Chapter 375: The Union of the Nobility and the Church

After observing the situation for a while, Ji Ming cast a [Suggestion Technique] on the guardian: "Don't look out of sight" and "Just patrol a little".

Then he continued forward, giving the same hint to everyone he met, turning them all into blind patrols in the game.

The further you go, the more armed men patrol the wider cave, and soon the density reaches a level where it is absolutely impossible to sneak in with physical skills alone without special means.

Even if Ji Ming had the Breath-Breaking Talisman on him, he almost hit one of them head-on when he turned a corner. If he hadn't dodged quickly enough, he would have had to directly summon the two wolves to attack, which would have reached the point of violent stealth.

Cursing secretly in his heart, he also discovered something wrong - this group of apologists seemed to have no interaction at all when they met each other.

If they weren't trained like cold-faced Shuras and had no emotions in their hearts, then it was only possible that they didn't know each other and came from different churches.

But there was no need to guess anymore, because after walking some distance along the maze-like underground cave, Ji Ming's guess was confirmed.

He finally came to the core of this underground maze. Next to the heavy door, there were almost all the emblems of gods hanging on the wall.

If this was an adventure movie, even the invincible Dr. Indiana Jones would turn pale with fright. After all, one of the emblems depicts a lifelike and ferocious snake.

But in Ji Ming's eyes, this scene was quite a bit like walking into a restaurant, looking up, and finding the menu hanging above the counter, with every delicacy clearly written on it.

But all kinds of emblems of gods appeared, whether Ji Ming knew them or not, but the old sheep-headed one did not appear.

So as a saint recognized by the believers, Ji Ming, the Chosen Shadow God, became angry.

——I don’t dare to call you Big Brother in today’s meeting, but I don’t even dare to think about what you will do in tomorrow’s meeting!

He cast shadow magic, turned into a flowing shadow, and squeezed in through the tightly locked door.

When Ji Ming found a suitable viewing position, he lay on the ceiling and looked down, feeling happy.

It turns out that there are already many people in this large underground cave, which is as crowded as a train station during the Spring Festival.

They surrounded the large stone round table in the middle, obviously standing according to their respective camps.

And since they come from different churches, they must have different decoration preferences and clothing styles.

Some of them wiped their faces as white as snow, as if they were pretending to be ghosts.

Some lines were painted on the face with red paint, maybe for a big show.

He also shaved his head completely, tattooed a bunch of messy pictures on it, and even had a celestial eye opened on his forehead.

What's more, I don't know what kind of nonsense they believe in. It's like coming to a rehabilitation center for the disabled, and no one has all four limbs and five senses.

Therefore, at first glance, this group of lunatics can be described as grotesque. Together they look like a large pizza with many knives cut into it.

Moreover, not long after the meeting started, the representative priests sent by each church were speaking in extremely weird voices, some were sharp, some were hoarse, some were cold, and some almost used "Jie Jie Jie" as a punctuation mark, excitedly. complained.

"Holy God, those damn mysterious assassins! Our Witch Spirit Church has lost at least three secret strongholds this week, and their attacks were so vicious. It doesn't matter if there are no survivors, and they were all cut off. How can they return to the arms of God if they die with their heads!"

"Knife? That's so happy. My friend, my God, my brother has just been promoted to the leader of a parish. He didn't even show any trace of resistance. He was poisoned to death inexplicably in his sleep. If it weren't for his mouth, A flower was stuffed inside, and I didn’t even know it was murder!”

"Speaking of this, actually our church also..."

"Okay, okay! Don't mention it just because someone killed someone. Everyone has it. It's nothing. I think what everyone cares about now is... Who can tell me, that group Does anyone still care about the Trail Blazers? ”

The conversation suddenly became more intense, everyone was trying to speak, and the sound of swearing was like a hundred schools of thought contending.

"Speaking of which, they attacked one of our very important churches the night before yesterday! By the time our reinforcements arrived, not to mention the money they had managed to collect, even the statues on the top of the church had been knocked down and taken away! "

"What is this? A few days ago, I went to investigate an office that had been out of contact for three days. When I arrived, I discovered that not only the property, but also the rotting corpse of the guard was only wearing single clothes - they were so vicious, Even the armor on their bodies was taken away!"

"It's ridiculous, what's there to complain about? Come listen to my story! The day before yesterday... wu wu, there was a group of bastards... They swaggered into the altar that we had just moved to the mountains, wu wu , snatched away all the statues of our great goddess, wuwuwu!”

Um?

Ji Ming looked at the emblem on the chest of the crying man, browsed through the player forum, and found that it looked familiar to him because he had just seen it today.

[Master-level statue of Goddess Xingyu, genuine in stock, snatched by hand in the church, no knife required, what you see is what you get, can include exquisite painting, private message for details]

There is a rather exaggerated price marked below, so many players scolded the profiteers in the comment area - why are the prices increasing every day?

…

Hey, brother, think of something good. At least your goddess has successfully got her own tag in another world, and the fandom output... is quite a lot.

After temporarily collecting the series of mysterious characters sent by the mysterious netizen, Ji Ming continued to watch and found that every church was really in trouble.

And once the chatter box is opened, it cannot be stopped, so the more they talk, the angrier and more hysterical they get, and the situation feels like it is getting out of control.

One of them had tattoos all over his body, and it was hard to tell what kind of weird thing it was. He simply stood up on the table excitedly, waving his fists and yelling.

"They are simply a group of bandits! They are the scum of mankind! They are bastards! Beasts! Beasts! Parasites! If it weren't for their bad deeds, we should have developed our power into the Peach Blossom Territory long ago!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited again, and everyone started to curse loudly.

But while they were cursing, the representatives of the priests sitting at the table suddenly became silent, because...

Well, since they can be sent to attend such an important meeting, these representatives naturally have extremely high status in their respective churches.

As the saying goes, it is always cold at high places, but when people are cold, their blood drops and their brains become clearer, so they will not be as fanatical as the believers behind them.

so……

More than a dozen representatives looked at each other awkwardly, feeling that these words seemed to be scolding themselves. Finally, one of them said something.

"Well, it's useless to scold others and it won't solve the problem. Haha, let's stop scolding and continue talking about our own things."

Another priest with an exaggerated beard quickly agreed.

"Yes, we..."

He suddenly stopped speaking, and then his expression changed.

"Wait a minute, did that guy just mention the Peach Blossom Collar? Isn't that our territory! Who allowed you to come to our place to preach!"

The strange priest stared when he heard this.

"...Your territory? What a joke! Did you write your name there? Just say it!"

"I……"

The long-bearded priest was choked by him, but it was not that he had nothing to say, but that he suddenly thought of it again.

"Fuck, if you put it like that, I thought... I thought it was those mysterious assassins who did it, but it turns out it was because of you!"

Wei Qi was so anxious that he almost wanted to serve again, pointing at Chang Xi's nose.

"What? You don't want to slander anyone! I've never done anything to you!"

Before Chang Xu could speak, another priest suddenly woke up.

"Wait a minute, I suddenly feel like...are the pioneers the only ones who killed my family? Why do I feel like some of my old friends are also suspicious!"

The priest next to him slammed the table.

"Cao Ni Ma, what do you mean?"

He was startled, but he couldn't be timid in this kind of situation, so he slapped the table.

"Did I tell you? What do you think I mean?"

The other party simply pulled out the long knife from his waist with a loud sound.

"You're looking for death, right? Do you want to give it a try?"

His hands also burned with fire.

"Don't you dare to treat me like me?"

Seeing that two families had already revealed that they were having trouble, other churches were afraid that they would suffer a loss, so they also took action.

For a moment, the cave was tense, and it was about to start the fight they were best at.

ah?

Ji Ming, who was glued to the ceiling, never expected that he had clearly not finished his performance yet, so why would they start fighting among themselves?

…

That’s okay too!

When playing games, his favorite thing to watch is wild monsters fighting each other, and then waiting for one of them to die before going up and giving some rewards to the champion, such as machetes and small stew pots.

So he moved to the center of the venue and found a more convenient location to watch the show.

After a brief stalemate among the people around the round table, Priest Wei probably knew that he was in the wrong and decided to strike first. He opened his mouth slightly while turning the direction of the sword.

However, the muscles in his legs were already bulging, and he was just about to scream and start tearing it apart when a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from the tall and heavy door.

The knocking sound was like bringing a gust of cool breeze, easing the tension in the field.

The strange priest, who thought for a second more, couldn't help but give up and relaxed all over.

——You can’t work hard, how can you make money even if you work hard?

"that……"

No matter how many people attend the meeting, there still needs to be an organizer. Even when everyone was furious just now, he didn't even have the slightest say.

After seeing that the situation seemed likely to be reversed, a priest in the crowd who was covered in metal ornaments stood up and took the initiative to drop the weapon in his hand.

"Colleagues, aren't we all gathered here to solve problems? This is a critical moment. Everyone, please remember to value peace!"

With such a step, the calmed down representatives also gave up their plans to solve the problem by force and responded one after another.

"Yes, no more fighting!"

"That's right. Hantie Church is very friendly to us on weekdays, so we've given you this face!"

"Yeah, everyone's losses have been big enough, so it's almost over."

And amid the noise of putting away their weapons and dragging their stools to sit down again, Priest Hantie, who had just quietly sent a signal, breathed a sigh of relief.

Hey, I originally wanted to wait a little longer, but if I don't invite you out, I'm afraid I'll be doomed...

He quickly came to the door and activated the magic circle. The door, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of advanced magic, slowly opened under the power of magic.

Ji Ming originally thought that something valuable had arrived, but when he took a closer look, he realized that something was not right.

Neat hairstyle, complicated clothes, a cane with unknown meaning, and a slightly raised head... this is clearly a noble!

"Oh, my respected noble friends, welcome to visit!"

Moreover, after Priest Hantie made a respectful gesture of invitation, more than one noble filed in, but one after another, more than ten nobles, men, women, old and young.

The guards that followed became even more exaggerated, with hundreds of armored soldiers. Ji Ming even noticed that one of the armored heavy swordsmen must be at least level 40.

In front of him, he was as humble as an ant, but in the south as long as he didn't be too crazy and didn't violate the norms of the nobility and the church, he would be like a god.

Now Ji Ming, who originally had the attitude of watching a show, couldn't sit still. After all, if the dozen priests who could sit down represented the dozen evil churches.

Then these dozen or so nobles are obviously not all together, could it be possible that they represent...

"Please spread out, haha, this table is too small and obviously not suitable for our increasingly powerful alliance!"

When Priest Hantie finished speaking, magic power surged and the earth trembled.

Under the influence of another magic circle, the round table was further filled and expanded by the surrounding stones, turning into a larger square parliamentary table.

The representatives of the church and the nobles sat on the left and right respectively, while the priest happily sat in the middle place facing the door.

It is true that there is no upper or lower round table, but according to the square table etiquette of Yangyue World, the person represented here should be the elder.

snort……

However, although some of the people seated frowned when they saw this, they did not get angry because of his cleverness.

Moreover, Priest Hantie didn't give them any room to speak. He bumped his butt against the seat and felt happy for a second before quickly standing up.

"There must be strangers and old friends among all of you here, but in any case, please allow me to serve as the leader of the meeting and introduce all the guests here in turn."

After that, he diligently introduced the identities of the guests to the people on both sides.

Ji Ming listened and searched for keywords in the wiki created by the players. He was a little stunned when he saw the end.

That's right, those dozen nobles represent more than a dozen families, or more than a dozen noble families.

If you add them together, they would cover almost half of the country on the southern map!
