Chapter 159: The Tolan Empire

It took half a year for the sea of blood in the southwest region of the Simon Empire to completely fade, but the entire coastline of the Eden Continent was stained red with blood, and the originally clear blue sky would always take on a striking blood red color when the sun set, so that the people of the Simon Empire could never forget the arrival of that catastrophe.

In half a year, the continent of Eden became more restless, especially the greatly traumatized Simon Empire, the spread of the plague and a quarter of the territory was stained with blood, which made the Simon Empire fall into the most chaotic era in history, and all kinds of unwarranted papacies rose under the noses of the Temple of Offen and Diangengism, making the faith of the Simon Empire more chaotic and the people more uncontrollable.

Because of the appearance of the Blood Sacrifice Day and the plague, it is common to see some real heretics in order to seek greater benefits for their new Church, and they have begun to deceive people's hearts, and they have exaggerated the Day of the End of the World to be more terrifying, and have slandered the incompetence and selfishness of the Temple, so that many people who are panicked and unrelieved by the Temple have begun to stop trusting the Temple, joining various cults, and raising strange movements, such as committing suicide in the square, scribbling on the wall with women's blood, and killing the people who stubbornly believe in the god Offen.

Even, in order to frame some people who have conflicts of interest with themselves, they began to use the prophecy of the Holocaust to slander some people as believing in the gods of Sapra and being slaves of the prophecy, and then blatantly executed them, which also triggered the palace coup d'état of the Simon Empire, in just half a year, the emperor was replaced twice, and the bloody cases caused by it were countless, which was far from being controlled by the Holy See.

The other three empires, the Charobine Empire, due to political disunity, but also because of the previous war with Zachariah, made the country even more chaotic, even if it was not sacked by the Blood Sacrifice Day, but the country had various civil strife, and the power of the Temple of Gardan, which the Charlotbin Empire believed in, was repeatedly weakened.

At the same time that the temple of Gardan was weakened, the temple of the goddess Aluti, which had always enjoyed a good reputation in the eyes of the world, became the faith of most of the people who suffered, so the conflict between the temple of Katan and the temple of Aluti became very obvious.

In addition, the temple of the goddess of silk jersey under the banner of indulgence and emancipation of women, because of the inferior roots of human origin, countless men and women began to degenerate, and began to relieve their panic in the way of indulgence, especially the aristocracy, this group of people has become a typical group of people who enjoy carnal desires, and they continue to cling to be able to give them ** More and more people in the peak of the Silk Jersey women were corrupted by this depraved and indulgent ideology, which caused the Philip Temple of the Tolan Empire to clash with this Holy See and began to fight a cold war in faith.

As for Zachariah, because of the initial war initiated by Michael the Great, the plague began to spread to Zachariah, and some perpetrators who were bent on seizing power began to exaggerate the evil deeds of Michael the Great, and began to criticize Michael the Great for violating the peaceful morality of the temple and the gods, launching a cruel war against other empires, and bringing the disaster back to Zacharia, leaving the Zacharian people in a state of water and fire.

Rumors always spread in the fastest way and in the widest direction, and when the ninth month of the Blood Festival passed, all the soothsayers finally found the clues of the third prophecy from various phenomena, but these news were once again blown away by the wind of rumors before they could be fully confirmed, leading to an even more tragic scene......

The Tolan Empire can be said to be the most peaceful piece of land in the entire Eden continent, and the biggest conflict is also the cold war between the Temple of Philip and the Temple of the Goddess Aluti, but the cold war between the two Holy Sees is not something that the world can perceive, although the people here are afraid, but there is no trouble.

Of course, the most important reason why the Tolan Empire is so stable is that no one in this country has been infected with the plague, and when the Tolan Empire learned of the spread of the plague, it quickly controlled all the borders, and set up various checkpoints to conduct very strict inspections on those who want to enter the territory of the Tolan Empire, and confirm that they are not allowed to enter the territory of the Tolan Empire.

For ordinary people, unless they are under the protection of a huge mercenary group, it is impossible to cross the mountain range that divides the territory of the Warcraft Mountain Range, so although there is a large influx of panicked people in the Tolan Empire, most of them are cultivators with a physique that is different from ordinary people, and after inspection, and then pay a large amount of money, they will be able to reach the Tolan Empire, which is quite stable.

But this was only within half a year, and when the Blood Sacrifice Day took place a year later, rumors of the third prophecy arose in the Tolan Empire, and the same began to enter the Age of Chaos, because everyone and the soothsayers believed that the third prophecy would definitely happen in the comfortable Tolan Empire.

......

"In the same way, I remember eight years ago, the first time I stepped into the human city was this city of Dashe, and I was deeply attracted by its beauty and holiness. Outside the city of Dashe, in the north of the Tolan Empire, a young man who resembles a bard let out such an exclamation.

However, his emotion did not stop, but he paused slightly and continued: "It's just that after eight years, this place seems to have changed, originally like a pure girl, but now it is an old woman with a wrinkled face. ”

"In the course of a year, it seems that the entire continent of Eden has changed. Another black-clothed young man said lightly.

Naturally, these two men were Gaia and Fetzer, who had been meditating on the isolated mountain for a year, and the two beautiful women behind them were none other than Celine and Edith. In a year's time, for young people like them, there is nothing else except that their temperament will change, but for the entire Eden continent, which should be in order, it is earth-shaking, and when he stepped into the territory of the Tolan Empire, Fei Ze himself couldn't believe that this was the Tolan City that he had praised with countless gorgeous words.

"Gaia, do you know what the one thing I want to do most right now?" said Fetzer.

Gaia shook her head in agreement, waiting for the guy's words.

"Stand on the highest tower of the Temple of Phily, and tell the bunnies: I, Golmant Fetzer, have returned! The former sinful youth will become the future god who will redeem you!"

Edith snorted coldly, she would have followed their team to the Tolan Empire, I am afraid that it was to escort this Fezzer sinner, but although she was slowly transforming into the maturity of the ice dragon, she was still not Fezzer's opponent, and even Fetzer could defeat her without using the power of the Phoenix Blade.

"Edith, a year and a half...... For the sake of you not staying by my side, I can consider not bothering him, that old fellow. Fetzer said.

Speaking of Mikle Atis, his face changed, and he glared at Fei Ze angrily and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether he is dead or alive!"

"They quarreled again, and it felt like when they were in the mountains, only their voices. Céline walked over to Gaia and muttered something quietly.

"Well, they're all lonely. Gaia nodded, and did not continue to listen to the quarrel between Fetzer and Edith, both of whom had lived in the Tolan Empire, especially when it came to the matter of the Graceful Law, and sometimes even fought hard, but every time Fetzer took advantage.

Gaia and Celine walked in front, they were on the main street of the city, and the main street led to the square, where bright red flames were blazing, and it seemed that some religious people were burning at the stake, and it was unknown which heretic had been caught.

"Gaia, it's like there's a woman tied up on it. Looking at the bright light of fire ahead, Celine tugged at Gaia's sleeve and said.

"I saw it too, let's go take a look...... Gaia had actually seen what was happening inside the stake in the square in the distance, but he still didn't want to believe it.

However, when he walked into the square, he found that it was indeed the case, that the stake was not for some heretic, but for a pregnant woman!

It was indeed a young woman who was tied to the fire, her hair was messy, her delicate face was imprinted red by the firelight, her thin body was fixed to the cross, and her bulging belly was even more conspicuous!

"Ah, what are they doing!" Cried out in surprise, and it was most unacceptable that these people were not judging a strange-looking and nonsense-ridden heretic, but a delicate pregnant woman.

Gaia hurriedly grabbed a spectator and asked, "Why did they execute this pregnant woman, even if she committed a crime, at least she should have given birth to the child before executing the ......"

The short man of thirty years old glanced at Gaia, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, and said, "It is the child in her womb who will be executed, but as a woman who is pregnant with such a baby, she must also die, and this is the punishment." ”

"Yes...... But what is the sin of an unborn child?" asked Selene eagerly.

"Of course they are......" the man said and ignored them.

"Gaia, shall we save her?" Céline couldn't bear to see a soon-to-be-born woman burned alive by the fire, it was too cruel.

Gaia nodded, jumped directly to the stake amid the exclamations of the surrounding enforcers, walked towards the woman with an expressionless face, looked at it for a moment, and then asked, "What crime have you committed?"

The delicate woman's eyes were full of sorrow, as if she had suffered the greatest humiliation and torture, she slowly raised her eyes to look at the dignified man in front of her, opened her interfering lips and said, "I...... No sin...... My kids are ...... too There is no sin either. ”

"What kind of person, even interfere with law enforcement without permission!" The ten law enforcers below shouted at Gaia, and suddenly two swordsmen with big swords jumped onto the fire rack, trying to arrest Gaia, but as soon as they jumped on the shelf, they were catapulted out by an invisible force, and then they couldn't be afraid anymore. Those law enforcers knew that the young man was powerful, and they didn't dare to do anything more for a while, so they could only secretly ask someone to send more people.

"Then why are they tying you up here?" asked Gaia.

"I advise you...... You'd better leave...... This is my bad luck...... He would rather me and our children be burned to death than admit that I have no point in living. The woman said in despair, then lowered her head indifferently and stopped answering any of Gaia's questions.

"You're such a selfish woman, don't you want your child to be buried with you?" said Gaia coldly. He didn't expect this mother to be so indifferent, so indifferent that she was willing to be cremated with her unborn child.

He ...... It's a disaster, I'm ...... I don't want to bear the pain of the flames" The woman said this weakly, and then opened her mouth directly, biting her tongue fiercely, and blood suddenly overflowed from the woman's mouth, and the already haggard woman's face turned pale in an instant, her head drooped, and she didn't have any anger.

Gaia is a cultivator, he has already noticed it at the moment when the woman bit her tongue and committed suicide, but he did not stop it, if this woman was harmed and bullied, since she met him, she would have helped, but this woman chose to commit suicide, this is no longer a question of saving or not saving.

Gaia jumped off the stake, shook her head at Cerene, and left the square in full view, when a gorgeously dressed man in the crowd looked relieved when she glanced at a pregnant woman who had bitten her tongue and killed herself.

"What the hell is going on?" Selene was even more puzzled, she had seen the scene of the woman's suicide just now, and she understood the reason why Gaia did not stop her, but she did not understand why an innocent woman was burned at the stake, even if she was an unclean woman, this kind of matter should not be completely handled by the Holy See, let alone executed in the same way as a judge of heretics.

"A nobleman had a relationship with a folk girl, and the folk girl was pregnant, but the nobleman didn't want to admit it, and then the folk girl committed suicide in despair, it should be as simple as that. Gaia said.

"But why was it burned at the stake? Cérene asked.

"Remember the third prophecy?" Gaia's voice became a little muffled, and from the conversations of the onlookers, Gaia already knew that this kind of thing happened in almost every city in the Tolan Empire.

The four parchment scrolls represent the four prophecies, and Cherine uses various methods to explore the secrets of the parchment scrolls in her reverie, and even decipher the third prophecy.

"Hmm......" Céline nodded, but the expression on her face changed, and if the burning of the pregnant woman at the stake was linked to the third prophecy, then it all made sense.
