Chapter 4 What to do if someone suspects you are a spy
The Paladin also felt uneasy at this time, as he might be suspected of being a traitor by this messenger of God.
Recently, this messenger of God always looked at him with suspicion.
He was also assigned such an evil job as an overseer to test him. It seems that he will have a long way to go to truly gain the trust of this messenger of God.
Since the undercover plan has made no progress, it is estimated that the real secret lies with this messenger of God, but it is very dangerous to get close to the messenger of God.
Damn it, what went wrong? He had clearly done everything to perfection, whether it was financial support, painting the armor black, or reciting the doctrine.
As expected, none of the gods' messengers are easy to deal with. Their wisdom is truly terrifying.
If his undercover identity was really discovered, he would probably be crushed to death in minutes.
He was very familiar with the doctrine. He could even recite the doctrine of the Goddess of Plenty more skillfully than he did the doctrine of his original Torch Church. After all, if he failed to recite it well, his undercover identity might be exposed!
This is really too dangerous. I think only a noble paladin like him would be willing to brave the difficulties and take huge risks to go undercover in the cult's lair.
It's definitely not a sudden idea that came to me because I had been sitting on the bench in the church doing nothing.
According to the teachings of the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty, messengers are divine creatures sent directly by the gods, and are powerful beings that possess a portion of the power of the Goddess of Plenty.
The doctrine also said that the messenger of God was generally a powerful monster called the Black Goat Kid.
Now, this messenger of God named Rand appears to be a humanoid creature on the surface, but it is still unknown what kind of monster he is actually.
If you provoke him, who knows if he will immediately turn into a huge monster and crush you to death. This is really scary.
Rand, completely unaware of Tanner's imagination, is training his followers.
Because he needs the believers to learn some normal fighting methods, as long as it is not a life-and-death moment, or to ensure that the identity of the cultists will not be exposed. Otherwise, if they use the power of the Mother Goddess at will, they will soon be hunted down by the Torch Church.
If it is discovered that this is a cult hideout and its exact location is exposed, the judges from the Torch Church will come over like wild dogs, smelling the scent.
Although when he was a cloud player before, he only thought that the clothes of the Torchlight Church were beautiful and the inquisitors of the church were beautiful.
But now that he has traveled through time and space and become the leader of a cult, he feels that these people are hideous.
All I can say is that the butt determines the head.
Q: How can a group of poor and weak villagers quickly become combat-ready? A: Slingshot
In front of Rand was a small chopped wooden stake.
At this time, he stood upright with concentration, tied a leather bag in the middle of two ropes of equal length, and placed slingstones in the bag.
Grab the end of the rope and swing it rapidly above your head. When you feel the speed has reached maximum, release a belt and the stone in the bag will be thrown out in the direction of the tangent.
No hit.
Rand was not angry. He picked up another stone and swung the rope again, and this time it hit.
With a slight snap, the stone hit the small wooden stake, causing it to shake slightly. The stone bounced off, but the bark had completely cracked where it hit, and a dent appeared in the wood part, with slight cracks around it.
"Do you understand everything?" Rand asked, turning around.
The believers and slaves at the back all nodded as if they understood, not realizing how powerful this thing was.
Rand didn't need them to understand.
If the slingshot is really practiced well, it can hit any point within fifty meters, but this requires a huge amount of energy, and Rand does not need them to practice to this level.
If this thing is used by one person without proper practice, the hit rate will be very low and the power will not be great.
But when there are too many people, a barrage of bullets will form, causing great damage to unarmored or lightly armored units.
He just needs his followers to avoid attacking their own people.
His current goal is to clear out the monster nests near the hideout, and most monsters do not wear armor.
The appearance of a monster nest near the hideout was within Rand's expectations. After all, although this place could be easily found by a paladin, it was still relatively remote compared to an ordinary village. At least there wouldn't be an army of nobles coming to clear out the monsters every once in a while.
When we were exploring the wasteland before, some slaves were injured by monsters, which seriously violated Rand's dignity! It's time to let these monsters feel the oppression of the church! Paladin Taner watched quietly for a while. He had already felt the wisdom of this messenger from God.
He waited until Rand announced that the believers should take a break before stepping forward and saying, “The man who bought the seeds is back.”
At this time, Taner had taken off his helmet at Rand's request, revealing a handsome and heroic face without any scars, and a calm look on his face.
His eyes are always full of thought.
"That's great, we can arrange to grow food!"
"Someone was robbed, and the price for the seeds was wrong." Taner's face was not very good, because he was also responsible for this matter. After all, he was the only educated person present besides Rand.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"What do you mean?" Rand looked a little confused.
In fact, Rand had not completely considered the possibility of emergencies, so he arranged for many people to enter the town in batches, which not only reduced the risk but also allowed them to collect intelligence.
According to the robbers, they were originally ordinary villagers, but one day they were suddenly robbed by soldiers with lion patterns printed on their bodies.
Therefore, the few who managed to escape had to come here to become robbers.
Isn't the lion pattern the emblem of the royal family of Lunsa? Is the first North-South conflict starting now?
Rand, feeling somewhat uneasy about this, assigned these believers who went to purchase the goods the task of collecting information, including checking to see if there was a wanted order for Taner. A powerful apostate paladin should also be wanted. Of course, it is also possible that the church does not want to publicize it.
Taner said: "The Kingdom of Lensa and the Northern Alliance have gone to war."
He originally thought that Rand might not know the distribution of power in human countries, and he was ready to explain it, but after he finished speaking, he only saw that Rand seemed to be thinking about something, but he did not look confused.
It turns out that beings like God's messengers will also seriously examine human forces. No wonder those evil cult forces are always so difficult to eliminate.
Rand thought this was Taner's test of him! How could a cult envoy not know the distribution of power in human countries? If he really didn't know, the Torch Church would be destroyed by human nobles without the need for them to take action.
There is nothing we can do about this situation now that the war has started. We are lucky enough to be able to buy seeds.
But they robbed me of my money and maliciously raised the price. I will remember this grudge and will take revenge sooner or later.
But now he can only retreat. If he remembers correctly, the first conflict between the North and the South will soon be mediated by the Torch Church, and in theory it will not affect his mountain village.
But the most urgent thing now is to eliminate Taner's suspicion. Now he feels that Taner is showing a doubtful look more and more often.
Now Rand has sensed the crisis of God!
If there was an index of suspicion, Rand felt that Tanner had almost reached the maximum and was about to question him.
Then he issued a challenge and easily defeated this fake messenger of God.
This is how his wonderful adventure in Rand's world of Deep Moon comes to an end.
