Chapter 524 Confiscation of the dead town

“It’s a really broad stage.”

Slaier stood on a hillside, looking at the Kingdom of Karrond from a distance.

He saw the death of Kafu VI in his eyes.

To be honest, I am partly responsible for the death of Kraft VI.

If it weren't for his appearance in the Helong Mountains, incarnation as a wish-making sage, and finally alerting Maxwell, Kraft VI might not have ended up defeated in the end.

Slaier's idea is not an exaggeration.

If Maxwell had not actively prepared for the war in advance, let alone understood the changes in the dwarves, he would have been caught even more unprepared and returned in defeat. Even if he left the Helong Mountains alive and went to the royal city, he would not have been able to survive. He will gain the trust of the Golan people, become the regent, and organize the Golan people to resist the conquest and invasion of Carlond.

Slaier's actions were like a little butterfly flapping its wings.

"But even without me, even if Golan is conquered, the dwarves are destined not to build a huge empire."

Historical events are full of chance, but historical trends are inevitable.

As a god, Slaier knew that the dwarves did not have the ability to build a huge empire. Those little things who were one body shorter than humans could not even break the clan barriers, so how could they unify the dwarf countries? ?
What's more, the gods headed by the God of Dreams are hidden behind the scenes and control the direction of this kingdom.

"Speaking of which, Laren and the others may have noticed me. Tsk, tsk, this is not a good sign."

Slaier said to himself.

This god of lies and tricks does not belong to any sect of gods, and he has no intention of destroying the layouts and plans of other gods.

However, He has His own layout and plans, and He doesn't mind destroying the layouts and plans of other gods as long as it can help His own plans.

Take, for example, the matter of alerting Maxwell.

The reason why Slaier is like this is because the stage he wants to build is relatively small. If Kafu VI involves more countries into chaos, it will not be conducive to the implementation of his plan.

And His plan is neither simple nor complex.

There is only one theme:
Forfeiture of death.

"Karlund is going to have a civil war. Many cities have already begun to become chaotic and restless."

Slaier carefully looked at the gradually chaotic kingdom in front of him.
"Well...it's time to choose a spokesperson like other gods."

After finishing speaking, the God of Lies and Trickery set his sights on a figure who had been paying attention to him for a long time.

It was a little boy.

.......................................

Karad City, the fifth largest coal city in Karrond, has been in shock due to the death of the king in recent days.

The turmoil in this city came much earlier and on a larger scale than other cities. This is because Karad City is a city directly under the jurisdiction of the king himself, and the citizens are far more loyal to the royal family than in other parts of the kingdom. .

The streets and alleys are basically talking about the king's death, even though Allaire and others have posted notices on the city's bulletin boards, which explain the various sins of Kraft VI, the failure of the war, the tyrant's concealment, and demand that Kaif Rad City unconditionally surrendered to their jurisdiction... However, the citizens of Kalad City obviously did not accept this trick. They were convinced that this was an out-and-out conspiracy. The glory of Heris really conquered Golan. But the conspirators headed by Allaire assassinated the great Kraft VI.

True and false news were mixed among the dwarves of Karad City. Under the chaotic situation, murders, robberies, thefts, rapes and other evil deeds occurred frequently. The death of the king caused the city to suddenly lose its backbone.

Slaier favors such a chaotic environment, and only such an environment is the most suitable soil for lies and tricks to breed.

The spokesperson chosen by Slaier was a little boy who was only over ten years old.

This little boy is named Vali, and he is not a believer in Slaier. He is a pure dwarf boy. Just like other dwarf boys, he believes in the traditional beliefs of dwarves and dreams of becoming an excellent craftsman and forging world-famous products. The magic weapon.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about this boy.

The reason why Slaier chose this seemingly ordinary little boy was because he often lied and... was very good at lying.

For many children at this age, their lies cannot stand up to scrutiny. After a little questioning and looking for some clues, the lies will be revealed.

The reason is that their lies are so unrealistic that they are outright lies.

Wally is different. His lies are often half-truths and half-truths. Sometimes, they can even be interpreted as looking at different aspects of things.

Sleah, master of lies and deceit, knows,
It is difficult to make people believe a complete lie, but it is easy to make people believe a lie mixed with the truth.

Vali is obviously very talented in this area. In Slaier's view, his future is simply boring and promising.

So, Slaier appeared alone in front of Vali when night fell.

This self-proclaimed honest god revealed his identity as soon as he came up.

"You, you, are you really Slyer? The patron saint of liars, thieves, and conspirators?"

Vali said in astonishment.

"Still the protector of children who love to lie."

Slaier added.

Wally showed great panic.

After all, Slaier's reputation in the mortal world has always been very bad.

There are many gods in the celestial kingdom. Some gods are very popular among mortals, such as Heris, Leondeos, Sibos, Angelil, etc., while some gods are not taken seriously, such as the candle god. , the God of Hidden Things, some gods are hated by people, such as the former God of War, who plays a villain role in the scriptures of many faiths, and the God of Death, Nakbet, because he means death and plague. God, insect god, etc.

Slae, on the other hand, is often classified as a detested god.

Facing Vali, Slaier openly revealed his identity and told him that he would choose him to be the spokesperson of lies and tricks.

Vali was extremely scared. Although this dwarf boy loved to lie, he did not want to be related to a notorious god.

Seeing this, Slaier threatened him,

"Since you reject me, I will make you unable to taste 'sweet' for the rest of your life until you regret it."

Faced with Slaier's threat, Vali didn't pay much attention at first. He felt that being unable to taste "sweetness" was no big deal compared to becoming the spokesperson of a notorious god. But when this situation continued After a month, Vali couldn't stand it anymore.

Not being able to taste "sweetness" is so painful for a child.

Those watery fruits, no matter how much you eat, are only sour but not sweet. Those sweet honeys, no matter how much you eat, are like eating melted candles.

Vali went back on his word, agreeing to become Slaer's spokesman and serve as the scheming god's advocate.

"So...wise Slyah...what is your plan?" Vali asked cautiously,
"Confiscating death...what exactly are you going to do?"

Slaier pointed to the city of Karad in front of him,
“So many people die here every day.

Many people are terrified, fearing that death will come to them.

There is no doubt that this is one of our stages. "

Vali didn't understand.

Just listen to Slaier's words:
"You might as well think about a question,
If a group of living people thought they were dead, would they still die?

In other words, can they tell the difference between life and death? "

Vali was a little confused when he heard it. He seemed half-understanding, so he asked:

"In other words, we want a group of living people to think they are dead?"

Slaier clapped his hands and said:

"Yes, that's exactly it. I will simulate and construct an afterlife world, and you are responsible for acting as the guide of the afterlife. You must try your best to make the living people believe that they are really dead."

Vali suddenly realized that this was what Slaier called "death by confiscation."

The little boy couldn't help thinking at this time, if these living people really believed that they were dead, what if someone suddenly told them that they were actually still alive?
In that case, what exactly will happen?
Does death mean anything to them?

Slaier looked at Wally who was deep in thought, and nodded approvingly as if he had seen through the boy's thoughts. He was indeed the spokesperson he had chosen.

What Vali is thinking about is part of what Slaier wants to pursue, and what Slaier wants to pursue is deeper than what Vali thinks, and the stage he wants is bigger.

After choosing his spokesperson, Slaier set about taking action.

As Slaier had seen before, the city of Karad was in great shock due to the death of the king. Under the disintegration of order, death was happening every moment.

The citizens in the city don't know when it will be their turn to die.

In this case, missing dozens or even hundreds of people may not necessarily attract much attention.

For Slayer, the chaotic situation was like a duck to water.

He gave Vali the grace of lies and deceit, allowing him to use his divine power to deceive one dwarf after another that they were dead.

The first few times were not smooth, but after Valli, who was good at lying, overcame the moral and spiritual obstacles, he achieved success one after another.

He usually plans how to lie during the day, and waits until late at night when everyone is asleep before starting to act. He plans reasonable and different lies for each different citizen.

When these citizens get together and discover that they died in different ways, their last doubts will be dispelled and they will have to accept the "fact" that they have died.

And Slaier, the god of lies and tricks, created an afterlife town in the mountains not far from Karad City.

Vali led the deceived citizens into the mountains and told them that the judges of the underworld had judged their sins and allowed them to settle down in this afterlife.

The afterlife town created by Slaier is extremely realistic, derived from his experience as a judge in the underworld.

When the deceived citizens come to the town one by one, they will find that the scene in front of them is roughly consistent with the myths and legends they have heard, and they will become convinced of the "fact" of their death.

“How immersive.”

Watching each living person being guided to the town after death, Slaier admired his creation with satisfaction.
"A fictional world brings fictional death."

Wally was a little panicked;

"What if one of them suddenly discovers the truth?"

Slaier joked:
"If one person discovers the truth, then that person is a madman. If a group of people discover the truth, then it is a rumor. When most people find out, it will become the truth."

Vali thought for a moment and found that Slaier made sense.

And he looked up and down at the afterlife town in front of him, and found that there were too many details to be imagined.

For example, after death, the soul is often in a state, and the five senses of the body will slowly disappear, but Slaier used divine power to suppress the senses of those living people, striving to provide them with a true afterlife experience.

For another example, in myths and legends, the underworld is dark and dim, but Slaier constructed a giant screen to cover the sky and decorated various skeletons throughout the town.

In addition, Slaier also created some other scenes of the underworld around the town, so that people who doubt that they are not dead will believe that this is the underworld after leaving the town.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the God of Lies and Trickery also asked his few followers to travel across mountains and rivers to this remote area to play the roles of guards, jailers, etc. in the underworld.

"These living people should be grateful, this is like playing a game, a big role-playing game."

Slaier raised his hands in the air and cheered uncontrollably,

"Who else could provide a game like this but me?!"

Vali echoed from the side,
"Yes, no one can offer such a great game except you."

.............................................

.............................................

The living people who were brought into the afterlife town were not limited to dwarves. Under Vali's guidance, some humans, three-eyed apes, orcs and other races living in Karad City were also involved.

People of different races will be brought into this false "underworld", not to mention those of different faiths.

Soon after, the dwarf Verdo was about to be taken into the afterlife town by Vali.

It is said that Verdot and his sect, after parting ways with Zealand, continued their life of traveling preaching in Carlond.

They discovered that not only did Karl Lund become calmer after they left, but he became even more chaotic than before.

As Kraft VI expanded externally, the chaotic situation collapsed into the joy of victory.

But just when Verdo and others thought that the good day for preaching had finally arrived.

The death of Kafu VI suddenly spread throughout the kingdom, and the chaos that had been suppressed by victory broke out again.

So, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Verdo and others came to Karad City.
