Chapter 2632

Kaidan sat in the church of the City of Light, listening to the preaching of the priests there.

"When evil and filth fill the world, demons are rampant, and people are depraved, a hero of light will come to the world, and he will save us from fire and water, as he has always done."

The priestess with long hair and shawl said, clasping her hands and fingers together, she led the crowd to pray to the hero of light.

"Save us, heroes of the light..."

The sound of prayers spread, and among the people who prayed to the statue of the hero of light, there was no lack of mages from Brakada.

The continuous flames of war in Bracada, and the looting of the undead, make the mages feel exhausted, praying like the Erathians, but let them relax, and hand over their worries to a greater being, without having to worry about those pains. trouble.

Kaidan just watched silently. Although he was from Erathia, he had no habit of praying. His years of mercenary career made him not believe in anything other than himself.

After the prayer, the priestess came to Kaidan with a smile on her face, but her eyes seemed to be refusing to be thousands of miles away: "Your Excellency Kaidan, you still refuse to accept the guidance of the hero of light."

"I didn't come for the hero of light." Kaidan pouted, he looked towards the direction where everyone was praying, the huge statue was lifelike, but had no face, "Mage Tazis is very concerned, when will you be able to put them together? Make up the rest of the pay?"

During the time he came to the City of Light, Kaidan and the apprentices in the alchemy workshop worked together to build the huge statue before the agreed delivery date.

However, the church in the city could only provide part of the payment and asked for a grace period. Although Mage Tazis was helpless, he could only accept it. After all, this is not Brakada, and the words of the Mage are far less effective than in the past, so he had to agree to the request.

And Kaidan's task has also become to urge the church to take out the gold coins as soon as possible. Kaidan is no stranger to this kind of debt-requiring work. If it wasn't for the special instructions of Master Tazis, who didn't want the two sides to make trouble, Kaidan would have resorted to more drastic measures.

"When the time comes, the remaining gold coins will naturally be paid to you." The priestess replied, Kaidan was helpless, it seemed that no matter how many times they asked, their answers were the same.

"Look at them." At this moment, the voice of the priestess came from Kaidan's ear, and following her line of sight, Kaidan also saw the mage who were praying, "Those mage, they are because of their love for the heroes of the light. Faith, no more fear and confusion in the heart, the heroes of the light have taken away their fear and pain, and their current peace and beauty are attributed to the mighty power of the heroes of the light."

Kaidan didn't take it seriously: "Hero of Light? Why don't I know that there are people who believe in this kind of person? The records about the hero of light are just ancient legends in the mouths of bards. No one has really seen him, and no one has ever seen him. Prove his existence. If you say you follow the Stigmata and believe in the gods, I might approve of you, but Hero of the Light? That's just a story."

Kaidan has heard stories of heroes of the light.

It was in a tavern. When Kaidan was half-drunk, a desolate bard was holding his tattered tambourine, clapping and singing on a stage that everyone could see, singing in the form of a ballad to The crowd plays the story of the hero of light in exchange for a meager reward.

In ancient times, the hero of light walked the world. He ended wars after wars, killed evil people one by one, and saved countless innocent people. He fights for justice and sweeps away all injustice in the world.

The bard wrote his feats into a heroic battle of the light that is familiar to later generations. According to legend, the hero of light killed the evil hero who was on the side of the disaster, wiped out the demon king in the depths of hell, beheaded the corrupt griffin heart king, and executed the evil lich who tried to subvert everything. The repertoire is still performed by the troupe to this day. But anyway, that's just some unproven stories.

During this period of time, Kaidan also figured out the current location with his excellent pathfinding.

After Tazis took the people from the alchemy workshop, he did not really enter the territory of Erathia after leaving the city of the South Wind, but came to the border between the Holy Kingdom and the Mage Empire, which has always been a chaotic and unmanaged area. , and a little further east, you will reach Verning, which is occupied by the Necromancer.

I don't know when, the city of light has been established in this chaotic area, at least in the information provided by the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, Kaidan has never heard of this. Due to his lack of understanding of Erathia, Master Tazis thought that this was the church in Erathia, but Kaidan had already discovered the anomaly.

The belief in the city of light will never be accepted by the real Erathians. Instead, it is the mage who has fled. With the god of mage in front, it is easier for them to believe everything about the hero of light.

"You think the hero of light is just a story?"

From the change in Kaidan's expression, the priestess seemed to see what he was thinking, and then stared at him with a bad expression: "Before the demons rampaged, people also thought that hell and everything in the city of clouds are stories. The world has already The hero of light who was in danger and fought for justice will surely reappear in the world, continue to complete his mission, and he will save us all, including you of course."

Feeling the frenzy in the priest's words, Kaidan did not argue with her. He knew that he could not persuade such a firm believer, but would only make fun of himself.

As for the remuneration owed by the Church of Bright Heroes, Kaidan has reason to believe that it is not that they want to default on their debts, but a way of keeping Mage Tazis and his apprentices in the city, and then slowly preaching.

Although Kaidan disliked this approach, he had to admit that it was indeed effective. At least until he got all the remuneration, Master Tazis would not leave the City of Light. This process can take weeks or even months.

"Heroes of Light..."

After the priestess left, Kaidan curled his lips. He looked at the huge statue in the distance with a bit of contempt in his eyes. After experiencing all kinds of things, he will not believe that there will be any bright heroes. Even if there are, I am afraid that they will be the same as those kings of the doomsday, and they will not be much better.

There is no justice in this world. The doomsday is coming, and the powerful kings are fighting recklessly. They don't think about protecting the weak. They think about how to divide the world. end, even sooner.

As for the bright hero who only fights for justice and wipes out the injustice in the world, I am afraid that it can only exist in the stories of bards.
