What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.

Irina glanced at the ordinary people running around in panic on the street, then looked at the surrounding buildings that were not seriously damaged, and said with a little relief in her tone:

"Fortunately, the damage caused by this earthquake was not very serious."

Hearing Irina's words, Eros withdrew his gaze from the ordinary people running towards home and said in a calm voice:

"Because this is the city center, most of the people living here are wealthy middle-class people, rich people, or nobles."

"Their houses are of relatively good quality, which is why they were saved from this earthquake."

"And those houses built by workers and poor people with bricks at random have been soaked by the heavy rain for half a month. Do you think they can survive this round of earthquake?"

Irina was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Won't that mean a lot of people will die?"

After asking this question, Irina realized that her question was a bit redundant.

She fell silent.

Eros did not answer this question, but changed the subject:

"Do you think there's something unusual about these two disasters?"

"It's a heavy rain that caused floods, and an earthquake. Although this kind of thing has happened in Haidaram before, isn't it a bit too coincidental that these two disasters happened at the same time?"

After hearing Eros' question, Irina thought about it for a moment and then had the same doubts as Eros.

It is well known that there are no coincidences in the mysterious world, which means...

"Could this be related to the big event that will happen in Haidaram next? A prelude?" Irina guessed.

"event……"

Eros muttered silently to himself, and many speculations instantly emerged in his mind.

The next known major events include the Abyss Cult's unknown plot involving divinity, and the Scarlet Cult's ceremony for advancement to Sequence 1.

Could the heavy rain a few days ago and this earthquake be related to these two things?

The Earl of Beresford used the water on the road after the rain stopped to spread the original sin of greed.

But the original sin of greed that can spread by evaporation can spread even without heavy rain as long as it is spread on the road.

In other words, heavy rain actually has little to do with the spread of the original sin of greed.

What other damage did the previous rainstorm cause? It seemed that some buildings collapsed, and many ordinary people who had previously had jobs became homeless, but there seemed to be nothing else?

Oh yes, and it also caused the population of nearby towns to gather in Haidaram, increasing the number of homeless people in Haidaram.

An increase in the number of homeless people?

Thinking of this, Eros had a vague illusion that he was about to grasp something.

He repeated silently several times: "The number of homeless people has increased, the number of homeless people has increased..."

Looking at Eros who was obviously lost in thought, Irina did not disturb him, but just looked at Eros' profile quietly.

The noise, chaos and clamor around them seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them at this moment.

After a while, Eros, who had successfully caught that ray of spiritual light, let out a long sigh:

"I understand!"

"What did you understand?"

Irina showed an appropriate look of curiosity, satisfying Eros's desire to show off after he had figured things out thoroughly.

"They are intentionally gathering the nearby population to Haidaram." Eros' tone was very firm when he said this.

"The heavy rains washed away the land in the surrounding towns, forcing farmers to go to the city to find work in order to survive."

"This earthquake is no different. It has further destroyed houses in surrounding towns and villages, forcing ordinary people who originally had homes to become homeless and stranded in Haidaram."

“At the same time, it is also a drive to drive those who remain in the countryside after the heavy rain to Haidaram.”

"Although some people will die in the earthquake process, more people will obviously gather here."

"But why are they gathering the people from the surrounding towns to Haidaram?" Irina was puzzled.

Eros leaned back slightly, glanced at the pedestrians still running around in panic on the street, and said in a deep voice:

"The Scarlet Cult's Flesh and Blood Path's ceremony for advancement to Sequence 1 requires the promoted person to ascend the throne in the spotlight of the public."

"The ordinary people who gathered here are both spectators and sacrifices."

"The more spectators there are, the greater the chance of promotion. The more sacrifices there are, the higher the success rate of promotion."

Irina suddenly realized something, and then she said with some emotion:

"Fortunately, you notified the church in advance, so they arranged a reinforcement."

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the entire population of Haidaram and the surrounding towns will be turned into a ladder of flesh and blood to send the Scarlet Sect's leader to the throne. That's more than 10 million people.

She didn't say the latter sentence out loud, but just thought about it in her heart.

Although their family is hostile to the church, they have to admit that it is the church that has maintained the stability of the world over the past tens of thousands of years.

However, this does not affect their continued hostility towards the church, because this is a matter of stance and has nothing to do with good or evil.

After the ancestors return and judge those betrayers, they, the Dark Clan, will naturally take over the responsibilities of the church and maintain the stability of the world.

In the Second Era, this was their family's duty.

Hearing Irina's sigh, Eros did not speak. At this moment, he was still thinking about what the purpose of the Abyss Cult was.

It is now clear that the Scarlet Sect is gathering people to prepare for the promotion ceremony, but what about the Abyss Sect?

The Apostle of Jealousy had said that their purpose was to steal the sacrifice that the Scarlet Cult offered to the Blood-Red God, but what was their purpose in stealing that sacrifice?

Previously, Barbara and the others had guessed, based on the effect of life force, that the Abyss Cult wanted to create a carrier of mythical life to welcome the arrival of a mythical life from the abyss.

This speculation was later denied because the effort and reward were not proportional.

So Eros still doesn't quite understand what the Abyss Cult is doing.

Just when Eros was in deep doubt, Cynthia controlled Erza's body and returned to Eros.

Looking at Cynthia who had returned to his side, Eros suppressed his doubts and said to Irina:

"Let's go! Let's go to Youghal Street to do some disaster relief and do our part."

Youghal Street is close to the slums. After the earthquake, it is foreseeable that many houses there will collapse, and it is estimated that many people are trapped in the rubble.

Now that I have the power, I'll do my best.

The reason why he was going now was because he was waiting for Cynthia and Barbara to come back.

After all, they were going to inspect the Heavenly Chains, and there was a known Sequence 3 Greedy Agent nearby.

Although I believe Cynthia and Barbara will be fine, I still feel a little worried when I don't see them come back.

Eros took Irina and Cynthia's hands and walked towards an empty, remote corner.
