343 The night is forever, and the dawn is coming

"Since the Duke has been to the Holy Maiden of Gwentoline, I will not say anything about the matter before the law of the secondary mask", Vance began in a hoarse voice, and it was indeed very brief, and it was finished in less than ten minutes.

After the commoners are sealed off by the magicians to the City of Shadows, the Holy Maiden of the Night will appear, and the dawn will be reborn. After the wave of rebellion is crushed by the magician, the dawn will disintegrate, and the rebels will not disappear. They buried faith, history, and hatred deep in their hearts, passed down from generation to generation, waiting for the light to come.

More than fifty years ago, the dawn appeared, and another saint of the night was born, Gwentoline, whom they called "the old woman". This gives people hope that the Dawn Society will be reunited because of her.

As Gwentoline grew older, she did not show any special abilities other than her extraordinary beauty, compassion, and constitution that was not eroded by the environment of Shadow City, which caused a disagreement within the Dawning Society on its course.

Most people believe that since the Holy Maiden did not bring great power, it means that the Shadow City still needs to endure and wait. A minority believed that the arrival of the Holy Maiden was a sign that preparations should begin for violent resistance.

The two factions were at odds with each other, and the "forbearance faction" was afraid that the "violent faction" would repeat the tragedy of more than 900 years ago, so they took the initiative to eliminate the violent faction, and the two sides broke up.

In order to distinguish the Patience faction, the Violent faction established the Night Society, which hid in the shadows to fight back against the Patience faction that usurped the name of the Dawning Society, and inadvertently, developed into the most powerful terrorist organization in Shadow City.

Over the decades, grievances and grievances have been intertwined, ideas have been intertwined, and the image of the two organizations in the eyes of outsiders has not been uniform.

In the eyes of some, the Dawn would be the Black Glove that ruled the Shadow City for the magicians, and the fact that the magicians were able to acquiesce to the presence of the Gwentoline Saintess was enough to show that they were the puppets of the magicians. The Dawn Society is full of sinners who oppress their compatriots and bully others, and the dark night to eradicate these evils will be a righteous rebel.

Others believe that the Dawning Society is the true organization of justice for the benefit of the civilians of Shadow City. The backbone, led by the Holy Maiden of Gwentorin, used radical means such as persuasion, petitions, and even blackmailing the city council to fight for better treatment for the civilians of Shadow City. And the Dark Night Society, which is against the Dawn Society, only knows how to kill people, and is naturally a violent terrorist.

Hearing this, Li Qi expressed a sigh of emotion: "No matter how strong the barrier is, it cannot be separated from the influence of the power structure. ”

Behind these two factions, there are different factions of magicians.

Vance then talked about why the Night Society attacked Richie: "Some wizard families have given us such a commission, and we also think that killing His Excellency the Duke is in the good interest of Shadow City. ”

Li Qi was stunned, when did he stand on the opposite side of the revolutionary cause and become a reactionary who was determined to be punished by revolutionary aspirants?

"The Duke came to the Storm Islands to represent Queen Theresia and deepen his cooperation with the magicians. Of course, you'll look at the bigger picture, and instead of helping the suffering civilians of Shadow City, you'll acquiesce in such evils. In this way, even if the mages open the Storm Islands and return to the mainland, Shadow City will not be able to get moral and substantive support from the mainland, and the Order Alliance will only protect the interests of the mages. ”

Li Qi smiled wryly, this analysis does make some sense, but it only stays at the level of street political movements.

Naturally, Van Si didn't know that the small chess game of Shadow City was also a pawn in the big chess game of the Storm Islands. In this two-tiered chess game, the relationship between the mage and the civilians of Shadow City is no longer constant, but there is room for loosening.

The Queen's faction, led by Hathaway and Menesus, in order to gain absolute superiority in the reorganization meeting of the High Council, uses the civilians of Shadow City as pawns, and prepares to push the Fragrance faction to the opposite side of the majority of the majority of the Storm Islands, thus uniting small and medium-sized families, independent workshops, and free mages.

Even Li Qi himself was assigned a task......

In addition to the fact that the political horizon is not broad enough, the more important reason for Vance's judgment is probably the position. Behind the Dawn Society is the Queen's faction, and the Dark Night Society's proposition is not reform but revolution.

Vance continued, "The families also promised that if they killed the Duke, the night would gain more support. This support will be translated into the power to overthrow the tyranny of the magicians when necessary. ”

That's the key!

As an organization, most of the activities of the Night Society are aimed at the Dawning Society, and it has deviated from the path of resisting the tyranny of the magicians, and it is inevitable that it will be used by the Fragrance Sect family.

Just as Gwen Tolin described the trafficking of compatriots for the benefit of his compatriots, Vance's argument is nothing but self-deception.

As an organization, once you have embarked on the road of hard work, can you still stop?

So Li Qi is even more curious about the "Son of Dawn" that was inexplicably planted on his head, what is this thing that makes the night club return to the right path?

"This brings us to the oracle of the Night Maiden", said Vance, "Every Lady of the Night brings the Oracle of the Night Maiden, which is also the standard for identifying the Holy Maiden." ”

"A thousand years ago, the Holy Maiden of the Night was born, the faith of the Night Lady was restored, and the Dawning Society was reborn. ”

"This holy woman...... Now that no one knows her name, she has brought an oracle: the night is forever, and the dawn is coming. ”

"More than fifty years ago, the Holy Maiden of Gwentoline was born, and this oracle reappeared. ”

"There are many interpretations of this oracle, most believe that it means that the Night Lady will bring light to the Shadow City, and some even believe that the Goddess of Dawn is another identity of the Night Lady. ”

"Some people believe that it is impossible for the Night Lady to have two diametrically opposed priesthoods, the Night and the Dawn, which is either the goddess of the dawn or another deity. The Night Lady was merely prophesying about the future, leaving the believers of Shadow City to wait patiently. ”

Richie keenly noticed the unfinished meaning of Vance's words: "Or is it the Goddess of Dawn?"

"Yes, we don't think that the Goddess of Dawn, represented by the Aurora, will be the deity who will save Shadow City. ”

Van S said, "The Dawning Star has agreed to the Oath of the Broken Tower, and Queen Theresia, who has inherited the grace of the gods, is the spokesperson for Kem, and Kem has always been there. ”

Rather, Kem's priesthood is order, not liberation.

Liuyin said impatiently: "Isn't it obvious that the dawn here is just an imaginary finger, and it does not represent the goddess of dawn." Ms. Crimson's faith is great love, the emancipation of slaves. The Pope of the Crimson Lady, the Duke of You, has returned to the Storm Isles. Seeing the Crimson Lady as the dawn of liberation, isn't you, the Duke, the spokesman, the son of the Dawn?"

She pursed her lips, "But I don't believe much, an Assassin Pope?"

This is also too far-fetched, Li Qi sneered: "Since the matter is so obvious, why did you attack me in the first place?"

"We didn't realize this at the time," Beshwu interjected, "Duke, after you panicked the magicians at the auction, we started thinking in this direction. ”

Quicksilver nodded and said, "That's right, the magicians have been in a mess for the past two days, and many free magicians and magicians have been hiding in Shadow City. Saying that the Duke threw out what kind of law was blocked by the big families as an evil god forbidden words. He also said that that law could make them live a good life, and the big families were completely depriving them of a better future by doing so. ”

Li Qi was speechless, the result was still the credit of the little boy, is this the additional damage caused by the shockwave?

Vance continued, "The family that entrusted us with it was also silent, and the magicians who sympathized with us brought in the details of Lady Crimson, as well as the statements you had made, which made us finally certain that Lady Crimson is the Dawn of the Night, and that you are the spokesperson of Dawn, Duke, and we call them the Sons of Dawn. ”

"Sympathize with your magicians......"

Li Qi sneered secretly, sure enough, it was the Fragrance Sect that was pushing you.

Fan Si sensed Richie's suspicion, and said solemnly: "We also have comrades outside the Shadow City, absolutely reliable!"

All the "reliability" of the past is an investment, in order to sell you at an important moment.

Li Qi did not continue the topic, and asked again: "But all of a sudden, it spread as if the whole city knew about it......"

Beshwu scratched his head: "Everyone is so excited, using rats to pass messages to each other, we didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

This pit is too rough, isn't it, so many traces are not hidden?

Li Qi held the mentality of seeing the pit completely, and asked the key question: "So, what do you want me, the son of the dawn, to do?"

The people were silent, and after a long while, Van Si said, "What to do, shouldn't it be arranged by the Duke?"

He straightened his back, which was excruciating pain for a man on crutches covered in bandages, but he did it.

Just listen to him: "We believe that the Duke is the son of the Dawn, and as long as the Duke commands, the night will be willing to make any sacrifice to welcome the dawn." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn around and sell you?"

The smile gradually froze, not only Fan Si, but also Quicksilver, Red Horn, and Mosh Wu all looked at him solemnly, as if as long as Li Qi said a word, they would go to the soup.

He scratched his head and asked casually, "I don't know the situation yet, what were your original plans?"

"Destroy the Control Tower!"

Van Si said loudly: "This is the unfinished business of our ancestors!"

Richie sighed pityingly, "I don't think you can do better than your ancestors. ”

"The Duke only needs to call on everyone to rise up and resist, and at least half of the people in Shadow City will respond!"

Quicksilver's gaze seemed to look down on hell: "We'll find a chance before the magicians kill us!"

I'll you, you're going to use the sea of dogs...... No, SCV Haichong is full of the rhythm of the science and technology star spirit base?

"I need time to think about it", Li Qi couldn't bear to face the bait thrown by the Fragrance Pie. They represent the will of the people of Shadowcity to resist, and they are not afraid of sacrifice, but they have been reduced to puppets.

Vance asked bitterly, "Does the Duke want to weigh between us and the Holy Maiden Gwentoline?"

Quicksilver said angrily, "That old woman just wants everyone to continue to be dogs!"

Litch remembered something: "Gwen Toline is the former saint, who is the current saint, and what is she doing?"

Vance coughed and laughed, "Where did the current saint come from, Gwen Toline is the saint, but she is the most ...... Incompetent and cowardly saints. probably thinks that the identity of the saint is too heavy, and she announced her retirement more than 20 years ago, but she is still giving orders in the Dawning Society. ”

"There is a rumor that there is a new saint, but the believers have not sensed the oracle and have never shown their faces, it is a lie made up by Gwyntoline. ”

There are too many conflicting statements, forget it, and I don't have time to delve into these details for a while.

Li Qi vaguely said to Van Si and the others: "I will give you an answer as soon as possible, don't give up hope." ”

After Richie left, Vance and the others were in a daze until Quicksilver sobbed softly.

The female demon warrior said with a crying voice, "Duke...... Don't trust us. ”

Beshwu sighed, "Maybe the duke still doesn't recognize himself as the son of the dawn. ”

Van Si handed the holy water and potion left by Li Qi to Quicksilver: "The Duke is still worried about your injury, he must be the son of Dawn, but he does need time to think about it. ”

The strong man Red Horn snorted a few times, and Fan Si spat out a turbid breath and laughed: "Yes, even if there is no Child of Dawn, we can dye the dawn with our own blood!"
