Countless people witnessed the disaster that occurred in the Beinz area at that time, and the devastating scene and the violent eldest son have been unstoppably spread throughout the world, but the truth behind this incident—including how the whole incident was calmed down - but only a small number of people knew about it, and among the small number of people, only those who were present at the time knew the full story.
Of course this includes Ofra and Elson.
Now the Holleta Kingdom has successfully blocked a lot of news that is not suitable for spreading, and carefully fabricated the part that can be spread, and carefully pushed it to the restless public who are eager to know the facts by the national public opinion machine. It must be admitted that this approach is good for most people: the royal family needs the stability of the country, the church needs the faithful believers, and the common people just need someone to tell them that tomorrow's life will be as usual. Everyone just needs to know what they need to know, and the world will continue to be safe. And the catastrophic truth will naturally be dealt with by people who have enough courage to face everything, such as a big hero or a team of protagonists, or a 25-person land reclamation group that fell from somewhere... Anyway, it is almost such people.
Elson led Hao Ren and his party along the rugged mountain road in the Dragon's Back Mountains to the nearest Knights' garrison, talking about what he knew as they walked: "The incident in Beinz Parish was an invasion of evil gods, an ancient evil god Bewitched some pagans, invaded the most sacred place in the world, polluted the Twisted Woodland, and made it into a monster. But the pious Archbishop Girton and a group of enlightened missionaries received revelation from the goddess in advance, The innocent people were evacuated in time. The power of the goddess then descended in person, ending the evil god and its ugly minions. Archbishop Girton and all those who died in the event were listed as saints or martyred heroes. To die bravely under command—that's how it happened."
"It's the version that's open to the public," Vivienne smacked her lips, "it's similar to the tone of those people on Earth back then..."
"The people need a 'truth' that will put them to sleep, and believe me, they prefer this version of the story to the real situation." The old werewolf laughed hoarsely, "Both the king and the archbishop know what really happened that day. They have been discussing about the 'Eldest Son' in the capital for a while, and there are piles of complaints in the magic text messages sent by Ofra every day."
"I don't care about this. It's something that politicians should deal with anyway." Hao Ren shrugged. "How do you explain that crater? And the crystal forest below it... That several kilometers deep pit is definitely not a natural phenomenon."
Elson nodded: "Of course it's not a natural phenomenon, it's a 'miracle'. The goddess praised the brave martyrs who died that day, and then gave power to reward mortals. She used divine power to create a crystal forest in one breath. The forest The crystals in it are a new type of magical ore—the magisters are not sure whether those ores are useful, but they do have many magical properties, so the church's statement holds water. Now the Tower School and the Academy School are both The best magisters were sent, and the Kingdom and the Church built large laboratories at the bottom of the crater to study what the crystals could be used for. They will figure it out—they must figure it out."
"Looks like next time I can't casually shoot at your planet, I'm an old man who is actually connected with a goddess by you..." Hao Ren said with a delicate expression, "I really deserve to be a public opinion... The Huiyao Sect made up these nonsense They really just opened their mouths. Then how do they explain that the holy lake is not protected, but was bombarded by the "goddess" herself... Well, you don't need to say it. I know it must be explained to the miracle."
Elson smiled wordlessly, then raised his finger and pointed to the camp not far away: "This is the knights station closest to the main peak, in order to be able to sense you and join you at the first time. My troops and I have been Stay here. Don't talk to ordinary soldiers casually after you go in, those people don't know about you."
"By the way, Ophra has gone back long ago? How is the overall situation in Holleta now? Have the Knights of the Kingdom and the Knights of the Church been guarding here?" Lily asked casually from the side. Before she could finish her sentence, Becky who was next to her came over excitedly: There is also a fan of the marshal, the one who can change her orientation immediately when Ovra gives an order.
The old werewolf cautiously lowered his voice: "I have to make a statement. Many things are not because I don't want to say, but because they are sensitive. Only Ofra can decide how much I trust you. As for Ofra... I will leave after that day Returning to the capital, she, and the surviving archbishops of the diocese, will go back and report to the king and the pope what happened here. The two knight orders have blocked the Dragon's Back Mountain Range since that day. Now this is not only a holy place, but also a Forbidden area. It is still a dangerous area—some wandering boulder guards occasionally appear on the mountain road, and we have to clean them from time to time. The pope and the king jointly issued an order to prohibit ordinary mercenaries and adventurers from entering the mountain range. On the one hand, it is to protect the mountain. The secret, on the other hand, is the protection of…”
Vivienne interjected: "Protect the Crystal Forest, right? I know, it might soon become a strategic resource."
Hao Ren was a little speechless when he heard this: "Isn't it just a pile of glass scum, I can help if you really want it, you all make room for it, I'll bomb it from the sky, I can blow it up for you in four or four beats Eight million square kilometers of mineral veins come out... "
Before Hao Ren finished speaking, the data terminal muttered leisurely in his mind: "In that case, you will not be far away from being shot—and it is a small probability that a crystal forest will be shot in one shot, right? It doesn't happen every time. Trigger a chain reaction without harming the geology."
Hao Ren complained in his mind: "Hey, I understand the rules, I'm just bragging about it, do you have to be serious with me?"
"Who made you fucking willing to be serious with a PDA!"
Hao Ren: "..."
Hao Ren felt that arguing with his tablet all day long was a great tragedy in life, and the saddest thing was that he couldn't quarrel with it...
As for the old werewolf Walson, he obviously didn't take Hao Ren's words seriously, he just smiled: "It's better not to have something like that day happen again, I'm getting old, and I might not be able to bear it once or twice. "
"That depends on whether the remaining two eldest sons can be dealt with well." Hao Ren pouted, "Have the other two eldest sons been found?"
"The entrance to the secret room has been found, and the king is organizing people to find a way to safely open the inner door of the secret room, but there is not much progress at present," Elson nodded, "The specific situation will wait until you see Ophra. Just ask, it’s really inconvenient for me to reveal too much.”
When Elson mentioned the "eldest son", he was obviously worried. Obviously, he, a veteran general who had experienced many battles, was unwilling to face such an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, who was almost like a natural disaster. This group of "foreigners" would have to pay a terrible price if they were willing to help: the completely destroyed Beinz Parish is an example.
Seeing the gloomy expression on the old werewolf's face, Hao Ren didn't say much.
He didn't dare to tell the other party that the mature eldest son was even more terrifying than what he saw that day: the tentacle monster in Beinz parish had experienced a long sleep, and it hadn't grown out from its size, even at that time Without revealing his soul form hidden under the material world, he was destroyed. However, on the planet Tanagus, there is an eldest son who is full of food and drink and is fully mature. Such an eldest son was sleeping under the crust of the tower. Apart from asking Raven 12345 to do it himself, Hao Ren would have no way to save life on this planet.
Elson took the group to the resting place, and briefly informed the next arrangement: "I will tell Ophra the news through magic transmission when I go back, and then how are you going to meet her? Use your magic Space magic... Or prepare some carriages for you? It is best not to use the military's teleportation array, and before meeting with Ophra, your actions should be low-key."
When Becky heard "magical space magic", she jumped up immediately: "Don't! The landlord has crazy hands!"
Hao Ren was not happy at the time: "Just say it once or twice. As for talking about my hand tide all day long, and how many times have you teleported on Earth?"
Becky stuck out her tongue: "Oh, it's hard to go back to my hometown, and I can read the classic lines back then to find my feeling."
"Do you have a high-definition map, with altitude and a precise scale?" Hao Ren took out the data terminal from his pocket, "We can convert the coordinates of the fuzzy transmission according to the map. It is possible to discuss places with fewer people, so that we can be in different places. Contact Ophra first if it attracts attention, we have some confidential matters to discuss."
