Chapter 192 The Great Fire
"observe."

Kana said.

Soon, the night watchmen found some charred bodies from different places.

They squatted on the ground and observed the bodies.

Soon the captain returned.

He said directly: "It is basically certain that this is the work of cultists.

If nothing unexpected happens, many people in this village may be followers of the evil god."

"How did you determine that?" Alicia asked curiously.

The captain looked at Kana, and when Kana nodded, he explained.

"To distinguish whether it's the work of a cultist, the most important thing to pay attention to is the sense of ritual."

"Sense of ritual?" Lawrence was a little confused.

He had never heard of such a word.

But Alicia seemed to understand something.

“Most of the things that cultists do are ritualistic, because they feel that they are offering sacrifices to the evil gods they believe in.

Of course, not all cultists are like this. If they are followers of some special evil gods, their sacrifices will be like a madman's killing."

At least most of the evil gods' followers' actions can be analyzed according to this logic.

Of course, there is a high possibility of copycat crimes, but it will not happen now.

"If it's obvious, we should find some markings. For cultists, the markings representing their respective evil gods are very important."

This can actually be found in almost every tragedy committed by the evil god.

Sometimes when it is impossible to worship a specific image of an evil god, a symbol is the best abstract reference.

Otherwise, for a large number of cultists, it would be difficult for them to form a faith without something of their own.

"We recovered some bodies from the rubble, and there was no obvious sign of a struggle.

There are only two possible scenarios: one: they were knocked unconscious by something special, or two: they volunteered.”

"In the first case, many of the bodies were found in unusual death postures, and if this were the case, the cultists would usually gather these people together.

The second situation is that they voluntarily sacrifice themselves, which is not uncommon among followers of evil gods, and is even very common."

After hearing the captain's explanation.

Popot asked, "Then we can't be sure which evil god it is?"

Kana and the others didn't do nothing in the town.

Kana has labeled almost all the evil gods that will appear at this stage and described the forms they will take.

Every night watchman must know this information.

If you want to become a captain, you can't just think about it. In addition to strength, you also need knowledge in this area.

The captain shook his head.

"It doesn't fit our impression of any fire-related evil god. It's more like other evil god believers sacrificing themselves in this way."

Hearing this, Kana fell into deep thought.

Look at Alicia.

Alicia was a little surprised at this time. At least these Night Watchmen showed more professionalism than the people of the Church of Holy Light.

After all, before this, most of the cultists the Church of Holy Light faced were almost undisguised.

Over the past few hundred years, many cultists haven't even understood what they believe in. More often than not, what they believe in is something that doesn't exist, but is simply packaged with magic.

It's just that in recent years, these cultists have begun to believe in some evil beings that can actually give them power.

Alicia felt Cana's gaze and turned her head.

Kana asked, "You mentioned earlier that there are multiple cults in Rubek now. Can you describe their respective styles of operation?"

Alicia nodded.

"The first thing we discovered was that the cultists who were spreading the disease among the refugees were the same kind we had encountered before.

Because we discovered it early and we have some understanding of it, we carried out targeted destruction, but those cultists have not been completely eliminated."

This was obviously a follower of the [Rotten Lord] that Kana and the others had met before.

"Then, almost at the same time, we discovered a cult that enjoyed cruel skinning and beheading rituals. They were all warlike lunatics."

They had also met him before, and he could be considered an old acquaintance of his, a follower of the Lord of the Bone Skull.

Alicia then frowned and said, "The next two were only recently discovered, and we are not sure whether they are caused by believing in an unknown evil god.

One of them stemmed from a murder between nobles, a murder that had too many problems. One of the people involved in the conspiracy had a strange form on his body and was restrained by the Holy Light.

The last one, which I discovered a few days ago, was a man and a woman hugging each other, their bodies almost melted into one, but their expressions were full of happiness.

It turned out to be these four.

The world outside is so vast, so there are naturally a lot of disgusting evil gods.

But just as the world is located in different positions in the starry sky, the territories of these evil gods are also in different places.

And there is basically only one kind of harassment from evil beliefs that every world will encounter.

That's the devil.

The demons brought by the abyss harass almost all worlds equally.

It is a fly that covers the entire astral realm.

And around this world.

There are three evil gods who are close enough to each other, which means that when problems arise in this world, these three evil gods will be very happy to cast their power into this world.

Want to get a piece of the pie from the destruction of this world.

In addition, there is the Abyss Lord, [Lord of the Bone Skull], who has been eyeing this world for a long time.

These four evil gods became the evil gods that appeared most frequently in the early days of this world.

Even though more and more evil gods have turned their attention here in the later period, these four evil gods still have the greatest influence.

The one near the water should get the moon first.

For example, the black and red flame that once caused Abis to be half dead was also the power of an evil god.

It’s just that this evil god is far away from this world.

If the power had not been stolen by a former alchemist through special methods, he would not have noticed this place.

These four evil gods are relatively close to this world, and it can be said that they began to pay attention to this world thousands of years ago.

After all, for the astral realm, this world has almost been marked as dead.

After all, we are on the road to the [Void].

[Void] does not care about anything other than what is on its way forward.

For the evil gods, this kind of world that is about to fall into destruction is their favorite.

Because the world is filled with a lot of negative emotions, and they can also gain a lot of power and more powerful believers from it.

In the almost imminent doomsday, believing in evil gods seems to be a less bad option.

In such a world.

The power and tentacles of the evil gods can be said to be spreading wantonly.

Because these four evil gods are close to each other and closer to this world, they have dealt with each other before and even fought with each other when they were outside.

A millennium barrier for the world to save itself.

As a result, these four evil gods were unable to influence the world early on.

And as the barrier is destroyed, the void is about to descend.

This forced the four evil gods to cooperate with each other, put aside their previous opposition, and begin to invade the world together.

After all, they don't have much time left to reap the harvest.

If we continue to fight against each other, we will end up with nothing.

In this way, they erode the world tacitly and in unspoken agreement.

Think of this.

Kana said directly: "This kind of sacrifice is not a sacrifice to a certain god, but a sacrifice through such evil power, which affects the surrounding environment.

Through this kind of sacrifice, the evil gods can release more of their power into this world, allowing their followers to wreak havoc."

After saying this, Kana asked, "What is your goal with these cultists?"

However, Alicia could only shake her head. "The previous crackdown has forced many cultists into hiding. They're hiding in refugee camps. As for the refugee camps... we're somewhat helpless. They don't welcome our searches."

This will bring many obstacles and even trigger already accumulated conflicts, causing even greater problems.”

At this point in time, it won't be long before they can regain their lost territory.

There's no point in setting off a powder keg.

Once the lost land is recovered, these conflicts will disappear and the refugees will be able to return to their homes and farm again.

Now the most important thing is to maintain peace and stability.

"Perhaps we can start now?" Lawrence said, then explained, "This afternoon I will begin distributing the food that has been transported to the refugees, and will also inform them that the kingdom will soon be sending troops to reclaim the lost territory.

At least this will calm their nerves a little and prevent them from getting into the situation they are in now."

If such a thing were done by other people, it would not carry such weight, but if Lawrence, as the prince of the kingdom, did it personally, it would be easy to convince the common people below.

"At that time, the church can travel among the refugee camps in the name of healing, and through the name of healing, understand the hidden problems there."

After hearing Lawrence's idea, Alicia nodded in agreement. This idea sounded feasible.

Since the method is feasible.

Everyone took action immediately.

Popot couldn't help but say, "But didn't the night watchmen who entered the refugee camp yesterday already target a large portion of the cultists?"

Because of the map, the hidden cultists became extremely conspicuous to the Night's Watch.

In just one night, the night watchmen sent in discovered a large number of cultists and marked them.

If you open the map now, you can still see red dots popping up from time to time among the refugees.

The total number is outrageous.

"It's not that simple. Their actions will alert the cultists and make them panic.

After all, these cultists were just refugees before and were not very professional.

With such a move, they will definitely reveal their weaknesses or even gather together, so that we can find out where they are gathering.

Determine the location of these cultists as quickly as possible so that they can be captured in one fell swoop."

Kana and the others felt a little bored at this time.

After all, the action mainly requires Lawrence and members of the Holy Light Church to act.

Kana and his people had already entered the refugee camp.

The Night's Watch was temporarily disbanded, allowing them to move freely in the city.

Kana took a few people and strolled on the street.

"What form would be better for the Night's Watch to build a stronghold?" Looking at the situation around him, Lurek couldn't help but ask himself.

Kana had already thought about this.

"Of course it's the tavern. Nothing is easier to build a base than a tavern." Kana said directly.

At this time, there is no doubt that taverns exist in almost every city.

Pubs will attract a large number of idle people in society, which will lead to a mixed crowd in the pubs.

If someone is willing to run the tavern well, some wealthy businessmen or less popular nobles will also be among them.

This will lead to more confusion, and intelligence will be exchanged from time to time.

This is a very good construction point for the Night's Watch who need to hide in various places.

And most taverns sometimes also function as hotels.

Hearing Kana's words, everyone looked at him.

"Will it work?" Popot asked with some doubt.

After all, it’s not easy to keep a pub open.

It can be said that every tavern in the city is closely related to the construction of this city.

It's not easy to build a pub.

"Have you forgotten? We have dwarves, plenty of food, and a guild of commerce that will be established later."

The probability of opening a pub by combining these three elements can be said to be greatly increased.

"No wine is more gratifying than the dwarven wine, especially the beer that the lower classes like to drink."

Of course, the elves' wine is good, but you have to know that no one can afford it except the nobles.

"The Gray Mountain Dwarves have the skills to brew wine, and the Halflings can provide enough food, as well as excellent recipes and cooking skills. The Chamber of Commerce's transportation routes can deliver these to taverns everywhere."

The more Lurek spoke, the brighter his eyes became.

Getari couldn't help but say, "Then the night watchman in charge of the stronghold, can't he drink as much as he wants?"

For a moment he became a little excited, as if he had begun to imagine the future.

"You wish." Popot said without hesitation.

Cana smiled and said, "But if every tavern had a dwarf, it would indeed make the tavern's dwarven beer more authentic, wouldn't it?"

This is indeed very reasonable.

For ordinary civilians, no advertisement could be better than the fact that there was actually a dwarf working in the tavern.

It would be even better if it was the boss. After all, dwarves are known for their stubborn tempers, but they rarely do anything deceptive.

This is the best billboard.

Everyone was chatting as they walked, and had even started discussing where in the city would be best to build a tavern.

The discussion became increasingly heated, and Kana had to interrupt them: "While the idea is great, our primary target right now is still those cultists."

in the afternoon.

Lawrence has already started to take action.

At the prince's command.

The nobles in the city also had to give out some food.

It was cooked into porridge and distributed in the refugee camps.

A bowl of hot porridge made the refugee camp bustle.

The refugees even started fighting, forcing the guards to maintain order, which took a long time.

Aliris, who was standing behind Kana, couldn't help but say, "This prince seems a little immature."

But he looks a little older than Your Highness.

“But he’s got potential, doesn’t he?” Cana said with a smile.

Then the hot porridge began to be distributed.

The refugees began to line up.

Some people from the Church of Holy Light also began to move around in the refugee camps. It has to be said that most of these refugees still have faith in the Church of Holy Light.

Seeing them coming, some refugees even started praying.

Faced with the questions asked by these church members while they were being treated, some refugees answered everything they knew.

Everything is good when there is hope.

The action soon caused a commotion among the cultists among the refugees.

Kana could see all kinds of red dots on the map, constantly moving across the map and then gathering in small piles.

After gathering, they dispersed and were distributed in different places.

"It seems the operation went smoothly," said George.

These cultists never dreamed that their every move was being seen clearly.

They thought they were hiding well and gathered everywhere.

Until night falls.

The church members and the shop distributing hot porridge then dispersed.

Although there are still many refugees who have not been received, the prince promised to continue tomorrow.
