Chapter 373: Heretic
Chapter 375
The Yi people have two things that they can do the most, one is all kinds of strange and ingenious small objects, unique thinking, and the other is women, from the Yi people, wrapped in exotic women, has always been sought after by the upper echelons of the empire.
It is said that there is a concubine Hu from the Yi nationality in the palace of Emperor Ming.
These two things, Cheng Dalei doesn't care about the latter...... Well, I don't think so. But for the former, it was exactly what he needed.
Cheng Dalei looked at the outrageously handsome man in front of him, and Kane Doyle was afraid that Cheng Dalei had more than one thing to hide.
"Huh!" Cheng Dalei suddenly became angry: "I am a heavenly kingdom and tolerate all things, but I will never tolerate deception, since you refuse to tell the truth, it seems that I just need to sell you as a slave." ”
Kane's face turned pale with fright, and of course, his skin was already white. Hearing Cheng Dalei say this, he hurriedly said: "Cheng Dangjia, I have said everything to you, and I dare not have a word of deception." ”
"Heh, hahaha, do you really think I'm a deceitful? ”
Cheng Dalei sneered, making Kane shudder. Xu Shenji said on the side: "If you have anything, just tell the truth, you can say whatever you want, our big boss hates others to lie to him the most." ”
Kane sighed, and then told the truth, which was roughly the same as he had just said, except that he had hidden some details.
The Norton dynasty had zero tolerance for infidels, which could not be compared to the Empire. In the empire, as long as you don't rebel, everything else is easy to discuss.
Of course, the empire also has all kinds of fools and fools, and believes in all kinds of gods. But they are all more pragmatic, that immortal worships that, and secretly arranges its immortals, which is also ruthless at all.
This could not be done in the Norton Dynasty, and whoever dared to say a word of the gods in the Norton Dynasty would be put to death on the gallows.
The gods believed in by the Norton dynasty were the almighty God of Creation, and in the concept of the Holy See, the God of Creation ruled everything, from the stars to the grass and trees. However, there are still people at the bottom who believe in various gods.
For example: the god of the earth, the god of life, the god of ice, the god of fire.
Those who believe in the creator god can be called Old Religion, and those who believe in gods can be called Protestantism. Protestantism was already a big force in the kingdom, and it was not a straggler, and even secretly had the support of the dynasty.
After all, the royal power is also not willing to submit to divine power. During this period, things were very complicated, and Kane did not say in detail to Cheng Dalei, and the final result was that Protestantism failed anyway.
The remnants of Protestantism, led by the young leader, broke through layers of difficulties, overcame difficult natural conditions, and fled to the East.
Just because they heard that there was a huge empire in the East: rich, prosperous, peaceful, with a strong culture. More importantly: there is no religion.
So the purpose of this group of people coming to the empire is: to preach.
Cheng Dalei was a little speechless, how kind of dedication do these foreigners have for mission.
Nowadays there are very few Protestants, probably fifty or sixty people, including blacksmiths, tanners, alchemists, apothecaries, navigators, adventurers, winemakers...... There are even magicians.
Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up when he listened, would these people carry technology that the empire did not have.
"This ...... There are still magicians in the kingdom of Norton?"
"Yes. ”
"Is it true?" asked Cheng Dalei curiously.
"Of course it's true. Norton became excited: "They sacrifice their souls to the gods, and they have the energy given by the gods, which can summon thunder and lightning and bring the dead back to life. ”
"You've seen it with your own eyes?"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, and I swear by my faith that I won't lie. ”
"Then you also believe in the spirit of the wind, can you show me?" Cheng Dalei asked curiously.
"This ...... I'm a bard by profession and don't know anything about magic. ”
Cheng Dalei pouted, all ethnic groups have various priesthoods, such as Taoist priests, monks, and witches in the empire. Legend has it that a Taoist priest can bring the dead back to life, a monk can exorcise demons, and a witch can ask the gods to come up...... If you ask a random person, they must be more honest than Kane, as for whether it is true or not, it depends on the IQ level of each person.
"Okay, your people can live in Qinchuan Pass. Cheng Dalei said: "Where are your people now?"
"They are now in a valley because they are all Rong ......"
Cheng Dalei nodded, and also understood Kane's words, when the Rong clan encountered these people, they didn't directly arrest the men as slaves and the women as wives. These savages on the steppe are not in the mood to know what gods you believe in.
In fact, not only the Rong people, but also the empire is definitely not friendly to the Yi people. Of course, the empire is still very tolerant, but I can't stand the beauty of the women of the Yi tribe. Who doesn't want to have an orchid at home, who is delicate and charming, and has face when she takes it out.
I heard Kane tell me the specific location of the valley, and it is not far from the Qinchuan Pass. According to Kane, they are not in very good condition, crossing the boundless desert, dead and wounded, and now short of water and food.
Things can't be delayed, Cheng Dalei asked people to call Qin Man, bring some dry food and water, and follow Kane to pick up people. By the way, let Xu Shenji arrange a few courtyards, and wait for these people to come and live.
"This ...... Do you want to bring more people with you?" Kane said worriedly.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Dalei asked puzzledly, and sent dozens of people to go, as well as a few carriages, to pick up the inconvenient legs, these people were enough.
"In case we run into the Rong tribe on the road...... Are the Rong people so fierce?" Kane's words were worried.
Cheng Dalei glanced at him, his expression a little speechless.
"Okay, don't worry, as long as we are from Qinchuan Pass, no one will dare to rob them on the grassland. Xu Shenji said: "Now in the entire Qinchuan, who doesn't know the name of our toad king." ”
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Low-key, low-key, don't be so pompous." ”
For the people who are coming, Cheng Dalei is still looking forward to it. I don't know what fresh blood this group of people from the Norton Kingdom will bring to Toad Village.
What if there really is a magician...... If the magic is true, then the level of power in this world will have to be reestimated.
Cheng Dalei faintly looked forward to it, but estimated that it ...... Enough to choke.
It was getting late, Cheng Dalei turned into Fan Lihua's courtyard, and now she lives in the General's Mansion, which is quite close to Cheng Dalei.
Knocking on the door and entering, when he saw Fan Lihua, Cheng Dalei faintly had a headache. There was food on the table, she was motionless, holding the pipa, and Liu Zhi taught her to play it.
Seeing Cheng Dalei coming in, Liu Zhi bowed slightly and withdrew with interest.
Looking at the pipa in Fan Lihua's hand, Cheng Dalei really didn't know what to say.
