The Amber Sword - 1368

“Say okay first, you have to listen to my command!” Rutte exhorted again and again.

The little girl nodded quickly like a peck at rice.

“Then where are we going, Mr. Rutte?”

“Don’t worry, I stepped on it early in the morning. There is a bar called Purple Dendrobium near the square. It’s very close to the square, so I can find a lot of news.”

“But Mr. Root, Lord Denuk, the lord of Hadland, issued a prohibition order early in the morning. Before the ritual began, didn’t those bars open their doors?”

“Huh?” Root was stunned. “Is there anything like this?”

Lian nodded solemnly.

“Then what to do? Apart from bars, do those hateful humans like to go anywhere else?”

“The residents of this city are all believers of the sheep-head demon Akentu. They don’t need to drink, but they must attend secret gatherings. I know a place. I’ve been there before. Every Friday, Ah The believers in Kentu will go there to meet, they will pray at the meeting, and then exchange some information.”

“Friday, isn’t that today?”

“Yes, it’s only five o’clock in the afternoon. Akantu’s venom is the burning twilight, and the demons worship the dragon of twilight. Therefore, the secret gathering of its believers is usually held at six o’clock in the afternoon and lasts until the evening. At eight o’clock, we will go now, just in time.”

Lian talked eloquently, as if she knew everything well, although she had only been in Hardland for only a week or two.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Root didn’t realize the difference, and said loudly: “Go, you go and change into the clothes of the Goat Head Cultist, we will set off right away!”

The little girl smiled and nodded happily.

…

“Secret party?”

Brando, Huang Huo, and Mr. Liu are walking on one of the streets of Hadran. Magdal and Delphine are standing together, curiously admiring the architecture and customs of the northern part of the Dead Moon Inner Sea. The man hung at the back of the line, squinting under his hood, looking at the sheep head cultists who were almost dressed up with them.

After hearing Delphine’s words, Huang Huo turned his head and asked curiously. The prime minister’s daughter nodded, her gaze swept across the sheep head cultists rushing in one direction on the street, and she whispered:

“The secret gathering is a specific ceremony for the Goathead Cultists. The Goathead Cultists are the followers of the Lord of Purgatory, Akantu. As a believer of the devil, the secret gathering is an indispensable and important ceremony. Thinking is the same as praying in the morning and evening every day. As long as the devout believers will participate, the devotees are generally fanatics, and they will not be absent. Akentu only requires its believers to hold a ceremony once a week. It will give strength to its most trusted servant during the ceremony. This day is chosen as Friday, because Friday is the most powerful day of all moons. Moonlight will obscure Martha’s power, and Akantu’s honor is “Burning Twilight”, so the ceremony usually starts at six o’clock in the evening.”

“Isn’t that now?” Huang Huo looked at the sheep head followers and understood: “So they are…?”

Delphine nodded and cast his gaze on Brando.

And Brando was frowning, he was not Phoenix Fire, and he didn’t fully understand the traditions and rules of some cultists in Warend. With the experience of the previous life, he knows all these mice living under the order of the world. What Delphine said is just the tip of the iceberg of the secret church of Akantu.

What made him feel a little troublesome was that they were out of luck and happened to ran into a nearby’secret’ meeting point for Akantu believers. If possible, Brando would not want to waste time here, but the problem is that they are right now. I am dressing up as a Goathead Christian, if I don’t go, I’m afraid it will arouse suspicion.

“Then are we going to participate, too?” Huang Huo asked again.

“I am afraid we have to go, otherwise it will be too conspicuous,” Delphine added: “Furthermore, the secret gathering of the Akantu believers is also a channel for them to exchange information with each other.”

Brando nodded, and now it seems that they can only hope that they can get some useful news at this secret gathering.

Mr. Liu and Princess Magdal had no objection to this. In the case of a minority obeying the majority, Fang Qi understood that even if he had an opinion, it would be useless, so he shrugged and followed.

The few people were originally dressed as sheep-head believers, and now they are advancing in the direction of the believers. Although they are carrying a child (Huang Huo), they don’t seem to be too eye-catching. After all, Hadran is a city where the Goathead believers live together. It is normal for a family of three from old to young to believe in Akantu. Therefore, there is nothing notable that the believers go to the secret gathering with their families.

In fact, Brando saw several short figures, some walking with adults, some even alone.

There was even a little girl who nearly hit him with her head buried in her head. She raised her head and said sorry to him. Brando couldn’t help but see that the little girl was wearing a pair of glasses with a gentle look. Secretly cried out that it was a pity, I thought so much that a little girl had been poisoned by a cult.

However, he was a little surprised by how polite a Goat Head Cultist was. Most of the Goat Head Cultists they encountered along the way were vulgar lower-class people. They had no education and had a difficult life. Otherwise, they would not. Will be so easy to be deceived.

But because of this, Brando felt even more pity in his heart, and the hatred in his heart for the Goat Head Cultists was inexplicably thick. If he had a chance, he would not let it continue to spread on this land. .

But what Brando didn’t know was that the little girl who was “bewitched” by the cult in his eyes was so scared that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

As she hurried forward, she kept looking back in the direction of the’Goathead Cultist’ whom she had almost collided with earlier, as if she was afraid that the other party would suddenly come up and pull her out of the crowd.

“I told you to be more careful.” Root was hiding in the little girl’s hood, sitting on her shoulders, and grumbled dissatisfiedly: “Fortunately, it didn’t attract the attention of that guy, but it’s strange, how do I feel his voice So familiar?”

Lian stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and whispered, “I’m sorry, I’m too nervous.”

But in her mind, the previous crisis was actually very different from the little goblin’s view. What really scared her to death was not because she almost ran into the cultist.

Although Akantu’s followers are fierce and combative, they will not easily make trouble at this important time. This is like saying that believers in the Temple of Flame will not fight with other church members on the way to prayer and meditation. If the assembly is destroyed, once Akantu is angry, I am afraid that the miserable end will not be a dead word. It can be easily described.

But what really disturbed Lian was her small mistake. When she ran into the opponent, she unconsciously blurted out and said sorry. When will the followers of Akantu be so timid and talkative? Fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to be aware of this, but rather said to her very gently: It’s okay, be careful next time.

This sentence made Lian’s heart pounding, because she understood that among the believers present, those who were really threatening to herself and Mr. Rut were not actually those vulgar lower-class believers. It is those highly educated and thoughtful high-ranking priests and even demon censors. If those people find out that she is posing as a believer, she will be peeled off if she is not dead.

Different from Ruth’s carelessness, Brando’s polite answer just now almost made her hair stand up, but what made her a little bit incredulous was that the other party had let her go that way.

This is so strange that it makes her feel a little unreal now.

In this way, with the doubts and anxiety in her heart, the little girl absently followed the flow of people into a church-like building.

“This is…” Brando raised his head and glanced at the place in surprise when he was standing in front of the door of this church: “A temple?”

“Cultists openly use a temple as their secret meeting point?” Princess Magdal also showed a look of disbelief, the feeling is like seeing her in Amperexel or Rustha in the Sage of Flames. The prayers in the temple were not the believers of Jinyan Tao, but a group of members or tree shepherds: “They…they are simply too…”

“It seems that what Queen Madara said is true. These people have already regarded this place as their place. Not only can the doctrines of the Goat Head Christians be publicly spread, but they have also created such a’church’?” Lando couldn’t help but shook his head: “They completely disseminated the doctrine of the head of the sheep as the orthodox faith. It seems that the situation is a bit bad.”

Both Delphine and Magdal understand that Brando’s unfavorable situation means that it seems that the Goathead believers have learned that the Black Rose of Bromanto may move north, so that Tauchik will never again. Will return to the rule of the Mercury Rod, so the Hadran family dare to be so confident, otherwise these dark nobles must at least maintain the necessary deference to Madara.

But the undead gave up the land of eternal death and migrated northward. It was something that happened before they left. It is unlikely that it will be spread to Taukeqi at this time. Then it can only show one possibility, that is, these sheep head believers are in secret. Has been in contact with the twilight minions.

As for whether the opponent is a devil or something else, it’s a bit difficult to say.

After everyone at the scene exchanged this opinion secretly, their faces were a bit unsightly for a while. Brando had a faint hunch in his heart, I’m afraid this trip will be another sideline.
