The Behemoth of Ixavier Chapter 17: The Demon God of Deception
"Could it be that she did all this on purpose to become a queen?" Ah Gu wondered, how could such scheming appear to a young girl.
"No, even now, I don't believe that the Queen Mother could be a scheming wicked person.
During her first year as our mother, she treated us like her own children, and even her brother, who was only three years younger than her, held her with great respect.
My brother always told me that my little sister and I must listen to my mother, and that was the happiest year since my mother's death.
My father was always smiling, and my mother was taking us to distribute food and winter clothes to the poor beggars.
I didn't forget to tell my brother to think about the people of the country in the future, and when we grow up, we will let everyone in the country have food and be a benevolent monarch. ”
Abt's eyes were full of tears, and his shoulders twitched, pitiful.
Ah Gu looked at this fourteen or fifteen-year-old child crying sadly, and his heart didn't feel good, he was just a child!
Ah Gu didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to pat him on the shoulder.
Bones had heard from Dalles that he also had a sister who had been taken away by a mysterious friend of his father two years earlier, and that his sister was a rare gifted person.
Abt regained his spirits and continued: "Although the queen mother has been very kind to us, the queen mother has always wanted to have a child of her own with her father.
But two years have passed, and the queen mother and father have not been able to have a child of their own. They exhausted all means until they found the Bishop of the Temple of Life.
The Bishop told us that she was born with an incomplete uterus, a birth defect in which the mother's nutrients could not be transmitted to the fetus through the umbilical cord.
Even the highest level of life magic could not cure this innate physical absence.
The queen mother was very sad, and even if her father tried his best to comfort him, she couldn't get her out of the pain.
Until one day, a missionary came to the royal city, and he said that he came from the distant Mont San Periro, where the Great Mercy of Our Lady gazed.
It can give hope to parents who are unable to have children. Simply pray in the shrine of Mont San Pyro and you will be blessed by the Mother Goddess.
The Queen Mother asked him where St. Peter's Hill was, and the missionary told her that she was on another continent.
As the queen of a country, how could she leave her subjects behind and go to another continent.
Moreover, no one in the kingdom has ever been to another continent, not to mention the hardships and dangers of trekking. The queen mother was even more desperate because of this.
Eventually, the missionary said that he was moved by the Queen's desire for a child, and he decided to give him the statue of the Virgin that he had brought with him. As long as the queen mother prays diligently every day, she will also get what she wants.
The Queen Mother wanted to give him money to thank him for his gift.
Unexpectedly, the missionary refused all the possessions, saying only that he would preach the Gospel of Our Lady to more people, and then left the royal city.
From that day on, the queen mother prayed every day in the hope of having a child of her own as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, six months ago, the news of the queen mother's pregnancy really came. ”
Ah Gu asked suspiciously: "Isn't that a happy event?"
"If only that were the case.
Five months ago, the queen mother suddenly said that she wanted to eat edelweiss, which is a unique species in the black pine forest, with scarce numbers and delicate meat, which is indeed a rare delicacy.
It's just that the queen mother never greedy, and the most common thing to eat is vegetarian food, and we just lose our appetite when the queen mother is pregnant and wants to taste something fresh.
The elder brother said that he would go hunting for the queen himself, so he took some guards and set off. It's just that he never came back, and his father went there several times in person, but he didn't find his brother.
Then not long after, my father also had a serious illness and has been unconscious ever since.
His father's body was getting thinner and thinner, and his eyes were getting a little black. Not only could the doctors of the royal palace not find out what the cause was, but even the bishop of the Temple of Life could not do anything. Just tell us that my father is in good health. ”
Abt's tears flowed endlessly, and his voice became choked.
"Everyone was helpless, I was looking through the books in the palace library, and I grew up loving the wonders of the world.
I always visit the bards and famous adventurers who come to the royal city. Many strange things were recorded from them, and many books were collected on various aspects.
Finally, I found a record of this in a book. Abt wiped the tears from his face and shook his spirits again.
"This book records the diaries of some adventurers, and the records are very crude, but they only write about some things about the demon gods. Abt uttered a word that Agu had never heard before.
"Demon God?" asked Aku.
Abt Green nodded solemnly. "I've looked up a lot of information and legends, and in ancient times and even in ancient times, there were some powerful beings that have survived to the present.
They possess powerful and unknown powers, even comparable to the legendary gods, which we call the Demon Gods.
The book contained a case journal written by a city guard officer, and there was a case mentioned in it.
There is a person who has been honest and cowardly since childhood, and this person is always bullied by others. Suddenly, one day, he became a good speaker, and he was able to convince everyone around him of his lies, even if they seemed outrageous to the owner of the diary.
Of course, there are some people who are not deceived by his lies, but these people gradually become weak until they are skinny and unconscious, but they all have one thing in common, that is, their eye sockets become dark.
The city guard was appointed to investigate the man, and in the course of the investigation, he also began to weaken. He realized that he might have been poisoned by this man, and he knew that it would not be long before he would be unconscious.
So he decisively killed the liar. Not only did he recover, but many unconscious people also woke up. There are also people who die because they have been in a coma for too long.
They raided the liar's home and found a statue in his home, which, according to his diary, was dedicated to Firdusha, known as the god of deception in the days of the city guard.
The diary does not mention much of the deceptive demon god Ferdusa, except that she can deceive people, and that she has the ability to deceive souls by praying to her and receiving the will of Ferdusa.
Only those whose souls are protected survive. There is no record of what makes a man sick and unconscious. ”
"Do you suspect that your queen mother was tempted by the deceitful demon god?But she's just an innocent woman, how can we kill her?There must be another way, right?"
"Then you listen to me, it's all going on quietly, and I took these materials to the Temple of Life in the royal city.
Xavier is close to the Elven Empire and is influenced by the Elven Empire, so he also believes in the goddess of life.
The bishop of the temple is a good friend of his father, and if anyone can be trusted in the royal city, it must be the bishop.
I told the Bishop everything, and the Bishop said that there are indeed some demon gods in this world, and that they have long lives and all kinds of terrible abilities.
Some of them are hidden among humans, and some of them have been sleeping for thousands of years. Perhaps when a certain demon god wakes up the next moment, his past deeds have already become the dust of history with the dissipation of civilization.
There are so few recorded demon gods, and the Bishop has never heard of the deceitful demon god Fildusa, but the situation of the father is very similar to what is described in the diary.
The Bishop went to the palace to see his father and queen under the pretext of visiting the sick, but found no trace of magic, and perhaps the power of this demon god was not magical.
I asked the Bishop why the Queen Mother had not bewitched her father, but had left him unconscious.
The Bishop guessed that the reason why Ferdutha was able to deceive the people may be due to the deepest deception, that is, the deception of the soul.
However, after birth, all members of the royal family undergo the baptism 'Blessing of the Goddess of Life', which can only be received by newborns at the Temple of Life.
Past bishops have personally performed this magic on the newborns of the Green family to prevent the souls of the royal family from being tempted by evil spirits.
Perhaps this is the reason why the queen mother cannot confuse her father and us.
So we discussed some plans, and I needed to go back to the palace and try to be cowardly and submissive.
The disappearance of my brother made me the only legitimate heir to the throne, and the child in the womb of the queen mother was the second in line to the throne.
The Bishop thinks that the Demon God of Fraud will never kill me before the child is born. The Bishop went to the Elven Empire to find a way to free the Queen Mother.
But I was watched so closely that I couldn't even get out of this courtyard. I don't know if the bishop has come back, and if he can't find a way. ”
Abt was anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. During the period of his separation from the Bishop, he suffered from unparalleled suffering at every turn.
Ah Gu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this is the only way to do, I know that there is one person who has not been fooled by Ferdusa."
When I went to Southtown Prison to save Brother Dalles, I was seriously injured because I fell into a trap, and he took the risk to save me. So I'm sure Big Brother Quinn wasn't fooled by the queen.
We have made an appointment to go to the two places where Big Brother Dalles is most likely to be held, and I found you here, so it is very likely that the place where Dalles was held is really being held.
If queens possess the ability to confuse others, then they are in danger and no one in the palace can be trusted. ”
"Quickly change into the clothes of the guards, and go out with the people I brought, and you hurry to the agreed place, where someone will answer you.
Hurry up and go to the Bishop when you go out, and hope he can find a way, or it will be really bad. Ah Gu had a bad premonition in his heart.
"What will you do if I'm gone?" said Abt eagerly.
"Don't worry about me, with my ability, these people outside can't stop me. I have to stay in the palace, and if Big Brother Quinn fails to rescue them, I have to pick them up. Ah Gu shook his head and said.
