Chapter 330 Divergence of Faith
Lin Yan's method seems a bit rough, but it is the most effective method now, because they don't have much time left for them, so they can't get involved with these villagers here.
However, Ying still feels a little dissatisfied, because no matter what, these people are her people. If they hurt her people in front of her, any demon god would not tolerate it.
Fortunately, she was still rational, so she knew very well that Lin Yan had no choice but to do so.
In this case, there is no need for Ying to hide her identity. She directly said in public that she was General Lei Ding and the current Imperial Office of the Inami Wife.
But unexpectedly, these villagers did not buy it because she was General Thunder and Lightning.
It was not because they didn't believe it, but they scoffed at it, as if they didn't take General Thunder and Lightning seriously at all.
This is too strange. As Haiqi Island, which was also under the rule of other demons, even if he did not believe in General Thunder and Lightning, he would definitely not have such an attitude.
Moreover, Haiqi Island was included in the Rice Wife Realm some time ago, but it has been a long time since Heguan was included in the Rice Wife Realm. These villagers should not have reacted like this.
There will be evil when something goes wrong. Lin Yan asked these villagers why they reacted like this when facing General Thunder and Lightning.
The answer they gave was also very clear. They did not believe in General Thunder and Lightning, but believed in the Thunder Demon Bird who had protected them during the War of Demon God.
Lin Yan is of course very familiar with the name of Thunder Demon Bird. When he was in Mond, he had seen the true body of Thunder Demon Bird in the Midsummer Courtyard and used the ore it left behind to create the Spear of Red Demon Bird.
Nowadays, Zhugui's Spear can be said to be his most advantageous weapon, but the name of Thunder Demon Bird appears in Rice Wife.
The two regions of Dao Wife and Mond are far apart, so they should not be related to each other.
The only reasonable explanation is that the thunder demon bird Lin Yan saw in Mond is not the same as the thunder demon bird on Heguan Island today.
Because the Thunder Demon Birds said that they have a clan, it was normal to find that this situation.
But this makes it even more difficult to explain, because in the impression of Ying, although the people of Heguan Island were a little dissatisfied with her and her sister's real rule, no matter what, there is still the most basic politeness as a subject.
Before the change occurred in Heguan Island, their attitude was completely different from now.
In other words, the culprit of everything is the people who caused the mutation of Heguan Island, but unlike before, these villagers will most likely become the key factor in their progress.
So in the next few hours, Lin Yan and others kept interrogating these villagers. At the beginning, they were not willing to say anything, but as time passed, they began to gradually express some useful information.
For example, not long ago, some strange creatures suddenly broke into Heguan Island. At the beginning, the villagers were just wary of it, but unexpectedly, the first thing those creatures did after landing on the island was to worship the three thunderbird perch on Heguan Island.
These perches were transformed by the power of the Thunder Demon Bird after his death during the War of the Demon Gods. The creatures seemed to be trying to revive the Thunder Demon Birds, and also told the villagers a so-called truth.
According to the historical books of Dao Wife, the Thunder Demon Bird was defeated by its enemies, so after his death, he entrusted Heguan Island and the residents of the island to Barr, the overlord of the Dao Wife area at that time.
Even the extremely descendants of Heguan Island believe in this, so they have always maintained a respectful attitude towards General Thunder and Lightning.
But those creatures said that the Thunder Demon Bird did not die at the hands of its enemies, but was killed by General Thunder and Lightning.
The reason is very simple. General Lei Ding wanted to expand his territory, so he took this worst strategy and included Heguan Island in the territory of Rice Wife.
At the beginning, the people on Tsuruka Island did not believe these words, because in their opinion, it was just a means used by those creatures to provoke their relationship with the shogunate.
But as the thunderbird perch has continued to show visions in recent days, and even vaguely shows signs of recovery, everyone's hearts are shaken.
Coupled with the constant verbal stimulation of the creatures, everyone firmly believed in the truth they said and captured the shogunate army stationed in Tsukuwan Island with their own hands.
Because they were facing ordinary people, the soldiers of the shogunate army did not dare to fight back at all. They were caught without even the chance to escape and used it as a sacrifice to resurrect the thunder demon bird. Even the scout team sent to Heguan Island later was the same.
As for the sudden thick fog on Heguan Island, this may be a sign of the resurrection of the Thunder Demon Bird. Therefore, in recent days, people on the island have been extremely pious and are ready to welcome the return of the Thunder Demon Bird anytime and anywhere.
After listening to the stories of these villagers, Lin Yan knew that they were fooled, and those creatures who suddenly landed on the island, if they were not mistaken, should be creatures from the Dark Outside Sea.
Moreover, they want to resurrect the Thunder Demon Bird through some means. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a demon god or a quasi-demon god-level powerful enemy among the enemies this time.
Although Lin Yan was ready to fight the demon when he first set off, just as that moment was approaching, he felt very troublesome.
Because these villagers have been completely brainwashed, no matter how they whitewash General Thunder and Lightning, they cannot shake their hearts.
There was no way. In order to prevent them from hindering everyone's actions, Lin Yan could only order these villagers to be temporarily placed under house arrest and to restore their freedom after the matter on Heguan Island was resolved.
Although Ying felt a little disgusted with Lin Yan's behavior, she did not say it out because she knew very well that in this special situation, she could only use some special means.
Lin Yan's choice to be such a bad person makes people feel a little selfless.
Later, they learned from the villagers that the place where the sacrifice was located was a ritual venue located in the center of Heguan Island.
After everyone learned the news, they immediately went there without stopping because they knew very well that the captured shogunate soldiers might not have been sacrificed, but were swallowed by creatures from the Dark Outside Sea.
They can only pray now that they can leave some survivors, otherwise losing them will have a great impact on the morale of the entire shogunate army.
......
Before they arrived, Lin Yan and the others saw some patrolling creatures in the Dark Outer Sea nearby. As they guessed, all of this was caused by the creatures in the Dark Outer Sea.
However, because most of these patrol troops are creatures with low intelligence and do not even have the ability to speak, Lin Yan and the others cannot ask for some useful information from each other.
