Chapter 645: Revisiting the Old Place

"A place of abandonment."

A trace of nostalgia appeared on Enzo's face, and the feeling of revisiting his old place gave him an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Then, he looked forward.

Not far away is a port, and some figures can be vaguely seen. Among them, a sea tribesman with fish gills growing on both sides of his face is steering a small boat out to sea and starting a day's work.

"This should be...Silver Moon Kingdom, right?"

A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face. According to the records on the map, after crossing the Devil's Sea from the Northern Continent and arriving at the Abandoned Land, the first kingdom was the Silver Moon Kingdom, and the city in front of him was Moonlight City.

Every once in a while, a ghost ship will arrive here from the Northern Continent. Those young people with wizard dreams will embark on a journey to the Northern Continent. After a cruel test, those who finally survive will to join the academy.

Enzo also experienced this a long time ago.

However, compared to the rich northern continent, the resources of the Abandoned Land are scarce, so the possibility of giving birth to a genius is very slim. Myrcella, who has the top talent, may already be the best being in the history of the Abandoned Land.

"Hey! Guest."

At this time, a voice suddenly came to my ears, saying, "You just came back from the sea? Do you want to stay in a hotel? The dancers in Moonlight City are very beautiful!"

Enzo raised his eyebrows and looked over.

It was a short dwarf, showing a flattering expression, trying his best to win over the guests.

"Lead the way." Enzo thought for a moment and threw a gold coin casually.

The dwarf's eyes suddenly widened, and there was an expression of excitement on his face. The value of one gold coin could be worth several years of his work. Even in the abandoned land, the price of buying a slave under normal circumstances was only ten gold coins.

If it is a time of war, the price will be even lower.

"Wow! You are such a generous guest, please come with me." The dwarf had a smile on his face and almost fell down on the ground to lead Enzo.

Enzo shook his head and followed the dwarf's footsteps.

For wizards, the so-called gold is just a kind of metal, an inferior metal with no value. In the world of war ghosts, there are countless veins containing gold. If Enzo is willing, he can use gold to build a kingdom. It's all a piece of cake.

The reason why mortal society uses gold as its trading currency is just a tradition passed down from ancient times. After the rise of wizard civilization, it also considered changing to a currency system, but in the end it failed for unknown reasons.

Following the footsteps of the dwarf, Enzo came to a hotel.

Pushing the door open, there was a lively scene inside. The coquettishly dressed maids were walking around carrying food, allowing the guests to touch their private parts, and just smiled and cursed.

"plz follow me."

The dwarf took Enzo to the second floor and came to a clean room. Then, after asking Enzo if he needed any other services, he turned and left.

"One hundred years..."

Enzo looked at the room in front of him, something strange flashed in his eyes. It had been more than a hundred years since he left the abandoned land and embarked on the wizard's journey. When he returned again, Moonlight City did not seem to have changed much.

"What's next?" Enzo muttered to himself.

In a moment, he had a plan. Now that he has returned to the abandoned land, he must first go back to Kaiyuan City to take a look. Before Enzo left, the five cities in that plain had been conquered by his father O'Quinn. .

"If nothing else, my father has fulfilled his dream."

Enzo chuckled lightly. O'Quinn's lifelong dream, in addition to being promoted to a heavenly knight, was to establish his own kingdom. With the five major cities on the plains being captured, establishing a kingdom was a matter of course.

However, that was already after Enzo left.

While Enzo was thinking, there was a sudden noise outside. He opened the window and looked outside, and saw a group of figures wearing black robes and masks covering their faces parading on the street.

"This is?"

Enzo frowned slightly, walked out of the room, and came to the street. The surrounding civilians were watching, including the short dwarf.

"Who are they?" Enzo asked.

"The guests don't know yet?"

A trace of surprise appeared on the dwarf's face, and he explained, "These are believers of the Church of the Night, and they are spreading the belief of the Goddess of the Night. According to legend, the Goddess of the Night is the ruler of the long night and one of the ten true gods in the world!"

"This world will one day be shrouded in darkness."

"Only those who believe in the goddess of the night can gain eternity in the Kingdom of God. Those who abandon the goddess of the night will perish in the endless night."

The dwarf's simple words told the creed of the Church of the Night.

A strange look appeared on Enzo's face.

"You are spreading your faith so blatantly?" He raised his eyebrows, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and murmured: "It's no wonder, the resources in the abandoned land are too scarce, and even the parliament is not willing to do it here. It’s a waste of time in this area, and there may not even be a wizard in the entire abandoned land.”

"Therefore, if the Church of the Night spreads its faith here, it will not receive too much attention or suppression."

The Abandoned Lands is an area abandoned by wizard civilization.

Strictly speaking, this is just a deserted island with scarce resources. The total population of the nine islands may be less than 10 million. This number is not even comparable to the entire Northern Continent, not to mention the fraction of the Dark Territory.

The kingdom of the Abandoned Land is fundamentally different from the kingdom of the Dark Territory.

At the beginning, on the Frozen Plain, O'Quinn controlled five small towns and dared to establish a kingdom, which is enough to prove how backward the so-called kingdom is.

However, although the Abandoned Land is short of resources and population.

But for the Goddess of Night, it is a good place to spread faith. This place has not been taken seriously by the Parliament for many years. The Church of Night can spread faith blatantly and even describe the Goddess of Night as one of the ten true gods in the world.

Enzo sneered at this.

Those who have received wizard education in the Northern Continent should know that although the Goddess of Night is an ancient god, strictly speaking, she is only a fourth-level creature in the era when the gods ruled the world in the First Age.

There are thousands of gods like the Goddess of Night!

But in the Abandoned Land, the Goddess of Night has transformed herself into one of the ten true gods in the world in the mouths of believers, in order to fool the ignorant civilians.

"The night is coming, full of dangers!"

"Mortals will eventually sink into the long night. Only by believing in the great Goddess of Night can they get eternity under the protection of God!"

"The Goddess of Night is watching everything..."

On the street, the believers of the Church of Night walked forward while chanting the church's code loudly. In the oracle passed to them by the Goddess of Night, the world will soon usher in an eternal night.

Only those who believe in the Goddess of Night can get the protection of the gods.

"What nonsense."

Enzo couldn't help shaking his head, and complained helplessly in his heart. The Goddess of Night really did everything to spread her faith. However, even if she converted everyone in the Abandoned Land into believers, how much faith power could she harvest?

In any case, the Abandoned Land is too small.

The limitation of resources leads to slow population development. Even if the Goddess of Night becomes the ruler of this abandoned land, it will take a long time to develop the population of this area.

Enzo was thinking, and the Church of Night had gone far away.

However, even if it was only a short appearance, the Church of Night still bewitched many people. There were several adventurers in the tavern who believed the lies that the night was coming and hurriedly joined the team of the Church of Night.

"I didn't expect there would be unexpected gains."

Enzo's eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips slightly raised. Because of the crisis in the sea blue world, he urgently needed to find the news of the Aurain Core, and the Aurain Core he got before had some connection with the Goddess of Night.

Originally, he just wanted to go back to the abandoned land to take a look, but he found the Church of the Goddess of Night here.

Unlike the way of communication in the northern continent, the Church of Night is blatant in the abandoned land, and they don't need to worry about the suppression of the parliament, so they walk unscrupulously on the streets.

Even deceived the world with the lie that the night is coming.

The blatant behavior of the Church of the Night in the Abandoned Land gave Enzo a glimmer of opportunity. Perhaps he could join this organization, infiltrate the upper echelons, and investigate the clues about the Goddess of Night.

Today, there are three gods in the Church of the Night.

The Goddess of Night, the Weeping Lady, and the God of Giant Spiders!

Enzo has dealt with all three gods. Except that the Goddess of Night is slightly stronger, the Weeping Lady and the God of Giant Spiders are both vulnerable. Enzo alone is enough to fight against the three.

What's more, although the Abandoned Land was abandoned by the Parliament, it still belongs to the category of the wizard world.

In this continent, Enzo can exert all his strength.

Even directly opening the dimensional gate and summoning the soldiers of the War Ghost World, there is no chance to confront the Church of the Goddess of Night head-on.

"Forget it, let's go back to Kaiyuan City first."

Enzo shook his head. There was still plenty of time. Even if he planned to join the Church of the Goddess of Night, he was not in a hurry. He decided to go back to Kaiyuan City first.

The next day, early morning.

Enzo left Moonlight City early in the morning and took a group to Kaiyuan City as an adventurer.

The reason why he didn't go alone was because Enzo wanted to get some information.

Gululu!

The wheels of the carriage rolled on the road, making a friction sound. In the carriage, several figures curled up in the corners. Like Enzo, they were adventurers who planned to go to the Cold Plain.

Enzo looked around.

The strength of several adventurers was pitifully weak, even worse than knights, and they were completely mortals. Two of them were brothers, and the other two were women dressed as men, with simple disguises on their faces.

However, this level of disguise may deceive ordinary people.

As a universal wizard, mortals have no secrets in Enzo's eyes. If he wants, he can even easily see through the other's clothes, even the internal organs and organs can be seen at a glance.

"Brothers, are you all heading to the Icy Plains?"

In the carriage, two women disguised as adventurers, the older one suddenly said, "I heard that the Kaiyuan Kingdom is in civil strife, and the Icy Plains has long been covered by war. Isn't it dangerous to go there now?"

"Hehe! Of course it's dangerous."

Beside him, the bearded man chuckled and said, "But, in our line of work, as long as there is enough profit, it doesn't matter if we take some risks, as long as we can earn gold coins."

"Now there is civil strife in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan, Prime Minister Edgar and the new king Dylan are both recruiting soldiers, and we brothers are planning to be mercenaries."

The two adventurer brothers were careless and had no defense against the people in the carriage.

Enzo raised his eyebrows.

Kingdom of Kaiyuan?

Hearing this familiar name, Enzo could almost conclude that this was the kingdom established by his father O'Quinn, but it was now in civil strife, and the Prime Minister and the new king were fighting.

"Dylan..." Enzo muttered to himself.

He didn't know who this person was, but since he could be called the new king, it was likely that he had O'Quinn's bloodline. It seemed that when Enzo went to the northern continent to embark on the extraordinary road, O'Quinn had married a wife.

And successfully continued his bloodline.

"Hey, isn't it the same for you to go to the Cold Plain?"

The bearded man chuckled and asked, "The Kingdom of Kaiyuan is in chaos now. Not only are there constant internal disputes, but the Eagle Kingdom and the Red Castle Kingdom in the south also seem to want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize benefits."

Enzo didn't speak, but listened quietly.

The two bearded brothers seemed to be very talkative. After someone asked, they took the initiative to open the conversation and talked about the current situation in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan. This civil strife started about a year ago, and things were very difficult.

As the prime minister, Edgar was not satisfied with his power after becoming the second only to the king of the kingdom. He constantly provoked the new king Dylan, and finally rebelled, which was naturally suppressed by Dylan.

However, Prime Minister Edgar has been in control of the government for many years.

He already has his own power, and even five of the seven cities in the kingdom are loyal to him. In addition, he has the combat power of a great knight, so he naturally does not take the young new king Dylan seriously.

The two sides have started a war since then.

In fact, Prime Minister Edgar has the ability to defeat the new king Dylan, but he is unwilling to consume too much strength in this war, because the Eagle Kingdom and the Red Castle Kingdom next to him are eyeing it covetously, wanting to take advantage of the conflict.

Therefore, the situation in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan is now in a stalemate.

This can also be considered a good thing for the new king Dylan. After all, there is enough time to recruit troops to fight against Prime Minister Edgar. The adventurers who went from Moonlight City to the Cold Plains were all driven by interests.

"Sure enough, my father is dead."

Enzo shook his head. The Kingdom of Kaiyuan has been established for a hundred years, and the new king Dylan is now the fourth king. Even O'Quinn, as a sky knight, cannot resist the invasion of time.
