The time and place could be confirmed, and the conditions for Hohenheim's spell were also met.

However, the result of performing the technique was a failure.

There are probably two reasons for the failure. One is that someone specially made arrangements to counter divination magic.

The only person in Xian City who knows magic is Osido, but Osido does not have this ability.

The other is that the object of divination prediction involves a higher existence at the conceptual level, so it fails.

Judging from the current situation, it is probably the latter.

Chapter 93 Expulsion

A high-ranking being...a true demon formed.

Kazama thought of the two revelations he experienced at that time. The first time he saw a huge abyss that seemed to be within reach, but absolutely incomprehensible.

The second time, he saw the huge 'karma' entrenched in Xi'an City.

Well, it can be described as 'karma'.

'Karma' comes from Buddhism, and its meaning is very profound and broad. If translated into modern language, "karma" is equivalent to "behavior", as well as the corresponding inertial force and automatic influence on these behaviors generated at the time or later. memory.

The actions of all living things and humans will inevitably produce corresponding inertial forces and memories at that time and in the future. This inertial force is called "karma."

If you do something good, it will produce good effects, which is called "good reward" for short.If you do something bad, it will produce bad effects, which is called "evil retribution" for short.

Kazama recalled what he saw at that time, the countless slaves whining and hating around the White Stone City, plus the uprising launched by the slaves in the city.The destruction of the old order and the continuous accumulation of karma under the old order have converged into a huge cause and effect.

So, is this the reason why Raph became an apostle?

"'Karma' is just a condition. Theoretically speaking, a demon needs a medium to be incarnated, something that the demon can rely on." Hohenheim said again.

If there really is a high-level existence similar to the true devil in this world, then its position must be above the real world.The two parties belong to different dimensions, and the connection between the two dimensions requires a channel.

"The place where Raph became an apostle and gained power is in the spiritual palace used to worship ancestors in the city lord's palace. The medium and possession are likely to be something in the spiritual palace."

After Kazama settled in the city lord's palace, Hohenheim conducted a detailed inspection here, and then arranged several layers of barriers.Any threat on a mystical level is eliminated.No special items were found in the spiritual palace.

"I checked Xi'an's classics, and there are detailed records of all the sacrificial supplies in the temple. Then I found that an item was missing."

"That was something given to Xi'an by the Healing Church 400 years ago."

The Healing Church...the force that rules the healing city of Yharnam.The main reason why Yanan is called the City of Healing comes from this.

It was an extremely low-key city-state, almost living in isolation from the world.It is extremely difficult for outsiders to enter, and those within the city are also prohibited from leaving the city.

In Osido's memory, he was filled with deep fear of that city-state that was full of mystery and confusion.It is almost certain that there is some kind of terrifying supernatural power entrenched in that city-state.

"The Healing City may have a secret medicine formula that allows warriors to complete their baptism. The armed forces they cultivate are 'hunters', and they are all powerful warriors."

400 years ago, the Three Stone City also had bad intentions for the Healing Church that had just entered Slaver's Bay, but even the three companies' alliance suffered a big loss.Therefore, the Healing Church acquiesced in occupying the west side of the bay and building a city there.

The above information was all obtained by Bai Mang from Xi'an, and there is no more detailed information.

"So, do you think the medium that made Raph apostle came from the Healing City?"

"That's right," Hohenheim replied.

Fengjian nodded slightly.

At this point in the investigation of Laffer, the clues have been temporarily interrupted.

The City of Healing is located in the westernmost part of Slaver's Bay, separated from Xian by the two city-states of Bloodstone and Blackstone.If you want to contact them, you can't get around these two city-states.

However, thinking about the limited information about Yanan.Kazama couldn't help but have associations again.

The Healing Church suddenly came to Slaver's Bay 400 years ago. Slaver's Bay was not as prosperous as the mainland and was regarded as a remote and backward place.Why did you suddenly come here to settle down?

Is it because of religious reasons?

On the continent across the sea, as the center of human civilization in this world, religious forces are divided into two.

One is the Dharma King's Hall, a religious country that believes in monotheism, such as the Kingdom of Mitlan and the Kingdom of Yoda, which all belong to this religious circle.The other is the polytheistic Kusha Empire.

The Healing Church came from the east, and the east was the southern border of the Kingdom of Mitland, which happened to be within the religious circle of the King of France.

If it was to avoid religious persecution, moving to this remote place could be explained.

And if it is not for religious reasons, but for coming here with some special purpose.

The only special place in Slaver's Bay is the huge ruins of ancient human civilization behind the Forbidden Land.

"Let's do this for now..."

Thinking of this, Kazama raised his head and said to Hohenheim.

That ruins is indeed a key point, but Kazama still won't excavate that ruins until human theory stabilizes in Slaver's Bay.

If the Healing Church is really related to the ruins, it will definitely be discovered when the time comes to make contact.

...........

Time came to the second day.

Because Kazama had given an ultimatum to the old nobles of Xi'an last night.Today, the old nobles have made their choice.

Of course, choose the second option.

The arrogance cultivated over a long period of time has been deeply imprinted in the bones of the nobles.It is absolutely unacceptable to be placed on an equal footing with the lowly slaves of the past.

There is a habit of intermarriage among the three-stone city, and the status of nobles is also the same. No matter which family they join, they are still nobles and can still look down on the slaves from above.

"Cruel barbarians, greedy robbers..."

The old nobles breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Kazama had indeed expelled them as promised instead of killing them directly.

But thinking that all the wealth he had accumulated over the years in Xi'an City had been plundered, while he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned into extreme resentment.

In their eyes, the lords from the Forbidden Land who occupied Xi'an were already barbarians who were willing to fall into the company of slaves.And confiscating their wealth is the act of greedy robbers.

The old nobles wielded whips to drive the slaves and let the slaves drive the chariots.There is still a certain distance to go to the other two cities, and Fengjian thoughtfully gave carriages to the old nobles.

As for the slaves who drove the chariots, they originally belonged to the level of slaves who managed slaves.Even if Xi'an is liberated and the slaves no longer exist, they are still willing to follow their masters and leave Xi'an.

"We'll be right back..."

After leaving Xi'an, many old nobles thought so when looking at the white city walls.

The cruel and barbaric things that the tyrant who now occupies Xi'an has done to them will be repaid a hundredfold when they return.

Chapter 94 Torch

The 'tyrant' resented by the old nobles of Xi'an, Kazama is currently busy with official duties in the city lord's palace.Spartacus sat opposite him, reporting on the restructuring of the Unsullied Legion.

When the combined Roman legions fought against the Unsullied legions, Kazama had strategic contempt for the Unsullied.An army that fights without knowing why cannot defeat an army that has faith.

In fact, it is not accurate to say this.

It should be——

“Concerning the strength of an army, an army that knows why it fights and is well-trained is invincible; an army that is well-trained but does not know why it fights is the next best thing; an army that knows why it fights but has little training is the third best thing; an army that is neither well-trained nor well-trained is the next best thing. Fighting without knowing why is the next best thing.”

"You are right." Listening to Kazama's words, Spartacus nodded slightly.

Although the Unsullied do not know why they are fighting, they have gone through rigorous training. If not in terms of legion but in terms of individual quality, there is no doubt that the Unsullied are excellent warriors.

"Those young men are all excellent. There is no need for too much polishing in training. Instead, they need to start over in terms of ideological construction."

"However, I am very confident about this. Master Kazama, you will soon see a different Unsullied Army."

"Then I'll wait and see, Spartacus."

Kazama smiled back at Spartacus.

Ai-chan of the sword class is completely different from Ai-chan of the mad class. Although there is still a passion for love in her heart, she is a calm, yet bold man in daily interactions.

"But having said that...the old aristocratic slave owners that you expelled from the city, Lord Kazama, must now be resenting and cursing you behind your back."

"I know very well the nature of this guy...seemingly docile is just surrendering to power. If there is a chance, they will definitely bite back immediately."

"So, to deal with those old nobles, it's better to eradicate them, right?" Kazama asked.

Spartacus said nothing, acquiescing to the answer to the question.

"This is not necessary..."

Kazama shook his head.

It's not that Kazama is soft-hearted. If it is a threat, Kazama will nip the threat in the bud no matter what the cost.

The old aristocrats were not a threat.

"The key is whether the order of human logic can stand here. If it can stand, it goes without saying. Those guys surrendered to power and power."

"If we can't stand, even if we kill them all, it won't help. There will still be forces on the side of the old order that are hostile to us."

"This is actually very good... You know, even light needs a medium to spread in space."

Originally, Xi'an's spark could only illuminate this place in Xi'an, but now that the spark has turned into a torch, it can naturally shine farther, allowing the dawn to be seen in farther places.

In the battle between systems and ideologies, Kazama's forces undoubtedly have a wider base of friends in this battle.

"If we don't let the old nobles go, how can we let the slaves in the other two cities know what's going on here?"

"Hope is a luxury, but it is also a necessity. Rather than eradicating the root causes and solving the fools who cannot see the situation clearly, I would rather take this opportunity to spread hope."

Among the expelled old nobles, a poison pill was also deliberately planted by Kazama.Now the fulcrum for exploring the outside world has been established.The vast espionage network can also be spread.

"So this is your plan..."

After hearing these words, Spartacus also understood what Kazama was thinking.

"But in the final analysis, the essence of the problem is whether it is strong or not."

Kingly, domineering... No matter which path it is, it is based on having sufficient strength.

In Fengjian's eyes, those two city-states were enemies.In the eyes of the leaders of those two city-states, outsiders like Kazama were intolerable in destroying the order they respected.The hostility between the two sides was established from the moment they were fundamentally at odds.

"If I were the leader of the other party, I would start preparing for war after spring plowing, and send troops before the autumn harvest at the latest. What they think must be that the sooner they start a war, the better... After all, in their view, we Occupying Xi'an will also take time to stabilize the order. At the same time, they don't want our order to 'poison' Xi'an too deeply..."

Therefore, in addition to the civil affairs and organizing agricultural production within Xi'an, the focus of development during this period is also on the military and active preparations for war.After some exchanges with Spartacus, the latter quickly stood up and left.

Kazama sat behind the desk and rubbed his eyebrows.

Before Spartacus arrived, he happened to be dealing with matters related to the old nobles of Xi'an.

For those who want to leave Xi'an, Kazama's attitude is not to stop them.

In fact, there are only two types of people in Xi'an who want to leave here today. One is the old nobles, and the other is the lackeys of the old nobles, high-level slaves who have enmity with ordinary slaves.

As for the original free people, although they were a little dissatisfied with the slaves becoming free people, that was the extent of it.

After all, their wealth is all in Xi'an, and unlike the old nobles who have connections in other city-states, they can still protect their aristocratic life.

Therefore, not many people left Xi'an.

What really surprised Kazama was the nobles who were willing to stay in Xi'an.

Pasa, one of Xi'an's superior nobles.

The Deimos played by Baimao before was the nobleman he became through his connections.

After killing Raph before, the slaves found the trembling nobleman in the main hall of the city lord's palace.

After thinking about it, Fengjian sent someone to invite Pasa over.

Pasa came very quickly, as if he knew that Fengjian was going to summon him. Almost as soon as the people sent by Fengjian left, Pasa was brought into the hall.

"Lord City Lord..."

After Pasa entered the hall, he lay down on the ground.

"Get up."

Kazama said:

"I heard that you are planning to stay in Xi'an... If you stay in Xi'an, your original noble status will be abolished and most of your property will be confiscated. Have you thought clearly about it?"

"Think it through, think it through..."

Pasa said repeatedly. He was wearing a simple gray robe today, and all the gemstone rings on his fingers had been removed.Except for his rich appearance that could not hide his status as an old aristocrat, he looked no different from an ordinary free citizen in the morning.

"I would also like to thank the warriors under your command. Lord Spartacus took care of that brutal monster. No one thought that the original city lord we served was actually such a monster."
