Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

When Kashin heard the other party's grateful request for death, he finally laughed, a confident, hearty and direct laugh, like the laugh of a triumphant general on the battlefield facing an enemy who had no power to fight back.

When the dark priest heard such laughter, he felt relieved. In his original expectation, Kashen might be a cruel and dishonest person, but at this moment, this laughter made him realize that this enemy might still have a trace of morality and be able to keep his word.

This was undoubtedly a faint but precious ray of hope for the dark priest who was in a desperate situation. Although his heart was still filled with fear and anxiety, he was somewhat comforted. After all, he knew that he was facing an opponent with a certain sense of rules, not a completely unpredictable demon.

This laughter was just the laughter of a winner, a natural reaction after Kashin gained the upper hand in this battle of wills.

Kashin stopped laughing and his expression turned serious. He looked at the dark priest and said slowly:

"No problem. I will give you the most pleasant death. However, Mr. Dark Priest, we can make a deal. Although you are blind, if you are given enough good medicine, your miraculous self-healing skill can restore your eyesight. Am I right?"

At this time, the dark priest was a little excited when he heard Kashen's words. To him, it was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.

He originally thought he was doomed to die, but now it seems he still has a chance to survive.

He calculated quickly in his mind. He knew nothing about navigation, so it was impossible for him to betray the Vatican with navigation information. He also didn't know much about other information. As for the deal to save his life, he might as well listen to what the other party's conditions were.

After all, in the face of life and death, even a glimmer of hope is worth fighting for. So he said carefully:

"Please teach me, Lord Viscount, how can I exchange for my life?"

There was a hint of expectation and hesitation in his voice. After all, he knew that the conditions proposed by Kashin might conflict with his beliefs and loyalties.

Kashin saw that the other party still wanted to live, which was good, so he said slowly:

"Only if Mr. Dark Pastor publicly admits in front of the whole city that he spread the plague and deeply repents, we will consider letting you live! Of course, you just confessed the plague formula and antidote, although it is still under discussion, it is also a contribution of your hard work. I plead for you and perhaps spare your life..."

Kashin's request has far-reaching significance. In this city, the spread of the plague has caused great panic and destruction, and the people are panic-stricken. They are eager to know the truth and find the culprit.

If the Dark Priest could publicly admit it, it would not only allow the people to vent their anger, but would also ease social tensions to a certain extent.

Moreover, for Kashin, this was also a way to consolidate the civilians' hatred for the cult, and to use diplomacy to get the confession of the dark priest and deal a heavy blow to the reputation of the cult.

In this way, more countries will begin to guard against the Church of Light, and the believers will be like rats crossing the street, and everyone will shout and kill them. The pressure faced by Napmasai will be greatly reduced, which will be beneficial to the struggle with the church.

"Ah, Lord Viscount, if I do this, I will be betraying the Church, which is an unforgivable crime. I will go to hell after death. This! I can't do it. I'm sorry, I can't obey your order..." After hearing what Kashen said, the dark priest refused without hesitation.

In his heart, the status of the Church is supreme. He was instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the Church since he was a child, and this loyalty has penetrated into his bones and integrated into his blood.

According to the teachings of the Vatican, betraying the Church is an unforgivable sin, a sin more terrible than death because it means that the soul will be forever thrown into hell and suffer endless torture.

For a shadow priest, he would rather choose death than go against his beliefs and walk into the abyss of no return.

Although his eyes showed a desire for life, there was more determination, an unwavering defense of his beliefs.

The power of this faith and loyalty was fully demonstrated at this moment. Even the threat of death could not shake him in the slightest.

Kashin sighed, "If those of you who spread the plague go to heaven, it would be a violation of conscience and morality. I have fought hard to hunt you down, just to save the people from suffering. Who of us will go to heaven? Please use your doctrine to judge?"

The Church has already committed many evil deeds. If you can turn back and let the world see the evil deeds of the Church, you will do a great service to the people of the world. How can you go to hell? The real devil is the Church. Don't become a tool of the devil..."

Kashen's sincere words were actually quite effective. The dark priest knew that this was not something that could be decided hastily, and he needed time to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

After all, he had been educated in the Vatican since he was a child, and religious beliefs had long been deeply rooted in his heart and had become the whole meaning of his life.

In the closed and strict education system of the Holy See, doctrine is like a steel framework that constrains and shapes the thoughts and behaviors of every believer.

For him, changing one's mindset is not as easy as changing clothes, but like breaking the foundation deep in one's soul. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

The topic raised by Kashen about who is more likely to go to heaven based on his and the shadow priest's behavior is indeed worth pondering.

In the past, it seemed that the Holy See had a monopoly on the right to judge good and evil, but this judgment has been challenged in today's complex situation.

For example, as a viscount who saved the world, Kashin's actions might be regarded by the Vatican as persecution of believers, but from the perspective of saving many innocent people from the suffering of the plague, he was undoubtedly doing a great good deed with immeasurable merit.

Even though he killed all the believers who spread the plague, in the eyes of many people, he was still a hero who was fighting for the survival and well-being of the entire society.

This re-examination of good and evil has, to a certain extent, broken the Vatican's long-standing absolute control over moral judgments.

After expressing his opinion, Kashin generously gave the shadow priest a night to think about it.

Then he took the dark priest away from the frozen river and escorted him to the arrow tower where Master Sendi was temporarily stationed, so that he could rest there for a night.

This move reflects Kashin's strategic and humane approach in handling the matter.

He understood that excessive pressure might only make the shadow priest more determined to refuse to cooperate, while giving certain preferential treatment might soften the shadow priest's attitude.

As long as the shadow priest is willing to repent and confess his sins, the church will be the public enemy of mankind. In the war of public opinion, Pumasai has completely turned the tables.

It is easy to kill a shadow priest. If you make the shadow priest repent and confess his sins, the effect will be better than killing 100,000 shadow priests.
