Chapter 233 [232] Lighting up the night
Poly Poma looking for a backer?

In this world, is there anything more reliable than our Lord's Equilibrium?

The world is sinful, only the belief in balance can be redeemed.

Ziboche praised silently in his heart.

However, Polypoma's pupils were already shaking. It was obvious that Ziboche's words had been left behind for a moment, but there seemed to be echoes in his ears——

Tugo is dead!
Maybe it was because I woke up and my thinking was still in trouble.

Only now did he really realize the point.

Ziboche came back from Tower Cave City.

But Tadong City has become a place of death, the divine punishment of destroying the world has come, and there is an influx of undead legions riding wild beasts.

"Big, my lord..."

"Master Tugo failed to escape?"

"Then how do you..."

Qi Boche interrupted him and said, "You want to ask me, Tugo is dead, why am I still alive?"

"Actually, Tugo was able to live."

"That night the army of judgment attacked Tadong City, and the soldiers in the city stood firm on the high walls. Even if the army of judgment was wearing the armor bestowed by the gods, at least the garrisons of the city-states in Tadong City were invincible."

Polypoma gasped and said, "Are those rumors true?"

"Is that the undead legion?"

Although the sky is falling and the nobles are supporting it, of course Polypoma cannot avoid worrying.

The rumors about Tower Cave City are unbelievable, but if verified by witnesses like Qi Boche, they will definitely not be false.

Qi Boche nodded: "I entered the city before dusk, and I also heard rumors in this city! But we are all mortal bodies, so how can we not die?"

"When defending the city, the garrison threw huge stones, which also caused damage to the army of judgment."

"However, as the rumors say, our arrows, knives and axes cannot harm the Legion of God."

"Then, how did Tadong City break down?"

Qi Boche didn't speak in a hurry, but turned around and sat down, picked up the kettle on the table and poured water.

Seeing this scene, Polipoma immediately stepped forward and took the cup, "My lord, you continue to speak, I will serve you! A sumptuous banquet will be prepared in the main hall later, to wash away the dust of your journey."

Qi Boche nodded with a smile, and said again: "The first round of defense is over, and the garrison will send sergeants to report the good news to the city affairs officers."

"The army of judgment retreated, and they won a big victory!"

Polypomar had a weird look on his face. Even if he had experienced all of this himself, if he substituted himself in it, he would not be convinced by the so-called "big victory".

Qi Boche saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Yes, Tu Ge doesn't believe it either!"

"Including the state affairs officers of the city-states, they are all ready to escape from Tadong City."

"But……"

"How could they have thought that God's punishment would come!!"

"The fire soaring into the sky illuminated the night sky. The high wall collapsed, the bricks and stones were burned, and they splashed into the sky, like the end of the world."

"..."

Following Ziboche's description, Polypoma couldn't help but hold his breath, and the scenes were constructed in his mind.

"Then, what happened next?"

Qi Boche said: "The city is in chaos, Tu Ge has asked his servants to pack their bags..."

"As I said, he could have lived."

"There was a long period of time between when God's punishment came and when the army of judgment entered the city. That's why some people were able to escape from the tower hole."

"But, I killed him!"

"You killed him..." Polypomar murmured subconsciously, but after a moment, he suddenly realized the meaning of these words, and exclaimed again, "You, you, you killed Tugo?! !"

Polypomar's head roared, and he took a step back out of conscious instinct.

But Qiboche's voice did not fall.

"Yes, I killed Tugo with my own hands!"

Polly Poma couldn't believe it, "My lord, are you kidding me?"

"Master Tugo is dead, what good is it for you?"

But before Qiboche could answer, he exclaimed again: "You betrayed Tugo and turned to the army of judgment?"

Seeing that he had come to his senses, Qiboche stopped circling around, "The only true God in the world has come, and He has given the way to salvation. Why don't people in the world want to go to Him?"

"This is no betrayal, Polypomar!"

"It's an awakening to expose falsehood and evil!"

Polypoma's mind was completely messed up.

He spoke several times, but hesitated to speak, not knowing how to refute.

Because he also knows...

That is the god, the only true god in the world.

How could it be wrong to believe in the true God?
I heard Qiboche say again: "I know what you are thinking in your heart! You are afraid, whether you can save yourself after the judgment comes."

"And everyone in the world thinks the same way, alienating and abandoning Him for fear of judgment, and abandoning Balance!"

"But in fact, except for those who annihilated along with the high wall, the people of Tadong City are all happy and peaceful!"

"On that night, people have chanted the holy name of Kinkou and dedicated their hearts of faith..."

"Whoever repents of his sins will have the merciful gaze of our Lord God."

"Only the most wicked person who has hurt another's life deserves a fair trial."

"All city-state affairs officials were arrested, and those who committed crimes were also identified by the people in the city!"

Polypomar was dizzy, but he still grasped the point, "Then why are you still alive? You also committed crimes!"

Qi Boche shook his head bitterly: "My path of judgment is different from others."

Say it.

He took out a thing wrapped in sheepskin from his arms, and opened it carefully, revealing a thin piece of paper.

This was something Poly Poma had never seen before.

But when Ziboche lifted it up, he exclaimed again——

"This, what is this?"

Qi Boche said: "Don't you know?"

Polypoma was incoherent: "I, I know, this, this is you. But why are you, why are you..."

Qiboche finally revealed the truth, "This is my soul, which has been imprisoned by the Lord God and sealed on it!"

"This is the difference between me and others. My road to trial is even more difficult!"

"Now, do you understand?"

"When the glory of the true God and His severe judgment come, no one in the world can escape and hide!"

"Only by going to him and begging for his benevolent gaze can the world be saved!"

puff.

Polipoma fell to the ground, dazed, and murmured involuntarily, "The world is guilty, so am I... Will I also be judged?"

However, Qiboche's voice reappeared, causing his absent-minded eyes to rekindle the fire of hope, "Polipoma, let me ask you, are you willing to move towards equilibrium? Step on a difficult road, and go on firmly! Seek The way of redemption?"

"I, can I?"

Qiboche's figure suddenly jumped out of Queztitko's mind, and his face showed the same expression as that night, saying:
"In the holy name of Balance, I send down His precepts at this moment..."

"You need to ask yourself, are you ready, wholeheartedly, to move toward equilibrium?"

"If you wish, I will protect your sins, let you seek the way of redemption, and pass on the fire of balance..."

"Polypoma, ask the voice in the depths of your heart, tell yourself, and tell Him, your firm faith!"

Polypomar closed his eyes, and there was a pious look on his brows. He seemed to be praying in his heart, and he responded in a low voice not long after——

"I wish!"

Opening his eyes, the two looked at each other.

Ziboche smiled and said to him, "Then join me in praising His name!"

"Praise the Lord, praise the balance;"

"Equilibrium exists among all things!"

……

That night.

The banquet that was originally prepared in the main hall was arranged by Polypomar in the side hall, and the servants were strictly ordered not to come close and peep.

At the same time, Ziboche also taught him the doctrine of balance, and fully described everything that happened in Tower Cave City.

"In that night, before I let you leave the city immediately, the hill city had already surrendered to the equilibrium!"

"Do you know the Lord of the Hill City?"

Polypoma nodded, "Verhutel, he has sent many slaves from the Northland to us slave traders over the years, either in the name of military service or in the name of crime..."

At this point, he seemed ashamed again, "This is all a manifestation of sin."

Ziboche said: "Therefore, he has been judged!"

"And those noble lords in Tapdong City who failed to escape will also suffer the same fate as him."

Polypoma said: "My lord, how is the tower cave city now?"

But Qi Boche shook his head: "I don't know! On the night when God's punishment came, I had to go out of the city overnight because of the oracle of balance issued by the deputy inspector, Quiztitko!"

"Also explore the situation in each city along the way, and send my wife and relatives to Tadong City!"

Polypoma said again: "The army of judgment is no longer going south, what else do we have to do?"

It is true that after Qiboche left Tapdong City, he was also confused by this.

But after traveling all the way, he already had an idea——

"My lord has a word, those who are willing to walk toward equilibrium will be redeemed!"

"Before I left, the Deputy Inspector had already stated that the Tower Cave City would not be closed. When more and more people set out from the Tower Cave, they would pass on the doctrine of balance!"

"Then there must be someone like me who will send family members and relatives to the tower hole and be included under the glory of the balance."

"However, the city-states will never give up on this, and will definitely obstruct it secretly."

Polypoma exclaimed: "The true god penetrates everything in the world, and their deeds cannot be concealed. How dare they offend the true god?"

Qiboche sneered: "Only you know the mighty power of the true god, but the world is ignorant, blinded by evil, and harbors luck."

"And I told you just now..."

"Those who are close to the balance, and those who come to him, will be redeemed."

"And those who betray the equilibrium will also be betrayed by the equilibrium."

"The Deputy Inspector said that in a few decades, disasters will come, and evil spirits from the other side of the ocean will land..."

"Therefore, my lord will no longer impose the divine punishment of destroying the world on them, but just stop looking at him and abandon him, and they will become people abandoned by God."

"When distant disasters come before them and they are allowed to cry out in pain, there will no longer be a balanced glory to give them salvation."

"Polypoma, you have to remember that devout faith cannot be forced, so I want you to ask your soul, whether you want to go to Him wholeheartedly."

"Even if you are harboring falsehoods at this moment, although I don't know it, my Lord Balance knows it, so the chains of your sins have become even heavier!!"

Polypoma gasped, and immediately praised: "Praise the Lord, praise the balance! Please cast your true gaze and examine my sincerity."

After he pleaded, Qi Boche went straight to the point.

From the seat beside him, he picked up the luggage he brought, and took out a bag of gems and feather coins from it.

"This is the property I found from Tugo's house, and I will give it to you now."

Looking at the exquisite gemstones and feather coins, Polipoma's eyes widened and he became excited: "My lord, do you want me to re-purchase the stockpiles?"

Qi Boche glared at him, "After hoarding, are you going to earn money from the suffering people?"

Polypoma suddenly realized that the army of judgment was no longer going south. Although the market price will not fall back, as long as it does not develop, the market price will tend to stabilize.

Besides, he is already a member of the fire spreader, how can he still do these evil things?

"My lord, I was quick-mouthed for a while, but I never meant to violate the balance in my heart."

"It's good that you know in your own mind." Qi Boche didn't bother to inquire about his sincerity, and if he didn't know how to repent up to this point, no one could save him, so he continued: "These property are given to you to bribe the guards, dignitaries or court in the city." The waiter..."

"The fire bearer not only spreads a balanced fire, but also lights up the road in the dark and guides the direction for those who yearn for the light."

Polypomar immediately understood, "We want to help the brothers who are going to balance escape in secret?"

"Yes! Those who set off with me are now going to various cities to open up a path of balance in the dark!"

"And before that, it was another reason why I came to you this time..."

Polypoma was puzzled.

Then Qi Boche said: "Have you ever remembered my instruction to take care of the father and son?"

"Where are they now?"

Polypoma was stunned for a moment, not knowing who the 'father and son' Ziboche was talking about.

But he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

After his thoughts flowed, he finally caught the trace, "But the two slaves you sent me when you let me escape overnight from the tower cave?"

Qiboche nodded solemnly: "They are already the people of Balance, but I was still blinded by sin at that time!"

"Although it is too late now, if it can be made up, at least it will give me some relief."

Polypomar's thoughts became more and more clear, remembering the prayer that a middle-aged man sent to him on the day he returned to Tepanix...

"I remember, he was looking for his heir!"

"It should be sent to the garden official's mansion."

"Tomorrow, I can let Oyer go to investigate the situation... Besides, my lord, can I tell Oyer all this?"

Qiboche looked at him seriously: "It is an honor to pass on the fire of balance, but we are in the bad land, so we must be careful."

"You must use your true eyes to discern whether that person has the sincerity to yearn for balance."

"If you believe he still has goodness in his heart, you can tell him everything."

"Otherwise, before we light the fire of balance for others, the darkness around us will swallow us up and fall into the calamity of death."

Polypomar also solemnly said: "My lord, I know the truth! As you said, this is a difficult road, and we must go on firmly!"

"Oyer is my brother, I trust him!"

The two chatted until late at night.

Qiboche lived in this house.

The next day, in the light of day.

He was awakened by Polipoma, and there was a young man who came with him. When he saw Ziboche, he knelt down and bowed, "My lord, I don't know the truth of what my brother said, but I know... those noble gentlemen are not good thing!"

"It's like Natelcante, who committed endless crimes, I wish he could be tried now!"

"As long as you tell me, I will do my best to complete it!"

"If the only true God in the world can relieve the bad breath in my heart, I will dedicate everything to serve Him, believe in Him, and worship Him..."
