Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

So Delwin told the matter to some of his most trusted subordinates, and then came to the Church of the Seven Gods outside Haiyan City alone.This church is located on the high ground of the "Gold Rush Town". On weekdays, the "incense is at its peak", and believers come here in an endless stream to pray, worship, repent or see a doctor.Later, Delwin took this place into military property in the name of "military recruitment". Now, the seven gods are still enshrined here, but they are not the seven gods in people's memory.

The Church of the Seven Gods has a huge arch, and seven huge rivets are nailed to the door frame of the arch.Delwin sneered as he looked at the nails, and then walked into the gate.Despite the raging fire outside, the church is still as peaceful as ever.A huge color altar stands in the center of the church, and seven faceless bronze statues wearing hoods surround the altar, seeming to be gazing at the things in the altar.The seven-color windows composed of cool tones divide the sunlight into seven messy colors, and the golden sunlight presents a strange sense of alienation from reality under the perspective of these glasses.

An old man wearing a monk's robe stood under the altar and was chanting scriptures in a low voice. His voice was old and firm, and every word was like a nail on an iron plate.

Delwin walked over and said, "Father, why are you still here?"

"I'm just doing the bishop's job." The old man said without turning his head.

Hearing this, Delwin showed a rare sad expression, and said: "Father Aymo, I admire you, you are a devout believer, and you are also a blind poor man, I told you once, you Deceived by evil spirits."

The old man continued to chant.

"I understand you with reason and emotion, and I try my best to persuade you, but I am still stubborn. If this continues, I can only drive you away." Delvin sighed and said, "You are my friend." The kindest person I've ever met, I don't want to be like this."

The old man no longer chanted scriptures, but sighed equally sadly, and said, "Delwin, you are also the kindest person I have ever met, but you have gone on the wrong path, you have betrayed your own beliefs, and you have been killed by evil gods." Deceived, I should have let paladins, punishers, and inquisitors deal with you, but I know you're a good man, and I wouldn't do that."

What the old man said was exactly the same as that of Delwin.He turned around and looked at the young man in front of him with a face as pale as a corpse, and said, "I stayed here to save you."

"help me?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, the old man took out a sharp one-handed sword. He put the sword on the white cloth, put the white cloth on the silver tray holding the Holy Grail, and finally handed it to Delvin with both hands.Delvin looked at him with a puzzled look and said, "What does the priest mean?"

He said, "I know you're going to the back altar to do something sacrilegious."

"I am a child of the Seven Gods, and I swear to protect my faith to the death.

"But I am not your opponent, I know that you have an army of tens of thousands of people, and you still have the power of evil gods in you, but I am just an old man who is out of breath even going up the stairs.

"But my soul is not lost to you, poor Delwin.

"If you want to pass here, you must kill me."

His tone was as calm as when he was chanting sutras just now.

"You have to stab a sharp sword into my heart and watch my blood spurt out. If you don't do it, I will do it too."

"If your conscience ached the moment you killed me, you should know that what you believe in is evil.

Delvin's face was livid, and he said, "What if my conscience doesn't ache?"

"That proves that you are hopeless." The old man said expressionlessly.

The old man was not tall, even stooped and thin, but he stood in front of Delwin like a high wall.He looked at the old guy, and his heart was inexplicably angry, thinking: I'll kill you right away, old man!So he took the sword away, but the old man laughed and said, "Look at your ugliness, Delwin!"

These words shocked Delvin into a cold sweat.

The water surface of the altar was like a mirror, reflecting Delwin's distorted face.He was holding a sword, his facial features were ferocious, his face was bloodless, only his eyes were extremely scarlet, he was really as terrifying as a demon.

At this moment, from the reflection on the water surface, the priest quietly took out a small knife from his waist, and raised his arm high...

"You scumbag!" Delvin yelled.

Chapter 150: If your conscience hurts, you should reflect on your words and deeds

At first, Delvin really didn't want to kill the old priest, because the old man was actually Delvin's guide.Delwin suffered from some kind of mental illness when he was a child. He suffered from insomnia, nightmares, and was always surrounded by invisible fears. He would often be at a loss, and then burst into tears.His father thought that he was possessed by evil spirits, and later his father took him to find the priest, hoping that the priest could use the power of the seven gods to drive away the devil on Delvin.

The priest said that the exorcism cannot be completed in three or two days, so he said that he should just let him practice here for a while, and he will study while heals.

Delwin's father was overjoyed, firstly because his son's illness was relieved, and secondly because "Father Aymo" was a well-known benevolent elder with noble morals and profound knowledge, it was definitely right to entrust his son to him.Thus, Delwin became the priest's apprentice and a devout follower of the Seven Gods.Father Aimo not only cured his illness, but also taught him a wealth of knowledge, the way of being a man, and the heart of revering the gods.

He spent almost his entire childhood in this church. The priest was his second father and was once someone he respected.

Therefore, Delvin didn't want to hurt the old man unless he had to.

But seeing the priest stabbing his ribs with the knife, Delvin felt no mercy anymore.He grabbed the old man's arm and roared, "You forced me, Father!"

"You...ah—!"

Before the old man could speak, the voice turned into a piercing scream.Delvin snapped off the old priest's wrist, and the old man screamed. Then Delvin picked up the sword that the priest had prepared earlier, and stabbed the old priest's chest with a click.

The old man's eyes were as big as copper bells. He opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Delvin's collar, saying, "Son, no..." The old man's eyes were full of sadness.

This call made Delwin regain his humanity for a short time. He felt a sudden pain in his heart at first, and then immediately became angry.He thought to himself: Why am I heartbroken?Could it be my conscience at work?Is my faith not firm enough?No!The person I killed was not my teacher, but an obstinate heretic!If anyone made a mistake, it must be the mistake of the "Seven Gods"!Father, he is just a victim of all this... Anyway, this has nothing to do with me!I'm doing the right thing, not to mention...

"Father, you were the one who wanted to kill me first!" Delwin said through gritted teeth.

He subconsciously hugged the old man's withered body with both arms, resting his back with one hand and his head with the other.He knew he shouldn't pity this person, but he couldn't bear to move his arms away.

The priest shook his head and said, "I never wanted to kill you, child, there is black smoke in your eyes, you are bewitched by something."

"No! No! No!" he said loudly. "It is you, my teacher, who are bewitched!"

"If you feel that your conscience is hurting, you should reflect on what you have done." After saying this, the priest's body softened like mud.

Father Aymo, he's dead.

Although the priest is dead, his words still linger in Delwin's mind.Delwin's heart throbbed violently.

If your conscience hurts, save your words and deeds—this was not the first time he had heard this lesson, the old priest had taught him this when he was a child.It was precisely because of adhering to the priest's creed that later Delwin grew up to be the only "honest man" among Jagober's sons.

He has always been adhering to this principle in doing things.Therefore, when members of the family make a fortune by despicable means, he will speak out to stop them; when brothers and sisters do things that ruin their reputation, he will point them out in person, and then use family law to discipline them; he also uses this principle to restrain his own Therefore, he became the most prestigious bachelor in Haiyan City, and even Duke Nicholas, the grand bachelor, looked at him with admiration.

Later, he began to serve the real gods, and together with Nicholas, he began to resist the oppression of the royal family, and started this vigorous battle of justice... Everything he did may be crazy in the eyes of others, but he never felt it My conscience will ache.

Haven't I been doing the right thing?He firmly believed.

But now, his chest throbbed like he was drowning, and he regretted so much that he wanted to cut out his heart.

If your conscience hurts, it's time for you to reflect on your actions—the priest's voice came to him again.The sadder he was, the more fearful he was, the more fearful he was, the more angry he was, and he was afraid that he was really wrong.As a result, Delwin finally lost his mind in anger, and he began to slash the priest's face with his sword frantically.

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Stop talking in my ear!"

One sword, two swords, three swords... The blade cut through the skin, smashed the bones of the face, and that old and kind face eventually became a bloody mess.The stinky juice splashed with the swing of the knife, falling on the altar, the floor, the ceiling, and Delwin's crazy face.

The priest's face gradually distorted its image, and every time he slashed, the priest's face in Delwin's memory would also deform once, until finally, the priest in his mind disappeared, replaced by the broken bone in front of him, A monstrous face, bloody and bloody, with brains splattered over shattered teeth.

After staring at it for a few seconds, he suddenly screamed "Wow", and then crawled away with hands and feet.The dislocation of childhood memories and reality pictures in his mind gave birth to a weird sense of fear.Instead of heartache, he began to fear. He just wanted to escape from this blood-stained altar.

He first looked away, and after he calmed down, he stood up slowly while supporting the stone pillar.Then he tried not to look at the priest's body on the ground, and walked around the road, but he couldn't help looking at it from the corner of his eye.At this moment, he saw a familiar object in the priest's hand

It was a ruler.

It was the ruler that the old priest used when he was teaching his apprentices. Delwin was often beaten over the head by it when he was a child, and so were the other classmates.Until the time of his death, the old priest still held the ruler in his hand.

Ruler?Shouldn't it be a knife?

I clearly saw this old man pick up a knife to assassinate me!

Am I wrong?No, how could I be wrong?How could I see this ruler as a knife?I know it!

A kind of fear sprouted in Delwin's heart again, this kind of fear was unspeakable, but it was even worse than before.He walked quickly to the old man's corpse, and this time he didn't care about the tragedy of the corpse. He knelt on the ground and looked for the "knife" everywhere.However, there was only blood, corpses, and the sword covered in blood and brains on the ground.

He stood up, returned to where he had first stood, and gazed down at the altar.

Recalling the previous scene in his mind, he suddenly realized: the priest didn't intend to assassinate me, but wanted to hit me on the head with a ruler.

Just like when teaching me many years ago.

Thinking of this, Delvin's back felt cold, and he murmured, "What is it that makes me regard a ruler as a knife?"

"You are bewitched, Delvin!" The old priest's voice sounded in his mind again, "I saw black smoke in your eyes, you are bewitched, bewitched by evil gods!"

Delwin remembered that a philosopher once said: Fear and anger are a pair of twins, and the two can transform into each other.And Delwin was like this at this time, his fear turned into anger, his pale face flushed, he strode into the back hall of the chapel, and shouted loudly: "God baby! I have something to ask you !"

In the back hall of the chapel, seven bronze gods form a semicircle, and in the center of the semicircle is a chair with a baby boy sitting on it.He looked like he had just been weaned, naked, but his sitting posture and the expression on his face didn't look like a baby.

At this moment, the baby opened his mouth and said, "What is it, my believer?"

Delvin suppressed the anger in his heart, saluted, and said, "Someone just deceived my eyes with a spell. What do you think about it?"

The boy dubbed "God Baby" giggled and said, "Cheating? That's not cheating..."

"Sure enough, you did it!" Delvin rushed up, reaching out to grab the baby, but at that moment, his body was suddenly sent flying by an invisible giant force, flying like a cannonball. out. "Bang!" Delwin's back hit the door panel, dust was flying on the door frame, he got up with a groan, and found that the hand he stretched out just now was burned red by something.

"This time it's just a warning, my believer, next time you won't be able to keep your arm," Shenying said.

Delwin raised his head and saw a golden, burly shadow behind the baby, which disappeared in the next second.

Knowing the power gap between himself and the opponent, Delwin had no choice but to hold back his temper and said, "Why did you lie to me, baby god? Are you doubting my belief?"

"Cheating? No, no, no, I didn't deceive you." The infant continued to giggle, "What you saw was a ruler, and that was indeed a ruler, but what I saw was indeed a sharp knife! "

"What do you mean?"

Shenying said solemnly: "I just presented what that old man was thinking directly in front of your eyes. So, I didn't lie to you."

Delwin said, "No, you lied! The old priest treated me like his own son, how could he kill me?"

"If he doesn't kill you, he will die himself. People are selfish, Delvin." The voice in his head sneered, "When you saw that he was going to kill you, didn't you also decisively defend yourself? ?As far as I know, your virtue and character are no less than that of the old priest. The priest treats you like a son, but you also regard him as a second father. Then, since the son can decisively go to the hospital when his life is threatened Killing the father, on the other hand, why can't the father kill the son?"

These words left Delwin speechless.

"What's more, it's wise to kill that stubborn priest. Father Aimo serves a false god and is a stumbling block to our great cause. What's wrong with killing him? If you feel uncomfortable, then you should curse The Seven Gods, the plateau people royal family who served the Seven Gods, and Leoric's Northern Expeditionary Army—my loyal believer, don't let your faith be shaken! I can feel that you are about to win."

Delwin looked at the baby god noncommittally, he didn't know what to do - his conscience was hurting, which meant that he had done something wrong.But what went wrong?

Delwin recalled his own experiences, and there was nothing wrong with that!I did nothing wrong!I tore off the hypocritical veil of the Seven Gods, and then I chose to serve the real "Plateau Ancestor God" in front of me. I followed Duke Nicholas and pulled out the seven nails that sealed the Ancestor God. I led the army to resist the coalition forces of the royal family and cultists. I... …I've been on the right track, I shouldn't be in this pain.

The baby suddenly said in an old voice: "Don't be confused, Delvin! You are a child of the plateau people and also my blood. I, the ancestor god of the plateau people, the god of the sun, will bless you."

Delwin raised his head and saw the burly golden shadow behind the baby god reappeared, shining golden like the sun.That was exactly the image that Delwin had seen in the book: the ancestor god of the plateau people!The supreme sun god who can melt all ice and snow!

"Yes, Sun God." He bowed deeply.

Seeing that Delvin had returned to his former loyalty, the golden shadow disappeared, and an imperceptible evil sneer flashed across the corner of the baby's mouth.

At this time, a soldier shouted from outside, he said: "Master Delvin! The commanders of the coalition forces request you to return to the camp immediately to discuss important matters!"

"Understood!" There is nothing to discuss, but to persuade me to run away!he thought.

The sound of soldiers' footsteps faded away.At this time, the baby god giggled again, and said: "You seem to be in a state of desperation now. It seems that those guys like Leoric are more difficult to deal with than imagined. Oh, I forgot to ask you, you are here today What is the real purpose of looking for me? Let's talk about business." The baby's eyes were shining with evil light, and the two dark golden eyes were shining with deep starlight.

Delvin thought to himself: That's all, let's stop with the matter of the priest. My top priority now is to defeat Leoric.

If I fall down here, the fate of the plateau people will come to an end, and I will die with hatred in the end, and then become a sinner of history.

He said: "God baby! I beg you to show the deep and grand law, and use divine magic to help me defeat the enemy!"

Shenying's expression became serious, and he stroked his chin with his hand, just like an old man strokes his beard.He said: "If all the seven nails on my body were pulled out, I know that I can go into battle and help you kill those heretics. However, the curse that the last royal family put on me is so vicious that even if there is a single nail, I will kill you." Unable to exert divine power."

"If that's the case..." I can only take everyone to Nicholas, he thought.

"But!" Shenying changed his voice, "I can lend you a nail."

"Nails? Oh, you mean..."

"Yes, most of the seven nails were pulled out, and some were destroyed, but some nails here were influenced by me and decided to work for us."

The baby god opened his palm, and a seven-inch long black iron nail appeared out of nowhere.It was floating, with bursts of black smoke emitting from it, exuding despair and ominousness.

Delwin looked at the nail with wide eyes and said, "This is..."

Shenying said: "This is one of the seven nails that sealed me, and it is also the 'God of the Night' among the seven gods. Let him help you."

The seven gods themselves! ?Although Delwin knew that the Seven Gods were false gods, he was a devout believer of the Seven Gods, and he still had a heart of reverence for the Seven Gods.

If the god himself can help me, then Leoric will have nothing to fear!Although this guy is known as the "God of War", he is a mortal after all!He is not the opponent.

"Then let's go now? That, Lord Yegami?" He said impatiently.

"Wait, as you can see, the current Night God is just a nail, and needs a human sacrifice to make him appear—for this, I need to sacrifice the soul of a devout believer."

"Are you going to use me as a sacrifice?" Delwin asked.He was actually mentally prepared for this.

Shenying laughed and said, "Yes, devout believer, but don't worry, you just summoned Night God for one night, so you only need half of your soul."

"What's the price?"

"It's nothing more than half the life span." He said lightly.

Delwin nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay! If the great cause can be achieved, then what's the point of my entire life, not to mention half of it?"

Shenying said to him: "It's really touching! Devout believers, the ancestor gods will never let you down—well, swallow this nail."

Delwin looked at the nail as long as his forearm and said, "Swallow it directly?"

He said: "Don't worry, this nail has no physical substance, it will only hurt if you swallow it, but it won't really break your intestines."

"it is good."

So Delwin swallowed the nail.Sure enough, it was very painful, like piercing the intestines and breaking the stomach, but there was no bleeding.However, this kind of pain is still not as painful as when he killed the priest just now.Thinking of this, Delwin's heart was filled with anxiety and confusion.
