Riding and Slashing

Chapter 347 The Prophet

Yes, these two women were originally here to rob graves...

Tomb robbery is a common activity no matter which country it is in. After all, this job is quite lucrative. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have buried objects that are priceless, and if they are dug up, they may become rich overnight.

The tombs of most important people are difficult to preserve intact, and the higher the quality of the cemetery and the stronger the construction, the harder it is to preserve...

Because anyone can imagine that there is a high probability that there will be valuable funerary objects inside a well-built tomb—otherwise, why build it so strong?
Therefore, most cemeteries will have grave guards.

But the tomb guard is actually a high-risk job, especially the tomb guard of the king's tomb...

Of course, King Ulrik's cemetery is also guarded, and the specifications are quite high. After all, this is the cemetery of two generations of Sarleon Kings - Ulrik's father, the Mad King, is also buried here.

There are two squadrons and more than 200 soldiers guarding the cemetery on a daily basis—if nothing happens, ordinary tomb robbers, let alone digging graves, would have an extravagant hope of getting close to the cemetery.

But unfortunately, there was a big accident in Barranley Town a few days ago...

The previous continuous wars caused an influx of tens of thousands of refugees into Baranley Town. These refugees rioted a few days ago, smashing, looting and burning everywhere, causing huge chaos.

Of course, the mob also wanted to attack the king's tomb. Thousands of people flocked to the tomb and fought a bloody battle outside the tomb. The troops guarding the tomb were wiped out.

Afterwards, the mob dug up the head of the mad king's tomb first—the mad king's tomb was built larger and looked more valuable.

Perhaps it was because the burial objects in the tomb of the mad king were relatively rich. In order to compete for property, after the mob dug up the tomb, internal strife broke out. Thousands of people fought a large-scale group fight...

Before the group fight was over, several regular troops from different countries arrived.

Although the number of the regular army was only one-tenth of that of the mob, these mobs had no armor or horses, so they dared not confront them head-on, so they scattered and fled in all directions.

Since the cemetery has been destroyed in a mess, several regular troops probably thought that the king's cemetery was completely finished, and they chased the mob away separately, and as a result, the cemetery was completely left alone...

In addition, today is the Winter Advent Festival, which is also the goddess' blessing day. All people in the Sarleion Realm will pray to the goddess on this day, and they usually don't go out.

So this night, there was no one in the cemetery.

The two women took the opportunity to try and see if they could get something valuable.

While the Mad King's tomb is indeed empty, Ulrik's remains.

However, these two women are obviously not professionals in this kind of civil engineering, and they dug for a long time without digging. Instead, they saw Li Ang floating in the lake...

"Your Majesty, the king's tomb seems quite simple... Do you think his grave goods are enough for you to form an army?"

The female soldier asked while digging.

"Stop talking, hurry up and dig... Your Majesty Ulrik, I'm sorry, I was forced to do so, please forgive me..."

The queen was digging the soil while chanting, she was quite polite...

She had probably never used a shovel or anything like that, making it look like she was wielding a war knife.

"Boom!"

After a long time, the sound of the shovel hitting the woodwork was heard—the coffin was finally dug.

"Quick, quick, look... shovel the soil again..."

"Wait a minute! Something is wrong, why is the coffin lid not nailed?"

"Oh... you don't care if he nailed it or not, look what's inside..."

"Ah! How come!"

"Empty? How could it be empty...Are we late?!"

"That's not right... His tomb has never been dug up... Besides, no one will steal the body... Could it be..."

The two women were busy talking while talking in a low voice.

And behind them, the unkempt man lying on the ground moved slowly.

"Isn't this place clean? Hiss..."

The female warrior stood up straight, looked around, and then at the bright full moon in the sky.

On the night of the full moon, the lake reflected the pale moonlight, the cemetery was messy, and the coffin was gloomy.

A gust of wind blew by, shaking the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees and making a rustling sound.

"Don't...don't talk nonsense..."

The 'Queen' shuddered, her voice began to tremble: "Bury... bury that man, at least I got a handful of gold coins, it's not in vain..."

"Hey...maybe...maybe the goddess...don't let us use this dishonorable way to obtain military expenses..."

The female soldier also started to tremble, and rubbed her shoulders involuntarily, probably because of goosebumps.

"That... Your Majesty Ulrik, we really have no malicious intentions... We will find someone to accompany you... May your soul be no longer lonely, um, no longer lonely..."

The woman called the queen whispered in a trembling voice.

Obviously, when she was digging the grave, she saw the inscription on the back of the tombstone.

The two women began to look around while frantically lifting the man and putting him into the coffin.

Then, they lifted the lid of the coffin that was placed beside them.

But when he was about to put the lid on the coffin, the man inside the coffin suddenly sat up!
"Mom..." "Ahh..."

The two women dropped the cover and ran, running extremely fast, the screams echoing in the night.

"Cough cough cough..."

The man in the coffin coughed violently, and said as if he was talking to himself: "Ahem... who the hell threw the gate of the abyss to the bottom of the lake! I'm so screwed!"

Of course, this man is Li Ang who just came back from the void.

Since he arrived in Pendor Continent, his luck has always been bad, but this time his luck was particularly bad - at that time, he lost consciousness immediately after touching the stereoscopic projection of that planet.

But this is not a normal phenomenon, he will lose consciousness, mainly because he appeared at the bottom of the water at that moment.

And it's deep underwater...

Without a buffer, the water pressure suddenly increased by an unknown number of times, making him unconscious in an instant - this is the automatic protection of the human body. When fatal danger comes, the body will automatically close the consciousness and be in the lowest consumption state .

This automatic reaction of the human body is faster than the nerves can transmit information to the brain. At that time, Li Ang even fell into a coma without seeing anything clearly.

The automatic protection mechanism of coma can prevent fatal injuries in many cases.

But the problem is, Li Ang was unconscious in the water... It's fate that he didn't drown on the spot, and if no one cares about it, there will definitely be big problems.

After this, he had a long dream.

He dreamed that he was at the bottom of a very deep lake, with fish swimming in it, and at the deepest point in the center of the lake, there were two dark pages—the gates of the abyss, the last book of the law.

It seemed so, and where the code was, he would return there.

Li Ang had a strong feeling that the dream was his current state.

This feeling is like my own soul watching me from the side.

Then he dreamed that he was slowly rising to the surface and drifting with the current.

I don't know how long it has been floating.

Until now.

"Wait... I think I heard him coughing?"

The 'Queen' who was running wildly stopped and turned around to look.

"Never mind... run away, it must be a devil or a ghost..."

The female warrior was still in shock, swallowing her saliva and still planning to stay away from this terrible place.

"No...he seems to be a living person? Ghosts don't cough..."

The 'Queen' came to her senses, turned around and walked towards Li Ang.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty the Queen... Hey..."

The female warrior looked around in a panic, stomped her feet, and followed. It seemed that her loyalty to the queen finally defeated her fear of the unknown.

…………

"Who are you... what time is it?"

Asking for the name and the time is a normal reaction for most people after waking up from a coma.

"My name is Baodaisi... It's the night of Winterfell—you can see the moon, don't you know? The moon is only full once a month..."

Baodaisi felt that this sloppy man was probably still a little unconscious.

"No, I mean, what year is it?"

Li Ang shook his head, and stretched out his hand to take a look. His fingernails were half the length of a finger, curling inward into a sharp arc.

"Pendorian year 357..."

Baodaisi also shook her head, and looked at the man in front of her sympathetically: "Oh, it seems that you have been drowning for too long, and you must be sick... This is your money, since you are not dead, take the money Go back and get medical treatment."

She probably thought that Li Ang's brain was not working well.

"It's been so long... Bao Daisy, I must thank you for saving me, otherwise I will become disabled even if I don't die... Although you were only doing it for money."

Li Ang didn't take the gold coins, and after washing his face in the lake water, he began to thank the 'queen' sincerely.

"You shouldn't be addressing Her Majesty by her first name! You should be addressing 'Your Majesty'! You are offending a Queen!"

The female soldier shouted dissatisfiedly beside her.

"Oh? Queen? But you don't really look alike... you look a bit like technicians engaged in another profession—if I'm not mistaken, it seems that I buried it for King Ulrik with my own hands. coffin..."

Li Ang looked at the two women, and then at Ulrik's grave.

The scene was a little awkward.

"You buried it yourself? Who are you?"

The female warrior looked at Li Ang with some vigilance, holding the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"My name is Li Ang... the Duke of Changhe Town."

Li Ang looked at the female soldier: "Do you have scissors or a small knife? I have to take care of myself..."

"Duke Leon? I've heard of you!"

Baodaisi cried out in surprise, and then sighed: "Hey... I can't help it. If there is another way, I won't desecrate the king's tomb."

Boudice was indeed a queen.

She is from Ficavia - she briefly ruled the kingdom of Ficavia.

Ficavia is an island country with a total population of only 6 to [-] people, located in the southwest of the Pendor Continent.

It was a feminist country.

Ficavia's class status from low to high is like this-men, eunuch slaves, eunuch warriors, female commoners, female warriors, female nobles...

Yes, men who have not been castrated have a lower status than slaves in Fikavia, and they are completely props for women to have fun-basically belonging to bedding.

The women there are actually married to women——this feminist society has developed to the present, and most women regard their girlfriends as their lovers.

As for reproduction, they basically conceived randomly while having fun with the bedding...

And those bedding, after their physical functions regressed, they would 'upgrade' to become eunuch slaves, and then engage in daily chores, such as farming or doing coolies.

Ten years ago, Bodaisi returned to Ficavia to take over the throne after traveling around the world.

She feels that the whole country can no longer maintain this state. Since the founding of the country, the goddess Fikavia has never come again, and this kind of society without family values ​​has caused various tyrannical tragedies to continue to occur in the country. .

At the same time, once men are about to be castrated, most of them will resist, and even if they do not resist, they will be disloyal to the country.

Riots and conflicts often occur, and high-pressure supervision must be maintained at all times.

However, there are only a small number of female fighters, and it is really stretched to resist foreign enemies and supervise the country at the same time.

Moreover, most men were castrated, which prevented many civilian women from having reproductive opportunities, and the population of the entire country has been unable to grow.

In order to maintain the domestic situation, the women of Fikavia have no intention of creating new things at all, so there has been almost no development in Ficavia for more than a hundred years.

If it weren't for the fact that the Pendor Continent and the Amala Continent were relatively chaotic, and the countries didn't have the heart to deal with them, I'm afraid they would have been wiped out long ago...

And ten years ago, Bodaisi saw muskets in Buckley Continent, and also heard about the war in Mettenheim—Mettenheim has the same population as Ficavia, but it is a country rich in macho men. Daisy knew that the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Mettenheim people was much stronger than that of Ficavia.

Now that Mettenheim has been beaten like that, Bao Daisi feels that if this continues, Ficavia will probably be conquered by the Buckley Empire.

It's impossible to rely on the goddess Fikavia to make a comeback every time, right?
Therefore, Bodaisi, who was deeply in crisis, planned to reform. She tried to make Ficavia a little bit more towards equality between men and women—she planned to give some outstanding men aristocratic status, so as to absorb some men from other countries into Ficavia. Ya, let some excellent men gradually become the pillars of Ficavia.

But such a reform will undoubtedly stimulate the nerves of most female nobles who are accustomed to feminism.

Therefore, Bao Daisi's power was seized by her sister.

Her sister Eleanor led most of the female nobles to launch an 'revolt' and regarded Baodai Si as a 'sinner who betrayed her faith'.

The unfinished reform was aborted, and Bao Daisi herself could only flee to Pendor Continent with her best friend.

She wanted to regain her throne, so she came to Pendor for help.

Bodaisi originally came ashore from Guangxiao Bay in Fieldsway, but the status of women in that place is not high, and no one treats her.

Moreover, the local Dawn Knights also regard her as a heretic—as long as she is not a follower of the goddess of justice, the Dawn Knights will consider her a heresy, not to mention that Fikavia is also a famous castration kingdom...

So Bao Daisi headed east all the way, planning to try her luck in Sarleon City.

She heard that Amy Sonnard, the current king of the Sarleon Kingdom, is a queen, and she felt that she might get help from the queen.

But after she came to the Sarleion Realm, she knew that the Sarleion Kingdom was facing a difficult situation at this time, and was deeply mired in the quagmire of war.

Moreover, Queen Amy has already organized Sarleon City to start the city migration at this time.

The capital was moved, which was obviously to avoid the flames of war.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible to expect the support of the Sarleon Kingdom.Everyone moved their capital to avoid the war, so naturally it was impossible to send troops to help others in the war, so Baodaisi had to find a way to recruit soldiers by herself.

So she came up with the idea of ​​those cemeteries in Ballanley.

"Okay... Sure enough, since ancient times, most people who tried to restore the country would dig graves and rob graves... Bao Daisy, I can help you form an army for the restoration of the country, which is my reward for saving me."

Li Ang thought for a while, and gave Baodais a promise.

"Really?...but...how did you end up in this situation?"

Baodaisi's eyes lit up, but seeing Li Ang's current appearance, she was a little hesitant.

"The duke can drown too..."

Li Ang sighed: "But you have to send me back to the territory first, I have injuries on my body now, and I am in a trance."

He's actually kind of in a trance right now because it's like he can see himself now - like with god vision, he can 'see' himself talking to Bodice, and he can 'see' what's going on around him environment.

The kind with no dead ends.

"Where are you going?"

Baodaisi stopped asking, she was more concerned about how to get the money.

"Changhe Town... wait, let's get out of here quickly, an army is coming!"

Li Ang frowned, looked behind Bao Daisi, and then beckoned the two women to leave quickly.

Bao Daisi turned her head, she didn't see anything, but she didn't object, because she really should leave here immediately, this is a cemetery after all...

The two women supported Li Ang to leave the cemetery. Just outside the town of Baranley, they saw an army of hundreds of people heading straight for the cemetery in the distance.

In terms of time, when Li Ang reminded, that army was at least a few miles away from the cemetery!
"How do you know an army is coming? Are you a prophet?"

Baodaisi looked at Li Ang in the wrong way, she was a little suspicious now, was it a human or a ghost that she saved?
"Rely on feeling... My feeling is very good... Otherwise, why do you think I became a duke at a young age? There is still an army ahead, two or three miles away from us, go to the side of the road to avoid them... ..."

Li Ang didn't want Bao Daisy to know about his abnormal situation.

Moreover, he felt that his abnormality was a good thing. This kind of God's perspective could avoid many dangers and seize the opportunity in war.

Li Ang felt that this ability might have something to do with the Chuangshi God or the Void—Althea said that he would lose all memory of the Chuangshi God's temple after leaving it, but Li Ang still remembered clearly and did not forget anything.

Moreover, he thought that only a few days had passed in the void, but now it was more than a year later, that is to say, he had passed a full year in that void!
Li Ang does have a strange feeling now, he feels that there is nothing in the so-called chaotic void.

Maybe it was full of magic, or the power of faith, or the power of the soul—whatever it was called.

That should be a special kind of energy, so he didn't feel hungry at all in it, and he hasn't even felt hungry or weak until now.

Although he had no strength due to the injury after being struck by lightning, his spirit was exceptionally strong.

This kind of god-like ability to see is not really able to see everything, but to be able to perceive the surrounding movements, just like one's own spirit can cover several miles around.

In fact, this kind of feeling is very uncomfortable-I feel very irritable in my mind, because he can detect all the troubles, but at the same time he has No.1 vision, and his mind is a bit chaotic.

Perhaps this is the ability of the prophet.

Li Ang closed his eyes and felt better.

Then, he suddenly realized—Madigan, the prophet Madigan, cut off his ears and blindfolded him after becoming a prophet...

Is this to hide his identity as a Noldor, or because... Madigan also has the same ability as himself?
