Chapter 364: Self-deception Chen Daolin lay there quietly, the original injuries on his body had healed, and it was obvious that the effect of the pure light system holy power was not only shown on the bodies of Montoya and Ade.
Looking at the surrounding woods, which had been ravaged to the point of disappearance, Ade sighed and reminded Montoya in a low voice: "My lord, do you see if we should get out of here quickly" "How to go" Montoya frowned, glanced at the unconscious Chen Daolin, and said in a deep voice: "My lord's appearance now, how do you know if you can move it If we move the adult without permission and let him suffer any internal injuries?"
Ade opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Montoya had already said in a deep voice: "You go and see the dragon staring at it, if there is any abnormal movement" "That dragon must be fine."
Ade's whole body suddenly trembled, remembering the scene where Fang Cai Chen Daolin brutally crushed and abused the giant dragon, and immediately shook his head and said, "Lord Fang Cai has shown his might, you and I have seen it." ” "Where did you come from so much nonsense" Montoya suddenly glared at Ade fiercely, and for the first time there was real anger in the eyes of the Holy Knight, and he warned in a deep voice: "Ade left the church with the adults this time, and you were full of stomach along the way, I don't know where you came from, so much nonsense asked you to do one thing, you are not happy on the left and disagree with Ade on the right, I endured you all the way and didn't say anything, but today, there are some things I have to say to you, you listen, I only warn you once, and I will never say it a second time, and if you don't listen to it again, then I won't talk nonsense with you again in the future, and I will directly break your legs, and send someone back to see His Majesty the Pope."
Ade shrunk his neck.
Montoya had already stared at the young priest and said coldly: "I know that you yourself can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation in the church, you can be regarded as a scholar and martial artist, and you were accepted by His Majesty the Pope very early.
His Majesty the Pope also has a lot of expectations for you.
This time, His Majesty the Pope has sent you to follow Lord Darling, so that you can do whatever he tells you to do all the way.
Although you seem to be giggling, but in fact you are arrogant, along the way to Darling told you to do a lot of dissatisfaction, you think you are the pride of the church in the sky, even those archbishops are polite to you, he Darling Chen is just a troubled magician, but you are called back and forth, like a slave, you can't swallow this breath in your heart, so I don't know how I don't know these strange words" Being stared at by the Holy Knight with sword-like eyes, Ade couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Montoya continued slowly: "I don't know if His Majesty the Pope had any special instructions for you before leaving, but I only know that His Majesty's order is for us to obey Lord Darling's orders along the way, and any orders to him must be carried out to the letter, even if he asks us to do something difficult, it is equivalent to the Pope's will to do his orders, I think, when His Majesty the Pope said these words to us, you didn't fall asleep."
Ade's face flushed a little, and his lips opened, but he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I think you should understand what I mean, I just hope that you can do things honestly in the future, don't keep thinking about your shelves in the church, in the temple, those people flatter you, and be polite to you.
But now that he has come out to do things, he must have the appearance of doing things.
His Majesty the Pope has entrusted us with such solemn entrustment of this matter, which is a sign of trust in you and me.
And this matter is even more related to the important responsibility of the church, if you continue to play around like this."
Speaking of this, Montoya's tone became calm: "Even if I care about the feelings of my fellow colleagues in the temple, if you break Your Majesty's entrustment and your important responsibility, I will not hesitate to punish you When the time comes, you are the sinner of the temple, even if I kill you, I believe Your Majesty will not accuse me of half a sentence."
"I" Ade's face flushed, as if he wanted to defend himself, but Montoya had already shaken his head: "I'm just a martial artist, if I compare the ability of my tongue, I am far inferior to you."
So you don't have to argue with me.
Don't think that I don't know that Lord Fang Cai was targeted by that dragon, I risked my life to stop what you were doing at that time, hum, don't say that you were pressed by some tree trunk and couldn't move His Majesty, if you were pressed by a tree trunk, you couldn't move, then you might as well wipe your neck directly so as not to embarrass the temple, and His Majesty the Pope's order is to let us protect him at all costs, your approach is already a serious violation of Your Majesty's will."
"I" Ade finally couldn't help but say: "Lord Montoya, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, if it is really necessary, I will never spare my own life" "What is the time of necessity" Montoya's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty's words are to protect Lord Darling's surname at any cost, isn't it necessary at that time, I believe that you are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are simply brain-broken, you don't like this mission, you look down on Darling even more in your heart, you think he is a heretic, Your Majesty the Pope, the noble temple of the young generation of key cultivation talents, why should you be drunk by Darling Chen along the way, Why do you want to work hard for this Darling Chen, that's what you think, think I don't know?"
Montoya suddenly stretched out his big hand, grabbed the collar of Ade's clothes, and said fiercely: "You listen to what is called when it is necessary, it's not up to you to decide, do you think that your wisdom is higher than His Majesty the Pope, since His Majesty the Pope said that he will protect him at any cost, you must carry out your little cleverness to the letter, think carefully, if you don't put it away as soon as possible, then you'd better go back now, go back to His Majesty the Pope, and ask for guilt, but I promise, if you run back like this, The Pope will immediately throw you into the Inquisition and punish you severely."
Ade was grabbed by the Holy Knight's neck, and he couldn't breathe well, and at this moment, he was really scared in his heart, because he actually saw a trace of genuine murderous aura in the eyes of the Holy Knight Montoya has already narrowed his eyes: "This time I will spare you first, I will give you the opportunity to choose, now you can get out of the house immediately, but if you choose to continue to stay and stay by Lord Darlingchen's side, then there will be next time, when you encounter danger, you dare to pretend to be stupid and hide aside, then as long as I don't die, I will regard this act as a betrayal of the temple, I will definitely kill you with my own hands, clean up the portal, I better believe my words, I say it, I will definitely do it" After saying that, Montoya let go, threw Ade on the ground, and shouted: "Now go over and see if the dragon has half a word of nonsense, and I will break your legs."
Ade ran away, warned by Montoya, at least for now, all the caution and scratches in his heart were contained, and obediently ran to check on the dragon.
And here in Montoya, because of Chen Daolin's unconscious, Montoya is not sure whether Chen Daolin was seriously injured because of what happened just now, or if he was left with sequelae after the battle.
He didn't dare to move Chen Daolin without permission, so he had to let him lie on the ground, and then ran to the surrounding ruins, retrieved an unbroken water bag, tore off a piece of his shirt, dipped it in water, and carefully wiped Chen Daolin's forehead.
He touched it, Chen Daolin's forehead was a little hot, and he pried open Chen Daolin's mouth and fed him a little water.
Although Montoya was a little worried in his heart, Chen Daolin's breathing was steady and his pulse was normal, so he was not too anxious for a while.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Ade's ghost shouting in the distance.
"What's the noise again?"
Montoya turned her head in annoyance, but her eyes widened in surprise The giant dragon, which was originally lying in the distance, suddenly transformed into a ball of light all over its body, and then in that light, its huge body quickly shrunk In just a few breaths, it had shrunk to the size of a normal person, and then in the light, it gradually re-transformed into a human form.
Ade had already scrambled to the side, staring wide-eyed at all the changes.
When the light dissipated, I saw that the dragon had disappeared, and only the boy named Mung Bean Cake was lying there naked, with his eyes closed and unconscious.
The only difference is that there is a large blur of flesh and blood between the ribs and the waist and abdomen.
Montoya had already run over and pulled Ade up, and the two stared at the boy on the ground for a while, making sure that nothing new had changed.
Montoya walked over to check the boy's body, and after a moment, he turned to Ade and said, "He's back to his human form."
"I" Ade couldn't laugh and laughed, and thought about it carefully: "My lord, I'm still a little confused before he transformed into a dragon, is it a transfiguration?"
"Transfiguration should be right."
Montoya's face was gloomy: "The key question is, what is he or not, is he a human being, Transfiguration turned into a dragon or is he originally a dragon who usually becomes a human walking in our world" Ade thought about it, he couldn't think of this question clearly, and a complicated expression appeared on his face: "Anyway, this guy is too dangerous, if it weren't for it, maybe we would all be finished, God knows if he wakes up again, will he be crazy and want to kill."
I don't think it's better to take advantage of now."
As he spoke, Ade raised his palm and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Montoya frowned, he hesitated, but shook his head resolutely: "No, he is a saint-level master, no matter what, there was no hostility towards us before, as for the loss of his original surname after the transformation just now, it may be understood as the loss of his original surname after the transformation."
Moreover, his origin is too complicated, he rashly kills people, forms a great enmity, and has endless troubles. ” The last sentence is the point that Montoya wants to say: "No matter what, this kind of important matter, it is not your turn and I will decide that it is better to wait for Lord Darling to wake up." ” The Holy Knight still didn't forget to warn Ade again: "You'd better remember that since you've come out, your identity is Lord Darling's subordinates, don't think about your identity in the temple anymore, since you follow Lord Darling, then everything will be decided by him in the future, you just need to follow the execution, understand?"
Ade's face was a little dazed, but he just snorted and nodded.
The mung bean cake was quickly carried over and placed next to Chen Daolin, and the two lay side by side.
Montoya also cleaned the wound of the mung bean cake.

However, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, he didn't let Ade use healing techniques to treat the injuries on Mung Bean Cake anyway.
The two of them started together, first collecting some supplies from the ruins of the surrounding woods.
And Ade ran even farther away, leading the horses that were left in the distance when the three people came to sneak attack before.
The horses had food and water on them, as well as some simple medicines.
Montoya lit a bonfire, boiled a pot of water, threw a few pieces of jerky into it, and after cooking a pot of broth, he fed Chen Daolin a few mouthfuls with his own hands, and then filled his stomach with Ade.
I just rested in place until it was getting dark.
Probably because of last night's warning, the atmosphere between Montoya and Ade was a little tense and cold.
Montoya kept a straight face, and Ade just didn't dare to say much.
But the young pastor knew that he had made a mistake, but he became more and more diligent, and took the initiative to run to feed the horses and collect firewood.
After a night's rest, Montoya's face gradually relaxed a little, and Ade also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After all, although he is a little cautious, he at least knows the severity.
His Majesty the Pope solemnly entrusted himself with such a task at that time, if he was really driven back, His Majesty would not care about any master-apprentice relationship, and would definitely throw himself into the inquisition and give him a hard lesson, and if he was driven back in such a gloomy manner, then His Majesty the Pope would be extremely disappointed in himself, and he would never expect any future in the temple in the future.
For the sake of today, it is better to ease the relationship with Montoya, and Ade muttered secretly in his heart.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Montoya saw that Chen Daolin had not changed abnormally for so long, but his breathing became more and more calm, his heart was slightly relaxed, and his face was slightly better.
Ade saw the opportunity, slowly leaned over, while quietly observing Montoya's expression, before whispering tentatively: "That adult, you said, last night, he uh, I mean Lord Darling, he actually wore that set of legends, what is going on", after a pause, Ade's expression was a little mysterious: "This missing moon five-light armor, but it is a legendary thing."
But that one had all the things, and that one wore this artifact back then, and when he was fighting with the orcs in the north, he had seen it with countless pairs of eyes.
Look at this Lord Darling, what does it have to do with the Tulip family?"
Montoya snorted, in fact, this night, the Holy Knight was also turning this thought in his heart, so that people could not think about this night, Montoya almost had a headache when he thought about it.
Listening to Ade's words, Montoya's face showed a trace of displeasure, and he said coldly: "What are you talking about, do you have to have this Missing Moon Five Light Armor, you must have something to do with the Tulip family, you must have something to do with that Du Wei?"
"Ugh" "Hmph, this missing moon five-light armor Du Wei is not its first owner, Du Wei suddenly had such a thing back then, no one knows where he got it, and after Du Wei, this artifact did not stay in the Tulip family at all, you see, there are several generations of Tulip Dukes, I have not seen them take out this artifact, I remember that the second generation of Tulip Dukes and the third generation of Dukes have all gone on an expedition, once a small friction with the orcs on the border, and another time was a rebellion between two tribes in the northwest grassland.
But even generations of Tulip Dukes have never seen them wear this artifact again, so you can imagine that this thing did not stay in the Tulip family."
"You have a point."
Ade nodded: "If this artifact was left by Du Wei in the Tulip Family, it would not appear on Darling Chen's body, even if he has any friendship with the Tulip Family, the Tulip Family will not take out such an artifact casually and give it to others, and it will never be possible to borrow it."
Who in this world would lend an artifact to anyone casually. ” "I think that we, Lord Darling, should have nothing to do with the Tulip family" Montoya suddenly said categorically: "Maybe he is also a chosen one" "Oh" Ade's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's what you think, I mean, you think so too" The young priest looked at Montoya's expression as if he was a little weak-hearted, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "But the statement of this chosen one has always been a taboo in the temple." ” "Hmph, since it's a fact, what's there to taboo.
If you're blindfolded, doesn't the truth cease to exist?
Montoya sneered a few times, and said slowly: "Our temple has been suppressed by the Tulip family and the royal family for more than a hundred years, and it is always with a conservative and cowardly mind, so that we don't even have the courage to face the facts, how can we achieve great things if we blindly escape."
"Haha" Ade suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, looking at Montoya, his tone was a little sincere: "Lord Montoya, I said something to offend you, I have always felt that you are some brainless guys like those other people of the Holy Knights, but what you said just now is too much to my liking."
The so-called "chosen one" has actually spread in the Roland Empire in the last hundred years.
And this "chosen one" statement mainly comes from: the first Duke Tulip, the legendary hero of the empire, Du Wei.
The first Duke of Tulip has deduced countless legendary deeds in his life, leaving one great achievement after another in the Roland Empire, and his personal strength has been mythologized to the point of worship.
However, the greater Du Wei became, the more embarrassing his position became as the Temple of Light.
Why Because Du Wei, the hero of the empire, turned the tide at the life-and-death juncture when mankind encountered an alien invasion, led mankind to reorganize the rivers and mountains, and finally achieved a great victory, reviving the Roland Empire, and becoming a legendary figure of a generation.
This kind of person naturally wants to be featured in the history books.
In particular, he led the human race, resisted the invasion of orcs, elves and other alien races, and can be described as a hero who saved the human race But such a great deed has nothing to do with the Temple of Light That's where it all comes in.
What is the Temple of Light That is the only legal religion of mankind, and the state religion of the Roland Empire is the Goddess of Light, the only god who is legally recognized, and the spokesperson of the world So according to the legal system, when human beings encounter alien invasions, the heroes who come to save human beings at the moment of life and death should be, and can only be, heroes sent by the goddess of light That's legal, that's reasonable The entire human race has always worshiped the goddess of light, and has always regarded the temple of light as the only faith.
But at the critical moment of the greatest crisis, it was a heretic who led mankind to resist danger and victory, and it was a heretic who had nothing to do with the Temple of Light, which made the Temple speechless If according to the "normal" trajectory, the hero who appeared to save mankind should be an outstanding talent selected by the goddess, with the blessing of the goddess and the heavy responsibility given, come to the world, save all people from fire and water, and by the way, promote the glory of the goddess, this is a reasonable script.
In this way, the temple can later hype up that this legendary hero who saved mankind is the "chosen by the goddess" of destiny But this Du Wei is a heretic.
Well, it's not a complete heretic.
At that time, the original Duke of Tulip once served as the archbishop of the diocese of his own territory, but this was just a title, and everyone knew that it was only an exchange of political cooperation.
And this Tulip Duke, both in private and in public, has never hidden his disdain and hostility towards the Temple of Light Even many official records record in black and white that this legendary hero of the empire has many extremely disrespectful words towards the goddess of light.
He called the Pope and other clergy of the Temple of Light "crooks."
He even personally participated in the first jousting tournament, and killed a knight chief of the Holy Knights with his own hands in full view of everyone in the jousting arena, and in this way openly issued an undisguised provocation to the then Pope who was watching the battle Therefore, everyone knows that the first Duke of Tulip is a complete heretic, a complete "anti-light templeman".
But such a person saved the fate of mankind, which makes the church how to deal with itself Then everyone will think: we have worshiped the goddess for thousands of years, but when we are in danger, the goddess didn't even let out a fart, or a pagan led us to save our fate, then we still continue to believe in this goddess, there is a fart In many legends, Du Wei naturally cannot be called "the chosen person of the goddess", but because people do not know what religion the original Tulip Duke believes, he will be depicted with a special title: The Chosen One.
As the name suggests: this Duke Tulip is not chosen by the goddess, but by God, to save mankind.
Chosen by God, the concept is very vague.

What kind of existence "Heaven" is, no one can say.
At least, for the Temple of Light, for a long time, it refused to accept this statement Because according to the teachings of the temple, the only god in this world is the "goddess of light", and there is no such vague "heavenly" goddess as the only god in the world who can decide the fate of mankind But gradually, more and more people have accepted this so-called "natural choice".
The chosen one from heaven In recent years, even some of the younger generation in the church, many intelligent and insightful people have gradually accepted this kind of vague concept.
In other words, I feel that this statement also has loopholes that can be exploited.
Anyway, the so-called "heaven" is a vague statement, and no one can tell what this heaven is.
Since it's vague, it's the best According to the doctrinal explanation, everything in heaven and earth is determined by the will of the gods Since the so-called "heaven" operates according to the will of the goddess, then the "choice of heaven" can also be said to be the choice of the goddess in disguise Although it is a strong word, it is good to be able to hook a little Anyway, more than a hundred years have passed, and there are very few people still alive in that era, and now that generation after generation has passed, it is not just how the people in the church arrange and say it If you have to slap your swollen face and become fat, you can put gold on your own face, and no one else can control it anyway.
Moreover, this statement is not unbelieved, at least there are always some fanatical believers who are still willing to accept this self-deceptive statement.
Therefore, in recent years, some younger generations of church members have also emerged to advocate that they are willing to accept this "chosen one" statement.
And Du Wei's deeds can indeed be worthy of the mysterious aura of "Heavenly Choice".
Legend has it that the first Duke of Tulip was a waste who could not learn literature or martial arts in his early years, and was considered to have no talent for learning magic.
But I don't know why, he suddenly rose to prominence, and finally became a recognized hero of mankind, and I don't know how he learned the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and even a large number of saint-level masters gathered under his command, willing for him to send to die for him.
And Du Wei's own strength is even more legendary to be superb, and it is said that whether it is magic or martial arts, he has far reached the realm of no one before or since.
Let's put it this way, it's almost time to describe him as a new god.
Moreover, various artifacts appeared in his hands one by one, and he didn't know how these legendary artifacts came into his hands Isn't it possible to say that everything is God's choice and God's destiny?
"If we say that Du Wei is the last chosen person, he is a person who was destined by God and given a destiny by God.
Then the artifact used by the previous Chosen One was not passed on to his own family, which is also as it should be.
It is the destiny of heaven itself, and the artifact should not be owned by a private person.
So, now that the artifact suddenly appeared in Darling Chen's hands, he is still only a cultivator of the mid-level realm, and he can have the artifact, isn't this the fate of God, then, will he be the next Chosen One?
The orcs were beaten down by us more than a hundred years ago, if there is something great and important to say that the heavens need to let the next person of destiny descend on us, then, the only thing can only be on our temple of light, my temple of light has been declining for more than a hundred years, and the glory of the past is almost gone, and now, the next chosen person is coming to revive the glory of my church, too, it is also very possible."
At the end, Ade's face also showed a hint of fascination.
To be continued.
