Chapter 464: The Prince's Revenge
The girl who was hunted down by the servant army scouts of the Holy Light Alliance was a typical Western beauty.
She had shoulder-length blonde hair that was slightly curly and shimmered with a beautiful sheen of gold in the moonlight. The eyes are clear and turquoise, like young leaves and sprouts stained with dew in the morning.
She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her delicate and beautiful face looked a little green.
She is of medium height, and her breasts are not as huge as those of ordinary Western beauties, and the scale only looks like Chu Lingfeng, the kind that can be completely covered with one palm. However, her waist and hips are excellent, and her legs are extraordinarily slender.
She wore a tattered sleeveless linen blouse, a short gray animal skin skirt underneath, and a pair of deerskin boots with holes in the toes of her shoes that exposed half of her hallux.
This nondescript outfit makes it seem that the girl's living situation is not very satisfactory.
And judging from her bare, well-proportioned legs and arms, the girl had undergone a considerable amount of exercise. The aura emanating from her body did not look like a weak person, at least at the level of a sixth-level warrior.
However, how could a mere sixth-level warrior escape under a group of elite scouts with an average level of around eighth?
Even if she was eventually caught up, looking at the appearance of her and the group of scouts, it was clear that she had been chased in the jungle for a long time.
Unless this girl has any other abilities besides being a warrior of about level six.
Li Qing looked the girl up and down for a while, until the girl was seen by his eyes, shrunk and hugged her shoulders, showing a timid appearance, he smiled and said, "Tell me, beautiful young lady, who are you?" Why was he hunted down by the scouts of the Holy Light Alliance in the Empire? ”
"I, my name is Flora......" the girl said nervously, "I am the princess of the kingdom of Lavinia......"
"Kingdom of Lavinia?" Li Qing interrupted the girl's words and looked at the little dragon girl with inquiring eyes.
"The West is a small country." Xiaolongnu said: "The land area is less than 10,000 square kilometers. However, the geographical environment is very good, surrounded by mountains, and in the center is a fertile basin plain. Abundant precipitation, the four seasons are like spring. Of course, none of this is important, the important thing is that this small kingdom was destroyed by the Holy Light Alliance more than a hundred years ago. ”
Li Qing nodded, and smiled at the girl named Flora, who claimed to be the princess of the Lavinia Kingdom, and said, "It turns out that the Lavinia Kingdom has perished more than a hundred years ago!" So where did this lovely young lady, your so-called princess, come from? Don't tell me, you've traveled over a hundred years ago! ”
"No, it's not!" Flora tugged at the corners of her clothes, and her nervous voice began to tremble: "My country was indeed destroyed by the evil Holy Light Alliance more than a hundred years ago, but, but not all members of the royal family were killed.
"My great-grandfather, the youngest prince of the royal family at the time, Prince Salma, who was only five years old at the time of his death, escaped under the escort of eight loyal royal knights......"
According to Flora's account, the five-year-old prince of Salma, after fleeing under the escort of eight royal knights, absconded all the way out of the sphere of influence of the Holy Light Alliance, and lived incognito in a small country that was not controlled by the Holy Light Alliance.
The deceased prince of a small country, who is only five years old, will not have any thoughts of recovering the kingdom even if there are eight loyal royal knights around him. Even the eight loyal royal knights never instilled in the prince Salma the idea of revenge or revenge.
Because the power of the Holy Light Alliance is too great, it is basically unrealistic to restore the country and take revenge.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the little prince should forget his former identity from now on, grow up plainly with a new identity, and live honestly for the rest of his life.
But the problem is that the royal family of the kingdom of Lavinia is not ordinary people. They are the descendants of the goddess of sprouts.
The Goddess of Sprouts is just a small god with weak divine powers, who only spreads faith in the Kingdom of Lavinia, which is equivalent to the protector god of the Kingdom of Lavinia.
And the reason why the kingdom fell was also because the goddess of sprouts refused the invitation of the Lord of Radiance, and was unwilling to give up her priesthood and become an ordinary oracle under the Lord of Light.
All gods who are conquered by the Lord of Radiance must renounce the priesthood of a qiē. And a god who has no priesthood, unless he transcends the barrier of belief in the god and is promoted to an ancient god who does not rely on faith and is not bound by faith, he can only be the weakest demigod forever, and there is basically no possibility of progress.
All gods who were unwilling to give up their priesthood and acted as demigods under the command of the Lord of Radiance were destroyed by the Lord of Light. The Goddess of Sprouts was no exception, and was deprived of her priesthood by the Lord of Radiance. The kingdom of Lavinia on its earth, which was also invaded and destroyed by the Holy Light Alliance.
If a person who believes in a god is deprived of the priesthood, and the believers are killed, and the doctrine is forbidden to spread, then the god must fall. But a fallen God is not impossible to resurrect.
As long as someone remembers the name of the god, establishes a church for it, spreads the faith, and develops the faith, then when the number of believers reaches a certain size, it is possible for this god to be resurrected.
But God rarely succeeds in resurrection.
Not only on Earth 2, but also in a large number of planes known to Su Su, there are very few cases of successful resurrection of fallen gods.
On the one hand, after the believers have been killed, the canons have been burned, and the doctrines have been banned, the forgetful mortals will soon forget the traces of the existence of the god.
Even the existence of God has been forgotten, how can anyone rebuild a church for it, spread the faith, and develop believers?
On the other hand, in a world where there is a true god and a god can display power, a god will be killed by all the believers, the canon will be burned, and the teachings will be forbidden, then there must be a more powerful hostile god.
With an enemy god eyeing him, which fallen god will have a chance to be resurrected?
Even if someone in the mortal world remembers its god name, once they make a move to rebuild the church, they will immediately attract a thunderous blow from the church of the enemy god and cut the grass to the roots.
Unfortunately, Prince Salma is the "root" that must be eradicated.
In fact, Prince Salma, who is only five years old, after losing his royal education and losing a qiē allusion, he who is often mentioned in his ears will definitely gradually forget the goddess of sprouts.
The eight loyal knights who guarded him would not mention the Sprout Goddess for the sake of the prince's safety, let alone help her rebuild the church.
But the problem is that although the Goddess of Sprouts has fallen, her blood is still flowing in the royal family of the Kingdom of Lavinia.
As a prince, Salma naturally has the blood of the goddess of sprouts flowing in her body.
However, the royal family that has been passed down for many generations, and the blood of the goddess is already quite thin. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to awaken.
But perhaps it was the blessing of the royal family and the slaughtered faithful when the kingdom fell—or it could be a grudge, or perhaps the last blessing of the goddess of sprouts when she fell—but it could still be a resentment, and when the prince of Salma was eight years old, he actually awakened the divine bloodline.
The concentration of bloodlines is quite high, and judging from the various miracles it displays, it is even no less than the first generation of biological gods of the goddess of sprouts recorded in the classics.
When the divine bloodline is awakened, all kinds of supernatural powers are self-evident, and all kinds of knowledge are also understood.
Prince Salma remembered the name of the goddess of sprouts and knew the teachings of the goddess sprouts without a teacher. In three years of peaceful life, the hatred of the country that Ben gradually forgot also came to his heart.
To be honest, a five-year-old child, even if he experienced the tragedy of the loss of the country, witnessed the tragedy of his relatives and people being slaughtered, and after three years of ordinary life, he should have forgotten almost everything.
Even if you never forget it, this hatred cannot be so deep, it cannot be strong enough to take revenge.
But the Divine Bloodline is different. After the awakening of the Divine Bloodline, the wisdom leaps forward, and the memory is greatly strengthened, and all the memories since the birth of the eyes can be reproduced in the mind.
Memory is a burden, and memories that are too clear and vivid are even more unbearable.
The eight-year-old prince Salma recalls the ordinary but happy life with his relatives before the age of five, the beautiful idyllic scenery of the small kingdom, the hard and fulfilling work of the people, the joy and happiness of the harvest, and the harvest festival and the birthday of the gods that the whole country celebrates every year......
He also recalled that the army of the Holy Light Alliance invaded the small kingdom, and the Kingdom Guard, which was only more than 1,000 people, resisted bravely but was brutally killed, and the people who volunteered to resist the enemy used farm tools and wooden sticks to resist the knights like tigers and wolves in vain, and were torn apart by heavy swords and lay helplessly in a pool of blood......
Memories of the enemy army attacking the royal city, destroying the temple of the goddess, slaughtering priests and believers, recalling the father and queen mother who went into battle and commanded the knights, servants and even maids of the royal palace, resisting the powerful guardian knights in front of the palace gates, and falling in a pool of blood one by one......
The vivid memories of those scenes are either happy, tragic, calm, or intense...... Stimulated by these memories, the little prince who awakened the divine bloodline, at the age of only eight, had become as calm and wise as an adult, and at the same time had extremely dangerous thoughts.
Resurrect the Goddess of Sprouts, restore the country, and take revenge.
Prince Salma begins to establish a secret church to resurrect the goddess of sprouts, the patron saint of the kingdom must first be resurrected in a world where there is a true god. And it takes money, a lot of money, to build a church.
The prince sent out eight of his loyal knights to be adventurers, mercenaries, and earn money by taking on missions. He himself also used his brain, and with the wisdom brought by the awakening of the divine bloodline, he tried to learn to do business and make money.
I have to say that the Divine Bloodline is indeed a jealous being. Not only can he cultivate both magic and martial arts, but he can learn any combat skills quickly, and even he is smarter than ordinary people in business. Prince Salma first went as an apprentice to help in a shop and secretly learned how to do business. Then step by step, he entered a larger commercial house and chamber of commerce to study.
A few years later, with the money earned by the knights, as well as the money he had saved over the years, the prince opened a shop. It took another ten years to develop the shop into a trading house, a chamber of commerce, and even a few seagoing vessels.
With the funds, the church, which had been secretly prepared for more than ten years, also opened secretly.
Under the cover of the Chamber of Commerce, Prince Salma took advantage of the opportunity to travel around to visit like-minded people who hated the Radiant Church, and absorbed the disappointed, loser, and excluded under the rule of the Radiant Church. Recruit secret believers from it and spread the teachings of the Sprout Goddess.
His actions are very cautious, and every believer must go through strict investigation and testing before he can be attracted to it. He also never comes into contact with potential believers in person. Even when the church had more than 2,000 loyal members, his identity was not revealed.
Even believers don't know that Prince Salma is the real pope of the Sprout Church.
Externally, Prince Salma is the master of the Great Chamber of Commerce, a genius businessman, and a wealthy man who makes money every day. He even befriended many of the powerful people of the Holy Light Alliance. Secretly, Prince Salma is a powerful god who seeks to resurrect the goddess, restore the kingdom of Fù, and even subvert the Avengers of the Radiant Holy Cult.
He disguised everything well, and no one knew his true identity or his true intentions except for the eight loyal knights who accompanied him all the time. Even his wife and children didn't know about it.
Prince Salma lurks patiently, constantly developing the secret church, cultivating talents, cultivating the strong, and patiently waiting for the resurrection of the goddess. He was even ready to spend his life fulfilling the plan of the Resurrection Goddess - even though he would have an extremely long lifespan after the Divine Bloodline was awakened.
Unfortunately, Prince Salma was eventually exposed.
When he was sixty-five years old, when he was meeting with an important business partner in the Tampas Business Alliance, an important member of the Holy Light Alliance, he accidentally encountered Morpheus, one of the thirteen Radiant Knights of the Radiant Holy Cult.
The Great Sage Morpheus is one of the thirteen Radiant Knights with the weakest personal combat power. But at the same time, he is the most terrifying of the thirteen Radiant Knights.
His "true eye" can see through a qiē disguise. His "omniscient foresight", legend has it that he can even see the future.
The Great Sage Morpheus saw through at a glance the divine bloodline that Prince Salma had been hiding seamlessly. But he did not expose it at the time, but quietly investigated and laid it out.
It wasn't until half a year later that the great sage Morpheus, who had prepared a qiē, finally launched a thunderous blow.
Salma's chamber of commerce was shut down, the secret church that had been painstakingly run for half a lifetime was uprooted, every secret stronghold was destroyed, and all the preparatory clergy, believers, and the strong people who had been painstakingly cultivated were all slaughtered, and no one survived. All members of the General Chamber of Commerce, suspected of possible involvement in Prince Salma's schemes, were also sentenced to death by hanging.
The wealth that the prince had accumulated for half his life to restore the kingdom had all fallen into the hands of the Radiant Holy Sect.
The prince himself was also killed by Baal the "Shadow Blade" in the Thirteen Knights of Radiance. All eight of his loyal knights were killed in battle. His family was also slaughtered.
Only one bastard, unknown to outsiders, not even the eight loyal knights, escaped.
And that illegitimate child is obviously the last hand left by Prince Salma.
For this reason, he even erased his own memory, and even he did not remember having an illegitimate child.
The illegitimate son, of course, didn't know who his father was.
The illegitimate mother, the daughter of an ordinary miller, also did not know who her son's father was.
It stands to reason that it seems useless to leave such an illegitimate child.
But the reason why Prince Salma made such an arrangement was because he firmly believed that once his family was killed, then his illegitimate son would definitely awaken the divine bloodline with the blessing of the kingdom and the goddess, and automatically understand all the qiē.
The prince of Salma was right, and the illegitimate son awakened the divine bloodline shortly after the death of the Salma family. Just like Prince Salma, from the divine bloodline, he knows a qiē without learning and self-explanatory.
He even inherited one of Salma's memories directly from his bloodline. About the kingdom, about the kingdom, about what Salma hated......
That illegitimate child was Flora's grandfather.
And after the awakening of the Divine Bloodline, stimulated by the memories of inheritance, he made the same move as Salma - determined to resurrect the goddess, restore the kingdom of Fù, and take revenge on the Radiant Holy Cult. The first is to raise funds and establish a secret church.
He had no loyal knightly guard, and his mother was just an ordinary woman who inherited the miller's grandfather's little mill.
But he inherited Salma's knowledge and grew the small mill from scratch, opening shops, building a commercial house, and building a chamber of commerce...... After earning the money, he established a secret church, and in short, he repeated once again what his father had done.
He even did better than his father, the Chamber of Commerce grew bigger, made more money, and the secret church grew smoothly. Because of his innocent origins, he has never aroused anyone's suspicions.
But he was still exposed.
This time, it wasn't that the great sage saw through it. He had learned from his father's lesson, and at all times, he always remembered not to meet the high-ranking members of the Radiant Holy Sect. He has been doing this very well.
However, it is precisely because he has done so well and the secret church has developed so smoothly that the Goddess of Sprouts has actually shown signs of resurrection!
But every qiē in the heavens is under the control of the Lord of Radiance. The powerful god, who claimed to be the one god, soon found signs of the resurrection of the goddess of sprouts. So the oracle was issued, and the great sage Morpheus personally went out, and with the cooperation of the church, he made a secret visit and found out the truth in two years.
So the qiē that had happened to Prince Salma once again befell Flora's grandfather.
That year, Flora's grandfather was seventy-five years old, and Flora was less than half a year old.
"Grandfather was killed by the immortal bird Tanovi. My grandmother, my father, my uncle, my aunt, my uncle, my aunt, my uncle's husband...... All the brothers and sisters of the same generation were killed, without sparing. My mother, a former Guardian Knight of the Church of Radiance, relied on her familiarity with the methods of the Church of Radiance to escape the siege with me......"
When Flora said this, Li Qing and the others were all surprised, and they all asked, "Your mother is actually still the guardian knight of the Radiant Holy Sect?" No, that's, isn't it? ”
"yes, it's incredible. How is this possible? Your grandfather is an avenger determined to overthrow the Cult of Radiance! How could he allow his son to marry an aphar knight? ”
"Can an Apologetic Knight get married too? Aren't they all fanatical followers who have spent their lives serving the Lord of Light? How can you marry a worldly man? "He had learned from his father's lesson, and at all times, he always remembered not to meet the high-ranking members of the Radiant Holy Sect. He has been doing this very well.
