 After the man finished speaking, he squatted down and carried the bruised Yin Erkander, "Please be patient, I will find someone to treat you as soon as I leave here."

"You...you are from Herodotus, why...why did you save me." Yin Erkand murmured.

"Because the great Pisiya will not abandon her followers." The man said.

"This is nonsense. She just abandoned us in that valley..." Yin Erkand shook his head and said, "We were all abandoned."

"Every hardship is just to guide us on the path we must take."

"Don't waste your efforts. There is no way you can't even get out of this dungeon with me."

"Really? Let us wait and see, Lord Yin Erkand."

After the man finished speaking, he carried Yin Erkander and walked outside. As a result, they met two jailers within a few steps.

Yin Erkand wanted to open his mouth and laugh at the Blood Moon Society believer who appeared out of nowhere.

But then he saw that the two jailers seemed to have suddenly become blind, turning a blind eye to them passing by.

He was still there continuing to chat about a plump prostitute he met half a year ago.

"How did you do it?" Yin Erkander asked in surprise, "Are we invisible?"

"People are always used to turning a blind eye to the answers that are right in front of them." The man replied.

Yin Erkander snorted coldly, "I don't understand. Don't you guys know how to talk well?"

"They are our people." The man then explained, "They are looking forward to the coming of the blood moon just like us."

"Ha... I thought that most of your people had been killed, so why did you save me? I have arrested and executed many priests of the Blood Moon Society."

The man was silent for a moment after hearing this, "Violence cannot eliminate faith, it will only further promote the growth of faith. We have many companions, more than you think. As for you... Lord Yin Erkand."

"You have indeed done some bad things, but High Priest Herodotus also believes that everyone should have a chance to change their ways. Moreover, fate has guided you to us."

"Have you always been so confident?"

The man suddenly stopped when he heard Yin Erkander's words, and the two of them were about to walk out of the dungeon.

"Well, you don't have to be so realistic. You just heard that I don't plan to join you. Are you going to throw me here again?" Yin Erkander said.

"No, I stopped just because there are still patrolling guards outside. We need to wait for a while until our team of guards comes to hand over."

The man explained, and after a pause he continued, "You will join us."

"I have to think about this..."

Yin Erkander planned to stabilize this Blood Moon Society believer first, because he really didn't want to stay in this dungeon any longer.

However, he listened to the man saying, "You are already at the end of your rope. What are you still thinking about? Who else but us will be kind enough to take you in?"

Yin Erkande's heart tightened, "What do you all know?"

Logically speaking, the news about his murder of Marquis Cullen should not have spread out of the valley yet.

The man smiled and said, "We know that all the goddesses want us to know things. Come on, I will take you to a place where there are some unpopular people like you and the high priest Herodotus."

"It doesn't sound like a very desirable place. It sounds like a hideout for a bunch of dirty rats."

"Rat? Maybe, but we will not be rats forever. Lord Yirkand, haven't you discovered yet that the peace of the past is over and disaster is about to come.

"Not only the Western Region, but the entire continent will be plunged into turmoil. That is the goddess's anger, but it is also her kindness.

"The old rules will be broken by then, and we will have the opportunity to reshape new rules. Are you going to welcome this opportunity with me, or are you going to continue to be a mouse that never sees the light of day?"

Yin Erkander couldn't help but feel a little moved.

No matter how good his reasons are, killing Marquis Cullen is still killing Marquis Cullen. This is an unchangeable fact.

In the future, he is destined to be scorned and hated by others with the reputation of being a regicide, and he is the only one left among the three insiders at the beginning.

In order not to be suspected, even his cronies thought that he had really taken refuge with the dwarves.

Yin Erkander is now unable to argue. From the moment he agreed to Cullen's request, his life has been completely ruined.

He will never be able to turn around...unless, as that person said, he can become the maker of new rules, and he may also be able to find a way to get rid of this curse.

But even at this time, Yin Erkander still did not forget his responsibilities.

"I can go with you to see Herodotus, or I can join you, but before that, I need to tell the reinforcements coming to support the dwarves' conspiracy."

"There is no need for this." The man shook his head and said, "The support army entered the Dragon Ridge Mountains eight days ago. It is too late for you to find them now."

"What?" Yin Erkander was stunned when he heard this.

He did not expect that he had paid so much, including the life of Marquis Cullen, but still could not prevent this tragedy from happening.

After a while, he asked again, "Who is the commander of the support army and how many people do they have?"

"According to the information we received, the commander of the support army is the champion of the empire's martial arts competition, the dragon-slaying hero of the Western Region, and the head of the Arias family, Yin Leiya. In order to go into the mountains to save people as soon as possible, she set off this time with only

There were five thousand people.”

Yin Erkand's face looked a little ugly, "Are there only five thousand people?"

"Don't worry about them. Chaos is also an opportunity for us." The man said, "Besides, the dragon-slaying female knight may not lose this battle."

"How can they win?" Yin Erkander was not optimistic about the future of the supporting army. "The dwarves opposite have an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people, and there are also savages in the mountains to help. What does Sir Yin Leiya have?"

"She has the prophet Merlin who is both retired."

Yin Erkander was surprised again, "I thought you and Shuangxiujiao were enemies."

"We are indeed enemies, but this does not prevent me from offering my heartfelt praise to them. High Priest Herodotus often said that only by facing the gap squarely can we make progress. Our enemies are also our best teachers."

The man sighed, "High Priest Herodotus once suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Prophet Merlin, and the biggest lesson he learned was that he must not treat the Prophet Merlin and his two-year-old religion with common sense.

"There is probably a terrifying power hidden in that prophet that can distort the world."
