Old days in the box

Chapter 108 A war using believers as pawns

While there was a fierce conflict in the alley, Freya had already run back to Fountain Square.

Thanks to the timely instructions of the Son of the Old One, she ran out just in time before the church surrounded the entrance to the alley, and retreated directly towards the Fountain Square without being discovered by the church.

At this time, she looked from the corner of the square to the entrance of the dark alley. A dozen steam carriages with black lampposts raised formed a blue curtain, blocking the view inside, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening in the alley. .

A large number of pedestrians from the square and surrounding streets gathered around, pointing and pointing as if they were watching the excitement.

These Europeans were obviously used to the round-ups of the Church of the God of Raging Waves, and did not feel overly alarmed.

"Freya, what did you just see?" At this time, the voice of the Son of the Old continued to fall from the air, echoing above her head.

"That device was some kind of projection channel. My spirit was projected into an unfamiliar sea area, and I also saw a fish monster pretending to be a god."

"That monster read my memory, claimed to be the son of the past, and tried to confuse me. It ordered me to attack the people of the Church of the God of Raging Waves. It is simply disrespectful to you!"

Freya immediately answered to the sky, telling what she had just seen and heard in the mental projection.

A monster pretending to be a god?Someone who pretends to be me and then orders my followers to attack the Church of the God of Raging Waves?

According to this statement, not only Freya, but everyone who touches that device will be similarly bewitched, which is why they become so brainwashed.

After listening to Freya's description, Zhou Xiao quickly came to the same conclusion as her.

But why don’t these heretics who call themselves the “Voice of the Deep Sea” target no one but only the Church of the God of Raging Waves?
"Do you know who ordered those monsters?" So Zhou Xiao continued to ask into the microphone.

"It didn't answer me. The deep sea was extremely dark, and it didn't feel like the nearby sea... However, during the process of mental projection, I felt another power of authority that did not belong to me. The other party must also have the power of the ocean. The presence of authority.”

Freya on the screen continued to lower her head, trying to remember the god who answered her.

Another being with authority over the ocean?

In this boundless sea, Zhou Xiao currently knows that there are only two forces that hold the authority of the sea. One is Niord, the god of raging waves, and the other is Egil, the giant sea god.

Now there is such a force that holds some authority over the ocean, secretly bewitching the mortals on this continent and ordering them to attack the believers of the God of Raging Waves.

Who is behind this force? The answer is already clear.

"The deep sea monsters you see are the dependents of the sea god Egil. He is one of the gods with authority over the ocean and is also an ancient race of giants."

giant?

Freya couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing the divine guidance described by the Son of the Past.

In the nine realms nurtured by the World Tree, there are a total of five kinds of life existences, giants, gods, elves, dwarfs, and mortals.

Among them, the giants and gods are extremely powerful and capable of controlling many powers in the world, and are collectively called gods.

The giants are more ancient than the gods. They are beings that have been born since the beginning of the creation of the world. Unlike the personalized gods, the giants often appear with pure power and terrifying figures, facing the enemies of the gods. Creation of mortals was not kind.

If the deep sea monster she saw was a descendant of the giant, then everything would be explained.

"So this is a secret fight between gods and giants, and their believers are targeting each other." Freya immediately understood the meaning.

Gods and giants have always been at odds with each other, and among the countless poems and legends circulated in the Atrium, there are a large number of stories about the war between the Divine Realm and Jotunheim.

"Yes, this is probably also a way for them to fight for power - by fighting for the faith of mortals." Zhou Xiao affirmed her statement.Egil specifically singled out the Sea Father Order, an organization that believed in the God of Raging Waves, to corrupt its internal members and allow it to splinter heresies against its own gods. This in itself was a blasphemy.

Moreover, if the believers of the God of Raging Waves continue to be corrupted from within, become heretics and attack the gods they once believed in, it will also greatly shake people's belief in the God of Raging Waves.

This is obviously a well-planned faith war, and the target is the Church of the God of Raging Waves, the most powerful faith church along the coast.

"Those heretics have been affected and can easily be controlled by Egil's dependents and turn into fish monsters - this is too dangerous. We should eradicate them as soon as possible before they grow stronger!"

Freya secretly felt uneasy when she thought about how those believers had turned into fish monsters just now.

"No, they are targeting the God of Raging Waves, not me. Why should I eliminate threats for others?"

"Even if we want to take action, we have to do it when the public can see it."

After figuring out the relationship, Zhou Xiao quickly came to a very rational conclusion.

It is certainly a heinous crime to confuse the people with the sound of the deep sea, but in the final analysis, this is a battle between believers between the two sea gods Egil and Niord, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Xiao.

No matter if he attacks any side, he is helping the other side. Why should he wade into this muddy water?
The most sensible thing for him to do at the moment is to sit by and watch them fight, and then wait for the right opportunity to take advantage and reap the benefits.

If done correctly, maybe the name Son of the Old One could become famous on the continent of Europa.

"I understand, it was my lack of consideration." Freya reacted immediately, bowed her head to the sky and said, "Then what should I do next?"

"That person from the Robert family has already come to find you. Ask him for the specific situation of the Church of the God of Raging Waves. Only by understanding enough information can you control the overall situation."

At this time, Zhou Xiao's bird's-eye view could already see Duke and a group of hotel staff coming to the square, anxiously looking for Freya.

From his mouth, we should be able to learn more information about the Church of the God of Raging Waves and the Sea Father Order.

This is exactly what Zhou Xiao currently lacks.

"Yes, Master."

The voice of the Son of the Old disappeared from the air temporarily. Freya turned her head and saw Duke's figure emerging from the square.

Freya took the initiative to walk towards Duke, waving to him as if she had never left the square.

"Miss Freya! So you are here! I was scared to death... I thought you had gone somewhere again!" Duke quickly ran towards Freya with the hotel staff, panting.

"The hotel staff just came back and told me that they never found you in the square!"

"I went to watch the excitement. Look over there, it seems like people from the church are coming."

Freya's acting skills are still top-notch. While explaining with an innocent face, she also pointed her finger towards the blue curtain composed of the steam carriage.

Duke also took off his top hat and looked in the direction she was pointing: "I've also heard that the church is arresting heretics over there! Just be careful, don't get so close, so as not to cause trouble for yourself."

"Is the Church of the God of Raging Waves so powerful in this kingdom that it can directly arrest people with force?" Freya asked.

She knew that the situation in Europa and Beihai was different. Their country, religion, and business were independent. Even a large church might not be able to go out and arrest people in other countries' countries at will.

"Their equipment is specially made by the church. Rubber bullets cannot hurt anyone." Duke shook his head. "They are only lethal when dealing with heretics or abnormal extraordinary beings."
