Caspar City.
Although he was revisiting an old place, Wu Ming found that this place was so strange that he almost couldn't recognize it.
In the center of the city, a large wall had been built using the ruins. It was on average ten meters high, and the reinforced concrete structure and thickness gave off a reassuring feeling.
There were several drawbridge doors in front of the camp and on both sides. The main door was now closed, but the side doors on both sides were open, allowing adventurers to enter and exit.
For a modern city, walls were meaningless, and would even hinder traffic. But it was different now.
The dangerous mutated creatures forced the survivors to put in a lot of effort on their own defense to protect the women and children in the camp.
In the dangerous wilderness, only a tall and sturdy wall could give them a sense of security.
At least, Wu Ming saw Sebas and the other team members let out a long sigh of relief after entering the side door.
"Alright, this is the reward we got this time!"
Sebas fairly divided the meat and kudzu roots into several portions, and each team member got a small bag. "Evan, this is yours!"
He finally handed the bag to Evan, and solemnly reminded him, "Evan, you shouldn't waste your time in the team now that you've become a Saint Samurai. You should go to the Church of Salvation. As long as you show them what you can do, they will definitely accept you!"
"I know, Uncle Sebas!"
Evan wiped his eyes and replied with a sobbing tone.
"Oh, look at me, you can just ask Mr. Steven next to you about these things …"
Sebas smiled, and looked at Wu Ming with a questioning gaze.
"Actually … I rarely come to the church anymore!"
Wu Ming said honestly. "I don't know what changes have happened to the church now."
"Could it be that Mr. Steven was a believer of the church before the apocalypse, and he was a believer of the Church of Salvation in another city?"
Sebas felt that he had grasped a key point, and his eyes lit up.
Wu Ming smiled and did not say anything in response to his speculation. Such a gesture was immediately taken as a tacit agreement by Sebas.
"Evan, are you going to the church? Great, I'm going there too! "
Wu Ming looked at the center of the city, where the majestic temple was located. His eyes were filled with mockery.
"Yes, but before that, I have to make a trip home!"
Even though he had become a Saint Samurai, Evan's mentality hadn't changed. "I have to give the meat to my family first."
"It's not that far anyway. Let's go together!"
Wu Ming said nonchalantly. Sebas was also happy to see Evan being related to Pastor Steven.
After all, with Elven's current Saint Samurai level, he would be at the bottom even if he joined the church. However, if he could rely on a powerful priest, his future development would be completely different.
Evan's family was located at the edge of the wall. They were at the bottom of the camp.
If there were any Mutant Beasts attacking the camp, it would definitely be the most dangerous place.
"But … in a world like this, is there any place that is absolutely safe?"
Wu Ming glanced at the sky. Under the purple sunlight, there were a few black dots floating in the clouds. With his eyesight, of course, he could see that those black dots were vultures with red necks. They had mutated and had sarcomas on their foreheads. They were looking at the entire camp below with greedy eyes.
"Those are Man-Eating Vultures. They like to hide in the sky and attack humans when they find an opportunity."
Evan seemed to see the doubt in Wu Ming's eyes. He explained in a calm voice, "To deal with them, besides clergymen and Mutants, we need heavy firepower. Unfortunately, with the standard of our camp, those things are all sealed in the storeroom. We rarely take them out to hunt wild beasts."
Just then, Wu Ming saw that the vultures in the sky seemed to have found a target and suddenly swooped down.
Whoosh!
Like an arrow, it pierced straight into the ground. Then, it suddenly spread its wings and grabbed a piece of meat with its claws and flew high up.
"This kind of scavengers is quite detestable. They eat almost everything. Fortunately, it only snatched a piece of pig meat this time …"
Evan heaved a deep sigh as he watched the scene unfold before him.
The distance was too far, and he was just a newly promoted Saint Samurai. There was nothing he could do about it.
"My house is just around the corner!"
Passing another street, Evan seemed a little excited. "I wonder what missions I'll be sent to after entering the church …"
"After becoming a Saint Samurai, I might be able to see Chief Robin every day …"
…
The fantasies and expectations of these youths were soon shattered by a few screams.
"Isn't that Evan?"
A middle-aged woman said in surprise, "Why are you still here? Don't you know that something happened to your house?"
"My house? Something happened? "
Evan's expression froze. He quickly ran home, and immediately saw a scene that made his eyes almost pop out of his sockets.
The door of a simple shack was wide open. A group of people in leather armor with holy emblems on their chests were wantonly smashing everything in sight.
Even the Dorin couple was being watched by the thugs. Next to them were two kids who were so scared that they could only cry.
"Isn't this the Dorin family? What happened?"
"I heard that they met with misfortune. The kids in that family offended Lord Durward. This lord is the relative of a high-ranking member of the church …"
"That's too much!"
…
Evan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the low murmurs around him.
After Pope Jay's reforms, the Church of Salvation had become different from before.
Although the priests and high-ranking clergymen had to abide by certain doctrines due to the restrictions of faith and divine spells, or they would lose the grace of God, their families did not have so many restrictions. They used the resources of the church wantonly and formed a group of nobles.
Although everyone was born the same, as long as they formed a group, there would be a hierarchy! This was the case even in this camp of survivors at the end of the world!
"Hey, isn't that Evan?"
"The eldest of the Dorin family, the lad who joined the hunting team?"
Some of the neighbors recognized Evan and stepped aside to let him pass.
Evan took a deep breath and walked into the house. Looking at these strangers who broke in without permission and acting like a tyrant, he suddenly felt that the holy emblems on their chests were so dazzling.
"Evan, why did you come back at this time?"
"Child, let's go!"
The Dorin couple was a middle-aged couple with simple and honest faces. After seeing Evan, their eyes lit up at first, and then immediately became gloomy.
"No, I'm the adult man of the family after all. I must take responsibility."
Evan smiled and shook his head. He came to the chubby Durward and said, "How did my brother and sister offend you, my lord?"
It seemed that Durward saw the spear in Evan's hand and slightly opened his eyes. He said in a strange voice, "These two kids are sinners! They stole the tribute I was going to offer to the God of Salvation! This is a great crime of blasphemy! "
"Blasphemy?!"
Evan suddenly gasped. He knew that in the camp of the Church of Salvation, once you were accused of this crime, death was the easiest outcome.
It was said that Pope Jay had specially built an Inquisition to deal with those heretics who disrespected God.
"No!"
At this time, the crying little girl finally cried out, "My brother only dirtied his clothes and this fatty arrogantly asked us for compensation. When he got home, he became very fierce … …"
"So that's how it is!"
Evan couldn't help but clench his fists angrily, "Durward, aren't you afraid of being punished by the God of Salvation?"
"Punished?"
The corner of Durward's mouth curled up as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Do you know who I am? The director of the Inquisition, Gandalf, is my brother! Who can judge me? "
"Now, you only have two choices. Either you meet all my demands, or you collectively bear the crime of blasphemy and go to the Inquisition!"
"Inquisition?!"
Upon hearing the name of this infamous place, even the onlookers felt their hair stand on end, and their bodies trembled.
"No, for the sake of the God of Salvation, you can't do this!"
Dolin and his wife begged, but the fat man impatiently slapped them. "Get lost, you lowly commoners. How could the glory of the gods be spread on your heads?"
He glanced at Evan proudly and saw that the kid was trembling all over, as if he had been scared stiff.
"It's not like that!"
However, when he got closer, he found that Evan was still muttering something.
"In my impression, the Church of Salvation should not become a gathering place for trash, scum, and maggots!"
Evan raised his head, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"Scum? Trash? "
Durward's greasy face suddenly flashed with hatred: "It seems that my previous actions were too kind. I've decided, tonight you will be burned at the stake! Arrest him for me! "
With a wave of his hand, several burly men immediately surrounded him.
"The one who should be burned at the stake is you!"
Evan yelled, "Holy Armor!"
A layer of golden light suddenly appeared on his body, so dense that it seemed to form a layer of close-fitting armor.
A series of screams sounded, and the thugs who were about to attack Evan were knocked to the ground by him, rolling on the ground.
"This is …"
Durward's pupils shrank slightly: "A Saint Samurai?!"
"That's right! I've received the grace of God and the favor of the God of Salvation. How dare you slander me and the honor of a Saint Samurai? "
Although Evan was furious, he did not lose his mind.
He stepped forward and looked at the suddenly pale fatty, his heart filled with a kind of revenge: "I will punish you on behalf of God!"
"Stop!"
There seemed to be a voice coming from afar.
However, Evan didn't care. He punched out. Bam!
