Working Prophet

Ever since Shapiro became the owner of Multiscale City, the city has not been as lively as it is now for a long time.

The new head of the Raimundi family devoted almost all of his energy to arresting the Blood Moon Society.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to throw many innocent people into dungeons and torture them severely. Due to Herodotus's rebellion, the Silver Moon Church lost its right to speak among the nobles and was unable to provide shelter for its believers.

The entire Scaled City is shrouded in great fear, and at the same time hatred grows wantonly in invisible places.

However, the Raimundi family has ruled this land for thousands of years, enough to make the people here feel awe of them.

Coupled with Shapiro's brutal methods, anyone who tries to show resistance will be quickly eliminated.

Until that man arrives.

The attitude of the people in Scaled City towards Herodotus is actually a bit complicated. He actually committed many crimes when he was in charge of the city for a short time.

The new army he formed was almost the same as bandits, and they turned the Scaled City into chaos, and later created the bloody lunch that shocked the entire Western Territory.

However, there is no harm without comparison. Compared to Shapiro, who massacred 20,000 people in one breath, Herodotus seemed a lot more benevolent.

And the most important thing is that the Blood Moon Society has a very tough attitude towards nobles and heretics, and is willing to provide protection to believers.

The believers of the Silver Moon Church have been fed up with the helpless days in the past, and the blood moon will add fuel to the fire in the dark, which completely ignites the anger accumulated in their chests.

Finally, they swarmed up and killed the tyrant who ruled the city.

And Herodotus naturally became the new master of the city. When he was lifted up by the believers, covered in scars and half-clothed, the scene was indeed somewhat solemn and sacred.

However, the Blood Moon Society and its believers had no time to be happy and soon had to face a new crisis.

This time their enemy is the real master of the Western Territory - the Figuerola family, one of the twelve nobles in the empire. In the eyes of outsiders, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

But Herodotus miraculously led a group of rabble to defeat the arrogant Gwen and his eight thousand army.

This battle shocked the entire Western Territory, and at the same time answered the doubts that the believers had always had in mind - who is the party favored by Bisiya.

The Scaled City once again became the holy city in the hearts of all Silver Moon Goddess believers overnight.

Naturally, Herodotus would not miss this opportunity. Instead of executing his enemies secretly as before, he followed what Quintus and others had done before and announced that he would publicly execute them in front of everyone. trial.

Allowing the masses of believers to decide whether they live or die is what Herodotus calls giving power back to the people.

Although lords from various places strictly prohibited the people in their territories from going to Dolin City, hundreds of thousands of believers still gathered in Dolin City on Judgment Day.

Even though they were in the dungeon, Gwen and Quintus could hear the cheers coming from the streets outside.

The acting city lord of Yanxue City looked a little ugly. He couldn't figure out why so many people supported the Blood Moon Society.

Gwen looked at Quintus in the corner and whispered, "Damn it, the trial is about to begin. Herodotus will definitely find a way to kill us, aren't you going to do something?"

"What do you want from me? Lord Gwen." Quintus opened his eyes.

"I don't know. Those Blood Moon Society believers must have believed in the Silver Moon Church before. You can try to convince them..."

"I can't do it." Quintus interrupted Gwen and shook his head.

"You are the high priest of the Silver Moon Church. Don't tell me that you can't do it," Ge Wen said angrily. "Don't forget who put you in this position."

"That's the problem," Quintus said. "Your political allies, the people who put me in this position, are not in the city right now."

The high priest of the Silver Moon Church paused and then said, "I think I can understand why Herodotus was able to win this battle."

"Because of those damn trebuchets and clay pots filled with rosin." Gwen said bitterly.

"No, because the people of this city chose to stand with him."

"Those people were simply deceived by Herodotus's rhetoric."

"Maybe," Quintus didn't object, "but now our fate will be decided by them."

Ge Wen was silent. After a moment, he suddenly said loudly, "What qualifications do those stupid people have to judge me? I am a noble, a member of the Figuerola family, and the acting city lord of Yanxue City!!!"

"Yes, but you are also a believer in the Silver Moon Goddess Pisiya."

A voice sounded outside the cell.

"This is a religious trial for the crimes you committed in front of the goddess."

After speaking, the man said to the jailer beside him, "Master Herodotus has arrived. Take all the prisoners here out."

Although Ge Wen was a little reluctant, he still had to stand up under the urging of the jailer.

Compared with ten days ago, he looked much haggard. Herodotus did not deduct their food, but as the acting lord of Yanxue City, how could Ge Wen get used to the food given to prisoners.

Moreover, Herodotus did not prepare a change of clothes for him. The arrow wound on Gavin's body was simply treated. The priests of the Blood Moon Society did not know how to disinfect, and many places had festered, exuding a vicious smell. Stink.

Ge Wen dragged his injured leg and limped outside the dungeon. The sunlight outside made him feel a little dazzling.

What made him feel even more dazzling was the red figure not far away.

The figure was surrounded by the crowd, and climbed the stone steps of the temple step by step amid cheers and applause.

Herodotus smiled and made a gesture to signal everyone to quiet down. Then he said,

“Our church has made a mistake for a long time, choosing to collude with those greedy nobles to satisfy their ever-expanding selfish desires, but forgetting who we should really rely on.

"We kept making concessions, losing our army, losing the power to protect ourselves, and losing our ability to distinguish between good and evil. But what did we get in exchange? We can't even provide shelter for our believers when they are persecuted."

The crowd roared with approval.

"But everything is different now. I am here, not only to save you from the cruel and evil lord, but also to bring you the justice you have always expected.

"——A fair and just trial! A trial decided by you personally!" Herodotus said with bright eyes.
