Chapter 427 The Revelation of the Goddess

White Hart Castle.

Pandor Bank headquarters was quiet.

Now the branches in places such as Long River City and Lion City are the main places to do business, and the main work of the White Hart Castle headquarters is to reconcile accounts and mint coins.

Of course, when it comes to cash reserves, there are more at the headquarters of White Hart Castle—all the gold, silver, mithril and other minting materials are stored in the underground warehouse of White Hart Castle.

Li Ang and Charles are also in the underground warehouse.

This underground warehouse was originally the prison of White Hart Castle. It was once used to store potato seeds, and it was completely underground—or in the middle of the mountain where the main building of White Hart Castle was located.

a few hours ago.

When seeing Li Ang, Charles looked very calm.

"Your Majesty, I know that I may have made a mistake, but now I only dare to tell you the reason..."

Li Ang didn't ask anything, and Charles took the initiative to tell Li Ang what happened.

Charles had been preparing the frontier defense at Fletcher, and at the same time he was also stockpiling supplies according to Li Ang's instructions-the supplies sold to the Jatu people had been stockpiling a few months ago, since Li Ang asked Ramon to buy sheep , the plan has already begun to be implemented, and it is not a temporary idea.

Fletcher also has a statue of Leon—also built by Charles, in the same riverside camp where Leon fought, right at the end of the bridge.

There are two sculptures at the head of the bridge, one is Eunomia, the goddess of order, and the other is Leon.

Charles would go to talk to the statue every day, and pray to the goddess of order by the way-he did regard Leon as an idol, and put Leon on the same level as the goddess of order.

The goddess of order is the belief of most people in Sarleon, and Charles 'believes' in Leon, so he built two statues so that the people and himself have spiritual sustenance.

It is really inappropriate to worship Li Ang as a god, after all, Li Ang is still a living person...

However, it is normal in many places to treat the leader one respects as a god, and it is not something out of the ordinary, so no one thinks there is anything wrong.

In early September, a wonderful thing happened to Charles.

The statue spoke.

But it was not Leon who spoke, but the statue of Eunomia.

Charles said that the voice went straight to the soul - Leon could understand it, because he had also heard Eunomia's voice, many times.

At that time, what Eunomia said to Charles was: "You should not worship evil spirits from other worlds..."

Evil spirits from another world?
Charles didn't understand what that meant at the time.

But the goddess came and spoke, which frightened Charles a lot.

So he told this to his venerable elder, Hereward, who was then stationed at Yongshield.

Of course, Hereward didn't understand what this meant. He felt that the goddess sent an oracle to Charles, which probably meant that the goddess of order favored Charles. Perhaps the goddess was just warning Charles not to be tempted by evil spirits. .

But Charles knew that he didn't encounter any temptation, and he was not the kind of person who had a strong desire for power and wealth. He was very satisfied with his current life and status.

Moreover, it is completely unreasonable to say that the Goddess of Order favors him - Charles does not believe in the Goddess of Order at all...

He is not a believer of the goddess of order at all, why does the goddess favor herself?

Maybe this voice is an evil spirit?

At that time, Charles felt that the statue of the goddess probably could not be kept...

But the problem is that Most of the members of Hereward and the Horn Calling Rangers are devout believers of the Goddess of Order. Charles didn't dare to tell them that he didn't believe in the Goddess anymore, and of course he didn't dare to destroy the statue.

After returning to Fletcher, Charles began to dream every day.

And those dreams were like prophecies—he could always dream of real things that happened thousands of miles away.

First, he dreamed that Li Ang was hit by a javelin on the battlefield and was seriously injured—this was indeed happening, but Li Ang was near Emperor Lingang at that time, thousands of miles away from Charles.

Then I dreamed that Amy led the farmers to reclaim wasteland in Barranley Town, and was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake in the grass. Fortunately, the farmers rescued them in time and there was no serious problem - even Leon didn't know about this.

Then I dreamed that there was a riot in the area of ​​Cliff Bay. Farmers and merchants were plundered again and again by the Fieldsway people, and they could hardly survive, and launched a large-scale uprising.

After that, Charles began to dream about Leon's experience continuously.

From the time when Li Ang set foot on the continent of Pendor until Li Ang went to Emperor Lingang—except for the year when he was struck by lightning and disappeared, almost everything appeared in Charles' dream.

Charles was like watching a series about Leon in a dream.

Until mid-September.

That was the last dream Charles had. In the dream, he 'saw' Li Ang and a woman whose face could not be seen clearly in a strange chaotic space.

The woman was like a phantom, and she couldn't see what she looked like.

As for that Leon, Charles always felt that something was different, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Probably, it looks like Charles saw Li Ang at the gate of the Noble House for the first time—maybe a few years younger than now.

"Charles, go cooperate with the Jatu warlord Zakar and let the Jatu people occupy Changhe Town..."

In the dream, Charles heard the young Leon say such a sentence.

That was indeed Li Ang's appearance, and it was indeed Li Ang's voice.

Of course Li Ang's order must be obeyed, but Charles still hesitated at the time. He asked, "Your Majesty, why did you do this? Who is this... lady?"

"She is a god. Charles, if you don't do this, Leon will die, and you will die too... That evil spirit will eventually kill everyone, just like Hereward!"

The two people disappeared after leaving such a sentence, replaced by Hereward in the dream—Charles dreamed that Hereward died of illness.

And one day later, Charles received the bad news from Castle of Valor—Hereward really died of illness!

Charles personally investigated and found that Hereward was not killed by someone, but died of illness. This is not a man-made conspiracy, this is indeed a revelation from the gods!
…………

"Your Majesty, I know that all my dreams are real—just like Uncle Hereward...even if their words are malicious threats, I must obey them, otherwise...I am not afraid of death, but I cannot bet Your life. I went to Zakar according to what the majesty said in the dream, and let his troops enter the hinterland from the Noldor Forest, but I restrained him from looting in the territory, otherwise I would not cooperate with him. "

Charles smiled wryly: "But after being locked up here, I figured it out. I might be possessed by an evil spirit—that person said 'Long River Town', not 'Long River City'. Probably they are the evil spirits, They pretended to be you to deceive me, so the goddess asked me to 'expel evil spirits from other worlds'."

"As long as you can figure it out... I won't blame you, on the contrary, I should thank you, Charles."

Li Ang sighed with a headache.

He knew that Charles didn't understand at all.

But fortunately, Charles is indeed extremely loyal to himself. He didn't think about other possibilities at all, but made up the idea of ​​"evil spirits pretending to be Li Ang to deceive"...

He only dared to explain the reason to Li Ang, and it was also for the sake of Li Ang's reputation-"Li Ang" personally gave him the order, Charles could not tell others, and he did not think that Li Ang was "killing the donkey", but I plan to take the blame on myself.

Li Ang already understood that the evil spirit Goddess Eunomia wanted Charles to expel—in fact, it was Li Ang himself...

He is indeed a soul from another world, occupying the body of the original 'Leon'.

It turned out that Eunomia did this to manipulate the Chosen One against the Snake Cult.

But after the explosion of Az Dahaka, his soul and Leon's body were truly fused, and Yunomia's control over the Chosen One was lifted-that is to say, Eunomia could not control Leon's body. The soul is sent back...

For the goddess, this kind of out-of-control soul is indeed an alien evil spirit like the abyssal demon...

The dreams that Charles had were actually the goddess telling him that his current boss was not himself, but another soul.

The young man in his last dream was not himself, but the soul of that 'Lyon'.

Charles started dreaming at the beginning of September, when Li Ang was injured by Agathon in Bullin Village, and stayed in Bacchus all the time.

The dream lasted until mid-September, and Charles received the instruction from 'Leon' to cooperate with the Jatu people...

And mid-September was when Li Ang met Kavala and Malbert in Emperor Lingang.

In other words, after Li Ang was injured on September [-]st, Eunomia began to prepare. If Li Ang returned to Long River City after being injured-it is estimated that Eunomia would not harass Charles, but would fight with Kava Like pulling, directly harassing Li Ang himself...

Because the beginning of September should also be the time when Kavala first started to do things-the two gods should have started to prepare after discovering that Li Ang was seriously injured.

But after Li Ang was injured, he didn't return to Lieshijing, but stayed in Emperor Lingang to recuperate...

Originally, this was because the Knights of the Glorious Cross were very good at treating trauma, and the chest was injured and it was not suitable for movement.

This just avoided the original preparations of the two gods - Bacchus is not the territory of Eunomia, and there is neither a statue of Eunomia nor a statue of Kavala in the territory.

So the impatient Kavala went to Dilingang with Alles and Malbert.

And Yunomia, who was calm, waited until mid-September, after Li Ang locked Kavala into his soul space, and then brought the original "Leon" to Charlie Storm, and asked Charles to release Kavala. Figure people enter.

Let Charles lead the Jatu people into Changhecheng, which may be to allow Li Ang to face a more difficult battle again while his injury has not healed.

She may want to make Li Ang lose consciousness, so that the original "Leon" can return to this body, or try to delay Li Ang's pace of conquering the mainland.

Li Ang can actually understand why Eunomia wants to deal with him...

Because the Snake Cult in Pendor Continent has been purged, Kavala was also imprisoned in his soul space by Li Ang.

Junomia obviously wants to kill the donkey, and this can also send Kavala away by the way - exiling Leon's soul is equivalent to exiling Kavala together, Junomia probably doesn't want to miss this good opportunity .

In addition, there should be another very important reason-Charles built a statue for himself and juxtaposed himself with the gods...

This is what Kavala used to do.

Eunomia probably thought Leon would be another Kavala.

Moreover, she can no longer descend to the earth in person, and she can only try her best to let other people kill Li Ang—before Li Ang gains enough faith and becomes a real god.

stupid god...

Li Ang is a little helpless now.

Gods also have obsessions—or in other words, it is precisely because of their obsessions that they can become gods.

The teaching of Eunomia, the goddess of order, is of course to keep the land harmonious and orderly. She must also know that a unified Pendor continent can have real order.

But if the king who unified the continent wanted to become a god... just like Kavala, then in Eunomia's eyes, this person was a cancer on the continent—her views were a bit extreme, but they were not wrong.

If it is based on Kavala's thinking, if the Pendor Continent is conquered by him again, he may brainwash everyone into Snake Worshipers, and then turn those who cannot be brainwashed into "devoured" - so that he be the only God forever.

In this way, it really means that everyone is dead—maybe it is more terrible than death. A world where everyone is brainwashed may not be as good as the bloody abyss. At least there is true love in the bloody abyss.

As for whether Li Ang will be different from Kavala... Younomia definitely doesn't want to gamble, one Kavala is enough for her, if she is unlucky and gets another one, it will be really finished...

Eunomia knows better than anyone how Kavala became a god——Kavala has never lost a battle in his life, he is the god of knights in people's eyes, and has been worshiped by many warriors. He became a god in the flesh.

And Li Ang must be more terrifying than Kavala in the eyes of Eunomia, because Li Ang conquered the mainland much faster than Kavala. In just a few years, he changed from a penniless poor boy to a man who controlled half of the continent. The king, and he is also good at making money, and he also solved the red death disease... It seems that nothing can stop him.

This also means that not only warriors and lords, but also businessmen, doctors, and civilians all worship Leon——Charles is an obvious case, he is a lord without much ambition, and the reason he worships Leon is actually because Leon seems All kinds of problems can be solved.

Therefore, Eunomia wants to stop Li Ang, she wants Li Ang to be defeated, or to die in battle...

From Eunomia’s point of view, this is indeed the way to do it—whether it’s the Jatu people, the Ravencrow people, or the Misty Mountain people, it doesn’t matter who it is, as long as it can kill Leon or To prevent Li Ang from unifying the mainland, just don't let Li Ang become a god like Kavala.

Fate is such a strange thing...

Li Ang and Kavala are both Eunomia's chosen ones, but both are targeted by Eunomia.

In fact, Li Ang is very wronged now - he really has no idea of ​​becoming a god, and the building of the statue is also Charles's personal behavior, and Li Ang doesn't even know...

But many things are like this. Both sides of the hostility may be for the well-being of the entire continent, and for the future of more people.

Li Ang didn't blame Charles, it's really not his fault.

The problem now is how to solve this problem—otherwise Eunomia will definitely continue to make troubles, and a goddess with obsession is quite scary.

Li Ang wanted to try to see if he could communicate with Eunomia.

But this matter must wait for Wendy to come back first, because only Wendy can recall Maltis from Wengedarian continent.

If you want to communicate with Eunomia, it can only be done in the soul space.

However, if the soul space is opened up, that is, the protection of the soul is given up, then Kavala may cause trouble-probably only Martis can keep Li Ang from going wrong.

In order to avoid any other troubles before Wendy came back, Li Ang locked himself in the bank warehouse first.

Just treat it as a vacation, anyway, with Charles by my side, I won't be alone.
