However, no one cares about the attitude of the small country—other than standing in line, they can only pray for the blessing of their ancestors.

At this time, the flames of war in the Arad Continent gradually subsided due to the tacit agreement of the two groups to stop.

As a result of the war, the Perus Empire was divided into two, the southern border was divided into the camp of the Far East Alliance, and the northern border became the sphere of influence of the Kashini Federation; the southern border was ruled by Ozma and renamed the Republic of Delos, and the northern border The nephew of Emperor Perus succeeded to the throne and continued to use the country name of the Perus Empire.

Although peace has finally been restored, the pain in the hearts of the people of the original Delos Empire has not healed for a long time.

They regard this civil war as a stupid and meaningless war, and the culprit is the former emperor of the Perus Empire.

The eyes of the people are discerning, and that is the truth.

If Emperor Perus had been a little quieter, hadn't killed Kazan, and hadn't forced Ozma, then nothing would have happened.

With the support of the two major forces, he could become the first king to rule the continent of Arad and enjoy the supreme glory; however, the emperor insisted on playing tricks, and finally killed himself alive—not only lost himself His chastity and life also ruined the unified Perus Empire, making the country once again divided into north and south.

It is true that he is the sinner of the ages in the continent of Arad.

At least in the Republic of Delos ruled by Ozma, the reputation of the Emperor Delos is already notorious, and he can be regarded as a model for the faint kings of all dynasties.

But just like this, Ozma was still not relieved, so he simply made Emperor Delos into a bronze statue, let him kneel in Kazan's temple, and confessed to Kazan who died unjustly day and night-if this matter is discovered Yiwen knew that he might be very popular in poetry, and he secretly recited a poem, such as "The green mountain is lucky to bury the loyal bone, and the brass innocent casts the faint king" or something.

However, he is busy running around now, and has no time to chant poems.

On the other hand, after learning about Kazan's deeds, Ellome was very moved, and even sent someone to worship him at Kazan's temple.

There is no monarch who does not like loyal ministers, especially famous generals who can fight and are loyal.

This move undoubtedly made Ozma very happy. After all, the banner of his rebellion was to avenge Kazan. The public worship of Kazan by the Menes royal family was clearly to give him a platform.

And the Perus Empire in the north is depressed. After all, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he is also the uncle of the current ruler... But protesting is useless.Finally, with an idea, they also built a temple for the emperor, and made the bronze statue of Ozma kneel in front of the emperor, confessing to him day and night.

After hearing the news, Ozma didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart, and added five bronze statues to the Kazan Temple, namely Jitou Si and Dark Angel Demon Boy.This move made people in the Perus Empire puzzled, but Ozma himself was very happy. Every time he went to pay homage to Kazan, he could recall the revenge night of "the chrysanthemums were full of wounds".

……

The flames of war subsided with the split of the Perus Empire, but the people of Arad seemed destined not to be peaceful. After saying goodbye to the torment of war, they ushered in an unprecedented plague.

This plague is different from any plague in the past. It will not kill the infected people quickly, nor will it destroy the health of the infected people-only their sanity.

Patients infected with this plague will become impulsive and bloodthirsty. While their strength speed is greatly increased, their mental state will gradually collapse.Its main symptoms are discoloration of the pupils, blood boiling, and it is very easy to fall into an irrational state, appear in a state of rage, and accidentally injure others.

Folks call this disease the Kazan plague.

Because when the patient got sick, he resembled the brave and bloodthirsty posture of Kazan when he was fighting.

Because of this, many people attribute this disease to Kazan's curse, and it spread quickly. Kazan has also changed from a famous general of the empire to a ghost of destruction.

For this situation, Ozma felt angry from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't accept that his best friend would not be able to find peace after death, so he just changed from a heroic spirit to a ghost, so he asked the Far East Alliance for help.

The Far East Alliance, of course, gave its full support—the Perus Empire also received help from the Kashni Federation.

It didn't take long for many infected people of the Kazan plague to learn to control the power of the curse after receiving treatment.

There are also some infected people who have mutated symptoms in their left arms. They are more impulsive, bloodthirsty, and destructive than ordinary infected people.In the early stage of the disease, the mutation began to spread upward through the fingers, the veins protruded from the skin, the skin turned blood-colored, and then the color turned into a strange crimson, and finally the shape of the entire arm turned into a blood-red devil's hand.

Medical personnel call this lesion ghost hands. People with ghost hands will have a different mental state over time, and even see ghosts and gods.People's views on the "ghost hand" are very dual-faced. They think it is "unknown and unfortunate", but at the same time they think it "can bestow great power".

The Far East Alliance and the Kashni Federation have also done a thorough study on the phenomenon of ghost hands. They found that generally the infected people of the Kazan plague will not grow ghost hands, only the golden descendants will grow ghost hands after infection.People with ghost hands will not only increase their strength greatly, but also their vitality will become beyond imagination. For normal people, a fatal injury may only need a bandage for them.

The more special situation is that whether it is the Kazan plague or the mutation of the ghost hand, it will only appear on the people of the original Perus Empire.

People from the Celestial Realm, Xu Zu people, dark elves, and even elves will not be infected.

This special phenomenon led scientists from the Far East Alliance and the Kashini Federation to believe that the Kazan plague was not a disease, but a key to release power.It will only work on a specific group of people, making the infected become stronger quickly, and even speed up the pace of awakening.

Ordinary infected people obviously lack potential, while those patients who have acquired ghost hands are truly heroic.

Continental of Arad, Basilica of Remedial Bastila

At dawn in the morning, the first ray of light shines clearly on the earth through the faint clouds, bringing soft warmth to the world that has slept all night.

The faint light is like a little candle, through the exquisite and gorgeous colorful mosaic glass, following the countless mirrors surrounding the hall; after thousands of reflections, it finally interweaves and shines in this splendid cathedral The hazy and elegant brilliance adds a pure and noble atmosphere to this church.

In front of the sanctuary of the church, a row of little girls with short ear-length hair and black sacrificial robes were kneeling on the carpet and praying devoutly.

At this time in the past, they would all sing beautiful and melodious divine comedies in the face of the rising sun.

Believers and pilgrims who come to the city to hear their hymns will surround the church buildings with water.

But on this day, all the clergy, including the bishop of the church, are just praying silently, because this will be their last day of prayer-after today, the church will no longer exist.

Behind the female priests stood a group of young men wearing red armbands and black uniforms; they surrounded the entire church hall, and stood there solemnly.

3 minutes later...

The leading black-haired youth glanced at his watch, took a step forward, and said loudly:

"The time is up, the Church of Remidia Bastila will be banned from now on! It will be changed to Remedial Bastila University! All the clergy above the priest will leave the church, and the rest will be kept, ready to receive professional training and start afresh. socially oriented."

His voice was so loud that it fell into the empty church, and even produced ups and downs of echo.

However, those priests didn't seem to hear a single one, they just knelt there, facing the altar and praying silently.

"Isn't what I said clear enough? If that's the case... then I'll repeat it carefully!"

The black-haired young man took out the order book, touched it in front of him, and read aloud:

"According to the order of Ozma, the protector of the country, the Church of Remidia Bastila was banned and changed to the University of Remidia Bastila. All priests and above priests will return to secular life. The rest of the staff will receive re-education and graduate. Then it can face the society.”

After hearing his words, the clergy remained indifferent, kneeling silently in front of the church, maintaining this silent opposition.

"We have delivered the order of the Lord Protector. If you still don't leave, we will have to expel you violently." While speaking, the black-haired young man turned around and cast a glance at his companions behind him, who immediately slammed One step forward.

"Start driving away people! Drive away all priests and priests!" He said holding back his anger.

Hearing his words, the socialists in Arad rushed forward without beating or cursing, and dragged the priests by their robes.As for those young clergymen, they just ignored them and let them kneel in front of the church to pray—as long as these old things are driven away, their thoughts will be straightened out sooner or later.

"You can't do this! You can't do this!"

At this moment, the archbishop of the church was lying on the ground, being dragged out by two youths by her calves—she struggled and cried out in grief: "Do you know what you are doing? You are destroying the sacred sanctuary , Blasphemy of the holy faith! God will curse you, God will curse you to Hell!"

"Shut up! Stupid idealist! I advise you to read more serious scientific magazines. God does not exist! There are no so-called oracles and divine punishment... Rather than wasting your life on meaningless prayers, go to Do something meaningful!" The young man on the left looked back at her with contempt on his face.

"If there are fewer idiots like you, it doesn't matter if I go to Hell." Another young man replied flatly.

"I understand!"
