In the Western Region, dozens of nobles died in one day, including important figures in the Figuerola family, and a noble family with a long history was wiped out.
Even in today's turbulent era, such a tragedy still shocks countless people, but what is even more bizarre is that the person who planned it all died after that, just a few moments apart.
The unexpected death of Herodotus also caused the blood moon, which had finally turned from darkness to light, and was gearing up to expand, to collapse.
This terrorist sect, regarded as a nightmare by the nobles of the Western Region, could not even maintain its basic organizational structure after losing its highest and only leader.
In order to deal with the pursuit of the lords, Herodotus used a large number of single-line contacts. This situation was not only common at the bottom, but even among the high-level leaders of the sect.
This can ensure the safety of members to the greatest extent and prevent others from being implicated because one person is arrested.
This is also the reason why the Blood Moon Society is particularly difficult to eliminate, but it also makes many important members of the sect unknown to each other.
Once the brain of Herodotus is lost, the entire church will no longer be able to function normally.
Even if someone is still ambitious, it is impossible to inherit Herodotus' legacy.
This is also the reason why Li Yu decided to assassinate Herodotus.
It can only be said that the Blood Moon Society's special organizational structure and Herodotus's absolute centralization made it highly efficient and rigorous but also extremely fragile.
Moreover, Li Yu also pointed out the musket technology, and combined with the powerful mobility of the Wing Clan, it can be said that there is no one in the entire Western Region that he cannot kill.
It didn't matter if Herodotus didn't show his head. If he dared to show his head, he would definitely die.
However, Zhu Zhigang did not use a gun in the end, but chose to fight head-on, which was somewhat beyond Li Yu's expectations. Fortunately, he was not injured at all and returned safely that night.
After hearing the news of Herodotus's death, Miss Rabbit still couldn't believe her ears.
After all, the lords of the Western Region had thought of countless ways before, used all means, and led a large army to besiege the city. However, Herodotus was still alive and kicking, but all his enemies fell down one by one.
However, as soon as Shuangxiujiao took action, Herodotus immediately lost face. The contrast between before and after was too great.
Li Yu didn't think it was anything. The crushing technology and the blessing of racial talents made it all look so simple. It would be almost impossible for anyone else to assassinate Herodotus, a master of assassination.
Moreover, the success of the operation is not the end. Li Yu also needs to be prepared for possible revenge from the remnants of the Blood Moon Society.
Given Herodotus's prestige in the Blood Moon Society, there must still be people who want to avenge him after his death.
However, not many people knew Zhu Zhigang's identity, and the only musket that could connect Zhu Zhigang to Shuangxiujiao was useless to him.
Li Yu estimated that it would not be easy for the people of the Blood Moon Society to find out who killed Herodotus.
This was indeed the case. For the next few days, the green field remained calm without any attacks. It was not until the seventh day that Teacup Castle welcomed an unexpected guest.
"You are... High Priest Quintus." Yin Leya looked at the ragged man in front of her with confused eyes.
It is difficult to connect him with the serious high priest of Silver Moon Church before.
Quintus nodded, took the water handed by the maid, and drank it. He drank four bowls in a row before stopping.
Firstly, I was indeed very thirsty, and secondly, it was also because the water tasted particularly delicious, without any peculiar smell, and had a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
Quintus put down the bowl and asked doubtfully, "Did you build a new well in the castle?"
"No, this is the work of Prophet Merlin. He built a reservoir for us and purified the river water inside." Miss Rabbit said.
She also likes to drink water now, and even drinks less wine, but if there is Coke, she will still choose Coke.
Quintus was a little surprised by this answer, but not particularly surprised.
Because he knew that the prophet was such a person who could make all things that others thought unbelievable become a matter of course.
"You are from the Scaled City, right," the female lord paused and continued, "I heard that you and Lord Gwen were... that..."
"We were defeated by Herodotus and were captured by his men." Quintus admitted straightforwardly.
"Ha, I'm glad to see you are safe and sound now..."
"I thought I was dead this time, but Sir Yinlea, you should also know what happened in the Scaled City by now."
"Hmm, Herodotus was killed by an assassin who appeared out of nowhere." Miss Rabbit didn't know Quintus's purpose, so she didn't reveal all the information she had.
Quintus nodded, "When he dies, the Blood Moon Society is over. From now on, no one will care about me, and I will be free."
"How is Scaled City doing now?"
"When I left, there was chaos there. Almost all the members of the Laymondi family were executed by Herodotus. No one can make the decision there now. Many people are fleeing because they are worried about the subsequent revenge of the Figuerola family.
"
Quintus couldn't help but sigh as he thought of what he had seen and heard along the way.
"This is too bad." The female lord also echoed, "You came to me. Do you need my help with anything?"
Quintus said, "Yes, I know my request may be a bit presumptuous, but I hope to meet with the prophet Merlin."
"Why?" The female lord was a little wary. After all, the people from Shuangxiu Cult had just killed Herodotus, and Quintus had been imprisoned by Herodotus for so long. Miss Rabbit didn't know if he had rebelled.
.
However, Quintus' answer surprised the girl, "I have some questions to ask the prophet Merlin."
"But you are the high priest of Silver Moon Church."
"I...have lost my direction." Quintus said, "If possible, I hope to follow the prophet Merlin for a period of time and become his student."
"Are you going to join the double holiday program?" Miss Rabbit was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Quintus said, "but in my current state, I really can no longer serve as the high priest of the Silver Moon Church."
"Even if you say so... you are still the high priest in the hearts of Pisiya's believers, and you are also the only remaining high priest of the church. If you also rebel... well, and come to follow the prophet Merlin, what will other believers think?
?Have you considered the consequences of this?"
