Scott area, Scott Island, Grand Plaza.
After several days, the Black Tide Secret Society had wiped out all the remaining Kiz Church members in the Scott area, and only a few remaining Kiz believers fled.
The Black Tide Secret Society did not continue to pursue these escaped remnants of the Church of Gizzi.
They have more important things to do.
Judgment!
A spacious execution platform has been built on the large square. Those holding execution axes are all Black Tide Knights. They stand solemnly, like iron towers.
Some of the bolder residents of Scott Island began to whisper.
"Is the Black Tide Conclave going to execute the followers of the Church of Gize? So many people?"
"This Black Tide Secret Society is really cruel..."
"They are not good people anyway. Those believers are accomplices of the evildoers and pretend to be pious. It is better to kill them."
"Well, it's okay to be tough on them, but I don't know what kind of church this Black Tide Secret Society is. I hope they don't collect some kind of 'clothing tax' like the Church of Gizzi..."
"I don't think so. The people of the Black Tide Secret Society don't look like good people. Instead, they look a bit like... devils..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Do you want to die?"
Most of the people who come to the square are relatively young people. Women and children are very rare. You can even say that most of them are street urchins and hooligans...
Most of them came to watch the fun, but it can be seen from their appearance that they were wary of this newly emerged Black Tide Secret Society, and even had some fear because of the style of the Black Tide Secret Society...
More civilians were in distant houses, on balconies, and in corners, secretly looking into the distance.
Kget silently glanced at everyone present, then walked slowly towards the execution platform with heavy steps.
Behind him was a ceremonial officer in tattered robes and a female knight in seductive clothing.
They are the strongest force of the Gizzi Church guarding Scott Island.
In the past, the common people would not even dare to look up at them, as they always acted superior.
But now, he was being held captive like a lost dog, on the verge of death.
Faced with such a situation, the three people who had prominent status in the past had different attitudes.
"Let me go, let me go! I am the ceremonial master, the ceremonial master of Scott Island! The owner of the highest power in this city! You can't do this to me!"
"You witches, demons, parasites, and delusional heretics, if you dare to kill me, the Church of Kiz will never let you go. God Kiz will make you feel the most severe torture to make you apologize..."
“… Ugh!”
The ceremonial performer screamed and yelled madly.
However, the iron chains on his body spread here and strangled his throat, making him like a duck with its throat strangled, and his voice stopped abruptly.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go, I was forced to work for the Church of Kitz, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will definitely serve your god... the Lord of the Black Tide, I will offer my loyalty to the Lord of the Black Tide!"
"Do not kill me!"
There was a look of deep fear in the female knight's eyes. She had a pretty face and a hot body, and the abilities she unconsciously exuded made the men present's mouths water and their throats dry.
However, no matter how much she begged for mercy, she could not stop her body from being pushed step by step onto the execution platform.
And Kget is the quietest of them all.
He neither roared in anger nor cried bitterly. Before he was about to die, he seemed to have some realization, which made him calm.
He just stared quietly at the two men on the execution platform.
A man and a woman.
He was very familiar with the woman, her name was Sarah, and she seemed to be the bishop of this emerging church.
But what made him feel strange was the man.
Kget was a stranger to him, but he was able to stand beside Sharo and be on par with her.
at the same time…
Kgett looked down at the chains on his body.
The restraining force surging within seemed to come from that man...
However, before Kget had time to think more, he was taken to the execution platform and knelt in front of a group of civilians and black-robed believers.
Soon, a group of remnants of the Church of Kizz were neatly pressed onto the execution platform, with their backs to the members of the Black Tide Conclave.
Just when everyone thought the execution was ready, another group of Black Tide followers came escorting a group of people in gorgeous clothes and with terrified looks on their faces.
"No, no, no, you can't kill me! I am the lord of this island, my status is innate, I am supreme!"
"Please let me go, I have never done anything bad..."
"I'll give you money! I'll give you land! I can give you everything, please be kind and let me go!"
This group of people cried bitterly, wailed for mercy, with a unified look of fear and disbelief in their eyes.
When they saw them, the crowd was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, it's Pietro, Lord Scott, the man-eating old shark!"
"God, can you please keep your voice down a bit? No one can hear us!"
"And there's Madam Elly, the gang leader Saidiya... they're all respectable nobles with a good reputation!"
"The Black Tide Secret Society is going to execute them?!"
Some young people were surprised and delighted, and some even shouted out with joy.
In fact, whether it was the Black Tide Secret Society taking over Scott Island or the execution of the believers of the Church of Gizzi, it was just something they expected.
After all, Scott Island has not always been ruled by the Kizz Church. Before the Kizz Church came, there were other churches on the island.
Therefore, what happened to the church members before the execution was something that even a child could guess.
But they didn't expect one thing—the Black Tide Secret Society actually planned to execute these nobles and upper-class people!
This made the civilians feel ecstatic.
You know, for ordinary people, what they hate the most is not the church, but these so-called "upper class", "nobles", "ladies", "young masters", and even some lords' officials.
Why
Because the reason why their lives became so difficult was half due to the church and half due to these nobles.
Most of these lords, vassals, and nobles were people whom the common people could see with their own eyes and were oppressed by.
Although the believers also oppressed and looked down on them, their presence was much less than that of these people.
After all, it is mostly these guys who collect taxes, levy grain, and oppress others.
Although the Church of Kiz also levied some outrageous taxes, they often took a condescending attitude and preached some profound doctrines that were incomprehensible to the common people. Even the "clothing tax" they demanded was collected by these people.
In the past, when the Church of Kiz came here, not only did they not punish them, but they recruited them as their minions.
Many people naturally believed that these nobles would escape just like they did when the Church of Giz arrived, and then help the Black Tide Secret Society to continue oppressing them.
Now the Black Tide Secret Society has sent them to the execution platform. How can people not be excited? !
“Kill them!”
"Kill these worms!"
"They should be burned to ashes!"
Many people were indignant but also extremely happy.
These nobles were sent to the execution platform in fear and knelt in front of all the people.
"Bishop Sharo... and this... lord, are all ready."
A Black Tide Knight stepped forward to report, but he obviously didn't know the man next to Sarah, and he paused awkwardly.
"He is Bishop Grosje, sent by the Lord of the Black Tide to help us."
Sarah said calmly.
Hearing this, a trace of awe flashed in the eyes of the Black Tide Knight. He saluted respectfully towards Rogge and then took his leave.
At this time, Rogge slowly took off the hood on his head, revealing his true face.
He had originally intended to leave these matters to Sarah.
But after talking with Luther, he felt he needed to come in person.
Of course, he couldn't send his real body over as that would consume too much power of faith and wouldn't be cost-effective.
It is enough to use the power of faith to create a temporary body, it doesn’t cost much.
After all, there are three believers at the agent level among the prisoners, so it is better to be careful.
"Who is that? I've never seen him before..."
"He should be the bishop of the Black Tide Conclave, right?"
"How come I've never seen..."
Some believers couldn't help but start a discussion.
After Sarah nodded slightly to Roger, she stepped back slightly and waited for him to speak.
Rogge didn't hesitate, he took a step forward and glanced calmly at everyone present.
"Hello, fellow countrymen. My name is Grosje, and I am the bishop of the Black Tide Conclave."
His first words stunned everyone present.
Fellow countrymen? What is that? No one had ever called them that before.
This made many people prick up their ears and listen involuntarily.
In fact, many of them were not interested in the church's speeches. After all, they had listened to the Kizz Church's speeches before and their ears were callused.
If they hadn't wanted to see the nobles being executed, they would have left long ago.
But now, Rogge has aroused the desire of some people to listen further.
Under their gazes, Roger spoke again.
"Some people may wonder why I call you compatriots and why I exclude the identity of bishop..."
Having said this, he paused.
"… Because I am first and foremost a human being, an ordinary person, and secondly a bishop of the Black Tide Conclave, a follower of the Lord of the Black Tide."
The crowd below was in disbelief.
But the believers and knights of the Black Tide Secret Society and some of the extraordinary people who accompanied them were not very surprised.
"You should also know that the Church of Giz has been expelled by us, and the flag of the Black Tide Conclave has been planted in Scott."
“The church is based on faith.”
"No church is an exception, and the Black Tide Conclave is no exception."
"The Lord of the Black Tide also needs you and your faith."
"But He will not give you anything."
Hearing this, the crowd fell silent.
You still say that we need our faith
… Even though the Church of Giz didn’t grant anything, you shouldn’t be so lazy as to say polite words…
Some people have already started to complain in their hearts.
However, at this moment, Rogge changed the subject, raised his hand, and slowly opened it.
"In the eyes of the Lord of the Black Tide, there is no gift, only exchange..."
"A fair exchange."
A serious and earnest voice echoed in the square.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but wonder... Exchange? What does this mean
After waiting for everyone to digest this information for a while, Rogge took a deep breath.
"If you provide faith to the Lord of the Black Tide, or offer valuable items as sacrifices, He will exchange them with you for something of equal value."
"For example... extraordinary power, or the power of faith."
"Secret arts, prayers, treasures, extraordinary equipment, extraordinary knowledge..."
"As long as you are pious enough or make enough sacrifices, you can gain the extraordinary power to fight the storm... No matter who you are!"
Rogge's eyes were firm and his voice was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire Scott Island.
"The purpose of the church's gods is to enslave humans and make them his loyal servants, occasionally giving us a pitiful rotten bone..."
"They are selfish and narrow-minded, limiting themselves to this corner of the ocean."
"And the Lord of the Black Tide has reached out to us at this moment! Inviting us to step into the vaster ocean!"
"Humans should be more than just this!"
Buzz—
It seemed to verify what Rogge said.
The sky was suddenly covered with black tides, and countless black tide holes emerged. A vague black shadow so huge that it almost covered the entire Scott Island suddenly appeared.
[What is said is effective]
Not the sound.
This is will.
The will of the Lord of the Black Tide was revealed in everyone's mind at this moment!
Hearing this, Kget, who had been lowering his head just now, suddenly looked up and looked at Rogge beside him with deep horror in his eyes. He was also extremely shocked by the strange scene just now.
He simply couldn't believe this was true.
The vision soon disappeared.
But its appearance still made almost everyone present in a trance for a long time.
After a while.
People came to their senses belatedly.
Soon, there was an uproar at the scene.
They found this even more unbelievable.
You know, in their previous lives, those who possessed power that was beyond the reach of mortals were the high and mighty believers and masters. Those noble masters occasionally also possessed this power.
If ordinary people want to gain this kind of power, they either have to pursue opportunities with little hope in danger overseas, or bite the bullet and move closer to the church regardless of the consequences.
Furthermore, most people don’t even know that these two methods exist.
But Rogge and the Black Tide Church put the opportunity clearly in front of them and told them—everyone has a chance!
Moreover, the Lord of the Black Tide is a witness!
Heated discussions soon broke out among the crowd.
Many people's first reaction was disbelief, but they couldn't help feeling excited and expectant.
But they still had deep hesitation in their hearts and did not dare to respond at all.
The past has made them silent, and even if the extraordinary power is right before their eyes, they feel it is so illusory and unreal.
But there were still some brave and quick-thinking young men who came to the nearest knight or believer and asked cautiously.
"My Lord, is what the man on the execution platform said true?"
The knights and believers who heard this couldn't help but glance at Sharo and Rogge on the stage, then laughed softly, and young voices came from under the masks and black robe hoods.
"Still asking? Didn't you see that the supreme Lord of the Black Tide has appeared?"
"Oh my god, please don't call me sir, you look older than my dad..."
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do you think we followed the secret society to Scott? Do I think my life is too long? It was the secret society that made me go from an ordinary farmer to a knight with extraordinary powers!"
"Why would I lie to you? Am I bored? Have you ever seen our secret society bully anyone since we entered the city? We are all ordinary people..."
"Bishop Sharro never lied. As for this new bishop... I have never met him, but he certainly won't lie either."
With the tacit consent of Sarah and Roger.
The young people in the churches began to chat with the people.
It seemed that all of a sudden, the solid "high wall" that separated the civilians and the extraordinary people collapsed...
One ball a day!
