Trillance Mountain is a barren mountain on the edge of the mainland. If you cross the Trillance Mountain from the territory of the Sancho people, you will see the border line of the mainland and the vast sea.The Sancho people have lived on this land for thousands of years, and they have passed down the belief in the rock god from generation to generation. They never doubt whether there are other races on the other side of the sea, only according to the oracle on the huge stone slab in the temple. He firmly believes that he is guarding the territory of the rock god, the edge of the only continent.

"But it's actually not like this." Petra smiled. "There is land beyond the sea, and there are other lives. Every priestess knows about it, but they never reveal it to the tribe."

The Sancho people are warlike, which is why they have not left their territory for a long time. Only by staying within their own tribe can they survive well.The God of Rock also knew that his believers were not strong enough, so he did everything possible to trap them with faith and prevent them from leaving the territory to ignite the flames of war.

But it is not easy to tie these believers. It was not obvious when the land was rich and they could live and work in peace and contentment. After the God of Rocks fell, people who were eager to move under the banner of faith gradually appeared.

One rainy night, Petra's poor barbarian mother rushed into the temple where she lived from outside, with wounds all over her body and a broken arrow stuck in her shoulder.Before she could reach the last step, she fell to the ground. The rain mixed with blood stained the ground in front of the temple. No, crying and telling Petra to run away.

Petra found it incomprehensible at the time. She lived in the temple since she was a child, and almost never left the temple except for a short time when she went out to communicate with her tribe, and she had no relationship with her biological mother.She felt very surprised, and wanted to lift the poor woman up and take her in for treatment, but before she could even speak, an arrow shot from outside the temple hit her mother in the back, and the seriously injured barbarian woman died .

"She was badly injured, and she might have lived a little longer, but the arrow was shot too accurately, and she died immediately on the steps of the temple." Her tone was flat, and her fingers rested on the god in the painting. On the temple, it seems to be talking about a person who has nothing to do with me, "I haven't spent a night with her since the day I was born, she has other children besides me, and most of the time I don't remember that I have any." I’m a mother, so for a long time, I couldn’t figure out why she came to remind me.”

Obviously she would not be killed as long as she stayed out of the incident, but she still passed through the heavily armed clansmen who surrounded the temple, and climbed up the long steps of the temple under the rain of arrows, just to remind her little daughter to "run away", Before he even had time to hear Petra say a word, he fell down in front of her in such a state of embarrassment.

"Stupid," Hodge said.

Half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the corner of the carriage, and his tone was as harsh as ever, but everyone knew that his words were not derogatory.

"Yeah, what a fool." Petra nodded, "When I had almost forgotten her, she actually used this method to make me remember her again."

She didn't continue talking, and no one reminded her to continue. There was a brief silence in the car. After a while, Elaine said in a low voice: "She should love you very much."

Petra smiled and said nothing.Violet stretched out her hand and pinched Elaine's fingers, signaling him to stop talking, and the young man belatedly noticed the inconspicuous red in the corner of her eyes.

Even if there is no emotion, that is the person who brought her life and gave her life for her.Whatever her psychological reasons for reminding Petra, it was the last thing she would do for her daughter.

She saved Petra's life at the price of her own.

After witnessing the death of her strange yet familiar mother, Petra didn't have time to think about it. She took her own weapon and fled from the side door of the temple before the people around her lost their awe of the rock god.Leaving the temple was not easy, as it was surrounded by her people in the rain and darkness.

The Sancho people who once regarded her as the spokesperson of the gods surrounded the temple with bows and arrows, and guarded the temple firmly under the steps. It was only after hitting several nails in a row that Petra realized what her mother had experienced. How difficult it was to come to the gate of the temple, and how did the injury come from.

"I don't know who my father is," she said, "and neither does she, because it was just an outsider she met on the border. Sancho used to be not against intermarriage and having children with outsiders, and then it happened. The man bid farewell to my mother and left Trillance Mountain—before I escaped from the temple, I never thought that the reason why I was hated would be this."

She finally found a route that was enough to avoid the crowd, left the temple standing high in the darkness, and fled all the way to the border with the outside world with the few memories of the territory.During that time, some people helped her and some people betrayed her, but in the end, Petra crossed the border before Dewindora, who was chasing her, caught up.

"Among those who helped me was Rosa, the former temple guard. She was the wife of Malediz, brave and kind. She was one of the few people who refused the invitation of Devondora. , she and her newborn child were chased up and caught by Dewindola... Judging from Malediz's situation, they should have died under Dewindola's spear."

Devendora was her partner when she was learning martial arts, and she was also the best fighter of her generation. She had a very devout belief in the rock god.When she first knew that she was the one who led the rebellion, Petra couldn't believe it for a while, but in the end she chased Petra to the border with a group of priestess guards, and threatened to execute her on the spot.

Even if she is good at fighting, Petra will never be able to defeat the group of people who came to hunt her down, because they are all female warriors who have studied with her and have excellent fighting ability, and she is just a woman who was kicked out of the temple. Outcasts who lost their priestess status.

Without the divine power of the God of Rock, she would not even be sure of defeating Dewendora alone, let alone a group of people.From the moment she saw the pursuers on horseback, Petra didn't think she would win, but tried every means to avoid them and escape to the border as quickly as possible, but she had no means of transportation , and was alone again, there was no place for her to hide in the wilderness, and it was only a matter of time before she was caught up.

"May I ask why you wanted to kill me?" she asked the barbarian woman her age, whom she had once considered a friend, after falling in the mud by the border river.

Until then, she didn't know the origin of this sudden rebellion. Rosa once wanted to tell her the reason, but before she had time, she was greeted with too powerful pursuers, so she had to leave quickly.So until the moment she was defeated, Petra still didn't know what she had done wrong.

In the first 20 years of her life, she has been living in the temple, and she has personally felt the Sancho people's faithful belief in the rock god. Even though she knew that this belief would be shaken one day, she never thought that this day would come like this quick.Knowing that the God of Rock has fallen, she still chooses to continue to guard Sancho, hoping that peace can last as long as possible, but she ignores her identity—the Sancho people will not tell the high priestess what is in their hearts Yes, especially after knowing something about her.

"Because you are not from Sancho." Dewendora raised the spear in his hand to aim at her, eyes full of hatred, "A person with the blood of Catherine's followers is not worthy to be Sancho's priestess!"

She hunted down the priestess Petra, but she didn't do anything disrespectful to the temple of the rock god, because from the beginning she wanted to deal with only the priestess.

In the legend of Sancho, Catherine, the goddess of green leaves, was once the wife of the God of Rocks, but she betrayed her husband for a mortal, and even took away the power of the God of Rocks, causing the God of Rocks to fall in a battle and lose the vast majority of believers.After the fall of the God of Rock, Catherine was nowhere to be found. Only the Sanchos were still guarding the Trillance Mountain he protected, hoping to see the return of the god they believed in one day.

Petra never knew who her father was, she was in Sancho since she was born, and never doubted her feelings for the rock god and Sancho's clan, what happened to Catherine's followers?

She was full of doubts, and asked Dewindola the same, but the other party obviously thought she was trying to quibble, and threw the spear involuntarily.Fortunately, Petra turned over and fell into the river in time, so she was not stabbed by the powerful spear and was only slightly injured.

This part of the border is a river with fast currents. She was washed away immediately after she fell into the river. Dewendora led people to chase her for a while but failed to catch up. In the end, she could only watch her being swept along the current. Dash downstream.

"Later, I was rescued by humans on the other side of the river, and then I met Violet before traveling with him."

"I've heard of Catherine." Violet is familiar with the legends of all the gods on the mainland, but he doesn't know much about the long-fallen god of rocks. "I didn't expect that in the legend of Sancho, she would be Such an image -- in my hometown, she has a good image."

Petra shrugged: "Those have nothing to do with me now, no matter how they know that my father is a Catherine believer, whether this matter is true or not, for me, they have been away from Sancho for so long. To continue to hunt and kill, this is what makes me feel strange."

"really."

The carriage was running fast, and Birkins, who was sitting outside, had not spoken, but was obviously listening.At the end of their exchange, he also happened to rein in the horse and joined the conversation: "We have arrived in Hiran, let's find a hotel to stay before making plans."
