Cecilia spoke very seriously.
In fact, it's not that she's scaremongering, but that in the past six months—especially during the few months when she entered the dark forest, the scene Cecilia saw was really appalling.
Dark Forest and Nancy Royal Court are her hometown. Two or three years ago, when she and Patience had just escaped from Nancy's court, they had already realized that the infiltration of Nancy's court by necromancers was very serious. But when she went back this time, she found that things were much worse than she had imagined.
Three years ago, there was only one Dark Mage Tower in the Dark Forest. Although there are already traces of undead haunting, at least they are still within a certain range. It is worth mentioning that at that time, the senior management of Nancy Royal Court showed signs of corruption.
And now, the dark jungle is almost turning into a dead place.
Cecilia went to the Peacock Forest Temple, which she had been in charge of for a hundred years, and found that the place that was supposed to be peaceful and peaceful was now devastated. According to her investigation, the elves in the dark forest seem to be kept in captivity, and a large number of elves live in numbness like walking dead. But the high-level officials of Wang Ting didn't care about it.
Obviously, the high level of the royal court has been corrupted. Perhaps, when they first took in the mages and built the mage tower, the presbytery or the elf king's council may have been infiltrated by the necromancers. Some are controlled by corruption, while others are simply members of the Church of the Damned.
The life of the people in the capital can still be maintained normally, but the elves are forbidden to leave the scope of the capital. As for the place outside the elf king's capital, it is a bad place.
Cecilia stayed in the dark forest for three full months, and finally came to a sad result-Nancy Royal Court was hopeless. Even the fall of the capital is probably only a matter of time. There was nothing she could do but gather as many elves as possible who were willing to follow her and leave their homeland.
"The Holy See and the Northern Alliance have noticed the situation in the Dark Forest, but they haven't responded enough. Some of my compatriots who organized resistance against the undead in the Dark Forest have sent a request for help to the Ilseth Elf Kingdom in the north. They appealed to the Holy See for help, but for a year, they didn’t seem to have much movement.”
Cecilia recounted her experiences and opinions, and she continued:
"My lord, we can't be careless about this like those big forces. The several turmoil caused by the Cursed Church in history all harmed one side and caused great damage. Schindler and The Dark Forest is only separated by Broken Dragon Peak, and we cannot remain indifferent to the threat rising from the depths of the Central Mountain Range."
Dane was silent for a moment.
He knew about cursing the church. This notorious organization is well-known on the mainland.
They say it is a church, but in fact their beliefs are difficult to determine, and it seems that they do not specifically believe in a certain god. Among their members, there are followers of evil gods, necromancers who believe in death, demon apostles who collude with the abyss and hell...
But there is one thing that is unified. The Church of the Damned seems to have always adhered to one purpose: to subvert the world.
The evil gods want to subvert the mainstream good gods; the necromancers want to establish a kingdom of death on the ground; the devil apostles want to welcome their masters into the main world. No matter what the purpose is, the surface world is the target they want to destroy.
Their actions are very secretive, and they seem to be planning some big conspiracy all the time. In fact, this is exactly the case. The several major turmoils initiated by the Church of the Damned in history were all catastrophic disasters.
Don't say far, just say near.
During the establishment of the new Caesar Empire, at the junction of the current Pudli Kingdom and the new Holy Prome Empire, there used to be a country called Essins, which was once considered a powerful country.
However, such a country with a population of at least two million at that time turned into a country of the dead within two years. If it hadn't happened to meet the rising new Caesar Empire and the talented emperor of the empire, who knows how much impact they would have in the end.
But despite this, the Cursed Church also prevented the further expansion of the new Caesar Empire to the west. Even if they were wiped out, they also brought great damage to the Caesar Empire, so that Emperor Lin Tan failed to bring his empire with him in his lifetime. Touch the West. After the death of Emperor Lin Tan, the subsequent emperors did not have the ability of their ancestors, and finally the empire collapsed.
From this perspective, in a sense, the Church of the Damned indirectly led to the collapse of the New Caesar Empire. It can be seen how powerful this organization is.
Now, they have revived from the ashes, and they have already made a big deal without making a sound.
Dane asked: "How do you confirm that those who make trouble in the dark forest are the Church of the Damned?"
Cecilia didn't say much, but took out a black metal badge about the size of a gold coin.
Seeing this badge, Dane narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is this?"
"This is something we got from an elf who killed a necromancer. This is the mark of the Church of the Damned, and it is the identity representative of the members of the Church of the Damned."
Dane sighed, and said to a waiter outside the living room, "Bring the wooden box in my suitcase."
After a while, there was a wooden box in his hand. When it was opened, there was a badge that might be slightly different in subtleties, but the overall style was almost the same.
"Huh? My lord, how did you get this badge?"
"Take it and have a look carefully." Dane handed the badge to Cecilia.
The priestess took the badge and studied it carefully for a long time. With her religious knowledge, she also needed to carefully identify it.
But in the end, she came to a conclusion: "That's right, this is the logo of members of the Cursed Church, and the owner of this badge should be a senior member of the church."
"Then it's no problem." Dane said, "It seems that the Church of the Damned has already begun to deploy in Schindler... Fortunately, Conley has been killed."
"Is this from Governor Conley?"
"Yes, after killing Conley, this thing was found in his body."
Cecilia choked for a moment, and after a while, she said a word of emotion: "This is simply... terrible."
