"Astrid ......"

Looking at the angry girl, the northern warrior sighed slightly:

"This decision is a unanimous choice made by the tribes after a unified vote."

"His Majesty the Grand Duke intends to completely unify the northern border, and the migrated population will not be allowed to continue to exist in the interior of the country."

"If we are not willing to join, meet our ...... Only the repression of the army. ”

"His Majesty has already unified the interior of the northern border, and his army is no match for us tribal warriors, and at that time, our fate will no longer be in our own hands."

The girl stubbornly raised her head:

"Then we'll continue our migration north!"

"Our ancestors migrated from the south to the north to escape the war, and our ancestors, in order to maintain glory and faith, came to the sea from the mainland."

"We aspire to freedom, we seek to fight, and today we can continue to move and find a new home like our ancestors!"

Listening to the girl's words, the northern warrior's expression was complicated, and he sighed:

"Migration? Where can we migrate now? ”

"Our ancestors migrated from the rich south to the barren north, from the rich steppes and forests to the harsh straits, we have reached the end of the world, and we have no other place to migrate......"

"All the orders regard us as hypocrites, and even our former world friend, Khortsosh, has parted ways with us...... From the moment our ancestors lost the protection of the Lord and did not want to join other gods, there was no place for us in this world. ”

"Then we'll go south! We took a boat to Unity! Like our ancestors, like the Romans of history, go to the setting stars and the crescent moon in search of a new home! ”

The girl is stubborn.

The Northern Warrior smiled bitterly:

"Astrid, why do you think we, the descendants of the pirates of the North, are gradually giving up our adventures south in favor of hunting the monsters of the sea?"

As he spoke, he sighed softly and shook his head:

"Because, the times ...... It's changed. ”

The girl was silent.

She pursed her lips, her eyes seemed to be shining, and her expression was full of unwillingness:

"That'...... Are we going to bow down to the Grand Duchy? ”

"They want us to be subordinate, but they just want us to become vassals and laborers for them to reclaim the forests of the north, and they don't even want the old, weak, sick and disabled in our tribe!"

"As long as they are young and strong, and if they belong to them, it means that they will abandon our people, and without the protection of warriors, how can the weak survive in this strait?"

"Our Liberal Tribal Alliance respects and respects our elders the most, is this making us abandon even the last traditions, even our dearest and loved ones?"

Listening to the girl's words, the northern warriors were also silent.

After a long time, he said:

"In this world, there is nothing to do, it is completely arbitrary, I have asked the old people for their opinions, for the sake of the future of the tribe, they are willing to stay."

"The people of the North have never been afraid of sacrifice, and so is our Alliance of Free Tribes, they are willing to make a choice for the sake of the tribe, and this is also their battle."

The girl shook her head and insisted:

"Father, this is not right! This is a betrayal of the tribe! Our Alliance of Free Tribes has never been afraid of fighting, but we hate betrayal! ”

"Having abandoned our loved ones, abandoned our faith, what are we left with? We will only be constantly cannibalized by the Isaacs, constantly assimilated, we will only gradually forget ourselves, forget our roots......"

The Northern Warrior was silent for a moment, then said:

"yes...... But, so what? ”

"At least, our people have survived, and at least, our children have a new foothold."

As he spoke, his expression was solemn and he said:

"Astrid, let me tell you the truth, the sea has been different since three years ago."

"In the past few years, the demonic beasts in the ocean have become more and more powerful and restless, the pollution of supernatural powers has become more and more, and the difficulty of hunting demonic beasts has also become more and more difficult......"

"If it weren't for the protection of the temple, even our village would have been attacked by the tide of demonic beasts."

"Didn't you notice that in the past two years we have been hunting less and less, and the casualties are increasing every time we go to sea?"

"Unlike other tribal alliances, we can get power from the faith totem, and we can get divine help as soon as we are injured, our people are attacked by demonic beasts, and they are polluted by the dark corrosion of extraordinary power, and they can only fight against it with their own willpower and extraordinary strength...... Although the fighting power of our alliance is strong, we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"Even if there is no ultimatum from the Grand Duke, if we continue to stay here, we will only consume the lives of our people little by little, and we must make a choice."

Speaking of this, the warrior paused slightly, and said with a complicated expression:

"Astrid ...... It's not that we have abandoned faith and glory, it's faith ...... Our ancestors abandoned us when they migrated. ”

Listening to the warrior's words, the girl's eyes widened slightly.

She pursed her lips and shook her head as she stepped back:

"No...... I don't accept such a choice! ”

"There must be another way, there must be another way!"

With that, she turned and ran off into the distance.

"Astrid!"

The Northern warrior called, but the maiden ...... But he has already run away.

The voices of the two faded away, and the picture became a little blurry.

Charlotte knew it was time for her to "lower her eyes."

"A coalition of free tribes? Could it be ...... Are they really descendants of the free city-state? ”

"What they believe in...... Is it me as the Savior? ”

Thinking about the conversation between the two before, Charlotte was thoughtful.

Regarding the situation of the Free Tribal Alliance, her mood was a little delicate, and she sighed in her heart.

After all, the Miria Continent is a continent with gods, and even the supernatural power originally came from the gods, and without the protection of the gods, it is really difficult for mortals to survive.

If you don't master the advanced productive forces, you will sooner or later be eliminated by history, and in Miria, the "advanced productive forces" are the protection of the gods on the one hand, and the magic and alchemy techniques that have developed rapidly in recent years on the other hand.

The Free Tribal Alliance does not have either, so what awaits them can only be gradual extinction.

Of course, now that Charlotte has "discovered" them, there is no reason not to see them.

In any case, these people have already registered with her, even if they have not yet been officially incorporated into her faith network and become her "flock", but they have already marked her mark.

But......

"I didn't leave a holy emblem when I crossed over the second time, and how did they establish such a plausible connection with my faith?"

"That warrior who seems to be the leader of the tribe mentioned the 'temple', could it be something to do with it?"

Charlotte was a little curious.

Sensing the weakening connection, she increased the output of her divine power, wanting to continue to maintain her "gaze" for a while, while trying to see if she could talk to these believers directly in her heart.

Charlotte, however, failed.

She was surprised to find that although she was able to cast her gaze, see the picture, and hear the sound, she could not convey her own voice.

At the same time, she could not lower her own power.

She knew why, because these believers were not part of her faith network.

However, after Charlotte set her eyes on them, she could feel that they did have an aura that made her familiar and familiar.

"Something that must have something to do with me, something that became their object of worship, and made them establish a faith related to me, but ...... This thing has not received my power, or has not fully connected with me, so it has not entered my faith network. ”

Remembering some of the knowledge about the gods that she had seen in the elven tome collected in the central tower during the second crossing, Charlotte made a judgment.

To be able to become a believer, there must be an object to be worshipped, and it is also the core of maintaining the faith network.

This core can be a holy emblem, a symbol, a statue, or a holy relic......

And these cores that sustain the faith are connected to the gods, and eventually form the web of the gods themselves.

Thinking of this, Charlotte continued to increase the output of divine power, and at the same time, pursued the intimacy in the dark.

The next moment, her vision changed again.

She saw a majestic temple.

The shape of the temple is quite familiar, it is a lost ancient temple, but it is ...... Unlike the Ancient Temple, which is buried underground, this Ancient Temple is located in a magnificent canyon.

And in the temple, above the altar, there is also a small statue of the god.

Underneath the statue, a few priestly Northerners were muttering prayers.

"Faceless...... Idol ......"

Seeing the idol, Charlotte was stunned, and at the same time had a feeling that it was like this.

Faceless Idol!

In this canyon, there is an ancient temple dedicated to a faceless god!

No wonder these people were judged to be her followers, I am afraid not only because the other party believed in the "Savior", but also because the target of the other party's worship was the faceless god statue created by the "Blood True Ancestor"!

The surprise came too suddenly, Charlotte really didn't expect that she just glanced at it when she was curious, and there was an unexpected gain.

"I see...... Is this what they are trying to do? So...... They built a network of ownerless beliefs with the Faceless Statue, and the Faceless Idol was the core of the network. ”

It's like a local area network.

If Charlotte's faith network is the Internet, these believers have built a local area network with the Faceless God as the core.

However, this LAN is not completely unconnected with the Internet.

Obviously, as long as Charlotte can bring this faceless god into her control, she can completely "co-opt" these believers.

Charlotte thought about it, and was going to try to see if she could make a connection with the faceless idol, and then ...... Sure enough, it failed.

Unlike the followers of the Night Order, these people of the northern tribes, although they are also followers of Charlotte, do not have a complete connection with Charlotte.

In this case, Charlotte is unable to use them as a fulcrum to project power, and naturally cannot communicate with the faceless god through them.

Charlotte carefully sensed the coordinates of the temple.

Hiss...... A bit far.

If her divine power explodes, she will be able to go back and forth in a day or two with her legendary-level strength, but considering the consumption of divine power, it seems that there is no need for this.

Because...... She has a better option.

"It seems...... It's time for Sebas to get out of the way. ”

Charlotte muttered.
