Bang!
The white-haired girl fell to the ground, her legs tangled in the skipping rope, and she was in so much pain that tears came out. Ash suppressed his laughter and went over to pull Liz aside to heal her wounds: "This is the first time I've seen a little idiot fall to the ground while skipping rope... Does it hurt so much?"
Liz hid in his arms without saying a word, her body trembling slightly. Ash glanced at the sea witches and thought that although these sea witches were not ugly, they were indeed a little different from the image of mermaids. At least mermaids' teeth should not be jagged, and their pupils should not have so many bloodshot eyes. It was normal for children to be afraid...
Ash didn't like sports either, so he slacked off under the pretext of taking care of the children. The sea witches glanced at them. Although they knew that the Demon Lord, Purple Moth, Rusty Crow and Ghost King would come, they didn't know who was who. After all, the funeral ceremonies were all wearing cloaks and masks, so the sea witches thought that the big and small might be the mascots to make up the numbers in the Doomsday team.
An Nan also withdrew his gaze from Ash and the other man, looked at Helephis, and shook his head slowly: "Impossible."
"Princess Yisu has always been the biggest secret of the Yisu royal family, even more important than the queen herself. This is the foundation of the Yisu dynasty's rule of the gospel for more than 500 years, and it is also the greatest preference of the omniscient weaver."
"Before the Queen is replaced, no one in the outside world can get any information about Princess Yisu. Appearance, age, size, hobbies, and even where she lives... If someone can get information about Princess Yisu, then someone will definitely try to find a way to 'replicate' a princess to seize the First Gospel and the God's Wish!"
"That's right." Helephis nodded. "In the 1668th year of the Gospel, every dynasty change originated from the displacement of the First Gospel. The Elven Dynasty that prospered for hundreds of years, the Dragon Dynasty that died in five generations, the Flame Dynasty with countless ruins... Whenever the ruler deviated from the First Gospel, the dynasty was doomed to perish. On the contrary, only by winning over the First Gospel can there be hope for the continuation of the dynasty."
"Although a large amount of historical data is missing, we can also know from the mermaid's heritage that the previous dynasties could not directly 'create' the First Gospel. The First Gospel at that time could be the daughter of a merchant, the daughter of a noble, the descendant of a magician, or a disabled beggar, a natural-born slave... But no matter what her identity was, when she became the First Gospel, her will was the destiny of the Gospel."
"When the First Gospel comes, all the traitors will die. Dynasties that try to resist, rebel, or betray the First Gospel will often quickly fall apart and be drowned in the river of history, and will not be able to survive until the next Weaving Ceremony."
"The Elf Saint, the modern Dragonborn, the Inheritors of the Flame... all the powerful dynasties have reserved the supreme position for the First Gospel, and some even directly revere the First Gospel as the king, willingly submitting to and serving him."
“But even if they give in to this extent, the dynasty is still not eternal.” The Sea Witch said, “More than one First Gospel has held dual positions, not only serving as the Supreme of the previous dynasty, but also becoming the Empress of the new dynasty… They will cooperate with the rebels from inside and outside, ignite the crumbling wooden house of the old dynasty, and turn it into the spring of the new dynasty.”
"But now, the eternal dynasty has been born. The Isu Dynasty has lasted for nearly 800 years. Every queen has been the first blessing. The dynasty's lifespan is currently twice that of the Elf Dynasty. If it weren't for the sudden doomsday, I have no doubt that the Isu Dynasty would have continued until..."
Helephis paused and said, "So what you said, Purple Moth, is right. The Yisu royal family will never leak any news about the princess. Once everyone knows the princess's characteristics, the First Gospel will change hands, leading to a change of dynasty."
"But the premise is that the Yisu royal family does not want us to know the princess's information."
Purple Moth reacted immediately: "Did the palace take the initiative to leak the secret?"
"As early as the night when the Art List was announced, countless people came to us mermaids, wanting to know if something had happened to the princess." Helephis smiled and said, "During the more than 700 years of the Issu Dynasty's rule, there have been natural and man-made disasters such as the invasion of the virtual realm, the riot of the abyss, and the meteor shower, but every time Queen Issu perfectly eliminated all disasters with the help of the gospel."
"So in their view, the biggest prerequisite for the coming of the apocalypse is that there will no longer be Queen Yisu in the future."
The sea witch swayed in the water. "Thinking further, it's the next queen. The current princess has had an accident, so the gospel weaves such a future. In fact, I'm very surprised why you, Purple Moth, only came to us to ask this important question now."
"Wait." Igula, who had been listening, suddenly asked, "There is a problem here - whether the princess is in trouble or not, the First Gospel will be chosen. The princess doesn't matter. As long as Queen Yisu transfers the throne to the First Gospel and lets the First Gospel rule the country, won't it be able to overthrow the end of the world?"
Harvey asked, "Maybe Queen Yisu doesn't want to?"
"Impossible." Igula said: "According to what you said, this so-called 'First Gospel' is not a person at all, but a deified existence. The so-called change of dynasties is probably because the First Gospel found that the existing interest groups were difficult to change and even hindered social development, so it directly overthrew and started over, opening a new chapter in history by changing dynasties..."
"The most direct evidence is that if Queen Yisu had any so-called 'selfish motives', she would definitely not be willing to abdicate to an outsider, let alone a princess. However, according to historical records, there have been no accidents in the change of emperors every fifty years, and there have been no bad rumors about the Queen. If you hadn't said it so confidently, I would have thought that Queen Yisu was a religious figure you made up."
"Rusty Crow? She is worthy of being the First Trickster." Helephis looked at Igula with great appreciation: "You are right. Although it is not listed on the list, it is generally believed that the reward for the First Gospel is to obtain the highest authority in the Gospel system - even to listen to the Gospel for free - but the price is that she must always maintain good qualities such as kindness, innocence, and fraternity. Therefore, the First Gospel will never be greedy for power, and will only think about problems from the perspective of the whole society."
"There are rumors that the fallen elves and dragon dynasties encountered setbacks in the First Gospel's reforms, and then the First Gospel directly rebelled."
"That's right." Igula said, "If it were someone else's dynasty, there might indeed be deep-rooted interest groups. But the Yisu Dynasty has been under the control of the First Gospel from beginning to end. Even if the throne is passed on to an outsider, there shouldn't be any obstacles."
"That is to say, even if the princess dies, Gospel will still welcome her new queen. The doomsday woven by the future list is the best ending that the next queen can achieve."
The sea witch stared at Igula in a daze, and An Nan also stared at the fraudster. The happy atmosphere of laughter and conversation in the conference room suddenly froze.
Although Ash didn't know what was going on, he was keenly aware of the eldest lady's dissatisfaction, so he took Liz to do push-ups between the two of them - he was responsible for doing the push-ups, and Liz sat on his back and was responsible for acting cute to ease the atmosphere.
Igula and Annan glanced at Ash, and the atmosphere relaxed a little. The eldest lady said, "Rust Crow, do you want to be in charge of this negotiation?"
"I just want to remind you, young lady, that your original negotiation plan has not kept up with the changes." Igula said, "Since the mermaid knew we were coming, you couldn't hide your true goal. Instead of beating around the bush, it's better to be honest. Honesty is the most practical skill in negotiation."
"I didn't expect to hear such words from the Rusty Crow. I won't be surprised even if the Demon Lord says he wants to save the world." Helephis smiled and said, "So, you really want to kill the future First Gospel so that the Purple Moth can obtain the God Lord's wish?"
The mermaid guessed it!
In other words, when they knew Annan came to Nabistin to buy intelligence, they already knew Annan's purpose. Annan was not the first person who wanted to seize the Lord God's wish. Before her, countless forces tried to take away the biggest reward in the Weaving Festival, including organizations such as the Mermaids who had already thoroughly studied the rules of the Weaving Festival. Annan was just a new-age thief who followed the path of his predecessors.
Now the strange changes in the Weaving Festival have resulted in An Nan becoming the only seeded player. As an intelligence dealer, how could the mermaid not think that Purple Moth is trying to play tricks?
Now that I think about it, Helephis asked right away, "Do you want information about the princess?" This was clearly a naked test!
Annan reached out to Igula, signaling the change of leadership in the negotiation. Igula was not polite at all and said to the sea witch: "That's right. And our assassination of the princess is exactly the future you want."
"Why do you say that? I have no feud with the Yisu royal family."
"But you have a problem with the stable society." The Trickster stared at the First Sea Witch: "Right, 'Chaos Witch' Helephis."
"Just because I will practice the Chaos Faction in the future, you conclude that I am an antisocial person?" Helephis suddenly sank into the pool and danced, then emerged from the water wetly. His wet eyes seemed to be able to penetrate into Igula's eyes: "Isn't this too much of a joke?"
Igula's expression remained unchanged as he continued to pedal the elliptical machine: "You are not anti-social, but you are against land society. In other words, the Sirens are a group of people who hate land society."
The faces of the ten sea witches changed drastically, as if Igula's words jumped up and hit them in the face. When the atmosphere became tense again, it was Helephis who raised his hand and stared at the trickster gloomily: "Oh?"
"Look here." Igula looked around: "Gorgeous carpets, bright lights, exquisite carved columns, extremely luxurious decorations... If I don't tell you, who would know that this is a sewer?"
"Look at you. An intelligence group that covers all of Gospel, the undisputed overlord of the other world, known as the mermaids of the Shadow Palace... If I don't say it, who would know that you are just a group of sirens forced to live in the sewers?"
"You always want to dress up as mermaids, but unfortunately, you are just a group of sirens living in the sewers, with rats, cockroaches and bedbugs."
"Even if you have amazing wealth and can see through the secrets of the world, you will never get the corresponding status."
“So you are the biggest supporters of the apocalypse.” Igula said, “Only when chaos comes will you have the opportunity to leave the dirty sewers and build your ideal swampland on land.”
"Wait." Harvey asked curiously, "If they don't want to live in the sewers, why don't they live in the sea or in a lake?"
"Because we are intelligence dealers," Helephis said calmly, "For trade intelligence, we must stay in the heart of the city; for secret transactions, we must stay in the dark of the city. Maybe it was just forced by the situation at the beginning, but later it became a routine that had to be followed, and the sewer became our only choice."
Ash couldn't help but ask, "Then can't you stop being intelligence dealers and make a living by exploiting lake and ocean resources? That's your racial advantage, right?"
"The human race's advantage is farming. Is that your ideal career?" The sea witch sneered, "The sirens can use the gospel system efficiently with their prophetic talents and bring in huge profits by selling intelligence. We have no reason and no way to refuse this gift, just like you can't give up the gospel... No one can go against the environment, not to mention that this is the environment planned by the Lord God."
"Rusty Crow, you are right." Helephis looked at Igula: "On the day when the Art List was announced, we couldn't wait to welcome the end of the world."
Although he had guessed the evil intentions of the sirens from various details, Igula became suspicious of the sea witches' cooperation: "Are you so eager for chaos to come? Aren't you afraid that you will not be able to take advantage of the situation, but will be swallowed up by the doomsday wave?"
Helephis smiled.
"Do you know the "List of the Undestined"? "
