“Earl Murphy and I don't blame you for this, Elder Hillier..”
Tris said in a deep voice：
“We also have enough time to listen to this bizarre story, but before you start, I must correct you two mistakes. First, it is not the Midnight Mother that vampires talk about, at least not what you imagined. Such a existence.
Second, it is not God.
At this stage, you can only call it a divine evil.
As you share your story with us, I will also share with you a story about its birth and its current status.”
“I hope your will is strong enough, Elder Hillier.”
Murphy also spoke.：
“I hope you won't be frightened by the truth.”
From his two serious warnings, the vampire elder had already sensed the seriousness of the problem..
But even though he was mentally prepared, Elder Hillier was frightened to the core when he heard that the "god" he had worshiped for several months was a monster sacrificed by Sarokdar who killed his entire family. Almost stopped.
He is very old, but not every older vampire can be as well-informed as Tris. Although Hillier was not a marginalized person like Murphy in the former Blood Vulture Clan, he could not talk about it. valued.
His knowledge was not enough for him to accept this cruel truth in a short time. He needed some time to convince himself. In the process, the elder also told Murphy and Cui about Cadman City's experiences in the past nine months. Silk.
Overall, it was not as exciting and dangerous as they imagined. Compared with the drastic changes that occurred in Transia in the past nine months, the story of Cadman City seemed a bit dull and boring, but the danger contained in it was not at all. Not much smaller than here in the real world.
“The most difficult stage was the first two months after we were thrown into the Star Boundary. The periphery of our city had been shattered. Every day, unlucky people fell into the Star Boundary along with the shattered city boundaries. At that time, everyone was generally pessimistic about this city. The city could not survive the next month, so in an unexpected conflict, considerable chaos soon broke out in the city.”
Elder Hillier sighed and said：
“Fortunately for the vampires, we were small in number and controlled the Serenade barrier that we relied on for survival at that time. We closed the inner city to isolate the chaos. However, the information brought back by the blood servants who were sent out to observe the situation made us Midnight Familia Everybody feels creepy.
The people outside the city are like crazy！
Under the pressure of despair, they began to kill each other. When the city fell into the star realm, there were 130,000 people here. Those lost lives were the result of those three days of chaos..
Men were snatching away food and enjoyment, women were dragged out of hiding places, ravaged and abused, and there was blood and bodies thrown randomly on the streets, just like a scene of the end of the world..
Many people begged us to take them in, and for this reason they were willing to transform into vampires. I selected some of them with potential and adopted them. Later, more and more people escaped. After discussing with several other commanders, I decided to take them Contained and used as blood servants.
I suspect that there might be some manipulation and involvement from those hateful cultists..
I thought the city was going to end.
I was even prepared to resist the mob's attack on the inner city, but on the third night, a miracle happened.”
The elder hesitated for a moment, not sure whether he should continue to preach the kindness of the "god", but Murphy gestured with his eyes to continue speaking. Tris next to him was holding a handwritten note and recording the incident in detail..
Elder Hillier took a breath, recalled the scene that night, and said：
“It's like a pair of hands gently brushing over the chaotic city
I can see very clearly that where the power reaches, all the chaos is smoothed out, and those malicious emotions seem to be scattered, making the people who are killing each other suddenly wake up..
They held each other and cried. The woman was released and given food and clothes. The children were treated better after the shock..
It seems that overnight, the seeds of doom are dispersed, and hope and repentance return to the hearts of those crazy people..
I heard that voice too.
Very soft, like a whisper in a dream, He told me to protect the city. Other vampires also heard similar voices. It was in that scene like a divine revelation that we were encouraged to walk out of the inner city and the city. Leaders of foreign forces talk to each other.
Therefore, the most basic order is reshaped.
Although there is still a fragile peace, at least since that night, large-scale chaos has never happened again..
The Grand Duke, and the Earl, I must admit to you that I secretly acquiesce in the spread of this belief. Not only vampires, but also a considerable number of humans who have survived the disaster will also sing the praises of the Midnight Mother..
Whatever it was, it really saved Cadman City that night.
I know this belief can be dangerous, but with all due respect it has taken root in this city over the past few months and unless we clear out the people here,.”
“No one is going to clear them out, and no one is going to clear you out. Elder Hillier, don’t think about it..”
Murphy waved his hands and said clearly.：
“This matter is still within the scope of being resolved, so don’t panic, and there is no need to be so tempted. Grand Duke Tris has given you the status of elder, which means that we will accept you again..
Since a kind of faith is born in real salvation and miracles, we cannot pretend that we have never seen it before.
You should rest first. Tris and I will give you an answer soon, but Cadman City is not suitable for large-scale outsiders to visit at the moment. The city must maintain a state of martial law until everything stabilizes..”
Elder Hillier has no opinion on this..
But then Murphy officially gave him the position of acting mayor of Cadman City, which made the elder who originally thought he could throw the blame away was stunned..
But he couldn't refuse, at least not at this time..
After finishing their conversation with Elder Hillier, Murphy and Tris wandered around the Blood Eagle Tower again. The damage here was very serious and it could basically be regarded as a dangerous building. However, it had not collapsed under the influence of the strange star realm, but it had been repaired. absolutely necessary.
Not only this tower, but also the strange city that is now chaotically built like building blocks also needs to be repaired. The Masons Brotherhood has more work to do next..
“How are you going to deal with it?？”
In a dilapidated tower, looking at Cadman City still shrouded in shadow under the sun, Murphy asked.：
“Should this belief continue to exist?？”
“I have an idea.”
Tris held her own notes and whispered：
“If the Midnight Mother really does have a dual aspect, then maybe we can 'help' her out.”
“oh? How to say？”
Murphy asked curiously, Tris moved her fingers, she said：
“The appearance of the God of Faith is determined by the believers. Since the belief in the Midnight Mother has appeared in Cadman City, we can use this channel to help it shape a more reasonable, kind and rational appearance to suppress it. its original madness.
It's the same process you use to shape the Holy Light.
Of course, this needs to be handled by professionals.”
“Well, I have a perfect candidate here..”
Murphy blinked and said：
“After a few days, we have to talk to Mr. Crow.”
