Chapter 262: Genesis Headquarters and World Tree
Chapter 262
Three days passed in a flash.
No one expected that at noon on this originally peaceful day, the Principality of Cuilan would face a shocking change that would sweep across the country!
At noon, without warning:
The entire Cuilan Principality, from south to north, from east to west, has countless provinces, viscounties, and baronies...
Everywhere fell into chaos almost at the same time!
There were no signs, no warnings, and everything seemed to have been planned long ago.
This sudden disaster, like a bolt from the blue, instantly plunged the Principality of Cuilan from "one of the only dozen or so stable countries on the continent" into the most chaotic abyss!
What is even more shocking and terrifying is that the identities of the rioters are not concealed at all.
They announced their origins, behaved in a high-profile manner, and even wore uniform alchemy robes, shouting slogans with fanatic faces:
"For a brave new world!"
They are all members of the Creation Society!
Among them, some are core members sent by the Creation Society to lurk in the dark;
Some are peripheral elements who mixed in with the previous "Karen aid immigration wave";
What's more, Cuilan's own nobles and alchemists had long been secretly instigated to rebel, and now they suddenly rise up and attack the foundation of the country!
For a moment, the whole country was shocked and in uproar!
The news of this series of riots by the Creation Society spread quickly throughout the Principality of Cuilan like a flood.
Obviously, this is news that the Creation Society took the initiative to release!
Their purpose is simple and direct, which is to attack people’s hearts!
You know, the Creation Society today is no longer the little-known cult organization.
It is the strongest and most terrifying supernatural organization in the entire continent!
Even the "Alchemist Alliance" formed by the whole world was forced to retreat step by step by it, let alone a mere Principality of Cuilan?
So, when the name of the Creation Society came out...
From the earls and viscounts of the duchy to the local barons and town rulers...
Either flee or surrender, but there is no such thing as "fight to the death".
All this is enough to show how terrifying the Creation Society is now. It has already penetrated into people's hearts and makes people shudder at the mention of it.
And just when the whole country was in the most turmoil, in the center of Lanyu Province, in the city of Reina.
On the main street of the city, Earl Weir led local nobles, high-level alchemists of the Quetzalcoatl, alchemist immigrants from various places, and other forces of all sizes gathered together in a mighty force.
There was a huge crowd of people, looking anxious, frightened, confused and doubtful.
They all rushed to the mansion where Lady Quetzalcoatl Evelyn was, just to ask for an answer:
How should Lord Quetzalcoatl respond?
Should they stay and fight to the death to defend the Principality of Cuilan; or should they escape now to preserve their strength and go to other peaceful countries?
However, when everyone got closer, they were surprised to find out.
Located in the core area of Reiner City, on the top of the most luxurious and tallest building, the residence of the Quetzalcoatl Evelynn, there were actually two figures standing quietly.
It was Evelyn and Viscount Lynn of Layton.
They stood on top of a tall building, their clothes fluttering in the wind, overlooking the entire city with calm and composed expressions, as if they had already seen through everything, and as if they were unaware of the riot at all.
This scene, seen by Count Weir and others, made everyone stunned and at a loss.
Count Ville was extremely anxious at the moment, and dared not think too much. He stepped forward quickly and shouted loudly:
"Lord Quetzalcoatl! Lord Layton! Riots have broken out across the country, and the Creation Society is wreaking havoc. What should we do..."
Before he finished speaking, the next moment, a scene that shocked the whole audience suddenly occurred!
On the tall building, Evelin didn’t speak, but raised her jade hand slightly, and her beautiful eyes moved slightly.
A holy and pure light poured down like a curtain of heaven, instantly enveloping everyone present!
The sky suddenly changed...
A holy figure with pure white feathers and mighty divine power slowly emerged in the holy light.
It was the physical manifestation of the Quetzalcoatl totem: the Half-Step Quetzalcoatl!
As soon as it appeared, it suddenly flapped its wings and launched an attack like thunder!
The target was actually several high-ranking members of the Quetzalcoatl standing in the crowd!
"ah……!"
“What…what’s going on?!”
"Lord Quetzalcoatl, what are you going to do?"
The sudden attack instantly terrified everyone and completely panicked.
Even the person being attacked himself was unable to react at all!
However, faced with all this, the Half-Step Quetzalcoatl did not hesitate at all.
As the wings spread, countless holy feathers shot out like sharp arrows and pierced through several people instantly, killing them on the spot!
There was no struggle. There was no resistance.
Under the control of the quasi-gold alchemist Evelyn, these traitors who had long been exposed were killed without any suspense!
When all the feathers had fallen and the blood was still wet, the scene fell into complete silence.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a chill running down their spine, not knowing whether they were shocked or frightened.
At this time, Evelin opened her red lips slightly, her tone cold:
"These people have already defected to the Creation Society, colluding with the outside world and planning a rebellion."
"Deserve to die, deserve to die."
These simple words were like thunder crashing to the ground, shocking everyone's heart!
A traitor in the Creation Society? Right next to them? Has he already been discovered by Lord Quetzalcoatl?
Since Lord Quetzalcoatl knows the enemies of the Creation Society, why can he remain so calm? Could it be that he is confident about the situation?
Sure enough, the next moment, Viscount Leighton, who had always looked calm, finally spoke.
He smiled slightly, his tone was calm and almost casual, but every word was like thunder:
"Everyone, the news about the Creation Society spread too fast... so fast that they themselves didn't realize that this riot would soon collapse, or rather, it had already collapsed."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone looked shocked and looked at each other, as if they suspected that they had heard it wrongly.
The Creation Society... is about to collapse?
How is this possible?
In their perception, the terrifying power of the Creation Society was like a tsunami, sweeping across everything and being invincible, almost dragging the Principality of Cuilan into the abyss in an instant.
However, Lynn's tone at this moment seemed as if what he was talking about was just a trivial episode.
The strange thing was that as soon as he finished speaking, no one at the scene dared to question him, but instead chose to believe him instinctively.
The next moment, Lin En continued calmly:
"They did create a mess... but soon our people cleaned it up one by one."
"From the most remote baronial towns to viscount territories, and then to provinces...nothing is left out."
This time, everyone was completely stunned.
Originally, they thought that the whole country was in irreparable chaos, but from Lin En's tone, they heard... a signal of victory?
Lin En raised her eyes slightly, the faint light in her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
The dangers caused by the Creation Society were all resolved one by one by the people sent by Lin En.
Although the men he sent out were basically third-level wizard apprentices, that is, the third-level Black Iron alchemists in this world.
There are only a very small number of first-level formal wizards who are equivalent to bronze alchemists.
But you must know that realm is realm, and strength is strength.
This is the case for the same realm system, not to mention the gap between the wizard system and this cultivation system that has not even formed a primary civilization!
It's not a world of difference, but it's not much different.
For wizard apprentices in the wizarding world, third-level wizard apprentices often master a variety of unique methods.
Not to mention the third level of Black Iron in the same realm, even some bronze alchemists would find it difficult to have any impact on them.
After all, these wizard apprentices came from a more advanced wizard civilization.
Whether in terms of combat skills, combat methods, and so on, it is undoubtedly an overwhelming victory!
So it can be said that the people sent out by Lin En completed the task perfectly and even won.
This was evident from the extremely shocked expressions on everyone's faces after Lin En told them the results of the battle.
Everyone listened to Lin En's light explanation and felt it was a little unreal.
However, they looked at Lynn and Evelyn who were still calm and knew that this ridiculous thing was most likely true!
………………………………
Just as Lynn and Evelyn were quietly recounting the results of their victory on the tall building.
On the other hand, the main force of the Creation Society's operation also quietly set off...
This is an underground passage that has been abandoned for a long time. Everyone has revealed the light of their totems to illuminate the way ahead.
This team is not large, only about a dozen people, but each of them has a cold aura and a determined look.
They are the core executors of this operation of the Creation Society.
Among them, of course, was Quentin, who was "successfully turned against the government."
Quentin looked around and saw the same group of members who had previously welcomed him to "join the Creation Society."
Everyone looked solemn, as if they regarded this action as some kind of sacred mission.
At this moment, beside him, Polina's eyes were full of tenderness, she clung to his arms tightly and whispered:
"Quentin, after this mission is successful... let's go to the headquarters of the Creation Society together. Under the glory of the World Tree, we will officially complete our wedding ceremony..."
Her words were full of sweetness and longing, as if she meant it all sincerely.
Quentin nodded with a smile on his face, his eyes gentle, as if he was also immersed in love.
But in his heart, he had already memorized the key words such as "World Tree", "Headquarters" and "Glory".
He took the opportunity to pretend to ask casually:
"I heard that... the World Tree and the headquarters are always moving and never fixed. How can we find it?"
Polina smiled softly, as if she was amused by her lover's ignorant curiosity, and explained softly:
"The rumor is true. Our headquarters does exist at the top of the World Tree, and there is only one way to get there... and that is to get 'traction'."
"For example, in the last mission to the Principality of Cuilan, Lord Klaus successfully fed the 'Bloody Tree' and successfully completed the sacrificial ceremony. As a result, he was able to gain traction and was eligible to return to the place where the World Tree is located instantly."
When she said this, her eyes dimmed and her tone was filled with sadness:
"It's a pity, for some reason, Master Klaus didn't come back in the end... It's really..."
Her eyes were slightly red, and her expression was sincere as if she had lost her closest relative, and she seemed to have deep admiration for Klaus.
At this moment, a member of the Creation Society who had been silent all this time spoke coldly, his tone full of murderous intent:
"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents this time."
"We will definitely succeed. Cutting off Viscount Layton's head will also be considered as... clearing the door for Lord Klaus!"
After he finished speaking, more than a dozen people lowered their heads in silence. The atmosphere at this moment became solemn, depressing and resolute.
After a while, everyone finally reached the end of the underground passage.
In front of us is the place where the huge underground transportation pipelines in Reiner City converge.
The crisscrossing underground rivers converge here, like a huge network of veins, transporting the water here to the entire Reiner City, and even further to the hinterland of the Blue Jade Province...
"Humph! Let's do it here!"
A gloomy-faced member of the Creation Society snorted coldly, with unquestionable fierceness in his voice.
As his orders came down, the other members also began to move, and the most eye-catching thing was the two "sacrifices" they put out.
The first thing is a strange black tree.
The trunk is pitch black, the branches are twisted, and layer upon layer of ripples appear on the surface, rising and falling like breathing.
The second item was a bottle of crystal clear blood.
As the blood circulates, it emits a faint golden glow, and one can vaguely feel a sacred yet dangerous aura.
Quentin's pupils shrank slightly. He was very familiar with this breath.
That is exactly the blood breath of Quetzalcoatl!
Quentin had been briefed on the operation, so he knew what each of these things were for.
They will use the power of Quetzalcoatl's bloodline as a guide, combined with the pollution ability of this "sacred tree", to poison the underground water system of Reiner City!
Quetzalcoatl symbolizes holiness and majesty, but its protective power also contains extreme poison.
The Creation Society has made full use of this point.
The divine blood will be used to poison the divine tree, which will then spread through the water system and then enter the air. The entire Reiner city will become a death cell.
Their real goal is to poison Lynn and Evelyn to death in one fell swoop, completely plunder the Quetzalcoatl bloodline, complete the "sacrifice", exchange for the qualification to pull the World Tree, and return to the headquarters!
His eyes were slightly cold, but he still had a flattering smile on his face. He cooperated with others in moving materials and arranging the array base.
In fact, he had already passed the information to Lin En, but he had not waited for the other party's signal to order action.
At this moment, Quentin couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Could it be that... Viscount Layton can't make it here in time? Will he be poisoned to death by these lunatics?"
Just as his mind was full of random thoughts and he was extremely anxious, a subtle message suddenly came through the mental channel.
Quentin's expression was slightly shocked, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The opportunity has come!
He rushed forward without hesitation and hugged the sacred tree that had been integrated with the blood of Quetzalcoatl!
"Quentin!? What are you doing!?"
"Are you crazy? Put down the sacred tree now!!"
The members of the Creation Society were filled with shock and anger, and they all shouted loudly, totally unable to believe the actions of "their own people" before them.
Facing the astonished looks and furious roars from all around, Quentin simply smiled faintly and sincerely, his voice calm and leisurely:
"I'm sorry, I'm a... good person."
The next moment.
The entire underground space shook suddenly, as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, and an extremely powerful energy wave pressed down from the surface!
Two powerful auras, like falling from the sky, came straight towards us!
Exactly, Lynn and Evelyn!
The pressure came before the breath arrived. The underground space was like an ice cave, and the faces of all the members of the Creation Society turned pale!
