False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

"What are you going to do now?"

Sexitus asked, his voice even, "Let me guess, maybe you're going to put me back in the box, and put me back like I came here?"

Xie Yi's intention of coming was guessed by him.

He had nothing to say, and he didn't want to say anything. He strode up to Sexitus and took out a bottle of sleeping potion that he had made a long time ago.

Xie Yi unscrewed the cork, walked up to Sexitus, and ordered concisely: "Drink it."

"Your behavior reminds me of a time in the past."

Sexitus snorted and said, "Will you miss the time you spent with me?"

Xie Yi replied indifferently: "I don't miss it."

"It's really sad." Sexitus raised his eyebrows, the wizard's hand had reached out and pinched his chin, he raised his head in cooperation, and drank the bottle of potion poured by the wizard.

The wizard's neglect of him all this time had led him to discover a problem.

The wizard has extraordinary power, but he is just an ordinary person.

If he wants the wizard to face him squarely, he needs to have more power.

Now this is not enough, he needs more power, a higher status, and a stronger army.

Xie Yi didn't know what Sexitus was thinking, he was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Sexitus was so obedient today, vigilantly suspected whether there was a fraud.

He didn't show it on the face, and he was very afraid in his heart, but after a while, Sexitus fell into a coma according to the effect of the medicine.

No moths were produced from beginning to end.

So he held his shield against the air for so long?

Xie Yi was a little depressed, but it was good that Sexitus didn't make trouble. Xie Yi put the clothes that Sexitus had changed, together with the cloak and crown, into the box, and put Sexitus in again.

After checking the ventilation holes around the box to ensure that Sexitus would not suffocate halfway, Xie Yi taught the big box to the waiting witch.

【I will send him back smoothly. 】

The witch typed on the crystal board, then put the box into the interspatial ring, rode on a broom and left gracefully.

Sexitus' big trouble was finally resolved, and Xie Yi also said goodbye to Benlik, and after accepting many hats presented by the other party, he and Jacob left in a carriage.

They returned the same way they came, but this time Xie Yi was in a relaxed mood, and there was no reason for him to hurry. He stopped and stopped on the road, and after finding the trace of the monster, he judged that his strength could deal with it, thank you Yi followed the trail to find the past.

With a lot of practical experience and raw materials used to make potions and alchemy products.

Stepping into that bustling city again, Xie Yi and Jacob still chose the hotel they stayed in when they came.

This time, Xie Yi planned to stay in the city for a while.

——Having been in this different world for so long, he has never seen a real city, and now he just "sees the world".

In order to avoid causing panic, Xie Yi changed her black robe, put on a silk shirt and trousers, put on moccasin boots, and then sat in front of the mirror and began to comb her hair.

Wizards don't need to comb their hair, they just need to wash it regularly, but after taking off the black robe, Xie Yi looked at the black hair that was longer than his shoulders, and felt that he couldn't let it hang around his head like this anymore.

There was no rubber band here, so Xie Yi casually tied up her hair with a silk headband.

After the tossing was over, no one would have guessed that the beautiful son in front of him was a wizard.

With long hair, he looks more like a poet or artist.

Xie Yi refused Jacob's company and walked alone on the street.

This city is indeed prosperous, the streets are full of people, and the hawkers are shouting one after another. Because of the relatively open atmosphere, Xie Yi got flowers presented by seven or eight ladies with her beautiful face and expensive clothes.

This is the breath of the world, bustling and noisy, it can bring Xie Yi a strange sense of security.

There were also bards singing on the street with a sanxian. Xie Yi stopped and listened for a while, feeling that the lyrics were a bit wrong.

On this continent, bards can be regarded as the earliest journalists. They would write lyrics of unusual events that happened, and weave them into their songs to sing, so that people can understand the information while enjoying it.

And now, the bard sang

"False gods rise from the mud

Fools fall under his wicked feet

It can be seen that the plague brought by false gods has penetrated into people's weak bodies

death, death, the green shoot that grows in the body

It's the medal of the false god's grim smile

Our fairest and most merciful goddess

bowed his head, and mourned and wept for the wretched."

plague, green shoots growing from the body, death

These few keywords immediately attracted Xie Yi's attention.

He frowned, then let go.

Talking to the bard, Xie Yi went straight to the temple of the sky goddess.

There was already a sea of ​​people there, and there were several logs erected on the square, with burnt ashes under the logs, and charred human figures tied to the logs.

It's not hard to see what just happened here.

"Those who believe in false gods should be burned."

"That's right, it's all because they believed in false gods, which resulted in such a terrible disease and green shoots growing in their stomachs, God, I can't even imagine it!"

Xie Yi listened to the conversations of the citizens around him, and quickly guessed the outline of the matter.

And on the high platform in front of the temple, the high priest in a delicate white robe was smiling gently.

He looks so holy that people can't help but want to bow down under him and believe in him wholeheartedly.

"Everyone." The voice of the high priest was also very soft, but it could reach everyone's ears accurately, "This plague has brought us too much pain, we should put an end to all this and drive the false gods back to the ground , to save the compatriots suffering from the plague from his evil claws."

The high priest said compassionately: "Please pay more attention to the sneaky people around you. Only by purifying all the wicked people who believe in false gods in the fire, can the people who are suffering be relieved. May the loving goddess bless you and me."

Xie Yi's face was as cold as ice when he heard the high priest's words.

So good, so good.

This is obviously a toxin, but it has been spread as a disease.

However, even if it is spread as an epidemic, they don't think about how to treat it, how to relieve the pain of the patients, or how to find the root of the epidemic, but use it to eliminate dissidents.

Said it was a disaster brought by the heretics, incited the panicked people to send all the heretics to the stake, and tricked them into doing so and all would be well.

The high priest closed his eyes slightly, and the sun shone on him, making him as sacred and beautiful as the legendary angel.

However, Xie Yi, who originally admired his face, now only feels that the other party is extremely disgusting, making him want to vomit.

But Xie Yi quickly calmed down.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity for wizards.

Wizards have already developed a simple and quick way to remove the poison. If they can solve this so-called "evil plague", they can immediately reverse part of the word of mouth.

But you still have to think carefully about the steps.

Otherwise, what if the high priest takes all the credit for the wizard's achievements by talking up and down?

These religious people have thick skins, there is nothing they can't do.

And the people here basically believe in the goddess of the sky. The high priest opened his mouth and said that it was not the wizard's credit, but the goddess' manifestation. If the goddess did not appear, the wizard would never be able to develop a detoxification method, so it is still the credit of the goddess. .

That would be disgusting.

Xie Yi didn't want to read any more, and turned her head to leave.

However, two knights in silver and white armor blocked his way.

"Your Excellency Xie Yi." One of the knights said: "Please stay a while, the high priest wants to see you."

Xie Yi gave them a cold look, "I'll only give him 3 minutes, and after 3 minutes, if he hasn't appeared in front of me, you two will bear my anger on his behalf."

Being able to call his name accurately, they should also know that they are wizards. Xie Yi is very disgusted with these people in the temple now, and threatened them very neatly.

Sure enough, the two knights took a few steps back in fear, but they didn't show any surprise.

He wanted to see what the high priest could say.

But after much deliberation, it is estimated that there is only one thing.

Encourage him to kill Sexitus.

But Xie Yi would never do that.

The high priest came very quickly, and his attitude was as gentle and amiable as the spring breeze. If it wasn't for the scene just now, Xie Yi might have a good impression of him.

"Please sit down."

He brought Xie Yi to the main hall of the temple. The main hall looked magnificent, and a pure white statue of the sky goddess was standing in the center of the temple.

Sunlight pours down from the dome through the glass, making the statue look a bit like a goddess.

The high priest asked Xie Yi to sit down at the table, and personally brought a pot of scented tea and a plate of delicate pastries.

Xie Yi neither drank tea nor ate cakes, and asked in a cold tone: "What do you want from me?"

"I am looking for you because you are the chosen one in the prophecy."

Xie Yi curled up his fingers, and said in a neutral manner: "Stop talking about specious nonsense, wizards don't believe in prophecy."

The high priest was not discouraged, "Don't you believe what I said?"

Xie Yi raised one corner of her lips, "I don't think I need to believe a liar."

His tone was mocking: "Prophecy? How ridiculous, the gods you worship are just your cash cow, and the prophecy is just a lie you use to eliminate dissidents."

"It seems that you have a deep prejudice against us." The high priest was still gentle and indifferent after hearing Xie Yi's unceremonious ridicule, "But I can understand that this is a common problem among wizards. You are too pretentious and think you are the master , as everyone knows, all of us are dust floating above the earth, and only by kneeling under the goddess can we obtain peace and happiness."

Xie Yi snorted coldly and did not speak.

The high priest continued: "You are the savior of this continent, and only you can save the continent from Sexitus."

"He's just an ordinary king, and I don't see how he has the ability to destroy the world." Xie Yi said indifferently: "If you are looking for me to say these things are completely unfounded, then I can only start gone."

"Please wait."

The high priest smiled and said, "Who said we have no evidence?"

Now Xie Yi became a little interested. He raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Really? What evidence do you have?"

"I will show you what will happen to this continent if you don't shoulder your responsibilities."

The high priest carefully took out a radiant crystal ball, "Please put your hand on it, and then you can witness the coming end of this continent with your own eyes."

Xie Yi inspected the crystal ball indiscriminately, and found that it was indeed covered with a layer of mysterious power.

He wanted to see what these people were going to show him.

Xie Yi put his hand on the crystal ball.

He felt the space distort rapidly, his eyes blurred, and after regaining consciousness again, the originally bright hall had turned into a gloomy prison cell.

The torch on the wall was burning, casting mottled light and shadow on the dark wall, but it made the cell look even more eerie.

Xie Yi couldn't move, he felt that his witch power had been completely imprisoned in his body, and his hands and feet were tightly bound by cold chains, so he couldn't move at all.

"I've got you, my dear wizard."

Sexitus' voice suddenly sounded, Xie Yi looked towards the source of the sound, and subconsciously frowned.

The Sexitus in front of him made him feel very strange. Although his appearance was almost the same as what he remembered, he was not the same person at all.

Sexitus came out of the shadows, the firelight hit half of his face, and his other face was hidden in the darkness.

The deep-lined eyebrows and eyes are gloomy and sinister, and the bright red lips seem to be stained with blood.

He stood not far from Xie Yi and spoke softly, his tone was casual, with a condescending understatement and a joking honorific.

Danger!

The first time Xie Yi saw him, his brain instinctively sounded an alarm.

This is an extremely dangerous man, you must stay away from him.

However, his hands and feet are bound now and he cannot move at all.

Without any warning, Sexitus rushed forward. He reached out and grabbed Xie Yi's chin, forcing him to look up. With the other hand, he brushed aside the long hair that covered his eyebrows and eyes, as sharp as a knife. The sharp gaze swept over Xie Yi's face carefully.

"who are you?"

Sexitus's tone was gentle, even with a bit of a smile, but the danger contained in the words made Xie Yi's hair stand on end.

"who are you?"

Xie Yi didn't answer, so he asked again.

At the same time, his fingertips gently pressed Xie Yi's eyelids, "Such beautiful eyes, you are not him."

"Tell me who you are."

The strength of Sexitus' fingertips increased, his tone was still soft, but his words were cruel, "Otherwise, I will gouge out your beautiful eyes, do you agree?"
