Chapter 89
"The Sacred Valley organization is a group of assassins" Alkors, who was standing on one side, muttered the information he had gathered.
"For the sake of a single ideology, they would go around assassinating people, even at the cost of their lives"
"As long as anyone becomes their assassination target, they will do everything in their power to assassinate that person" Alkors frowned and said: "These people are simply a bunch of lunatics. Their assassination targets include nobles, merchants, rangers, and even the king"
"What's their purpose?" Nala asked while riding on her horse.
"Because they have the Black Abyss trait!" Alkors sighed: "No matter who that person is, even if they are a doctor who has saved countless people, even if they are a wise king, as long as they have the Black Abyss trait, they will kill them"
"And the more powerful these people with the Black Abyss trait are, the higher the ranking they have to deal with" Alkors said with a hint of disgust: "And those who have the Black Abyss trait are completely determined by the people of Sacred Valley through a set of inexplicable methods, and quite a few of them have become targets for no reason at all"
"In short, they are a bunch of lunatics who will do anything for the sake of their ideology"
"What a terrible organization they are" Nala received the information. Some of these were given to her by Eldridge, some were obtained by her through the Church of Divine Grace, and some were collected by some nobles.
When he learned that Nala was going to Sacred Valley to stop the arrival of the Black Abyss, Seth the First laughed so hard that his mouth almost split open and handed over all the information about Sacred Valley and the Black Abyss collected by Interkam to Nala.
According to the people of Sacred Valley, they were the servants of the Great One, they were in charge of the Spring of Life, and everything they did was for the sake of peace in this world.
They were kind to life and never harmed the innocent. They had extremely high requirements for themselves and had clear beliefs. They cherished life very much and believed that every life was precious and that everyone was a friend. To them, it didn't matter if you collected protection fees, cheated, robbed, raped, or killed people, no matter how much of a scumbag you were. However, if you had the characteristics of the Black Abyss, then sorry, you could not be a friend anymore.
If some people in distress came to them for help, they would kindly help them. If you wanted to learn how to fight and assassinate from them, they would also generously teach you. Even if you were seriously injured and needed the Sacred Valley's secret treasure, the Spring of Life, they would give it to you after verifying it. If you ignored the fact that they massacred the people with the Black Abyss trait, they could be called the friendliest organization in the entire continent, even better than the Church of Divine Grace. After all, the Church of Divine Grace could sometimes be very cruel in order to compete for believers.
Sacred Valley was such a peculiar organization.
"This time, Hales will definitely stop us from going to Sacred Valley, and some people will also try to snipe us. Everyone, be careful." Nala looked at the team behind her. There were a few knights who volunteered to follow her, as well as some Knights of Divine Grace and priests sent by the Church of Divine Grace. Other than that, there was no one else.
Over the years, Hales had been taking advantage of the war to grow and create Evil Spirits everywhere. The number of Evil Spirits on the continent was increasing day by day, and because of the war, many people had lost their families. These people who had nothing to lose were easily attracted by Hales' ideals and joined Hales to cause trouble.
Because of this, Hales' strength had also increased very quickly. If it weren't for Negri who tricked their four faces of God, the Chopped Hand Ellis, who was about to take form, Hales would have been even more powerful.
Even so, two of Hales' four faces of God had returned to their positions. One was the Cut Tongue, which represented the unspeakable, and the other was the Dazzled, which represented the unseeable. Hales gave up on Negri and chose another Evil Spirit to cultivate into the Dazzled.
It was said that the third face of God, the Chopped Hand Ellis, also had a target and would soon return to its position. At that time, all that was left was the Decapitated, which represented the unreasonableness.
While riding her horse, Nala didn't stop for even a moment. In her perception, the thing called the Black Abyss was quickly awakening. If she didn't hurry, many people would die because of the precursor to the Black Abyss's arrival.
An arrow flew through the air and nailed itself in front of Nala's horse. Nala couldn't help but pull on the reins. She saw that the archer wasn't hiding himself, but was openly standing in front of her.
"Your Royal Highness, please go back. Do not go to Sacred Valley, or I will do everything in my power to stop you" the man said in a hoarse voice.
Nala looked at this man. A strong body wrapped in layers of bandages, a white mask on his face, short silver hair, and a spirited appearance.
Inexplicably, Nala felt that she had seen this man somewhere before. The man shot an arrow at her, but it was more of a warning, or even protection. Nala could feel that the man had no intention of hurting her.
"I'm sorry to disappoint your kindness, but I must go," Nala said sincerely. "Please step aside."
"Sacred Valley will not recognize you. They won't even open the gate of the camp for you," Jason's voice was particularly hoarse. "You will only die if you go. There's no meaning in it. Go back to Ingmarlo and inherit the throne, and become a qualified monarch!"
"You don't need to worry about the Black Abyss. You should bear the discomfort."
"But I have to bear it now!" Nala was not shaken by the man's sincere words.
"Then I'm sorry." Jason pulled his bow again and said apologetically: "I can only heavily injure you to prevent you from going further"
"Although I need to go through Sacred Valley's test to go to the first flame camp, you said that Sacred Valley will not recognize me, so I understand" Nala's eyes were still clear: "I also have the Black Abyss trait, right?"
"That's right. It's precisely for this reason that Sacred Valley won't let you enter the first flame camp. Because it's very likely that you're not there to continue the flame, but to extinguish it. You might even be on the waiting list." Jason simply admitted.
"Back then, Cardinal Augustin saved me once. For that, I violated the rules of Sacred Valley to inform you, please go back." Jason persuaded her one last time.
"You're Uncle Jason, right?" Nala quickly recalled this man's identity through Jason's words. When he was hired by Augustin to fight against Negri, he was ambushed by the Crowmen, and it was Augustin who saved him.
No matter what, he had a relationship with Nala. He understood Nala's situation and admired her very much. Because of this, he didn't want to let such a person die in vain.
