Qiao An is a knight of the Order of False Heart. He thinks that he is a normal person, but in the eyes of outsiders, all people with False Heart, whether they are church clergy or church members, are people with abnormal brains. , The gods are talking to the air of no one all day long and saying things that no one can understand, but they can’t be called lunatics, because they can still think like normal people most of the time, and be able to think like normal people. Normal people communicate with each other.
Whether in the Old World or the New World, the False Heart Church is not a strong church. There are very few people who truly believe in the False Heart Church, and most of them go for the weekly money-like ritual. False believers.
The vain heart church also knows it well, but they don’t care. For them, they only need to find a true believer among 10,000 false believers. They want to distinguish whether a believer is a true believer or a false believer. The believer is also very simple, that is to see whether the behavior of that believer is mad in the eyes of normal people, and a believer who has gone mad is a true believer.
Qiao An's ability to become a knight of the Order proved that he was a true believer, but he never considered himself a madman, and hated others to say that he was a madman. This is completely different from other clergy or knights of the Order.
This may have something to do with the reason why he became a knight of the Order. Unlike other knights of the Order of False Heart, he did not grow up in an orphanage established by False Heart. He came from a fairly good background. He is a member of the northern city-state of Roja. If there were no accidents, the eldest son of a wealthy businessman would marry a lady from another chamber of commerce when he became an adult, and then inherit his father's chamber of commerce to expand his family's business.
However, because Roja and the surrounding countries had border frictions due to tariff issues, and eventually turned into a war, and he happened to be serving in the military at the time, and he had to participate in the war, and during the war he was injured in the head by the enemy. At that time, he was blind in one eye and was deemed disabled and allowed to be discharged from the army.
After returning home from the army, his father tried his best to find a famous doctor to treat his eyes, and finally healed his blind eyes through a mysterious ritual in a local witch doctor.
Originally, Qiao Ann and his father thought it was a good thing, but what they didn’t expect was that Qiao Ann’s normal eyes would always let him see some weird things that other people couldn’t see. At first, Qiao Ann thought about it. Pretending to be blind, but what he didn't expect was that some of the strange things he saw could affect his thinking and sanity, causing him to speak madly in some public places, and did some deviant things, and true. A lunatic is no different.
At the beginning, Qiao Ann’s father was not ready to give up his eldest son and tried every means to treat him. However, after various attempts, Qiao Ann’s madness not only did not weaken, but had a tendency to intensify, and even began to hurt people. Qiao'an's father had to make a decision to cancel Qiao'an's inheritance rights and transfer him to a second son. Qiao'an blamed him and sent him to the lunatic asylum opened by the local False Heart Church.
What makes people feel strange is that after entering the lunatic asylum, Qiao Ann's madness is completely healed. Although his eyes can still see some weird things, those things can no longer affect his mental thinking.
Qiao An’s situation was also known to the dean of the lunatic asylum. This dean was a priest-level priest of the False Heart Church. He felt that Qiao’an’s eyes were the gift of the False Heart, which others could not see, but The things he can see are all products of the imaginary world, so Qiao An definitely has the potential to become a high-ranking priest of False Heart.
Therefore, the dean of the insane asylum personally communicated with Qiao An, and gave Qiao An a letter of recommendation recommending him to study at the headquarters of False Mind in the New World.
For Qiao Ann, who was in despair at the time, being able to leave the ghost place of the lunatic asylum was more important than anything, so he didn't think much about signing a contract with the dean of the lunatic asylum.
However, he never imagined that the headquarters of the False Heart was a more crazy place than the lunatic asylum, because the lunatic asylum had a slightly more normal staff, and anyone in the headquarters of the False Heart was a lunatic.
Qiao An underwent a six-year training at the Headquarters of False Heart. During these six years of training, he did not become a senior clergyman as the dean of the lunatic asylum expected, but became a record-breaking performance A knight of the Order.
Because the results are so good, the False Heart Church intends to send Qiao An to the headquarters in the Old World for further training. Maybe it will be able to cultivate a False Heart Paladin.
But in the end this proposal was rejected. The reason was simple. The paladins trained by the headquarters of the Church of False Heart in the Old World had nothing to do with the New World, and the paladins trained would not be sent to the New World again. Why do you give the talents in your own hands to others?
However, the problem came again afterwards, because although there were a large number of cult knights in the New World, there had never been a paladin, and I did not know how to train a paladin.
In this case, someone thought of a way to send Joan to the paladins of other churches, and ask the paladins of other churches to train them.
I have to say that it is indeed not nonsense that the clergy of the false heart are lunatics. It is definitely not a strange idea for the paladins of other churches to train the paladins for the false heart. Yes, and being able to pass by all members is also not something normal people can do.
In this way, Joan was sent to 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 vain heart had saved his life, and He also helped him in the process of becoming a Paladin, and he owed the favor of the vain heart.
It’s just that it’s not difficult for Capone to train his church knights on the way of paladins. It’s really embarrassing for him to teach a pagan knight to become that pagan paladin. Before thinking of a good way, he could only arrange Qiao An in the patrol team in the church district of Nice City, responsible for the patrol.
Qiao An has been in the patrol for almost a year, and the number of colleagues around him has decreased one by one. In the end, he is left alone. This is not because his patrol suffered any attack that caused personnel losses, but It was his colleagues who either voluntarily moved away from his team, or went crazy directly under his influence.
Although Qiao Ann himself seemed to be not mad at all and normal, but in the eyes of others, he was a madman through and through, and a madman contagious with madness.
Either the gods are chanting some unintelligible sentences all day long, or they are staring straight at people, just like watching monsters.
When other church knights conduct daily worship, he often says some weird words, and these words are nonsense to others, but they seem to be in the ears of some church knights. Hearing the blasphemous words, they instantly aroused their anger and attacked Qiao An.
But the problem is that Qiao Ann is very strong, and often attackers will be defeated by him. Eventually, the incident went to the church united council. After learning that he was a knight of the Order of False Heart, he was accepting Sir Capone from the Rock Church. After the Paladin’s training, this matter will not stop. After all, no one will care about a lunatic, especially when a group of lunatics stand behind that madman, and Sir Capone also has extraordinary prestige in Nice. , Enough to suppress some dissatisfaction.
Because of these various reasons, Qiao Ann eventually became a one-person patrol team, which made Qiao Ann happy, because in this way he would not have to see some weird monsters every night.
Just as Qiao An is a madman in the eyes of other order knights, in Qiao An's eyes, these order knights who look similar to normal people are disguised by monsters, because at night, the true colors of these order knights will be disguised. He sees through.
For example, the church knight of the of the storm is a storm gull with scales, and every scale of this storm gull is covered with pustules.
For another example, the church knight of the of harvest is a pile of mud that constantly changes in shape. The human bones belonging to the knight are tumbling in the mud, and he can even smell the stench emanating from the opponent.
He also tried to tell the church knights what he saw, but any church knight who heard what he said seemed like the biggest secret revealed by others, and attacked him madly, even if It did not recover afterwards.
Therefore, patrolling with other people has always been a huge burden for Qiao An, but this kind of patrol by one person is more suitable for him.
In the past, his patrol route had always been arranged on the Golden Coin Avenue at the junction of the church district and the commercial district, but this time he was switched to the patrol route, and he was arranged to the Boulder Street around the Rock Church.
According to the leader of the patrol team responsible for the dispatch, some people recently tried to steal the top core stone at the top of the Rock Church’s church. It’s just that the Rock Church didn’t like other churches to intervene in their church, so Joan was asked to patrol that area. , If something goes wrong, it's 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 shouldn't embarrass him too much.
Qiao An didn't have any opinion on this, but he accepted it, because the location of the Rock Church is a bit remote, and there are not many people wandering there. In addition, the Rock Church does not regularly convene believers for religious ceremonies like other churches. No believers would gather there, and it would not be too troublesome to patrol alone.
The more important point is that the clergy of the Rock Church are quite good 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 seems to be quite normal, and after a long time it will feel a little naive.
Although, from the bottom of his heart, Qiao An didn’t think anyone would really want to steal that piercing stone, because the piercing stone itself contained very powerful divine power, let alone ordinary thieves, it was as powerful as a paladin. Exist, it is impossible to touch that topstone.
The other is that the core stone is very heavy. According to Sir Capone’s introduction, the weight of the one-person-high core stone can be compared with twenty corundum stones of the same size. It is an object that a normal person can never move. .
However, even if he didn't think so, he was very serious about patrolling every day, and he did catch some thieves, but the targets of those thieves were the shops on both sides of the street, and no one had the idea of hitting the Rock Church church.
However, this situation seems to have changed today, because when he patrolled the main entrance of the Rock Church church, he found two unusual people.
The reason why they are abnormal is that these two people are very normal in his eyes, and they are no different from the people he saw when he was normal before.
You know, even if he looks at ordinary people, he can see some weird things on ordinary people. For example, some people are entangled in black mist, some people are exposed to flames, etc., and the clergy can see some of them directly. Monsters, in his eyes, now this world is a monster's world, even if he looks at himself in the mirror, he is also a monster.
However, just in such a world made up of monsters, two extremely normal people appeared, and it would make people feel weird no matter how they look at it.
Qiao An didn't think that there was any problem with him, because in the street tavern where the two people were, the other people still looked weird in his eyes, and only those two were normal.
He didn’t know how the other party did it. UU Read www.uukanshu.com didn’t know whether the two people had anything to do with the mentioned thief who wanted to steal the Heartstone. He just thought that the two people might be able to help. He, help him solve the problem of his own eyes, so that he can see normal things.
With a hint of expectation and curiosity, Qiao An walked straight to the two of them.
When the people in the small hotel saw Qiao An approaching, they all showed doubts, and then stood up one by one, and hurriedly left without looking back.
Although Qiao Ann has never done anything big, his reputation has spread throughout the church district. After all, not everyone can make the Church knights go crazy inexplicably, so in all the legends about Qiao Ann, the most well-known The legend is that if you stay with Qiao Ann for a long time, you will go crazy, which also makes Qiao Ann like the plague to prevent everyone from approaching him.
Qiao An didn’t pay attention to the attitude 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 did not throw stones at him, and just took the initiative to leave, it was good enough.
At this moment, his attention was completely focused on the man and the woman in front of him. He stared at each other for a long time before he said nonchalantly: "My name is Qiao An, can you help me?"
