Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 770 The Princess and the Knight

Diego kept talking until midnight. He told the people in the town about the existence of Silvermoon Harbor, about the second business-religion war that took place on that land not long ago, and how prosperous it was after the war. scene.

The gods are real, but he will never treat his believers as consumables for sacrificial ceremonies. The Tide Lord, who has used people's fear to rule the town for thousands of years, is just a monster with the slogan of the gods. He also mentioned Paladin's notes, which recorded the kingdom that once existed on this land, which belonged to their homeland.

And Palatine was probably the only one in town who could read.

However, it is not easy to give people hope. The Lord of Tide still hangs over the hearts of the local people like a shadow, making them dare not challenge the Lord of Tide at all.

Maintaining the status of sacrifices may allow more people to survive.

What's more, even in the story told by Diago, their ancestors had already failed once thousands of years ago. The commander and his proud fleet were wiped out, and they were cursed for generations to sacrifice Live humblely in the way of products.

Before dawn, the people in the square had dispersed.

"It's useless."

Paladin came to Diego. He stayed in the crowd all the time, listening carefully to what the other person said about the Father God. "I understand their concerns. The change of thinking does not happen overnight."

However, he did not expect that the "Godfather" mentioned by Diago was not the leader of that mechanical army.

"I have another question, how do we become believers in 'God the Father'?"

He felt that maybe the "Godfather" mentioned by Diego was a better result than being assimilated into a machine. The only problem now is that this child did not tell everyone the steps to become a believer.

As far as he knows, the Church of Tides has a strict screening mechanism, one of which is to prohibit them from becoming members of the church, so they absorb Protestants mainly in some coastal cities, and they will regularly bring Protestants back to the Misty Islands, These Protestants not only expanded the number of churches, but also brought them many technologies from outside the island.

This is indeed a good question.

Even Diego was questioned.

Thinking about it carefully, he met the messenger of the Father God in a dream. At that time, he and other orphans were also sacrifices of the Tidal Church. The messenger taught them the means of praying to the Father God, as well as those obscure spells.

They did escape from the fishing boat because of this.

"First of all, you need to get the approval of the Father God's messenger."

Diego is also a little uncertain, at least the messenger has never introduced the process of becoming a believer, and he doesn't even know the name of the church.

Looking back now, their beliefs do seem to be somewhat irregular.

"So, how do we get the messenger's approval?"

Paladin asked.

"Sleep...meditate."

Halfway through the talk, Diego quickly changed his words. He realized that if the standards for recruiting believers were already so informal, if he told the other party that they usually met the messengers through sleep, he might be treated as a fraudulent gang.

"meditation?"

Diego tried his best to make this matter sound more high-end, "That is the way to gather spiritual power, and Father God perceives each of his believers through spiritual power."

"I understand."

Fortunately, Paladin did not continue to ask, "It seems that this is not a step that can be completed in a short time."

And now there are more important things waiting for them to complete.

After thinking over and over again, he decided to tell a secret to the two people in front of him, "Actually, I hid one thing from you before. I know the way to the Tidal Church."

He didn't mention these things before, on the one hand because he didn't fully trust the two of them, and on the other hand because he knew that this trip could be described as a narrow escape.

Perhaps no one on this island knows the horrors of the Tide Lord better than he does.

People at that time exhausted the power of the entire country and finally failed to touch His existence. His power has long been beyond the scope of people's comprehension. Even through those broken inscriptions, he can feel that people at that time deeply sense of powerlessness.

"This method was told to me by the person who taught me how to read."

Speaking of this, Paladin seemed to recall those good memories, and it was those memories that accompanied him through the loneliest and most difficult days in his life, "I'm sure that the royal blood flows in her body." blood……"

Paladin suddenly paused.

This is also the reason why he called himself Paladin. He hoped that he could become a knight guarding the princess like Paladin, the hero of the kingdom.

"Where is she now?"

The "Emperor" asked. After one night, he finally heard some news that could bring them substantial progress.

"She's gone and gone back to where she belongs."

The stories of princesses and knights don't always end on a happy note.

Paladin collected himself and took out a music box that had been dusty for a long time. He opened the music box, and the melodious music echoed in the ears of the three of them, "All the secrets are hidden in this box."

"Emperor" waited patiently for the music to finish, and then he was disappointed.

Because according to the test results of the prosthetic eye, this is just an extremely ordinary music box, and it has existed for some years.

"When did she give you this music box?"

"About more than 70 years ago, the time is too long, I can't remember it. I have lived in this kind of place for a long time, and it is difficult for you to feel the passage of time. Every day looks similar..."

70 years ago.

This answer is much longer than the "emperor" imagined. At that time, the dark age had just come to an end, the gold rush period had not yet arrived, and the coalition government still knew very little about the "outside".

And now, they need to pass through a music box more than 70 years ago, pass through the most dangerous area of ​​​​the sea, and reach the sunken ruins of Atlantis.

For a person who believes in science, "Emperor" feels that a small submarine may seem much more reliable.

What is even more cruel is that according to statistics, the average life expectancy of the "outside" is only in the early 70s. After 70 years, the princess of the kingdom in Paladin's memory may have died long ago.

However, he still had a fantasy in his heart, "Maybe this music box is the key to unlock a certain device?"

"The princess once said that the melody played will protect the traveler from being lost at sea.

……

Even though their hearts were full of doubts about the music box, the "Emperor" still embarked on their journey.

The purpose this time is that the island is along the edge of the inland sea. The high priest said that the Tidal Church is located deep in that seabed, but the road does not look smooth.

The traces of the battle are all over the island. They found a large number of corpses of the Tide Cultists on this barren land. Turned into almost a mass of paste.

The existence of such weapons was not recorded in the operating system of "Emperor", and he suspected that it was caused by laser weapons that he had never seen before.

It is not difficult to see that the mechanized troops have gained control of the land, and the bells and whistles of the priests of the Church of Tides cannot stop their progress at all.

Immediately afterwards, unexpected difficulties stood in front of them.

The mechanical troop marched much faster than they imagined. When they reached the inland sea area, they found that they had already established a defense line in the coastal area. Apart from the fully armed mechanized troop, there were many who hadn't even seen the "Emperor" past war fortress.

They completely blocked the passage of the Church of Tides to reach the land. It is not difficult to see from the buildings located in the ocean that they are trying to dive into the bottom of the water.

"...wait a minute, aren't you with them?"

Paladin asked nervously.

The corpses along the way cast a shadow on these mechanical creations in his heart. He thought that the "Emperor" would come forward to negotiate, but since he approached the sea, the latter has been hiding from the patrol team outside.

"I never said I was with them."

The Emperor said, "I'm guessing they're all equipped with radios and probably anti-cloaking force fields."

"What are these for? I'm not very good at mechanics."

"You just need to know that once a patrol team finds us, within ten seconds the entire coastal fort's mechanical troops will know we're coming."

If the efficiency of mechanical communication is considered, this time may be shorter.

Obviously, this mechanical troop neither wanted the people from the Church of Tides to come out, nor wanted others to cross them and enter the inner sea of ​​the Misty Islands.

"you sure?"

Paladin's face was pale, and he couldn't help asking.

"of course."

The "Emperor" looked back at Paladin strangely. He was thinking about how to escape the search of these patrols and pass through their stations to reach the inner sea.

Facts also proved his judgment.

About ten seconds later, the surrounding patrolling troops looked at them almost at the same time, and the station in the distance immediately flashed a red light for warning.

The sirens of the base rang throughout the coast, and the mechanical creation approached them menacingly.

Paladin finally gave up his last fluke and raised his arm.

At first he thought that it was only mosquitoes on the island that bit him, but when he took a closer look, the appearance of the insect made his heart rise in his throat, "...this, shouldn't it be an ordinary insect?"

This thumb-sized mechanical creation did have the appearance of an insect, but after piercing its sharp mouthparts into Paladin's skin, its body shone red like a distant alarm bell.

"This is their signaling device."

While speaking, the mechanical troops surrounded the three of them heavily.

An encounter here is the worst option, and the deserted island makes it difficult for them to find cover.

The strange thing is that these patrolling troops just raised their weapons and surrounded them, they didn't shoot at them immediately, they just stood there quietly, as if they were waiting for something.

About 5 minutes later, a flying object similar to a hovering vehicle stopped in the open space in front of the three of them, and a figure that looked almost identical to other mechanical creations walked towards the three of them.

Its mechanical prosthetic eyes looked at the "Emperor" curiously, and suddenly said after a while, "Hey, isn't this the little pet of RT6? What are you doing here?"
