Chapter 545 63 Cultural Barrier (2)
"This is their war, we'd better not interfere. Read М"
Thinking of his childhood experience, Hans did not forget to remind his leader "Mergwen Waldorf". Although both of them were nobles, there were also huge differences in status between nobles.
Mergwen grew up in the prosperous Constantinople. She walked on the neatly decorated breadstone streets all day long, and all she saw were polite Roman citizens.
Hans dared to guarantee that this trip must be the first time in her life that the noble lady had seen such a large number of foreigners.
In the land of foreigners, applying the ideas of Byzantine nobles, trying to use their own moral values to interfere with the activities of the indigenous people. When he was young, Hans saw with his own eyes how his elder brother ruined a good thing with his passion.
Today, he must stop Mergwen from doing the same thing.
"But I just had a brief conversation with them. The child is only 15 years old this year, and his heart is full of fear."
"He mentioned to me vaguely that none of the people who participated in this war came back alive!"
Mergwen's answer caused two people in the caravan to look back involuntarily. One was Loki who was walking in front of him, and the other was Concubine Xue who was on the side.
It's just that the facial expressions of the two people were completely different.
At this time, Concubine Xue still hid her face under the gray scarf, making it impossible for others to observe.
But Loki showed some vigilance.
Three days ago, he hid on the beam with the wolf poison magic essence handed to him by Old Hash and overheard great intelligence.
It turned out that Heath Blanche was not the leader of this group of Roman merchants.
The role of issuing orders in the Legalist Action Team turned out to be one of the two "prostitutes" who were extremely low-key along the way, and even their names were not remembered by everyone.
They came from the Legalist school that controlled the Tang Dynasty in the East at this time.
The purpose of this operation was to infiltrate the Illuminati.
It is conceivable that they must have a more important mission.
It was for this reason that when Old Hash returned to the inn late at night, Loki did not tell him what he had heard on the beam.
It is true that this group of people is not as simple as their appearance.
But the real purpose of their trip does not conflict with the Hash caravan. For the dangerous mission they are going to perform, it is better for mortals like Old Hash who only want to live a stable life not to know.
In addition, Loki has two more gains.
After learning about the news of the eldest daughter from the mysterious mentor, Loki recalled the covenant he made with Nefertiti in the illusion of the sun.
According to the agreement between the two, after Sophie turns 18, he will follow the eldest daughter into the City of the Dead to find the true body of the female pharaoh left in the city.
If he keeps his promise, Sophie should be 18 years old in AD805.
And it is already AD810 at this time.
That night, he found Hans Wales, who was born into a noble family. This Welsh nobleman from New England really confirmed his guess.
Every Christmas, all high-ranking nobles of the "Kingdom of Normandy" must enter the royal city to meet the king.
This king is naturally Loki himself.
Hans Wales' title naturally cannot see the King of Paris. However, his father did mention on some occasions that the former Lord of Wessex, Ecbert, has been in charge of the government in recent years.
In other words, this is not his first time in the desert.
He is very likely to have been wandering in this yellow sand Jedi for 5 years!
(In this way, the journey with Sophie to find the City of the Dead must not be smooth. Otherwise, why did she become a Styx priest secretly serving the Legalist School after 5 years)
(And I woke up in the center of the yellow sand after losing my memory?)
(What did I experience in these five years?)
At this juncture, any information may hide the secret of his amnesia for him. Therefore, the unconscious complaint from Mergwen successfully attracted his attention.
Loki spent most of his life leading the team and going out to fight. He was familiar with wars of all sizes as if they were the back of his hand.
There is no war in the world with a 100% casualty rate.
No matter how fierce the battle is, there will inevitably be sporadic survivors returning home. If what the young man on the carriage said was true, I am afraid that the battle ahead is definitely not a simple one.
Loki turned his horse around.
Most of the people in the caravan also understood that the identity of this white man was not simple. Everyone stepped aside and made way for him.
"My little brother, have you ever seen me on any occasion?"
Mergwen translated his question, and the boy looked at his face in confusion, and finally shook his head in confusion.
"The second question, when did the Styx priests start to recruit people from the Scorpion Tribe?"
The boy frowned and thought for a moment, then uttered a string of unfamiliar words.
After hearing this, Mergwen turned around and translated "five years ago."
(Five years)
(Why does this time point sound so familiar?)
(This mysterious girl from East Land seems to have been born only five years ago!)
(According to the time point, it should be exactly five years since I entered this desert!)
(All these scattered clues seem to be connected a little bit.)
"Has anyone who has never left come back?"
"No"
Mergwen continued to translate.
The casualty rate was 100%. This didn't look like a war from any angle. If we had to compare it, it was more like leading them to die in batches.
The high-level priests in the Poisonous Scorpion Tribe are certainly not vegetarians.
Young people in the city left one after another, and no one returned, but the city's rulers still indulged in this behavior.
No matter how you think about it, this is unreasonable.
Unless the ruling class knows what is going on behind the scenes!
They knew the answer but deliberately chose to hide it.
Knowing that all his subordinates will die, he still sends them there unswervingly. There is most likely a greater danger hidden behind this!
Where does the danger come from?
Where will it lead everyone?
His eyes returned to Mo Kui, and he looked again at the Donglu girl sitting behind him.
The answers to all the questions on this journey seem to come down to this mysterious girl again.
He had a vague premonition that he would get the answer at the Mbia Oasis, the end of the caravan's journey.
The impetuous feeling gradually dissipated, and the clues he regained made his mind clear. Loki looked at Mergwen and the bachelors behind him, and said seriously
"Information to all bachelors, please do not wander around after entering the oasis. Gaining knowledge is important, but you must first ensure that you retain your life."
"Back then, your sister followed me on my adventure to the far north. She achieved the status she has today precisely because she followed me firmly and never left even a step from the beginning to the end."
"After entering Mbia Oasis, please stop wandering around."
Halfway through his words, thinking of the frenzied state of these bachelors along the way, even Loki himself felt that this was almost impossible.
"Even if you have to leave, you should go together and keep yourself within the sight of your companions at all times."
The cold sense of crisis that he was so familiar with once again gripped him tightly.
At this moment, he finally understood that there is no such thing as "coincidence" in everything in the world!
In the middle of the desert where he woke up after losing his memory, he met Old Harsh and then rescued the girl from the Eastern Continent after a battle.
All of this was arranged in advance!
After leaving the city of Memphis, Heath Blanche and the maids and guards around him were faithfully carrying out the disguises they needed to wear. If it hadn't been for hanging on the rafters like a corpse last night. He couldn't see through the disguises carried by these Byzantine businessmen at all!
If such a strange thing is happening in the Mbia Oasis, it seems that even if the bachelors enter the caravan, someone else has already been behind it.
The chief bachelors can see the current situation clearly and know that the city will inevitably have a war with the church for power in the future.
Can the maesters see it clearly? Can the Holy Episcopal Church, which has fought against various heresies in other churches for hundreds of years and defeated all its competitors to sit at the top, see it?
Definitely not!
Everyone in the world knows how powerful the Illuminati is, but they don’t know that under the scorching sun, the Holy Episcopal Church, which has tens of millions of believers, also has tremendous energy.
This time the bachelors entered the Black Desert, I am afraid that they used their plan to plant a powerful medicine for the bachelors.
A Legalist believer disguised as a businessman, a bachelor of ancient civilization from the Byzantine Kingdom, a girl from the Eastern Continent, and himself who has lost his memory.
Everyone in this caravan seems to have come together by coincidence.
But in fact, everyone is prey in the eyes of a giant!
