Alien Paradise.

Chapter 429 The Last Believer
……

Due to Dann's evacuation, Chaoyang learned the news that the army from the Mountains appeared in the royal city three days later.

He immediately summoned Xue Quan and informed him of the news. Xue Quan was also greatly surprised. According to the intelligence at hand, it was reasonable for them to adopt a defensive strategy for Zhaixing City, and it would be extremely disadvantageous to attack, especially if they attacked the Royal City alone without notifying the Paradise Church.

Recalling that Duke Long Jiu was protected by many experts but still died from the attack of the Flower Sword Mekfa, Xue Quan made a bold hypothesis, "Could it be that they have surrendered to the evil god?"

"The gods won't give them power!" Shi Yin said disdainfully while lying on the desk. "No matter how much they pray, they won't get a response from the gods. In the final analysis, it's just some idiots who think the anomaly caused by the gods being too close is some kind of revelation. It's just wishful thinking on their part."

"But the evil god's messenger and Count Li Qian who appeared earlier seem to be quite capable."

"Aren't you also quite capable? Same reason." Shi Yin patted her round belly. "By chance, you stole the great branch of the God of Karma... that is, me, and also obtained a part of the authority of Wei Mi. What does this have to do with whether you are a believer of the first gods? However, some people regard themselves as the son of destiny because of this, hoping to further gain the favor of the gods."

"What if Star-Picking City also gets such an opportunity?"

"That's another story. Anyway, what I want to say is that the gods will not be easily summoned, and once they appear, the price humans will pay is incalculable. Since Zhaixing City still has the energy to attack the Longjiu family, this speculation is unlikely to come true."

Too……

If the entire region really believes in the evil god, this influence will surely bring about the evil god's arrival, and by then it will be questionable how many people in the north can survive.

"The evil god is unlikely, but the first-class wonders and the later gods can be considered." Chaoyang said. Both of them are things that can change the balance of power. "It would be great if we could get real-time information about the capital and the mountains."

"If you want a reconnaissance fleet, this is not a problem." Xue Quan took the initiative to agree without waiting for him to ask, "I will go to my superiors to apply, and a reconnaissance fleet should be dispatched tomorrow. However, the plane can only overlook from the air and cannot inquire about the details on the ground. In terms of collecting intelligence, there may be more convenient options than planes."

"Oh, what is it?"

"The followers of God." He said bluntly, "Of course not the followers of Paradise Cult... I mean, Kokomochi and the God of the Hidden Mist should have their own followers hiding in the capital and the mountains, right?"

……

The summoned Kokomochi seemed to be a little rounder - although gods eat only to satisfy their appetite, this happiness will also be reflected in their fictional bodies. Recently, the magic goddess has been staying in the transfer station almost all the time, either playing games or watching movies, and she is so happy that she looks at Chaoyang with a little more appreciation and love in her eyes.

"Just tell me what you want me to do. As long as I can do it, I can satisfy you."

Chaoyang briefly recounted what happened in the royal capital.

"Duke Longjiu is dead?" Kokomo was also shocked after hearing this. "Wait... something is wrong. I didn't feel the death of the God of All Things. Logically speaking, if the god is still alive, he will definitely protect his favored ones. How could he let Makefa succeed so easily?"

"I will ask the God of Hidden Mist to contact the Royal City. Can you contact the believers in the mountains and ask about the situation in Star-Picking City?" Chaoyang said, "I will replenish the consumed willpower."

"That's not a big problem. Water divination doesn't consume much energy."

Kokomochi fetched a basin of water, closed her eyes, and began to perform magic.

After a moment, she opened her eyes with a look of surprise and a hint of disappointment in her brows. "Lalot Guinness is dead."

Who?
Chaoyang was stunned for a moment before he remembered this person.

An ancient family that believed in the goddess of magic. The current head of the family was also the political assistant to the lord of Zhaixing City. It seemed that he was the one that Kokomochi contacted during the water divination last time.

"Dead?" "Yes, I left a magic mark on him. Even if he doesn't have water, he can respond to my call." She nodded. "If there is no message at all, then he should be dead."

At this point, Kokomochi chuckled softly, "But considering his status, he should die peacefully. The longer a god lives, the harder it is to avoid such a situation... It's okay, I can still contact his children or other believers, just wait for me for a moment."

She is not as indifferent as she looks, Chaoyang thought.

It is true that many believers with names will die, but she has not lacked believers in the past three hundred or four hundred years. It is different from the situation now, where there are only one or two people whose names can be called out... At this time, the believers may have become existences similar to Xiaoyou.

"How did you die?"

"I don't know... Water divination can't see this. Do you think all gods contact their believers in a simple way like you do?" Kokomochi curled her lips. "Maybe he died of old age, or maybe he was old and accidentally slipped while walking. The temperature is low in the mountains, and falling to death is not uncommon. Anyway... I'll try to contact Little Guinness first."

This time the water divination took quite a long time.

The clear water in the basin finally began to ripple.

"He responded." The Magic Goddess opened her eyes, "I didn't leave him a mark, so he has to find water to respond."

The ripples became more and more violent, and then condensed into a small line of bright red words.

"Is that you? Please save me, goddess!"

Then the characters disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of blood in the water.

Chaoyang frowned, "What's going on?" He had seen the other party use water divination before, and the words were quite normal...but this was the first time he saw red text.

Kokomochi murmured, "He couldn't find any water... so he answered with blood."

Chaoyang immediately realized that the Guinness family was in trouble, and Lalot's death was probably not an accident.

"It seems that this person doesn't work. I'll change to another one." Kokomochi shook her head and was about to pour out the water and replace it with a new one, but Chaoyang stopped her.

"Aren't you going to rescue him?"

"What?" The Magic Goddess reacted after a moment. "No, doing so will definitely lose my power. Besides, gods should not be too close to the world, and should not easily interfere with their fate. You should know that we are protecting the human group, not a single individual. In the past nine hundred years, I have seen many such things..."

"Nine hundred years is nine hundred years, and now is now." Chaoyang interrupted her and said, "You should have known the Guinness family a long time ago... Other families that believed in magic disappeared one by one, and now there is only this one left, and the significance of the last one is almost the same as the first one. If you choose to let go now, will you really not regret it in the future?"

Kokomochi opened her mouth but didn't answer immediately.

"Of course... I don't necessarily want you to go. I'm just giving you a suggestion. You are free to do whatever you want." He continued, "But if you decide to save him, Paradise Church will be your strongest backing, and I will also help you to the end as a friend."

Kokomochi was silent for a moment and then looked towards Chaoyang. The melancholy in her eyes faded a little. Then she stretched out her hand, "Maybe I can't save every believer who prays, but I want to find out how Lalot died. Can you help me?"

Chaoyang took the hand she extended and said, "Of course, we will set off today."
