How to become a mermaid

Chapter 387 The Immortal Edwin

Crescent Cathedral, underground.

This is Edwin's lair, and it is also where his real body exists.

There are several nutrition cabins in the dark room, most of them are empty, only the middle one is still in use.

Edwin was lying there, and was about to wake up from his deep sleep.

In the silent darkness, Edwin's eyelids trembled violently twice, and they opened suddenly.

A pair of blue-gray eyes began to move around, as if observing the surrounding situation.

However, all he could see was darkness.

There were no believers who greeted him, and there were no dresses and crowns prepared for him.

Nothing, as if he had been abandoned.

Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Edwin's eyes.

Why no one?Where is the high priest?

Didn't you agree to wake him up early?

The high priest of the Sacred Fire Cult can be said to be Edwin's old buddy. The two founded the Sacred Fire Cult together. They have worked together for so many years and have done a lot of bad things together.

Those things that Edwin was inconvenient to manage were managed by the high priest, so Edwin trusted him a lot and knew that he would not easily break his promise.

He hasn't come to find him until now, there must be something wrong with him!
"Damn Carlos! At such an important juncture, I have a problem!" Thinking of this, Edwin let out an angry curse, and struggled to get up.

He is neither crippled nor paralyzed. He will lie here forever, not unable to move, but afraid to move.

Samantel and the others guessed right, Edwin was cursed with accelerated aging.

He should have died more than 1000 years ago, but he was unwilling to die like this, and insisted on relying on the nutrition cabin to continuously deliver nourishment and vital substances to himself, and he stubbornly survived until now.

If he left this nutrition cabin, without the support of these nutrients, his body would rapidly age within a few days, turning into a decayed skeleton that would fall apart at the touch of a finger.

No, not to mention leaving, even if the physical activity is more intense, there will be signs of aging because the supply cannot keep up with the consumption.

Therefore, he can only lie like this all the time, let his body temporarily fall into a deep sleep, transfer his soul to other clones, and do things around to find a solution to the curse on his body.

Going to the North Pole to find the potion of immortality was a plan, but he failed.

Finding a way to push yourself into a god position is another plan, and it will succeed.

But... Now there's another flaw!
After so many years of planning, there was a problem at the critical moment of completion, which made him not in a hurry.

At this moment, Edwin didn't even care about whether his body would age or not, so he just crawled out of the nutrition cabin!
His right hand tapped a few times in the air, drawing a pattern similar to the symbol of the Holy Fire Cult.

"Carlos! Where are you now, answer me immediately!"

Not long after, a figure in a white robe floating in the air appeared in front of Edwin.

Seeing Edwin standing next to the training cabin, the man named Carlos had a surprised look on his face, "Master Edwin! Why did you get up by yourself?"

"It's not your fault!" Hearing his words, Edwin's face darkened, and he asked sharply, "What's the problem outside now? Why didn't you come to me at the stipulated time!"

"This..." Carlos had a hesitant look on his face.

Seeing his reaction, Edwin was even more convinced that there was a big problem with his plan, and said in a deep voice, "Carlos! Don't try to hide it from me!"

At this point, Carlos no longer concealed it, and said to Edwin: "It's Digea's gang! They destroyed the Founding Day celebration."

"What is the specific situation, you will find out with me!"

An invisible passage appeared in the air, and the figure of Edwin and Carlos disappeared instantly.

……

Mayan Empire, the main city.

A city that had been brimming with festive cheer just an hour ago had completely changed.

In front of almost every church of the Holy Fire Church, a large crowd of protesting people surrounded them.

They were angry, growling, and stood in front of the church with red faces, wanting the Holy Fire to teach them an explanation.

"Let those Holy Children come out! We want to see the Holy Children!"

"They are not holy children, they are all monsters! Monsters!"

"Holy Fire Cult is a liar church! You have lied to us! Even the whole country has lied to us!"

"Give me back my son, I don't believe he will be like in the picture, you guys give me back my well-behaved and sensible son!"

A burst of loud shouts spread to the bell tower of the church, and at the same time passed into Edwin's ears. He heard an unknown fire in his heart, and cursed at the congregation behind him: "You people! You idiot, how did you let things develop like this!"

"Early when they started to make trouble, they should all be arrested and escorted to the church!"

"One counts as one, don't let go of all those involved in the trouble!"

The emperor of the Mayan Empire, Olivier, was also among this group of congregants.

Hearing Edwin's words, he showed an ugly expression on his face, and said, "There are too many people. If they are all captured, the whole country may be in chaos!"

Edwin turned his head sharply, and asked sharply, "Do you think it's not messy enough now?"

"Use your pig brains to think about it! It's because of your hesitation that things have turned into the current situation!"

"Before the matter reaches a point of no return, immediately send someone to suppress them! Take all these rioters to the church forcibly!"

"Whether they like it or not, they must all turn into fanatics tonight! We can't wait a moment!"

Hearing Edwin's scolding, the expression on Olivier's face became even uglier, and he couldn't help retorting: "Mr. Edwin, this idea is too radical!"

"In addition to the rioters, there are other people who have also seen those images. If we take compulsory measures, those people will also start to question the Mayan government, and the whole country will fall into panic!"

"Then let them panic!" Edwin said bluntly.

There was a disdainful expression on his face, like looking at a group of ants, looking down on the troubled people below, "Apart from panic, what else can these people do? They are just a bunch of ordinary people!"

Ordinary people are just tools to provide faith to Edwin, and have no value other than that.

In this extraordinary world with disparity in military power, there is a world of difference between the fighting power of the people and the extraordinary. Even if they all unite to resist, they will not cause much harm to the Holy Fire Cult.

It's best to be able to hide these people calmly, and it doesn't matter if he can't hide it, as long as he succeeds in ascension to the god position, those people will naturally "forget" this matter completely.

"If they start to be hostile to the government, there will be taxation in the future, and various decrees..." Olivier said hesitantly.

He is not only a supporter of the Holy Fire Cult, but also the emperor of this country. What needs to be considered is not only the interests of the Holy Fire Cult, but also his own interests.

It is true that the people cannot overthrow the government, but after the country loses its credibility, future development will be very difficult.

Sensing that Olivier was still refusing, Edwin narrowed his eyes slightly and his face sank.

He threatened: "Olivier! Don't forget who is responsible for your ability to sit on the throne of the Mayan Empire!"

"Compared to your brother, you are far behind!"

Such straightforward disdain directly made Olivier's face turn pale.

Olivier is not the first in line heir to the Mayan Empire, and there is an elder brother who is several times better than him.

In order to compete for the throne with his elder brother who is better than himself in all aspects, he will have a relationship with the Holy Fire Cult.

The result was naturally successful, but it also made him unable to get rid of the shackles of the Holy Fire Cult, and became a grasshopper on the same rope with them.

"It's meaningless to mention that dead man now, I'm the emperor of the Mayan Empire!" Squeezing out the words through his teeth, Olivier's eyes became cold, and he said to Edwin: "Since Edwin Mr. Wen is so confident, then do as you say!"

"But please don't forget your promise, even if you are as powerful as a god, you will still be punished if you break your vow!"

"Of course! As long as I succeed in becoming a god, I will definitely keep my promise and help Maya unify the entire Feidnan Continent!" Edwin said with certainty.

"Okay!" Hearing his words, Olivier took a deep breath and finally made up his mind: "I will order the guards to suppress the troublemakers now!"

Not only Olivier, but the congregation behind Edwin also understood what he meant, and said one after another: "Master Edwin, we will notify the priests to prepare for conversion now!"

Edwin waved his hand impatiently, signaling them to get out of his sight.

Soon, only Edwin and Carlos were left on the scene.

"Di Geya's action this time is not accidental. They must have discovered our plan today before they will take action!" Pointing to the dense crowd of protesters below, Edwin said in a firm tone.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Carlos at the side, and asked, "Have you ever thought about how this plan was leaked?"

In fact, what made Edwin most angry was not the riots caused by the crowd, but the plan to be noticed by Di Geya in advance.

This means that Di Geya has the means to monitor their movements, or that there are traitors among them!

Either way, it will be very detrimental to the Holy Fire Cult's next actions.

Hearing Edwin's question, Carlos thought for a while before answering: "The news about converting believers on the Founding Day is only available to the emperors of Feidenan's continent and a few members of the Sacred Fire Cult. The higher ups know."

"The priests and nuns in charge of managing the church were not informed of the news until the day before the founding day."

"Either Digea has unknown detection methods, or..." At this point, the high priest paused, looked up at Edwin's face, saw that he didn't seem to be angry, and then continued: "Or there are other countries on the mainland colluding with Di Geya secretly!"

"Hmph!" A muffled grunt came from Edwin's mouth.

Regarding Carlos' statement, he neither objected nor agreed.

Standing on the bell tower, he looked down at the crowd below who were gradually restoring order under the suppression of the army, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the situation is, Di Geya's little tricks can only stop here!"

"When I use the brain-eating horseshoe crab to control those believers and let them provide me with beliefs non-stop, within a month, I will be able to successfully open the first step of ascending to the gods."

"At that time, it's time for me to liquidate the bugs in the north!"

Hearing Edwin say such firm words, Carlos's mind suddenly flashed the rally a few days ago.

The reason for the sharp drop in faith received in the past few days has not yet been found out.

Even not only the Maya, but also similar situations in other countries.

In case it is the same after that...

Thinking of this, Carlos trembled in his heart, feeling bad.

He hesitated to tell Edwin about it, but was interrupted by Edwin's next words.

"Carlos! I'll leave it to you first! I'm going to check the status of the female worm now."

"Before midnight, I want to see all the turmoil subside, and there can be no more mistakes, do you understand?"

"Yes! Lord Edwin!" Hearing what he said, Carlos could only nod and say yes, swallowing what he wanted to say.

After assigning tasks, the two left one after another.

After they left, a palm-sized black spider hung down from the ceiling of the clock tower.

Looking at the direction in which the two disappeared, a gleam of humanity flashed in the six small eyes of the black spider.

A spider with glowing eyes is certainly not an ordinary spider!
That's right, it's a Sandman Lyle spider!

After the video recorded by the blond man was released to the entire Feidnan Continent, Samantel used a magical conch to test the effect and turned into a local spider of the Mayan Empire.

When Edwin and the others were talking just now, he had been lying on the spider web on the ceiling and listening quietly.

When he heard their speculation about the reason for the information leak, Shaman Lear was overjoyed, and his body shook twice unconsciously, almost falling off the spider web.

Fortunately, he stabilized, otherwise he would have hit that old bastard Edwin on the head.

It is estimated that even if Edwin wanted to break his head, he would not have thought that Shamanlell obtained information by such a simple and unpretentious method of face-to-face wiretapping.

His arrogance, as well as his contempt for all creatures except human beings, caused the current situation where the enemy was clearly in front of him, but he didn't know it.

"XuXu...XuXu..." Samantel climbed onto the railing of the clock tower and observed the crowd below for a while.

He was a little disappointed when he saw that the rioters were arrested and those who fled were completely controlled by the army sent by Olivier.

Forget it, I didn't expect these unarmed common people to cause much trouble, as long as they can let them know that the Holy Fire Cult is not a good thing.

He began to slowly climb down the wall, intending to go to the church to occupy a good position in advance, and observe the conversion scene of believers up close.

　Didn’t I say that I wanted to eat dumplings a few days ago, and I ate them today, hehehe~

　　Homemade, it smells great!
