Leaving the hut, Wright was sent by the cultists to the altar on the west coast of Dragon's Nest Island, along with Long Leaf Gong and the strange boy Ioros.

It is the main place where the Aeolus cult holds its rituals, so it is often used as an altar by the inhabitants. The main religious facilities of the Aeolus Sect were also built around the altar according to the mountain.

On the way here, Wright had already learned more about the Aeolian Cult and Dragon's Nest Island from Changye Gong... Contrary to his expectations, this religion, which seems to have a large number of adherents, does not have a long history.

Although the inhabitants of the island have long been in awe of the wind wall that separates the open sea from the dragon's nest, it was only thirty years ago that the religion it is now has developed.

One day, a guy named "Orleans" who claimed to be the spokesman of the god of wind suddenly appeared on this small island.

He claimed to be able to fly out of thin air, fearless of swords, and soon gathered a number of followers on Dragon's Lair Island with this transcendent miracle.

Orleans gathered them, formulated a doctrine and a code, and soon developed them into the first fanatical cults, and officially established the "Aeolus Cult".

During this period, the Aeolus Cult made weapons of various magical ores that originally existed on Dragon's Lair Island, and called them gifts from the Aeolian Gods, and distributed them to loyal believers in order to further strengthen their religious power.

Cult Master Orleans also declared to all the islanders that the storms surrounding the island were a barrier for the Anemo God to protect them, and that the open sea was a world full of dangers and horrors, so any offense to the "Aeolian Wall" was disrespectful to the gods.

… Because of this, the islanders have a hostile and disgusting attitude towards the aliens who originally lived on the island but wanted to go to the open sea, or the crew members who occasionally strayed into the wind wall in the open sea.

"No wonder they were so angry when I said I was leaving the island."

Wright smiled wryly and shook his head... From the perspective of an adult living in the open sea, the beliefs on Dragon's Nest Island are backward and ignorant, and there is no reason at all, but in fact, without the help of Changye Gong and Ioros, he would have died here without knowing it.

"I'm sorry young man... We are separated from the open sea by two worlds, and it may be very difficult for us to understand each other. ”

Changye Gong sighed and continued: "We have lived here for generations, and for most people on the island, the wind wall is the boundary of this world, which is already a common sense concept that is difficult to reverse. ”

But don't you believe that, do you? You believe in the world of the open sea. ”

"Yes, I'm sure there's a better world waiting for us beyond the Wind Wall."

"So you've been out of Dragon's Lair?"

Wright's eyes lit up. Despite their precarious situation, the navigator had not forgotten his ultimate purpose of returning to Osiris.

However, the old man's next answer made him a little confused.

"No... I've never left the Dragon's Lair, and though I've tried, I've failed. Everything about the open sea world was told to me by a friend. ”

- Who is he?

Wright was about to ask a question subconsciously, but Ioros, on the other side, suddenly interjected.

"It's 'pioneers'! Father-in-law Changye has seen the 'pioneer', so he only knows about the open sea! ”

The boy's eyes were full of longing when he said this—as an orphan, Ioros had been raised by his father-in-law since he was a child, and because of this, he had never been poisoned by the Aeolus Cult, but had an infinite desire for the vast world that existed in the story.

Wright: "Is that so?" ”

Changye Gong: "... More than 30 years ago, he was just like you who ended up on this island by chance, and I am ashamed to say that he is also inspired by the reason why I often tinker with small inventions now. ”

As mentioned earlier, those who offend the wind wall will be treated with hostility from the whole island, and the biggest reason why Nagaba Gong can be an exception, in addition to being highly respected, is the various unique magical items he has invented to improve the lives of the island's residents.

For such an important old man who has made many contributions to everyone, the islanders still maintain a minimum of respect.

But Wright's focus is not on this at the moment, in order to get out of Dragon's Nest Island as soon as possible, he is interested in the "pioneer" who has been mentioned repeatedly.

Wright: "And what happened later?" What happened to the 'Pioneer', and how did he get out of Dragon's Nest through the storm? ”

The three of them walked and talked, and at this moment they had come to the inside of the altar...

Unlike some isolated primitive civilizations, the altars on Dragon's Nest Island are built in an extremely luxurious manner, reflecting not only a high level of craftsmanship, but also a large number of expensive and precious minerals!

Whether it's the walls of large emeralds, or the beams and pillars dotted with amethyst and pigeon's blood red, being here is like walking through the kingdom of gemstones!

At some point, most of the villagers who had been with them had been dispersed by the cultists who were in charge of guarding the altar, leaving only the white-robed priest Harry and a few other guards armed with scepters.

And just before Changye Gong could answer his question, on the other side of the altar, Orleans, the leader of the Aeolus Sect, finally appeared in front of Wright for the first time.

"Of course he couldn't leave the dragon's lair, that fool didn't cherish the kindness of the wind god, and even provoked the wind wall again, and finally died in the anger of the wind in great pain at that time!"

Changye Gong: "Nonsense! ”

Orleans: "Heh, who's talking nonsense?" Changye Gong, it's almost time for you to wake up from those unrealistic fantasies, I said a long time ago that the people of the open sea are all believers in demons, and they just want to lure us out of the barrier set up by God, only in this way can the darkness swallow this peach paradise pure land! ”

Orleans, who wore a crown on his head, was dressed in a magnificent white sacrificial robe, and his outstretched hands were filled with all kinds of rings set with brilliant gems, and he could barely open his eyes.

Combined with the previous rumors about the Aeolus Cult, Wright was basically able to affirm it at this moment... This girl is definitely an X sect!
