"My lord, the priests of the desert temple are provoking the civilians in the city to attack you!"
Cetisius seemed to have run all the way here from afar. He was out of breath and sweating profusely. Without caring about etiquette, he pushed open the door and barged in.
Lu Zhiyu put down his quill and saw Cetisius kneeling at the door. After kowtowing, Cetisius looked up at Lu Zhiyu and said in a hurry.
"Your Excellency, Anke asked me to come back and remind you that he has already arranged an escape route. Please follow me. Now, in Pusuote, everyone believes the words of the high priest Hatton, but you can rest assured that Anke and I absolutely trust you, Your Excellency," Anke said.
Lu Zhiyu looked away and said, "Don't worry!"
"My lord!" Cetisius said anxiously.
Lu Zhiyu did not pay attention to him, and Eva did not care about what was happening outside either. Cetisius could only kneel outside the door.
The people in the castle were all in a panic. After hearing the news, they all fled out of the castle in a panic. The maids broke the pots in the house one by one, and the slaves left the yard and hid in the cellar in the backyard. Suddenly, only Lu Zhiyu, Eva, and Cetisius were left in the main building of the castle.
However, the quiet and empty atmosphere did not last long. On the streets outside, a large number of angry Pusuotes rushed in. All of them surrounded the castle, as if they were afraid that the evil god inside would escape.
Thousands of agitated people filled several wide streets outside. Their heads moved, densely packed together, giving off a majestic feeling.
"Kill him!"
"Charge!"
Under the command and encouragement of several priests of the desert temple, the crowd rushed into the castle. A large number of people broke through the door of the castle, kicked down the wooden door, and rushed in like a swarm of bees.
Shouts and roars reverberated throughout the entire fortress. The people who were hiding in the dark were trembling. Everyone rushed to the center of the fortress. Cetisius was nervously guarding the door of Lu Zhiyu's room, holding a short spear that was originally hanging on the wall. His whole body was trembling with fear and excitement.
Hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs. All sorts of noises were transmitted into Cetisius's ears. He immediately saw a few burly men holding short swords and axes, rushing up the stairs towards him.
When Cetisius thought of Lu Zhiyu and how Lu Zhiyu had given him the opportunity to hear and be valued again, he felt a surge of blood in his heart.
"Ah!"
"You are not allowed to hurt my lord!"
The slave boy faced the mob that kept surging forward. How could these agitated mobs care about a little guy like him? They immediately treated him as a villain who had surrendered to the Evil God. They raised their axes and chopped at him.
The young slave dodged, and the short spear pierced through a man's shoulder, but it was immediately cut off by a short sword. The big man behind him kicked him to the ground, and waved his sword towards his neck.
"It's over. I'm dead!"
At this moment, this was the only thought left in Cetisius's mind. His body fell back, and it was too late to dodge. He could only watch the short sword that was shining with cold light coming toward his neck.
"Time is still!"
Thump!
At this time, an unknown wave immediately spread out from the room, covering the whole castle. In an instant, where the wave passed, everyone stopped moving. Even the ferocious expressions on their faces were frozen at this moment.
Eva, who was wearing a black robe, walked out of the door and immediately saw a large number of people outside the door frozen. From top to bottom, from the castle to the outside, no one could move.
At this time, from the outside, the people who were incited by the desert temple to rush into the castle also reacted. They saw that all the people who had rushed inside had been turned into stone, frozen in place.
"Open the door, don't go in!"
"There is a problem, there is a problem inside!"
"Devil, the power of the devil!"
"This is the power of the evil god!"
Immediately, the crowd, who had been constantly crowding toward the interior of the redoubt, was frightened by this strange scene and kept retreating backward. A few mobs who were close to the door of the redoubt directly collapsed to the ground and were scared witless as they crawled out from the ground.
At this time, they saw a woman who was so delicate that she did not look like a human coming out of the castle. At this moment, the originally aggressive mobs were timid, looking at the strange scene inside the castle, one by one, they were afraid to move forward.
At this time, several priests of the desert temple who were inciting and pushing people's hearts were scared and wanted to escape, but they immediately found that they could not move and were floating in the sky.
Eva stretched out her hand and clenched it. She saw that one of them immediately shrank toward the middle, compressed and solidified into a meatball. The creaking sound and the tragic scream shocked everyone, making their teeth tremble and their legs a little weak.
Eva then looked at the second person and squeezed him to death like a bean. After that, the third person completely collapsed. He was so scared that he wet his pants and shouted crazily.
"Don't kill me, I admit it all, it was Lord Hatton who asked me to do it. He asked us to kill people in the city, take out their hearts, and then put all the blame on you."
"Don't kill me, it was Lord Hatton who did it, it has nothing to do with me."
What the priest said immediately made everyone present at a loss. All the people who were incited finally found that they were like fools.
"How is it possible, how could Lord Hatton do this?"
"You were the ones who killed him!"
"Liar, you are all liars!"
Everyone felt that their faith had been attacked, and the continuous changes made them feel completely unacceptable. Many people felt that they had collapsed and knelt on the ground.
The third priest opened his mouth, and the other two immediately revealed everything they had done. Eva didn't have the slightest intention to stop, and she crushed all three of them to death with a deadpan expression.
At this moment, the civilians in the city could only feel happy. Everyone had lost their trust in the desert temple, and they had also lost their trust in the so-called High Priest Hatton.
"Why? Why did they lie to us?"
"Why did High Priest Hatton do this? Why did he kill my brother?"
"My son!"
At this time, Anke, who had rushed back from outside, squeezed in and said loudly, "Because the messenger of God is inside. Hatton is just a liar in the name of God. The real messenger of God has come, and he is the messenger of God who has come to save us from the sea of suffering."
Anke pointed inside the castle and said, "Look, this is the power of God. Can Hatton have it? Can Hatton build a huge castle in the desert overnight? That is the Death Desert, the territory of God. Can Hatton make little Cetisius listen to God again? Can he make me and the caravan walk out of the overwhelming sandstorm? "
"Only the messengers of the gods can do that!" Anke shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice extremely infectious.
"Hatton is the real blasphemer. He lied to us in the name of God. His sin is unforgivable!"
"Yes, the messenger of God is inside. We are going to welcome the real messenger of God."
"We want Hatton punished!"
"We want to hear the real message of God!"
Everyone looked into the Reventment Castle again, as if they had found the meaning of life again. They cursed and scolded High Priest Hatton angrily. Anke, on the other hand, stood at the gate of the Reventment Castle and gave a speech like their leader.
Everyone looked at Eva and Lu Zhiyu, who had not shown up yet. One by one, they knelt on the ground and worshiped Eva devoutly, as if they had completely believed Anke's words and that Eva and Lu Zhiyu were the true messengers of God.
Lu Zhiyu looked at the farce outside and couldn't help but laugh. However, he had achieved his goal. When Anke had invited him to stay here, Lu Zhiyu had planned to cover the eastern part of the Alen Continent with the supernatural power and the divine system.
This area was a desert of supernatural power, and neither divine nor witchcraft had spread to this area. Wizards and priests seemed to look down on the barren land and uncivilized people here. They regarded the prosperity and civilization of the central province as the core of their development.
With the emergence of supernatural power, there were more and more magical beasts. However, the people here had no way to resist the magical beasts. Many religions even worshipped the magical beasts as gods.
Moreover, the population of the entire East was no less than that of the Church of Light in the West. Once the divine system spread here, a large number of masters of divine spells would emerge, which would further accelerate the development of Lu Zhiyu's Divine Kingdom. This was part of the reason why Lu Zhiyu had come to the East and the Batko area.
Lu Zhiyu didn't need to spend much effort to change the situation in Pusuote. He had even won the support of most of the people in Pusuote.
Lu Zhiyu and Eva, one wearing a white robe and the other wearing a black robe, rushed into the desert temple, surrounded by thousands of Pusuote civilians.
Hatton, who was in a panic, didn't understand why the civilians he had instigated to kill Lu Zhiyu were now surrounded by Lu Zhiyu.
Hatton, who didn't have time to escape, was caught on the spot by the angry people of Pusuote and given the cruelest punishment in Pusuote. He was then cast into a kneeling bronze statue and placed in front of the temple.
Lu Zhiyu, who had been accused of being an evil god's minion, was then respectfully welcomed into the temple by the nobles of the city, the leaders of the Pusuote tribe, and the remaining priests of the desert temple.
Lu Zhiyu had become the leader of the faith of hundreds of thousands of people in Pusuote. He was also the spokesperson of God on earth. Anke, who was originally Anke, was chosen by Lu Zhiyu to be the high priest of the temple.
In the 62nd year of the San Calendar, the desert temple was renamed the Temple of Sky, and Landier, who was in charge of the sky, was called the God of Gods. According to the culture of the Batko area, a polytheistic religion with Landier as the leader was gradually formed, which was very different from the Church of Light in the west of the Sea of Death and the Church of Light in the north of the Alen Continent.
