The capital of Bull Principality, Huian City is bustling with people.
The Blind Brotherhood is located in the high castle on the outskirts of the city, and is still in a highly closed state as usual.
No strangers are allowed in without an invitation.
Since its establishment, the Blind Brotherhood has been committed to maintaining the security of Ashan and fighting against the forces of chaos that are eroding the continent.
Because they inherited some of the manuscripts handed down by the Seventh Dragon, Thaalan, before he became a god, some devout psychics were able to master the power of divine enlightenment and predicting the future.
Historically, the prophets of the Blind Brotherhood have successfully predicted the time of demonic invasion many times, making outstanding contributions to the continuation of the ordered race.
However, since the reforms initiated by the Grand Prophet Sandro, the current Blind Brotherhood is no longer the same.
First, there is secularization.
The Blind Brotherhood originally only recruited psychics, and made a series of private life regulations for members, requiring members to prohibit marriage and childbirth, and to devote their whole body and soul to the cultivation of psychic powers in order to make more accurate decisions. prophecy.

After Sandro became the Great Prophet, he no longer only recruited people with psychic powers, and the restrictions on the personal lives of members were lifted. As long as it does not affect their practice, they can do whatever they want in their private lives.
Secondly, the Great Prophet Sandro used the excuse that the Broken Star War broke out and the Blind Brotherhood needed to have defense capabilities to absorb refugees and build up religious orders on a large scale. Since then, the Blind Brotherhood has changed from a purely academic organization to a highly... Militarized armed groups.
In the process of militarization of the Blind Brotherhood, it is inseparable from the strong support of Archduke Dolores of the Bull.
Although the Blind Brotherhood has a very weak presence in the Principality of Falcon and the Principality of Wolf, under the chaotic situation, what is not very clear to the outside world is that the Blind Brotherhood already has extremely high public recognition and high penetration in the Principality of Bull. and controlled the religious life of the local people.
Since then, more and more civilians have begun to support the organization and actively participate in the sect's armed forces, resulting in the emergence of a huge military-religious organization in the Bull Principality, second only to the forces of lords at all levels.
Sandro's transformation of the Brotherhood of the Blind does not end there.
He made a sensational prediction.
"The gods are in trouble in the spiritual world and will die in the near future!"
Because this prophecy is so terrifying, it has been secretly spread only among the top leaders of the cult, and ordinary members and the outside world have no way of knowing about it.
However, no one dared to question such an exaggerated prediction.
Because Sandro is the most powerful spiritual prophet in the history of Ashan. If the predictions he makes are inconsistent with others, then he must be closer to the truth.
While the higher-ups of the sect are frightened by the content of the prophecy, they are also accelerating Sandro's reforms.
If Asha and the Gods of Order under her command are going to die, then what else will the humans on the earth have to believe in and rely on?
The answer given by Sandro is that the gods are dying and mortals can only rely on their own strength. Therefore, they must speed up the establishment of religious orders and seek a meager life in a godless world.
As a result, this prophet organization that had always firmly followed the teachings of the Seven Dragons Sect, under the guidance of Sandro, was fundamentally shaken in its belief in Asha.
On the wall of the High Castle of the Blind Brotherhood, a famous figure wears a gray shirt.
The warriors of the order, armed with light crossbows and long swords, guarded the post to prevent anyone from approaching without permission.
In the ancient high castle, the Prophets of the Blind Brotherhood and the middle-level gray priests lead the sect organizations and sect armed forces throughout the Bull Principality.
In the center of the high castle, in a secret room where no one can pry, Sandro the Great Prophet can command the overall situation without leaving an inch.
...
In the dim room, Sandro's skeletal body was already faintly emitting a metallic luster like mithril.
Tempered by the secret art of the undead, Sandro's new body became increasingly powerful, and was soon able to support him in casting mid-to-high-level undead spells and move freely in the outside world.
But the skeleton lowered its head and suddenly let out a sigh.
"Without the disguise mask, it's still inconvenient to show off to others with this face."
Sandro was troubled by his inability to appear to the outside world as Sandro's great prophet.
Now, only Archduke Dolores and a few loyal servants in the Blind Brotherhood know his skeletal face.
The camouflage mask is an artifact of the Faceless clan. If the user has strong magic power of level seven or above, he can disguise himself as another person with a completely different image and aura.
Sandro once used this mask to travel to every corner of the continent, advancing his conspiracy year after year.
However, after the battle at the Well of Souls, Sandro, who was resurrected from the dead, suffered a huge setback, forcing him to lie dormant for a period of time.
But now, Sandro's time to return to the mainland is getting closer.
Even if he cannot show up as the Great Prophet Sandro, he can still convey the prophet's prophecies to the outside world through Dolores, and command the sect's armed forces in the Principality of the Bull through his loyal servants.
Moreover, as long as his body is stronger, he will have enough strength and confidence to leave the Blind Brotherhood headquarters and travel alone to the mainland to continue advancing his plan.
The soul fire in Sandro's eyes burned quietly.
During the days of tempering his body in the secret room, he often thought of the long past.
Sandro was born in the Principality of Bull. He no longer remembers the appearance of his parents. He only remembers that he was born in an ordinary family and the strange dreams that accompanied him throughout his childhood.
In the dream, he seemed to have more than one body and one soul. In popular terms, he seemed to perceive his "past life", and some broken memory fragments would return to his mind in the form of vague dreams.
Later, when he transformed into a necromancer and learned more and more about the nature of the world during his long life, he had new speculations.
Those broken dreams may be another him in the multidimensional universe.
The place seems to be full of death, conspiracy and betrayal. These broken dreams and hallucinations indirectly affect Sandro's personality and soul, but they never shake his desire for the truth of the world.
Finally, after hundreds of years of continuous exploration, the mechanical race descended from the sky, destroying countless Ashan cities and creatures, and at the same time brought knowledge about the extraterrestrial universe.
Sandru eagerly explored and absorbed this knowledge, and eventually joined the Shattered Star camp.
As a reward, he received a black bean from the mechanical messenger.
The wriggling black bean is called the "Ascension Seed". The Mechanical Holy Messenger told him that as long as he eats this seed, he can know the ultimate truth about the universe!
Sandro could tell at a glance that it was not a seed, but an extraterrestrial alien creature. If taken directly, it would be extremely dangerous.
However, his desire for truth overcame his fear, and Sandro swallowed the Seed of Ascension without hesitation.
Since then, wriggling tentacles have grown from the gaps in the bones, extending from eye sockets and jaws.
Sandro gained super strength as he wished, but he also lost himself.
If those weird dreams hadn't tempered Sandro's soul, I'm afraid his consciousness would have been swallowed up the moment the Star Clan parasite matured.
However, even if Sandro maintains the autonomy and integrity of his soul, he will inevitably be affected by the erosion of the Star Clan.
Since then, he has been a loyal servant of the Starbreaker.
