Chapter 454: The Birth of a Kingdom

"The Cult of the Divine Birds, which originated in the imperial capital and grew rapidly during the Hundred Years' War, became one of the religions of Horutia with members spread throughout Horutia, and they were the deformed product of the fanatical faith of the wartime, and the cultists did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to pass on their power to their descendants in order to gain favor.

So far, what the soothsayer said has not deviated much from what Lin Qiu has learned, and he has also seen with his own eyes how the crazy ritual was completed when he was at the transit station. But being able to say this made Lin Qiu feel that this woman was hiding some unspeakable secrets.

"You may wonder why I am telling you this. The soothsayer pursed his lips and laughed: "The fate you are eager to explore is closely related to this mysterious and fanatical religion. ”

This time, she didn't remind Lin Qiu to relax, and she didn't even let him put his hands on the table for divination. As soon as she finished speaking, an image automatically appeared on the silver crystal—it looked like a small town, with a group of men in red robes surrounding a group of soldiers in the square in the center of the town, and the whole town was bathed in a sea of fire.

Not long after, an old man came out of the building not far from the square, she dragged a well-dressed nobleman in her right hand, the nobleman's face was full of panic, and he was dragged to the central square without resistance, and the soldiers were terrified when they saw the nobleman. The crystal did not have the function of transmitting sound, so Lin Qiu only saw the captain of the soldier angrily reprimanding the old man a few words, as for the content of the reprimand, he did not know.

In the face of the captain's reprimand, the old man was full of disdain, and with a lot of force, she lifted the nobleman up like a chicken. At the same time, a flame rose from her palm, and the flame spread rapidly along the nobleman's clothes, and within a few seconds, he burned into a burning man, and as soon as the old man threw it, he threw the nobleman into the crowd, and the red-robed man who was watching raised his arms and shouted.

"That nobleman is the mayor of a small town in the country of Karla. The reflection on the crystal ended, and the soothsayer's voice rang out: "Karla is a small country of neutral countries, and it had a good relationship with the Helutia Alliance, but the relationship was broken down by the arrival of the Hundred Years' War, and the king of Karla conveyed the news of the Divine Bird Cult to the imperial capital three times, hoping that the imperial capital would send troops to suppress it, but it could not be answered before it was destroyed. ”

"Is it perishing?" Lin Qiu asked.

"In a sense, yes. In the absence of a plea for help, the desperate King Karla had to compromise with the Cult of the Sacred Birds. In the face of the compromised king, many villages and towns in the Kingdom of Karla rose up to try to resist the corruption of the Divine Bird Cult, but they all failed in the end, and all those who resisted the Divine Bird Cult were persecuted, and within a month, the Kingdom of Karla existed in name only, completely becoming the base of the Divine Bird Cult. And since the nominal king still existed, the Horuthia League was not even aware of the corruption of the Cult of the Divine Birds. ”

"So, you're from the kingdom of Karla?"

"It doesn't matter where I'm from, the important thing is that I can help you - since the founding of the Cult, the followers of the Divine Bird Cult have infiltrated various kingdoms, taking advantage of the void period of war, constantly absorbing the followers and passing on the power of some of them. In addition to the Kingdom of Carla, there are two other neutral nations that have become their main targets...... One of them is completely destroyed, and the other is the same fate as the kingdom of Karla. And now, they're eyeing it. ”

"How are you going to help me. Lin Qiu has figured out the trick, this should be part of Luther's memory, and as long as he imitates the reaction with Luther, he can know the history that the other party has witnessed. And he vaguely guessed the identity of the soothsayer—the prophet Ziegler was talking about, one of the members of the Eight Faces of the Dead, and maybe even the woman he had met on the battlefield who could turn into a blackbird.

And this discovery made his heart chill.

This means that Luther's coup d'état and Ziegler's obsession have been the root cause of the founding of the Kingdom of Taron from the very beginning.

Eight out of ten sentences of this woman are true, and all her purposes are hidden in the remaining two sentences, if Lin Qiu didn't already know about the conspiracy of the Chaos Sect, I am afraid that she will also be deceived by this woman.

As the chief of the kingdom's guard, there are probably few people who care more about the country than Luther.

"The Cult of the Divine Bird began to infiltrate a small nation, often starting with the king, all thanks to the power of the gods they believed in...... Phoenix, the god of life and fire sung by the cultists of the Sacred Birds, will find a way to make some kind of deal with your king, and if a deal is made, it will also be a sign that the country is about to fall into the abyss. Another truth is that the god of life and fire is actually a monster that lived in ancient times, and in the course of a thousand years of life, she has learned the ability to mimic humans. ”

"So I should stop the deal from being completed?" Lin Qiu said in accordance with her words.

"Nope. ”

The soothsayer shook his head and said, "It's too late, the deal has already been made, and the deal between the monster and the human is irreversible." ”

"So what should I do?"

"Let him build this kingdom. Monsters usually keep their promises, and this place will indeed become Holutia's trading power, as King Ryan has promised...... But stop Ryan before he can turn the kingdom of Tarun into a lair of the Cult of Sacred Birds. ”

She paused, and lowered her tone: "Even if you have to kill him, otherwise the reflection in the crystal ball will be your final end...... Died in a dark prison. ”

The soothsayer's words were full of demagogy, Lin Qiu guessed that the crystal begging that exuded a silver halo seemed to be part of the other party's marking ability, and her final tone was like giving an order, and at that moment, a willingness to obey suddenly arose in his heart. However, this thought did not last long, as if it was voluntarily expelled from his body by his scoring force.

If it were Luthor himself sitting here, even if he didn't believe a word of what the woman said, he would probably be controlled by the other party's mark.

Seeing that Lin Qiu no longer spoke, the soothsayer felt that his ability had come into play, and continued: "Leave it to me after stopping Ryan, and I will save your kingdom from Phoenix." ”

And Luther's memories came to an end, and the familiar dizziness and darkness struck again, along with Luther's self-talk:

"When Ryan said he wanted to build a kingdom here, no one approved of the decision, but as a knight, we can't resist the lord's orders. But things went well beyond anyone's imagination, we easily drove out the bandits, erected the walls, and the surrounding natives came here as they should, and Ryan succeeded in attracting the first caravans. Everything seems so logical. ”

"I didn't want to believe this woman's words, but now, everything that made sense was suspicious...... Ryan, did you really make a deal with the monsters?"

"I don't know...... But the doctrine says that when a lord is controlled by a monster, it is the duty of the knights under his command to put an end to his suffering. ”
