It is rumored that the Dragon Worship Cult was founded during the ancient Nethor civilization when the gods walked the earth and dragons and Titans coexisted, and the detailed date is no longer known, but it is certain that it was at least tens of thousands of years ago.

This era is really too long, so far that even in Jialan's original era, there is not much information about that era that remains, and only from those ancient files and classics, you can find a few words about that era.

Luckily, Jialan was born in the extremely large library of Fort Colan, and had learned some information about the Worship of the Dragon and its founders among some extremely valuable ancient fragments.

The so-called "Samast Holy Land" is actually the name of the Dragon Cultists, which actually means "Dragon Worship Holy Land", and the casters who know about it from the outside world prefer to call them "Dragon Witch Cult", an evil sect that uses the occult ability to perform priesthood.

Its founder, the "Sage" Samast, was not a great priest or a venerable clergyman, but an evil and insane necromancer.

Originally, the worship of the dragon cult was not a dragon, but an ancient undead dragon called "Drogosa...... A dragon lich, to be exact!

In order to attract the attention of the powerful dragon lich, Samast, who tried to obtain the power of the dragon lich, sacrificed his soul, and completely became the necromantic slave of the dragon lich Drogosa, and obtained the amount of dragon power he wanted...... He became a powerful lich.

Possessing great power, the Lich Samast has tampered with ancient prophecies. Founded the Dragon Witch Cult and gathered the believers to start creating his own army of death dragons, in that ancient era. The dragon lich army of Samast once ran rampant on the continent.

It's a pity that Samast, who was confused by the powerful force, was so crazy that he challenged the gods, and the end was of course self-evident, and the Dragon Witch Cult was destroyed by the major sects, and the surviving members were either hunted down or hidden.

This is what Jialan knew from the ancient dossier. There is a story about the first fall of the Dragon Witch Cult, but there is always a continuity in the story that follows for tens of thousands of years. The Dragon Witch Cult has risen several times, and then collapsed several times, gradually giving rise to branches, and the name of the religion has gradually changed to the Dragon Worship Sect.

As far as Jialan knows. As a matter of fact. The vast majority of short-lived so-called "dragon worshippers" in history were not actually created by real dragon worshippers, but by some powerful forces that worship death and dragons.

The Dragon Worship Sect that has truly obtained the inheritance of the Dragon Witch Sect has a total of five branches:

the Red Dragon Cult that worships the Red Dragon "Tip of the Night" Asadron;

the Green Dragon Cult that worships the Green Dragon "Zhan Qing Blood Storm";

the Black Dragon Cult that worships the Black Dragon "Black Dragon Queen" Dirt Grad;

the White Dragon Sect that worships the white dragon "Son of Winter" rime;

worship the Blue Dragon Cult of the Blue Dragon "Sharp Tooth" Ivy Korazagran;

As for the small dragon worship sects that worship other miscellaneous dragons, there are even more numerous, basically some forces with ill intentions, from the ancient book files, such a famous dragon in history. dare to use it as a signboard of the sect, and recruit troops in its name. The dragons couldn't even get them to charge them for their portraits.

And the relics of the Dragon Worship Sect where Jialan and the others are currently located are obviously one of the many Dragon Worship strongholds, but judging from the scale and pattern of the ruins, this place is quite formal, but I don't know that the Dao belongs to the inheritance of the Dragon Worship Sect.

Since he didn't have time to study the murals and reliefs in the ruins, Jialan was not sure about the detailed faction of the Dragon Worship Sect for the time being.

However, judging from the details such as the red dragon reliefs on the secret door and the dwarves calling him "Asadron", Jialan was very suspicious that this was the ruins of the Red Dragon Cult temple that worshipped the ancient red dragon "Tip of the Night" Asadron......

It's a pity that this Red Dragon Sect Temple has been in decline for too long, so long that not many people know what happened at that time, which will cause the sect's followers to suddenly disappear.

According to the narrative of the dwarven elders of the Uga tribe, about 3,000 years ago according to the human calendar, that is, around the pre-civilization calendar [Dawning Calendar: 700 years], the Dragon Worship Sect, which originally ruled this underground world, suddenly underwent some abnormal changes, and quietly lost contact with the vassal races under its command.

the near-earth dwarves of the Uga tribe of Gusyasdesen;

the cold spring tribe of the Toraksh swamp sea lizardmen;

the kobolds of the Hakazar tribe of the Cold Iron Ore Road;

the Dunbrook goblins of the Withered Hills;

After a long wait, the four vassal races that originally served the "Bailong Holy Land" finally began to try to regain control of their own destiny.

The first to start were the kobolds of the Hakazar tribe and the goblins of the Dunbrook tribe, two relatively weak slave races, with their strong reproductive ability, they became the most powerful of the four vassal races in a short period of time.

The lizard hunters of the Cold Spring Tribe, after being squeezed by the power of the kobolds and goblins, relied on their reproductive ability to be not weaker than the goblins and kobolds, and firmly strangled the only outlet to the surface of the underground world, the secret waterway located in the Toraksh swamp sea, severing the connection between their three major races and the outside surface world.

The Uga near-earth dwarves, who were originally responsible for the protection of the holy land, have become the most vulnerable group in this underground area after losing the protection and favor of their masters because of their sparse population and long growth period.

“... Now, we Uga dwarves, in the Gusyas Dessen area, there are less than 3,000 people left, and large areas of the forest are occupied by lizardmen, kobolds and goblins, constantly compressing our living space!"

The Uga Dwarf Elder of Bloodmane Village said with grief and indignation: "Originally, with the powerful combat power and superb equipment manufacturing ability of our Uga Dwarves, we could still suppress the invasion of the other three clans, but with the cold iron ore road blocked by the Hakazar kobolds, and most of the lava rivers were cut off by the Dunbrook goblins, we have lost the advantage in equipment..."

"Coupled with the Cold Spring Lizard Hunters, and the support they received from a large amount of surface equipment and supplies, we are almost unable to resist...... But now, you have returned, and you will definitely lead us Uga Dwarves to destroy those traitors!"

The dwarven elder looked at Jialan with some fanatical enthusiasm: "Please summon the 'Holy Land Guards' and the 'Guardian Dragoons' to kill those rebels!"

Jialan Khan summoned the "Holy Land Guard" and the "Guardian Dragoon"? I don't even know what it is!

The so-called "Holy Land Guard", Jialan can probably guess, may be those golden skeletons and bone knights in the cemetery on the second floor of the ruins, but what is the "Guardian Dragoon"?

With a dry cough, Jialan diverted the topic: "You just mentioned that the Cold Spring Lizard Hunters have been supported by surface materials?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The old dwarven elder got up with some difficulty, went to get some weapons and armor, and showed them to Jialan: "This is the trophy captured in the battle, but unfortunately it is only some inferior goods, and it does not have much effect on us dwarves!"

Well, with the dwarves' exquisite forging skills, it is true that they can despise the vast majority of blacksmiths, Jialan took a weapon and looked at it, the quality of the battle axe is not bad, and the price on the market will not be less than 10 Kintaran.

As for the half-body armor, it was obviously used by humans, and the lizard-hunters were about the same height as humans, only slightly emaciated, but they could be used for a living, and with the standard oak barrel body of a dwarf, they didn't expect to be able to wear them.

Old Jimmy on the side also took the half-body armor and looked at it, but he sighed, which attracted Jialan's attention, and he pointed to the emblem on the half-body armor and said, "This is the armor produced by several equipment stores in Kelan City!"

Jialan was puzzled: "How come, according to the dwarves, the Toraksh Marsh Sea, the territory of the Cold Spring Lizard Hunters, is located in the east of the Underworld Realm, and if my sense of direction and distance is correct, it is very likely to be connected to the 'Torak Marsh' in Dagon County......

Halfway through speaking, Jialan suddenly stopped and looked at Captain Kenmet: "Jin Quanhui!?"

Some time ago, the contradiction between the branch of the Mercenary Guild in Kelan City and the Apothecary Guild was the contradiction with the Golden Power Society, in order to suppress the mercenary power, the other party used the power and channels in his hands to restrict the industries within the scope of Kelan City, and banned the sale of weapons, equipment and various material resources to the mercenaries.

At the time, I just thought it was just a trick of the other party, but now that I think about it, there are no doubts!

No matter how powerful the Golden Power Society is, it is impossible for them to control the various industries in the entire region, prohibiting them from selling weapons and equipment to the mercenaries, and the only way is for them to buy all the materials of the various industries at their own expense, and the interests of those industries will not be affected, so it is possible to cooperate with them to put pressure on the Mercenary Guild.

The mercenaries, who could not buy supplies in the Coran City area, had to ask for them from the surrounding areas, but found that they were also buying supplies on a large scale, so that the two sides competed for each other, causing prices to continue to rise.

If it is said that the Jin Quan Guild is to suppress the Mercenary Guild, so it is too ridiculous, and it is impossible for those who chase wealth in the Jin Quan Guild to do such a thing that outweighs the losses.

There is a backlog of so many materials, but it costs a lot of money, all of them are sold at market prices, do they still plan to sell them at market prices?

For such a long time, I have not found that there is a shortage of funds and a backlog of resources in the Jinquan Society, and I don't even know where the materials intercepted by the Jinquan Society have gone...... Now it has appeared in the hands of the hidden underworld lizard hunters?(To be continued......)
