Chapter 1428: Cooperate honestly
The development of the matter was completely beyond Tagash's expectations. He had just entered the legendary state and sensed that there was the God's Favorite and a higher-level clergy on the ship. In addition, he gained strength.
Excited about the breakthrough improvement, I took the initiative to contact those two colleagues, but what I got was the enemies of the Eye of Truth.
And if the other party didn't brag, the other party's level of hostility could even be said to have reached the level of a mortal enemy. After all, the world has never heard of an incarnation of a god being killed by someone.
Just now, he tried to pray to the gods, but he couldn't get any response. Although he had prayed in the past, he also didn't get any response, but this time he had an inexplicable feeling that the reason why the gods didn't respond was because of the reason before him.
This couple looks like a noble couple from a certain country.
Now he has no idea of resistance, even if he is the enemy of the gods in front of him. Years of life at sea have taught him to compromise, and it is the same now. So when Leo put forward his suggestion, he nodded and agreed without thinking about it at all.
Come down.
Afterwards, he told his past experiences very honestly, including details about the Eye of Truth, making sure to satisfy Leo.
As Tagash described it in as much detail as possible, Leo learned that the old sailor in front of him who had been at sea for most of his life did not actually grow up on the seaside, but in a certain mountain deep in the interior of the old continent.
Son of Orion in a small country.
He received the revelation of the Eye of Truth much earlier than Leo expected. When he was a child of seven or eight years old, he received the divine revelation of the Eye of Truth for the first time. In that revelation, he lived
He suffered a serious illness that brought him extremely close to death, and then he became a believer in the Eye of Truth.
As for why in the town where he was at that time, only he had received the revelation of the Eye of Truth, but no one else had. He couldn't figure it out at the time. He only figured it out later when he grew up and recalled this past event.
Yes, all this may be related to what he got from the corpse.
The small country in the mountains where they live is very poor and has very little arable land. Most of the food they need daily must be purchased from surrounding countries.
When lords purchase food, they use ore from the mines in the mountains, while ordinary people purchase food and can only rely on the prey they hunt in the mountains. Therefore, the people of the entire small country in the mountains are hunters.
Normally, the targets of these hunters would be ordinary animals on the mountain, but if they find better prey, they don't mind being a robber.
Because the geographical location of the small country in the mountains is very special, it happens to be connected to the borders of several countries. If goods traveling to and from various countries pass directly through the small country in the mountains, not only can the transportation time be greatly shortened, but also a large sum of money can be avoided.
tax, and can even smuggle some high-value contraband.
For the hunters in the small country in the mountains, these fat sheep are the best prey, but most of the fat sheep are armed to the teeth and difficult to eat. They can only choose those who are easy to deal with, so every robbery is for those who
For the hunter's village, it is no less than a carnival feast.
During the feast, the hunters will bring all the harvest from the hunt to the village, and then let the village chief distribute it according to the ancestral system, and leave the rest to the women in the village to clean up. The women will deliberately leave some behind when cleaning up.
Some things are placed on the corpse, and finally the children of each family go up to search it. Anything they find belongs to the person who searched it.
Tagash still remembered that it was the fifth time he had participated in such a feast, but he had been very unlucky the previous few times. Either he didn't find anything, or he found something and was robbed. So this time, he grew taller.
With your mind’s eye, no matter what you find on the corpse, don’t look at it yet. Put it into your mouth and save it. When it’s over, you can take a look at it when you go home.
Therefore, when he found a strange-looking but extremely exquisite pendant from a corpse wearing religious robes, he immediately stuffed the pendant into his mouth.
However, what puzzled him was that when he returned home and wanted to check what the pendant was, when he took it out of his mouth, he found that the pendant was rusty and not as beautiful as he first thought.
He felt strange about this incident and told his family about it. However, their family members just thought that it was too dark at that time and he could not see clearly. In addition, the people around him made him nervous, so they regarded a rusty pendant as a
valuable jewelry.
Tagash was still very young at the time, so he was naturally unable to make any useful judgments. He could only listen to his family's words and believed that he was indeed wrong.
Thinking about it afterwards, he felt that this pendant that he could no longer remember should be the reason why he received the revelation of the Eye of Truth, because the day after he obtained the pendant, he fell ill, and during that serious illness he almost died.
During the process, his consciousness fell into a state called the Holy Guide. In that state, he received the revelation of the Eye of Truth, became a believer of the Eye of Truth, and received the gift of divine power from the Eye of Truth.
Believers who are blessed by the gods.
The magical skill he obtained at that time had no name, and its function was to detect large and small prey within a certain range that were blocked by various obstacles, so he named this magical skill Detect Prey.
With this magical skill, he became the best hunter in the village before he came of age. His reputation even spread throughout the small country in the mountains. Many of the strongest hunters in the village came to compete with him, but the results of the competition were unanimous.
The exceptions always ended with him winning, and the scalps of those who challenged him were all over the wall.
After he came of age, he became recognized as the strongest hunter in the small mountain country. Even the lord sent someone to invite him to join the lord's guard and become an official knight.
If Tagash accepted the lord's invitation at that time, joined the lord's guard and became a knight, then he might have stayed in his hometown for the rest of his life, and eventually became a local noble based on his merits and obtained some land or mines.
But in the end, he did not choose to stay in his hometown because he wanted to see the outside world, or to be more precise, the gods wanted him to leave the small country in the mountains and see the outside world.
Because on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he received a revelation from the gods for the second time. In the revelation, he obtained a second magical skill, a healing magic that could heal wounds, and he also sensed a hint of the thoughts of the gods.
After that, he left his hometown and wandered around the surrounding countries. He worked as a bandit and a mercenary, and also participated in the war that broke out between the two countries. Finally, he left the interior during a mission to protect a caravan.
Lu, came to a country by the sea.
When he saw the ocean for the first time, he was completely shocked by it. At that time, he thought that the ocean was his destination, and he also received the revelation of the gods for the third time and obtained the third magical power.
This magic allows him to identify the direction, discover the rocks on the seabed, and see through the deadly dangers hiding in the fog on the sea. This magical skill was also named navigation by him.
At that time, he was on the local dock and happened to meet Hailesa who had suffered a fiasco and was hiding to repair the ship and recruit sailors. He boarded Hailesa's Beloved and became Hailesa's navigator.
It lasted for decades, until now.
Hearing this, Sylvia suddenly asked a key question, saying: "In your decades of life at sea, have you met other believers or clergy of the Eye of Truth?"
Tagash, who was originally prepared to be vague, saw that the other party had discovered the matter that he had deliberately hidden, so he did not insist on continuing to hide it, but honestly told what he knew.
It turned out that over the years, he had not only met the Secret Eye of Truth believers and clergy who were hidden in various countries and even in various churches, but he had even used the convenience of his identity to act as messengers for these believers and clergy.
The Eye of Truth does have a church organization, but its church is more like a parasitic vine attached to other churches or organizations. It has not been discovered by the True God Church in this world, classified as a heretic church or an evil church, nor has it stood in the sunshine.
Develop your own church organization.
From Tagash's description, it is not difficult to tell that the church organization of the Eye of Truth is very loose, so loose that the church members and clergy all call the Eye of Truth of their faith according to their own ideas, and even the doctrines they understand are different.
, the church classics used vary greatly.
For example, Tagash knew the name of the Eye of Truth when he received divine revelation for the third time, but his understanding of the Eye of Truth was completely different from the teachings of the Eye of Truth in the world of Velen.
The teaching is to explore the unknown and discover the truth of the world, so adventure and exploration are what he believes to be the essence of the eye of truth.
But some believers believe that the eye of truth is to discover the sinful nature of this world. Only by discovering the essence and understanding the essence can we transcend the nature. Leading the people of this world to transcend the sinful nature is what they think is the core of the doctrine. Therefore, they will regard themselves as thinkers and revolutionaries.
With his identity, he travels around the world, exposing various social essences hidden under false prosperity, and launching grassroots uprisings one after another.
There are also some more bizarre clergy, who are almost all senior clergy of various churches. While they believe in the true God of their church, they also perfectly balance their identity as clergy of the Eye of Truth, secretly working in their churches.
Develop believers.
Their teachings are even more absurd. They believe that all gods are real, whether they are true gods, evil gods, or monsters comparable to gods, but the Eye of Truth is the most real. All they have to do is use
The reality of the Eye of Truth covers other low-level realities, ultimately returning the world to its true nature.
To be honest, Leo and Sylvia were a little confused when they heard this. They never thought that after the Eye of Truth came to this world, it would develop so many doctrines and ideas. They even doubted the Eye of Truth.
Are you crazy? You must know that the core of a church's teachings is the essence of gods. The essence needs to be pure to complete higher evolution, and the chaotic essence will only destroy those demigods and false gods who try to ascend to the position of true gods.
Falling into madness and ultimately self-destruction, the current Eye of Truth seems to have this tendency.
"Are you sure you all believe in the same god, the True Eye?" Leo asked with a hint of doubt.
"Of course, the magic that our Lord bestows on us is the same. If it is not the same god, how can we be given the same magic?" Tagash has already seen at this moment that as long as he answers the other party's questions honestly, he will not die.
worry, so his mood calmed down and the tone of his answers became normal. I saw him
After answering this question, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added: "However, although it is the same magic, the people who use it are different, and the effects are also different. For example, my magic is used to find prey, and some other clergymen use it to find prey.
When you use it in your hands, it becomes a matter of finding heretics, or discovering low-level people who can be developed, etc."
"It sounds like the Church of the True Eye will be exposed at any time. The structure is too loose." Sylvia found a doubt and asked tentatively: "Who are the True Eye believers that you remember?"
Come out and listen."
Hearing this, Tagash smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, madam. I can't tell." As he said that, he was worried that Sylvia would misunderstand, and quickly added: "It's not that I don't want to say it, I really mean it.
If I don't come out, those people are very vague in my memory. Unless I meet them in person, I can't remember anything about them, and I can't even tell others anything about the church."
"Then why can you tell us?" Sylvia asked.
Tagash was stunned, and it seemed that he was also a little surprised by this situation, but he quickly thought of something, turned to look at Leo, and said: "This may have something to do with the mark of our Lord on your body.
Your Excellency is a very high-ranking cleric in the church, and I don’t need to hide anything from you."
"In this case," Leo said, he suddenly turned on his spiritual vision, activated the divine mark of the Eye of Truth, let it cover the entire room, and ordered: "I order you to combine everything you know with the truth.
People related to the Eye will tell it."
As Leo's words fell, the vague memories of other church members in Tagash's mind instantly became clear, just like the foggy glass being wiped clean. At the same time, he could not control his mouth.
With his thoughts and thoughts, his whole person seemed to be controlled, and he told everything he knew about the identity of the believers.
At the same time, Leo and Sylvia also quickly recorded these lists, which can be said to be the secrets of the True Eye Church. While recording, they were also extremely surprised because there were hidden True Eye believers and priests in the list.
