wicked immortal

Just as Wan Ling'er was concentrating on researching some products to deal with corpse demons every day, and was preparing to sharpen his knives and rush to pigs and sheep, the atmosphere of war in New Moon City became more and more intense, and the number of soldiers patrolling on the city wall also increased. , The materials on the city wall are piled up like a mountain.

On the ninth day of Zhao Yuan's arrival in New Moon City, Chen Dao received a letter. It was an open letter, to the effect that teenagers who had reached the age of 15 wanted to report in the training camp, signed with the seals of the military and the temple.

When Chen Dao received this letter, he was overjoyed. He immediately took out all the magic cores on his body, bought back a lot of wine and food, and prepared to celebrate.

In the evening, a table of sumptuous meals was ready, waiting for Chen Mang to come back for dinner.

Chen Mang is a person who has a great sense of time. These days, Chen Mang goes out at dawn every day and comes back on time for dinner.

In Zhao Yuan's eyes, Chen Mang's whereabouts are somewhat mysterious, except for occasionally exchanging fighting skills with Zhao Yuan, most of the time he is busy, but he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Zhao Yuan made indirect remarks many times and asked Chen Mang what he was busy with, but Chen Mang basically kept silent.

In fact, even Chen Dao was not sure about Chen Mang's whereabouts, he just knew that Chen Mang was a mercenary.

In the Magic Core Continent, mercenaries are a very complicated industry, and their duty is to protect the safety of some supplies and merchants.Compared with the mercenaries of the Great Qin Empire, the profession of mercenaries in the Demon Core Continent is more dangerous, because their biggest enemy is not the green forest man who occupies the mountain as king, but the corpse demon.

When it was time to eat, Chen Mang went home on time as always, and sat down in his seat quietly.

Seeing Chen Mang coming home, Aunt Six and Aunt Jiu immediately brought some dishes warm in the pot to the table.

What is worth mentioning here is that Aunt Six and Aunt Nine have taken over the kitchen since they moved into Chen Mang's house, and they all seem to have received professional training, and the meals they cook are extremely delicious. Let everyone feast their mouths, even the taciturn Chen Mang will praise a few words.

"What's going on today?" Chen Mang sat down, looked at the table full of sumptuous meals, and couldn't help asking.

"Brother, look!" Chen Dao excitedly handed the letter to Chen Mang.

"no!"

Chen Mang just glanced at the letter, suddenly became furious, and tore the letter to pieces.

"Why?" Chen Dao didn't expect that Chen Mang would suddenly get angry, he was a little caught off guard, and looked at his brother in surprise.

"No way, no way." Chen Mang paused every word, and his tone was firm, without any room for negotiation.

"I don't care. I'm going!" Chen Dao looked aggrieved, with tears rolling in his eyes.

"No! Unless I, Chen Mang, die, otherwise, don't even think about it in your life!"

Chen Mang stood up abruptly, walked away, and returned to his room.

Chen Dao's lips trembled, tears streaming down silently.Chen Mang, shattered his dream.

The atmosphere is oppressive and suffocating.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. No one thought that Chen Mang would suddenly lose his temper. You must know that being a soldier is the highest honor in New Moon City.

"Everyone eat, eat."

"Eat." Seeing that Chen Dao was heartbroken, Wan Ling'er, who was usually alone, took food for Chen Dao for the first time.

It was supposed to be a happy celebration banquet, but Chen Mang ruined the atmosphere, and Chen Dao, who was originally extremely excited, couldn't swallow the feast at all, but kept sobbing, and everyone's comfort was also to no avail.

"Chen Dao, eat something first, don't starve, I advise your brother to go."

"Hmm." In Chen Dao's eyes, there was a look of hope.

Zhao Yuan got up and went into the room.

Inside the room, Chen Mang sat on the floor with an angry expression on his face, sulking.

"Chen Mang, Chen Dao has always hoped to become a respectable warrior, this time is his only chance, I think..." Zhao Yuan sat in front of Chen Mang.

"No!" Chen Mang was concise and forceful as always.

"Can you tell me why?"

"There is no reason." Chen Mang shook his head.

"Is it the Xuantian Temple?" Zhao Yuan stared at Chen Mang with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through Chen Mang's internal organs.

"Who the hell are you?" Chen Mang stood up abruptly, first looked at Zhao Yuan with a face of shock, and immediately, that shock turned into boundless murderous intent, which made Chen Mang look like a man with a head at any time. There may be violent beasts that injure people.

"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy, let's chat slowly, besides, you can't kill me." Zhao Yuan said lightly.

"How do you know?" Chen Mang sat down slowly, a pair of leopards stared at Zhao Yuan viciously, the killing intent still persisting.

"Actually, I don't know anything." Zhao Yuan smiled wryly.

Chen Mang glanced at Zhao Yuan, snorted coldly, then lowered his head and remained silent.

"What's going on with Xuantian Temple? I feel weird." Seeing that Chen Mang didn't speak, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to ask.

"Don't ask me, I won't say anything."

Chen Mang closed his eyes slightly, ignored Zhao Yuan, and practiced on his own.

Although Zhao Yuan has only been in contact with Chen Mang for a few days, he is very familiar with this taciturn man. If he doesn't want to talk about a man like Chen Mang, he will never say anything, even with a knife on his neck. Will frown.

Faced with Chen Mang's silence, Zhao Yuan had no better solution. However, he had basically determined that the main reason for Chen Mang's refusal to let Chen Dao join the army was his dissatisfaction with the Xuantian Temple.

Although the Xuantian Temple does not directly participate in the management of the human army, in fact, the Xuantian angels sent by the temple influence the decision-making of the army leaders.

Whether it is New Moon City or other cities inhabited by humans, Xuantian Temple has absolute influence.

It can be said that Xuantian God Magister is the only belief of mankind, and is revered by mankind as the only god. The degree of human devotion to him is extremely terrifying. Many families devote all their wealth to worship the temple, and their degree of devotion can be seen.

In a city inhabited by human beings, Miaozong is the supreme leader of the city, even if it is the highest leader of the army, he does not dare to question the right of Miaozong.

In these days, Zhao Yuan bought a large number of books from the Demon Core Continent, many of which mentioned heretics, and most of those heretics were burned to death after being tortured. There are too many such cases...

……

After synthesizing a lot of information, Zhao Yuan realized that not all people in the human society in the Demon Core Continent are loyal believers of the Xuantian Temple, and there is still a force against the temple in the dark.

As for the temple, the opposing forces are extremely cruel and bloody, which is heinous, and they are often stoned to death in public, and they are lingering to death, and most of them are burned alive.

The temple's method of dealing with heretics is extremely absurd and barbaric. As long as they are suspected objects, they will be named "wizards" immediately. On the Magic Core Continent, wizards are regarded as unknown. As long as they are judged as wizards by the temple, they will be sentenced immediately. The death penalty was imposed, because the wizard was not only reviled by the public, but also hunted down by the masters sent by the temple.

The temple has a mysterious organization called "Temple Tribunal".

The members of the Temple Tribunal are all masters. Not only are they of high status, but they also have the power of life and death. As long as they are recognized as wizards by them, they can be killed directly.

When Zhao Yuan knew about the organization of the Temple Tribunal, he immediately realized that the humans in the Demon Core Continent were not as united as they appeared on the surface...
