Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 87 The Attack Is You
The operation was successful.

When Ethan's sight returned to the study, Bi'an was sweating profusely. She crossed her arms. The fearless Imperial Knight Commander showed a very rare expression of fear. She gasped for a long time before she cried out, "You, you actually attacked the Knight Lord!"

Bi'an never expected that the "surgery" Ethan mentioned would be such a disrespectful act.

She broke her vow, was judged, and excommunicated from the temple.

The procedures for these trials are recorded in the Knight's Handbook, and everyone will learn about the existence of oath breaking on the first day of embarking on the path of knighthood.

That giant hand will take away her power, which is the power from the Lord Knight.

And attacking a true deity is tantamount to declaring war on the Temple of Netheril and even the entire empire!
"He attacked first."

Ethan argued, "This is legitimate defense."

"This is a perverse logic. It has absolutely no legitimacy. The power of the knight is the grace of the lord. He has the power to take it back!"

Bi'an fell into deep fear. If Ethan's actions angered the Lord Knight, she couldn't imagine the wrath of their God. By then, it wouldn't be as simple as just taking away his power.

Divine punishment will affect everyone indiscriminately, and perhaps the entire Ximu Town will be destroyed as a result!
“You have a point, but didn’t you hear what He just said?”

Ethan helped Bi'an analyze the situation from a bystander's perspective. He was always a reasonable person. "If you were still a knight of the temple, I, as your attending physician, would naturally have no right to interfere in your internal affairs. But when He announced that you had been expelled from the temple, the nature of the situation changed - you are already a free man, so as a free man's attending physician, it is normal for me to help the patient get back what was stolen, right?"

He had his own theory, "When I took action, you were no longer a member of the Temple, so this matter is completely a personal dispute."

This can be considered as a good deed of the level of bravery and righteousness. As the saying goes, when seeing injustice, one should draw one's sword and help. This is one of the good virtues of a knight. The great Lord Knight should praise his behavior.

"Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

Bi'an felt that Ethan was much crazier than any evil god fanatic she had ever seen. Those evil god fanatics only performed some sacrifices and anti-imperial behaviors, but Ethan directly attacked a righteous god!

"I'm not afraid now."

In the past two years, Ethan has been extremely cautious, precisely because there are many legends about divine punishment circulating among the people, and he is afraid of being targeted by the gods.

However, a series of recent experiences changed his mind. He asked, "If there really was divine punishment, would the empire have fallen to the point where it is today?"

The knights and the Church both believe in the righteous God, and they all promote values ​​that are full of positive energy. So if there really is divine punishment, Ethan thinks that the first wave of people to be struck by lightning will be the current Pope and those nobles who have been blinded by power.

If there really was divine punishment, the evil god's followers should have been struck to death by lightning the moment they performed human sacrifices. He would not have had to go deep into the third level of the contaminated area and get into so much trouble. He had witnessed with his own eyes a group of evil god's followers shouting "The righteous god is dead" on the second level. Those people turned Riverside Town into a hell on earth, but they were not punished by God.

Ethan actually hopes that he lives in a world with divine punishment. If everyone is a good person full of positive energy, he can also peacefully follow his original plan and find a way to go to the capital to get a clerical job and save money for retirement.

Therefore, he had to wonder, "Will those upright gods only engage in infighting? They set up rules and regulations for those who believe in them and strike hard, but turn a blind eye to the followers of the evil gods and those who slander them?"

If that was the case, then Ethan felt that, to be blunt, he was attacking them. Anyway, he was an out-and-out atheist before crossing over, and elemental magic was one of the few extraordinary paths that did not require belief in any gods.

The relationship between him and the elemental elves is more like that of close friends, the kind where when one is in trouble, all others will come to his aid.

"Ethan, Ethan! These are the words of a follower of the evil god..."

Ivy whispered a reminder from the side. The golden hair on her head had already hidden away out of fear, fearing that it would be struck by the divine punishment when it came.

No, she felt that the term "evil god believers" was not enough to describe Ethan's remarks just now. Even when those vicious evil god believers were sent to the execution platform, they would only resent the corruption of the empire and the various injustices that had happened to them in the past, and they never directly questioned the righteous God.

This is simply the evil god himself! If those people in the church heard this, they would tie Ethan to the stake and burn him for ten days and ten nights!
"That's wrong. I always treat everyone equally."

Ethan waved his hand. “Before attacking the Lord Knight, I had already attacked Bazatos.”

This fully proves that he is a fair and objective person. He will never ignore the various anti-human sacrificial rituals of the evil god's believers and become a follower of the evil god just because he has witnessed the corruption of the empire.

He also hated the followers of the evil god and felt that neither side was a good thing.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. This guy actually called out the name of one of the evil gods!
Not only is Ethan not afraid of God's punishment, he is not even afraid of the curse of the evil god. He seems to attack every god equally and neutrally!
Bi'an couldn't help but ask, "How did you attack the evil god? Did you insult him, or kill his believers?"

"I used fireball to blind His eyes."

Bi'an and Ivy looked at each other, wondering in their hearts that this guy was truly an outlaw!
Ethan said, "But now is not the time to discuss me, Knight Commander, how do you feel now? Was the operation successful?"

"Let me try."

Bi'an was in mixed emotions, she could no longer feel the presence of the Lord Knight, the judgment for breaking her oath had come, and she had been expelled from the Sept. of Netheril.

However, when she tried to gather the energy, the silvery-white light appeared again.

The divine light condensed into a sphere in her palm, which could still help her calm down even without the protection of the Lord Knight.

However, in that pure silver-white light, there seemed to be a hint of something unusual.

She clearly saw the blazing golden flame burning in the very center of the ball of light.

The sudden abnormality did not cause her any discomfort, but the throbbing in her heart made her dazed.

An indescribable emotion surges in the heart of the other side, sacred and close.

It was like facing the Knight Lord himself.
