"I'm just asking. I'm not a member of the church, and I'm not going to hand you over to the church, at most I'll kick you out and leave you to fend for yourself. ”

"You ......"

"Don't forget, this is my home."

After seeing that Chu Tianjiang was joking, Iska's face turned blue with anger, and his face became a little distorted.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Iskar looked at Chu Tianjiang and did not speak.

"I believe you, even if you're a Resistance Ranger, there's a reason you're here."

"I can't tell you."

"For what?"

"I don't know if you can trust it."

"I'm not a member of the church, and I'm not a ......"

"How do I know you're not from the church?"

"This ......"

"Prove it to me."

"How to prove it? Do you want me to strip naked, and let you know that I don't have a cross on me? Chu Tianjiang stood up and took off his animal skin coat.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you want me to prove it to you?" Through the information he had learned before, Chu Tianjiang had affirmed that there must be some kind of mark on the body of the church personnel, and it was related to the cross. Exiles like Schneider, for example, have crosses on their wrists.

"You don't have to prove it."

"How do you prove that?"

"Curse the church, curse the damned God."

"Proof of that?"

Iska nodded, staring intently at Chu Tianjiang.

"What's so difficult about this, how do you curse it?" Chu Tianjiang understood. The church must use brainwashing to control personnel, so church personnel are solidified in their minds, and they will never do anything against the church, will not curse the church, and it is impossible to curse the God that the church proclaims.

There is one thing that can prove Chu Tianjiang's judgment.

That is, even though Jack was a little dissatisfied with the church, he never cursed the church and God, and never said anything bad about the church and God. He is not a member of the church yet, and it is conceivable that those who work for the church must be controlled by the church.

"Whatever you want."

"the church and let God eat the."

Iskar was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Enough?"

Iskar nodded and said, "You're not from the church. ”

"I've said a long time ago that I have nothing to do with that bullshit church."

"And who are you?"

"Ordinary people."

"You're definitely not an ordinary person."

"Alright, talk about you." Chu Tianjiang pulled the topic back, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Look for the ruins."

"Ruins!?" Chu Tianjiang was very surprised, but he didn't show it particularly obviously.

"Remnants of the Shadow Empire."

"Shadow Empire!?"

Iskar glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "The history that the church told you was all made up, and a long time ago, the world world was not what it is now. ”

"Really?" Chu Tianjiang began to believe that Iska was indeed a member of the Resistance Group.

"Although we are now a resistance group and can only operate in the shadows, thousands of years ago, we were not, we built a huge empire."

"Do you know the history of the Dao, is it true?"

"Yes, definitely. Do you doubt what I say? ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and did not continue to stimulate Iska.

"In order not to be discovered by powerful enemies, our empire has been operating in the shadows, and under the rule of the two empresses, a glorious civilization has been built."

"Two Empresses!?"

"Clara, the Empress of Wisdom, and Natasha, the Empress of Immortal."

"What!?" Chu Tianjiang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Haven't you heard about them?"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head, he really hadn't heard of Clara and Natasha after the Calamity Era.

"They created the Shadow Empire, formed the Resistance Army, resisted the invasion of the Church, freed more people, and gave hope to all."

"And then?"

"The empire lasted for thousands of years, but it was ......"

"But what?"

Iskar let out a long sigh and said, "A long time ago, maybe a thousand years ago, the Holy Empire joined the Church, and we lost the opportunity to resist. Although we have not given up, continuing to fight will only cause more people to suffer from the flames of war. In accordance with the will of the Empress of Wisdom and the Empress of the Undead, we disbanded the Empire, broke it into pieces, and hid it for the next opportunity. ”

"What chance?"

"Prophetic opportunity."

"Prophecy!?" Chu Tianjiang was even more surprised.

"The Empress of Wisdom left a prophecy that this situation would end with the arrival of a man who would be the savior of the entire human civilization."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and was speechless in surprise. It only took a second thought to understand that Clara had always believed that he would return, so the prophesied savior must have been him. As for whether he could save human civilization, Chu Tianjiang was not at all sure.

"Do you know this prophecy?"

"Of course I don't know."

Iskar sighed and said, "The Empress of Wisdom has left fifteen orbs of prophecy, and told her descendants that when one of them glows, it means that the person has returned, and we must follow the instructions of the prophecy to go to the place marked by the orb of prophecy and find the ruins. ”

"The ruins are related to the savior?" Chu Tianjiang asked deliberately.

Iskar nodded and said, "If you find the ruins, you will find the savior." In accordance with the teachings of the Empress of Wisdom, we will follow the Savior against the invaders. ”

"How many thousand years did the two empresses live?"

Iskar nodded, not saying anything more.

"They're still alive?"

"I don't know what to do."

"I don't know what to do?"

"We know very little about the Empress. Matters related to the empress were all top secrets, and only the seven great elders knew about it. It's just that there has always been a legend. ”

"Legends?"

"The Empresses are still alive, just imprisoned somewhere, and only the Savior can save them."

"This ......"

"If you're willing to join the Resistance, I can take you to the Grand Elder."

"Why should I join the Resistance?" Chu Tianjiang laughed.

"You're not from the church."

"By your word, as long as you're not a member of the church, you're all members of the Resistance?"

"Of course not, it's just ......"

"Isn't that all there is to it?"

"You ......," Iskar said, biting her lip, "you have the ability, you are willing to help others, you have saved me, you are qualified to join the Resistance." ”

"I don't think so."

"Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I don't want to, but I have to join the resistance organization in order to live a wonderful life?" ”

"You...... Don't you want to save more people? ”

"Of course I want to help more people, but I don't have that ability, so why should I take risks?"

Iskar glared at Chu Tianjiang and said, "Do you know what kind of enemy we are facing? ”

"Do you know the way?"

"Of course I know." Iskar let out a long sigh and said, "They are not human at all, they are demons from hell who specialize in enslaving humans. ”

"So, you also believe in what the church preaches?"

"What?"

"Heaven and hell, aren't they preached by the church?"

"You ......"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a smile and said, "Have you found the ruins?" ”

"Nope." Iska sighed and said, "I followed the instructions and came here. If the place in the prophecy orb is correct, the ruins should be around it. But I searched for a whole month and found nothing, so maybe the location in the prophecy ball was wrong. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, and the ruins were at the feet of the two of them.

"That's right." Iska was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Where did you find these Manyagangs?" ”

"Nearby."

"Nearby!?"

"In the forest across the valley." Chu Tianjiang knew that special alloys must be an important symbol of the relics, otherwise Iskar would not care so much about special alloys. Although Chu Tianjiang had already concluded that Iska was a member of the Resistance, he decided to keep it a secret until he found out the details of the Resistance.

Clara and Natasha disappeared more than 1,500 years ago. While the resistance they created is still fighting, it can change a lot over such a long period of time. Perhaps low-level members like Iskar still believe in prophecies and legends, but no one can guarantee that the top leaders of the Resistance, such as the Great Elder mentioned by Iskar, have not changed, and may have been rebelled by the Church long ago.

There is a very important reason why Chu Tianjiang has this suspicion.

That is, without the leadership of Clara and Natasha, the Resistance has existed for more than 1,500 years, and still adheres to its original goal, either to have a leader comparable to Clara and Natasha, or to be destroyed and co-opted by the church long ago.

If it was the latter, then Chu Tianjiang would definitely not be able to let more people know the specific location of the Dao Ruins.

"Can you take me?"

"Went useful?"

"Of course it works. Manyasteel is a product of the time of the Empress of Wisdom and was mainly used to build ruins. You've found Manyagang, and the ruins are definitely around here. ”

"I picked it up in the river, maybe from a long way away."

"Anyway, the ruins are around here."

"It's your business. Of course, if you like it, I can give you a weapon. As for finding the ruins, I can't help with that. ”

"You ......"

"I can tell you where you picked up these things, and you can find them yourself."

Iskar bit her lip and agreed.

Because it came out of the valley, Chu Tianjiang still knew the situation in the valley relatively well, so he casually said a location that was easier to find.

"The place was easy to find, under a waterfall and a big pool downstream. I suggest you stay and leave in a few days. Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "No matter what, it's not too late to wait until the snowstorm passes, you can't find anything in this kind of weather now." ”

Iskar didn't say much, and she knew the effects of the bad weather.
