Without waiting for the Kjerag crowd to react, the Great Elder took a step forward and pressed down on Enya's shoulder. The force was so strong that Enya's expression twisted for a moment because of the pain.

She turned around and saw the Great Elder's angry expression, followed by a loud question:

"Lady Saint, how dare you distort the oracle of the great god Yelagund!"

Once he said this, it meant that two completely opposite voices appeared within Manzhu Academy. No matter what the outcome was, the prestige of Manzhu Academy would be greatly reduced.

But it is better than his rights and the rights of Manzhuyuan being stolen by this treacherous saint and that absurd government!

Following this tit-for-tat shout, the crowd suddenly exploded!

Chapter 19 I am only responsible for completing my mission

For Kjerag, faith is its soul.

Unlike other countries on this earth that believe in God but do not worship Him, Kjerag was truly created by Yelagund! If it were not for the protection of Yelagund's power, this isolated snowy country would not have been free from natural disasters for hundreds of years and would not have become a paradise like the Peach Blossom Spring.

People's faith in Yelagund is so sincere and firm that it cannot be shaken by a few words. Therefore, even Ernst had no intention of denying Yelagund or promoting atheism from the beginning. Because that is not progress, it is stupidity, ingratitude, and a manifestation of not being able to achieve even the most basic truth-seeking.

But what Ernst didn't expect was that he didn't target Manzhuyuan, but problems actually arose within Manzhuyuan itself.

This was a huge shock to all the people of Kjerag.

On one side is Saint Karan, who has gone through numerous tests and selections and represents Yelagunde Germany. She is the most respected religious leader in Kjerag and announced that Yelagund believes Ernst is innocent.

On the other hand, the most respected elder of Manzhu Temple, who had laid the groundwork for a long time and said a series of things that sounded quite reasonable and had already guided people's emotions and public opinion, announced that the saint had distorted the oracle of Yelagund and that Ernst was guilty.

At this moment, the same question popped up in the minds of the Kjerag people watching on the Holy Stone Square: Who should I believe?

Believe in Saint Kalan? That means denying the self just now, denying the words of the great elder who has been respected and recognized since birth, and denying the habits and common sense accumulated in his long life. He was forced to accept and understand the new things brought by Ernst.

This is an extremely difficult task.

But if you believe the Great Elder, the problem will only be bigger. Because it means denying Saint Kalan, denying Kjerag's more ancient traditions, and denying the person who was selected and recognized by the people to act on Yelagund's will. And to admit that the Great Elder, a secular leader who cannot communicate directly with Yelagund, has more right to interpret Yelagund's oracle than Saint Kalan.

But if they were to recognize that the secular leader was superior to Saint Kalan, how could they refute Ernst's statement that his actions did not betray Yelagund? After all, compared to the Great Elder, Ernst was now the nominal secular leader of Kjerag, and logically, he had more right to answer than the Great Elder.

There is no doubt that this is a spiritual shock.

But this time, it seems that there is no one who can convince everyone to stand up and unify everyone's decision.

The Holy Stone Square was in an uproar. People who used to see each other everywhere were now gathering in twos and threes, forming their own small groups. At first, they were looking for people who agreed with each other, but later they gradually turned to trying to convince others to agree with their views. In the end, the argument inevitably degenerated into a simple and direct personal attack!

"Ernst was speaking incomprehensible language. All he did was sell the land. Why is he innocent?"

"But the Saint Lady said he is innocent. This is the oracle of the great god Yelagund. Don't you believe it?"

"Saint... The Great Elder said that the Saint had misinterpreted it! Besides, why are you so eager to speak for Ernst? You didn't accept the rice from the Shivaash family, did you?"

"You... you are talking nonsense! You are insulting me. I am a devout follower of Yelagund. What's wrong with me believing what the Saint said? But you, the Great Elder is your father? How dare you help him question the Saint?"

"Look, it's urgent!"

"Dian, if you can't win the argument, just say that I'm in a hurry. I'll punch you!"

Seeing that the fight on and off the stage had already reached a fever pitch and the personal attacks were gradually turning into chaos, Enthiotis finally waited for the perfect opportunity.

He stood up, ignoring Latatos and Actor who were looking at him inquiringly, and directly instructed the Black Knight Mace:

"There's a riot at the Holy Stone Square, the trial is suspended. To prevent casualties, immediately mobilize the 'security personnel' of Kalan Trade to go up the mountain to assist the Perrochi family and maintain order together!"

"What?" Actor stood up immediately and said, "Enchiodis! What do you want to do? The Perlochi family is the family responsible for maintaining the order of the trial. Don't let your people interfere!"

But Jian seemed to have not heard Actor's warning at all. He raised his right hand, saluted to Enthiotis, and walked quickly towards the passage down the mountain.

Enthiotis turned around calmly and looked at Actos with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

At this point, all Actor was thinking about was stopping the Shivaash family from infiltrating their power into the defense work, which really made Enthiodis feel a little funny and boring.

He sat down on the chair again, looked calmly at the muscular Actor who came forward, and asked:

"There are nearly 10,000 people in the Holy Stone Square right now. Chief Actor, if these 10,000 people start a riot, can you maintain order with just the few guards you brought with you?"

"This is the Holy Mountain, in front of the Holy Stone. If an accident happens because of your lack of guards, can you bear the responsibility?"

He smiled and advised like a teacher with earnest words:

"Kalan Trade has transport vehicles and is close to the Holy Mountain, so they can get here the fastest. I'm helping you."

Actor's expression changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and turned back to his seat.

Watching his back as he was sent away, Enthyotis shook his head helplessly.

The few rights you covet are, in my opinion, just a small appendage.

But what I want is more than just defense work.

What I want is everything.

..........

Kjerag, at the foot of the Holy Mountain.

Following the predetermined route, Mace found the lurking Mountain Snow Ghost and the commander, Horned Peak Matterhorn.

"The boss's order has come down, get ready to go."

After conveying Enthiotis's order, Mace was about to leave, pretending to be someone who had just returned from the Kalan Trade Station, and return to the Holy Stone Square with the Mountain Snow Ghost Army, but he was blocked by the man in black in front of him.

The Black Knight glanced at the emblem on the arm of the blocker, and his sword-like brows suddenly frowned, wondering:

"Mercenaries from Black Steel International? Why are you here?"

"Just completing the mission."

The leading Vaifan girl answered,

"If you want to take Ernst Shivaash away, please go back."

"Who asked you to come?" asked Jian.

Razer shook his head: "We will not disclose the identity of the employer or the content of the task."

That being said, it's not hard to guess.

In the entire Kjerag, there are only two forces that have external exchanges.

On one side is Enthiotis and Kalan Trade, and on the other side is Ernst and the Kjerag government.

As an international mercenary organization based in Colombia, it goes without saying that they were able to find people.

"Didn't Magnus Bank think of the consequences of doing this?" Mace threatened, and then offered a jujube, "Get out of the way. My boss can also sign such an agreement with them."

But Razer still shook his head expressionlessly:

"You can go to Magnus Bank for negotiations."

“I am only responsible for completing my mission.”

Chapter 4200 Yelagund pronounces me not guilty ( words)

"What happened down the mountain?"

I don’t know who was the first to notice the spread of the riot, but gradually, the already chaotic crowd on the hilltop began to spread out of control.

Enthiotis frowned.

According to the predetermined plan, at this moment, the Mountain Snow Demon should have already attacked the Holy Stone Square and started fighting with the Perlochi family.

But anyone can see that the place where the military conflict broke out was not in the Holy Stone Square, or even in the Holy Mountain, but at the foot of the Holy Mountain.

Something went wrong with the mace's work, or something went wrong with Matterhorn?

These two possibilities flashed through Enthiotis' mind, but he shook his head.

Impossible. Matterhorn was his most trusted confidant, and his loyalty to him did not need any test. As for Mace, although he had just redeemed him from Casimir at a high price, Enthiotis always believed in his own judgment of people. Mace was the kind of person who would choose her own employer. If she didn't like the person, she would not let her work for him no matter how much money she spent. On the contrary, for the employer she chose, even if she did nothing, Mace would do her best to complete her task meticulously.

That's where the problem comes from.

Did the Perrochi family set up an ambush in advance and stop the mountain snow ghost from going up the mountain?

Enthiotis's eyes swept towards Actoros. The tall Ursus man showed an undisguised look of worry on his face. He was obviously worried about the scale of the riot. Noticing Enthiotis's gaze, he turned his head and asked loudly:

"Enchiodis, didn't you say your people are here? The crowd is about to get out of control, where are your people?"

Enchiodis retracted his gaze and replied, "It should be soon."

It shouldn't be him. Actor couldn't pretend to have such an expression. He didn't have the heart to do it.

Could it be Brontao?

But Latatos seemed unaware of this matter. Otherwise, with her character, she would have seen through Enthiotis's troop deployment trick from the very beginning and joined forces with Enthiotis to capture him on the spot.

This is strange, what went wrong with the plan?

Enthiotis was puzzled. After discarding all possibilities, he had to turn his attention to Ernst who was standing on the Holy Stone Judgment Stand.

It's just him.

Ernst stood on the judgement stand with his head held high. Even though the commotion at the foot of the mountain could be heard by the people on the mountain and the Holy Stone Square was in chaos, he still did not look panicked at all.

He needn't worry about that.

Because he is talking to another person at this moment.

Or in other words, another "god".

Yelagund's voice sometimes sounds like thunder falling from the sky, and sometimes like a trickle of water flowing from the mountains. The two contradictory attitudes of majesty and gentleness are mixed together, but they seem to be natural, showing the specialness of the god and making people unforgettable.

"Are not you afraid?"

He asked in a low voice, as if a mother was concerned about her child. Ernst shook his head, but soon smiled bitterly and nodded.

"If it's a failure, don't be afraid. There will be many opportunities after failure. I don't want to be an orphan if I succeed."

"But if you're asking me if I'm afraid of death, yes."

Who wouldn’t be afraid of death? Perhaps the warriors fighting against the demons on the Sami Icefields are not afraid of death, perhaps the inner guards of Ursus hovering above the country are not afraid of death, and perhaps those noble people who believe that they must die to achieve their ideals are not afraid of death.

But Ernst was still somewhat afraid.

At this moment, Yelagund's voice became stern again, as if a strict father was questioning his child:

"Why? I see those reformers, they are not afraid of death."

"Did they do it?" Ernst asked.

"Some succeeded, some failed," Yelagund replied.

Ernst shook his head and said, "There are only a few who succeed, but countless who fail. You may not understand, but the most feared thing about great events, especially those of change, is the death of leaders and the demise of regimes."

The death of a person and the demise of his regime seems to be an unavoidable topic for human beings and the countries they created.

Cases like Shang Yang's Reform, which was carried out even after the death of the reformer and influenced the later generations for thousands of years, are almost unique in history. There are more cases like Wang Anshi's Reform and Zheng He's Seven Voyages to the West, which were obviously beneficial to the country in the long run, but were suddenly stopped or even overturned due to the death of the reformer who led and supported the reform.

The forces opposing the reform within Kjeragne were so huge, and the conservative and backward people were so numerous, that Ernst could not pin his hopes on the wisdom of future generations and become the African Che Guevara who would only be remembered and commemorated by future generations.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Why not live if you can?

Yelagund's voice fell into silence. Just when Ernst thought that He had left, He suddenly spoke again. This time, His voice was like that of a young girl, brisk and pleasant, which made Ernst, who had just felt a little heavy, feel relieved.

"In fact, I have been thinking about this for a long time. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Kjerag has been stuck in a thousand-year stagnation because of my protection and belief in me?"

Ernst responded respectfully: "Your greatness is beyond doubt, but human beings are still creatures that need to step out of their cradles."

“So, I am also waiting for your answer.”

Yelagund's voice changed again. This time, it seemed as if He had transformed into an eternal mountain, and the echo from the valley was majestic and distant:

"The answer sheet the elder gave me told me to leave Kjerag as it is. Nothing needs to be changed. Under my protection, Kjerag can reproduce for another ten thousand years."

His voice transformed into the sound of wind chimes from afar:

"Enya told me that Kjerag may need changes. People do need to think and be free, but everything still needs to be centered on me. Faith will have an absolute dominant position in Kjerag, and she will not allow anyone to cross the boundaries of the rules."

His voice boomed, as terrifying as thunder:

"And Enthiotis gave me a hesitant answer - Kjerag needs a thorough reform, the three major families should be abandoned, the Manzhu Court should be abolished, my existence is an obstacle to Kjerag, I should be expelled from this snowy land, and only my statue should be left. And the one who dominates Kjerag should be the Columbian-style free order built by Kalan Trade, and the Kjerag people's thoughts should be dominated by interests."

He took back his magical power, and Ernst felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him through the holy stone.
