Chapter 376: True and False Oracles (2)
If Hathaway was here, she would be surprised, because the human being in this room was none other than Steven, the head of the Unicorn Knights of the Church of Nature. Kennett.
It's about the same as Hathaway's intentions, Steven. Kennett was also ordered by the Church to hook up with the Barbarian tribe.
Although the Barbarians are not as powerful as they used to be, as a warlike race, any country or force wants to take them under their command...... Including the royal family of the Ostiga Empire, they also hit the barbarians with their ideas many times, but they simply ignored them. If you want to conquer by force, God knows how much it will cost you to wipe out the barbarians in this poor mountain and bad water. Moreover, the elimination of barbarians for no reason will make other races feel that the Terrans are carrying out ethnic cleansing, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Of course, the Natural Church will not ignore this force, and in the past, when the Ortiga Empire was relatively strong, the Natural Church naturally did not dare to touch this bottom line. However, now that the underground race is about to move, the Ostiga Empire itself is also unstable, and the Orc Empire has launched a war, at this time, even if the Odidga Empire is dissatisfied, it can only pinch its nose and admit it.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will think about change, and the barbarians are in this mountain...... If it is said that it is a poor mountain and bad water, then it is too sorry for the Beias Mountains. However, the living conditions of the barbarians living here are really not flattering, and they also want to change, but they are afraid of conflict with the human race. Especially for a large tribe like the Heavenly Axe, no matter how magnificent the Stone Forest is, it is also a huge place of residence that cannot be compared with the small town inhabited by humans, and the Beas Mountains can train the physique of barbarian warriors. But it also limits the development of barbarians, and many far-sighted barbarians have discovered this problem, but do not know how to change it...... One qiē, all because of the betrayal of the Terran to the racial covenant.
Now, as the most powerful church in the human world, the Church of Nature has extended an olive branch to the barbarians, and some tribal elders believe that this opportunity should be seized. However, the High Priest of the Central Temple has been noncommittal about this matter, and has not even met Steven alone. Kennett, without the support of the Central Temple, would be considered the House of Elders Guò. It doesn't work either.
But at this time. The temple actually spread an oracle, and even a oracle appeared. Kennett's incredible thing was that the oracle was more than just a Terran. And it's also his old acquaintance Hathaway.
Jean Steven. Kennett was struck by the odds. Wherever you go, it seems. Hathaway seems to be able to be seen in the figure, and every time it is just right to destroy the things of the Church of Nature...... Yes, on the surface. Hathaway doesn't seem to be fighting against the Church of Nature, but every time the church fails, she always shows up.
Coincidental?
Steven. Kennett didn't think so, but he couldn't produce strong evidence. But this time the two sides are going head-to-head, and I don't know why, he still has some expectations in his heart. Wake up to this, Steven. Kennett himself found it incredible, and he wondered how Hathaway had gotten the Barbarian Crown.
Thinking of this, Steven. Kennett said in a solemn tone: "He has come in the name of an oracle, and I am afraid that it will be an incalculable obstacle to the cooperation between the nobility and the church." Your Excellency Priest Sandra, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to deal with. ”
Sandra was the priest of the Heavenly Axe Tribe, and when she heard this, she said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency Kennett, it is not someone who can become an oracle with the crown of a barbarian king, we will definitely not let that person fish in troubled waters in the tribe, let alone let her sabotage our alliance plan with the Natural Church." ”
"But it seems that this divine envoy is not simple, at least he has already controlled two barbarian tribes. What do you think about this, Lord Sandra? "Steven. Kennett watched him intently, patiently waiting for an answer.
Sandra nodded and said, "Although the Jiuniu Tribe and the Tianhuo Tribe together are less than 10,000 people, there are more than a dozen tribes that have different opinions or neutrality on the alliance, with a total population of more than 100,000. So, in the worst-case scenario, this so-called oracle will have these more than 100,000 people in their hands. Now, we don't know exactly what her purpose is, and if even the Central Temple admits it, it will be the most severe blow to our alliance plans. ”
Steven. Kennett nodded, looking through the window at the House of Elders with a deep gaze: "Your Excellency, Sandra, soon we will know what she wants to do." With me here, it's not so easy to fish in troubled waters. However, if she is smart enough to cooperate with our two sides to form an alliance, there is nothing wrong with acknowledging her as a true oracle. ”
Sandra's face was a little embarrassed: "Fake is fake, although the oracle says that there is a divine messenger coming, but it does not say that it is a human race." ”
In his position, he naturally disagrees with the former's last sentence. Steven. Kennett didn't look embarrassed at all as if he hadn't thought of this...... Among them, in the natural church, there is also an idea, since the barbarian gods have not sent miracles for many years, it would be the best thing if these barbarians could convert their faith and join the natural church. It's a pity that after he came to the stone forest, he found that although the Elders' House had the strength to rival the central temple, the Elders' House was not monolithic, and the vast majority of barbarians still respected the temple very much, and it was very unrealistic to want to get rid of the temple.
Steven. Kennett smiled, "Your Excellency said yes. However, maybe we can make good use of this fake oracle, this person is also a talent, and I hope she can see the form clearly, and will not be stupid enough to be our enemy. The Council of Elders seems to be coming to an end, and I think I should go see the oracle and teach her a lesson. ”
"Lord Kennett, although that person is only a fourth-level great magician, you should also pay attention to your own safety." Sandra was clearly insincere.
"Fourth-level Grand Mage?"
Steven. Kennett laughed, "I'll be careful not to get her hurt." ”
The elders' house is indeed arguing, and the elders are arguing, and it is estimated that if someone shouts 'up' at this time, maybe this elders' will stage a full martial arts. Although Elder Sara was outnumbered, they gradually gained the upper hand in the debate, because they had enough evidence to prove Hathaway's oracle identity, especially when Hathaway revealed the Barbarian Crown, and immediately more elders were firmly on Hathaway's side. However, the Heavenly Axe Tribe was also hard-hearted, and although it was inferior in terms of righteousness, it still gritted its teeth and did not let go, and as a result, an afternoon passed quickly, and finally Elder Sharu had to announce the end of the meeting and discuss it again tomorrow.
Although the debate was over, the elders seemed extremely excited. Hathaway was also drunk, and they all said that barbarians were clumsy in words, but when I heard it this afternoon, they were all masters of debate, where was it clumsy?
However, the fighting spirit is vividly expressed, and they all walked out of the elders' house, still chattering and arguing, and I don't know how long it had been since they spoke, and they all became a little talkative.
Surrounded by Elder Sara and the others, Hathaway walked towards the accommodation they had arranged, unlike ordinary stone houses, the big men usually lived in two-story wooden buildings, and some green vines climbed on the outer walls.
Steven. Kennett stood on the side of the road with his hands in his hands, chatting and laughing casually with his two men. His sharp eyes glanced at Hathaway from time to time, who was walking in this direction.
Hathaway certainly saw Steven. Kennett, when she saw the unicorn leader, her heart was also ...... The first thought was to wonder if the other party was here for herself, but after thinking about it, she overturned this suspicion again. This time the barbarian tribe came, except for a few important people in the lord's mansion, it was impossible for anyone else to know. And along the way, she and Ilona were also very careful to hide their whereabouts as much as possible, and not to let the church people embellish them.
Then, the answer is already coming out, and His Excellency the head of the regiment has other plans...... Of course, it's these barbarians.
As fate would have it, the two sides seemed to be in an unfriendly state every time they met.
"Your Excellency Captain Kennett, long time no see." Hathaway came close and greeted the other party with a smile on his face, which made Steven, who was planning how to test the other party. Kennett hesitated.
"Long time no see, Your Excellency Marquis." After saying hello, Steven. Kennett was in a trance for a moment...... The girl was not yet twenty years old, and she was already a marquis, especially since this title did not come entirely from inheritance, but from the battlefield with a knife and a gun.
The greetings between the two seemed unnourishing, and in the end they made a meeting date that no one knew if they would have the opportunity to perform, and they separated.
……
After dinner, the elders of the Jiuniu and Tianhuo tribes gathered in Hathaway's room to discuss countermeasures, and several elders rebuked the Heavenly Axe tribe with righteous indignation, believing that they had clearly violated the teachings of the barbarian gods and had gone further and further down the wrong path. Now several large tribes, led by the Celestial Axe Tribe, have joined forces to resist Hathaway, and if they want to turn the tide, they must enlist the support of the High Priest of the Central Temple.
However, among the fifteen sacrifices in the central temple, only Zhaoye was the one of the two clans. Elder Sara mentions that Hathaway performs another miracle in the temple, which naturally makes the other priests recognize Hathaway's identity as an oracle. If accredited by the Central Temple. I can't embarrass the Lord in the House of Elders. (To be continued......)
