"Hey, bro, don't you feel that everyone is looking at us strangely recently?"
Tim is a Knight Captain of the Holy Church's branch stationed in Sulfur Mountain City. Even in this underground city filled with 'evil' residents, he still maintains the good habit of patrolling regularly, even though they aren't in charge of the city's security.
It must be said that no matter how corrupt the upper echelons of the Holy Church are, those Holy Knight and Priests who diligently follow the teachings of the Holy Light, helping the weak and getting rid of 'evil' are the main reason why the people of the world acknowledge the teachings of the Holy Light, and also the reason why the Holy Church's sphere of influence can reach most of the human kingdoms.
On the surface, the Holy Knight is very used to such daily patrolling, helping the citizens, and if they meet with villains, they will pull out their swords to get rid of them. Of course, it is all free …
However, in this unique city, Tim and his colleagues' daily patrolling caused quite a bit of trouble at the start, so they weren't welcomed.
But even though the results weren't good, Tim himself felt rather proud of himself. After all, if his recent experiences were to be made known to others, it would definitely become an epic story in the tavern.
For example, they ambushed a Dark Elf swindler who was scamming an old lady (Actually, the Town Security was sending the old lady home), attacked the Undead's strange sacrificial ceremony (The famous Skeleton Dance Troupe's performance), destroyed the Evil Lich's gigantic Bone Spirit Tower (The theme park Ferris Wheel, which I spent a lot of effort to build. Of course, after the incident, I sent a hefty fine to old Bill. I heard that this bunch of idiots are still cleaning the toilets of the troupe every day as punishment).
They even saved an innocent girl who was being turned into a stone statue by a Medusa (That pitiful Medusa sculptor was so frightened that he repeatedly emphasized in his report that he was kidnapped by a bunch of lunatics who shouted about the Holy Light and forced him to turn a stone statue into a human). For example, they challenged and chased away an Ancient Red Dragon that was attacking the children. Holy Light shone again, he actually intended to swallow the children alive …
That day, Little Red was just habitually overflowing with motherly instincts. She was playing a game of "Brave Ones Against Evil Dragons" with the children in the park, but there were a bunch of "older children" who didn't know better and wanted to join in … Fortunately, Little Red was in a good mood that day, so Old Bill was able to dig out the tin cans with only their heads exposed from the sand in the park instead of directly holding a funeral ceremony …
Of course, they also paid the price. After all, the parents who were angry because their children were frightened were not easy to deal with, especially when their heads were stuck outside the battlefield. After experiencing the "attack" like a raging wave, it took them many days to wash off the rotten egg and tomato smell on their heads.
When they finally realized that they were not in a human country on the surface, and realized that the environment they were in was extremely special, and that their actions were not to eliminate evil but to create panic and chaos, well, most importantly, in the face of the hefty fines and detention notices, they finally learned to be more obedient.
At the very least, they knew that this city had laws that belonged to the Order Faction. They knew that this city didn't need them to fight against evil. At the very least, they wouldn't shout "Holy Light, that evil is worth fighting" at the sight of a Chaos Race and launch a pointless charge …
Yep, Tim had already remembered it. In this city, this wasn't called fighting against evil, but "intentionally injuring others", which was punishable by imprisonment. The most ridiculous thing was that this city actually forbade the duel that the nobles worshipped, which was filled with the spirit of a Knight. They called it "intentional murder", which was a felony punishable by a heavy sentence.
Of course, there were idiots and fanatics who didn't learn to be obedient everywhere. At this moment, under the protests of Sulfur Mountain City, they were chased back to the surface with an order.
Tim could be considered one of them. After making a few mistakes, he had at least developed the habit of observing carefully before making a move. He also gradually got used to the daily routine of being "minions of Chaos" roaming the streets.
In fact, when he found out that the Dark Elf Town Security Knight Order also believed in the Holy Light, he even had the intention of courting a wife of another race. After all, the teachings of the Holy Light didn't stipulate that your wife must be a human. Even the few beautiful female priests of the Church had at least a few hundred flies flying around them. He knew that he didn't have much hope.
But very quickly, he gave up. He thought that even though the female Dark Elves believed in the Holy Light, they still retained a certain traditional Dark Elf viewpoint. For example, the Dark Elves were a typical female society. In their traditional family, the word "husband" probably had the same meaning as "slave" …
However, the strangest thing was that after knowing about this, a few of his colleagues who usually didn't care about ordinary women and focused on their careers tried even harder to woo the female Elves. Especially the female Elf Momo who liked to use a whip, she was the most popular …
Alright, Tim, who had vaguely guessed something, also took the initiative to distance himself from his colleagues who were getting weirder and weirder.
But after the chaos, he felt that the situation had changed once again. In the past, the citizens would look at him with wariness and wariness, but they could still forcefully maintain a friendly attitude. But recently, the wariness in their eyes had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with sympathy and that weird way of addressing him.
"Remaining Knight!? It's fine if that Beastman auntie who obviously doesn't know how to pronounce a few words wrongly, but why is it that even the owner of the florist shop and the waiter of the restaurant are called wrongly? Recently, I keep getting discounts and benefits for my meals. When I walk in the alleys, there is always someone shouting 'Don't give up, tomorrow will be better' behind me. "
"Hmph, it's just a few times of being called 'Remaining Knight', what's the big deal? We are originally the 'Remaining Knight', what's wrong with this way of addressing us? "
Lucas was from the same batch as Tim. In the past, he was a warm-hearted person, always helping others to fix water pipes and deliver water. He had the nickname of 'Good Man Lucas', but since the day before yesterday, he had been putting ice cubes in the dormitory with a cool face. It was really weird. Tim pulled him out to patrol because he guessed that he had encountered something troubling and wanted to help him relax.
But on the way, no matter what he said, he remained silent, staring blankly at the withered Purple Lily. Now that he had spoken, it was a good thing!
"Lucas, what exactly did you encounter? These two days have been so weird, everyone is worried about you."
The concern of his comrades warmed Lucas' frozen heart. After a moment of silence, he looked up to the sky and sighed, telling them what he had encountered the day before yesterday.
"The day before yesterday, there was a girl who wanted to marry me."
"Wah wah. That's not a good thing!! Then why are you still so unhappy? "
But very quickly, the tragic experiences of his comrades flashed past his mind, and many tragic possibilities were at the tip of his tongue …
But looking at the hesitant Tim, Lucas could guess what the other party was thinking and shook his head.
"The other party wasn't a demon or a fallen angel who wanted to lead me to fall. My ranking in the team was neither high nor low, so it wasn't enough for me to receive such a high treatment."
"Then?"
"I wasn't as unlucky as Finkle and Wen Lan. The one I met wasn't a 40-year-old Beastman auntie, nor was it a cute boy. She was very cute. She had an oval face, an innocent and cute smile, and white jade-like skin. She was always bouncing when she walked. She gave off a feeling of vitality and was very cute."
"Then why you?" Since the conditions were so good, why was Lucas still so sad? Tim was a little confused.
Speaking to this point, Lucas's face was filled with a nostalgic smile as he said softly.
"She took this flower and passed it to me, saying, Brother Knight, don't be sad, Xiao Xin will be your wife. That smile was as warm as the sun, that sweet voice was as tempting as honey, but …"
In an instant, the sunny weather turned to rain, and Lucas's face was filled with tears.
"… She's only nine years old, nine years old!! She's so young, it's not like I'm a beast!! "
Seeming to have discovered the problem, Tim patted Lucas sympathetically. Just as he was about to say something, a smile appeared on Lucas's face.
"However, she said that she will marry me when she grows up. Haha, she also said that when she grows up, even if I'm the Remaining Knight mentioned in the flyer, I should have saved enough money to buy a house and a mount."
In an instant, Tim didn't know what to say. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence from the gaps of his teeth.
"Then … Then congratulations."
"Wuwuwu!!" But seeing that Lucas still had a trace of pride, he only knew how to lower his head and cry bitterly while hugging the withered purple lily.
"Lucas, don't cry. So what if you have to wait for 10 years? Look at me, I'm almost 35 years old, but I'm still an old stick. Even after 10 years, you'll only be 37, right? You're much better than the brothers in the team."
"Wuwuwu, no … No, not 10 years!!"
"Hmm? Even if it's a few more years, it's fine. We, the Remaining Knight, can afford to wait!! " At this point, Tim also knew what the Remaining Knight meant and what was with the strange gazes and sympathy he received recently.
But hearing his consolation, Lucas only became even sadder and cried loudly.
"I … I can't afford to wait! Wuwuwuwu!! Not 10 years, it's … it's 200 years!! She's an Elf, she still needs 200 years to reach adulthood!! That is to say, she thinks that I need 200 years to buy a house!! 200 years, by the time she reaches adulthood, I'll already be ashes! "
Hearing this, other than hugging this brother of his who had a rare chance with the ladies but was hurt even more, what else could Tim do …
"Why don't we try Nanxiang as well? Based on what I know, quite a few city's public security officers have private housing."
…
Nanxiang's recruitment went unbelievably smoothly. Within three days, they managed to poach a third of the Church's members in Sulfur Mountain City, and more people continued to apply …
Chrome City's judicial system was also in the midst of construction. Two months later, when the first batch of Nanxiang's short-term training graduates graduate, Chrome City's new administrative and judicial system would be put to use.
Then, very quickly, the remnant page of the Codex that was sent to Chrome City would be put to use, collecting the city's faith in law and justice, bestowing the judicial personnel with the Power of Law, providing them with military support to enforce the law. When all of this enters a virtuous cycle, the recovery of the God Equipment Codex will be even faster.
After this city is assimilated into the system of law, the citizens will acknowledge and believe in law, and the Power of Law in the entire world will gradually grow stronger, bestowing even greater power. Perhaps, the first Holy Light was also spread in this manner.
When the faith in law spreads, perhaps, the people's view of other races won't be limited to the Chaos or Order represented by their race. At the very least, this second view would be the start of reconciliation.
"Since it is impossible to completely wipe out a faction, then, let's try to sow the seeds of reconciliation and communication. Now, in Sulfur Mountain City, even the Holy Knight has learned to judge based on the other party's crimes and not their race. At the very least, there is a possibility of success. "
However, at this moment, I am unable to look so far ahead. I am only vexed by the daily quests in front of me.
Currently, I have accumulated 49888 Evil Points and the day of revival isn't too far away. However, the few daily quests that have been refreshed recently, such as' Kill a hundred humans', 'Destroy a few Beastman families', 'Leave none alive', etc. They aren't easy to warp and instead, a few Evil Points were deducted. If this continues, how can I revive?
"Daily Quest, create a huge nude streak. The more people participate, the more spectators, and the more screams and exclamations it causes, the higher the reward!"
I fell into deep thought. Due to the fact that the recent daily quests were too cruel, they were abandoned. Thus, this mischievous quest became a timely rain for me.
"Lord, perhaps, we need the help of others."
After knowing my quest, Eliza said.
I nodded my head, then, I released my bat messenger …
"Old Cow, I heard that you have been doing well recently. I, Lich Roland, have a matter that I need your help with. I heard that your relationship with the Wild Druil Alliance isn't bad, it's like this …"
