Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 72 I almost died!

Pat suddenly looked at Horn sharply...this guy actually wanted to kill her!
She was so confident just now because she knew one thing very well in her heart: between her and Horn, the Lord of the Tower would never choose Horn.

Even though this high priest has worked hard for the High Tower Church for hundreds of years.

After all, in the eyes of the Lord of the Tower, the reason why his believers are willing to fight for him and risk their lives is all for their own sake.

You don't need to care about the loyalty shown or the so-called diligence, it's just to exchange power with him.

There is a reason why this group of rescued gifted people would quickly gain the upper hand in the High Tower Church.

They are the only ones who opened their souls to the Lord of the Tower before they gained power.

Although the Lord of the Tower may not value all of them, even if he is an evil god, as long as he possesses something like godhood and divinity, he can tell how much of the believers' souls are tainted by his color.

Although the Lord of the Tower admitted that there was a reason why those believers were wary of him, and he had done things like burning believers to ashes to increase his energy before, he was still very dissatisfied with it.

The thoughts of the evil gods are inherently so shameless... There are reasons why they possess certain priesthoods but are completely regarded as beings that should not exist by the orthodox church.

It's just that, as the one who was saved and favored, Pat ignored everything.

The Ice King is much weaker than the Lord of the Tower and has committed many sins, but he can still exist in the main material plane, not just because he might be a white dragon.

There is also a huge difference between evil and wickedness.

Pat knew exactly what kind of existence his Lord God was.

Even though she now holds a special position in the High Tower Church and even the High Tower Lord values her very much, if she really dies, or is defeated in the battle with the Storm Bishop, then she is just "dead".

Her existence was necessary to the Tower, but if her death could bring enough benefit, then he would at most kill the person who killed her, rather than the mastermind and the beneficiary.

In other words, she was really facing a life-and-death crisis just now!
If it weren't for Lori's feather, she would probably have died if her magic failed!

Pat was very frightened, and his brain, which had been boiling with excitement over Marian's death, quickly calmed down, and he was finally able to think about what had just happened.

Horn's statement sounds innocent, but in fact it has many loopholes.

This is also one of the benefits of the Lord of the Tower always communicating with her... Pat is equivalent to a high priest in front of Horn. Horn can use words to describe his past actions, but he cannot lie to her.

Of course, this was not because of the gods' request, but because Pat had been suppressing Horn with his divine force field.

As long as there is something wrong with him, the fluctuation of divine power will reveal everything.

But as long as you can convince yourself that everything you say is fine, there will naturally be no fluctuations.

Therefore, some people who are very well prepared can still tell a lie.

But this kind of divine suppression works on the soul level, and any slight instability can be seen.

Even though Horn was confident in his ability to deceive, he could not be so stable in front of Pat, who had lived in Montes Castle for many years and knew Kyle well.

The most important thing is that the previous plan has failed, and the Lord of the Tower will definitely not stand on his side.

Even though Horn had very important things to do.

But they all knew that Pat would definitely not be able to stay at the border any longer.

Therefore, this female knight, whom the Lord of the Tower likes very much, can directly take over any of his work.

God’s favor is so terrible and unreasonable.

The righteous gods will consider the feelings of devout believers, but the evil gods will only do what they want.

Of course, Pat wouldn't fight him to the death at this time.

Horn is quite confident about this.

After all, he is a man with an important responsibility.

Even if Pat was favored by the Lord of the Tower, it was impossible for him to kill him directly at this time.

However, he had to behave himself and not be caught in any way... If he was killed for disrespecting the upper-level priests, the responsibility for the failure of the mission would be entirely his own.

In a cult like theirs, there are many strict rules that must be followed.

After all, most people don’t sincerely support the real master… Although they will do their best to help the Lord of the Tower to correct the starry sky, their main purpose is to hope that they can live as long as the sky and have the same strength as the gods.

Although many people deceive themselves and make themselves sound almost devout believers, they will still reveal their true intentions when they really encounter problems.

Therefore, although cult members appear to have great power, in reality they are bound by many iron rules that they cannot break.

Of course, they certainly don't have the rules that the Orthodox Church needs to avoid, such as murder and arson.

But they couldn't possibly touch the good deeds that the Orthodox did as long as they were not discovered. Even the punishment methods of the gods were very different.

The righteous gods usually deprive you of the gifts from gods. If you can gain power without relying on the gifts from gods, then even if you are old and frail, even if you are weak, as long as you can avoid the means of the judge or the avenger, you can still survive.

There are even believers who betray their gods for the justice they uphold in their hearts. Those righteous gods will deprive them of their divine power but leave them with some seeds of vitality and strength.

For the righteous gods, taking away their divine power and no longer giving these believers the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God and gain eternal life is the greatest punishment for them.

But at the same time, they will not give their believers greater benefits... As long as you are good, you will get eternal life later, so what else do you want?
But if it were the evil god, it would be impossible for him to pass so easily.

Not to mention betraying the gods, even violating their iron rules will surely burn your soul to ashes.

No matter how confident Horn was in himself, he would never dare to do anything to anger the gods.

The key is that his opponent is Pat, who can touch the iron rules a little.

Horn never thought that his careful calculation would fail... If Pat, who was favored by the Lord God, was killed by the Archbishop of Storm, then the Lord who had been communicating with her for many years could temporarily descend for a few seconds because of her death.

Then, Kyle's body, which could serve as a vessel for the god, was nearby.

Those few seconds were enough for the Tower Master to descend directly upon Kyle.

As for my admiration for Pat, it was just something I said casually.

How could the Lord of the Tower give up such a good opportunity for a human?
When it is basically impossible for the righteous gods to descend into the world, as long as he can appear, he will be the world's top fighting force.

The Lord of Storms was somewhat evasive about the existence of the Lord of the Tower because of past events.

That would at least allow the Lord of the Tower to buy a few years!

Therefore, Horn never thought that when the Lord of the Tower realized how rare the opportunity was, he would take action to rescue Pat.

Even though that proud woman gave up her pride, which was most admired by the Lord of the Tower, and chose to completely blend into the darkness.

Horn just couldn't understand how Bishop Storm, who could easily kill Count Montes, could fail?
But now is the time for him to act like a grandson.

Horn, who was quickly recalling in his mind whether there was any particularly distant parish that needed an excellent helper like him recently, answered Pat's various questions respectfully.

It can't be hidden anymore.

As long as Kyle's identity is confirmed, Pat will definitely understand that Horn really wants to kill her.

The two High Tower cultists who started the internal fight were both beaten half to death by Pat, and the Storm Archbishop who was seriously injured and fell to the ground was "forgotten".

But some people haven't forgotten.
-
Alan Marshall, who felt he was dying, had to hold on to the hand of the person dragging him along the rubble-strewn road and groaned softly, "It hurts!"

Although he was very grateful to the person who dared to save him at this time, the fact that he was covered in wounds and had to slide over the sharp stone thorns every time really made him feel like his last breath was about to disappear at any time.

“Ah… sorry.” The young, beautiful yet fragile lady said nervously, “I, I haven’t had much strength lately.

Masood hasn't come back yet. I'm... so sorry."

What could Marshall say?

Although this person also has the strength of a knight, she is pregnant.

Every newborn is playing a game in the womb.

The more the mother 'loves' them, the more nutrients she transfers to them... This is actually very simple for professionals... The more the mother's own strength declines.

In fact, most people try to maintain a balance: giving their children enough nutrition without harming their own strength and future.

There is a reason why the eldest son of aristocrats is often the strongest and most talented one.

The reason why Natalie was so kind to her second son and hated her third son Kyle the most was because she had paid too much in panic at that time.

But in the end I realized that all my efforts were a waste.

And now Miss Barti is pregnant with Masood's eldest son. Knowing what her husband and father are doing, she has left herself with only the most basic security.

Just to give birth to a child with better talents than Lowry.

It is said that Lady Yagris did just that.

Although Marshall felt that was what the Great Knight said afterwards, otherwise the woman would not have made obvious progress.

If she really paid so much, it would be impossible for her to become so much stronger in just a dozen years!
