Chapter 674 How can you resist the gods?

In the end, the great miracle that the shaman association seeks is nothing else but a pale shower.

Whether it is true religion, future paganism, or other religious beliefs, they have all described that the world has ushered in the end, and that day, the rain was pale.

The pale rain has gradually become a symbol of destruction in literary works over the years. Countless poets and singers have played with this symbol, but they have never witnessed the terrifying power of the rain with their own eyes.

Elder William's descriptions of what the Last Shamans envisioned corresponded to the poems of the pagan prophets he saw in the future. This does not mean that Elder William is a so-called pagan prophet. After all, they are not. People of the same era, but the words of the two corroborate each other, which undoubtedly shows that the so-called great miracle is the pale shower!

"No, it must not be like this, it must not be like this."

Eden muttered to himself urgently.

Even if I have not witnessed the Pale Shower with my own eyes, I can see in many books in the future that the Pale Shower brings only endless disasters to a place.

In pagan books, there was a description of a magnificent city of the true religion. Its monarch and kingdom were once prosperous, but under the pale rain, it was reduced to a complete ghost town and a residence of pale evil spirits.

"We must not let this happen."

Eden clenched his fists.

but…

If... the great miracle is the will of my king,

So, how can a mortal resist a god?

What a magnificent and terrifying existence that is. As a priest, Eden knows that there are countless gods in the world. He has also read scriptures of other faiths and read the legends of those gods. But in Among the gods today, no one can compare with him. At this moment, he has only witnessed a corner of that existence, just like a man lying on the ground, using the corner of his eye to estimate the majesty of the mountain. Under the authority of that being, there is the faith of all kings, the faith of all peoples, and prophets follow Him one after another. The religion that believes in Him will dominate almost half of the world in the future, and even the true religion will decline in front of him. decline.

Eden didn't understand why God allowed such a thing to happen, why He allowed this being to have such great power, and why He wanted to hand the world into the hands of that being. Thinking of this, the priest trembled, and his original vows were silent. Dispersed, confusion surged up like a huge wave.

Not to mention that he was alone, even if thousands of mortals stood together, how could they resist him? I'm afraid that when the being breathed out, countless people would be killed by this breath.

And that being claims to have inherited the authority of the Kingdom of Heaven, and all people in the world must obey His calculations in life and after death. How could mortals disobey Him, and how could they stand together to resist?

When thinking of this, Eden couldn't help but be filled with sadness and fear.

After a long time, Eden finally came to his senses. He tried to calm himself down, kept reciting scriptures, and then looked outside the house and towards the sky.

"Lord, what are you asking me to do...You haven't given me any power, and you haven't let me hear any revelations. All I have received and heard are pagan things...Lord, why is this happening? ?”

Eden seemed to be praying or talking to himself. After a long silence, he walked down the stairs lonely.

................................................

................................................

Althea opened the door for Eden.

"You don't look... well."

Althea looked at Eden and said.

Eden exhaled a deep breath, then rubbed his cheeks,

"It's nothing. I came here to discuss something with you."

Althea turned sideways, let Eden in, and asked:

"what's up?"

"Take me to see Cassius V immediately!"

"what?"

"Explain it on the way."

.....................

After getting on the carriage, Eden finally told Althea what he saw today.

"You heard the informant's report, saw Elder William's body in the lower city, and then found this letter?"

Althea said in surprise.

"Yes, according to the contents of the letter, I'm afraid the so-called great miracle is not far away."

Eden paused and continued to add:

"The letter mentioned, 'On that day, a king will die and be forgotten.' We can use this to warn the king, let him be careful about assassinations, and persuade him to arrest the Last Shaman."

Althea nodded, thinking that everything Eden said was feasible.

"But with just one letter..."

Althea hesitated.     “There is no other way... I can only give it a try.”

Eden sighed.

He knew that it would be difficult to convince the king with just one letter, but he could not collect more evidence now.

It was almost dusk. At this time, Althea and Eden climbed up the long steps of the palace. Because of their status as princesses, the guards did not stop them. However, after the servants learned that there was an emergency, they sent someone to report it. , while quickly leading them to see the king.

Cassius V met the two of them in the study. When he saw Althea, he showed a kind smile and greeted them cordially:

"Isn't this Deschanel's daughter, and her knight?"

Cassius V was holding a wine glass in his hand. The content in it was not the secret wine that the Osenko people often drank, but wine. Althea observed the color and speculated that it should be the wine produced in Deschanel. A big winery.

Althea saluted and said directly without any more greetings:

"Uncle Cassius, you should have heard the servants' announcement that I came here to report something urgent."

Cassius V nodded, then showed a confused look,

"I did hear the report, but...it's an emergency. What emergency is it?"

Althea made a gesture to Eden, and the priest immediately handed the secret message in his arms to Althea, who then handed it over to Cassius V.

"This is?"

"The secret message left by Elder William."

Althea briefly stated:

"He is dead. My knight found him dead in a building in the lower city, and this is the secret message found on him."

Cassius V looked stunned and said:

"God, have you found him? Is he dead?"

"We will discuss the details later,"

Althea politely persuaded,

"Please also read this secret letter first."

After hearing this, Cassius V carefully read the secret letter from beginning to end. His expression gradually became serious from the shock at the beginning, and the wine glass in his hand kept shaking.

"According to my knight's speculation, the last shamans mentioned in the letter want to do harm to Uncle Cassius. They...may be trying to murder you..."

Althea repeated the words she and Eden had discussed on the carriage, and added some details. It was visible to the naked eye that the king's brows became more serious.

However, the king's face still showed no determination to take thunderous action.

So, Althea added:

"Uncle Cassius, I heard that there are many people among the old nobles who have helped and supported the Last Shaman."

This sentence, like a fatal blow from an assassin, stabbed Cassius V straight into the heart.

For a monarch, the most fearful thing is often not an assassination or an attack, but the opposition and conspiracy of the nobles below.

Althea saw that it worked, so she struck while the iron was hot and told some of her experiences of visiting the old nobles, and added details to it to try to outline the undercurrent of the situation.

Cassius V was finally convinced, firstly because of the letter in his hand, and secondly because he believed that Althea, as a foreigner, did not have much interest in the country and was more trustworthy than others.

"Okay, I will strengthen the palace's guard force and order the arrest of the Last Shaman Society tomorrow. Even if my ministers disagree, I will force it through."

Cassius V put down his wine glass and said so.

The blood-colored wine glowed with a ghostly luster under the dusk sunlight.

From his tone, Althea could tell that the more the ministers objected, the more the king would insist on passing it.

"In this case, it's almost curfew time, so we'll leave first."

Althea bowed, turned around, and led Eden out of the study.

When he reached the corner, Eden looked back and found a figure on the other side of the corridor, approaching the study room of the palace.

It was none other than Prince Devine.

"He's going to meet the king?"

Eden thought in his mind.

It was a very normal thing for the prince to go to meet the king. The priest didn't pay much attention to it. He followed Althea and slowly left the palace.
