As the chief lord of the Santarim Society, Mansu has always been trapped by Ciric's freewheeling mind, and since Darksun took control of the Santarim Order, he has repeatedly changed his teachings, leaving the people at a loss.

The most typical example is that Ciric is particularly fond of issuing opposite oracles to his followers, and then gladly watching them kill each other, and in the dark sun, as the three-crowned king appointed by the gods, he is obliged to sow strife, betrayal, and fear, so Ciric sees this as a gift, a reward for his devotion to his believers.

Mansu thinks that Shirek may be imitating Bane, when the tyrannical god Bane ruled Santilburg, Bane also liked to divide his followers into two factions, conservatives and reformers, and Bane was happy to see his believers divided into two factions, and then the tyrannical god himself was the judge, which not only maintained Bane's authority, but also strengthened the ability of the church believers in the opposition, and allowed Bane to test whether the church's policy should be conservative or reformed at this time.

Bane's political wisdom is always embedded in his design of institutions and systems.

In contrast, Ciric has only learned superficial nonsense, the most typical example is that Ciric also encourages infighting among his priests, but the Prince of Dark Sun has never been a referee, and his subordinates must take the initiative to explain his strange and self-contradictory oracles, if the struggle is won, it means that they understand Ciric's supreme will, if it fails, then Dark Sun's intentions are good, and it is purely a priest's execution error.

What is the original meaning of the dark sun? That can only be guessed, anyway, the dark sun will never be wrong, because Ciric is a god, and gods are naturally more intelligent than mortals, and anyone who dares to question Ciric will end up dead.

There are two things that illustrate Ciric's schizophrenia.

As we all know, Ciric and Midnight used to be partners on an adventure together, because they were sent back to the Tablet of Destiny and were promoted to gods together, so the day of Shirek's ascension should be a major festival of the church, but Shirek was very disgusted with the demon goddess Midnight and explicitly forbade the celebration of this day, and asked believers to remember this day, but also said that believers would be punished if they mentioned this day without permission, because Midnight also became gods on this day.

Shirek asks believers to remember the noble history of his seizure of the Tablet of Destiny and his elevation to the status of a god, but he also asks the believers to remember the essence of his original god, that is, he has always been a divine being, and when it comes to the story of his seizure of the Tablet of Destiny as a mortal, any act that reminiscent of the contradiction between the two is considered an affront to the only true God of the kingdom.

"For the dark sun, forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal, and remembering history is tantamount to offense."

— Ciric of the Pantheon

Similarly, in the aftermath of the Bane Massacre, Shirek designated the last day of October as Bane's Day of Destruction, a purge that ensured Ciric's complete victory over the cult of Bane that had been held in Fort Santil, but the Holy Day was unexpectedly terminated when Bane's Son Sam rose again in Serre to declare his father's legacy to be remembered for his father's glory, and all references to it were erased from official records.

At one point, Shirek was close to Shar and secretly regarded the Night Goddess as a natural ally, as they both wanted to burn the world and rule over its embers, so the Shirek Church declared the Shar faith "acceptable" at one point.

But soon, with the rise of Aaron and the adjustment of Shar's strategy, all previous news of the cooperation between the two churches was blocked, and any believer who dared to mention the intimacy of the previous Shar church was either tight-lipped after being interviewed (only to find out later that his tongue was cut), or mysteriously disappeared.

As a result, the whole city lived in fear and instability all day long, and people did not know what to say and what not to say, so they could only shut up and show with their eyes or numbers.

Mansu couldn't understand what his master was thinking, but there was no doubt that he would have to fight to defend Santil Fort.

The master of the Santarin Society's face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Aaron Salian, a shameless child, who stole the divine power of my lord, but still claims to be the choice of the four gods of chaos, he is really a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, rude and unbeliever, and now he dares to offend my Moon Sea Holy Land, and offend the supreme throne of my dark sun master, this time it will be called Zilong There will be no return!" Like Ahsan IV! ”

At this time, there were also two heavyweights of the Santarim Order in the room, namely Celula Dark, the lord of Santil Fort and the commander of the army, and Axino Miroman, the high-ranking priest of the Shirek Church, who was behind Bane's death.

Axino also showed a very angry look: "Aaron Salion's shameless behavior and self-indulgence, our lord has already knew, he has given a death order, destroy Aaron Salian at all costs, and he will give you all possible support." ”

Mansu nodded, with the support of the first god under the god AO, this battle was much easier.

The other leader, Celullah-Dark, was not so optimistic, although she was also angry because of the Cormiers' provocation, she was more calm: "Lord, the plan of the Cormiers is very clear, they are planning to take advantage of our internal instability to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Moon Sea, the Bedai barbarians have surrendered, they have ample excuses, and our external environment is ...... Not very good. ”

"I don't think it's as good as this, it just so happens that Aaron Salian himself is leading a large army outside, and there is no one in the country, we can tell the Raven Duke of Zambia to attack Cormier, and take Susar and Sunset Collar directly, the demon elves in the Great Forest of Comanso are said to have a grudge against Aaron, and they can also communicate, as well as Drow in the Dark Regions, and ......"

Celulah suddenly fell silent.

"And what?" Mansu glanced at Celullah, and the Lord of the Santarin Order suddenly understood something.

Celula was the lord of Fort Santil, the supreme leader and supreme commander of the city's army, and a descendant of Furzor-Chebury, and although Cellula stayed behind after Furzor's departure, there was no doubt that there was still a connection between her and Furzor.

Mansu acquiesced to this connection, and as a former Bane voter and now a Hillek voter, Mansu understood better than anyone the importance of betting on both sides.

Politics has nothing to do with right or wrong, and many times it doesn't care about right and wrong, and you can't always put your eggs in one basket.

Celula's meaning is very clear, in the south of the Moon Sea, there is still a large army in the land of Ser that can be used as foreign aid, that is, the dark army with the Baan Divine Son Sham as the supreme leader and the commander Disma as the commander!

"Can you get in touch?" Mansu asked.

"In any case, Santil Fort is a holy place and a throne." Celullah was sure, "He won't let his father's throne fall." ”

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you to contact." Mansu looked excited, paced left and right for a while, and suddenly lowered his face and said: "Aaron has conquered the Great Desert and subdued the Bedai barbarians, and he will definitely know the result of Santarin's anger, it is impossible not to be unprepared, not to mention that my Moon Sea has just finished the trade war with Mulholland, if I take the initiative to attack, I will fall for Aaron's scheme." ”

After thinking about it, Mansu continued, "Immediately contact the Church of the Lady of the Night and tell them that they don't want to see the banner of the Silver Madonna planted at the head of the Moon Sea, right?" ”

"This is no longer a secular war, this is a holy war, a war between gods!"

"Aaron dared to attack the Moon Sea in the name of revenge...... Gotta punch be made! This will be the largest battle in the north of the kingdom since the Tucan invasion. ”

"Yes!"

…………

May 1368 in the valley calendar, Valley of the Shadows.

This is the second time Aaron has come to the Valley of Shadows, this time Aaron only brought a small retinue, he left his army behind, and personally came to visit Ilminster, the great sage of the Valley of Shadows, for the second time.

Buyer was left in the Great Temple of Adas, accompanied by Aaron only the great dragon dragon Egir, the priest Miss Eleanor and the little pirate Edward Ditch, and a team of Varangian guards led by Harald the Ruthless, the king of Bede, who had just surrendered, and his son White-robed Hafdan, a total of more than 500 people.

It seems that Aaron is defenseless, but in fact, Harald the Ruthless and his son White-robed Hafdan know how strong Aaron and the dragon beside Aaron are, not to mention that these five hundred people are not enough for Egil to plug his teeth.

When they passed through the Mokou Mountains before, they accidentally encountered a group of abyssal demons, and as a result, Aaron directly grabbed the neck of the leading seducer with his hand and crushed the throat of the deducer with his bare hands, which made Harald embarrassed.

The white-robed Hafdan is eager to make meritorious contributions, as the son of the young king, after changing into a new serpentine steel equipment, Hafdan can't wait to give Santarin a little taste of the color, and the corresponding is the little pirate Tiki is also eager to try, the two young men fight all the way, and the other party subconsciously opposes what the other party approves.

On the way to the Valley of the Shadows, Aaron pulled out the Tzeentch Compass, "Bad news, ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the Santarim Society is not prepared to fight us directly. ”

"Let's keep these turtles!" The big dragon dragon Egil crossed his hands on his hips, showing his extremely hot body unreservedly, and the white-haired and black-silked dragon girl was still so confident: "When we are ready, I will personally pry open the distinguished guests of the Santalin Society, quack, and bombard them to the ground!" ”

"Aaron, the Santarim Society is clearly ready, are we going to fight again?" Eleanor was dressed in pure white priest's robes, bathed in the cozy weather of the Valley of Shadows, both holy and full of love, so that Aaron couldn't help but want to bully her, Miss Priest obviously didn't want to fight, she preferred to start the plan to green the desert now.

"Of course." Aaron nodded: "The Santarin Society is recruiting, they are looking around for allies, and of course we can't be idle. ”

The Valley of Shadows is still as warm and indifferent to outsiders as it was the last time they visited, and Aaron and the others have deliberately kept a low profile to disguise their identities, while the people here are focusing on Aaron Salion's conquest of the Enook Desert and his declaration of revenge against the Santarin.

According to Titch's investigation, rumors have been rampant in the Valley of Shadows lately, and the little pirates have collected some of them.

"Revenge, to put it mildly, who knows what the Cormiers are planning? Maybe they're just fighting for profit. ”

"The conquest of the Cormiers will only bring trouble, the Valley of Shadows will be the front line of the war, we should immediately draw a line with the Cormiers!"

"No, no, the Santarim Society is the culprit of all the disasters, and over the years, have my Shadow Valle people been attacked from the north less? We should take this opportunity to join the Cormier army and settle the shadow of the Santarins once and for all. ”

"Aaron Salion, isn't it the hero who rescued Waujin from the bottomless abyss? He's always had a grudge against the Santarin Society and the Dark Sun, so it's understandable. ”

"Hey, it is said that the condition for him to successfully submit to the Bedai is that the Bedai ask him to put an end to the blood and sand on the black road."

"Isn't it? When it comes to the hatred between the Bedees and the Black Net (another name for the Santarin Society), there are no three days and three nights to talk about. ”

"The Cormiers better get out of here, and neither does the Sea of the Moon."

Aaron didn't say anything special about the rumors, he had come to see Ilminster.

All along, the four Chosen Ones of the Goddess of Magic have been guarding the safety of the Valley of Shadows, preventing the Santarim Society from crossing the valley to further expand their influence.

The Great Sage Ilminster, one of the Seven Sisters of the Northlands, Storm-Silverhand, and Silverhand, also one of the Seven Sisters, and Dolf-Eaglehand, the Knight-Dolf-Eaglehand, who is also one of the Seven Sisters.

Just as the Santarim Society is gathering alliances everywhere, so is Aaron.

And if he can get the support of these natives of the Shadow Valley, Aaron's high-end combat power will be guaranteed.

What's more, Aaron believes that Midnight, the goddess of magic, must be happy to see that Ciric is in big trouble.

I have a good relationship with Ilminster, and I am Ilminster's theoretical grandson-in-law, so I should be able to get the support of this old man, right?

Ionum of Nessreel, Lalock, King of Warlocks, and Ilminster of Shadow Valley, these three guys represent the ceiling of the realm's spellcasters.

With this in mind, Aaron knocked on the door of the Ilminster Mage's Manor.

However, it was not Ilminster's apprentice or servant who opened the door, but two of Aaron's acquaintances.

Elistra swears to Drow, and Vanessa and Kafka are waiting for Aaron at the door.

"You guys?" Aaron said in surprise.

"You're finally here, Grand Duke Green, Grand General Cormier, Captain of Waukin, Enemy of the Six-Fingers......" Vanessa struggled to recite Aaron's title, and it was evident that the drow was not very good at remembering the title of the person she needed to please like a human.

"Okay, okay, no need to say it." Aaron hurriedly shook his hand, he found that Vanessa and Kafka's eyes were a little evasive, and he simply asked directly, "Is there something wrong?" Why are you here? ”

"That...... My lord wants to see you. Vanessa was embarrassed and a little embarrassed and said, "He himself came." ”

"He's waiting for you upstairs." Kafka also hung her head in embarrassment: "Please be sure to meet my lord, by all means." ”

My lord? Eliseste?

The Dark Girl is waiting for her upstairs in Ilminster's house?

Aaron was a little overwhelmed, thinking to himself which play Elistry was playing?

After a moment's thought, Aaron immediately made up his mind.

See, why not?

Su Lun Ma Ma said that he wanted to make up for me a goddess, and I, as Ma Ma's favorite child, of course I had to meet Ma Ma's wishes!

Today I am going to tell Su Lun Ma what filial piety is!
