The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1392 Mad Knight Joan

Joan is a knight of the order with a false heart. He thinks he is a normal person, but in the eyes of outsiders, all people with false hearts, whether they are the clergy of the church or the believers of the church, are some people with abnormal brains , talking about things that no one can understand in the empty air all day long, but they can't be called lunatics, because most of the time they can still think like normal people, and can communicate with others. Normal people communicate with each other.

Whether in the old continent or in the new continent, the Church of False Heart is not a powerful church. There are very few people who truly believe in the Church of False Heart, and most of them go for the weekly money-like dust ceremony. Hypocrites.

The False Heart Church is also well aware of this, but they don't care. For them, as long as one true believer can be found among 10,000 false believers, they will make money, and they want to distinguish whether a believer is a true believer or a false believer. Believers are also very simple, that is to see whether the behavior of that believer is crazy in the eyes of normal people. A believer who is crazy is a true believer.

Being able to become a knight of the Order proves that Joan is a true believer, but he never thinks he is a lunatic, and he hates other people calling him a lunatic, which is completely different from other priests or knights of the Church.

This may be related to the reason why he became a knight of the order. Unlike other knights of the false heart order, he did not grow up in the orphanage established by the false heart. His background is not bad. The eldest son of a wealthy businessman, if there is no accident, he should marry a lady from another chamber of commerce when he becomes an adult, and then inherit his father's chamber of commerce and expand his family's business.

It’s just that there was border friction between Roja and the surrounding countries due to tariff issues, which eventually turned into a war, and he happened to be serving in the military at the time, and he had to participate in that war, and was injured by the enemy on the head during the war At that time, he was blind in one eye and was considered disabled and allowed to be discharged from the army.

After retiring from the army and returning home, his father tried his best to find a famous doctor to treat his eyes. Finally, a local witch doctor cured his blind eyes through some mysterious ritual.

Originally, Joan and his father thought it was a good thing, but what they didn't expect was that Joan's normal eyes always let him see some weird things that others couldn't see. At first, Joan thought Pretending to turn a blind eye, but what he didn't expect was that some of the strange things he saw could actually affect his thinking and sanity, making him often talk wildly in some public places and do some deviant things, and really Crazy is no different.

Joan's father was not ready to give up on his eldest son at first, and tried every means to treat him, but after various attempts, Joan's crazy words not only did not weaken, but became more and more serious, and even started to hurt others. As a result, Joan's father had to make a decision to cancel Joan's inheritance rights and transfer him to a second son, and Joan was blamed and sent to the madhouse opened by the local False Heart Church.

What makes people feel strange is that Joan's madness has completely recovered after entering the madhouse. Although his eyes can still see some weird things, those things can no longer affect his mental thinking.

Joan's situation was also known by the dean of the lunatic asylum. This dean is the priest-level clergyman of the False Heart Church. He felt that Joan's eyes were a gift from the False Heart. The things he can see are all products of the imaginary world, so Joan definitely has the potential to become a senior priest with a false heart.

Therefore, the dean of the lunatic asylum personally communicated with Joan, and gave Joan a letter of recommendation, recommending him to go to the headquarters of False Heart to study in the New World.

For Joan, who was in despair at the time, being able to leave this ghostly place of the madhouse was more important than anything else, so he signed a contract with the director of the madhouse without thinking too much.

However, he never imagined that the headquarters of False Heart is a more insane place than the lunatic asylum, because the lunatic asylum still has slightly normal staff, while everyone in the headquarters of False Heart is a lunatic.

Joan has conducted six years of training at the headquarters of False Heart, and during these six years of training, he did not become a senior clergyman as the head of the madhouse expected, but became a priest with record-breaking results. An order knight.

Because the grades are so good, the Church of False Heart intends to send Joan to the headquarters in the Old Continent for further training, maybe it can cultivate a paladin with False Heart.

But in the end this proposal was rejected, the reason is very simple, that is, the paladins cultivated by the headquarters of the Church of False Heart in the old continent have nothing to do with the New World, and the paladins cultivated will not be sent to the New World again. Why bother to give the talents in your own hands to others.

However, the problem came again later, because although there are a large number of order knights in the New World, there has never been a paladin, and they don't know how to train paladins.

Under such circumstances, someone thought of a way to send Joan to the paladins of other churches, and ask the paladins of other churches to train him.

I have to say that the outside rumors that the clergy of False Heart are all lunatics are indeed not nonsense. Such a weird idea of ​​letting paladins from other churches train Phantom Hearts is definitely not something that normal people can come up with. Yes, and being able to pass by all members is also not something normal people can do.

In this way, Joan was sent to the city of Nice and became a student of Sir Capone, the paladin of the Rock Church. The reason why Sir Capone agreed to accept Joan was because the clergy of the false heart had saved his life, and Having also helped him in his journey to become a paladin, he owes a favor to False Heart.

It's just that it is not difficult for Capone to train his church knights to take the way of paladins, but it is really embarrassing for him to teach a pagan pagan knight to become that pagan paladin. Before he could think of a good way, he could only arrange Joan in the patrol team in the church district of Nice City to be responsible for the patrol work.

Joan has been in the patrol team for almost a year like this, and the colleagues around him have also decreased one by one. In the end, he was the only one left. It was his colleagues who either took the initiative to transfer away from his team, or went crazy directly under his influence.

Although Joan himself didn't think he was crazy at all, he was normal, but in the eyes of others, he was a complete lunatic, and he was also a lunatic whose madness was contagious.

Either they chanted some incomprehensible sentences all day long, or they just stared straight at people, like watching monsters.

When other church knights are performing daily worship, he often says some weird words, and these words are incomprehensible gibberish to others, but to some church knights it seems like Hearing the blasphemous words seems to arouse their anger instantly and attack Joan.

But the problem is that Joan himself is very strong, and he usually defeats the attackers. The matter eventually went to the church joint council. After the training of the paladins, this matter will be over. After all, no one will care about a lunatic, especially when there are a group of lunatics standing behind that lunatic, and Sir Capone also has extraordinary prestige in the city of Nice , enough to suppress some dissatisfaction.

Because of these miscellaneous reasons, Joan finally became a one-man patrol team, which made Joan happy, because this way he didn't have to see some weird monsters every night.

Just as Joan is a lunatic in the eyes of other order knights, in Joan's eyes, these order knights who look like normal people are disguised by monsters, because at night, the true colors of these order knights will be revealed He sees through.

For example, the church knight of the God of Storms is a storm gull with scales, and every scale of this storm gull is covered with pustules.

For another example, the knight of the Church of the God of Harvest is a pile of mud that is constantly changing its shape. The human bones belonging to the knight are rolling in the mud, and he can even smell the stench emitted from the opponent's body.

He also tried to tell those church knights what he saw, but any church knight who heard what he said would attack him like the biggest secret that had been revealed, even if Didn't recover afterwards.

Therefore, it is definitely a huge burden for Joan to patrol with other people all the time. On the contrary, this kind of patrol alone is more suitable for him.

In the past, his patrol route was always arranged on the Gold Coin Avenue at the junction of the church district and the business district, but this time his patrol route was changed, and he was assigned to Jushi Street around the Panshi Church.

According to the captain of the patrol team who was dispatched, recently someone wanted to steal the top stone of the Rock Church church, but the Rock Church never liked other churches meddling in their church affairs, so Joann was asked to be in charge of patrolling that area If something happened, it would be better to communicate with the Rock Church. After all, he is still a student of the Paladins of the Rock Church. With this relationship, the Rock Church should not embarrass him too much.

Joan didn't have any objection to this, but accepted it with pleasure, because the location of the Rock Church is a bit remote, and there are not many people hanging out there, and the Rock Church does not call believers for religious ceremonies as often as other churches, so There aren't many believers gathering there, and patrolling alone won't be too troublesome.

The more important point is that the clergy of the Rock Church are not bad in his eyes. This does not mean that the clergy of the Rock Church he saw are normal people, but compared to other strange things, the clergy of the Rock Church The image of the stone man is much more normal, and after a long time, it will feel a little naive.

Although, from the bottom of his heart, Joan doesn't think that anyone would really want to steal that top stone, because that top stone itself contains very powerful divine power, not to mention ordinary thieves, as powerful as a paladin It exists, and it is impossible to touch the top stone.

The other is that the top stone is very heavy. According to Sir Capone’s introduction, the weight of the top stone with the height of a person can be compared with twenty corundum stones of the same size. This is an object that normal people can never move .

It's just that, even though he didn't think so, he was still very serious about patrolling every day, and he did catch some thieves, but those thieves' targets were all the shops on both sides of the street, and no one had an idea of ​​the Rock Church.

However, this situation seems to have changed today, because when he patrolled the main entrance of the Rock Church, he found two abnormal people.

The reason why it is called abnormal is that these two people are very normal in his eyes, so normal that they are no different from the people he saw when he was normal before.

You know, even if he looks at ordinary people now, he can still see some weird things on ordinary people, such as some people are surrounded by black mist, some people have flames on their bodies, and so on. Monsters, all in all, in his eyes, the world is now a world of monsters, even when he looks in the mirror, he is also a monster.

However, in such a world full of monsters, there are two very normal people, no matter how you look at it, it will make people feel weird.

Joan didn't think there was anything wrong with him, because in the street tavern where the two were, other people still looked weird in his eyes, and only those two were normal.

He didn't know how the other party did it, and he didn't know whether these two people had anything to do with the thief who mentioned that he wanted to steal the top stone. He just thought that those two people might be able to help him and help him solve his problem. The problem is to allow yourself to see normal things.

With a trace of expectation and curiosity, Joan walked straight to the two of them.

When the people in the small hotel saw Joan approaching, they all showed doubts, then stood up one by one, and left in a hurry without looking back.

Although Joann has never done anything big, his reputation has spread throughout the church district. After all, not everyone can make church knights go crazy inexplicably, so among all the legends about Joanne, the most well-known Legend has it that if you stay by Joan's side for a long time, you will go crazy, which also makes Joan like a plague god, making everyone afraid to approach him.

Joan didn't pay attention to the attitudes of the people around him. After all, it was not the first time he had seen such a thing, and he felt that those people didn't throw stones at him, but just left on their own initiative, which was good enough.

At this moment, his attention was completely on the man and woman in front of him, staring at each other for a long time, and then said without thinking: "My name is Joan, can you help me?"
