When it comes to religious forces that may cause rebellion, You Ling immediately thinks of the cult of the Old Ones.
However, the Pope of the Old Ones should have had his soul destroyed by the evil god in that dark duel.
"By entrusting this task to the Set family, Caesar probably wants Duke Set to use this to make up for his mistakes and re-establish his prestige in the kingdom."
"Another political incident." Hearing this, You Ling immediately lost interest and said perfunctorily, "Isn't that good?"
"My sister thought so at first, so she went out to suppress the rebels herself. However, this rebellion did not seem to be what was expected. It was just ordinary cultists causing trouble. Even my sister could not solve it for a while."
"You can't even solve that Kema?"
"That's why my sister contacted me just now. I hope that you, You Ling, and Aisha, as the royal knights of Livolden, can assist the Set family in completing the task of suppressing the rebellion."
"I reject!"
You Ling refused decisively. He did not want to get involved in any political events. There was no need for him to take on this task which sounded very troublesome in order to re-establish the prestige of the Set family.
After all, this was a matter entrusted to the Set family by the royal family, and had nothing to do with the Carlos family. Just because of the identity of a royal knight, would he let himself work for nothing?
"By the way, my sister also said that if You Ling is willing to help, she will pay you personally."
"Reward?" You Ling asked doubtfully, "Given Kema's personality, would he do something like 'It's an honor, the reward is to duel with me!'?"
"No, it's the actual reward. Two million gold coins."
"I'll go!" (double meaning)
This number is exactly right.
"Kema: "Hmph, got it." "
Chapter 419: God-killing Weapon "Heaven" 6K
It was exactly 200 million gold coins, which was like finding out all about You Ling's background, and it was an attractive offer that was completely impossible to refuse.
But then I thought about it.
Why did Kema know that he needed 200 million? You Ling remembered that the only people who knew about this were Krista and Yilin who were present.
And because this matter involves the taboos of human body creation, Weier also repeatedly reminded that although it is okay to raise money, one must never tell anyone about the creation of the body.
"Could it be that there is a traitor?"
Of the two people who would reveal this matter to the two siblings of the Seth family, Krista and Yilin, it is obvious that Yilin, who knows Kevin, is more likely to be suspected.
Thinking of this, You Ling silently glanced at the traitor Yi Lin.
It turned out that after boarding the airship, the insider had already been discussing with Licia which of the free desserts was more delicious.
Yilin, with cream on her mouth, realized that You Ling was peeking at her, and blushed in embarrassment, then gave You Ling a 'sweet' smile.
She acted innocent, as if she wasn't the mole.
Could it really not be?
It could have been Krista…that was even more impossible.
Krista didn't even know the two siblings from Seth's family.
And if you think about it carefully, although these two women may behave strangely sometimes, they should not be the type of people who would talk about taboo things.
I didn't expect that there could be such a coincidence in the world.
"Okay, I'll take on this mission!"
No matter what the reason was, it was still two million gold coins. No one would have a problem with money.
Perhaps I am the one who doesn't understand the market. In the name of Royal Knight, the cost might be 200 million.
"The location is the western part of the kingdom, right? When do we leave?"
“We are on our way now.”
"Ugh?"
It was only then that You Ling discovered that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon airship carrying everyone was not flying to Fu Sheng Academy at all, but to a completely unfamiliar route.
It seems that this is what Kevin and the operator were talking about when the plane took off just now.
"If you don't agree, You Ling, I will send you back to the academy safely after I get off the airship in the west. But since you agreed, come with me to meet up with my sister later."
After all, this is also a problem that the Set family needs to face, and Kevin himself will definitely help Kema.
Of course, being able to invite the Royal Knights to help in the battle with pure money as a reward is already a pleasant surprise.
It seems that the information revealed to him by Senior Aleister is completely accurate. You Ling will indeed be very short of money during this period.
Although Kevin didn't know what You Ling was going to do with his money.
But compared to You Ling, money is the easiest thing to get given the Set family's industries across the country.
……
"We're going too!"
As expected, when these women learned that You Ling had made a temporary decision to go to the west to help Kema suppress the rebellion, they became restless again.
"If you go, you'll just be working for nothing."
What Kevin meant was that you were not invited at all, and there was no talk of compensation, so women should just stay out of the way.
"We didn't say we had to go help." Irena smiled and said, "Just think of it as a side trip. Anyway, as long as I'm not in class, I can go anywhere."
Yilin said worriedly: "But if it's the west, I remember that's Lishiya's hometown, right? Lishiya, is it really okay for you to go with us? What if..."
"My hometown is just a small village in the west." Lixia waved her hand and said, "Senior Yilin, the west is very vast. How could it be my village? What a coincidence."
In the western part of the kingdom, although development is difficult and the economy is backward due to many restrictions such as geographical conditions, cultists often take advantage of this to cause trouble.
But the area of the west is not small at all. Nearly a quarter of the land of Livolden is divided into the western region.
"You guys!" Kevin was speechless by this group of women: "This is a real rebellion, there will be casualties. You actually treat it as a trip."
Irena retorted: "Kevin, your definition of travel is too narrow. Traveling is not the same as playing. Witnessing the suffering of the world and the changes in history with your own eyes is also part of the meaning of travel."
"..."
With Kevin's mouth, he would definitely not be able to win over Irena. After all, even if Kema came, it would be a 50-50 chance at best.
There was really no way to persuade these people, so the final destination of the airship was set to the western part of the kingdom, and there was no need to even go back to Fu Sheng Academy.
"By the way, I have to contact Vice President Leiden and inform him that we will postpone our return to school."
Although she was usually free and easy, Irena still knew the rules. If this kind of thing was not handled according to the procedures, it would be easily regarded as truancy and credits would be deducted.
"Kevin, how long will it take? I'll go and report it."
"How can I say this for sure?"
Before the Set family set out, Kema thought that this ordinary cult rebellion could be dealt with in three days at most.
However, now that almost a week has passed, not only has the rebellion not been quelled, it has become more and more intense.
So even if it takes a few days to ask Kevin, he won't be able to give an accurate answer.
"Is that so? Then I will report the truth to Principal Leiden."
Irena probably realized the seriousness of the current situation from Kevin's attitude.
The situation was indeed very serious. When the airship flew over the western land, You Ling and others became very aware of the current situation.
Because the western region is located in the Gobi Desert, it is dominated by the village system, and most of the buildings are bungalows made of loess.
But now, these bungalows are collapsed and do not look like they are inhabited at all.
Aixia: "This is too tragic. What on earth happened?"
"You'll know when you get there."
You Ling looked towards the distance and saw a building whose style was out of tune with the surrounding yellow earth.
That should be a temporary location built by the Set family to station troops.
After leaving the airship, most people in the Set family's temporary camp knew their second son Kevin.
But I have rarely seen the group of people following Kevin.
"I heard that Master Kevin doesn't like women coming here, so why did he bring back so many beautiful and cute little girls all of a sudden?"
"I advise you to keep your voice down and don't let your thoughts wander." The experienced veteran reminded: "Didn't you see the elf eyes on the arms of those people? They are all duelists."
"Hiss, it really is. Then just pretend that I never said anything."
Although we are currently in an era where duelists have a superior status, those who can become duelists are, after all, only a minority among the minority.
The permanent troops held by the major families are still mainly ordinary people.
Of course, a big family like Set, a duke-level family, would definitely recruit some non-noble duelists as retainers. They would be useful at critical moments, such as now.
"elder sister!"
Stepping into the main camp, Kevin pushed the door open without hesitation.
There seemed to be some discussion in the crowd, and Kema's face showed obvious fatigue. After seeing his younger brother, he seemed to be a little relieved.
Then he saw the few people who came in with Kevin, and his expression changed from relief to surprise.
"Aisha Carlos! Irena, Ilin Austin... and there's one I haven't seen yet."
"I'm Aisha-senpai's roommate, Lishia."
"Oh." Kema didn't care who Lisia was.
"Speaking of roommates, I'm also Kema's roommate." Irena approached him in a sly manner: "What happened, my dear roommate? The once unruly Kemaset seems to have been tripped up by troubles."
"Are you here just to laugh at me?" Kema glanced at Irena unhappily.
"Yes."
Everyone else in the main camp was stunned.
Who would dare to speak to the current Duke with such an attitude?
Even those veterans who have followed the Set family for many years did not dare to tease their masters so blatantly.
If this had happened in the past when Lei Gangset was in power, he would have probably lost his head.
"Don't be ridiculous." Kema glanced at the most important target, "Since you came here with Kevin, I should understand that you agreed to the conditions. Royal Knight, Aisha Carlos."
When Kema said this, everyone else in the main camp was dumbfounded.
The only living royal knight in the legend, the great hero who saved the capital of Rivalden.
Although I have heard of her, when I actually see her, I can't help but be amazed that the Royal Duel Knight is just a little girl.
Moreover, what kind of outrageous conditions did Kemaset offer to invite the Royal Knights over?
"Tell me the situation, Kema." You Ling went straight to the point.
Before coming in, the group seemed to be discussing something.
And since You Ling has accepted this mission with a reward of 200 million gold coins, he will definitely not choose to fish in troubled waters, but take it seriously. Otherwise, what is the difference between this and living off others?
From the tone of voice, he could also tell that You Ling was there after the soul exchange, and Kema's expression turned back to serious mode.
"The situation is very complicated. I originally thought it was just an ordinary cult rebellion that could be suppressed violently."
"Is this rebellion unusual?" You Ling guessed, "Does the other side also have powerful duelists?"
"No, on the contrary." Kema sighed, "It's because they are too ordinary. People who are so ordinary that they rebel are not cultists at all, but ordinary villagers."
"Village?"
"In the past few days, the Sett family's troops have actually been fighting against ordinary villagers. But these villagers seemed to be brainwashed, humming strange songs, holding weapons, and attacking anyone they saw. And because of their large numbers, the Sett family can only build a temporary defense line one kilometer away."
Just a few words of explanation were enough for You Ling to fully understand Kema's dilemma at the moment.
The rebels were not hysterical cultists, but ordinary villagers.
From what Kema said, it seemed that he was brainwashed and controlled by some kind of existence.
If the truth was not known, given Kema's character, he would never do such a thing as indiscriminately massacring ordinary villagers.
Therefore, faced with the villagers who were brainwashed and unwilling to die, the Set Army was caught in a tough battle in order to minimize casualties.
This was the only way Kema could have delayed for so long.
