Chapter 809: Snake Transformation II

Arthur thought of another church.

The 'Church of Suffering' of the 'Lady of Suffering'.

Of course!
I think of much more than just the 'suffering church'.

Does 'Blood Drinker' Heber have followers?

Does Imola the Devourer have followers?

some!

As the demigods of that time, even though they have become them, they still have followers.

So, these followers...

It's his!

As the 'reincarnated god' that these demigods once followed, it is reasonable for him, Arthur Kratos, to take the believers of his original followers into his pocket, right?
Of course, they are not the only ones.

There are more 'demigods'!
Arthur's mind was racing.

Although he had a general idea, Arthur knew very well that it was not easy to actually do it.

The most direct point is——

Who is the 'God of Reincarnation'?

This requires a reasonable explanation.

still need……

Be convincing.

It's not just strength, it's also character, or you could say 'authority'.

And for him, the easiest thing is 'death'.

But facing this "death", Arthur still remained vigilant.

At least, he needs to know more before he can make plans.

Otherwise, it will really capsize.

The same goes for 'War'.

There is too little information.

So little that he was almost completely in the dark.

However, this phenomenon will change soon.

because--

Miha and Ilo!
The twins, the former 'ladies of pain' would tell him everything he wanted to know, with skillful communication.

Thinking of this, Arthur took out a book.

"Nanlos Children's Songs".

This is a book of nursery rhymes widely circulated in South Los. It not only collects stories from some remote places, but more importantly, it is compiled into nursery rhymes and widely circulated in South Los.

As for the author?
Hulk.

The master who is known as the God of Potions and the God of Alchemy.

Arthur was not surprised when he first learned this information.

Others may not do the same.

However, considering the character of this master who was able to create the [Stone Bullet Technique] for playing marbles and the [Gliding Technique] for ice skating, it is very likely that he collected nursery rhymes.

As for why?
Of course it’s because of interest.

Whenever he thought of this, Arthur was filled with envy.

He envied this casualness very much.

This is doing things purely out of interest.

Rather than with a purpose.

It’s not about planning.

'When can I achieve this?'

As Arthur thought about this, he took out another notebook and charcoal pencil and began to write and draw.

He was making up his own code book.

Since we are doing a show, we need to do it in its entirety.

Otherwise, Miha and Ilo would probably find out.

Even with the contract, Arthur still habitually positioned the relationship between the two parties in the category of "balance" rather than "slavery".

This is not hypocrisy.

But for...

Get more!

'What a bad guy!'

Arthur thought of Melinda's evaluation of him and immediately laughed, and the speed of the charcoal pencil in his hand became faster and faster.

As daybreak approached, Toland and old Mr. Gwen arrived at the river with a hundred men.

There were traces of dried blood on Tolan's cuffs.

Not much, but enough to show what the high priest had just done.

kill.

In other words, the disloyal ones were eliminated - a test in which old Mr. Gwen was the 'interviewer' and Tolan was the 'executioner'. Those who passed the test appeared here.

Failed?
The water in the inland river is enough to cover everything.

No one cared about those who failed.

These hundred people have long been surrounded by fanatical beliefs.

Their eyes were burning, their expressions were crazy, and everyone was praying to the 'God of the Inland River' in a low voice. Seeing this, Arthur nodded slightly.

He straightened his clothes.

In Grindelwald's language, he whispered softly -

“Welcome to all those who have passed the test.

I'm sorry I have to do this.

It is really some of the things that happened in the past that have taught us painful lessons.”

After saying this, Grindelwald took off his hat, revealing his pale hair and face, with a hint of compassion on his expression.

“The existence of testing itself is necessary.”

Old Mr. Gwen spoke the proverbs of Nanlos.

"Those who cannot pass the test are unworthy of receiving His Majesty's grace.

them……

Damn it! "

Tolan was much more direct.

Moreover, when he said this, the fanaticism and murderous intent in Tolan's eyes boiled together, that was... anger - it was obvious that some of the people who had failed before were beyond Tolan's expectations.

In fact, the same is true.

Tolan really wanted to go back and chop those guys up again.

Those guys he used to think were extremely pious were actually just pretenders.

Those guys' devotion to His Majesty was actually just for...

Get rich!

Thinking back to how those guys tried to bribe him with gold coins before they died, Tolan felt extremely disgusted.

'Luckily Grindelwald suggested this test!

Otherwise, it would be a disaster! '

When Tolan thought about how he was reluctant before, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Once again, the young high priest realized his own shortcomings.

but,
He will change!
I will work hard to become a qualified high priest of the church!
All for...

Your Majesty!

Tolan's eyes showed determination.

That kind of piety made Grindelwald nod slightly.

This is what he wants.

It is also something that Tolan must possess.

Then, the leader of the [Black Cat Clan] looked at the people around him. He tried his best to remember everyone's face. Then, he tapped the stone he had just sat on with his cane.

Snapped!
The wooden canes and stones made a unique sound.

Then, Grindelwald sang in a long voice -

"An eternal monster, heir to a rebellious bloodline, creator of Ragnarok, fearer of the northern gods, ruler of the Chaos Blade, owner of the Leviathan Axe, Kratos calls out to his former followers..."

The endless chanting sounded like a gentle breeze on your face, or more like the endless flow of the river.

It was the first time for most people present to hear this kind of chanting.

They were all shocked by the prefix 'Kratos'.

This includes Mr. Tolan and Mr. Gwen.

Especially old Mr. Gwen.

This old man who calls himself a 'historian' knows much more than others. He knows about 'Twilight of the Gods' and even more so about 'Northern Gods'!
The term "eternal monster" also appeared once in those big books.

Just once!
The old man confirmed that many people don't even know the word.

After all, he considered himself to be knowledgeable.

Only he who is knowledgeable can know.

remaining people?

It's impossible to know.

But the old man never thought that Arthur had a grandfather who could be called a versatile person.

Mr. Gwen's eyes flickered with preconceived ideas.

The old gentleman noticed the 'follower' once.

Is it...

An idea that made the old man unbelievable came to his mind.

Unable to help it, the old man took a breath of cold air -

hiss!
