The Lord killed all his servants, including his brother Dolon.
He wasn't sure whether His Holiness did this, but this was the only explanation that made sense.
He couldn't understand why His Holiness did this.
Young people throughout the Holy Land are proud to serve His Holiness. They will never be disrespectful to His Holiness, and they will always do their best to fulfill His Holiness’s requests.
These five people were carefully selected by various tribes and shamans, and there was no question about their ability or loyalty.
In other words, there is a high probability that there will be no problem with these five people.
They had no problem, but His Holiness killed them. What does this mean?
There is only one possibility, and that is that there is something wrong with His Holiness.
This rebellious idea scared Ashina so much that she sat down on the ground.
For so many years, His Holiness has been regarded as a god walking in the world in their hearts. How could they dare to question His Holiness.
But the failure of this war and the death of all the golden-robed shamans made the remaining people doubt the venerable's decision.
Even His Holiness makes mistakes in judgment sometimes.
If he had calculated everything, was this failure part of his calculation?
Ashina thought of another possibility.
Because there is a being behind Matthew who is more powerful than the Venerable, so the Venerable cannot calculate Matthew's future and can't make targeted countermeasures. That's why it failed?
All kinds of thoughts came one after another, making Ashina's mood extremely bad.
He doesn't care about the Lord's affairs at all now. He just wants to know one thing, what happened to Duolong?
If Duolong really did something wrong and was killed by the Venerable in anger, he would be sad but would not say anything.
If Dolon was killed by the Venerable despite no fault of his own, it would be difficult for him to remain loyal.
Unlike those fanatical believers at the bottom, the upper elites of each religious organization are generally not very religious.
Even if the God they believe in really exists, can he control every believer?
Even a god like His Holiness who is right next to you cannot control everyone.
Ashina didn't dare to hesitate and immediately went out to find Geerdan again.
Although Brother Geerdan didn't want to say anything, he still wanted to ask clearly in person.
He would chat with Gerdan for a while, and then burst out with questions he wanted to know the answers to when Gerdan let his guard down.
As long as he grasps the rhythm of questioning, Geerdan will definitely not be able to hide his secrets.
He can tell fortunes, but he doesn't understand the dangers of the human heart.
Although he felt sorry for his good friend by doing this, he would risk anything for his brother.
Ashina came to Gerdan's room again and knocked on the door.
"Brother Geerdan, I really can't sleep, so I came to see you again. Have you fallen asleep?"
"Brother Gerdan?"
Ashina knocked on the door, and the knocking became louder and louder, but there was no response.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to push the door, but the door didn't move at all. It seemed to be locked.
Ashina hesitated for a moment, planning to come back to Gerdan tomorrow, but the moment he turned to leave, he keenly discovered a suspicious point.
The door is not locked from the inside, but from the outside.
Although this lock is relatively small, you can still see the difference if you look closely.
Ashina's body became even colder. He stared blankly at the locked door, his mind going blank.
It was so late, so Gerdan probably didn't go out to go to the toilet.
They, important members of the Holy Land, have separate courtyards, and the toilet is not far from the bedroom, just a few steps away.
Who goes out in the middle of the night to solve a problem in the courtyard toilet and locks the door?
It doesn't make sense at all!
There is only one possibility, and that is that Gerdan ran away!
Ashina jumped up to the roof very quickly, hung upside down under the eaves, and looked in through the cracks in the window.
As expected, Brother Gerdan was not in the room.
While confirming his judgment, Ashina was in a bad mood.
Although there are many possibilities for Gerdan running away overnight, at this special moment tonight, it was probably because he helped Ashina tell his fate.
Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Ashina didn't dare to delay. He quickly turned over, held the lock with his hand, squeezed it hard and violently opened the lock, and then walked into the fortune teller's room.
In the dim moonlight, Ashina saw blood stains on the floor.
The green blood stains were particularly eye-catching in the night, looking a little twisted and weird.
Ashina knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he observed carefully and saw that Geerdan had brought almost nothing with him. He only opened a safe and took away cash and gold tickets.
Because he left in such a hurry, he didn't even close the safe.
In addition, he even left behind some personal valuables.
One word to describe Gerdan's escape is anxious.
He wished he could grow six legs and run away.
What happened to make the fortune teller so embarrassed? It was probably that he got something he shouldn't have calculated during the fortune telling, and the result was so bad that he vomited blood.
Ashina made some observations and determined Gerdan's escape route.
He escaped in such a hurry that he didn't have time to cover up his tracks. With Ashina's ability, it was not difficult to track him.
What surprised him was not that Geldan escaped, but the direction in which Geldan escaped.
That is the forbidden area in the mountain behind the Holy Land.
Gerdan didn't even dare to escape through the front gate, but chose the back mountain.
This is obviously not a hasty choice, but the result of careful consideration.
Ashina's heart sank. He really wanted to know the results of Geerdan's divination, so much so that he risked his life and walked into the forbidden area in the back mountain.
No one knows what is in the forbidden area behind the mountain, but everyone knows that you must die if you enter here.
Geerdan is a fortune teller. He must have divined his escape route. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope here?
Ashina followed calmly, walking not far behind Geerdan toward the forbidden area.
The road to the forbidden area is very quiet.
Normally, there would be patrols patrolling here, but these young warriors all died on the battlefield. The number of believers still remaining in the Holy Land is less than one-third of the number before the war, and some less important positions are temporarily vacant.
The removal of the guards of the forbidden area was an arrangement made by Ashina himself.
In his opinion, as long as he is a disciple of the Holy Land, he will not trespass into this forbidden area.Rather than wasting precious troops here, it would be better to do something meaningful.
Not far behind Geerdan, Ashina carefully hid his body, constantly using trees, houses, stones and other shelters to hide his figure.
He was serious about counter-reconnaissance.
However, it is useless for him to be serious alone. Gerdan has no sense of investigation at all.
The fortune teller walked on the path in despair, like a lonely ghost.
Ashina, who felt bored, didn't care that much and simply followed Geerdan not far behind.
Soon, Gerdan walked into the unguarded forbidden area.
Very few people dare to disobey His Majesty's orders, and indeed no one comes to the forbidden area. There used to be towering stone pillars on both sides of the valley, but now these stone pillars are covered with moss and weeds, and no one has cleaned them.
Geerdan and Ashina quickly walked into the forbidden area with their own thoughts.
The forbidden area is more gloomy than the outside. It doesn't feel like a forbidden valley, but more like a burial ground.
After taking just a few steps, Ashina almost tripped. He looked down and saw that he had guessed correctly. This was indeed a desolate burial ground.
There are various kinds of skeletons in the valley, including skeletons that look like humans, skeletons of various demi-humans, and skeletons of some rare and exotic animals.
All in all, this is a huge cemetery.
No wonder His Holiness does not want others to come in.
This kind of place is too exciting for those young disciples.
Continuing to walk inside, the skeletons piled on the ground are also constantly changing. Some of the skeletons looked very powerful during their lifetime.
Their thick skeletons are very well preserved, and even the bodies of some of the skeletons are basically preserved.
From the corpses of these powerful men and the relics around them, we can see how prominent they were during their lifetimes.
Just when Ashina was hesitating whether to go deeper, he heard Geerdan's low voice.
The sound was not loud, but it was full of fear and despair.
Gerdan is in danger!Ashina didn't care that he was following the opponent and rushed over quickly.
He was indeed upset by Gerdan's concealment tonight, but they were best friends after all, and he didn't want anything to happen to Gerdan.
If there is any problem, good brothers can solve it privately, and if there is danger, we have to shoulder it together.
When Ashina ran over, he only saw Gerdan's absent-minded expression.
"Geldan, what did you see?"
"There, look over there, what is that?!" Gerdan's anxious voice was like a lone wolf whose waist was broken, full of despair.
Ashina looked along Geerdan's finger. Although there was only weak moonlight, his night vision was extremely strong and he could still clearly see the corpse Geerdan was pointing at.
His blood coagulated almost instantly.
Just when he was about to scream, he covered his mouth to stifle the sound.
Geerdan and Ashina looked at each other with horrified expressions. Although they were not the same person, no one could share the fear at this moment.
After trembling for a while, Ashina gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Geerdan, you are injured and should not use your magic power rashly. It is better for me to go up and investigate."
"No, let's go together!"
Ashina and Gerdan looked at each other and nodded at the same time, as if they had gone back to their green days when they dug out wolf cubs from the wolf den together at night.
The only difference is probably that they are no longer young, and their mentality tonight will never go back.
The two of them carefully came to a corpse and turned it over.
The face of this corpse caused cold sweat to fall from their foreheads, and their hairs stood up suddenly.
This is a servant who serves His Holiness on the Nameless Peak.
He was the son of an old friend of theirs whom they knew.
Later, they found three more corpses, which together represented all the servants except Doron.
Looking at Ash's ugly expression, Gerdan comforted softly: "Don't worry, since we didn't find Duolong's body, maybe he is fine."
The well-intentioned but poor comfort did not make Ashina feel better.
He continued to search with a dark face, and finally found the last corpse, which was face down. It looked like it was a male corpse, and it was wearing Duolong's clothes.
Ashina's knees weakened, her vision went dark, and she knelt down on the spot.
This was his only relative, and he was so cruelly attacked. How could he face the future of his life?
Looking at Ashina's sad expression, Gerdan comforted him in a low voice: "Don't cry in a hurry, this is not your brother!"
"Your brother is much taller than this corpse. If you don't believe it, just open it and take a look."
"I, I, Gerdan, go and check, I don't dare to look!"
Although what Gerdan said was reasonable, Ashina's mentality had already collapsed and he didn't dare to look at it again.
Geerdan could completely understand Ashina's mood. He didn't say anything. He walked over gratefully, turned over the shriveled body that was facing down, and then fell to the ground, almost fainting on the spot.
Gerdan lost a lot of blood tonight and suffered a huge loss of physical strength. When he saw this absolutely impossible face, his mentality exploded instantly.
Ashina, who was originally following behind to wait for news, saw Gerdan fall to the ground and quickly went up to help his friend up.
