Working Prophet

After speaking, the man knelt down and carried the bruised Ilkander, "Please be patient, I will find someone to treat you as soon as I leave here."

"You...you are from Herodotus, why...why do you want to save me." Ilkand murmured.

"Because the great Pisiya will not abandon her followers." The man said.

"This is nonsense. She just abandoned us, right in that valley..." Ilkander shook his head, "We were all abandoned."

"Every hardship is just to guide us on the path we must take."

"Don't waste your efforts. No matter what the only way, you can't even get out of this dungeon with me."

"Really? Let us wait and see, Lord Ilkand."

After the man finished speaking, he carried Ilkander and walked outside. As a result, they met two jailers after only a few steps.

Ilkand wanted to open his mouth and laugh at the Blood Moon Society believer who appeared out of nowhere.

But then he saw that the two jailers seemed to have suddenly become blind, turning a blind eye to them passing by.

Still there, he continued to chat about a plump prostitute he met half a year ago.

"How did you do it?" Ilkand asked in surprise, "Are we invisible?"

"People tend to turn a blind eye to the answers that are right in front of them." The man replied.

Ilkand snorted coldly, "I don't understand. Don't you guys know how to talk well?"

"They are our people." The man then explained, "They are looking forward to the arrival of the blood moon just like us."

"Ha... I thought that most of your people had been killed, so why did you save me? I have also arrested and executed many priests of the Blood Moon Society."

The man was silent for a moment after hearing this, "Violence cannot eliminate faith, it will only further promote the growth of faith. We have many companions, more than you think. As for you... Lord Ilkander."

"You have indeed done some bad things, but High Priest Herodotus also believes that everyone should have a chance to change their ways. Moreover, fate has guided you to us."

"Have you always been so confident?"

The man suddenly stopped when he heard Ilkander's words, and the two of them were almost out of the dungeon.

"Well, you don't have to be so realistic. You just heard that I don't plan to join you. Do you want to leave me here again?" Ilkand said.

"No, I stopped just because there are still patrolling guards outside. We need to wait for a while until our team of guards comes to hand over."

The man explained, and after a pause he continued, "You will join us."

"I have to think about this..."

Ilkander planned to stabilize this Blood Moon Society believer first, because he really didn't want to stay in this dungeon any longer.

However, he listened to the man saying, "You are already at the end of your rope. What are you still thinking about? Who else but us will be kind enough to take you in?"

Ilkander's heart tightened, "What do you all know?"

It stands to reason that the news of his murder of Marquis Cullen should not have spread beyond the valley.

The man smiled and said, "We know that all the goddesses want us to know things. Come on, I will take you to a place where there are some unpopular people like you and the high priest Herodotus."

"It doesn't sound like a very desirable place, like a hideout for a bunch of dirty rats."

"Rat? Maybe, but we will not be rats forever. Lord Ilkander, haven't you discovered yet that the peace of the past is over and disaster is about to come.

“Not just the Western Region, but the entire continent will be plunged into turmoil. That is the goddess’s anger, but it is also her kindness.

"Then the old rules will be broken, and we will have the opportunity to reshape new rules. Are you going to welcome this opportunity with me, or are you going to continue to be a mouse that never sees the light of day?"

Ilkand couldn't help but feel a little moved.

No matter how good his reasons were, killing Marquis Cullen was still killing Marquis Cullen. This was an unchangeable fact.

In the future, he is destined to be spurned and hated by others with the reputation of being a regicide, and he is the only one left among the three insiders at the beginning.

In order not to be suspected, even his cronies thought that he had really taken refuge with the dwarves.

Ilkander is now unable to argue. From the moment he agreed to Cullen's request, his life has been completely ruined.

He will never be able to turn around...unless, as that person said, he can become the maker of new rules, and he may also be able to find a way to get rid of this curse.

But even at this time, Ilkander still did not forget his responsibilities.

"I can go with you to see Herodotus, or I can join you, but before that, I need to tell the reinforcements who come to support the dwarves' conspiracy."

"There is no need for this." The man shook his head and said, "The support army entered the Dragon's Back Mountains eight days ago. It is too late for you to find them now."

"What?" Ilkand was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that he had paid so much, including the life of Marquis Cullen, but still could not prevent this tragedy from happening.

After a while, he asked again, "Who is the commander of the support army? How many people do they have?"

"According to the information we have received, the commander of the support army is the champion of the empire's martial arts tournament, the dragon-slaying hero of the Western Region, and the head of the Arias family, Ilea. In order to go into the mountains to save people as soon as possible, she set off this time with only Five thousand people."

Ilkander's face looked a little ugly, "Are there only five thousand people?"

"Don't worry about them. Chaos is also an opportunity for us." The man said, "Besides, the dragon-slaying female knight may not lose this battle."

"How can they win?" Ilkand was not optimistic about the future of the supporting army. "The dwarves opposite have an army of twenty to thirty thousand troops, and there are also savages in the mountains to help. What does Sir Ilea have?"

"She has the prophet Merlin who is both retired."

Ilkander was surprised again, "I thought you and Shuangxiujiao were enemies."

"We are indeed enemies, but this does not prevent me from offering my heartfelt praise to them. High Priest Herodotus often said that only by facing the gap can we make progress. Our enemies are also our best teachers."

The man sighed, "High Priest Herodotus suffered a lot at the hands of the Prophet Merlin, and the biggest lesson he learned was that he must not treat the Prophet Merlin and his two-year-old religion with common sense.

"There is probably a terrifying power hidden in that prophet that can distort the world."
