Chapter 453
(PS: Thanks to the alliance leader "What Did I Lose" for the alliance leader reward. I am adding one chapter here. Thanks again for the support.)
Wu Pifu led more than twenty strong barbarians, with more than two hundred barbarians with extremely clear eyes and neat queues behind him, either pushing or pulling, a large number of flatbed carts, or simply wooden boards and cloth dragging on the ground, loaded with food, armor, weapons, etc., following Wu Pifu and moving forward quickly.
Further behind were thousands of people, men and women, all villagers and soldiers, and many were wounded soldiers. Among them were actually more than a dozen priests and several people dressed as mages.
"... It's really strange, all the extraordinary power on them is gone." Wu Pifu said to Beelzebub beside him while walking.
Two Extraordinary barbarians were carrying something like a stretcher, and the three small animals were lying on it, while Wu Pifu was talking to Beelzebub.
Beelzebub seemed to be thinking. She said while thinking: "I seem to have some impression of this situation, but I can't remember it. And at first, there was extraordinary power. Once you arrived, they didn't resist... No, they resisted, but after you kicked open the iron-clad thick wooden city gate, they didn't dare to resist, and then they immediately lost their extraordinary power. I am also very familiar with this situation..."
Wu Pifu confirmed that he couldn't get any useful information from Beelzebub, so he waved to a group of people behind him. The mages wearing robes saw this, and each of them trembled, but at this time they didn't dare to have any arrogance at all, and each respectfully walked quickly to Wu Pifu's side, respectfully listening to the words of the saint in front of them.
"I am very strange." Wu Pifu asked straightforwardly: "Didn't you have magic before? The magic emitted by that magic tower had pretty good power. How did you suddenly become ordinary people all at once?"
Several mages were dazed. They didn't expect Wu Pifu to ask this question at all, because in their opinion, this didn't count as a question at all.
After several seconds, the mage with the most gorgeous magic robe said: "Saint, this question... because we surrendered. Once we surrender, the heart has gaps, and we are no longer believers of the Mado Winged God. Naturally, we cannot use the extraordinary power from the Mado Winged God."
Wu Pifu was stunned. He thought for a few seconds and said: "Do you mean that you are actually all ordinary people? You relied on that bull to have extraordinary power?"
The mages were even more surprised. They had a confused expression on their faces. The leading mage said carefully: "Saint, we are not ordinary people. We are mages, extraordinary people, professionals. We are mages who only appear in one out of thousands of people. This number is much smaller than priests."
Wu Pifu was also full of ignorance and confusion: "But without the power of the Mado Winged God, can't you use magic? Are you just ordinary people?"
The mages looked at each other and said: "But if there were other gods, we could naturally use magic again."
"Yes, isn't this a matter of course? Without the Mado Winged God, as long as we survive this time, go to other city-states, or just go to any wilderness, we can also..."
"Anywhere, we are mages..."
These mages and mage apprentices thought Wu Pifu disliked them for having no power now, so they all started to complain.
Wu Pifu listened for a long time, sensed the clergy side again, and then nodded to show he understood.
Obviously, this world is different from the Dream World. It seems that all extraordinary people are related to gods. The stronger the god, the stronger they are. At the same time, if there is no god, their extraordinary power cannot be used. But they are still considered extraordinary people, because as long as they are accepted by other gods, they can use extraordinary power again, while ordinary mortals cannot do so. This is the difference between them.
But this is simply two different things from the extraordinary people Wu Pifu knows and thinks. Since when was the power of extraordinary people bestowed by others?
Wu Pifu looked at the dozen Extraordinary barbarians again and waved to some of them. These barbarians immediately ran up, looking at Wu Pifu with clear eyes.
Following Wu Pifu's inquiry, they immediately talked about their power in a mess. However, they were indeed not very smart, and what they said was upside down. Each of them used messy words and exaggerated adjectives, and Wu Pifu had to understand while feeling their emotions to roughly understand their meaning.
In short, the extraordinary power of the Extraordinary barbarians comes from magical beasts, spirit beasts, or ancestors, etc., which is almost the same as those extraordinary lives in the wild, but they have not yet reached the level of gods, only belonging to the extraordinary level. After receiving their gifts, these Extraordinary barbarians possess extraordinary power, but compared to priests and mages, they are much worse, almost similar to the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, the eyes of an eagle, etc...
In short, looking at all the extraordinary people contacted so far, their power does not come from themselves. Either it is a gift from a god (priest), or it is relying on a god to communicate with elements (mage), or it is relying on spirit objects and magical beasts to obtain extraordinary power (barbarian). There are almost no examples of obtaining extraordinary power by oneself.
He is an exception among exceptions, so these people call him a saint, meaning a person who is born holy, which has the same effect as a god.
"... After arriving at the city-state, they should have writing, history, and mythological records. Then look up the reason. Don't waste your confusion index at will." Beelzebub said on the side.
Wu Pifu could only nod.
Beelzebub then asked curiously: "Speaking of which, why do you have to come back to kill this bull? Or do you think there is beef if its main body dies?"
"Yes, beef!" Wu Pifu's eyes shone slightly. After a few seconds, he said seriously: "That's not the reason, at least not entirely. I have suffered a great loss before because of underestimating the enemy and not pursuing it to the end. So since then, I have warned myself that I must eliminate evil completely. If there is no hostility, then naturally I will go far away. But if there is hostility, then I must thoroughly kill the enemy, cut the weeds and roots, and kill them all."
On the other side, in the city-state, the main magic tower has been completely opened, magic spiritual light shines, and there are dozens of priests praying in the temple. The high priest performs blood sacrifices every few moments. The blood falls into the bull statue through the grooves of the altar, and the flesh is pushed into a deep pit next to the statue. Chewing sounds come from below, which makes the power of the Mado Winged God begin to recover, the divine holy light lights up, and the divine domain covers the entire city.
Besides that, the entire city-state has sent out all its soldiers, and even the private soldiers of the city-state nobles are fully armed, all gathering at the city walls and city gates, ready to fight to the death with foreign enemies at any time.
And on a hillside fifty kilometers outside the city, a newly built camp can overlook the entire city, especially the gate, which is in full view.
Under a luxurious large sun umbrella, the city-state ruler is looking at the city-state scene in a daze. The main nobles in the city, two high priests, and two mages are standing respectfully behind him.
"... The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated, but there are more and more witnesses."
The ruler is a young man. He looked at the city-state in a daze and said: "You want me to believe the rumors and believe that a barbarian easily abused and killed a god projection, and then kicked open the fortress gate, let the magic of the magic tower reach him, used his flesh to bounce it away, was unharmed, and at the same time slashed with a blade, causing half of the magic tower to collapse, is that right?"
Everyone behind him didn't dare to speak, each lowering their heads in silence.
The young man was in a daze for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud and said: "We should all know that the power of barbarians comes from the spirits in the wild. These so-called spirits in the wild are spiritual things that can't even become the lowest-level wild gods. So barbarians are actually a low-level extraordinary system. So... if there really is such a barbarian who can do all this, then he is definitely not a barbarian. He is something else."
The mage behind him suddenly said: "Could it be a humanoid god?"
"Ha?"
The young man looked at the mage sideways and said: "Are you an idiot? Or do you think I'm an idiot? Looking at the twenty surrounding city-states, and even the Kama Kingdom and the Rainforest Kingdom, there has never been a real humanoid god. Even if there are humanoid gods, they are mostly liches, vampires, etc. Although we say they are barbarians, in terms of bloodline, they are indeed humans without a doubt."
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to talk much.
The young man was silent for a while and said: "Just as I ordered before, let us witness with our own eyes whether all these rumors are true. If it is true, if it is true..."
The young man lowered his head, and a certain fanaticism appeared in his eyes. He muttered: "I have made all preparations, arranged all relationships, arranged all hidden lines. Not to mention anything else, as long as he can really kick open the city gate, just this one, the army in the city will immediately turn against us, all mages will immediately close the magic tower, and the priests and high priests in the temple will immediately change to sacrifices with poison from wild poisonous gods, and then... let us witness the god killed by humans!!"
Everyone behind the young man was silent again. At this time, a high priest asked: "Ruler... if he cannot hold the position of a god, and our worship and sacrifices to him cannot be transformed into the power of the divine domain, what should we do?"
The young man laughed, looked at the high priest with the eyes of looking at an idiot, and said: "Come on, a human who can kill a god at will, do you think we still need a god to provide power!? Get it clear, a human who can communicate, even if he is a tyrant, so what!? It's better than the most charitable true god! If all this is true, then he is a true saint, and the era of us humans is finally coming... It's coming, it's coming!"
Everyone looked far outside the city. Thousands of people were walking over. They used extraordinary power to improve their vision, carefully watching the movements of this group of people. Everyone's heart tightened, especially the priests and mages. They didn't know whether they were eager for all this to be true or hoped that all this was false.
Then, they saw the first person in that team. It was indeed a barbarian, huge in size, full of muscles, holding a broken blade, with incredible speed. Then he kicked the giant city gate. With a bang, the giant city gate, which was enough to withstand battering rams and even withstand the god-level fierce attacks for several minutes, was completely shattered, and the entire city wall was fluctuating and trembling.
The young man stood up suddenly. His eyes shone, and he roared with laughter: "Welcome the saint to your loyal city!"
"Ha, hahaha... There really is a saint, there really is..."
"The initial outsider!?"
