The two found Cassadine and Taliyah in the Antique Alley, where they saw Cassadine rewarded them with a copper coin, causing them to scramble to tell what they had heard.

Then Cassadine organized what he had heard and relayed it to the two men.

"The prophet was known as Marzaha, and at first he was only divining people in Amaqra, and in exchange for wealth, he became a well-known prophet in the region. Later, he suddenly disappeared mysteriously for a few years, and when he reappeared, he seemed to be a different person, and began to perform miracles frequently. ”

"Legend has it that he led a caravan through Calixe, where Exe was entrenched, unharmed, to ward off evil spirits for the inhabitants who had seized the evil vision, and to subdue monsters in exchange for peace. He did a lot of things, but he didn't want money, just people offering live sacrifices. At first, it was only at his request, but later people obeyed his miracles and voluntarily offered sacrifices. ”

He also described a new world without endless suffering, and by offering oneself as a living sacrifice to an invisible force, one would be able to enter the realm of the gods and escape the cycle of suffering. His followers grew more and more, and they were all frantically scavenging for live sacrifices or preaching for the Prophet in order to take them out of the sea of suffering and into a new world. ”

Karn shook his brow as he listened, thinking to himself that the soil of religion in this world was really fertile, and that people's ideologies were generally backward.

"If I'm not mistaken, he said that the world is ...... Not only is there no suffering, there is no happiness or enjoyment, and even the concept of time does not exist, right? Kahn said, "These so-called miracles are all directed and performed by Marzahar to fool people's hearts." ”

"Little master, is there really a place like that?" Taliyah asked, "Don't even have time?" ”

"Yes, that's what the real void is. Those believers thought that they had gone to Elysium to enjoy themselves after death, but they did not know that there was nothing there. ”

Kasha replied on Karn's behalf, his tone very determined, even though she hadn't been there.

The nothingness of the Void does not need to be repeated, but in fact, even Malzaha himself has not been to the real Void.

The people he promised would not go to the void after death, and their fate would be annihilation without exception.

"Cults are terrible......"

The thought of so many people fighting moths to the fire, helping Marzaha usher in the end of the world, Taliyah felt a chill down her spine, as if stared at by the warm purple light emitted by those three-eyed monsters.

In Taliyah's mind, the Void was deeper beneath the earth's rock formations, deep below the base of matter.

She couldn't quite understand why life from another dimension was appearing in droves underground.

So she regarded the underground where monsters were rampant as the place of the void, the birthplace of monsters.

Why, then, is there anyone in such a place full of darkness and monsters who are fanatical about going forward one after another?

"Will anyone believe such a one-sided statement?" Taliyah was confused.

"What the world will be like after death is not up to the prophet, and no one can come back after annihilation to expose his lies." Karn waved his hand.

"As I recall, the first followers of the Prophet were nomads. As long as he tore open the earth with the power bestowed by the Void, summoning nightmarish creatures and screaming to take away anyone who dared to deny him, the rest of the people would have to believe him. "Recommended Reading TV//

"And with the first believers, the rest is easy."

"Under the frenzied preaching of the cultists, faith will spread like a plague in the desert."

"If you don't have prophets directing and acting miracles to deceive people, people will deceive themselves."

"If it weren't for the wise Babayan in your tribe who told you not to come into contact with the cult, maybe your tribe would have become an accomplice of the prophet by this time."

Seeing that the little sparrow was already trembling with fear from Karn's words, Cassadine added that she should not worry too much.

"Now the Prophet is not easy to show up, and his affairs are left to the followers, although it is rumored that he is planning to build a temple in the desert."

"Temple......" Karn mused, "I think it's more appropriate to call it an altar." ”

"Keep asking for news, and we'll go to Nasus when we reach a deal."

That's all there is to know about the Prophet for the time being, and Taliyah realizes that the Prophet's presence threatens not only the Weaver tribe, but even the entire Shurima.

"I wish Sivir could hear that, so she might be willing to help us." She sighed.

"She? It's just a mercenary who can't afford to make a profit. Karn walked north, and replied casually, "Oh yes, Sivir was nowhere to be seen early in the morning, and what about her?" ”

"I'm going to find the city elders."

"Look, I'll just say, it's not profitable."

The four continued to wander the streets before passing by the temple.

It is a temple of the sun left over from ancient times, made of cut and squared granite. It was built by the craftsmen exiled by the lost Acacia.

Each stone was cut and built with such precision that not even a drop of mortar was needed to build it, and the new stone was embedded with gold thread.

Although it is not as good as the Colossus Temple that was once located in the heart of the Shurima Empire, it is already the best surviving Sun Temple in the world.

At least Nasus, the ascendant who was madly obsessed with the glory of the past, would not feel so disgusted.

A huge solar disc hangs from the top of the temple, wrought copper plating with pure gold, suspended by stout fine-ground marble columns with rope satin.

Although the solar disk in front of me is huge, it can only be regarded as a child's toy compared to the real thing.

The real solar disk is suspended in the air, without the help of any external force, obscuring the sky, like the sun in the sky.

But don't doubt that this is the most restored replica of the solar disc that exists in Shurima.

Karn noticed two warriors guarding the temple steps, their helmets drawing him to thought.

Two helmets with feathers, brim of the beast with a protruding snout, one for a crocodile's snout, the other for a roaring jackal.

Among them, the jackal alludes to the image of Nasus, who is the god warrior of the jackal's head.

"Uncle, are there any jackal masks sold here?" Karn had a whim.

"Yes, it's nearby." Cassadine took Karn to buy a jackal mask, made of terracotta and covered in black ink.

Under the astonished gazes of the others, Karn broke the mask apart, leaving only a quarter of it and placed it on his left eye.

Finally removing the unsightly turban, Karn was in a good mood, and the group returned to the station.

Sivir, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Karn's face with half of the mask on his face, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately said, "I received a commission from the elders. ”
