Main Volume Chapter 59: The Divine Life Sect
"I can help you deal with Akito, but you have to do me a favor."
"What?"
"There is one thing I didn't lie to you about. I really don't know much about the situation in your kingdom. I am really new here, so I don't know where to find this thing."
Zhang Yun reached into his pocket, took out a dragon diamond, and then spread his hands in front of Lucina.
The dragon diamond is diamond-shaped and emits a soft light of light yellow. There is a dark halo in the center, which keeps rotating and flowing inside.
“It’s very important to me,” he said.
"Do you know where I can get it?"
Anyway, Lucina has already figured out most of my details, so I can't give up this legendary mission. I must go with Lucina to ensure her safety...
Why not just tell her about the Dragon Diamond and let her see it. Maybe she can get some information about the whereabouts of the real Dragon Diamond...
Lucina took the dragon diamond, looked at it carefully, then took out five dragon diamonds from the space ring and asked, "Are you talking about this?"
What the hell! ?
She has it! ?
Doesn’t that mean our mining is stable?
Zhang Yun's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Yes! That's it! Where did you get it from?
Lucina shook her head, "I don't know."
what?
You had five dragon diamonds on you, but you told me you didn't know where they came from?
Lucina explained, "This was a gift from the messenger of the Divine Life Cult on my eighteenth birthday. They said it was a sacred stone bestowed by the gods on mortals, and it could protect my safety... I had never seen any record of it in ancient books, so I was deeply impressed and kept it with me all the time."
Zhang Yun asked: "Didn't you ask the person who sent you there?"
Lucina replied, "I asked him, and he only said that these five stones came from heaven."
"In the sky?"
Lucina nodded. "Yes, in addition to that, I also asked some friends in the church. They are not low-ranking in the church, but they know nothing about this stone and have never even seen this kind of stone!"
Zhang Yun frowned: "High-level secret?"
"Um."
Lucina lifted her hair and nodded, indicating that Zhang Yun's guess was correct.
After a pause, she looked at Zhang Yun and asked, "I have studied these five stones. Although they look extraordinary, there is no energy in them. No matter whether it is magic or special secret techniques, they cannot cause any reaction... I am curious, what do you want these stones for? Can you tell me?"
“…”
Zhang Yun remained silent.
With such a cold reaction, Lucina immediately understood what Zhang Yun meant, so she decisively changed the subject and did not continue asking questions.
She said, "Although I don't know where to find this kind of stone, I know where the people in the Shensheng Sect who know the origin of the stone are. I can take you to find them!"
Go directly to the person who sent the dragon diamond?
That's fine...
But Agito is now all over the kingdom, and everyone could be one of them. Lucina, is it really okay for you to go to that Divine Life Cult so brazenly?
As if she knew what Zhang Yun was thinking, Lucina explained, "Although the followers of the Divine Life Cult are spread all over the continent, their temple is only built in the great desert leading to the east . That is their origin point and also the pilgrimage site for all the followers."
"The capital is now controlled by Ajid, and many officials have defected to the enemy. I can't defeat them here. I have no choice but to head east to seek help from our ally, the Great Xia Dynasty."
"There are two ways to get there. One is to take the long route by water, and the other is to cross the desert, pass through the holy city of the Shensheng Cult, and finally reach the territory in the east."
"According to the information I obtained in the palace, Ajid should not have extended his hand that far, otherwise his movements would definitely not be so small, for fear of being discovered by others..."
"Moreover, the Shinsei Cult has been fighting against monsters for many years and is very sensitive to evil things. In addition, there are various strict belief censorship systems, so I think it is unlikely that Ajid's group of monsters will mix in with them..."
After listening, Zhang Yun touched his chin and concluded: "In other words, the territory of the Shensheng Cult should be safe. Can we go there without any worries?"
Lucina nodded: "Yes, if the Shinsei Cult has been infiltrated by Ajid, then there will be no safe place in this world!"
Um……
A bit troublesome...
This church seems to be very powerful...
I'll go ask them about the whereabouts of the Dragon Diamond and see if it's dangerous...
After a pause, Zhang Yun thought of some of the questions and immediately asked Lucina, "According to what you said, the Divine Life Cult is so powerful, and Ajid is a group of beings that have turned into monsters, so they will definitely help us deal with Ajid, right?"
"With their help, we should be able to quickly eliminate Agito from the entire capital and restore your country to normalcy."
"Then you can join forces to conduct a search and eliminate all the Ajids scattered around, and this matter will be resolved once and for all!"
Lucina sighed and shook her head, "I'm... not sure. According to the church's rules, they will not interfere in worldly affairs. They will only eliminate monsters that appear around the world."
"Although Ajid and his men are monsters, they are not demons. According to the church's code of conduct, this is not within their jurisdiction, and they will not send armed forces stationed in various places to gather in the capital."
"Because once they leave their garrison and fail to carry out regular purification, those areas infected by monsters will easily breed a large number of powerful monsters, which will then cause a lot of trouble, resulting in the loss of lives and the fall of the area."
"Moreover, if their armed forces were gathered together, they would form a very large army, enough to rival a kingdom. Therefore, they have been banned by various countries. Unless there is an extremely urgent monster incident that is enough to threaten the world, the church's armed forces stationed in various places must not be mobilized."
"If the church gathers armed forces from all over the world without the consent of all countries, it will be regarded as a provocation and declaration of war against all countries and local lords."
"So, even if they are willing to help us, they can only mobilize a few teams of paladins near our capital."
"Now that the capital is under Ajid's control, almost all of the kingdom's troops will be under Ajid's command. With the few paladins in the church, even if they are all high-level professionals, they cannot be a match for the kingdom's army."
"And if they want to mobilize all the paladins, they must negotiate with the lords of each country and region and obtain their permission before they can withdraw the church's armed personnel from their territories."
“This period of time consumes too much time. Unless Ajid and his group take direct action and summon beings like the Ancient Evil God to make the nobles and other kingdoms realize that this group of Ajids is a very dangerous existence, it is possible for the church to transfer all the paladins without obtaining permission…”
Well?
So many things?
However, it is understandable that if the armed forces of the church are simply allowed to gather together, and with the help of various believers, it would be too easy for the Church of the Born of God to occupy a country .
If I were the king, I would also be afraid and would never give them military power.
But monsters from all over the world need to be dealt with, and they are professional monster killers, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to them...
Therefore, each country can only take a compromise approach and give the church the right to form private armies, but they must be recruited in a dispersed manner and cannot be gathered together.
In this case, even if the church has some big conspiracy, it must first find a way to gather the scattered forces.
As soon as they gather soldiers, they will be discovered by the kingdom immediately, and then they will take various measures to nip the church's conspiracy in the bud...
After figuring out the ins and outs of this, Zhang Yun began to think about what Lucina had just said.
After thinking for a moment, he gained a new understanding: "That is to say, if Ajid continues to disguise himself as he is now, even if the Shinsei Cult believes us, confirms the danger of Ajid, and is willing to help us deal with them..."
"They must also find enough evidence and hand it over to the various lords, so that they can confirm the matter before they can let the paladins from various regions leave?"
"And if Ajid deliberately cheated and took the lead in slandering the Shinsei Cult for wanting to rebel."
"Then the Divine Life Cult's recruitment will be suspected by the lords of various places, leading to wars, and the armies of various kingdoms will destroy the scattered paladins?"
Lucina replied helplessly: "Yes..."
Depend on!
What the hell is this?
Such a strong foreign aid is subject to various restrictions?
Zhang Yun quickly asked, "What about the Great Xia Dynasty? They are so far away from here, and there is a big desert in between. How do you plan to get them to help you deal with the group of Ajids hiding in the capital?"
Lucina pondered and said, "I haven't decided yet, but I know all the twelve dragons of the Great Xia Dynasty. Two of them are my personal friends. If I can meet them, I should be able to get the Great Xia Dynasty to help me..."
The Twelve Dragons?
The name sounds a bit cool!
They should be some high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Dynasty, right?
Zhang Yun was very curious and wanted to know more about the so-called Twelve Dragons, but he knew that now was not the time to delve into these trivial matters. The most urgent task was to figure out how to deal with Ajid.
So, Zhang Yun continued to ask: "According to what you said, if Ajid controls most of the officials in the capital, then they should think of you going to the East to ask the Great Xia Dynasty for help, right?"
"Yes," Lucina admitted.
Zhang Yun pondered, "Then, if I were them, I would definitely send people to the Great Xia Dynasty without catching you, just like I said just now, to first discredit your identity and motives, so that the Great Xia Dynasty would not believe you, so as to prevent them from affecting their plans."
“At that time!”
"How do you plan to confront them? Make the people of the Great Xia Dynasty believe you? Instead of believing what Ajid and the others say?"
Hearing Zhang Yun's question, Lucina sighed and said, "You are wrong."
Zhang Yun: “?”
Lucina recalled what the monster had said to her just now, and explained: "Ajid has sent people to the Great Xia Dynasty to be on the safe side, telling them that I was killed by a monster, and then the monster turned into my appearance, and it is very likely to go to the Great Xia Dynasty to deceive them and provoke a war between the two countries..."
Zhang Yun: “???”
Damn?
Are these guys so cautious?
With the elite BOSS Ajid as the main force for capture and the phantom of the ancient battlefield Batadam as a backup, they still think it is not stable enough and want to send people to the Great Xia Dynasty in advance to set a trap?
In that case...
Before she finished speaking, Lucina stared into Zhang Yun's eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes, I suspect they have sent people to the Holy City of the Godly Life Cult to distort my situation and deceive the archbishops of the Godly Life Cult."
"Lest the Divine Life Cult help me deal with them..."
Depend on!
Zhang Yun was suddenly speechless.
If we follow this routine, then no one in this world will help Lucina, right?
This legendary quest says that I have to help Lucina form a "Princess Alliance". Could it be that the alliance is not made up of other people from this world, but the heroes from another world that I summoned?
Isn’t this too fucked up?
At this moment, Lucina suddenly said: "But this possibility is not great. Even if it is possible, they can't deceive the Divine Life Cult."
"Why?"
Lucina explained: "Because I carry a sword, it is the holy sword of our Kingdom of Alberia, and it is also a treasure given by the Divine Life Cult when it crowned my ancestor a long time ago. Only those chosen by it can use it. No other person or creature can control the energy within the holy sword."
"So, as long as the Shinsei Cult sees this sword, they will be able to confirm my identity and believe what I say. They will 100% believe what I say as I hold the holy sword!"
Zhang Yun: “…”
Damn, could you have told me about this in advance I was almost scared to death. I thought it was going to be a hellish start with no friendly forces at all!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun took a breath and continued to ask: "Okay, the Shensheng Cult is fine, but what about the Great Xia Dynasty? How do you plan to deal with Ajid's move?"
"Will the two Twelve Dragons choose to believe you? And convince the others? Let them send troops to help you quell this unrest?"
Lucina said calmly: "Don't worry, I know them well, so it's easy to make them believe me. There are many ways, but I just need to meet them in person."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun was speechless again.
but……
The current situation is that Ajid first sent people to set off smoke bombs, so that the people of the Great Xia Dynasty would be on guard against you...
As long as the smoke bomb is successfully released, the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely not listen to you, and will not let you get close to important figures in their country...
How can you meet them?
How can you make them believe you?
Lucina didn't seem to think about this question, or she already had a solution, so she didn't mention it at all.
She continued to speak to herself: "As for convincing others... With their status in the Twelve Dragons, as long as they confirm the authenticity of my identity, they will definitely be able to convince others and get the Great Xia Dynasty to send troops to help me."
"after all."
"This matter has been linked to the Ancient Evil God."
"Once they know the truth, they will surely understand that this is not just a crisis for our Kingdom of Alberia, but a crisis for the entire world..."
