White Deer Fort.

The Pande Bank headquarters is quiet.

At present, the branches in Changhe City and Lion City are the main locations for business, and the main work of the headquarters of White Deer Fort is reconciliation and coinage.

Of course, when it comes to cash reserves, it's more than the White Hart Fort headquarters - all the gold, silver, mythril and other coinage materials are stored in the underground warehouse of White Hart Fort.

Leon and Charles are also in the underground warehouse.

This underground warehouse was originally the prison of Fort White Hart, and was once used to store potato seeds, completely underground—or in the heart of the hill where the main building of Fort White Hart is located.

A few hours ago.

When he saw Leon, Charles seemed calm.

"Your Majesty, I know I may have made a mistake, but I dare to tell you only the reason for it now......"

Leon didn't ask anything, and Charles took the initiative to tell Leon what had happened.

Charles had been preparing the frontier at Fletcher, and was also stockpiling supplies according to Leon's instructions—those sold to the Cato had been stockpiled months earlier, and the plan had already begun to be implemented when Leon asked Ramon to buy sheep, not improvised.

Fletcher also has a statue of Leon—also built by Charles, at the same riverside camp where Leon fought, right at the bridgehead.

There are two sculptures at the head of the bridge, one is the goddess of order, Yunomia, and the other is Leon.

Charles would go and talk to the statue every day, and pray to the goddess of order by the way—he did regard Leon as an idol and put him on an equal footing with the goddess of order.

The goddess of order is the belief of most people in the Lion Realm, and Charles 'believes' in Leon, so he built two statues so that the people and himself have spiritual sustenance.

It is indeed a bit inappropriate to worship Leon as a god, after all, Leon is still a living person......

However, equating one's respected leader with the gods is normal in many places, and it's not out of the ordinary, so no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

At the beginning of September, Charles encountered a wonderful thing.

The statue spoke.

But it was not Leon who spoke, but the statue of Yunomia.

Charles said that the voice went straight to the soul - Leon could understand it, because he had heard Yunomia's voice too, heard it many times.

At that time, Yunomia said to Charles, "You should not worship evil spirits from other worlds......"

Otherworldly spirits?

Charles didn't understand what that meant.

But the goddess came down and spoke, and this frightened Charles very much.

So he told his esteemed elder, Heriward, who was stationed at Fort Brave.

Of course, Hereward didn't understand what this meant, he thought that the goddess sent an oracle to Charles, which probably meant that the goddess of order favored Charles, maybe the goddess was just warning Charles not to be tempted by evil spirits.

But Charles knew that he himself had not encountered any temptations, that he was not the kind of person who had a strong desire for power and wealth, and that he was content with his current life and status.

Moreover, it is completely unreasonable to say that the goddess of order favors herself - Charles does not believe in the goddess of order at all......

is not a believer in the goddess of order at all, why should the goddess favor herself?

Maybe this voice is an evil spirit, right?

Charles thought that the statue of the goddess probably couldn't be kept......

But the problem is that the vast majority of the members of Hereward and the Horn Call Ranger are devout followers of the Goddess of Order, and Charles didn't dare to tell them that he didn't believe in the Goddess now, and certainly didn't dare to destroy the idol.

After returning to Fletcher, Charles began dreaming every day.

And those dreams were like prophecies—he could always dream of real things that were happening thousands of miles away.

First, he dreamed that Leon had been seriously wounded by a javelin on the battlefield - this was indeed a fact that was happening, but Leon was near the port of Dilin, thousands of miles away from Charles.

Then he dreamed that Amy was leading the farmers to reclaim the land in the town of Baranli, and unfortunately he was bitten by a poisonous snake in the grass, but fortunately the farmers rescued him in time and there was no serious problem—even Leon did not know about it.

Then he dreamed that there was a riot in the area of Crag Bay, and the farmers and merchants were looted again and again by the Fieldswei, and they were about to lose their lives, and launched a large-scale uprising.

After that, Charles began to dream about Leon continuously.

From the time Leon set foot on the Pander continent to the time Leon went to the port of Emperor Lingang - except for the year when he was struck by lightning and disappeared, almost everything appeared in Charles's dreams.

Charles was like watching a series about Leon in a dream.

Until mid-September.

It was the last dream Charles had, in which he 'saw' Leon and a woman whose face he couldn't see clearly was in a strange chaotic space.

The woman was like a phantom, and I couldn't see what it was.

And that Leon, Charles always felt that there was a difference, but he couldn't say what the difference was.

Probably, it looks like Charles was when he first met Leon at the gates of the House of Lords—probably a few years younger than he is now.

"Charles, go and cooperate with the Cato warlord Zakar, and let the Catons occupy the town of Changhe......"

In the dream, Charles heard the young Leon say this.

It was indeed Leon's appearance, and it was indeed Leon's voice.

Of course, Leon's orders had to be listened to, but Charles was still a little hesitant at the time, and he asked, "Your Majesty, why did you do this?" The...... Who is the lady? ”

"She is God. Charles, if you don't, Leon will die, and so will you...... That demon will eventually kill everyone, just like Hereward did! ”

The two men left such a sentence and disappeared, and in their dream it was Herry Ward, who Charles dreamed that Herry Ward had died of.

A day later, Charles received the bad news from Fort Shield - Hereward had indeed passed away from an illness!

Charles personally investigated, Hereward was not killed by someone, he really died of illness, this is not a man-made conspiracy, this is indeed a revelation of the gods!

…………

"Your Majesty, I know that all my dreams are real—just like Uncle Hereward...... Even if their words are malicious intimidation, I must obey them, or else...... I'm not afraid of death, but I can't gamble your life. I went to Zakar as His Majesty had told me in my dream, and let his troops enter the hinterland from the Noldor Forest, but I restrained him from plundering in the realm, or I would not cooperate with him. ”

Charles smiled bitterly: "But after being locked up here, I figured out that I might have fallen into evil - that person was talking about 'Long River Town', not 'Long River City'." Probably they are the evil spirits, and they disguised themselves as you to deceive me, which is why the goddess asked me to 'banish the evil spirits from the other world'. ”

"If only you could figure it out...... I don't blame you, on the contrary, I owe you a debt of gratitude, Charles. ”

Leon sighed with a headache.

He knew, but Charles didn't understand it at all.

But fortunately, Charles is indeed extremely loyal to himself, and he did not think about other possibilities at all, but made up 'the evil spirit disguised as Leon to deceive'......

He only dared to explain the reason to Leon, and it was also for the sake of Leon's reputation - it was 'Leon' who personally gave him the order, and Charles couldn't tell anyone else, nor did he think that Leon was 'unloading the mill and killing the donkey', but planned to carry this black cauldron himself.

Leon had already understood that the evil spirit that the goddess Yunomia wanted Charles to expel was actually Leon himself......

He is indeed a soul from another world, occupying the body of the original 'Leon'.

Originally, this was done by Junomia in order to manipulate the Chosen One against the Serpent Cult.

However, after the explosion of Azi Dahaca, his soul truly fused with Leon's body, and Yunomia was relieved of his control over the Chosen One - that is, Yunomia could not send Leon's soul back......

This kind of out-of-control soul is indeed an otherworldly evil spirit like an abyssal demon for the goddess......

The dreams Charles had were actually the goddess telling him that his current boss was not himself, but another soul.

The young man he dreamed of in the end was not himself, but the soul of that 'Leon'.

Charles began dreaming in early September, when Leon was wounded by an Agason attack in the village of Buyulin and stayed in Bacchus.

The dream lasted until mid-September, when Charles was instructed by 'Leon' to work with the Catu......

And in mid-September, it was when Leon met Kavala and Malbert in the port of Dilin.

In other words, after Leon was injured on September 1, Yunomia began to prepare, if Leon returned to Changhe City after being injured - it is estimated that Yunomia will not harass Charles, but will directly harass Leon himself like Kavala......

Because the beginning of September should also be the time when Kavala first started to do things—both gods should have started to prepare after discovering that Leon was seriously injured.

However, Li Ang did not return to the Lion Realm after being injured, but stayed in the Emperor Lingang to recuperate......

Originally, this was because the Knights of the Radiant Cross had a good way of treating traumatic injuries, and the chest cavity was injured and was not suitable for movement.

This just avoided the original preparations of the two gods - Bacchus was not the territory of Yunomia, and there were no statues of Yunomia or Kavala in the territory.

So the breathless Kavala went to the port of Terrin, with Ares and Malbert.

And Yunomia, who was calm, waited until mid-September, and waited until Leon locked Kavala in his soul space, and then brought the original 'Leon' to Charlestom and asked Charles to let the Gatu people enter.

Allowing Charles to lure the Cato into the long river may have allowed Leon to face a tougher battle again while still healed from his injuries.

She may have wanted to make Leon unconscious, so that the original 'Leon' could return to this body, or try to delay Leon's conquest of the continent.

Leon could actually understand why Yunomia was dealing with him......

Because the Snake Worship Sect in the Pande Continent has been purged, Kavala has also been imprisoned in his soul space by Leon.

Yunomia clearly wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and it would also send Kavala away by the way - banishing Leon's soul now would be equivalent to banishing Kavala with him, and Yunomia probably didn't want to miss this good opportunity.

In addition, there should be another very important reason - Charles built a statue of himself and placed himself alongside the gods......

That's what Kavala used to do.

Yunomia probably thought that Leon would become another Kavala.

Moreover, she could no longer descend to the earth herself, and she could only find a way to get others to kill Leon as much as she could—before Leon had enough faith to become a true god.

Stupid God......

Leon was a little helpless now.

Gods also have attachments—or rather, they can become gods because of attachments.

The teachings of the goddess of order, Yunomia, of course, are to keep the earth in harmony and order, and she must also know that only a unified Pande continent can have true order.

But if the king who unites the continent wants to become a god...... Like Kavala, then in Yunomia's eyes, this person is the cancer of the continent - her opinion is a bit extreme, but not wrong.

If it were Kavala's mind, if the Pander continent were to be conquered by him again, he would probably brainwash everyone into serpent worshippers, and then turn those who could not be brainwashed into the 'devoured' - so that he could be the only god forever.

In this way, it is indeed equivalent to the death of everyone - perhaps more terrible than death, a world where everyone is brainwashed, I am afraid it is not as good as the abyss of blood hell, at least there is true love in the abyss of blood hell.

As for whether Leon will be different from Kavala...... Yunomia definitely didn't want to gamble, one kavala was enough for her, and if she was unlucky enough to get another one, it would be ruined......

Yunomia knew better than anyone how Kavala had become a god - Kavala had never been defeated in battle, he was a knightly god in the eyes of the people, he was worshipped by many warriors, and in his old age he had become a god in the flesh.

And Leon is definitely more terrible than Kavala in the eyes of Yunomia, because Leon's process of conquering the continent is much faster than Kavala, and in just a few years, he has changed from a penniless poor boy to a king who controls half of the continent, and he is also good at making money, and he also solved the Red Death...... Nothing seemed to stump him.

This meant that not only warriors and lords, but also merchants, healers, and commoners would worship Leon - Charles was a clear case, he was a lord with little ambition, and the reason why he admired Leon was because Leon seemed to be able to solve all kinds of problems.

So, if Yunomia wants to stop Leon, she wants Leon to be defeated or killed......

From Yunomia's point of view, this is indeed the way it must be done—whether it is the Gatu, the Raven, or the Misty Mountain, anyone can do it, as long as they can kill Leon or prevent Leon from unifying the continent, and don't let Leon become a god like Kavala.

It's a strange thing like fate......

Leon and Kavala are both the chosen ones of Yunomia, but they are both targeted by Yunomia.

In fact, Leon is very aggrieved now - he really doesn't have any idea of becoming a god, and the matter of building a statue is also Charles's personal behavior, and Leon doesn't know it at all......

But that's how many things are, and the two sides of the hostile side may be for the well-being of the entire continent and for the future of more people.

Leon didn't blame Charles, and he really couldn't blame anyone for this.

Now the question is how to solve this matter - otherwise Yunomia will definitely continue to do things, and the goddess with obsession is terrible.

Leon wanted to see if he could communicate with Yunomia.

But this must wait for Wendy's return first, because only Wendy can summon Maltis from the continent of Wengdalion.

If you want to communicate with Yunomia, you can only do it in the soul space.

However, if the soul space is opened, that is, the protection of the soul is abandoned, then Kavala may do something - probably only Maltis can keep Leon from problems.

In order to avoid any other moths before Wendy returns, Leon first locks himself in the bank warehouse.

Just take a vacation, anyway, with Charles by your side, you won't be alone.
