Chapter 233: The Prophetic Brother's Behavior
As you can see, this is Cana, and then I will ask you a few questions on behalf of our goddess, this is the test, you answer truthfully, and then Cana will decide whether or not to help you resist the Night of the Eclipse and even take full control of the island city in the future. ”
Jeno was still very satisfied with the effect of Gana Rah's entry, and he kept a straight face and made himself serious.
What did Sarah hear?
Compared to the help promised by Jay just now, in addition to defending against the Night of Soul Eclipse, it also has the benefit of ruling Bilgewater!
Is this not only to help her solve her urgent needs, but also to help her pave the way for the future?
Sarah seemed to see a dignified avenue appear in front of her, just one step away.
"I see." Sarah nodded obediently, wanting to make a good impression on the goddess.
"How many Soul Eclipse Nights have you experienced, and how did you spend them?" Jeno asked.
"More than five times, less than ten. I'll have my men fortify the Uptown beforehand, and everyone will prepare their weapons and hide in them, and then I'll leave the rest to Planck, and luckily, those undead have passed by the door countless times, and occasionally a few undead have broken in, but we have solved them perfectly. ”
Thinking back to the last night of Soul Eater, Sarah still felt that the suffocating and desperate death darkness was still vivid, and the desperate wails before the tragic death still lingered in her ears.
"So you've never really faced the Black Mist?" Jeno was quite complaining, and the disappointment hung on the straight brow.
"Yes...... But my first mate, Raven, probably knows a little more than I do, and he always says he's killed more undead than I've crossed bridges, but don't expect too much, he's a braggart. ”
Sarah tries to provide clues, but that's not what Jeno wants.
He wanted Sarah to find out if there was a pattern to the generals sent out from Shadow Island every year on Soul Eater Night, so that he could be prepared.
But that idea fell through.
"The second question is, Planck is only a mortal, and his men are all mortals, how do they resist the invasion of the undead?"
"The black fog only gradually spread to Bilgewater during Planck's reign, and when the black fog was not so thick at first, Planck would drive his ship deep into it and kill him. Later, the tentacles of the black fog stretched longer and longer, to the extent that they covered the entire Rat Town, and several times after that, Planck did not face the Night Sea of Soul Eclipse, and I don't know what he went to do. All I knew was that there would be a divine light, which would shine on the python bridge in the darkest hours before dawn, and dissolve into Bilgewater like dawn, and then see the black mist retreat and the undead flee with wailing. ”
"Are you sure that light is not the morning light, but the light coming from the direction of the Serpent Mother Temple?"
"I'm pretty sure, it's no ordinary dawn, and that's what everyone thinks, including me, otherwise why do you think we should pray for the blessing of Lady Beard, because it has the power to dispel the black mist and give us a second life! It's also thanks to Aloy that he helped Planck so much, so the group of waste eggs were all gone, for fear that Aloy would ignore Bilgewater after Planck's death. ”
Sarah vowed to correct Jeno's possible cognitive biases, but when she spoke of Planck, she herself was vaguely angry.
Aloy is the most powerful and revered true of all time, and she is the only one who dares to break the tradition - after she was admonished to become a true one, she left the golden temple of Barjou with majestic divine powers, set foot in the sewage of Bilgewater, built the temple, brought the teachings of the Serpent Mother to the pirate city, and let it take root, and it was her unbreakable will that allowed the ideas of the sect to be sown.
At a time when the Bajou saw the Outlanders as creatures that were only a few better than the undead, it was Aloy who was willing to save them from the devastating night, so she was in high standing and revered in Bilgewater. With such a powerful person as the backing, in the face of Planck's rampant domineering, all forces naturally dare not speak out, and Sarah hates him to the core, and can only swallow her anger for more than ten years in the face of this situation, you can imagine how aggrieved she is.
Because Aloy sheltered Planck, the two of them were angry in one pants, so Sarah hated Aloy even with her.
"There's no way around it, who made Planck and Aloy get along."
The former boyfriend and girlfriend relationship between the Pirate King and the Sea Beast Priest has always been a topic of conversation.
"But why did Aloy wait until before dawn to strike? Do you have to wait for the black fog to harvest those poor people who don't have shelter before you can make a move?! ”
However, Jeno suddenly changed his mind and left Sarah speechless.
Thinking about it in horror, fear drowned her like a tide, and a heart fell straight into the abyss as if it had been tied to a heavy anchor.
It took a long time for her to speak:
"I think maybe it was necessary to offer some energy to Lady Beard so that Aloy could summon the divine light, after all, the mother snake could be a sea beast or something...... Evil gods, it's not strange that you need sacrifices to make a move, right......"
Sarah's tone was so unresolute that even she couldn't convince herself.
In the belief that the soul in motion is energy, so the energy mentioned above can be understood as life energy, and returning energy to the universe means death.
"Are you sure? The black mist will assimilate the dead into the undead, you know, right? I must know that all this energy has been swallowed up by the black mist, and it will be the turn of the snake mother to enjoy it. Aloy is reinforcing and promoting the belief in the Mother Snake by maintaining a strong reverence for those who survive with some sacrifices. Instead, she will do her good friend in the process, put him on the throne, and use his authority to bring the Serpent Mother faith to every dark corner of the pirate city. ”
Imagine Planck saying to you, 'Believe in the Serpent Mother!' If you don't believe me, I'll sink you to the bottom of the sea to see the bearded lady! Whether you believe it or not, you can only believe it in order to survive.
Jeno continued, "But what will she think of you if you cast Planck into the sea while she was taking a nap?" If I'm not mistaken, Aloy will be talking to you on the eve of Eclipse Night, but do you think it's going to be that simple? ”
This is the cheating of the prophets.
Jeno knew that Aloy would be present at Sarah's subordinate Byrne's funeral a few days later, uninvited. She's here to help Sarah fight off the Night of the Eclipse, but under Geno's words, Sarah will only think that Aloy is here to seek revenge, and she will find a backer to fall on Cana's side before it happens.
Why does Jeno need Sarah's refuge? That's right! Jeno is here to steal faith from Aloy!
