Chapter 11: Don’t you have any thoughts of being an enemy?
When Ringer found the practitioner from the Fertile Tu Sect, he was in a corner of the exhibition hall, silently staring at the exhibits displayed in the glass display cabinet in front of him. They were several old letters, which were obviously left behind a long time ago, even if the museum's
The staff maintained it very well, and even the wax stains and paint on the envelope were not worn at all, but there was still a smell of decay and dilapidation, which must have been colder than the winter outside the museum.
There was only Rochelle in front of this showcase, which seemed sparse and boring compared to the other showcases. Linge subconsciously slowed down, but the Fertile Earth Sect's travelers were still keenly aware of the tremors of sand and gravel coming from the earth, so there was no need to
He turned around and spoke calmly, with a tone as heavy as a rock: "As I said, we meet here, stranger believers."
When Ringer heard what he called himself, he realized in hindsight that he seemed to have not told his name yet, which was very impolite in interactions between people, so he said: "My name is
Ringer, Mr. Rochelle."
He also stopped in front of this display cabinet. He was on the same straight line as Rochelle, but separated by at least one person. He and he were also staring at the letters behind the cold glass, and found that there were traces of paint on each letter.
A special emblem: two intertwined rings with countless water splashes in the middle, shaped like a flying spring or a waterfall.
"This is the emblem of the Holy Fountain Monks." Rochelle said solemnly: "In 1602 AD, the Nimschel city government decided to bury thirteen rivers in the city, fifty-two of them, regardless of the opposition of the citizens.
Fountain springs and one hundred and four ancient wells, including even the oldest Sullivan ancient spring. She has witnessed the decline of the Kreisov royal family and the rise of the constitutional government, and has witnessed the place from Dorothea to Nîmes.
Scheer’s long history of changes now seems to be ending in being buried under earth and rocks. How sad and how foolish.”
"Excited citizens gathered in front of the Holy Fountain Sanctuary, Tiffisi Church, and asked the Holy Fountain Monks to stop this irrational and destructive act. Therefore, the then fifty-second teacher
His Majesty His Majesty the Prime Minister Besia wrote many letters, communicated with the city government, and finally persuaded them to withdraw the decree, thus retaining the reputation of the 'City of Fountains' for this city."
As Ringer listened to his story, his gaze on the letters was slightly moved. It was hard to imagine how many people's expectations and deep love for this city had been entrusted in these old and thin papers.
However, after the promulgation of the "Religious Decree", under the pressure of the alliance of religious orders, the city of Nimschel had to forcibly expel the believers of the Holy Fountain Monks. Even the former Holy Fountain Sanctuary was converted into today's Luberon Museum, as if
It shows his determination to completely separate from that animist branch of the sect. Why is it still displayed openly today for tourists from all over the world to visit?
As if knowing the doubts in the young man's heart, Rochelle's voice became deeper: "Because, the theme of this expo is 'Human History and Future', and for this city, the traces left by the Holy Fountain Monks are
, has also become history."
Since it is history in the past, it can never affect the present world, so what’s the harm in exhibiting it? The exhibition’s review committee probably had this mentality in mind when it approved the exhibition application from the Nimschel City Hall.
.
But the Holy Spring Monks clearly did not disappear.
They just left.
Just like... the Fertile Earth Sect where Rochelle is located.
Although, except for Rochelle, Linge has never seen any followers of the Fertile Land Sect, and has never heard anyone mention the deeds of this sect. Perhaps, when the young people talked about the past history with the travelers here, those
People are carrying shrines on their shoulders and pulling statues of gods with horse-drawn carriages, wandering around the continent to avoid being hunted by the Scales of Order. They are the so-called "wandering churches".
"Are you from Linwell, Mr. Linge?" Rochelle suddenly asked.
Ringer did not deny it, but asked him: "How did you see this? Is it also your intuition?"
"No." Rochelle shook her head: "It's just some inspiration I got after traveling across the Western Continent. Each land has a different temperament, and it deeply affects the people living in that land. Ringer
Sir, you are calm, rational, and very realistic. This cold temperament is the most typical characteristic of the land of Linwell, such as the meanness and arrogance of the people of Lunweiting, and the indulgence and corruption of the people of Fontainebleau.
The rigidity and seriousness of the Saiyans are so obvious."
Lunweting is the capital of the Kingdom of Great Brita, Fontainebleau is the capital of the White City-State Republic, and Zisaiah is the capital of the Mindelias Empire. As he said, this traveler is really worthy of his reputation.
I have traveled a lot and have seen a lot.
"I am indeed from Linwell." Linge replied.
Rochelle asked him: "So, have you heard of Hanyue's 'Blood Moon Mutation' incident?"
Blood moon change? Ringer was stunned for a moment at first, and then he realized that he was referring to the change that should have occurred during the negotiation day between the Linwell Parish Council and the Religious Mutual Aid Association. The young man nodded lightly:
"I experienced it myself."
It even changed my future destiny.
"That was a ceremony held by the pseudo-evil god Celestial Eater, whom the cult organization [Blood Red Feast] believed in, in an attempt to promote himself from a Sequence 3 Immortal of the Monster Path to a Sequence 2 Dragon Blood Descendant." Rochelle's words made Ringer
For the first time, I came into contact with the truth of the mutation: "The Celestial Eaters colluded with the original ancestor of the blood race, the Night Mother, to establish the [Blood Red Feast], which absorbed a group of evil vampires and magicians of the monster path, and disguised themselves in the name of the Crimson Prayer Society.
, worked hard to create a situation, but unfortunately failed in the end. This is not a failure. In fact, all his plans have been closely watched by the people in the sect from the beginning, and there is no possibility of success."
When Lin Ge heard this, he frowned: "Have you been closely watched by the people of the Union of Religions from the beginning? However, the mutation has not been stopped. Could it be that you want to say that the Union of Religions deliberately indulged it?"
"Yes." Rochelle said solemnly: "This is their way of doing things. In order to achieve a certain goal, it doesn't matter how many innocent lives are sacrificed."
"So, what goals did their cultists who indulged in blood-red feasting plan for mutation in Linwell City finally achieve?"
"The Heavenly Eater is dead."
Rochelle's calm tone made Ringer fall into silence for a while: "They were not secretive in their plot, and the location of their lair was exposed. The construct mecha of the Judgment Holy See [Earth Witch-Crimson Night Mente] blocked their escape route and executed the trial. Pseudo
The Evil God Celestial Eater tried to compete head-on with the Sin-Judging Cannon, but in the end he died without a whole body. If the Night Mother had not fled to the Eastern Continent, she would have met the same ending. As soon as the Celestial Eater died, the blood-red feast fell apart, although there were still some parts.
The believers resisted tenaciously, but it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed."
In other words, a cult organization with the support of evil gods was destroyed so easily? Even the gods they believed in could not escape, just because they accidentally exposed their positions?
As a person who has personally experienced the changes in the blood moon, a young man who has experienced the feeling of filth and evil up close can hardly believe everything he hears. However, Rochelle has no reason to deceive herself, so this can only mean that
, the strength of the United Order is indeed very powerful, more powerful than the information that young people can understand.
"Constructed mecha, Earth Witch - Feiye Mente?" The young man repeated the unfamiliar term in a low voice, and then asked: "What is this? It sounds like some kind of... machine?"
"Yes, the so-called constructed mechas are exactly a kind of giant war weapons based on magic and steam technology mastered by the Union of Orders. Their existence is the greatest force support of the Union of Orders and is the greatest support for human beings.
An unimaginable and supreme power."
After Rochelle paused for a moment, she said to him extremely seriously in an almost warning tone: "At any time, anyone - whether a magician or a mortal, whether a alien or a human being, even the true god of Sequence 1 -
—Don’t even think that you can compete with the mechas united by the Order. Countless people have paid the price for this in the past, and the Celestial Eater is the closest example."
Ringer was silent for a moment, and then replied: "I will never do anything irrational."
Seeking death is obviously not rational enough.
"Besides," the young man added, "I have never thought of joining forces with the cult."
This is the truth.
On the one hand, it is because the goal of finding the girl's throne does not conflict with the position of uniting the sect. At most, it is because the identities of magicians and aliens need to be carefully avoided; on the other hand, it is because the comparison of strength between the two sides is simply impossible.
To describe it as "confrontation", in fact, it should be "crushing".
The wheels of this magnificent chariot are rolling by, pushing an era forward. Anyone who tries to resist is like an ant standing in front of the wheels, destined to become ashes buried under mud and rocks. Ringer cannot
Hope that he is one of them. Therefore, even though Alice set the United Order as the imaginary enemy countless times, he never showed any hostility.
"Rational judgment."
Rochelle said: "But sometimes, you have to choose to be your enemy."
Have to be enemies?
The young man was confused, and the practitioner of the Wotu Sect gently uttered a sentence from his mouth. It was something that had long been forgotten by the young man. Every time he recalled it, he ignored the past intentionally or unintentionally. Until now, Yuluo
Scheer's words revealed again: "Two days later, January 1, 1856."
"The supplementary regulations of the "Religious Decree" will be officially implemented."
