Don't call me evil god

Chapter 671 The Real Action Corps

Although the devil and evil gods both have a bad reputation, there is an essential difference between them.

Once you surrender to the evil god, his power itself is extremely crazy. The evil god's believers can easily fall into madness and be unable to control themselves. Once this power is used, it will cause serious consequences.

The devil is different.

A mortal who signs a pact with the devil is conscious and has the ability to decide whether to borrow the power, whether to use it, and where to use it.

King Kenredin's attitude is that he has no objection to sorcerers who can control their desires, as long as they can use this power properly.

Therefore, there has never been an official decree of expulsion or prohibition against sorcerers in the Kingdom of Reyak.

All the exclusion and isolation of sorcerers are actually attitudes formed spontaneously among the people.

The king merely acquiesced but did not explicitly support it.

Even though Rune Monger was a warlock who made a deal with the devil, it was true that he had made a lot of contributions to the kingdom over the years.

As he accumulated wealth and eventually became the richest man, the businesses under his name and the various industries he invested in created a large number of jobs, provided salaries to many people, and provided convenience to the entire kingdom.

and.

The more Rune Monger earned, the more taxes he had to pay to the crown.

Including the various donations he has made continuously over the years.

No matter what his real purpose is in doing these things.

From the perspective of the things themselves, these are undoubtedly beneficial to the development of the Kingdom of Reyak.

So King Kenredin didn't mind Rune Monge's identity much.

If a bad guy wears a mask to disguise himself, and then deliberately does good things all his life until he dies, then judging by his actions rather than his heart, he is a thorough good guy.

At least.

In the good things he did, he was a good man.

When he really intends to do something bad, King Kenreddin will take action in time to solve it and not give him the opportunity to do evil.

Pete thought from a different perspective.

Are there not many people who have signed a contract with the devil?

Don't mention anything else.

In this room alone, there was one person sitting next to him, and he was the person closest to him.

There are now a dozen or so brave guys in the Church of Knowledge who believe that they are strong enough and call on Raphael to sign a contract to borrow power.

Then why can't they become the richest people in the kingdom?

Rune Monger was able to earn a huge amount of wealth, and there must have been some devilish power behind it.

But this is just like when priests charge fees for using radiant magic to heal people, when mages charge fees for using magic to provide convenience, or when warriors accept commissions to destroy monsters lurking in the wild, it can be considered the benefit brought by this power.

But this income alone is not enough.

If you want to achieve the level of Rune Monger, your own efforts, talent, and even opportunities are all indispensable.

Although the other party now possesses extremely abundant wealth, for King Kenredin, as long as there is enough evidence to prove that Rune Monge has an affair with the cultists, he will not hesitate to punish the other party.

Kenredin was obviously well prepared for the aftermath issues that were extremely daunting for Pete, and had always kept the corresponding back-up arrangements.

This is not just directed at Rune Monger.

It targets the richest man in the kingdom, or in other words, the wealthy people in the kingdom.

If any problems arise among them, Kenredin will work together with the Church of the Light to deal with them severely and ruthlessly.

It doesn't matter if the other person is called Rune, Sean, or Wayne. …

"So, gentlemen, don't worry too much. The biggest difference between us and the dwarves is that the Kingdom of Reyak will not be as stubborn as Stone Castle."

"Why don't we talk about the action legion?" King Kenreddin comforted everyone again, and then turned to a new topic: "What do you think of the concept of this legion?"

"I want to hear the truth. There is no need for meaningless flattery and praise."

Pete thought about it and decided to tell the truth:
"Your Majesty, if I were to simply speak based on what I witnessed in the throne room."

"The positioning and role of this legion are indeed very good, but... the nobles in the capital may not be willing to support it."

"Because it could mean more obligations, fewer benefits, and higher risks for them."

Kenredin clapped his hands and laughed.

"Pete, can I just call you that? Okay, Pete."

"You are so right!"

"You are very observant. I think you are all aware of the long-standing problems in the kingdom, right?"

Pete nodded silently.

What Kenreddin was obviously referring to was the fact that the emerging group of manor aristocrats was growing larger and larger, and their comfortable life was gradually wearing away their fighting spirit over time.

Just looking at the night party at Monger Manor reveals the problem.

Indulge in hedonistic pleasure and lead a dissolute life.

Forget about responding to the call of the Action Corps. It's good enough that they put their lives at risk and fought with all their might during the monster red tide.

Now Pete roughly understood why there was a "supervision team" branch in the King's Army composed entirely of professionals.

If we don't supervise the battle, some people might try to escape from the battle or shake the morale of the troops.

"You're hoping to use these guys to form an action corps? Forget it."

"I stopped expecting them to make much extra contribution to the kingdom a few years ago. Serving the country loyally on the border defense line may be the greatest value they can bring."

His Majesty Kenreddin seemed to have no fear of the consequences of telling Pete and the others these words.

He seemed very sure that Pete and his companions would never "go along with the manor nobles in the royal capital".

"Ever since I came up with the idea of ​​establishing an action corps, my target has not been the royal capital." Kenredin smiled confidently and explained to Pete and others.

"I've been to the eastern part of the kingdom many times, and have personally witnessed and experienced the... well, tough customs of the people there."

Pete nodded helplessly.

The tough character of the people in the eastern region, especially in the eastern border, is purely forced upon them.

Monsters haunted the city every year. Even if you were a refugee, you wouldn't be able to escape to the outskirts of Ceylon alive when monsters invaded. You would have to have some skills.

Even if they cannot defeat the monsters, they are familiar with many of their characteristics and know how to deal with them in order to escape.

"I have actually been waiting for an opportunity that will allow me to select a group of outstanding and potential candidates from the eastern part of the kingdom. They are the most suitable candidates for the action corps that I envision."

"Strong-willed, fearless in battle, and irreconcilable with evil!"

King Kenreddin looked at everyone with fiery eyes:

"Your presence gives me hope!"
