Creating a Sandbox World

In general, the power development trajectory of this world is not too different from Lin Tuo's guess.

Lin Tuo asked about the "cultivation method" and learned that although this method is not top secret, the civilian class rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with it, and it is only circulated among the upper classes of society and the elite military.

In this regard, Lin Tuo is not very surprised. In such a society with huge social differences, knowledge gaps are normal.

As for the church, the one who believes in is the "Creation God".

It is recorded in religious classics that at first, the creation gods built this world, feeling in the desolation, and attracted countless creatures from the void with pure silver boats, descended into this realm, and thrived until today.

Well, I have to admit that Lin Tuo was a little relieved when he heard this part of the information.

At least, these people haven't completely forgotten themselves...Although this story has been obviously modified and distorted.

However, when Carter talked about the church hunting and killing wizards in the name of oracles, this comfort disappeared completely.

"You mean, the Kingdom Church claimed that it was using the oracle to apprehend and purify the wizarding community?" Lin Tuo's expression was a little ugly.

"Yes, the church said that wizards are servants of demons, but you can see, my nephew and niece are obviously ordinary people, where did you believe in demons?" Carter couldn't help complaining.

Lin Tuo ignored him, but understood in his heart that the so-called evil theory was a fabricated pretense with high probability. Reference to the earth's history has also seen similar barbaric acts.

"Don't the wizards try to resist?" Lin Tuo frowned and asked.

Carter heard this, shook his head, and said bitterly: "You are probably from the Southern Continent. The wizards of the Northern Continent have declined hundreds of years ago..."

Probably because there are wizards in the family, Carter is very familiar with this knowledge.

According to him, thousands of years ago, wizarding associations all over the mainland were still powerful enough to contend with the church, and even suppressed the latter for a period of time.

However, later, as the wizards' talents declined, they gradually declined.

The so-called "decline in talent" means that the later the wizards born on this land naturally possess the talent "spells", the worse the effect, and the fewer and fewer people.

At first, it was possible to make up for it through cultivation methods, but later, as the group of knights and priests expanded, the originally strongest group of wizards fell.

Originally, wizards are generally very talented in training. If they change to other spells in time, they will not decline so quickly, but it is probably due to some kind of pride. For a long time, wizards have clung to talented spells. Hold on.

Because of this, there broke out internal differences in theoretical directions.

As a result, the northern "Wizards Association", which was not very binding, was completely disintegrated, and the wizards of the North Continent gradually dispersed, becoming a scattered inheritance of families, masters and apprentices, and not a climate.

But in the far South Continent, I heard that the wizards who transformed in time and embraced new spells developed well.

In short, under such a background, the entire Northern Continent, especially in the Drei Kingdom, the wizards are completely weak and scattered, facing the church's collective action of the Templars, and they have no resistance.

Even a handful of powerful wizards are alone and can only flee.

"In the past year, the powerful wizards were either arrested and executed by the church, or they fled to the Southern Continent early, and the rest have no ability to resist." Baron Carter sighed deeply.

Is that right...

Lin Tuo's eyes flickered when he heard the words, but he was really surprised. The wizard's talents and supernatural abilities had declined, and the number of groups had shrunk. Could this have something to do with heredity?

For example, the bloodline becomes thinner as it goes back.

"In addition... the knights of the church are also something wrong." Suddenly, Carter said.

"Oh?"

"Yes,

More gloomy, fierce, fanatical, bloody... as if it were an inhuman killing machine."

Through the conversation, Carter was finally convinced that Lin Tuo did not come from the church, otherwise it would be impossible to ask these questions. In his opinion, the mysterious young man in front of him was probably a powerful wizard from the Southern Continent.

Therefore, when it comes to the church, there are not so many scruples.

"Inhumane... Killing machine?" Lin Tuo thought, repeating this sentence.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, just go to the church, no, go to the monastery in the town to see it. They only came here yesterday, and there were many wizards in the team.

On the day I entered the town, I saw with my own eyes dozens or hundreds of them tied with iron ropes, tied behind the horses, and pulled, a long string.

The wizards were covered with blood and wounds, and boys, women, and children were dragging like animals."

Speaking of this, Carter couldn't help but shiver, as if that scene had appeared before him.

Lin Tuo frowned, with some physical discomfort: "Dragging? They weren't executed?"

"Yes, I heard that the captured wizard will be brought back to the holy city of the church alive, and the pope will judge him himself."

So...

Lin Tuo sat in the thick armchair, his expression becoming more confused.

At this point, the matter seemed to be very clear, but more doubts poured out in his heart.

In Lin Tuo's view, this matter is full of doubts.

According to Carter, there has not been any turmoil in the Draé Kingdom in recent years. There is overall peace, the realm of faith, the church is dominated by one family, and the wizards are no longer a climate.

From any angle, there is no reason to start such a movement suddenly.

The royal regime is stable and the church has a strong faith. Neither party has the need to establish authority in such a drastic way.

Of course, it may also be due to Carter's narrow vision and missing information.

However, feeling the slightest anxiety in his heart, it is still difficult for Lin Tuo to "close the case" after all.

"It must be clear. Perhaps, I should go to the church and see it with my own eyes." Lin Tuo just thought of this in his mind, and suddenly, he looked at the door as if he was aware of it.

To be precise, it was looking at the direction of the castle.

"Someone is coming," he said.

"What?" Carter was taken aback, and even when he saw the "Southern Continent Wizard" in front of him, he got up and went straight out.

The baron hesitated, and subconsciously followed.

One after another, the two quickly walked along the corridor to the terrace of the castle back house. From this height, one could clearly see the scene outside the castle gate.

At this moment, there was a group of cavalry on horses, holding swords in hand, and wearing dark cloaks. The spring breeze blew by, and the metal armor under the cloak could be seen.

"The Templars! It's the church...they..." Seeing this scene, Baron Carter, who had just rushed to the terrace, looked pale, almost limp to the ground.

Looking at the menacing appearance of the other party, it is obviously not a normal "visit".

Was it discovered?But... how could...

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Carter's vision. It was his housekeeper, who was diligently opening the castle gate.

"It seems that your servant betrayed you." Lin Tuo said with emotion, "Yes, how can the Tibetans in the castle not be discovered at all?"

"He..." Carter's eyes were about to split, and his heart was extremely angry, but he was forced to suppress it.

Without hesitation, he turned his head and ran back to the secret room. On the way, he took a water basin from the kitchen, and when he ran into the room, he directly poured cold water to wake up the unconscious siblings.

"Wow—"

Under the stimulation of the cold water, the two young men finally opened their eyes, looking blankly: "Uncle..."

"Too late to explain, go!" Carter trembling all over, forcibly pulled them up, staggered and ran out the door, but he had no expectations in his heart.

But when the three of them came to the edge of the terrace, the young man named Morey stopped abruptly, looked at the castle gate, and exclaimed, "Ah!"

"They...are the ones!" The girl beside her couldn't help but her eyes widened and stopped.

"What?" Baron Carter also looked blankly, and then his whole person was stunned.

I saw that the "Southern Continent Wizard" did not know when he had arrived at the gate of the castle. He was standing outside the gate at the moment. Beside him, dozens of Templar knights had fallen to the ground, and the blood was filled!

...

...

"Now, we can have a good talk."

At the gate of the castle, with a chilly spring breeze blowing from a distance, Lin Tuo stared indifferently at the knight chief who had broken his hands and feet and lying on the ground.

In the surrounding area, a heavily armed church knight was seriously injured and lost the ability to fight.

But almost no one screamed, the atmosphere was strange and cold.

Originally, Lin Tuo just wanted to talk to them, after all, it was not a sensible act to rashly listen to Baron Carter's side words.

However, what surprised him was that these knights wearing black cloaks seemed to be stimulated the moment they saw themselves, and they started the charge. Their behavior logic was very different from that of ordinary people, more like beasts that saw their prey.

"Heart...Heart..."

In the cold wind, the badly wounded knight leader repeated the word in a low and confused voice.

"What else do you guys say besides heresy?" Lin Tuo coldly snorted, suddenly his heart moved, and he reached out his hand and drew a long sword from the ground and opened the dark cloak.

Reveal the true face of the knight.

Soon, Lin Tuo couldn't help but his eyelids twitched!

These guys...

I saw that as the cloak was lifted, the middle-aged knight almost subconsciously skimmed away, seeming to want to avoid the harsh sunlight.

He possesses the typical features of the Draé Kingdom, but his skin is deadly white, especially his eyes, which are almost pure black, without the distinction between pupils and white eyes, just chaotic black.

Obviously not a normal human!

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Lin Tuo's heart shrank, and he used his long sword to provoke the cloaks of the remaining knights.

I found that everyone was in a similar state, with pale skin, dark eyes, and an instinct to avoid sunlight.

"What the hell are you?" Lin Tuo took a breath, holding the long sword slightly hard.

"Heart...heresy...you will eventually be swallowed by darkness, and your evil deeds will be condemned by the heavens...you cannot escape...the gods are staring at you..."

In the eye sockets of the knight commander, a jet of pitch black swirled and repeated similar words.

Seeing this, Lin Tuo didn't hesitate anymore, stepped forward, pierced his chest with a long sword, penetrated his heart, and killed him with a single blow. At the same time, he looked down at the opponent from a high level and whispered:

"You are right, your evil deeds will be condemned by the heavens, and you cannot escape... the gods, staring at you."
