380 Carnival and Redemption
While the lands of Tamriel were in mourning, in the southeast of Southam Island, in Tyre Mithry, a huge crowd was thrown into a revelry, with burning bonfires lighting up the sky, bright red flames restrained by magic and dancing in bewitching human shapes, and countless people gathered here to "celebrate new life".
Among them were ordinary residents, town guards, bandits and raiders, dressed in distinctive but out of place uniforms, armor, and weapons hanging from their backs or waists, but they had no intention of making a move, but instead held their glasses high and said words of celebration, and even a few raiders boldly invited the local girls to dance around the campfire.
Not far away, in a tall "mushroom room", a banquet also came to an end, and the host and guests comfortably nestled in their chairs, holding a cup of dog root tea and chatting.
"It's thanks to you that we were able to free Southam Island from the rule of those believers this time."
Nellos held the teacup and looked at Filina sitting opposite with appreciation, and Filina smiled back: "Speaking of which, thanks to your help, we can save everyone's lives, if it is only us, we can only be ruthless and kill the true and false believers together." ”
Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly silent for a few seconds, this is also the most uncomfortable point when dealing with the New Dragon Worship, everyone is not an evil and murderous person, they can be regarded as a good camp, even if they have hundreds of demon army fighters in their hands, they will never do anything to the innocent, and when facing the army of the Dragon Worship Sect, everyone knows that most of the enemies are manipulated, but in order to end the rule of the New Dragon Worship, they have to kill the killer, This choice is a painful choice for everyone.
Especially Ah Ye.
You must know that half a month ago, Ah Ye personally buried more than 3,000 believers with three "magic nuclear bombs", except for a few sacrifices and a few high-level believers, the vast majority of the rest are bewitched "pseudo-believers", although there are certainly robbers, bandits, looters and the like among these bewitched people, but more are ordinary people in various settlements.
After that, Ah Ye disappeared for three days, and after returning, he seemed to have come out of the shadows, but when fighting with the believers, he often hesitated, and his strength could only be exerted to three percent, and when he later destroyed the Standing Stone Altar, Ah Ye even refused to participate in the battle, but played the role of commander in the rear.
"Anyway, you're saving more people, aren't you? Moreover, if it weren't for your intelligence, these people would probably be completely converted into fanatics, and they would never be able to regain their original consciousness, so you shouldn't blame yourself too much. ”
Seeing the bitterness in Ah Ye's expression, Freya, who was sitting next to her, also spoke out to comfort her, at the beginning, it was Ah Ye who went to the periphery of the Mirak Temple alone and rescued her from the hands of those believers, and also destroyed the altar that bound the standing stone to save her village.
Ah Ye showed a bitter smile and nodded to Freya, while on the other side, Bing Xuan also quietly held his hand, but the cold touch made his heart warm for a while, and the bitterness in his heart was relieved a lot.
In fact, the three days that Ah Ye "disappeared" were not only because of his inner self-blame, but more to atone for his sins, as Freya said, during those three days, Ah Ye went to the Mirak Temple alone, rescued Freya outside the temple, and then went to Skar Village with Freya, and learned from Freya's father the specific location of the dragon language wall that recorded the "Forced Will" dragon rune, as well as the specific location of the six standing stones.
As for why he didn't tell others, it was Ah Ye who couldn't explain his source of information, so he could only create a "coincidence" to meet Freya by chance, so that he could go to Skar Village logically and obtain this information "accidentally".
As for why Skar Village has this information, it is not a question that Ah Ye needs to explain.
After getting all the key information, Ah Ye returned to Raven Rock and informed Firina of the location of the Dragon Wall, but he went to Tyr Mithri, persuaded Master Nellos to participate in the plan to destroy the Standing Stone Altar, and set off with Master Nellos to the Wind Stone near the village of Skar, and cooperated with Filina and others to destroy the altar that bound the Wind Stone.
Thanks to the assistance of Master Neros, all the believers were controlled at the first time, and when the altar was destroyed, the people who still had their minds would naturally return to their true nature, and only those who were completely transformed into fanatical believers would be dealt with on the spot, avoiding many innocent casualties.
After destroying the six standing stone altars, tens of thousands of people were directly or indirectly liberated by Ah Ye, but atonement is never a simple addition and subtraction, saving 10,000 people does not make him completely forgive himself, even after rescuing the people of Thatham from spiritual bewitchment, the torment in Ah Ye's heart has disappeared a lot, but this self-blame and guilt will accompany him for the rest of his life.
Pulling the corners of his mouth and laughing forcefully, Ah Ye said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about me, let's think about what to do next, you know, the elite power of the New Dragon Worship Sect is concentrated near the Milak Temple." ”
As early as more than half a month ago, the high-level believers and priests on Southam Island all rushed back to the Milak Temple, and now although they have liberated those bewitched ordinary believers and disintegrated the basic power of the New Dragon Worship Sect, the power of the New Dragon Worship Sect is still enough to suppress them, especially when Master Neros has stated early on that he will not continue to meddle in this matter, it is even more difficult to attack the Milak Temple.
"Master Neros ......"
"As I said, we can talk about the reward for destroying the Standing Stone Altar later, but if you want to attack the Mirak Temple, I will never make a move."
As soon as Ah Ye spoke, he was interrupted by Master Neros, who glanced at everyone's expressions, and then explained: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that even if I make a move, I can't help you anything, the main priest of the new Dragon Worship Sect has broken through to the mythical realm, and he can contain me alone, not to mention that there are six other high priests and more than thirty high-level sacrifices, if you want me to say, it is more realistic for you to ask the mainland for help." ”
"Continental?"
Filina smiled bitterly, with the temperament of those forces on the continent, it was absolutely impossible to provide them with too much assistance before they had suffered from the New Dragon Worship Sect, even if it had always been a good relationship with the Winter Castle Magic Academy, at most it was just to send out a mage group to help them, but when facing dozens of legendary powerhouses, what was the use of a mage group?
