Dozens of nobles were killed in a single day, including important figures of the Figuerola family, and a noble family with a long history was wiped out.

Such a tragedy is still shocking to countless people even in today's turbulent era, but what is even more bizarre is still to come, the person who single-handedly planned all this actually died after this, only a moment apart.

And Herodotus's unexpected death also made it difficult to turn from darkness to light, and the blood moon, which was preparing to expand wildly, would directly collapse.

This terrifying sect, which was regarded as a nightmare by the nobles of the West, was unable to maintain even its basic organizational structure after losing its supreme and only leader.

In order to deal with the hunt of the lords, Herodotus used a large number of one-line contacts, not only at the bottom, but also at the top of the sect.

This ensures the safety of the members to the greatest extent possible and avoids the arrest of one person and the implication of others.

This is why the Blood Moon is so difficult to eliminate, but it also makes many important members of the Sect unaware of each other.

Once Herodotus lost his brain, the whole church could no longer function properly.

Even if someone still had ambitions, they couldn't do it if they wanted to inherit Herodotus' legacy.

This is also the reason why Li Yu decided to assassinate Herodotus.

It can only be said that the special organizational structure of the Blood Moon Society, as well as the absolute centralization of power by Herodotus, make it extremely fragile while being efficient and rigorous.

Moreover, Li Yu also pointed out the smoothbore gun technology, combined with the strong mobility of the Wing Clan, it can be said that there is no one in the entire Western Territory that he can't kill.

Herodotus doesn't show his head, even if he dares to show his head, he will definitely die.

However, Zhu Zhigang did not use a gun in the end, but chose to face hard, which was still a bit unexpected by Li Yu, but fortunately, he was not injured and returned safely that night.

Upon learning of Herodotus' death, Miss Rabbit still couldn't believe her ears.

After all, the lords of the western realm had thought of many ways before, used all the means, and led a large army to besiege the city, but Herodotus was still alive, but his enemies fell one by one.

However, as soon as the Shuangxiu Sect made a move, Herodotus immediately burped a lot of face, and the contrast between before and after was inevitably too great.

Li Yu didn't think there was anything about it, the crushing of science and technology, and the blessing of racial talent, made it all seem so simple, and it was almost impossible for others to assassinate Herodotus, a master of assassination.

And the success of the operation is not the end, Li Yu also has to guard against the possible retaliation that may follow from the remnants of the Blood Moon Society.

With Herodotus' prestige in the Blood Moon Society, there must still be people who want to avenge him after he dies.

However, there are not many people who know Zhu Zhigang's identity, and he is useless with the only musket that can link Zhu Zhigang with the Shuangxiu Sect.

Li Yu estimated that it would not be easy for the people of the Blood Moon Society to find out who killed Herodotus.

And it was true, and for the next few days there was no attack, until on the seventh day, when Teacup Castle welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Are you...... High Priest of Quintus. Ilea looked at the ragged man in front of her, with a confused gaze.

It's hard to associate him with the serious High Priest of the Silvermoon Church from before.

Quintus nodded, took the water from the maid, and drank it with a clatter, and he drank four bowls in a row before stopping.

First, I was really thirsty, and secondly, because the water was exceptionally delicious, without any peculiar smell, and there was a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.

Quintus put down the bowl and wondered, "Did you dig another new well in the castle?" ”

"No, it's the work of the prophet Merlin, who built us a reservoir and purified the river inside." Miss Rabbit said.

She also likes to drink water now, and even drinks less wine, but she still chooses Coke when she has it.

Quintus was a little surprised by this answer, but not particularly surprised.

For he knew that the prophet was such a man who could take for granted all things that were inconceivable to others.

"You're from the Scaly City," the female lord paused before continuing, "I heard that you were ...... with Lord Gwen That ......"

"We were defeated by Herodotus and captured by his men." Quintus admits very dryly.

"Ha, it's good to see that you're safe and sound now......"

"I thought I was going to die this time, but Sir Elia, you should know what happened in the City of Scales by now."

"Well, Herodotus was killed by an assassin who came out of nowhere." Miss Rabbit didn't know what Quintus was about, so she didn't share the information she had.

Quintus nodded, "He's dead, the Blood Moon Society is over, and no one cares about me after that, and I'm free." ”

"How's Scaly City doing?"

"When I left, there was chaos there, almost all the members of the Raimundi family were executed by Herodotus, and there was no one in charge of the situation now, and many people were fleeing for fear of retribution from the Figuerola family."

Quintus couldn't help but sigh as he remembered what he had seen and heard along the way.

"It's terrible." The female lord also chimed in, "Is there anything you need my help with when you came to me?" ”

"Yes," Quintus said, "I know my request may be presumptuous, but I wish I could meet with Prophet Merlin. ”

"Why?" The female lord was a little wary, after all, the people of the Shuangxiu Sect had just killed Herodotus, and Quintus had been imprisoned by Herodotus for so long, and Miss Rabbit didn't know if he had defected.

However, Quintus's answer surprised the girl, "I have some questions for the prophet Merlin. ”

"But you're the High Priest of the Silvermoon Church."

"I ...... Have lost my bearings. "If I could, I would like to be able to follow the Prophet Merlin for a while and become his student." ”

"Are you going to join the Shuangxiu Sect?" Miss Rabbit was startled and almost jumped out of her chair.

"I haven't figured it out yet." "But in my current state, I really can't serve as the high priest of the Silvermoon Church anymore. ”

"Even if you say that...... You are still the High Priest in the hearts of the believers in Pithia, and you are the only remaining High Priest of the Church, if you also rebel...... Well, what will the other believers think when they follow the prophet Merlin? Have you considered the consequences? ”
