Don't call me evil god

Chapter 87: One Question, One Answer
By the time Miranda came to her senses, she was already following the Seeking Knowledge Cult's large group on their way to the Blood Fang Gang's third base. Only then did she realize that something seemed to be wrong.

What was she planning to do in the downtown area?

Oh yes.

The divine magic warned her that there was a threat related to the evil god in the lower city.

She wants to find evidence.

Now we have not only found evidence, but also gained something extra.

A sect that is suspected of believing in the old gods, and these people are bold enough to openly impersonate the Crusaders!

The question is, their purpose in pretending to be the Crusaders seems to be to attack the real enemies who have been bewitched by the evil god?

He even asked for her help just now, asking her to go with him to wipe out another evil stronghold influenced by the evil god.

Did she agree subconsciously?
Miranda was very sure that the Bloodfang Gang had been bewitched by the evil god.

Before heading to the Rose Berry Pavilion, Gail took her around the Crimson Mercenary and showed her where several mage followers were cleaning up the environment after the battle.

Witnessing with her own eyes the Bloodfang Gang members with ugly tumors on their necks, swollen limbs, and pus gushing out of their wounds, and sensing the familiar, repulsive aura of madness from them, Miranda decisively took out her photography crystal to record it.

The evidence of the evil spirit's influence is unmistakable.

But Miranda was in a dilemma when it came to judging the position of the Seeking Knowledge Sect.

Miranda was completely blind to the events before the New Huili. There was no such content in the knowledge she could learn in the Cult of the Light. It was Mr. Bahamut who suddenly appeared and told her about these old events.

If Miranda had followed her previous thinking, she would have returned to the church immediately and reported everything she saw in the downtown area.

What Bishop Skate said about items related to the evil god being transported through Green Port is definitely not true.

The evidence is irrefutable that the Bloodfang Gang has been bewitched by the evil god, and the Crusaders must be dispatched immediately to destroy them.

The knowledge-seeking sect and divine arts have warning signs, and we recommend attention and investigation!
With this explanation, her mission was completed.

But Bishop Esket prefers a one-size-fits-all, one-man-talk style.

Now that the divine arts have been warned, there is a high probability that an order will be issued to expel the Knowledge Seeking Sect or simply wipe them out altogether.

Now Miranda was a little hesitant.

"Are the followers of the old gods really going to be counted as followers of the evil gods and exterminated?"

"His followers all seem to be righteous, don't they?"

"Besides, is Bishop Skate's decision really correct?"

It is very difficult to hide the madness of a mortal who has been bewitched by an evil god.

Especially for the trained Crusaders, they can tell the difference between the evil god's followers and normal people as long as they get close.

Miranda did not sense any signs of the evil god's influence among the followers of the Seeking Knowledge Sect.

They were all sensible and friendly.

What's more, these people did not hesitate to disguise themselves as Crusaders and fought a desperate battle with the Blood Fang Gang who had truly surrendered to the evil god.

Just by seeing the Blood Fang Gang members lying in the Blood Red Mercenary Base, Miranda could imagine the intensity of the battle.

After discovering Miranda and other members of the Church of Light, if the people of the Seeking Knowledge Sect were really believers of the evil god, the best way would definitely be to kill them directly, so that there would be no danger of being exposed for the time being.

So not only did they not harm Miranda and her companions, they even asked for her help in attacking the Bloodfang Gang's stronghold?
Unconsciously, her attitude had begun to deviate.

……

After cleaning up the scene of the Blood Red Mercenaries and on the way to raid the Rose Berry Pavilion, Pete made a simple and practical classic tactical allocation:

"We've wasted some time. It's probably too late for the assassination."

"But now we have Ms. Warren and her companions joining us! We can just switch to a strong attack!" "Warriors will be at the forefront. Reina will lead the stealth warriors to provide support. The mages will follow my command and focus their fire. The rangers will do the same as before, protecting the priests. Also, protect Ms. Warren and her companions."

"In short, hold on if you can, fight hard if you can, and heal if you can!"

Everyone responded with a roar.

Miranda looked around in disbelief. "Wait, is this how you assign tactics?"

Pete was a little puzzled: "Why, is there a problem?"

Miranda felt like her worldview was being challenged again.

This is completely different from other teams she has seen fighting against evil gods' followers or monsters!

"You want the soldiers to be at the front and bear the most dangerous position. Will they be willing?"

"Why didn't you make it clear in advance how much extra reward there would be for the first group of people to engage the enemy?"

Gale, who was next to Miranda, shook his head when he heard this: "Oh, you mean that? We don't need that in the Seeking Knowledge Sect."

"As soon as we heard that we were going to fight against enemies related to the evil god, everyone's enthusiasm immediately reached a peak."

"We are only afraid that we will be too slow to act, and our companions will have defeated the enemy before we can even have a sip of soup."

Gale was clearly speaking the common language of the continent, but Miranda could hear it sounding like a divine book.

Her first reaction was disbelief.

"This is a fight against the evil god's followers. Aren't you afraid? How can you be so enthusiastic?"

Gale exclaimed, and asked in confusion, "Because as long as we destroy the enemies who have accepted the power of the evil god, the great god will give us rewards as a reward for our efforts."

"The more courageous the battle and the greater the contribution, the greater the reward."

"Will the God of Light not reward the Crusaders for their feats?"

This rhetorical question almost made Miranda speechless.

It was the first time she knew that striking down the evil god's followers could earn rewards from the gods!
The Crusaders went out to fight against the evil god's followers, but never received any rewards from the God of Light.

For people like Miranda, after believing in the God of Light and practicing for a long time, the God responded by giving her several divine arts.

For example, divine spells like [Divine Word: Shield] and [Minor Healing] can be released by Miranda after chanting prayers. These are the powers bestowed on her by the God of Light.

As for the possibility of receiving rewards from the gods for fighting against the cultists who surrendered to the evil god, Miranda had never thought of this possibility.

In order to motivate the members of the Crusaders, the Church relies on instilling in them the belief that it is their mission to eliminate evil.

As well as various tangible material rewards.

The first people to fight are the most dangerous, and the church will often promise them extra rewards.

Not to mention the adventurers and mercenaries who kill monsters in the wild.

It is customary for the team member responsible for engaging the enemy to take the majority of the team's income.

Destroy as many monsters as possible and use the iconic parts of the monsters as proof to exchange for money or other things as rewards from the Glowing God Cult.

In short, these rewards all come from the churches established by mortals who believe in the God of Light, rather than from the grace of God.

In Miranda's opinion, the reward from God must be something very precious.

How come all the followers of this "Old God" can get rewards directly from the God of Knowledge just by defeating the evil god's followers?

Somehow, Miranda suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion called envy.
