Sickly lady in wheelchair, but God

Paper cannot hold fire.

When Marin was wandering around this rift, what happened here was still spread through various channels.

Half a month later, an orc with a white beard came to the vicinity of the rift valley, shouting that he wanted to see Marin.

The soldiers stationed outside the valley stopped the old orc, but the noise here still reached the ears of Marin who was patrolling the camp.

"What?"

She walked over with a little displeasure.

Seeing Marlene, the old orc immediately raised his right hand high. His face was full of anxiety, and his deep wrinkles were twisted into a ball like dry bark. His voice was also trembling, but the trembling was mixed with a firmness like a needle.

"King, you can't touch the black fog. You can't touch it. You must not touch it!"

"Hmm? What do you mean? Do you know these black mists?"

Marlene's eyes lit up.

If this old orc knew about the black fog, wouldn’t that solve her problem?

"Let him go and let him come over."

"But……"

The soldiers looked embarrassed.

Wang said it easily, but what if this old guy came to assassinate him? Wang might not be in trouble, but they would be in big trouble.

The king has never been a tolerant king.

Marlene insisted, and finally the soldiers had to obey.

"Tell me what you know!"

Marlene looked forward to it.

The old orc took a few breaths and said anxiously: "King, I don't know what the black mist is exactly, but the Divine Scripture records something very similar to this black mist."

"Divine Canon?"

"It is the divine scripture written by High Priest Lilith."

"Oh, that one."

Marlene nodded, seemingly understanding, but in fact only understanding a little.

She had never been to school, and she only learned to read after she decided to become the second Sirius, so she had never heard of any divine scriptures.

But she had heard of the name Lilith. After all, Lilith was one of the three most famous priests in orc history.

The three priests were Antoine, Shelley, and Lilith (Miriam was not among them because Marin's ancestors migrated to other places after the division of the Kingdom of Tanon, and they did not know what Miriam and the Holy Fire Church were doing).

No matter how uneducated Marlene was, she must have heard of the names of the three great priests.

"What does the divine scripture say?"

The old orc explained, "According to the divine scriptures, this black fog is an ominous sign. Its appearance is a disaster. All lives that come into contact with it will be cursed. The eldest son of the First King, the Unspeakable King, died at the hands of a cursed monster. In the end, it was only because of the advent of a miracle that our ancestors successfully survived the disaster."

"..."

"King, for your own sake and for the sake of all orcs, you must not come into contact with this black fog. It will bring irreparable disaster!"

The old orc fell to the ground and begged sincerely.

This action made Marlene feel a little unhappy.

What are you talking about, old bitch? Do you mean that I am ignorant of right and wrong and I have to rely on you to risk your life to persuade me to make the right choice?

What a joke.

I am the king of the Kingdom of Kara Siris, the Conqueror Marin, and I don't need you to point fingers at me!

Although she was disgusted, Marlene did not drive the old orc out directly. Instead, she replied calmly: "I understand. I know what to do."

Her nonchalant look immediately made the old orc anxious, and he hurried to continue persuading her.

As the old orc became anxious, Marin also became anxious.

What's the matter? Are you trying to force me to make a choice? Are you the king or am I the king? Or do you think you are the Scarlet Goddess and can force me to submit by force?

Marlene stared at the old man. She said in a cold voice with all her might, "This is not the place for you to come. Please be aware of your identity and leave now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"King, you..."

The old orc wanted to say something, but the general standing nearby came up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Old man, you haven't had a rest after traveling all the way here, come on, I'll take you to have some rest first."

He didn't care whether the old orc agreed or not, he just carried the old orc out.

When he came back, there was still a frost on Marlene's face that was difficult to melt.

cough.

He coughed lightly and walked up to Marlene with a bright but somewhat humble smile.

"King, what the old orc said is only half right."

This immediately caught Marlene's attention: "What do you mean?"

The general said, "I just asked the soldiers who have read the Divine Codex, and they said that the Divine Codex did mention a strange fog that would bring disaster, but the Divine Codex did not say what color the fog was. Moreover, the Divine Codex said that it was written by the Lilith Priestess, but that was only limited to the first edition of the Divine Codex. The Divine Codex we see now has been revised many times. How true is the content recorded in it..."

Hehe, it’s hard to say.

"Many people believe that the contents of the first half of the Divine Scripture are fictitious, because every now and then someone goes looking for the so-called promised land, but no one has ever actually arrived there."

"I see."

Marlene suddenly realized.

It's really stupid that the old man takes what he reads in the book as the truth!

I will let him go today, but if he dares to talk nonsense again, I will have to teach him a lesson and let him know who is the real king.

No matter how powerful the First King and the Unspeakable King are, they are only kings in myths and legends. Who knows if they really exist?

Marlene patted the general on the shoulder and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on this area, and don't let any more inexplicable people approach."

"Yes!"

The general agreed very readily.

He is good at speaking differently to different people.

Anyway, Marlene is very happy now, without any anger at all as she had just talked with the old orc.

After much thought, she felt that the contents recorded in the divine code should not be entirely false. After all, the time when High Priest Lilith lived was only a hundred years away from the mythological era recorded in the divine code.

So she called the soldiers who had read the divine code and asked them to briefly summarize the previous contents of the divine code.

After hearing this, she really gained a lot.

It turns out that the Unspeakable King had most of his life stories erased because he made a big mistake when he was king.

According to this statement, what caused the death of the Unspeakable King was most likely not a curse, but a punishment from God!

Black fog, is the black fog really the power of punishment from the Lord of Glory?

Marlene's breathing quickened. If that was true, she would be able to defeat the crimson goddess if she mastered this power.

She began to get a little restless.

Tong Yao, who had been watching here, also felt something was wrong.

Marlene has already reached the point where she only believes what she wants to believe, so even if she doesn't have the ability to predict the future, she can still get a glimpse of how things will develop next.

as predicted.

The old orc was driven away by the soldiers, but he was not discouraged by the failure of his persuasion.

He believed in everything recorded in the divine code, so he felt that it was completely right for him to dissuade Marlene. He was doing it for the good of Marlene and all the orcs!

"Do the right thing and let others talk about it. Even if you will be stabbed with a blade or thrown into the underworld, there is no need to be afraid. Even the First King was not understood sometimes, and even High Priest Shelley was questioned sometimes, let alone ordinary people like us."

Just do it and it's done.

If the orcs themselves don't work hard for the future of their own tribe, who else can they count on?

The old orc wants to burn himself for the entire orc race.

Although he is old, this candle in the wind burns a completely different flame.

He found a group of like-minded orcs. Some of these orcs, like him, were descendants of orcs who migrated from the east, while others were orcs who had already lived in this area.

During their communication, they found that most of the stories passed down by their ancestors were consistent among them, even though they were separated by distance.

Doesn’t this mean that most of the contents recorded in the divine scriptures are also true?

These orcs with noble hearts traveled across mountains and rivers to the Rift Valley. They petitioned together, hoping that Marin would seal off the Rift Valley for the sake of the entire orc race and prohibit any orcs from contacting it.

Many orcs gathered together and burst out with extraordinary momentum, even the soldiers could not help but be moved.

But this action completely angered Marlene, whose self-esteem was so strong that it was a little twisted.

Do you still see me as the king?

For the future of the orc race?

The one who can decide the future of the orc race is me and only me, the orc king!

I see you work so hard not for the orc race, but because you are afraid that I will kill that scarlet goddess!

The more she was opposed, the more "rebellious" Marlene became.

She was originally just hesitant, thinking that the black fog might be a good thing, but it was dangerous after all. But now, because of her confrontational mentality, she thinks that the black fog is most likely a good thing.

In anger, Marin executed the old orc and dispersed the other orcs.

This has completely detonated public opinion in the Kingdom of Kara Siris.

This is a new country that has only been officially established for three years. It is a country established through military conquest. It is a country whose actual territory far exceeds the administrative capacity limit.

The orcs who opposed Marlene's violent behavior, the orcs who stood up for the old orc, the orcs who had the same understanding as the old orc, and the orcs who were angry at Marlene's arrogant behavior of denying the divine code gathered together.

Of course, their first thought was not to overthrow Marlene's rule.

After all, Marlene is too powerful, and the army she controls is not easy to deal with.

The first purpose of their union was to use their popularity to force Marin to abandon the black fog in the Rift Valley, relax the current high-pressure rule, and give more autonomy to the local areas.

I can only say that they are still too naive.

In Marlene's eyes, it is better not to fight at all than to fight incompletely.

Marlene was furious.

She directly ordered the army to attack the gathering places of those opponents. She even threw some captured opponents into the black fog, and after they transformed into monsters, she drove these monsters to attack other opponents.

Marlene also wanted to see the limit of this black fog.

She must master this power, she must master this power, only in this way can she kill the crimson goddess, only in this way can she be the real number one in the world, and only in this way can she face the gods with her head held high!

Seeing this mess, Tong Yao wanted to slap Malin in the face.

Why not contact anything else, but actually take the initiative to contact psionic energy!

She appeared directly in front of Tia, wanting Tia to go down the mountain to kill Marin.

At the last moment, she still endured it.

Right now the intensity of psionic energy is still very low, far less than what she felt in the subspace. If she doesn't let the intelligent life of this world experience the horror of psionic energy now, then when should she wait? Should she wait until psionic energy invades this world on a large scale?

By then, the civilization of this world would probably be destroyed in an instant, and it would be difficult for her to rebuild civilization on this land.

"Witches and necromancers are nothing, the psionic powers are what we need to be most wary of!"

Tong Yao took a few deep breaths and decided to watch from the sidelines for the time being. She was watching anyway, and no matter how bad these psionic powers could be, they couldn't do anything that bad.

She felt that orcs and humans would not be wiped out by psionic energy like the winged people.

In the previous plague of the undead, humans showed their rational side. Although the power of the undead was very strong and they could revive the dead, most people still maintained enough rationality in the face of this power.

But psionic power is psionic power after all. What makes it truly terrifying is its ability to bewitch people and its ability to turn all order into madness and chaos.

To deal with psionic power, reason alone is not enough.

Tong Yao stayed in the Holy Mountain Torina temporarily, which made Tia very happy. She no longer took the little bug out for patrols, but lay beside Tong Yao all day long, staring at her like a pet cat.
