In the legend of Feldia, after Tiamagos, the dragon of judgment, led the Knights of the Apocalypse to kill the dragon of destruction, Nesalian, and the Scarlet Moon, the mortal era officially transitioned from the First Age to the Second Age.

After the mythology of the First Age came to an end with the Sleep of the Dragon of Destruction and the crash of the Scarlet Moon, the gods of good and evil finally stood in irreconcilable opposition to each other at the negotiating table, and this was undoubtedly manifested in the birth of these two outer planes.

After the strife of the First Age in the mortal world of Feldia, in order to further expand the influence of their ideas in the mortal world, the good gods and the evil gods added three new world laws to the end of the oath text of the Tablet of Destiny under the supervision of other gods who adhered to the principle of neutrality. The three newly added laws of the world are—first, the ideal of the supreme good, the rational existence of the mortal world in the form of an extradimensional realm; Second, the mapping of all evils, the plane of the outer realm of the form of the reasonable existence in the mortal world; Thirdly, henceforth, the inhabitants of the dwelling place of the gods will no longer have the right to directly interfere with anything earthly, and the gods who violate this contract will be deprived of all the priesthood they have acquired through the tablet of fate.

From then on, the gods of the abode of the gods finally gave the power to choose and control the fate of the mortal world to the mortal beings. Angels and demons were born in two new outer planes, and the demons of the Abyss Plane successfully invaded the underground world of the main plane before the end of the Second Age, where they slaughtered or expelled the underground creatures in a certain area, and established a territory called the Demon Race.

Demons are irritable, malevolent, arbitrary, violent, and immoral, and these powerful and evil madmen sometimes cannot even predict their own actions, because they themselves are the extreme reflection of this concept in the mortal world, and the thoughts of their minds one moment are likely to be overturned by their own will the next, which is not difficult to explain why they devote themselves to destroying and destroying everything, including their kind, as a lifelong pleasure.

In addition to this, demons resist any order that is attempted to be imposed on them. Unless they are controlled or ruled by inexorable high-level spells and unsurpassable absolute power, they will never be able to make any planned regular actions, and even the demon lords in the Abyss Plane will not be able to keep all the low-level demons under their command completely organized.

However, controlling the will of demons, an achievement that even many Abyss Lords cannot fully achieve, was precisely done by a notorious cult in the continent of Ferdia in the Fourth Age.

The name of that cult is none other than the Demon Shepherd's Cult.

Believing in the tyrannical god Bretta, the followers of the Cult of the Demons prayed for the end of the world, making the destruction of the Fourth Age the ultimate goal of their cause, in order to open the way to the future of the Fifth Age. Led by the four founding patriarchs of 、、、, the cultists found a way to enslave the demons, and succeeded in making a portion of the Sulphur Hell's subterranean demons soldiers in the form of magical contracts.

Purpura is not contagious, and causing a massive plague of purpura requires an equal number of demon baby hearts. In the Quaternary history of Ferdia, the only group that could possess so many demon infant hearts was the Shepherd, so Fein believed that the purple spot plague that broke out in Hurengel a few days ago was most likely related to some conspiracy of the Shepherd.

Coincidentally, with the small amount of information mentioned in the diary of the Black Knight Co'Vogart, Finn also knew that the Dark Alliance was operating in the three regions of the human kingdom, Melol Pit, Azur Harbor, and Hurenger City, so it was not difficult for him to guess that the realm of the undead on the northern shore of the St. Fern Sea might be in collusion with the cultists who had made a pact with the demons.

The only pity is that in the period before the outbreak of the cataclysm in the previous game, he did not stay in the area along the St. Furon Sea for too long, but followed a group of friends in the guild to the Gravel Wasteland west of the Violet Kingdom to level up and farm monsters, so he didn't know much about many of the plot events that happened on the St. Furon Sea coast during this time period.

If it weren't for the fact that at this point in time, through the Purple Spot incident in Hurenger City, he vaguely saw the shadow of the Demon Shepherd Cult hiding behind the entire incident, he would have thought that the first cooperation between the cultists and the undead who enslaved the demons was after the Great Demon Tide came.

Finn's gaze took his eyes off the face of the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed. With a little headache, he raised his right hand and gently tapped his forehead, thinking of the mission-level mission called the mission, and felt that the events that happened at this time seemed a little tricky, after all, the information he had now in his hands and some speculation he had made himself were not enough to help him successfully find out all the people behind this plague incident.

In addition, he knew that the future cataclysm would also come to his world next year at the latest, and the sense of urgency of time was always pressuring him, and the first companion he met in this life, the warlock girl Lilith who had lost her memory, fell into a deep sleep that could not be revived for a short time for some strange reason that was not clear.

So many broken things are stacked together at this moment, not to mention the legendary players of the previous life, I'm afraid that even the official personnel of "Ferdia" will be so distressed that their heads will become bigger, right?

"Forget it...... Although the church before the Reformation was not very reliable, there are some things that I cannot easily solve now. ”

After weighing the current situation a little in his heart, Fein decided to put aside some prejudices in his previous life for the time being, and then turned his head to look at the nun named Suya and asked, "Excuse me, is the Marshallese priest here?" ”

"That's... I'm sorry, but the Lord Priest left Hurengel by boat five days ago for a business trip to the Faentan Empire. Suya and Finn looked at each other, and then politely replied to the young paladin, "After the chief priest left, the Pope sent the priest of Mercas to the cathedral of Tiamagos and temporarily took over the position of the chief priest. As for Officer McCas...... The priest should still be in the drawing room to discuss matters with Count Drew. ”
