Chapter 323: Rebellion of the Mother Goddess Church
While Josh and others were discussing, Gwen in the next room suddenly frowned.
She looked back out the window and pricked up her ears, as if listening to something.
Her expression quickly became serious, and then she put down the half-finished bowl of porridge, stood up and ran towards Qiao Xi.
"Officiant, Officiant! Something happened!" Gwen shouted loudly as she ran. She passed through dilapidated houses. The doors opened and the believers heard her shouts and walked out of the houses.
Some people were still holding bowls of porridge, while others had already picked up sticks and stones from the ruins.
Inside the house, Josh was already quite tempted by his companions' persuasion. He made up his mind that even if he would be expelled by the lord, he would go back to Castel to take a look. After all, that remote island was his hometown.
Just when he was about to make up his mind, he suddenly heard Gwen's shouting outside.
They looked at each other, stood up immediately and opened the door.
The thin girl came running over with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Qiao Xi, she immediately said, "Master Priest, there are cultists everywhere outside! There's a rebellion in Blood Harbor, and it's those people from the Mother Goddess Church!"
Josh was shocked. He didn't have time to ask Gwen where the news came from. He looked at the believers pouring out of the houses and shouted, "Notify the brothers and sisters who are still outside immediately and ask them to return quickly. Those who can hold weapons will guard the street entrance with me, and the rest of you can move the supplies! Quick!"
The chaos in Blood Harbor had been going on for a long time. Qiao Xi and his companions had already made many preparations. He went out with a group of believers, and the remaining companions each led a team to issue orders and gather people in an orderly manner.
The Church of the Mother Goddess, this cult organization has no fewer members than them, and has a very deep foundation in the slums. If they are ready to launch a rebellion, the entire Blood Harbor will be dragged down.
"Damn it, why did these people suddenly go crazy? They want to attack the harbor guards? We may not be able to do it."
The prince's ability to gain a foothold in the chaotic Blood Harbor was not due to luck. The harbor guards he personally trained directly created a stable upper city area in Blood Harbor. Any organization that wanted to provoke him had to consider the power of the musketeers.
Those soldiers were clearly a group of scattered individuals a few months ago, but after being trained by him and Galahad, they became so capable in fighting.
Having said that, if the Mother Goddess Church is determined to rebel, it is hard to say whether the prince can suppress it.
No one can tell how many crimes are hidden in the streets and alleys of Blood Harbor. The major forces are intertwined and one move can affect the entire body. It is very likely that the entire Blood Harbor will be dragged into the water.
Qiao Xi now only hopes to keep the believers of the secret order. There is not much he can do for the believers, nothing more than a bowl of hot porridge. Now that the believers are willing to follow him, he does not want to let them down.
At this moment, the streets were crowded with people.
The hooded priestess of the Mother Goddess and the believers with anger in their eyes walked silently towards the upper town of Blood Harbor.
Qiao Xi and a group of believers stood on the street which was simply fenced off with wood and stone, and watched the cultists walk past them with caution.
Several Mother Goddess priests turned to look over and took off their hoods.
There were several exclamations from the believers behind Josh.
"Aunt Gayleigh!? Little Brendon!?"
"Why are you here?"
"Damn it! Do you know what you are doing? Come back now! You will die!"
"Do you know how terrible the muskets of the harbor guards are? One bang and you'll be turned into a corpse!"
The followers of the secret order persuaded eagerly.
"I know." The young Mother Goddess priest suddenly spoke up, "My father was killed by them. A hole was punched in his stomach and he bled for a long time before he died. They just watched."
"He just stole half a bag of food. It was beans for horses. A horse needs two bags a day. With only half a bag, my mother and sister would not starve to death."
"When he died, I hid aside. I was so scared that I couldn't move. I didn't dare to go out."
He looked over here quietly, his eyes scanning everyone's face, then he shook his head gently and put on his hood.
"Now, I'm going to find him."
The Mother Goddess' team passed in front of them in silence, and no one spoke.
My mother-in-law's figure was moving quickly through the alleys.
Group after group of cultists from the Mother Goddess Church passed by her, but no one noticed her.
She held a piece of paper in her hand, with an address written on it in a slightly childish handwriting, and the word "Josh" written at the back, circled.
This note suddenly appeared in the mansion where several people were.
My mother-in-law was the first to discover the news of the Blood Harbor Rebellion. Just as Castel and his men were about to send someone to inform the prince, this note appeared in the mansion.
Although it was very strange, my mother-in-law still decided to take a look.
After all, Josh is from Castel. Although he hasn't contacted them for some reason, Zoe and the others actually care about him very much.
As a Fire Moth superhuman, my mother-in-law is best at hiding and escaping. Even if it is a trap, she is confident that she can get out of it safely.
So she came, and soon, she met several people who had gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Josh?"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Qiao Xi turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice, but was surprised to find that it was a stranger.
He blinked, a little confused: "Who are you?"
"You can call me mother-in-law. I work for Lord Xius. I am a transcendent."
Time was running out, so the mother-in-law simply revealed her identity.
At this time, several people in the room stood up in surprise. They were in the center of the secret society. They had never expected that someone could sneak in directly without seeing the sight of so many believers around them, and they only mistook the mother-in-law as a believer.
"You said you were sent by the Lord, how do you prove it?"
"You owe Hughes eighty-five boxes of soap, thirty of which are berry scented, thirty of which are grass scented, and twenty-five of which are flower scented. You secretly kept fifteen bars of soap, all of which are flower scented, and there are seven more..."
"Alright, alright, we believe your identity!" Qiao Xi quickly stood up and interrupted her mother-in-law. "Master Superhuman, are you here to punish us?"
The mother-in-law glanced around. She had sensed something was wrong when she came in. She had also heard a few words of the prayers the believers had just chanted. Seeing Josh's nervous look, she naturally knew what he was afraid of.
"No, it is the Lord's business to punish you. I am here to take you home."
