Since his identity was known by Gu Shengyin, Royd did not stop them anymore, and the group finally reached the Lotte Empire’s most prosperous and historically rich city—Saint Veit City—after half a month of traveling.
This city was nad after the first Emperor of the Lotte Empire.
Amid the curious glances of countless people, the first thing Gu Shengyin did upon entering the city was to close her eyes and carefully sense the faintly flowing aura in the air.
This city had almost entirely lost its faith.
She opened her eyes and asked the knight beside her, "Your Lotte Empire worships the God of War?"
That knight was nad Louis Wise Caperna, and anyone accompanying Duke Royd could certainly not be an insignificant character.
In fact, in terms of nobility, he was also an Earl.
Upon hearing Gu Shengyin’s question, Louis Wise nodded, "Yes, the guardian deity of our Lotte Empire is precisely the God of War. Yet..."
His gaze carried a trace of sadness; currently, there are very few people still holding onto their faith, and even the upper-class nobility, only a scant two or three families still worship the God of War at ho, not to ntion the ordinary populace.
He didn’t even know how long his family could persist.
The reason his family had always been steadfast in their faith was that the Caperna Family he belonged to had always been the family with the most Oracles appearing in the Lotte Empire.
In the distant glorious era, the honor of the Caperna Family was even more radiant than the imperial family.
But now?
It has been many years since the Oracles of the Caperna Family could no longer hear the God of War’s oracle.
They were filled with fear, whether the divinities had fallen or the divinities had abandoned the Lotte Empire, was sothing they could not accept.
Gu Shengyin expressed understanding for Caperna’s unfinished words.
In fact, after recognizing the weak remnants of faith in this city, she had already guessed the outco.
Although the God of War was a powerful deity, he was still unable to avoid falling into slumber after losing faith.
Currently, those divinities who still have so consciousness remaining are only the Goddess of Nature Karrus, the God of Light Oris, and the God of the Sky Uno.
Even among the Five Great Main Gods, both the God of Darkness and the Goddess of Earth have fallen into slumber.
The other two Main Gods’ activities are unknown, and Gu Shengyin could not trace their whereabouts.
She comforted Louis Wise with a word, "Although your faith differs, those who persist in their belief will eventually receive the favor of the divinities."
Louis gave her a grateful smile.
He had encountered countless people who did not understand the Caperna Family, and even he often faced ridicule for his faith in the God of War.
Louis Wise’s faith had never wavered due to these idle talks, yet when he heard Gu Shengyin’s encouragent, the light in his eyes indeed brightened for a mont.
He gazed fervently at Gu Shengyin, "Thank you for your blessing, Lord Bis. The Caperna Family will never forsake their belief."
He himself didn’t even realize how much fervent emotion was hidden in his gaze when he looked at this Oracle of the Goddess of Nature.
Royd noticed.
He instinctively furrowed his brow.
This Oracle of the Goddess of Nature, destined to walk a lonely path, and he did not wish his capable subordinate to have too much involvent with her.
