Su Kebu led the apprentices of the witch spirits to communicate in Pansi City. The magical scrolls they brought were very popular in the city. All the forces in the city wanted to order a large amount of this kind of magic that even ordinary people could use with the witch spirits. Sexual transcendence.

Sukob himself was invited by major forces, including the Darkmoon General who had just taken control of the royal court, and the blind prophetess of the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes.

as well as.

Those behind the scenes who want to deal with General Darkmoon, secretly ambitious people.

However, Sukob refused all of these invitations,

But on this day, there was no way Sukob could refuse a grand ceremony held on the bright side.

In the palace of the royal court, well-dressed great people came one after another.

at the banquet.

Everyone talked eloquently, talked about poetry, talked about the glorious past of the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes, and talked about the magnificent achievements in the family history.

And the protagonist surrounded by everyone is General Darkmoon.

General Darkmoon is a charming looking man, he looks very young.

Tall and heroic, with sharp eyes.

He stood in the crowd and told everyone about his ideas, how to lead everyone to create a new situation next.

Even if what he did was seen as outrageous by ordinary people.

But to be able to come this far, there are still many fans of his.

"I am going to follow the example of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance and divide the central territory of the royal court into several provinces. At that time, this country needs everyone's help to govern these provinces for His Majesty the King of Snakes."

"The bureaucracy of the past is no longer able to control such a large country, and we need a new system."

"The royal court needs a large number of officials and requires a certain degree of innovation."

General Darkmoon paused and said seriously and seriously.

"This country needs someone who can stand up and take responsibility."

Everyone looked at General Darkmoon, thinking he was talking about himself.

He raised his hand: "This person is everyone here."

"As long as everyone is willing to stand up, they will definitely be able to save this country and make it stronger again; there will never be a situation where even the barbarians in Lei Ze dare to humiliate us."

Everyone burst into cheers, and some people felt that the words of General Darkmoon were really exciting.

But among the crowd, there were also disdainful gazes.

Breaking the old order and establishing a new system will surely usher in a strong counterattack from the old forces; how could those nobles under the old system, those with vested interests, allow General Darkmoon to implement the provincial system of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance.

At present, the central control area of ​​the royal court is divided into provinces, so what about the future?

Is the entire royal court going to be divided?

The territories of those great nobles are all countries within a country, so the provincial system is implemented, and they are divided like this. Is the territory still ours?

But the previous big cleanup had already killed many people in the city with fear.

Those who dared to resist General Darkmoon were almost killed; many of the rest were killed by General Darkmoon from the army. Naturally, they were strong supporters of what he said. .

In the palace, Sukob looked at General Darkmoon.

"To change a country, it is still a country with a vast territory like the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes."

"Is it really possible?"

It can be found that General Darkmoon should have been to Suinhol and the Land of Sunrise, and is very familiar with the situations and problems of these countries.

He also saw the internal problems of the Ten Thousand Snake Royal Court, and he was also trying to solve this problem.

but.

Sukob is not optimistic about him.

He is not optimistic that he can carry this, already fragmented kingdom.

Maybe the words he said were beautiful and the descriptions of the situation were right, but it was not something he could do alone.

Sukob believed that what he did was to speed up the demise of the kingdom; the already precarious kingdom ushered in a man who would overthrow the power and the king, and carried out drastic reforms, and there was no **** on it to give him the bottom line.

What he welcomes will not be a rebirth from the ashes like the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, but can only burn the entire earth to white ground.

The second half of the banquet.

When General Darkmoon tentatively mentioned that he was going to move the capital of the Ten Thousand Snake King Court to the west, to the Eclipse City.

There was an uproar among the crowd.

"what?"

"Relocate?"

"I don't want to leave here, leave Pence City."

"Lunar Eclipse City? Has the palace there been abandoned long ago? Where does His Majesty the King of Snakes live?"

"And how much will it cost to move in? Isn't this a waste of nothing?"

A long time ago, the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes had two capital cities, a city of Pansi and a city of eclipse.

The city of Pens is to the east, at the foot of the Mountain of Origin of Life.

Eclipse City is closer to the west and the sea.

But as the kingdom became stronger and stronger, relying on the river of the Shepherd to carry it, it was possible to continuously obtain enough supplies, and the Eclipse City was abandoned.

And now General Darkmoon's proposal to move the capital is not just a concept of changing the capital.

Now, many people can't sit still.

Immediately someone stood up and expressed fierce opposition.

can be seen.

This is General Darkmoon preparing for his focus and total power.

Once the capital move is successful, the old forces will be completely broken; the power will be reshuffled, and General Darkmoon will really be able to formulate his own national policy according to what he wants, and turn the situation of the entire country little by little.

More importantly, the Western Capital Eclipse City is closer to the south, which is more convenient for the royal court to control the territory of the south.

If the capital was in Eclipse City, the territories and nobles in the south of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes who were out of control might not be so comfortable.

The benefits seem numerous.

However, there is a very serious problem.

This means that they have to give up the holy place of the Mountain of Origin of Life.

This is absolutely intolerable for many people.

And what embarrassed General Darkmoon the most was the prophet of the Temple of Ten Thousand Serpents.

The prophet stood up and challenged him: "The mountain of the origin of life."

"Is it not going to be like this?"

"The descendants of Pence have thus abandoned the holy land developed by our ancestors."

"The descendants of the ten thousand snakes just left the place where the gods created things?"

General Darkmoon: "Gods are eternal, holy places last forever."

"Whether we do it or not, whether we walk or not, it is sacred and eternal."

"It's always here."

"However, we are only mortals, and naturally we have to consider and prepare for mortals and this country."

General Darkmoon hopes that the Prophet can back down. The woman in front of her may not have particularly strong power, nor is she extremely strong.

But her opinions and will are more terrifying than power and strength.

The blind prophet did not give in at all. She believed that General Darkmoon's move was not only a betrayal of faith, but would lead to the disintegration of the entire Serpent King Court.

"Dark Moon!"

"Have you thought about it?"

"If the mountain of the origin of life is no longer the capital, if there is no this holy place, if there is no prestige of Pansi City."

"Is the king of snakes still the king of snakes?"

"You can still be like this..."

"Does it work for you?"

The blind prophet's voice became louder: "Leaving this holy mountain, the entire Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes will completely lose the main heart of connecting everything."

"There is no place where the descendants of Ten Thousand Snakes can be linked together like this."

"There is no force that can deter everyone like this."

"leave here."

"The King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes is no longer the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes."

General Darkmoon paused, and he said.

"I believe that it's not just this mountain that supports the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes, there are other things as well."

The blind prophet looked up, her eyes darkened.

All you can see is the fire of the rhythm of life surging in the darkness.

In her eyes, the fire of life of General Darkmoon is blazing and bright, not only his strong physique, but also his will and determination.

What surged in him was his desperate desire to change the world and this country.

Or rather.

ambition.

The Prophet did not know why, but was terrified of the burning desire and ambition of the other party.

This flaming fire may illuminate the darkness, or it may burn everything to rubble. ——

during the banquet.

A waiter came to Sukob's side and invited him to a room on one side.

Su Kebu saw this powerful Darkmoon General, except that he did not directly put the crown on his head, this is the uncrowned king of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

General Darkmoon saw Sukob and respected him very much.

"God's favored man Sukob."

"I have traveled many places, and I have been to Suinhoor's Fire Protection City, but unfortunately I have not been able to meet the King of Crimson Goddess."

"I have also been to the City of Lights in the Land of Sunrise. Unfortunately, the Colossus of Ivar has collapsed. It is even more regrettable that I also did not see the Apostle Oran."

The front was full of regrets, and the latter ushered in a turning point.

It is precisely because of these regrettable foreshadowings that it seems that this ordinary meeting has become different.

He also used these common words to underscore the admiration of General Darkmoon for the person in front of him and the importance he attached to this meeting.

"But this time."

"I finally realized my dream, because a living god's favor is standing in front of me."

General Darkmoon is very funny, and he doesn't look like a battle-hardened general at this time.

Although his words were very respectful, Sukob felt that.

What he respects is not the identity of Sukob's favored one.

It was the power that Sukob possessed, or the power possessed by the gods behind him.

After some compliments about getting closer, the general said straight to the point.

"You must think that I am a careerist, someone who is desperate to gain power, someone who bullies orphans and widows and takes this country."

"yes?"

The general looked at Sukob, just when one thought he was going to defend himself.

He said.

"Yes, that's who I am."

"I am a careerist, I am desperate to seize power, and I am taking this country from an orphan and a widowed mother."

"But what I'm trying to say is that this country doesn't need a good guy, it doesn't need a moral saint."

"The King of Ten Thousand Snakes has come to a time of precariousness. He needs one person or a group of people to support it strongly. The previous king has proved that he can't, and even a child can't."

"So I stood up."

"As long as it can be saved, as long as it can be good for the country."

"No matter what means, no matter what method is used, I will do it."

Sukob reaffirmed his previous judgment. This is indeed a general full of charm, and his words can touch people's hearts.

Even when he said those unethical remarks, it made people feel as if he was right.

Although there must be a high-sounding part in the words, when a person really says and does it, it feels completely different.

But Sukob was not interested in all this: "General!"

"I'm just an outsider, a witch spirit who is out of the world. We never get involved in this kind of thing."

"So what do I think, what do I think."

"not important."

General Darkmoon saw that Su Kebu didn't answer, and felt that the old man in front of him was difficult to deal with.

He had the waiter serve wine and refreshments, and then filled Sukob himself.

After the atmosphere eased a lot, he directly started talking about this country.

"The King of Ten Thousand Snakes established the country very late, at least much later than Suinhoor. The era of tribal disputes lasted for hundreds of years. It was the King of Ten Thousand Snakes who unified the entire animal husbandry plain and established this great nation."

"Think about it, it's been more than 500 years since now."

"There were not so many people a few hundred years ago, there was no paper a few hundred years ago, there were no such varieties of crops a few hundred years ago, and there were no such many powerful people."

"People from a few hundred years ago couldn't imagine what is happening now."

"They can't imagine the snake artisans and workshops being able to make things they couldn't imagine before, the genius that Suinhol has been emerging from generation to generation, making all kinds of tools, writing all kinds of things. A masterpiece, such a brilliant civilization erupted."

"I can't imagine that generations of alchemists keep moving forward, and I can't imagine that the looms and spinning machines of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance are constantly turning, creating cloth like flowing water. I have never seen hundreds of alchemy workshops create piles of piles. The port is full of cargo."

"But what about in the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes?"

"The system from hundreds of years ago, and even the things left over from the tribal period, we are still using today."

"The former king would never have imagined how degenerate his descendants would be."

Speaking of which, General Darkmoon seemed a little excited.

"The Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes?"

"It's no longer a royal court, it's just a rotten corpse."

"It's rotting, smelly, buggy."

"Idiot, stupid, conservative."

"We don't do anything, we don't change anything, the whole world keeps moving forward, only we stand and wander."

"Countless low-level civilians are wailing. No matter how they farm, no matter how she grazes, and no matter how much they fish, they will not be able to eat enough or survive."

"Famines and rebellions break out every year, driving old people into the wilderness to fend for themselves, and drowning newborn babies in rivers; wars are launched again and again not to win anything, but to send those restless young people away. Go to battle and kill."

"What kind of world is this?"

General Darkmoon came to Sukob and looked at the old man.

"It's time to change."

"If it doesn't change, the country will be finished."

"I've been fighting wars, sending young people into wars, quelling rebellion after rebellion."

"But the more it goes on, the less hope I see."

"A few years ago, I took a trip to Suinhol, followed by a boat trip to the Land of the Sunrise."

"Although Suinhol is also in decline, its heritage is incomparable to us; however, the changes in the White Tower Alchemy Alliance have made me see opportunities."

"I saw the same situation in Suinhol, which gave me insight; but only in the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, I saw something different."

"So I'm back and I know what to do."

General Darkmoon looked at Sukob expectantly: "Mr. Sukob!"

"You must feel that way, too, don't you?"

"This country has problems and it needs to change."

"I heard that you were born in a small village on the wasteland. I don't think anyone can understand these problems and pain points better than you, right?"

It is clear.

General Darkmoon said so much, just hoping to bring Sukobra to his side.

But Sukob looked at General Darkmoon and just responded.

"You are right, General Darkmoon, I come from a small village in the wasteland."

Gu usurp

"only."

"I'm an Evil!"

General Darkmoon was stunned for a moment: "Avier, some familiar names."

Sukob did not shy away: "A country that was once conquered by the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes, the Aivir people who were slaughtered, enslaved, and exiled hundreds of years ago until they are never seen again."

General Darkmoon just remembered that the Aivir people were the ethnic group that had disappeared for hundreds of years.

A long-forgotten group.

General Darkmoon was suddenly embarrassed. Everything he said seemed to be winking at the blind man.

In other words, he did not expect that the other party turned out to be an ethnic group that had a long-standing hatred with the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes. After all, there were no Aivir people on the giant island of Ruhe, and most of the Aivir people had almost integrated into other ethnic groups. Can't remember their past.

General Darkmoon offered a new price: "That's all hundreds of years ago. We can't judge or revise what happened in the past, but at least we can look to the future."

"You are the favored one of the gods, don't you want to spread the faith of the gods in this country?"

"This country is so big, why can't it accommodate more temples?"

Sukob did not agree as readily as General Darkmoon imagined, and shook his head and looked at the other party: "What a blasphemous language!"

"Aren't you afraid to anger the gods in the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes?"

General Darkmoon spread his hands: "God doesn't care about this."

"Isn't it?"

"Gods don't care, why should we care?"

"The gods don't care, why should we speculate whether they will be angry or not; why can't a country believe in multiple gods? This is blasphemy?"

"This so-called blasphemy is just the imagination of mortals."

Sukob: "The arrogance and stupidity of mortals!"

"The gods don't care because they don't need it, because they are above the mortal world; what mortals do may or may not make sense to them, but in any case, it cannot affect the stalwart of the gods."

"But in this world, in the human world where everything comes from the gifts of gods."

"Do mortals have the right to not care?"

"Do mortals have the ability to bear the possible wrath of the gods?"

General Darkmoon fell into deep thought.

He has met many devout believers and many despicable people who do dirty things in the name of gods, but he has never heard anyone analyze the relationship between gods and mortals from this perspective.

Sukob didn't say anything, turned his head and left.

General Darkmoon came to his senses and said to Sukobu, "You are not only a favored person, but also a wise man."

Sukob opened the door and said only one sentence: "My God is the God who grasps truth and knowledge."——

The magic scrolls that Sukob brought were all sold out, and he purchased a large amount of needed materials.

There are rare books, experimental tools, and alchemy props.

There are also many supernatural materials used by witch spirits for research.

The most precious part of it is the extraordinary items that Su Kebu intends to use to break through the apostolic rank, and the materials for drawing rituals.

This is also the reason why Su Kebu wants to visit Pansi City. These extraordinary materials are estimated to be available only in Pansi City in the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Although the city of Pence remained stable, Su Kebu faintly felt that the undercurrent under the plane was becoming more and more intense.

Anytime, anywhere, there can be an outbreak.

Sukob was about to leave.

Two days before leaving, Sukob came to the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The building of the temple is very large, and the whole is a city within a city.

Looking up, you can see the burning flames on the holy fire platform.

It is said.

It was a fire demon that had survived for hundreds of years.

The guards in front of the temple stopped him.

"I want to go to the temple library and have a look. I have already received permission."

As a witch spirit, a follower of the God of truth and knowledge.

When you come to Pansi City, you can't miss the library of the temple, the oldest library in the legendary Ten Thousand Serpent Court.

Under the guidance of a **** attendant, Sukob entered the temple.

There are many buildings in the temple, and the corridors are vertical and horizontal.

Su Kebu came to a relatively remote place in the depths, and entered the library that was rumored outside.

There are indeed many books here, but they are not as exaggerated as the legends say.

However, Su Kebu was still very excited. The witch spirit's desire for books and knowledge was recorded in the depths of the soul.

"Word!"

"history!"

"inherited!"

"Everything about the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Snakes is recorded here."

Sukob feels that writing is one of the most important things in the world, and civilization is born because of writing.

Because of the existence of words, people are called people, and they are different from beasts.

Even after thousands of years, many things have disappeared, and the text still records the past.

Su Kebu, the old man, plunged into the sea of ​​books at once, with a smile on his face.

Su Kebu read a lot of books and didn't leave when it got dark.

He was prepared to see the day he left.

In addition to the books, he also saw some broken clay tablets in the corners with inscriptions on them.

"Ancient clay tablet? Isn't this something from hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

Sukob carefully picked up a piece of the clay tablet, for fear of breaking it, although it was already shattered beyond recognition.

After watching for a long time, Sukob sighed.

"Unfortunately, the words can't be read clearly."

A voice came from behind: "It's too long to kill most of the things in this world."

"These books, these tablets, and many things here, including the people here."

"After thousands of years, it will cease to exist."

Sukob looked at the person who came, the prophet of the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Her voice was a little pessimistic, even desolate.

The Prophet was very young, and she bowed to the elder Sukob: "I take the liberty to disturb you."

Sukob returned the salute: "No, it is also Sukob's honor to be able to meet the prophet of the temple!"

"Thank you very much for allowing me to come here to view the collection of the temple."

Although the opponent's strength is not strong, but the meaning of the representation is not the same.

In a sense, she is also a favored person, with a **** behind her.

It is only estimated that the prophet himself does not know who the **** behind her is, and through whose power the pictures she saw were seen.

Then, Sukob replied to what the Prophet had just said.

"Though these books, tablets, objects, even you and I will fade away with time."

"But the text will not disappear, it will always record everything we have and tell people in the future."

The blind prophetess was covered with ties, and her delicate face could be seen through the light.

Although she lost her eyes, she didn't know why, but people still felt that she could see herself.

Even look directly into your own heart.

"I came to see you at this time because of a doubt and an invitation."

Sukob probably understood what that invitation was, and he asked directly.

"What is the doubt?"

Blind Prophet: "How can we save this country?"

"How can we delay the disaster?"

Sukob didn't want to get involved in such trouble, he could only pretend to be confused.

"How to save?"

"Isn't it good now?"

Blind prophetess: "The night the king died, when I was praying to the gods, I saw the gods cast their gazes on the world."

"I saw the apostles walking on the earth, and I saw disaster befall this country."

At that time, the Prophet also saw the scene where Sukob was called by the God of Truth and Knowledge.

The blind prophetess looked at Sukob: "Something must be happening, isn't it?"

"The apostles go to the world one after another. This must be a secret related to the gods."

Sukob did not speak, and this question was even more unanswerable than the previous one.

The blind prophetess stood under the dim light of the lamp, and the faint light shone, shining on her fair and smooth skin, with a ceramic-like luminous texture.

If a young man is faced with such requests and inquiries from a blind woman, he may be overwhelmed.

but.

Sukob is a seasoned old man.

What he prefers is to be silent and to wait and see.

The blind prophetess didn't get the answer she wanted, so she went on to talk about her request.

"Dark Moon!"

"He thought what he was doing could change something, he thought he could save everything in his own power."

"But what he's doing is only pushing the country into the abyss."

"I want to ask you to help us and help us save this country."

"He doesn't know anything, and I can't see the future clearly."

"We've all seen the storm coming from a distance, seen the big ship about to capsize, but don't know why the storm came."

Su Kebu did not expect that the blind woman in front of him would make a request that could be said to be a bit abrupt.

"How to help?"

"kill him?"

"Will everything be saved by killing him? Wouldn't the country have fallen into the abyss without him?"

"O prophet of the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes, it is not the storm that is about to capsize this ship, and it has nothing to do with the gods."

"It's this big ship."

"It's already riddled with holes."

The blind prophetess was silent, and after a long time she continued.

"I do not know!"

"I really don't know what to do!"

"But I have a hunch, a hunch that disaster is coming."

"I can't do anything, I have no power."

"So I want you to help us."

Blind Snake Woman: "I'm not trying to kill anyone, and I don't know if Darkmoon is right or wrong."

"But I know that when disaster strikes, we are powerless to resist."

"Whether it's Dark Moon or me."

"I just don't want to, just sit and watch... just sit and watch..."

"The foreseen picture is here."

Sukob understood what Snake was about to say.

The Land of Sunrise is blessed by the God of Alchemy, so everything is controlled within a controllable range, completing the most critical transition.

Suinhol also has the Crimson Goddess, although this is also an old wrecked ship, let alone what plans the Crimson Goddess will have next; but when it is about to capsize, there will be gods who will come out for it reveal all the details.

Only the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The gods did not respond, nor did they have the power of an apostle.

This is the only blank space. Once there is a problem, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods may come out to take a bite, pushing the disaster to an uncontrollable level.

In particular, today is just at a window of change in the times.

here.

The herdsmen's plain under the control of gods, the most central place on the giant island of Ruhe.

Just like the center of the eye of the storm, ordinary people may not feel anything, and it is impossible to know such information; but the blind woman in front of her may feel or see something.

The blind prophet didn't express it very clearly. This is a woman who has always lived in the depths of the temple, a believer who has sacrificed his eyes to become a prophet and lived in darkness since he was a child.

She is not as articulate as General Darkmoon, as good at inspiring people,

Sukob could feel that she didn't use any tricks and tactics against herself.

At the same time, he also felt the helplessness and hesitation of the Prophet from his words.

Sukob was very sympathetic to the Prophet, perhaps because a young girl had lost her eyes since childhood and had been trapped in the depths, perhaps because of her remarks.

However, he was still not ready to intervene in this matter: "I have been a believer of God for the rest of my life."

"I never think too much, just follow God's will."

Sukob used very euphemistic words, but rejected the Prophet very firmly.

"I will do whatever God tells me to do."

"If God didn't say it, I wouldn't do it."

The blind prophetess raised her head: "What if the high gods never passed down oracles?"

Sukob was silent, he remembered the legends and stories of the Evir people a long time ago.

Thinking of Huberne, the hero who saved the Evil people, this believer who firmly believed in the master of life, but finally became the favored person of the God of truth and knowledge.

Even so, the Master of Life has never cast half a glance at him.

The blind prophetess lowered her head, her face a little downcast.

"We have no protection from God."

"When the storm came, we hesitated."

"After the storm, what's left of us?"

Sukob hesitated for a while, but he finally revealed some news based on the blind girl's affection for letting him enter this ancient library.

Although he is not going to intervene in this matter, as the prepared apostle of the God of truth and knowledge, the information and knowledge he knows are still beyond what ordinary people think.

And sometimes, this knowledge and information can change a country or even an ethnic group.

"The ruler of life is one of the most powerful gods."

"The creator of life."

The Prophet looked at Sukob suspiciously: "But, God does not protect us."

"I want to seek guidance from the gods~lightnovelpub.net~ but I don't know where the guidance is."

Sukob: "That may be, you haven't found a real asylum."

"The Sovereign God has already given you shelter, but you don't know how to use this power, and you have been begging."

"In other words, the patrons are always in front of you, but you can't see them."

Sukob: "This land where we are, the entire Ruh Island."

"It's a kingdom dominated by life, the back garden of this great god."

The prophet was stunned for a moment, she still didn't understand what Sukob meant.

Sukob opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice.

"you know……"

"Witch?"
