You call this the god of etiquette?

Chapter 65
Hearing Yige's words, Aldis seemed to have been insulted like never before, and his tough face was instantly distorted.

He vented his anger to Yige almost word for word:
"I'm not human!"

"Huh?" Although it was expected, Ige was somewhat shocked when he really heard Aldis say that he was not human.

Aldis's words are not over yet:

"I'm not a despicable priest like you either!"

"I made mistakes before and became a priest of 'Shepherd' just like you."

"But now, I have completely corrected my past self." As he spoke, his face finally became normal, revealing piety and focus, "I am a real pastor."

"Son of the earth."

"It's part of nature."

"Only not a poison like 'people'."

Iger is sure now.

Met a madman.

And judging from what Aldis said when he first met Iger, including that he still calls himself a "child of the earth".

Like a crazy Earth Father pastor.

The priests of the Church of the Earth Father, Yige is familiar with those who often show up in "Tariek".

Among them, Priest Terence and Pastor Walter are the two most familiar.

They are all Earth Father Church clergy who often lead public sermons.

It is unheard of for priests like Aldis who are suspected of betraying the Church of the Father Earth.

But analyze carefully.

Even if such a thing really happened, the Church of the Father Earth must strictly block the news.

An outsider like Yige probably wouldn't be able to get the news that was already half-clawed.

In addition, Yige had never heard of, or even imagined, that there would be betrayed priests in the world.

What believers know is what God knows, and what believers see is what God sees.

The priests of every church must be the most faithful servants of the gods.

Servants of the gods can be cunning, hypocritical, and greedy.

Only it is impossible to be ungodly.

Because for the priests, betraying the gods is tantamount to betraying themselves.

Even if countless accidental superimpositions occurred, some real priests had appalling thoughts.

Yige believes that such dregs who are not as good as animals will be punished by God in an instant, and will eventually be wiped out.

But looking at Aldis' crazy appearance, it seems that there is no need to lie.

And if what he said is true, then at least one of the puzzles in Yige's heart has been basically solved——

He was at his home at 14 Leighton Street when Purpleskin attacked him.

The reason why Zipi was able to directly contact him across the small compartment at the bottom of the wooden cabinet was probably because Aldis temporarily removed the small compartment at the bottom of the cabinet with the magic "wood weaving" taught by Father Earth, or at least a similar magic. Baffles for compartments and upper clothes storage.

He may have hidden the purple skin inside the statue of Zemla in the same way.

Perhaps the "stone shaping" that belongs to the "three creation techniques" was used.

It's just that, having betrayed the God of Fertile Earth, why can Aldis still use magic?

Just use it, how can you control Yige's cabinet remotely?
On the night Yige came home and was attacked by Zipi, he didn't notice any suspicious people in the surrounding streets.

With this in mind, he quickly sorted out the language:

"So, you are no longer the pastor of the Church of the Earth Father, but you are still using the magic of the Church of the Earth Father to help you spread the 'Purple Skin' in the town?"

"'Purple Skin'." Aldis chewed on the name Ige gave, and nodded, "It's really appropriate in terms of color."

After all, he immediately retorted:
"However, I don't need to use the magic arts of false gods to achieve my goals,"

Yige looked as usual:

"So you admit that you've been attacking me and the rest of the town with your purple skin these days?"

"You were really lucky at that time. I spent so much time inquiring about your situation and setting up an ambush, but you actually escaped the fusion of the 'Call of the Moon'."

Aldis didn't mean to hide it, but showed a horrified smile:
"But now, you may not have such good luck."

"You let those civilians slip away while you were chatting with me."

"I used this time to gather all the "Moon Cubs" nearby."

"It's fair, isn't it?"

Yige nodded approvingly:
"It's fair."

This place is already very close to Ligang Street, and dilapidated buildings can be seen everywhere, which provides the black scale monsters with an excellent opportunity to sneak and approach.

Iggy looked around.

In every corner and dark place, the figure of the black scale monster can be seen almost.

Through the cracks on the side and rear wall and the cobwebs covering them, Igor saw several pairs of red eyes.

The corner of the alley is surrounded by several dead fir trees.

A band of black-scaled monsters artfully blended themselves among these trees and vines, camouflaging themselves as part of the darkness.

There is a deserted courtyard to the rear right.

In the overgrown and messy courtyard, the black-scaled monsters hid in the passages piled up with broken stones,
Only by carefully staring at the crevices of the stone pile can we see the terrifying light from the blood-red eyes that are mostly covered.

There is no doubt that Yige is surrounded.

"I'll give you a chance now, Priest Yige." Seeing that the black-robed priest opposite him finally understood his situation, Aldis said with a condescending attitude, "Join us in the 'Circle of Nature', correct Mistakes you've made."

There was a faint sarcasm on Yige's face, and he didn't speak.

I wondered if these black-scaled monsters had run into Mary and her party who had slipped away when they were gathering.

From just now until now, except for the screams of monsters one after another, Yige really didn't hear any human screams.

I can only hope that those fleeing civilians will be smart and don't get caught.

At that time, it would be a waste of his efforts to identify suitable believer candidates for so many days.

The things about the civilians just flashed through Yige's mind.

The most important thing for him right now is to figure out the strength of the enemy Aldis.

Especially the extraordinary wooden stick that Aldis held in his hand.

When Yige and Aldis met last time, he noticed the other party's wooden staff, but he didn't think much about it, only thinking that he was a clergyman with a more sophisticated life.

But now it seems that the role of this wooden stick far exceeds Yige's imagination.

The surface of the stick is full of patterns about the earth, life and cycle.

Each texture is like an ancient and mysterious poem.

The most striking thing is the gemstone inlaid on the top of the wooden staff.

This gem is yellow and white with a clear demarcation line, which is especially eye-catching in this low-light weather.

When Yig stared at the gem, he seemed to see the moon hanging above the earth in the dark night.

The upper part of the gemstone is as white as snow, extremely cold but seems to contain endless vitality.

The lower part is the yellow color of withered leaves, and there is some subtle conflict and harmony with the upper part.

This harmonious and contradictory original beauty conveys the most primitive and deepest essence of nature.

Through this yellow and white gem, Yige seems to be able to feel the majesty of the moonlight and the desolation of the earth at the same time.

It seems that what Aldis has in hand is a holy artifact with good effect.

And compare Yige's previous memory of the appearance of this sacred object.

It can be concluded that this wooden stick is currently activated with its ability, so it looks like a polished jade, which looks otherworldly and refined.

As for what this ability is.
Yige looked around again, and what he saw was Aldis, who looked sure of winning, waiting for his answer, and the black-scaled monsters lurking like a terrifying nightmare.

A simple conclusion was drawn.

This stick at least has the ability to control black scale monsters.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Aldis dared to say that he could "summon" the monsters around him.

It also couldn't explain why those monsters really restrained their actions as if they had received some kind of order, and lay in ambush quietly.

Faced with such a situation, Yige didn't panic at all.

He has seen greater, more convincing power.

That is the power of etiquette.

But today, he will use the power of etiquette to conquer the sacred object that seems to be inextricably linked with the moon and the earth.

At the same time let Aldis, who feels good about himself, understand.

Even if it is heaven and earth.

All are bound by that sacred rectangle.

Act according to the will of the great god of rites!
