False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

The sky is clear, and the hot sun hangs high in the blue sky. Under its heat, you seem to be able to clearly see the air twisting and twisting in front of you like a snake.

It has not rained for a long time in the Kingdom of Daqi, the land is cracked, and the river is dry, but the nobles who live in luxury can still bathe with wine, but in the countryside, a mouthful of water with yellow mud can make ten people beat up.

This is a contagious drought, whenever their majesty the king captures the next country, crosses out the original name of that country, and crowns it with "Kingdom of Daqi", the dark clouds in the sky of all cities in that country will disperse , It was as if His Majesty the brave king of Daqi Kingdom was a never-ending gust of wind, blowing away all the dark clouds that were preparing to rain.

A few old men secretly picked up the small statue of the goddess of the sky that had just been smashed, and with trembling hands, they reassembled the fragmented pieces of pale marble into a statue with a crooked face, "The king angered the goddess of the sky!"

One of the old men murmured: "If this continues, we will all die of thirst!"

They wanted to do something, such as asking to restore the temple of the goddess of the sky, and carve the statue of the goddess again, but the king's cruelty made them hesitate to act.

The vast Daqi Kingdom is like a pot of milk that is about to boil, and there are faint commotions everywhere.

Sexitus flipped through the large stack of official documents that were handed to him, half of which were asking him to restore his belief in the goddess of the sky.

He tossed the papers aside without looking at them, and in the end there were only a few of them left in the pile.

The king will not compromise, because he knows that even if the belief in the sky goddess is restored, there will be no rain from the sky.

If he ordered to restore the belief in the goddess of the sky, then in the next step, those priests would denounce him as the king in the form of an oracle and force him to step down.

The god was full of malice towards him, and it just so happened that the affection was mutual.

He opened a letter, which said that the rewards for the tasks he posted on the bulletin board were still not enough.

"What an expensive wizard."

He picked up the pen and doubled his original salary.

·

Xie Yi had already made up his mind not to take care of the tasks issued by Sexitus, but his determination had already begun to falter.

——He gave too much.

Leaving aside the astronomical amount of money, what is more important is a large number of magic plants and alchemy materials, some of which are quite rare.

Xie Yi persisted for a few more days, and then he decided to put his original thoughts aside.

However, out of caution, he decided to find out if Sexitus was playing tricks.

Two days later, when he picked a big cat to squat on the sofa and looked at him calmly, he said to the sweetheart kitten: "Honey, I'm going to stay in Benlik's wizard tower for a while, you stay at home obediently wait."

He changed his black robes for a white silk shirt, tied his black hair back with a bow, and pretended to be a slightly eccentric writer.

With the help of gold coins, he successfully arrived at the Daqi Kingdom. The current Daqi Kingdom is different from the previous Daqi Kingdom, which was similar to a village. He chose a bustling big city and rented a room in a hotel. , to sit in the tavern every day.

A few days later, he became acquainted with the tavern owner.

"A glass of wine, thank you."

The tavern owner wiped the wine glass with a rag, and he pushed the wine in front of Xie Yi, "You don't drink it every time you order it." He was a little puzzled: "Since you don't drink, why come to the tavern?"

"Well, I'm here to observe the city."

This young and beautiful young man put his elbows on the table: "Look, I just came to this city not long ago, and as we all know, the tavern is the fastest place to learn about this city, but when I heard about your city last time, you seemed It doesn’t belong to the Daqi Kingdom yet.”

"Of course, I cursed the goddamn king, but it's not for a change of country, he smashed the sky goddess temple in the city, because of his stupid behavior, we now have to live on a budget, it doesn't rain, But people have to drink water, and the price of water is getting more expensive every day.”

Xie Yi stayed in the city for a while, thinking about it.

Let's see again, if things are in line with his guess, then he may be able to temporarily cooperate with Sexitus.

He can be bolder now, there are many surrogate dolls he has made in the secret room of the wizard tower, even if he makes a mistake in his judgment, he will not lose his life.

And if his judgment is right, he can destroy the plans of the sky goddess and the innocent high priest.

Thinking of the compass still in his interspatial ring, Xie Yi felt an unknown fire in his heart.

To say that the person he hates the most in this world, apart from the high priest, is the goddess of the sky.

He could have lived a busy but peaceful life on Earth, but he was dragged here inexplicably. Not only did he have an extra enemy, but his quality of life plummeted.

A time bomb was also buried in the body.

The culprit who caused all this was still complacent, and said condescendingly to him as if to be kind: As long as you complete the tasks we arranged for you, you can return to your original life.

Disgustingly hypocritical.

Compared with them, even Sexitus looked much lovelier.

Xie Yi went back to the hotel, sorted out a small magic trick that could be achieved with chemistry, but was regarded as a miracle in this era, and then took a while to find the priest in red.

The other party is still in the same place, telling the believers how great the Supreme God is in a gentle tone.

Strangely, this priest obviously looks similar to the high priest, but Xie Yi doesn't dislike him.

"Please sit down."

After the believers left, the priest in red asked Xie Yi to sit down, "Please sit down, my dear guest, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm very interested in what you said before." Xie Yi got straight to the point. The astrolabe he was wearing made him understand that the priest in red in front of him was one of the soul fragments of Sexitus. His facial features, trying to find some traces of Sexitus.

But no, maybe because the acting skills are too superb, the priest in red got up and poured a cup of tea for Xie Yi, Xie Yi didn't move, as if he didn't see him, he said directly: "It's my honor to interest you."

The priest in red said softly, picking up what he said last time and continuing: "I don't think there is a need for gods to exist at all."

"Look at that statue."

Xie Yi followed the instructions of the priest in red and looked over. It was the statue of the supreme god. From the statue, it was a male god with a handsome but featureless face.

"It never ceases to amaze me that a stone becomes sacred after being endowed with divine meaning."

He snorted: "Instead of letting the people use their beliefs to enshrine that insatiable vampire, it's better to let their beliefs be turned into fodder to feed a false idol made of stone."

The priest in red smiled and pointed to the statue of the Supreme God: "I'm curious, I wonder if those beliefs can feed it alive."

Xie Yi noticed that the other party used "it" instead of "he".

It's like calling a beast casually.
