Chapter 434: Conversion
Conquer the sea, the Natsuki Islands.
In the morning, somewhere on the main island of the Xiashu Islands, in front of a large wooden house, there was chaos.
The broken floor, broken trees, and the injured Xia Shu warriors who fell to the ground, all these scenes showed a scene that had just experienced a battle. The targets of the battle were the Xia Shu warriors who were guarding here, and a certain man who was supposed to come here to deliver a message.
"Let me go! Let me go, Sukai! I am here to convey the order of the Amman priest! How dare you do this to me!"
Obuye, being escorted by several soldiers, knelt on the broken floor, shouting loudly with an angry look. In front of him stood a Xiashu warrior named Sukai, who was the guard here. Behind him in the big house, many Glorious pilgrims were imprisoned.
"I know you're here to give us orders, but what are the orders? To avoid confusion, can you please tell us in detail what the orders are?"
Standing in front of Obuye, Su Kai, wearing a short shirt and bare arms, spoke seriously to the man in front of him. Obuye was stunned after hearing his words, and then continued to speak.
"Priest Amman has received a response from the Glow. They rejected our conditions! Priest Amman asked me to tell you to kill all the hostages immediately! This is our response to the Glow! I have Priest Amman's walking stick as proof!"
Obuye spoke loudly to Su Kai, while his eyes were fixed on the Amman crutch that fell on the ground in the distance. After listening to Obuye's words, Su Kai took a breath and then spoke.
"Huh... then what you said is correct. The one to be arrested is you. Take him away and lock him up."
Su Kai responded so easily, and then ordered his men to lift Obuye up and pull him away. Upon seeing this, Obuye could not help but struggle and shout.
"Su Kai, you can't arrest me! I'm here to convey important orders! The Glow doesn't treat us as human beings, we must make them pay... wooa ...
Obuye yelled excitedly, and Su Kai seemed to be annoyed that Obuye was too noisy. He directly used his ability to stir up a ball of water from the small ditch nearby and hit Obuye's head, wrapping his entire head. Obuye did not suffocate immediately because he was a water magic user, but he could not speak loudly because of this.
After watching Obuye being escorted away, Su Kai stepped forward and picked up Amman's walking stick on the open ground. After looking around for a few times, he finally saw Amman, the priest of Fengshu, slowly coming out from behind a tree not far away.
"Priest Amman, I have done what you ordered. As soon as this guy Obuye said he wanted to kill the hostages, I would arrest him..."
Seeing Anman coming to him, Su Kai handed the crutch in his hand to Anman and spoke. After taking his cane, Anman nodded slowly with a stern expression and then spoke.
"Thank you for your hard work. Next, you should release all the Radiant Pilgrims, gather them together, and arrange for them to rest in a better place."
"Yes, I'll wait until I get Obuye done."
Following Amman's instructions, Su Kai also left with the remaining subordinates and disappeared from the scene after a while. After Su Kai left, the white sister Vanya was slowly walking out and came to Amman. After taking a look at the crutch in his hand, Amman couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I never expected that... it turns out that we have been used from the very beginning. We thought we were fighting for our beliefs, but in the eyes of others, we were just being manipulated at will to deal with the warriors of the Radiant Light. If it weren't for you, Miss Vanya, I don't know what Xia Shu's fate would be now... I'm afraid that after being destroyed by the Radiant Light, his remains were devoured by the evil snakes and dogs."
Amman sighed like this. After listening to Amman's words, Vanya also spoke slowly.
"I just did what I should do. As a remnant of the goddess's faith, I can't just watch Xia Shubu suffer a tragic end."
Listening to Vanya's words, Amman was silent for a while. He turned around with his crutches, looked at Vanya and continued to speak.
"This time, it's all thanks to Miss Vanya... But I'm also a little curious, Miss Vanya, how did you know that there was something wrong with Obuye? Was it the evil snake behind our actions this time?"
"This is actually very simple, because when I asked Xia Shu how you got the news that our fleet was under guard, you responded that it was brought back by Obuye who had just gone out for business, saying that he heard it at sea. But this statement is completely untenable to me. I have been on the pilgrimage fleet, and I know that our fleet was under guard entirely because of a temporary situation caused by an unexpected incident. This accident happened in the distant city of Navaha. At that time, the glow blocked the entire Navaha port. Without using extraordinary abilities to investigate, ordinary people would not be able to know what happened in the port.
"Because this incident is most likely not circulated in the ordinary maritime merchant circle. Even if it has been circulated, it should be among the maritime merchants near Navaha. It will take at least several days for it to spread. But according to what you said, Priest Amman, Obuye returned to Xiashu four days ago, and our fleet had an accident at about the same time. This means that Obuye knew all about our situation when we just had an accident and returned to Xiashu. This is incredible. This information cannot be obtained by asking in the maritime merchant circle as he said. Someone in Navaha discovered it and notified him using some extraordinary means, so he should have some close connection with an extraordinary force outside of Xiashu."
Vanya responded to Amman seriously. After hearing what Vanya said, Amman couldn't help but touch his beard and then responded with emotion.
"So that's how it is...Except for Obuye, we don't usually have many people active at sea too far from Xia Shu. As an ocean-based Obuye, he has always been our main channel for obtaining information from the outside world. We have never questioned his information...But we didn't expect that Obuye would one day abandon the goddess and fall into the arms of the evil snake...This may also be related to the fact that he has been away for a long time...
"By the way, Miss Vanya, how do you know that Obuye's faith is that evil snake?"
Amman continued to ask Vanya, and Vanya smiled and continued to answer slowly.
"I actually didn't know which side he was on at first, so I was actually using rhetoric to trick him when I was talking to him just now. Priest Amman, you were a little far away from us just now and you might not have heard clearly. I used ambiguous words to hint that he and I were in the same group, and because of that, he let out the key information during the conversation, and that's how I knew he was a follower of the Abyss Serpent."
Vanya finished speaking. After listening to her words, Aman nodded thoughtfully, then he sighed and continued to speak to Vanya with narrowed eyes.
"I never thought that Miss Vanya, at such a young age, you would have such a meticulous mind and clever schemes. This really opened my eyes. Having someone like you as a helper makes me feel at ease, but also worried."
"Priest Amman, you are too kind. I have been upholding my faith in the goddess under the light for a long time. This requires me to be careful and meticulous at all times. There is no harm in thinking more about it.
"You know too little about me, and it's normal to have this kind of worry. I understand, but you don't have to worry too much about it. We are both loyal believers of the goddess. Everything I do will not hurt Xia Shu in any way."
Facing Amman's remarks, Vanya responded frankly, while Amman was silent for a while and then spoke with a long sigh.
"I hope so. After all, Xia Shu has no other choice now."
After Anman finished speaking, he paused for a moment, looked at the towering trees in the distance, and then continued speaking.
"Okay, now let's go back and continue discussing how to fake conversion. After we make a preliminary decision this morning, we will immediately let the church spread the message."
"Well... I hope everything ends peacefully."
…
"Huh... finally... the traitor who is most likely to make mistakes has been caught. Xia Shu's troubles are finally almost solved. It's so tiring..."
