"Do we need the relevant aura?" Upon hearing this, the shepherd immediately thought of a place that might possess the aura of the god Nia.
According to the witch, in the early days of the Holy Kingdom of Nya, most people lived near a city.
At that time, Nia also had conflicts with the nobles.
That place is now the capital of the only kingdom.
"So, are we going to the capital next?" Both of them had their own thoughts at this moment.
The soldier wanted to rescue the princess and marry her rightfully.
This process is very difficult; the first challenge is facing the king and queen.
He needs their approval.
Secondly, during this process, there will definitely be brave individuals who cause trouble.
These heroes all acted with the idea that killing this 'monster' who used witchcraft would bring them fame and fortune.
In fact, the same was true for the soldiers before them.
He once wanted to kill the monster and receive the fairy's blessing to gain great power.
Finally, use this power to become a hero.
Although the status of a hero may not be as high as that of a prince, he is still a hero that everyone envies.
Therefore, his conspicuous appearance in front of others inevitably attracts the attention of heroes.
“I not only need great power, but also a way to make the king and queen put aside their status and morality.”
"Let's go to the city first. We need to make our purpose clear and, incidentally, rescue my fellow villagers."
After all, they took the princess away from the city, so they still need to step forward and take over the responsibility.
Meanwhile, the soldiers also wanted to try to persuade the king and queen to formally marry the princess to help her out of her coma.
If he could, he would be willing to let the king and his men do as they pleased after the marriage.
Having confirmed this, the two of them returned to the city openly and legitimately.
This appearance immediately attracted a large number of people.
Although the soldiers had been transformed into wild beasts, they were quickly recognized because of their clothes and the shepherds around them.
Some people wanted to become heroes, and they attacked the soldiers.
Unfortunately, the soldier had already mastered the Curse of Beastly Desire, which, when applied to himself, granted him powerful combat abilities.
The soldier was already quite strong, but now he was like a monster.
Those who aspire to be heroes are often paralyzed with fear by a single glance from a soldier.
The shepherd had judged that even if he summoned a large dog with eyes like waterwheels, he might not be able to defeat the soldiers.
To win, it's highly likely that only the Round Tower Big Dog can achieve it.
Furthermore, the soldiers were also studying this beast-like curse along the way, and according to them, his strength would only grow stronger.
With continued practice, he will be able to arouse more and more of his animalistic desires.
As for where the limit is, that depends on how many people in this world believe that physical desire is an immoral force.
"And I've gradually mastered the method of cursing others." The soldier seemed to have a vague understanding.
It was precisely at this moment, before they even entered the city, that a large number of guards surrounded them.
In addition, a tall and handsome prince with blond hair and blue eyes appeared not far away.
He looked at the soldier, a flash of anger in his eyes.
"Tell me, you vile beast, where have you hidden the princess!"
Chapter 579 Impossible
Clearly, the first wave of princes has arrived.
Their eyes burned with a thirst for power, a greed for fame and fortune, and a desire for the pleasure of possessing beautiful women, but they lacked any compassion for saving people.
Because of the magic of 'in the name of God', moral laws had little effect on 'punishing' nobles.
This meant that, unless the nobles harbored particularly evil intentions, their appearance would not be affected.
On the contrary, because of their social status and morals, they can receive a great boost as long as they have even a little bit of kindness.
In addition, with their good bloodlines, they naturally all looked radiant and beautiful.
Often, a little kindness from someone in power or influence will be met with a lot of sycophancy.
Even without kindness, as long as one does not actively commit evil, or does not go to extremes when committing evil.
Then some people will conclude that 'this person isn't so bad after all'.
This conclusion will then be further explored, leading to the discovery that these people possess truth, goodness, and beauty.
As for the mistakes he made in the past, those were just because he was young and naive, and there's no need to delve into his problems.
Conversely, when ordinary people do good deeds, they are often accused of having ulterior motives.
This is the importance of identity.
The same thing can yield completely different results depending on how you do it and how others do it.
Although the prince is like this now, he is, in the eyes of ordinary people, doing a 'good deed,' which is why he appears so brave and extraordinary.
Upon seeing this, the beast grinned, appearing exceptionally ferocious.
The soldier instantly transformed into a black shadow, tossing the prince aside.
The opponent's blessings are not bad, and they possess decent combat abilities.
If it were soldiers from the past, they would probably have been defeated by the enemy in just a few moves.
But things are different now. When soldiers get serious, they feel that most people are no different from people in slow motion.
The prince was the same; the other party had some kind of protective aura, and his speed and strength were not low, but he was defeated in a single blow after the prince got close.
"The reason is that witchcraft directly mobilizes the power of the masses."
“Once witchcraft is touched, one can acquire most people’s moral thoughts in this area at an extremely fast pace.”
It's not just about everyone's current understanding and thoughts about physical desires; everything that has happened throughout history will be incorporated into the realm of morality.
The perception of dividing a matter into immoral and moral categories.
Witchcraft, on the other hand, utilizes the power of the morality that has been broken down.
In a sense, this is about pooling the power of the masses.
And blessings, in many cases, are simply blessings for the bright spots.
Although it also utilized, to some extent, everyone's sense of moral commitment.
However, aside from those top-tier fairies who can mobilize a large amount of positive feedback, the rest still require individual self-realization.
"The blessing and protection bestowed upon this prince is not weak, but the problem lies in his extremely weak understanding of the moral realm behind this blessing."
"This weakness cannot support stronger forces."
After coming into contact with witchcraft, it's like to perceive the world from a completely different perspective.
It is very easy to discover the underlying moral connections between things.
"No wonder those wizards, in addition to their own special magic, also possess all sorts of special powers," the soldier thought to himself.
He wasn't particularly intelligent, but after coming into contact with witchcraft and gaining an understanding of the moral realm, he discovered that he might also be able to develop some special witchcraft.
For example, at this moment, after thinking for a moment, the soldier pointed at the prince.
"If you cannot control your lust during your recovery period, you will feel excruciating pain!" the soldier said, uttering a curse.
Starting from carnal desires, the power is no longer limited to animalistic behavior, but is used to evoke related moral forces.
If the prince disobeys, he will unleash the moral force within him, causing him to feel pain.
This curse is essentially just a restriction. As long as the prince becomes more abstinent and his health improves, the curse will naturally dissipate.
In terms of strength, it is completely incomparable to the 'chastity' curse on the princess.
The curse on the princess carries a certain inevitability, which to some extent compels her to inevitably commit a transgression.
So powerful that it almost sealed the fate of the princess as she approached adulthood, for she would inevitably encounter something similar and fall into the curse.
Even without soldiers approaching, the princess would eventually break her chastity in other ways, and her being trapped in a curse was an unavoidable future.
This is what makes top-tier witchcraft so terrifying: they start from the realm of morality and begin to interfere with the fundamental rules of this world using moral principles.
The soldiers at this point are still far from adequate.
However, he also gradually began to embark on this path of studying witchcraft.
Seeing how easily the soldiers defeated the powerful prince, the guards who had been poised to surround him hesitated.
One of the advantages of being a 'monster' is this.
Because they are basically the epitome of morality, everyone knows that monsters and witches exist, and that they kill without blinking an eye.
Once they acquire these individuals wielding witchcraft, death might be the easiest thing to do; being cursed and subjected to various forms of torture should be their next concern.
Therefore, once it is confirmed that the monster is difficult to defeat, others will start to 'revere' it out of fear, and may even try to please it to some extent.
Of course, their contempt for these monsters didn't diminish in the slightest.
At this moment, the king and queen arrived with even more guards.
"You monster, where have you taken my daughter? She's so ugly..." The king glanced at the prince lying motionless by the roadside, and swallowed the insults he was about to utter.
"I have figured out the curse on the princess and found a way to break it." The soldier then explained how to lift the curse and seriously offered his suggestion—that he and the princess should have a formal wedding, and then the princess would wake up.
"Impossible!" These three words were spoken with absolute certainty, and the king uttered them almost immediately after hearing the conditions.
“If that’s the case, it’s better to let her go!” The king seemed to notice something as well, and he swallowed the last two syllables of ‘dead’.
After those three words, "Impossible," he sensed the killing intent emanating from the soldiers.
"I wonder if it would work if I killed the king, seized the throne myself, and then used the throne to marry myself." This thought arose with murderous intent.
However, the soldiers eventually gave up because they couldn't be sure of success.
He is not the kind of person who only cares about himself and ignores others.
Chapter 580 Blessing Magic
“No nobles can accept someone as morally corrupt as you,” the king said seriously.
"It's not just me, it's the same for the entire kingdom."
The king was not lying. Although they were kings, they were only dukes, and their titles were only dukes.
The essence of this title is a substantial inheritance of power.
The monarchy is divinely ordained, and the power of the nobility is a force that flows down from the monarchy.
This power is considered a moral exemplar.
There once was a queen who was very charming. After the king died, she governed the country and was recognized by the people. However, Snow White, the daughter of the king and the former queen, was not satisfied.
Believing that she was the one who should hold power, Snow White secretly escaped from the palace and began an affair with a prince from a neighboring country.
With the help of the other party, the queen's secret mastery of witchcraft was exposed.
Immediately, the surrounding countries raised troops and began to attack.
Although Snow White eventually became queen, most of the country's territory fell to neighboring countries.
The prince then became the new king.
The kingdom was deeply wary of the possibility that those who possessed witchcraft might wield state power.
Once a soldier becomes the princess's husband, he will have the right to inherit the throne.
This gave neighboring countries an excuse to directly attack his territory.
Therefore, any nobleman could secretly collaborate with a witch to achieve his goals through witchcraft.
