Chapter 46: Woma Sect

After learning enough information, He Ming and Li Yueqin politely bid farewell to the guards. Then they stood up and continued to move towards Biqi City. On the way, the two of them started talking about the news they found.

"Before I left Beach, there were indeed a lot of things that would reduce the population in the city, but not so many," He Ming said.

Li Yueqin said: "It sounds like nothing, but even if I don't know, I can feel that every piece of information you inquired makes me feel very abnormal."

He Ming said: "Indeed, I always feel that there is something wrong with it. But we don't know where the problem lies. Let's go to Beech City first, but I just don't know if my wanted order is still there."

Li Yueqin said: "You shouldn't be too easily recognized when you enter the city. Just be careful. I'll ask if there is any impact on the wanted order. Now there are so many things, who knows if they still remember them?"

"Okay, you have to be careful, too."

When they arrived at the city gate, they noticed that the guards at the door showed completely different attitudes from ordinary people. The people seemed to be peaceful and peaceful, as if they were truly peaceful and prosperous times, and the guards were all as if they were facing a great enemy, with a nervous expression.

He Ming, whose appearance changed drastically, was not recognized by anyone. They went straight into the city without any obstacles. Li Yueqin tried to ask several people of different identities, and concluded that she had no attention to all kinds of things half a year ago: there are many things in the city now.

When passing Teacher Liu's martial arts hall, the gate was closed tightly, and a sign of the closing was hung next to it. He Ming remembered that the two times the museum was closed here, and he had to give up.

Then, Li Yueqin said He Ming: "From their tone, no one cares if the wanted order is still there. The atmosphere in the whole city does feel something is wrong, but I can't feel the panic of the people who escaped to the Poisonous Snake Valley."

He Ming said: "It is best if there is no trouble. At least we don't affect our movements. If we ask other people about other situations, we will not get any results. It is best to ask Lord Wang for such abnormal situations."

Li Yueqin heard He Ming talk about this respectable Lord Wang. She nodded and followed He Ming quickly toward Lord Wang's mansion.

They were surprised to find that it was originally very lively around Lord Wang’s mansion, which was so deserted. When they walked over, they even found that people were deliberately avoiding this place, as if there was something terrible in Lord Wang’s mansion.

Fortunately, the gate of Lord Wang’s mansion is still open.

When the two walked to the door, He Ming did not see the servant guarding the door, so he had to knock on the door knocker with his hands a few times.

The sound of the door knocker hitting the wooden door broke the silence of the place, and soon Lord Wang walked out in person. He saw two strange faces standing outside the door, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then came forward.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Lord Wang became even more obvious. His wrinkles became much deeper, and he didn't look as energetic as before.

He Ming fell down his hat and stepped forward and whispered: "Mr. Wang! It's me, He Ming is back!"

Lord Wang's eyes, which had already dim, lit up suddenly, and then he quickly said, "Oh! It's you! Let's talk to you first, who is this girl?"

He Ming and Li Yueqin followed Wang Renren in and said to Wang:

"She is a Taoist priest from the Viper Valley, a descendant of the people who left Beach in the ancient Civil War. We heard that something happened to Beach this time, so we came over and saw what we could do."

Lord Wang said: "Tao Han came back and told me that you had sacrificed with them. I regretted letting you go at that time. It's great that you are still alive! Then he awarded a medal to your sacrifice, but Lord Yu refused to agree to your medal.

"He insisted that you were a criminal and that your medal was not collected by anyone, so it would be left unresolved. You are no longer within the wanted range, but you'd better avoid Lord Yu's people. His son's death has dealt a lot of a blow to him."

As he said that, he described some of the clothing characteristics of Lord Yu’s subordinates.

He Ming said: "But they have done so many things that deserve death, and they have left nothing to do?"

Lord Wang said: "They need to have evidence to deal with them. They did not leave any evidence. They were secretly investigated by the city lord. Yu Qin, who had caught the evidence, was not seen in person or dead. Alas. But now no one cares about those things anymore. I don't know if we can survive this time."

Didn’t they thank me for killing him without leaving any trace? He Ming said to himself, and then asked: “Is something happening? This time I came back and felt that the atmosphere was very wrong, but I don’t know where the problem is.”

Lord Wang sighed: "Oh! After you leave, the threats of half-orcs and zombies have been eliminated. The city lord is very interested and plans to build a large-scale construction to expand the Biqi City. According to the original plan, the materials accumulated over the years can also be started.

"But when we gathered people, we found that the population counted was much less than the original ones! In the end, the number of people calculated was a bit weak to maintain the operation of the entire Beech City, and the materials accumulated were useless at all!"

"The city lord initially thought that there were too many people going out to explore, so he decided to call them back first and then arrange them. However, the people sent to the city lord came back to report that those with a small population were pitiful. For this reason, the city lord was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the reason. Lord Yu's group wanted to put all the responsibility on you alone. Isn't this a fool who is a city lord?"

He Ming asked, "Then what's going on near your mansion? It's not right that quiet. I feel like they are still a little afraid of here."

Lord Wang snorted and said, "I don't know when someone has promoted some strange things in the city. It is said that the true God appears in the Woma Forest. If mortals want to be friendly and respected, they can be blessed.

"A few adults in the city believed it, but the city lord did not interfere because their teachings did not see any harm and would be beneficial to public security. When those people preached to me, I did not join them.

"Then there are rumors about me everywhere. In short, in their eyes, I am possessed by the devil, and talking to me may be entangled. Most people in the city are isolating me, and people living nearby have moved out of here."

Li Yueqin couldn't help asking: "The friendship and admiration they advocated are not a bad thing, why did they become like this?"

Lord Wang said:

"According to ancient books, there were similar situations in ancient times. In the early days, they were concerned about respecting God and loving and helping each other. They recited their scriptures every day, and then they became more and more strict. In the end, they were not allowed to keep anything, and everything was dedicated to the so-called God, but in fact they only fattened up the leaders of those organizations."

He Ming asked: "So who is their leader and where did they come from to investigate clearly?"

Lord Wang said: "The earliest saying was brought by people who went to the west of the city to explore, saying that they met the true god in the Woma Forest. The Woma Forest is the territory of half-orcs. I will never believe them until the truth is found out."

He Ming, who had been preached, knew that it must be Lord Yu's fault, but he told Lord Wang that he could not produce any evidence, so he said to Lord Wang:

"I know very well the true god of the orc. It is indeed extremely powerful and has brought unreasonable civilization to the orcs. However, the orcs cannot be used at all, and it is impossible to trust them!"

Lord Wang shook his head and said, "Who doesn't know? But there are more terrifying rumors recently. Some people suddenly mutated into demons, and after being killed, they all said that it was the end of not believing in the true god."

"In addition, yesterday the city lord sent someone to find me, wanting me to investigate whether these matters are in contact. According to their news, there is indeed a monster attacking us! But all my previous real power was undermined by Lord Yu and the others.

"The last time the mine happened, I have fewer confidants from now on. Now I can't do anything. He Ming, can you help me?"

He Ming said: "I have no choice but to do so from Lord Wang's entrustment! But, do you have a direction for investigation after you say this?"

Lord Wang first went to the cabinet and took out two tokens and handed them to them:

"This is my token. The guards outside the city will still recognize this brand. Although it doesn't have much effect in the city. I suspect that the specific situation is still necessary to explore the Woma Forest in the north of the city, but the city lord there has also sent people to strengthen the defense. Maybe they can help you.

"It's too late now, and I think it's not convenient for you to go to the city. It's hard for you to come here from afar, so let's talk about it after a night of rest."

"Okay, sir, please rest assured. We will do our best." He Ming said.

Lord Wang said with gratitude: "Thank you so hard, He Ming, I am thankful for the people who are still sober in the city. Come and arrange your residence for you first."

After arranging two rooms for them, He Ming came to Lord Wang's study room, just like the time he had passed, and Li Yueqin continued to read ancient books. Li Yueqin was also very surprised and interested in these records.

Until it was getting late, they were immersed in the ancient books of Lord Wang.

Suddenly, a man came to Lord Wang's study with a box of food and some supplies. He Ming looked back and found it was Tao Han, who was a little cautious.

He Ming hurriedly stood up and said hello: "Tao Han! I haven't seen you for a long time, I never thought I would see you here!"

Tao Han was also surprised: "He Ming? When will you come back? Do you know everything about it?"

He Ming asked: "Everyone knows, what's wrong with you? Come to Lord Wang, why do you feel cautious?"

Tao Han said: "Those Womar Godly people were too widely publicized and too fast, and my family believed them, and Lord Wang was isolated. I could only take care of him secretly when there were not many people at night, otherwise I would be isolated."

He Ming sighed. It took only how long did Lord Wang, who was loved by everyone and was pure and heavy, become like this? He worked sincerely and could not resist the words of those liars. He suddenly regretted not killing the missionary.

However, even if he was killed, some of the Lord Yu still had people to promote it. In any case, only by exploring the depths of the Woma Forest and finding out the truth can we have hope of solving these problems.
