"That's all I know... There are already a large number of bankrupt poor people who need relief in the central area of the capital, but the food that the storm priests can provide is very limited, because my king never hoards food... The streets are full of skinny poor people ...If the problem is not resolved, their today is our tomorrow..." Maximian buried his face in his palm.
"So what do you think?" Niwa asked lightly.
Maximian took a deep breath, "We need a new God, a God who can bring us hope. He must have the ability to change the environment of Mond and open up more land suitable for human existence. The reason why I prefer the Thousand Wind Elf. Although he is still very weak, he can open up a land suitable for human survival in the east. If he can possess the supernatural power of the Gale Demon God, maybe..."
Niwa stopped asking questions, got up slowly and said: "You will be punished for hiding from the gods, but not now. We will find a way to destroy the wall of sighs. Let me ask you one last question, Maximian, for this What price are you willing to pay for the success of the rebellion?"
"Everything!" Maximian said decisively, "As long as the Lawrence tribe can continue, I am willing to give everything! Besides, this is not a rebellion, but a revolution!"
"Isn't it for the continuation of everyone?" Niwa looked at him with a half-smile.
Maximian blushed, "In front of the envoy, it doesn't make much sense to sing high-profile. Although what I do will benefit everyone, I am for Lawrence first."
"But now Lawrence's life has not reached the point where he can't go on."
"Wait until that day before doing anything, it will be too late."
"The people may not understand you."
"So what? Lawrence never expects others to understand. Lawrence only does what he thinks is right, and sticks to it."
----------
In the big room where the crossing team is located, Niwa called Yura, Amber, and Ying together, and told them the conversation with Maximian.
He has the favor of Fengshen, and he knows how to prevent Qianfeng from passing the news to Gale Demon God.
So everyone started the first text live broadcast on the Tivat continent.
"So how should we help Lawrence's people enter the Storm Tower?" Amber manipulated the fire element unskillfully to spell out words, and the words were twisted and crooked.
"I suggest to investigate first and then make a decision." The ice element condensed into clear and cold words, just like Yula's calm eyes.
"It's hard, isn't it? After all, the storm tower is surrounded by guards of storm priests, and it's hard to get close without a good reason." Ying's elemental talent is amazing, and the wind element can also present clear words in her hands.
Niwa's eyes moved slightly, and then he gathered words with water elements, "Let's go back and think about it."
After everyone had left, Niwa walked slowly to the bed and pushed open the wooden window, "When else do you want to sneak a peek at?"
Heinz outside the window looked at Niwa confidently, "If Master Dongfeng didn't want me to see it, I'm afraid he would have called it off already? Since you agreed, how can this be called peeking?"
Niwa's expression remained unchanged, "Now that you've seen it, let me tell you what you think."
"Of course I have ideas, but most of them won't be pleasing."
"Heh...Lawrence never expects others to understand? The members of your family are really virtuous."
"Expect summer insects to understand what winter ice is? People who think this way are idiots, right?" Heinz smiled mockingly, then turned and walked into the darkness.
Niwa stared at his back silently, his expression gradually became complicated.
Chapter 195 Lawrence's Enlightenment
Gale King was pitch black at night, and the people of the Lawrence tribe finished their day's work and fell asleep early.
In this darkness, a little light approached the center of the village.
The tribal warriors on duty stopped the visitor and found that the other person was an old man with gray beard and hair.
"I want to see Patriarch Lawrence. Tell him I can fix his problem."
Soon, tribal warriors took him to the basement of the patriarch's house and met Maximian.
As soon as they met, the two felt somewhat familiar with each other.
Maximian showed surprise, but Heinz stroked his chest expressionlessly and said, "I'm here on behalf of Lord Dan...my plan requires Eric's participation."
After a while, Maximian called his eldest son and opened the gray mist barrier again.
"I need to confirm first, how do you contact the reinforcements outside the wind wall?" Heinz asked.
"Using this Seal of Ice can convey simple information. However, using it requires the direct blood of the Lawrence family. Apart from me, only my eldest son can use it." Maximian showed the badge in his hand.
"Then the second question." Heinz looked at Maximian seriously, "You said that you are willing to gamble everything for the future of the family. Does this include your life and even your honor?"
Eric stood up abruptly, and was about to yell at him, but was stopped by Maximian.
"Yes, I'd risk everything."
Heinz smiled grimly, "Since you have this awareness, then you are qualified to listen to my plan."
……
It wasn't until early in the morning that Heinz returned to his residence exhausted.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure standing in the darkness, and he was slightly startled.
With the dim light, Niwa could clearly see the bruise at the corner of Heinz's mouth.
He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Have you gone to see Maximian?"
Heinz turned his head slightly, hid the wound in the darkness, and sneered, "So what?"
Niwa was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Maybe there is a better way."
Heinz shuddered, and sneered again, "Did you guess it?"
"The big snake god of the sea, Zhuyu, is in front, so it's not difficult to guess... Hehe, to be precise, it should be Zhuyu in the back."
"There will be no better way... I never thought that you are so kind as a woman. It is really wrong to lose to you before!"
"After all, that is also the ancestor of your Lawrence family."
"That's why I proposed this plan! Only Lawrence can understand Lawrence!"
Heinz snorted angrily, turned and went back to his room, leaving Niwa alone in the darkness for a long time.
----------
One morning more than ten days later, a large number of heavily armed soldiers broke the tranquility of the Lawrence tribe.
The Lawrence people who had just awakened were preparing to resist, but found that the leader was a storm priest!Behind him, followed by a dozen guards and hundreds of ordinary tribal fighters!
These elite guards wear a full set of leather armor and carry the best weapons, which are the elite force directly mastered by the storm priests, the storm guards.The hundreds of ordinary tribal warriors who followed them were from another Wallguard tribe, apparently transferred to cooperate with the Storm Guards.
Maximian greeted the patriarch's house calmly, and bowed to the leading storm priest and a red-haired man standing behind him, "Good day, Your Excellency Nikolai. Good day, Legenfinder Patriarch."
The storm priest Nikolai held his head up arrogantly and said nothing. The red-haired chief of Legenfind had a cloudy expression, and just nodded slightly in return.
After Maximian finished greeting, Nicolai immediately showed a piece of parchment with a red seal, "After investigation, Chief Lawrence colluded with Andreus, the North Wind Wolf King, intending to betray the great Gale King! The Church of the Storm immediately Arrested and sent to the tribunal for trial!"
As soon as the words fell, several storm guards like wolves and tigers immediately stepped forward to capture Maximian!
Maximian reacted quickly, immediately drew out his dagger to resist, and protested loudly: "What are you talking about! As a wall protector in my Lawrence tribe, I have been loyal to the King of Gale for thousands of years, how could I betray! It must be Someone has made a false accusation!"
Several storm guards looked at Nikolai.
But Nicolai sneered and said: "Maximian, you dare to have a different opinion on our great and benevolent king. The ungrateful person is destined to be unpopular! It is your eldest son Eric who came out to accuse you! Hehe ... Even your clansmen can't tolerate you, so what else can you argue with!"
Maximian turned his head and looked behind him, meeting Eric's painful eyes.
Then, pretending to be surprised, he raised his sword and slashed at Eric!
"Nie Zi! I'll kill you!"
Seeing such a scene, the storm guards didn't hesitate anymore, they immediately rushed up and twisted Maximian's arm, grabbed his dagger, and tied him up.
Seeing that Maximian was tightly tied and dragged down, Nikolai brushed off his robe, stepped forward and nodded to Eric: "Your loyalty to the king depends on your Majesty and the High Priestess." You take those meritorious clansmen with you and go to the Central King City with us. After the trial of the traitor Maximian is over, my king will meet you and the meritorious clansmen in the Storm Tower and formally accept your allegiance , and give you corresponding titles."
Eric bent down deeply, hiding his expression of uncontrollable pain, "Follow my king's will. Please, Lord Storm Priest, come to the big house to rest for a while, and allow me to entertain you."
Nicolai gave a soft "hmm" and walked into the patriarch's house with his head held high.
Eric straightened up, but found that the eyes of the people looking at him were full of complex emotions.He stepped forward, and the trusted clansmen around him backed away one after another, as if he was carrying terrible germs on his body.
He couldn't help but recall the situation of that night again.
In the gray mist, words like poisonous snakes came out of the old man's mouth, piercing his eardrums.
He punched angrily, but his father stopped him, only scratching the corner of the opponent's mouth.
He sadly asked to sacrifice himself as a traitor, but was ruthlessly rejected by the old man.
That person didn't seem to have any emotion at all, he just coldly analyzed the pros and cons and the feasibility of the whole plan.
And his father didn't have the slightest fear of being a sacrifice, and calmly analyzed how to better use his sacrifice to achieve his goals.
That scene was so absurd, as if the sacrifice was discussing with the priest, how to drain his own blood and remove his own flesh, so as to please the gods to the greatest extent...
"Chief Eric, it's time to go."
A cold voice came from the side, and a cold face that was [-]% similar to his father appeared in sight.
Eric, who had always been fearless, had a tangled face and couldn't help but reach out to wipe the sweat from his forehead before he staggered towards the patriarch's house.
Chapter 196 "Sinners"
Almost within a day, the news of the rebellion of the chief of the Lawrence tribe, the wall guard, spread throughout the capital of Gale Wind, especially the central area of the capital.
Urban residents have always been better informed than farmers, and they love to watch the excitement more.Under the guidance of the Storm Priest, the resentment of these years of hard life was inexplicably transferred to Patriarch Lawrence.
When the prison van loaded with Maximian drove into the Central King City, tens of thousands of residents gathered on both sides of the road, shouting angrily and throwing mud and stones at him—the reason why they didn’t throw rotten eggs and stones that are popular in film and television works Rotten vegetable leaves, because these rounds are also food, and they can no longer be thrown away.
Eric, who followed, was heartbroken.The stones and filth that fell on his father seemed to be falling on himself.However, due to the publicity of the storm priests, when it was his turn to pass by, people greeted him with flowers and applause.
Eric didn't know what expression to make, so he could only keep a cold face and move forward silently.
Accompanied by his side were Heinz, Niwa, and Yura, in addition to the two confidant tribe warriors.Heinz takes the identity of the informant who first discovered Maximian's plot, and Niwa and Yura pose as his attendants.Since Heinz made a good report, he will be summoned by the Gale King together with Eric and will be awarded the title of nobility.
Besides Eric, they are the only three people who know the whole plan.Facing the scene in front of her, Yura's expression was also complicated, while Heinz's and Niwa's expressions were as sinking as water.
As the prison van approached the center of the city, the spirits of the townspeople rose.Cursing the traitor and praising the whistleblower merged into an incomprehensible cacophony, suppressing even the howling wind around the Storm Tower.
Eric was incomprehensible.
Obviously, his father has devoted himself to guarding the border of the king's capital for decades, but these people, whom his father has guarded all his life, now want to tear him apart.
It is obvious that the father is objectively sacrificing himself to save everyone, including all the people who are starving, but the people reward him with stones and abuse.
The storm priests didn't wait for a moment, and directly pulled Maximian in the prison car onto the execution platform not far from the Storm Tower.
This is a temporary high platform built of wood to ensure that the tens of thousands of people crowded nearby can see the "sinner" on the platform.
Maximian was escorted by two storm guards to kneel in the center of the high platform, facing thousands of people, and sitting not far behind was a senior member of the Church of the Storm.
The High Priest of the Storm is an old man about the same age as Maximian. He wears a complicated robe embroidered with patterns of wind elements and a towering triple crown.Amid the frenzied shouts of the crowd, he nodded towards Nikolai who was on the high platform.
Nicolai suppressed his excitement, unfolded the parchment, and announced the crime of Maximian on behalf of the Church of the Storm.After the lengthy but brief description of the crime, it was the final verdict of the church tribunal.
Crime of treason!death penalty!
There was no courtroom, no plea, just a trial so rudimentary that it could hardly be called a trial.
But the people don't need the truth, what they need is an outlet for them to vent their emotions.
There is nothing more satisfying than standing on the commanding heights of morality and judging sinners!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The crowd began to shout slogans, spreading from the vicinity of the high platform to the periphery, and gradually becoming orderly from scattered.Citizens a few blocks away were unaware of what was happening, but soon began shouting frantically too!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The ignorant child who was held by his parents couldn't even see Maximian's face clearly, but soon began to learn from his parents!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The storm guards and even some storm priests became more and more convinced of their own justice, and looked at the high priest with fanatical eyes!
The chanting of tens of thousands of people in unison is magical, making Eric almost forget his original intention, and just want to be a hero praised by everyone, forever.
Perhaps, can push the boat along the way?
After realizing this fleeting thought, Eric, who was fearless even in the face of hundreds of giant wolves, felt intense fear, and his body trembled violently!
He looked at Heinz with distressed eyes.
Heinz's face was like ice that would not melt for thousands of years, his eyes stared straight ahead indifferently, and the words he spoke were more like talking to himself in a noisy environment.
"Don't trust people, especially stupid and ignorant civilians."
"They spurned nobility, mocked wisdom, persecuted heroes, and indulged vice."
"They love violence, but when violence is done to them, they just cry and beg for mercy."
