False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

Xie Yi was flipping through the books in the palace library.

In this world, printing has not yet been invented, and all books are manuscripts, and the material of the pages is basically parchment, which is very precious.

Daqi Kingdom is a remote small country, and there are not many books in the library, not to mention compared with the libraries on the earth, even the books in the study rooms of some people who love to read are better than those in this library. many.

Since Xie Yi conquered Jacob and resolved the imminent crisis, he often came here to read books. Jacob is not interested in "the world of ordinary people", and Xie Yi also needs time to be alone, so he will stay here for a while during the day .

The book he is reading now is called "The Word of God", which is the holy book of the church that believes in the goddess of the sky.

It is written in the book: The sun and the moon are his eyes, the vast sky is his body, and the stars are the embellishments on his skirt.

This sentence seems a bit familiar, right?

Xie Yi recalled that in the manuscript stories he had read, the supreme god enshrined in the Holy Church seemed to be the same?

The author describes: the sun and the moon are his eyes, the vast sky is his body, and the stars are the embellishments on his crown.

Xie Yi: ...?

He also found some holy books from other sects. Books are rare and precious these days, and the holy books are not very thick. Most of them are beautiful booklets and the like.

Xie Yi quickly flipped through these booklets, and he found that the descriptions in these booklets were different, but there were many sentences similar to the Supreme God described by the author in the manuscript story.

But now, the Holy Church has not yet appeared, and there is no record of the god Supreme God.

...It seems that the god Supreme God was created by Sexitus himself, and all his descriptions and functions were also borrowed and stitched by Sexitus from other gods.

This is too perfunctory, right?

He read the book for a while, and then prepared to go back to the stone tower.

However, today's journey was not very peaceful. He hadn't walked for long before he heard screams and the sound of a whip being whipped on a person's body.

Get closer, and you can clearly hear the begging for mercy mixed with the screams:

"Have mercy! Please spare me this time!"

"I swear I'll never do it again!"

"Master, please! Stop hitting!"

The screams came one after another.

The person who beat them obviously didn't want to show mercy, and he cursed angrily while beating them: "Untouchables like you should be beaten severely, you dare to come to the palace to steal food, I think you don't want to live!"

"Forgive me...we're just too hungry...don't fight..."

Xie Yi learned from their conversation that the Daqi Kingdom is suffering from a famine. It has not rained for nearly a year. The rivers are dry, the fields have already cracked, and the crops are all dead.

The few people who were being beaten dared to steal some food from the palace because they were so hungry that there was nothing they could do.

It's just bad luck that he was caught right away.

Beside the two beaten farmers, there was an overturned wooden barrel, and a huge pile of sour fruit peels spread all over the floor

——This is the "food" they stole.

Even in the palace, they didn't dare to steal normal food at all, they only dared to secretly fill a wooden barrel with fruit peels to feed pigs.

Xie Yi was in a complicated mood, looking at the two peasants who were being beaten, and the court attendant who was smugly waving the whip, he felt a sense of gloom rising from his heart.

He stepped harder and coughed deliberately.

"What are you doing?"

he said darkly.

Hearing his voice, the court servants who were flaunting their might were terrified. Seeing Xie Yi wearing a mask and wearing a black robe, they trembled:

"Your Excellency... I, I am punishing the hateful thief..."

The mask covered all of Xie Yi's expressions, and others could only hear him say coldly: "Really?"

"It's really unfortunate that you made me angry."

The next moment, under the horrified gazes of the other three, the court attendant flew up on the spot and was hung on the flagpole. Xie Yi recited a binding spell to prevent him from falling off.

After that, he turned his head to look at the two farmers kneeling on the ground.

They were looking at Xie Yi in extreme fear.

Xie Yi closed her eyes and said coldly, "Don't you take this pile of garbage on the ground with you?"

The two farmers heard the amnesty, and panickedly picked up the barrel, and hurriedly put the fruit peels on the ground into the barrel.

Xie Yi stood and watched them for a while, but didn't speak.

He silently recited a spell, and more than twenty smoked fish fell from the sky.

"Deal with these disgusting things." He lifted his feet and walked forward, leaving without looking back.

He was once a helpless orphan, but even at his worst, he could eat bread.

The farmer who was picking up the peels was almost stunned when he saw the smoked fish piled up in front of him.

They were stunned for a while, and when they came back to their senses, they immediately poured out the fruit peels in the wooden barrel, and then put the smoked fish in it.After the smoked fish was installed, a large pile of peels was placed on top to cover the smoked fish below.

There were still a lot of peels on the ground, but the barrel was full, so one of them took off his tattered clothes, and the other spread the peels on the ground with him on the clothes.

They are unwilling to let go of even a small piece of fruit peel, and in the end it is a pile of fruit peels mixed with soil and grass clippings, wrapped in rag-like clothes, and then held in their arms with preciousness.

"I thought I was going to die."

One of the farmers said to the other, "That wizard looks scary, but I don't think he's bad, I mean, look, there's so much smoked fish!"

Another person held a heavy peel in his hand and said: "My grandma said that although wizards have bad tempers, they only take revenge on those who offend them. We didn't mess with him, so he won't do anything to us."

"My mother-in-law will definitely be happy now."

……

After Xie Yi returned to the wizard's tower, he was still thinking about those two farmers just now.

They should have been smiling in the golden wheat fields, but here, their clothes are ragged and the drought is coming. Not only is there no one to help them, but they even have to pay heavier taxes than usual.

Xie Yi remembered the "practice banquet" that the queen had held for them before.

Countless dishes were brought up like water, and the queen only took a few sips before asking her servants to remove them and serve new dishes.

A gloom lingered in his heart, but he couldn't do anything now.

In the place where he used to live, he was just an ordinary person, but he had no worries about food and clothing and could pursue what he wanted.

Xie Yi went to the table and sat down, flipping through the notebook that he had flipped through countless times.

found it.

【Plant growth potion】

This was originally used to give birth to the medicinal materials needed by the wizards. The principle is very simple, by instilling vitality into the plants to make them grow rapidly.

The raw materials are also easy to obtain, just use some stubborn weeds, extract their vitality, and dissolve them into the potion.

Xie Yi made many bottles of plant growth-stimulating potions, and then put them into the space ring.

The Royal Palace, the Temple of the Sky Goddess.

"So, he's here because of a prophecy."

The priestess spoke softly, her beautiful eyes looked at the young man kneeling in front of the sky goddess statue, she saw in the prophecy that he was covered with glory and ruled the entire continent.

if she could...

The ears of the priestess turned red, and her voice became more melodious: "Before I left, I saw the red circle he drew on the calendar. He will leave here in just six days, and you will never have to use it again." tortured by him."

"Thank you for telling me this."

Sexitus stood up with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold and indifferent: "Really, thank you."

"you are welcome."

Sexitus turned and left, his eyes turned to the direction of the stone tower.

"Six days...?"

The next day, when Xie Yi woke up, he heard Jacob say to him: "Master, the old king is going to drive the queen out, he doesn't want the queen anymore."

Xie Yi hadn't fully woken up yet, he was stunned for a while, and then said "Ah?" slowly.

Jacob originally didn't want to care about ordinary people's affairs at all, but after observing this period of time, he found that Xie Yi's hobby is to understand the lives of ordinary people, and Xie Yi has a good attitude towards Queen Camilla, so maybe he will Interested in this news.

Xie Yi was a little confused by this news.

Hasn't the old king been in bed for a long time?What's more, he has always loved his young queen very much, and obeyed Camilla's orders, even if he knew that Sexitus was being treated harshly, he would let him go.

And today, without warning, it is said that the old king intends to drive the queen out?

At this time, Jacob added: "Oh, he also plans to drive out the prince born to the queen."

The news was so confusing that it took Xie Yi a while to figure out what was going on.

It turned out that the old king who was lying on the sickbed learned that the queen had been unfaithful to him, and that even the little prince Oheze she gave birth to was not his own son. Temporarily regained health.

The first thing he did after he stood up was to give an order to deprive the queen of her name and drive her and her "wild species" out of the Daqi Kingdom.

Xie Yi was shocked.

Logically speaking, the old king has been ill for a long time, and the queen has the support of many nobles. Even if the old king suddenly recovered, it should not be possible to drive the queen away so easily.

But the fact is that, regardless of whether they supported the queen before, all the nobles sided with the old king, and his order was carried out at once.

The queen was originally a princess of a neighboring country, and the old king just wanted to drive her back to the kingdom where she was.

This incident broke out too quickly and without warning, and there was thunder on the ground, Jacob didn't know the ins and outs, and Xie Yi couldn't get any more news.

But even if he didn't know, he still felt that Sexitus must have something to do with it.

He must be behind the scenes.

Xie Yi was silent for a while, thinking that since the queen was gone, whether he should take this opportunity to leave as well.

But the time has not come yet, if he leaves now, will Jacob become suspicious?

He hesitated, and there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

The door opened, and in came the Queen in a great cloak.

Her beautiful face was distorted, and her voice was full of anger: "Your Excellency! Please help me kill that damn thing Sexitus!"
