Chapter Seventy-One: The Council of the Apostles of the Evil Gods
At night, people look up at the vast sky, wondering if they have ever thought about where the kingdom of the gods is.
In the ancient proverb, the gods are watching the world, taking in all the good and evil in the world, and labeling everyone, and those who are better than evil will go to the kingdom of the gods after death.
And those who are more evil than good will go to hell after death to atone for their evil deeds.
There seem to be gods in this world, and the standards of good and evil seem to be set by the gods.
So, I can't help but have a question, are there good and evil gods?
The Lord of Light has passed down the mystical teachings of the peoples, edifying the nations, and in that distant time, the Church was even the main force that sheltered human civilization.
The Lord of the Dawn brings light, dispels darkness, and purifies the world.
The Lord of Abundance brings abundant output to all living beings and nourishes all things......
In this way, the gods seem to be good, noble and holy, holy and majestic, holding supreme authority and sheltering all the nations of the world.
But have you ever heard of the legend of the evil god Elpheus?
The supreme evil god who gathers all the evil births in the world!
According to the ancient Bible, the gods gathered in the realm of the gods and fought a god war with the evil gods for tens of thousands of years.
After a long period of erosion, the tentacles of the evil god have once again extended to this land that is watched by the gods, and under his support, an evil church that believes in the evil god was born.
Externally, their name is the "Council of the Apostles of the Evil Gods", and how long they existed, where they existed, and how powerful they were...... None of this is known to the outside world.
It's just that in recent years, they have gradually become active, and they have begun to develop and grow silently in the dark corners of the world, and they are brewing some evil plans.
No one knows what they're planning, but can the gods do good things?
The first time Kanon and the others came into contact with them was during the inauguration of the previous lord, and they came into contact with them by chance, or deliberately.
The council executive named Quinn had only secretly instilled some teachings about evil gods in them, and there was one sentence that impressed him very deeply: "The nobles are the moths of this world, resist it, destroy it, and finally establish an eternal perfect American ......."
At first, Kanon and the others naturally didn't do anything, until the death of the lord and the entire Kana Territory was in a state of leaderlessness, they tasted the taste of being high.
Grain, medicinal herbs, furniture, salt, ...... Most of the trade channels are in their hands, and everyone depends on their breath to survive, the people support them, and the army is corrupted by them.
So, under this high-minded mentality, under the brainwashing over and over again, the desires and evils in their hearts were infinitely magnified, and in the end, they all degenerated into apostles of evil gods.
After officially joining this organization, the evil god's plan was also revealed to them, according to Quinn, they will use nightmares to control the lord, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the entire territory.
The follow-up plan was not revealed, but if they dare to control a barony, then the next step is likely to be a viscounty, an earlcounty, or even a marquis...... Even a king!
And after seeing the terrifying power of the evil god, a crazy idea was born in their hearts, if this plan is successfully implemented, then, it may not be impossible to build that eternal kingdom.
At that time, they will be the new aristocracy!
Temptation and lust are the origin of everything, and in this way they threw themselves into it, providing all kinds of livestock, precious herbs, and even human blood and organs to feed the "nightmare".
The cost of raising it is huge, which is why they chose to contact the three wealthy merchants, because they are the only ones who have enough financial resources.
Because the previous lord dog was too fast, Ryan naturally became their new target, and it just so happened that after the battle, he passed out because his body exceeded the limit of the load.
Such an excellent opportunity naturally couldn't be missed, but what they didn't expect was that the nightmare they had worked so hard to raise was shattered and absorbed by Long Jing as soon as it entered Ryan's consciousness space.
On the contrary, it was the dream created that caused a lot of trouble to Ryan, but fortunately, he broke through the high-level knight because of the blessing in disguise, otherwise the ending is really difficult to say.
……
Ryan listened quietly to Canon's story, calm on the surface, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.
It can be said that he really picked up a life this time, which made him feel a burst of happiness, and he worshiped the gods and Buddhas in his heart, but I don't know if the other party can hear the prayers from another world?
Canon took everything out like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and then curled up and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Even if he promised to save his life before, after listening to his story, Ryan still had the urge to slap him to death, whether it was raising nightmares with human blood organs, or colluding with cults, this was enough to kill him several times.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his nerves, although the other party was extremely evil, but he didn't really participate in the end after all, and brought valuable information to Ryan, otherwise he didn't know that the tentacles of the evil god had stretched so far.
Coupled with his status bonus as a wealthy merchant, he is an important chess piece to disintegrate the alliance of merchants in the Kanna Domain, although his main business is only to sell various wood products, but his industry also involves many aspects such as salt industry and wine industry, and the weight of the chips is not light.
Snorted coldly, Ryan said faintly: "Get up, since I have said it, I will naturally not regret it, I can guarantee to save your life, but if you are not obedient...... Hehe. ”
A few sneers sent goosebumps down Canon's body, and he suddenly said, "Great and merciful Lord Baron, I am willing to obey your call and dispatch. ”
After speaking, he stood up tremblingly, saying that he was now cornered, although he only had a glimpse of the power of the Evil God Apostle Council, it was already weird and powerful enough.
The reason why he sought protection from Ryan in such a low profile was not only because he was the Lord of Canna, but also because Ryan was already a mortal enemy with them, as long as he showed his value, Ryan would definitely do his best to save his life.
Can you get rid of the entanglement of nightmares, can you be an ordinary person?
He was right, his value was indeed very high, so high that Ryan wanted to kill him but had to refrain from it.
"Okay, you can choose to live in the castle, or you can choose to go back to your mansion, and I will send someone to ensure your safety."
Ryan waved his hand a little tiredly, signaling him to go down, although he broke through the high-level knight this time due to a blessing in disguise, but his body was still very weak, and he was very tired after a busy day today.
After Canon cowered and left, Ryan called Drade to give a few words, and then fell into meditation......
