Chapter 597 changed the future?
The drow stared at Iden, and Iden stared back at him.

The putrid battlefield suddenly became murderous again, jackdaws danced wildly in the air, and gray-black feathers fell one after another.

Both sides seemed to be hesitating, as if they would fight each other if there was any change. This was undoubtedly a coward's game.

After a long time, Eden took the lead and said:

"Who are you? Are you here to take care of the battlefield too?"

After hearing this, the drow nodded after a moment of hesitation.

It seems that the other party is not hostile, but just wary.

Eden judged in his mind.

He looked around and saw that there were not many clues in the battlefield at his feet, so he continued:

"Put down your bows and arrows. We have no need to hurt each other."

When the drow heard this, he lowered his bow slightly, but not completely.

"There is no more loot here, and I can't find anything more."

Eden paused and said slowly:
"Now I just want to find a place with people to stay before dark. If possible, can you show me the way?"

This time the drow pointed a direction without hesitation.

That's the southwest.

Eden nodded slightly, turned around, and left the ruined battlefield.

The drow silently watched his back, raising and lowering the bow and arrow in his hand.

After a while, the drow muttered to himself:
"It's strange...there are true believers in this place."

He could tell by Eden's clothing.

After the drow pointed out the direction, Iden kept walking in that direction for nearly half a day. It was already afternoon. Just when he thought the drow was deceiving him, the high wall of a large city appeared on the horizon. A corner.

Eden lowered his head slightly, remembering something. He randomly found a forest, took off his distinctive coat of the true believer, folded it in his hands, and then approached the city gate. At this time, a caravan happened to be there. Entering the city, Iden seized the opportunity and blended into the team of servants. The guards did not notice that there was an extra person in the caravan. In this way, Iden blended into the city smoothly.

As soon as he entered the city, Eden saw the Lecture Hall in the distance.

There is no doubt that this is a pagan city. He looked around carefully and could not see any true churches.

This place, in his own world, should be the frontier of the Deschanel Empire. The empire regards True Religion as its state religion, but there is not a single church to be seen here.

It is not difficult to guess that under the temper of time, the southern border of the empire will inevitably shrink back, and in the process, those pagan countries gnawed off piece after piece of flesh and blood from the empire, and tried their best to erase the true religion. trace.

"You can't be as impulsive as before."

Eden told himself,
"Be careful, be patient, and get more information."

The pagan religion that believes in new gods, the stone pendant in his chest, the strange time and space...all kinds of mysteries linger in front of him, and the priest understands that anger cannot solve any problems.

"First of all, we need to figure out how far into the future this point in time is."

Eden said in his heart.

Since priests often bear the responsibility of recording history, the best way to find out the time is to go to a pagan lecture hall.

After making the decision, Eden immediately took action and headed towards the Lecture Hall of the Giant King Sect without stopping.

Along the way, he saw old people, young people, men, women, and all kinds of people gathering towards the Lecture Hall. Like true religion, paganism also has rituals similar to evening prayers.

Eden successfully blended into the crowd of people listening to the scriptures and praying. Due to the large number of people, not everyone had the opportunity to enter the lecture hall. The priest spent a lot of effort to get through the layers of people. Squeezed in.

Arriving inside the lecture hall, Eden let out a deep breath. He looked around the field, and then stared at the deacon who was maintaining order.

"Priest, tell me... how far away is it from Silan, the prophet of the true religion, when the King of Kings comes?"

After Eden hesitated for a moment, he pretended to be humble and asked for advice.

The deacon didn't seem to have any doubts. There were too many people and he didn't have time to doubt, so he subconsciously answered:

"About, about 300 years."

After Eden heard this, his heart stirred up, but his face remained calm.

So this is... the future 300 years later?
no wonder... no wonder...

Over the past 4000 years, the changes and vicissitudes of life have been enough to eliminate all traces of true religion in this city.

Eden thought this and stood back to his position. After a while, the chief priest of the pagan lecture hall appeared in front of everyone. The noisy lecture hall suddenly fell silent. The believers lowered their heads and became quiet. Listen quietly to the scriptures.

"All believers, before I preach, I want you to listen to a verse. If you understand it, you will understand the scripture."

After the chief priest said this, the two assistant priests stood up.

I saw them clearing their throats and reciting:
"If one day disaster strikes, everyone will be in despair.

People are tired, hopeless, and tortured by others.

Only the righteous are not weary, have hope, and are willing to sink into the lake of death. "

A short poem was recited, and Eden observed that everyone present nodded. This poem seemed to be very famous. Everyone knew its origin and who the righteous person in the poem refers to.

"This is how the same thing…"

Eden thought so and nodded solemnly.

After the poem ended, the officiant began to preach. The passage he spoke had an extraordinary connection with the poem.

"'I saw that he appeared to be a righteous man, so I tested him with fire.'

You see, disaster is bound to come. Who has lived for so many years without encountering any disaster?Whether it is a major disaster or a minor disaster, it is still a disaster.

The King of kings tests us by this. He wants to find out whether we are clay or pure gold. When ordinary people see disaster coming, they panic and live in panic. But how can fear prevent disaster?
But the righteous man is different. When he sees the disaster, he is not tired, has hope, and is willing to sink into the lake of death.This is the act of a righteous man, and that is why the actions of a righteous man are always accompanied by power and signs. "

Eden observed that everyone in the venue was aroused by these words and became curious. They couldn't help but raise their heads and look towards the officiant.

Powers and signs…

As a priest, Eden knew that the words of the officiant contained many words commonly used by true religious priests in their sermons.

Although pagans despise true believers, they have inherited many of their characteristics. All kinds of clues show that the two are inextricably linked.

“A righteous person is regardless of gender, race, or origin. You may want to ask what the power and signs are. Take the righteous man in the poem as an example. We are discriminated against by many humans, yes, that is the race that our ancestors were particularly discriminatory against."

The officiant was good at tempting people and kept raising people's curiosity. This was undoubtedly an excellent sermon. Eden noticed that the name of the righteous man was almost on everyone's lips.

Eden looked serious and listened carefully.

"I believe everyone knows that the righteous man's name is Timian."

Eden was stunned for a moment.

Everyone on the field nodded. Under the guidance of the chief priest, they couldn't help but excitedly recited the hymn. The lecture hall instantly fell into the ocean of faith.

Eden's lips trembled and her hands trembled.

Maybe... maybe it's just the same name.

Thinking this, Eden calmed down a little,
It can't be such a coincidence...

As soon as the words finished in his heart, the officiant raised his hand and said in a revealing tone:
“The power and the signs, the righteous man who was alone in his torment found the power and the signs which the King of kings had ordained.

Do you understand that an unknown person, whom you have never met before, comes forward in front of everyone to feed and wash the righteous people?

This is so ordinary, so insignificant, yet this is power and sign! "

The officiant declared loudly, and the believers on the field burst into cheers. Praises, prayers, and chants of scriptures came and went in an instant. The enthusiasm of faith was filled and boiling.

In the sea-like sound, only Eden stood blankly, like a puppet, with a surprised and strange expression on his face, and he clapped his hands along with the others.

After a long time, amid the overwhelming sounds, Eden finally came back to his senses and murmured in disbelief:

"I-I...changed the future?!"

In the boiling sea of ​​people, no one heard this small voice.

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

Eden slowly recovered. At this time, the officiant's sermon had ended, and people were praying in unison.

The priest took a breath and slowly walked out of the lectern when no one was paying attention. When he was on the steps, his legs and feet were unstable and he almost fell.

"What's going on, what's going on..."

No matter how he thought about it, Eden found it incredible.

Who could have imagined that his unintentional act of mercy would bring a well-known poem to paganism, which would be quoted by pagan priests to explain scriptures and become part of the myths and legends.

Thinking of this, Eden's first reaction was not excitement, but unspeakable guilt.

"Lord, forgive me."

As he muttered like this, Eden suddenly asked himself,
"Forgive, forgive me for what?

I...did I do something wrong? I just had mercy on him. Isn't mercy a virtue in the scriptures? Isn't it God's will? "

Thinking of this, Eden's guilt was eliminated. He turned his head and stared at the pagan lecture hall.

It is necessary for me to...re-examine and plan.
