Chapter 52: What I Believe in Has Never Been the Golden Rule (Please Read Again)

The entire meeting hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Ur, who was standing in the center, as if they were looking at a madman.

How many people in the slums are infected with corruption now? At least tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people purified at once?

Lear's expression also became a little ugly, but he was speechless.

Currently, he only knows that high-level prayers can cure the poor people infected with corruption, but the only high-level prayer in the royal city is the Golden Bishop.

Moreover, the cooldown time of the skill God's Blessing is also very long. In other words, the poor people infected with corruption are already half a step towards death.

It's just a matter of time.

"Sir Wuer, do you know what you are talking about?" King Rosser was furious. "There are tens of thousands of poor people infected in the slums!"

"So what?" Wu Er glanced at the king expressionlessly. "Didn't Her Highness the Saint tell you? In order to cure the corruption disease, a high-level prayer must be performed. Do you think you can save so many people?"

"Instead of letting them die in agony, it would be better for us to purify them directly. There is still a chance to lure out the corrupt sect members!"

"Those believers who can bring corruption through death, that is their final value, and the Golden Rule will bless them."

As Ur spoke, no one interrupted. Perhaps killing those infected with the corruption disease was the right choice, but no one wanted to bear the infamy of the massacre.

[You have triggered the decision task of corruption (A-level)]

[The followers of the Corrupted Law want to summon the Corrupted True Spirit in the Royal City, while the Golden High Priest is ready to purify the entire slum. How will you choose? ]

[Mission Option 1: Help the Golden Church purify the slums and thwart the conspiracy of the corrupt sect]

[Quest Rewards: 1 million experience points, Golden Law affinity +10%, True Silver Holy Sword]

[Mission Option 2: Stop the Golden Church from purifying the slums and assist the corrupt sect in awakening the corrupt true spirit]

[Quest Rewards: 1 million experience points, Corruption Law Affinity +10%, Corrupted Scepter]

[Task Option 3: You are an apostle of blood, why do you obey gold or corruption? Maybe you can try to become a savior? ]

[Quest Reward: 1 million experience points, Blood King's Robe]

[Note: The gods are watching you. Your choice will have different consequences. Please consider carefully.]

A task panel suddenly popped up in front of Li Er's eyes. Looking at the information on the panel, he fell into deep thought.

Decision missions are very common in games. They are usually missions that have a significant impact on the plot. Players can choose different mission routes, compete with each other, and finally leave the only winner.

Lear was not surprised that the mission was triggered, but what did this attention mean? Was the god paying attention to him? Which god? The Lord of Blood? Lear felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He shook his head and didn't intend to make a decision immediately. He was just a weak, pitiful and helpless mid-level professional.

As the leader of a cult, he doesn't even have many subordinates he can use, so naturally he would let the tough guy take charge of such a big matter. He would wait and see how things develop before making a decision.

"So, who among you is willing to complete this glorious task?" In the center of the hall, Ur's eyes swept over everyone.

In the crowd, Lear raised his head and looked at the high priest with some disdain.

Proposing such a decision that will definitely bring you criticism, but wanting others to do it is really like being a whore and trying to be a saint.

He said directly: "Sorry, our Stuart family will not get involved in this matter."

Li Er's voice broke the silence, and everyone looked up.

Wuer fixed his eagle-like eyes on Lier, "You want to reject my proposal?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest." Lear nodded nonchalantly.

Wuer narrowed his eyes. "I know you. You are Albert's son and Stuart's heir. But with that, do you have the courage to disobey me?"

A powerful aura surged towards Lear, and the nobles around him scattered.

Feeling the pressure on his body, Li Er just raised his eyebrows.

His physical fitness has reached 76 points. Generally, only high-level professionals who have added points to their overall strength will have such attributes. He is even stronger than many extraordinary-level professionals. This pressure has no effect on him at all.

He looked at the strong Wuer and laughed, "Sir Wuer, what you said is not quite right. Disobey you?"

"Even if you are the high priest of the Golden Church, you don't seem to have the power to command me, right?"

"We, the Stuart family, have always been believers in war. Even though I am a wizard, I have never believed in the Golden Rule."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Or do you think, High Priest, that the Golden Law is above war and arcane? That you can command the followers of war and arcane at will?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall became silent again, and even Wuer's expression changed. He just wanted to use his strength to make Lier surrender.

If he agreed to what Lear said and believed that the Golden Rule was superior to war and the arcane, it would be a clear provocation.

Although the Golden Rule is indeed stronger than war and arcane in terms of its dissemination and the power of its believers, facts are facts. It is different to admit it in person.

"That's not what I meant. You are the nobles of the kingdom. Heretics have appeared in the royal city. Don't you nobles have an obligation to do your part?" Ur quickly changed his words.

"You are right. We are the nobles of the kingdom and we should contribute to the safety of the royal city, but not in this way."

Li Er shook his head. "Purifying the slums was a suggestion made by you, the High Priest. Since you think this is an honorable mission, wouldn't it be better for the Golden Church to do it?"

"Eliminating heretics is also the mission of the Golden Church. As for what you said about finding Her Highness the Saint..."

Li paused for a moment and looked at Mori who was standing aside. "I heard that your son Mori was the guard of Her Highness the Saint. Her Highness the Saint was missing, but he knew nothing about it. This is a great dereliction of duty."

"In that case, why not give this mission to him? It's both glorious and can atone for not being able to protect the Saint. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

The nobles looked at Mori, who had been silent behind Wuer, and then they knew Mori's identity.

They looked at Wu Er with some disdain. Did the high priest make this suggestion because he wanted to find the saint quickly? To make up for his son's negligence?

Mori, who was silent on the side, was watching his father show off his prowess, but how come the atmosphere changed in an instant? When he heard what Lear said, his face suddenly changed. His father had told him about this proposal last night, intending to find a nobleman to take the blame, so why did it boomerang back on his head now? Wuer was also a bit trapped at this moment. His son had already made a mistake, and if he was blamed again, wouldn't he be completely ruined?

He looked at Lear who was smiling not far away. On the surface, he was thinking, but in his heart he was burning with anger.

"I see everyone thinks my suggestion is good? What do you think, Your Excellency the High Priest?"

Lear glanced at the nobles around him and said with a smile.
