Act XXVI

Organon, the capital of the Commonwealth of Wendland and the largest city of the Commonwealth, is located on the Great Plains of Soramis and has a warm climate, making it one of the largest cities in the southern part of the continent.

The Commonwealth of Wendland is not actually a complete country, it is a federation of thirteen provinces, each province has independent executive and legislative jurisdiction, the supreme center of power is the federal parliament, each province occupies the seat of parliament according to the size of the population, and the speaker is elected by the general election, in fact, in the general election, the supporting provinces have more members.

It's been a day since they arrived in Ogalon, and Lawson and Ain have booked two rooms in the hotel, and they are not traveling, but are sorting out the existing information.

The information provided by Serad Sprot is significant, as it indicates that the cultist's de facto leader, Greven Issarios, known as the Lord of the Shadows, has somehow grasped Rosen's whereabouts.

Although it is not difficult to know some clues if the intelligence network is developed, Rosen has seen very few people along the way, and he needs to figure out whether the other side knows his true identity or is just guessing.

I have to say that in terms of manipulating people's hearts, the cultists' power is still very strong, and they can accurately grasp the darkest part of people's hearts, so that they can be used for their own purposes, and Serrad, who has become a pawn to test Rosen, is the best example.

Lawson is in an extremely complex magic circle at this time, around the circle, a string of runes are extinguished, restraining the power from leaking, this is the spell that Lawson usually uses to hide his breath, which can last for several days, under the effect, even high-level breath detection spells have no way to detect Lawson within a range of five hundred yards, and it is perfect to avoid the infestation of those void monsters.

After a few breaths, the light of the circle gradually dimmed, and Lawson stood up, came to the door of Ain's room, and knocked lightly.

"Please come in. ”

Ain was flipping through a book in his room, and Rosen noticed that it was a history book.

"It's a strange thing that is a thing of the past for you, but a future that hasn't happened for me. ”

Noticing Rosen's gaze, Ain shook the book in his hand.

Most of their series of trips after escaping from Ramirez Cathedral four years ago have been separated from the world, and Rosen has sealed his mobile terminal, so Ain's understanding of this world is still stuck in a thousand years ago, except for learning about the history from Rosen's mouth.

In Ain's mind, a country like Wendran seemed to be new, she only knew that the Elven Court, Greenwich, and Astel had existed during the Holy War, and even the Northern Orlinsian Alliance was foreign to her.

The world that Al Yin remembered was a world of knights singing, trumpets blaring, flags, people discussing magic and swordsmanship, and feasting every night, not now, people dressed in ceremonial clothes, walking the streets on all sorts of strange vehicles, talking about money and transactions, even if they lived next door, they were indifferent.

"You still have a long time to understand this. ”

Rosen nodded, he could probably understand Ain's thoughts, after all, he himself had traveled over time, and it took a lot of time to adapt to various things here.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Al Yin asked with a smile as she placed the book on the table.

"I took a look at the forum, and the Wendland Federation doesn't seem to be at peace lately, there have been several bad incidents, people are blaming the Speaker more and more, and if I'm not mistaken, maybe there are people behind this. ”

Rosen couldn't help but say the word trolls, on the forum, there are many posts about the recent turmoil in the Wendland Federation, some of which should be posted by ordinary people themselves, and some of them are obviously organized, but because the Internet is still a new thing in this world, many concepts that have been relatively mature on the earth have not yet been developed in this world, so these trolls can create a huge appearance and fool the onlookers who don't know the truth.

To put it simply, just as if primitive man was given the ability to make steel, then primitive man would only use it to make hammers and would not think of making muskets.

Of course, Rosen has no intention of caring about these trolls at the moment, on the one hand, he wants to see how far these people can go, on the other hand, the driving force behind the scenes has not yet surfaced, and he needs to wait and see what happens.

"Recently, there have indeed been a lot of injuries in this country, and cultists have wantonly caused chaos and killed many innocent lives. ”

When Al Yin was staying at the hotel, he heard the guests discussing these incidents, and it can be said that this was the most turbulent period in the Wendland Federation in many years, with horrific cultist incidents in various provinces, and more importantly, some high-ranking cultists were exposed and wreaked havoc, causing huge losses.

What is even more serious is the test of people's hearts, for a while, people in the Wendland Federation were panicked, everyone was afraid that other people around them were hidden cultists, and some provinces even introduced legal measures against reporting cultists, and some people took advantage of the chaos to attack hostile people, causing a storm in the city.

Although to some extent, Wendelan did exterminate many cultists who had been hidden for a long time and dealt a huge blow to the forces of chaos, but more often than not, the people fell into chaos, which was not conducive to maintaining stability.

As for Speaker Wendland, he advocated that the masses should face the cultists rationally, not to be carried away by anger and sadness, and not to believe rumors, from Rosen's point of view, there is indeed no problem with his proposition, and it is the most correct choice at the moment, but in the eyes of the people, this is a manifestation of inaction.

They hoped that the leaders would be tougher and banish the cultists from Wendland outright, rather than so moderate.

This appeal is out of anger and out of fear.

Most of the comments on the forum were like this, with one side accusing the speaker of weakness and the other exhorting everyone to calm down, and the final debate lasted for hundreds of posts.

Perhaps in the minds of most Wendlanders, perhaps only the previous Speaker, who led the invasion of many small countries, including the Kingdom of Aster, was the leader who met expectations.

"I always think that the cultists will do something about this, and it seems that we need to find a channel to contact the speaker who has been attacked by public opinion. ”

Rosen said, suddenly thinking of someone.
