"Without the control of the Lord, sooner or later there will be rebellions everywhere!"
In the tavern, the middle-aged man named Pan Da said to the people around him. There were many illiterates these days, and too few people had the ability to think independently. Therefore, most people were in a state of "believe whatever you say". Pan Da's words were baseless, but they still received applause from the people around him.
This kind of "reactionary speech" was said many times, and people thought that Sally I would be overthrown tomorrow. However, when the door was pushed open, the rule of Sally I was not shaken, but became more and more stable.
"Look … Without the Moon God to save us, everything will fall into chaos."
Pan Da raised his glass and drank the rest of the ale, whispering something. Someone next to him asked curiously, "Moon God? What god is that? Is it another name for Goddess Si Qi? "
"Goddess Si Qi? That's just a false god. Only the Moon God is the only god. She illuminates the earth and is the only ancient god in the world! "
The Moon God that Pan Da mentioned made everyone interested, but he seemed to be unwilling to have so many people ask about it. He shook his head, "When you see the Moon God, you will know her greatness … Anything you say now is useless."
"See? The Moon God can see? "
The people around were surprised. Pan Da said with certainty, "Tonight is a full moon. As long as you stare at the moon, you will know the answer!"
After saying that, he paid for the wine and left the tavern, leaving a crowd of skeptical people.
After leaving the tavern, Pan Da strolled drunkenly on the street, but after turning a corner, his face quickly returned to calmness. The original blush and drunkenness seemed to have never appeared. Passing through the alley, he took off his dirty and sloppy coat, tied up his messy hair, and walked out of the street again. He was like a different person from the previous Pan Da. No one would recognize him as the drunkard who promoted the "Moon God".
Arriving at the predetermined location, he mounted his horse and left the town of Pukali. After making sure that no one was following him, he traveled for nearly two hours and entered a nearby forest. Following the inconspicuous markings in the forest, he finally arrived in front of a low Magic Tower.
This Magic Tower was fixed and could not be moved like the Hercino Magic Tower. However, its defensive measures were one of the strongest, because when Pan Da approached the Magic Tower, he could see more than a hundred corpses on the ground beside it. There were all kinds of magical beasts and passing beasts. There were also mercenaries and caravan members wearing leather armor. However, their bodies had already turned into white bones, as if they had been dead for many years.
Pan Da turned a blind eye to this. After several detours, he finally entered the hidden entrance of the Magic Tower. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a servant in a robe greeting him, "Arcanist Pan Da."
"Where's the Saint Master?"
"At the top of the tower."
He nodded and walked into the tower.
At this time, the people in Pan Da's sight were all wearing robes that were very different from those of human Mages. If Edith was here, she would definitely recognize that the style of their robes were all inherited from the High Elves. And these people were all members of the Holy Assembly.
Compared with the past, the structure of the Holy Assembly had undergone a drastic change. A year ago, the Holy Assembly had a total of six elders, each leading the Arcanists and Arcane Warriors under their command. These people, who called themselves the "descendants of the High Elves", lived in secret in the Kingdom of Karen. However, due to a series of changes, Elder Dominic, who tried to take down the city of Elson, died, and Crawford, Kyle, and Aubrey, who wanted to take over the Hercino Magic Tower, all disappeared.
When the Hercino Magic Tower reappeared in the capital and witnessed the unification of the Kingdom of Karen, the only remaining elders, Elder Blake and Elder Musta, knew that most of the main forces of the Holy Assembly had been completely destroyed in this operation.
As the only two remaining elders, their only choice was to gather the resources and personnel left behind by the other elders to ensure that the strength of the descendants of the High Elves did not suffer any more losses.
During this time, Eiferta and the Karen royal family officially declared war, and the kingdom fell into a civil war. Thus, the Holy Assembly had enough time to breathe. The two elders also quickly carried out the "rescue" plan.
However, just two months ago, when the war ended, the Holy Assembly also completed a preliminary reorganization. The change happened at this time: when Elder Blake met with Elder Musta, he suddenly announced that the other was a traitor of the Holy Assembly, and took out a piece of evidence of the Elder's correspondence with Elson, and imprisoned Musta for this reason.
The latter died in prison a week later, and the entire Holy Assembly was changed from the "joint rule of the elders" to the "one-man rule" of Elder Blake.
Pan Da walked all the way to the top of the Magic Tower. Along the way, he saw many members who originally belonged to the other elders, but now they no longer had the label of "a certain elder", but united as disciples of "Lord Blake."
"May the Moon God bless all things."
Coming to the last door, Pan Da pretended to make a gesture of worship, and the guard in front of the door opened the door for him. After entering, the conspicuous white high-back chair in the middle was very conspicuous.
Arcanists had never believed in God, and as an intermediate Arcanist, Pan Da himself would not become a believer. However, "Lord Saint", the original Elder Blake, thought that the only way to preserve the Holy Assembly was to imitate those religions in history, and use "miracles" and "doctrines" to win over enough people, and select qualified elites from the huge number of believers to provide fresh blood for the backbone of the Holy Assembly.
"Bloodline Theory" was the symbol of the Holy Assembly in the past. However, after experiencing more than 70% of the losses, if the "Bloodline Theory" continued to be maintained, it would certainly be a long time before the Holy Assembly could recover its former glory.
Therefore, there was a funny scene: arcanists who did not believe in God called the name "God of Moon", but in fact, they used this set of theory to fool ignorant human beings.
"Pan Da, you're back."
The so-called "Lord" Blake was a middle-aged arcanist with gray hair. As the last remaining elder of the Holy Assembly, he seemed to be in good spirits, but his eye sockets were deep, and he was a little bald. The white robe he wore was different from the usual Arcanist robes. There were several moons on it, obviously the attire of the "pope."
Pan Da bowed, and the latter helped him up. "The news spread during this time should be enough. Did you find anything new?"
"Lord — uh, Lord Saint, to be honest … most people are as stupid as pigs and dogs. They can easily join the Holy Assembly, but how can such people be qualified to continue this noble legacy?"
Pan Da actually looked down on these ordinary humans. In the eyes of Arcanists, the general public was really stupid. It had only been a few months since Blake founded the "Moon God Clan" outside, and it already had more than 3,000 believers. However, 99% of them were illiterate, so how could they learn Arcana spells?
"When there is enough, quantity will lead to quality change. We need patience," Blake said mysteriously.
Blake said mysteriously. Then he changed the topic. "I heard that High Elf ruins have been found somewhere?"
"It's in the Silent Forest, Lord Saint. But I suspect it's a trap …"
Pan Da immediately gave his judgment. "The Silent Forest is so close to Hollier, and the Wood Elves have long opened up trade with humans. I don't believe that there isn't Efta's influence behind it. The other elders have sent people to search Wagra City before, but no one has ever returned alive. There's something fishy about this sudden news. "
"You're right. I don't think there's much truth in this news either, unless there's concrete evidence that someone came out alive. Otherwise, I won't believe it. "
Blake didn't put on much airs when he spoke to Pan Da because Pan Da was his most capable and most trusted subordinate. However, he didn't give up on this idea immediately. Instead, he continued, "But if there's a one in ten thousand chance, we should still go investigate."
"Lord Saint?"
