The main building of White Deer Fort.

In a small room on the roof.

This room was the storeroom that Leon used to assemble grenades, but now it is a makeshift cell.

In the makeshift cell, two large rice dumplings are kept.

The two prophets were tightly wrapped around their bodies, except for their two heads, and even their mouths were tied with ropes and cloths.

"Two prophets, let me tell you the bad news first—your sister Lady Anna has been sealed through the gates of the abyss, and no one can save you......"

Leon didn't want to talk nonsense with the two prophets, so he mentioned Anna straight to the point, and then ripped off the ropes from their mouths.

"Spit! Leon, don't try to fool us! Without the Forbidden Demon Tower, no one in the entire continent can seal Anna now......"

Midia spat out the ball of cloth in her mouth, expressing disbelief.

Leon didn't speak, and pointed to Roland beside him.

Roland didn't speak, just nodded.

This paladin is certainly not lying, and these two prophets also know Roland, and he will not lie under any circumstances.

Midya's face changed: "Who did it?" …… Who else has this ability now? ”

"The Forbidden Demon Tower in Lion City was originally the one who first escaped from the abyss - the one that almost destroyed the Buckley Continent more than three hundred years ago, you should know that guy. Your goddess Ereda also left the earth to banish it...... But you've re-released it......"

Leon didn't answer, just shook his head and spoke to himself: "That's the powerful demon that caused the two goddesses of justice and darkness to be forced to leave the earth...... It's definitely much stronger than the one we encountered in Lion Lake City! You don't think Anna alone can deal with it, do you? ”

Midia froze for a moment.

"It's ...... It's true? ”

The prophet's voice trembled a little.

"Otherwise, do you think that the High King Kavala was full of food to repair that tower back then? Now there are many Noldor elves in White Deer Castle who participated in the construction of the Forbidden Demon Tower back then - in order to build the Forbidden Demon Tower, Kavala himself and many Noldor nobles contributed their blood! ”

Li Ang sighed: "In the garden of the tower of the House of Lords, flowers bloom all year round, why do you think that? Moreover, the prophet Madigan also died there...... Any idea why he died under the tower? That's not a place to be executed! - Because Madigan is a Noldor elf! His blood is as good as Wendy's! ”

It's not that Leon is guessing, these are all facts, Leon has already asked many Noldor elves in White Hart Castle, including the elven king Felgosaner.

More than 300 years ago, the Elven King Fergus Ann took many nobles of the Fenway family to the original city of Kavala.

Many of the designs of the Tower of the House of Lords in the Kingdom of Pande were designed by Noldor - at that time, it was difficult to build such a tall stone tower with the level of human architecture alone.

In the time of the Pande Kingdom, that tower was the House of Nobles;

When the Lion Kingdom ruled, it was the king's private residence!

No matter what crime was committed, no one would have been executed in such a place, except for Madigan, who was publicly killed there.

Madigan died one hundred and fifty years ago, when the original lion king Alfred was old, and Alfred destroyed a lot of historical materials before he died—the usurper must have known a lot of information, and he probably didn't want to waste Madigan's blood, which had the ability to ban demons.

Ever since he had gained a strong sense of perception, Leon had already understood that Madigan must have a strong magical power and had obtained a super sense of perception.

In addition, the Noldor elves are born with well-developed hearings, and the elves with more magical power have stronger visual hearing than ordinary elves - just like Wendy.

This makes Madigan have to wrap his ears blindfolded, otherwise he will receive too many messages at the same time, and his brain will not have time to process it, and his brain will be confused, and he may even go crazy.

The magic power in the bodies of the Noldor elves is probably not inferior to that of the Sindari elves, but they are born with forbidden demons and cannot use their magic power to materialize, but the strengthening effect of magic on the body's immunity and senses still exists, so they live a long life and are not susceptible to diseases.

The forbidden demon tower that Kavala built at the beginning used the blood of many elven nobles, including Kavala's own blood - there was a blood pool buried at the bottom of the tower, and the blood pool suppressed the original abyss demon!

The place where Madigan died, flowers bloom all year round, which is also caused by those magical blood.

At the same time, this is also the reason why the Elven King Felgosanel has always had a crush on the descendants of Kavala.

The Elven King was Kavala's comrade-in-arms, and together they fought against the Spooky Eye, the first Agraem to appear on the earth.

It's just that after Kavala's death, many nobles in the Pander Kingdom began to covet the beautiful Noldor elves, which led to three hundred years of hostility between humans and Noldor.

"I said it a long time ago! The Forbidden Demon Tower shouldn't be destroyed......"

Cersei next to her gritted her teeth and said, "But Anna just doesn't listen!" This stupid woman! I have to go to Ulrik's soul! ”

"Goddess...... We are guilty! We have failed your sacrifice ......"

Tears glistened in Midya's eyes.

The goddess Ereda was banished to the Void in order to banish the Eerie Eye, and the three prophets knew about it—they were the messengers that Eredar had deliberately left to guard the Abyssal Gate.

But by destroying the Forbidden Tower and releasing the Spooky Eye, they reimbursed Ereda for all his efforts......

No matter how evil the three prophets were, they were still loyal followers of Ereda and still had feelings for hereda.

It's just that there must be a big problem with their understanding of the teachings of the Dark Goddess.

All the while, the Dark Goddess has been misinterpreted as a heretic, hunted down, and hostile...... The three prophets had been resentful for a long time but could not defend themselves, so they simply broke the jar and broke it, and of course they could no longer 'turn their hearts to the light'.

From being misinterpreted to breaking the jar, the psychological imbalance, coupled with the ambition and desire that has gradually grown from no one to restrain them for a long time, have gradually made them go to extremes.

It was only in recent years that the Three Prophets had the idea of 'becoming a god themselves', so they didn't kill people at will in Buckley thirty years ago, they just wanted to defend the Goddess of Darkness.

After being deported to the Pander continent, they became cunning and cruel.

They are oracles, and they are misunderstood as hereticals, and they don't care much about the lives of ordinary people—in their minds, shells and skins are just tools.

Man's faith, his life, and all that he has are just consumables in the eyes of God.

It's just that, to people, they are cruel demons, evil spirits who disregard life.

But in any case, the Three Prophets still revered Ereda, the goddess of darkness.

The goddesses lost their freedom to expel the gloomy eyes, but they let them out again......

Now, they're really starting to panic.

Especially Midia, she even began to cry silently without saying a word, looking very self-blaming.

"Anna destroyed the Forbidden Tower to find Ulrik's soul? Why? ”

Seeing that Midia was a little autistic, Leon turned his head and asked Sercy.

"What else...... She's in love with Ulrique! Ulrike never complained about her until she was killed, but always defended her ......"

Sersi replied quickly.

"Wait...... How did Anna escape from the Lion City in the first place? You can't bring the corpse back to life, can you? ”

Leon remembered Anna's way of escaping.

"I don't know...... Anna was reluctant to tell us. ”

Sersi shook her head, "But Anna said that Ulrik's spirit was sealed in the Forbidden Tower, so she had to destroy it...... Midia also felt that destroying the Forbidden Demon Tower would give her a chance to occupy Amy's body and directly control the entire Lion Kingdom, so Midia also supported Anna's idea...... These two stupid people! ”

Leon certainly knew why Ulrik's spirit had disappeared - at the moment of his death, Ulrik was summoned by Alcia to the island of the creator god......

But he really didn't expect that Anna destroyed the Forbidden Demon Tower out of love?

"It's really touching love...... In order to find a lover, it is better to destroy the entire continent ......"

Wendy said with some emotion.

"What do I think...... Anna may have been deceived......"

Leon immediately understood what was going on - it was Kavala who had deceived Anna!

Because the only one who can help Anna escape from Lion City is Kavala—only he can drive the corpse, otherwise Anna would not have been able to stay on Ulrik's corpse at all.

Kavala may have learned from Ulrik that the two were in love, so he deliberately told Anna that Ulrique's spirit was sealed under the Forbidden Tower, which seemed like a fact to Anna.

The Forbidden Tower was destroyed by Kavala who tricked Anna into destroying it.

It was Kavala's own construction, and he knew that the Eerie Eye was inside......

In other words, Kavala deliberately released gloomy eyes!

Did he deliberately want to plunge the Pander Continent into a scare over the Abyssal Demons?

It's possible......

When is faith the easiest thing to come about?

A time of misery and panic, of course!

In the face of crisis, people pray devoutly—to the goddess of order, but also to Kavala, the hero who once suppressed the demons of the abyss......

But how could he guarantee that he would be able to deal with the Abyss Demon himself?

This gloomy eye is a terrible demon that the two goddesses were banished and could not be killed, and Kavala now has no body from more than three hundred years ago, and has lost the ability to ban demons......

Even if he becomes a god, he may not be sure, right?

Moreover, Kavala is not an abyssal demon, he is a native of this world, and he uses the orthodox way to obtain the power of faith through idolatry, if he becomes a god, he will definitely be limited by the rules of the creator god - when he gets the power of faith, he should no longer be able to fight in person with physical entities, otherwise he will be banished......

Hiss...... Wait a minute!

He has another identity...... The first High Priest of the Serpent Cult!

What if he could use the name of the serpent 'Azi Dahaka' to transfer the faith of the Serpent worshippers to himself?

This is very likely, otherwise what would he do if he made a snake worship?

Azi Dahaka is not a god, it is just a magical creation created by the elves of Sindari, and it is certainly not subject to the rules of the creator god.

And then there's Maltisse...... This is the Sindari Elf, who was born before the gods appeared! And it's magical......

If Kavala can use the spells of Azdahaka, or the body of Maltis, then he can really avoid the rules of the creator god!

No wonder he went to great lengths to come up with the Serpent Cult instead of a 'Kavala Cult', the High King must have considered all the possibilities......

Leon tried to substitute himself, simulating the life of Kavala......

The demons of the Pande continent are raging, and a hero appears, under the care of the goddess of order, conquers the north and the south to unify the continent, becomes the supreme king, and establishes the goddess of order as the official belief of the Pande kingdom.

Then, at the behest of Yunomia, Kavala began to destroy the laws of the various gods.

At that time, Kavala was a hero chosen by the goddess and an invincible king in people's hearts, but he was still just a pawn in the hands of the gods.

In old age, this chess piece is no longer satisfied with such a life - he does not want to die, and he wants to be a chess player!

So he began to build his own statues and temples on a large scale to gain the faith of the people.

But it is estimated that he soon received a warning from the Goddess of Order - after all, he was a close comrade-in-arms for decades, and the Goddess of Order probably told him a lot about the restrictions of God first, hoping to dispel his thoughts, after all, the Goddess of Order did not want any more gods in this world.

Kavala then circumvented the continent of Buckley and found the island of Gwendarion, the home of the Sindari elves, from where he found the Sindari elves Maltis, an elven body that could use magic and had a long lifespan.

At the same time, he also found a magical creation, the great serpent 'Azi Dahaka'.

Unomia was sure to be an obstacle to Kavala, so he lured the serpent out to hunt him down, forcing Yunomia to violate the laws of the creator god and drag Azi Dahaka into the void with him.

This process must be more difficult, and it is estimated that Kavala's physical body died when he attracted the monster.

However, the Goddess of Order is not so easy to fool, and after Kavala's death, her soul does not disperse, and Yunomia must have discovered the problem, so before the Goddess of Order was banished, Kavala's soul was sealed in the temple......

But Kavala was not expelled from this world after all, and the statues he built on the Pander continent made him have eyes and mouths everywhere, and he could still control many people remotely.

Then Kavala presumably remotely controlled the expeditionary force to establish the Serpent Cult, and also defeated the Third Legion of the Bacchus Empire, and established the Legion of Dread with Maltis as the leader.

In addition, Kavala himself served as the first high priest of the Serpent Cult - given that Kavala could speak with his statue, Leon felt that perhaps the first high priest was actually a statue, so he always wore a mask......

Compared to other faiths, Serpent worship is more special. Because snake cult followers often don't really worship the snake god - this is a pure brainwashing religion, and it also uses snake heart stones and drugs, preaching fear, despair and suffering, and pursuing the 'afterlife' and the 'kingdom of God'.

Even the former priestess Alyssa was a devout believer in the 'afterlife' and rarely mentioned Azdahaka.

Kavala must have shifted the logic of faith in this way - instead of idolizing the gods themselves like other gods, he used an ethereal belief that the Serpent worshippers would voluntarily give everything to the Order.

Faith must flow to doctrine, and whoever represents the doctrine reaps faith – like justice, order, harvest, and so on, and these gods represent doctrine in their own right, which is traditional idolatry.

However, in the snake worship, it is not the snake god himself that represents the 'afterlife' and 'good fortune', but the rules of the snake worship, or the high priest - in the rules of the snake worship, the high priest is the one who assigns the 'good fortune in the afterlife', and the high priest has the right to interpret the doctrine......

Serpentism is not idolatry, but functional worship driven by faith. This is also the typical logic of religious states – the 'messenger of God' is more authoritative than God himself. God is just a totem, only fools believe in God directly, and most people believe in leaders.

This is probably how Kavanagh transferred the power of faith to him, and the god who pushed out was the serpent Aziz Dahaka, but it was he as the high priest who actually controlled and obtained the faith.

That is, he will never become a god and will not be limited by God, but the good thing is that it is not less at all......

It's just that the accumulation of faith takes time, but Kavala shouldn't be able to control a statue for a long time, and something probably happened in the middle, so the high priest of the Serpent Worship Sect 'died' very suddenly, leaving no heir.

Subsequently, due to the absence of a statue of Kavala on the continent of Amara, it was difficult for Kavala to directly control the Snake Worshippers, and the religious nation gradually lost its initial vitality.

In addition, the life span of those female priestesses was too short, and the four-year change they made was definitely not enough for the high priests to gain any power of faith - there was no television in these years, and the believers were replaced before they knew each other......

But even so, the Serpent Cult still occupies almost the entire Bacchus continent, and it is only in recent years that it has been counterattacked by the Ashmen.

In other words, Kavala is a two-faced false god, one side is the invincible former king, and the other side is the high priest of the snake worshippers...... Neither of them is a god, but the power of faith he receives should be no less than that of ordinary gods.

So Kavala didn't care about letting out the gloomy eyes at all......

Anyway, the gloomy eye can't do anything about him, with the strength of a god, of course, he can respond to all changes in the Lion City with no change, and by the way, it can also make people miss the ancestors......

No wonder he hasn't moved, if he has been left alone, who knows how many undead and fallen will appear in a few days?

It must be restricted, otherwise Kavala will definitely accumulate forces faster than himself......

But Leon can't storm the Lion City, even if Kavala doesn't use any magic skills, he is also an invincible supreme king, and when it comes to fighting, no one has as much experience as this old guy.

Gotta find some cannon fodder first...... And we need to get other countries moving......

"Two prophets, do you want to rescue Anna?"

Leon asked suddenly.

"What are you going to do?"

Midia was still shutting herself off, and it was still Sersi who was asking rhetorically.

"I'm going to ask you to give Anna some help so that you three sisters can be reunited."

Leon seems to be kind enough to reunite the three sisters.

"Do you still believe us?"

Sersi looked incredulous.

"Of course I don't believe you, but I believe Wendy and Roland...... If you want to rescue Anna, you must first kill the guy who sealed Anna - the pseudo-king in Lion City. Moreover, Isn't Anna looking for Ulrique? Ulrique is also in his hands. ”

Leon looked at Sercy, "Plus it's your responsibility to get rid of that gloomy eye that ran out of the Forbidden Demon Tower...... So, I want you to have Rock Cove declare allegiance to the Lion City, and take all your troops to 'defend the Lion City' - don't tell me you can't control Rock Cove......"
