Chapter 178 Wake up
"you're awake."

A voice sounded beside Lania. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she tried her best to open them a little.

At least judging from the ceiling, this is not the mansion arranged by the goblin city-state for the members of the delegation.

Lanya wanted to look around to confirm the surrounding environment and her own situation, but no matter how hard she tried, her neck seemed to be welded shut and did not move at all.

"Don't bother yourself. Get some rest. It will probably take three or four days for you to regain some mobility."

The voice beside her sounded again. Lanya relaxed her body and stopped trying to observe her surroundings. After all, it seemed that something was wrong with her body. Instead of wasting her energy in vain, she might as well use other methods to see if she could understand her situation.

"Have a good sleep, and when you wake up next time, you should be out of danger."

Waves of sudden sleepiness came over her, but Lanya still tried to stay awake.

"Ugh……"

A sigh was heard from the side, and then a hand broke into Lanya's narrow field of vision. In that hand was a holy emblem of the Church of the God of Life.

The holy emblem was clean and tidy, and it was still flickering with a faint divine light. As the holy emblem approached, Lannia felt that the pain in her body seemed to be relieved a little, but the sleepiness became even stronger.

After seeing the holy emblem, Lannia finally relaxed completely.

The person in front of him is a priest of the God of Life, a kind god. Their priests value life, and their specialty is their healing-related magic.

"I am injured. When did it happen?"

The fact that a priest of the God of Life was accompanying her bedside meant that she was seriously injured, but Lannia couldn't remember what had caused her serious injury for the moment.

Her mind is still in a mess now.

"Go to sleep."

The warm light from the holy emblem in front of her, and the divine power emanating from it, showed that this was a priest-level clergyman. Where the warm light shone, Lannia felt that her body seemed to be better. She seemed to have the strength to speak and ask the clergyman some questions.

Then, a soft snoring sound was heard in the cabin.

The priest of the God of Life breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the believers of the God of Life were more sensitive to the breath of these wounded and sick people, and they discovered that Lanya had woken up at the first time.

"It's too early to wake up now."

Lannia's current physical condition cannot support her to maintain consciousness for a long time. Waking up too early will only make her condition worse. Moreover, in her current condition, even if she wakes up, she cannot have any real interaction with the outside world.

She couldn't even open her eyes completely. There was no benefit except wasting her body there.

The priest of the God of Life thought for a while, and finally pressed a button in the room, which was connected to a bell outside the room. Soon, the door of the room was knocked, and a guard appeared outside the door.

"Go inform the Lannia delegation that their king has woken up for the first time today."

The guard bowed his head slightly and left the room.

The priest in the room turned his attention back to Lanya on the bed. A milky white light lit up on Lanya's body. The priest was using divine magic to check Lanya's body again.

"All vital signs are stable. Apart from waking up suddenly and causing the brain to be overloaded, there are no problems."

The priest finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the chair prepared for him. It was already dark outside, and there was still a long time before dawn. Most of the city-state officials and Lannia's envoys should still be asleep.

But after a long time, someone would wake them up from their sleep.

The city-state and the delegation had already had several rounds of consultations and finally reached an agreement to keep secret what happened that day on the flagship where Lannia was unconscious.

After all, this involved a suicide attack on the king of a country by followers of the Sun God Cult, and the method of attack was divine magic. Once this news was announced, one can imagine how much turmoil it would cause in the kingdom.

Many places in the kingdom are now too deeply integrated with the Sun God Cult. This news will tear apart the kingdom, which has only been stable for a short time.

Over the years, the Sun God Cult has had many believers in the kingdom, and many of them put their identity as believers before their identity as citizens of the kingdom.

There is no doubt that even if the church was not involved in this attack, those believers would still try to defend the Sun God Cult and rationalize the behavior of those believers, especially the method used in the attack was theocracy, which means that those believers were still protected by the Sun God when the attack was carried out.

"Attacking the king is an act sanctioned by the gods."

They will certainly explain it this way in the end and try to prove that the king who is not recognized by the gods is an evil being.

The nobles and commoners who were loyal to Lannia would certainly not tolerate the behavior of these believers. Conflicts would arise, and neither side would have room to back down. One side was fighting for their beliefs, and the other side was fighting for the legal basis for their rule. It was foreseeable that without Lannia as the king, no one could truly unify the power of the entire kingdom, and the conflict between the two sides would easily expand and then get out of control.

Neither the goblins who still wanted to continue doing business in the kingdom nor the members of the delegation wanted to see things develop to this point.

But now, the voices in the kingdom calling for an investigation into the attack are getting louder and louder. More and more people are beginning to believe that the goblins were the leaders of this attack, especially among the grassroots Sun God believers who hate foreigners. This view is widely circulated. They spare no effort to spread this view. They even made up a logical chain for this, from why the goblins planned the attack to why they covered up the news after the attack. The details are complete and the logic is clear. The goblin attack theory has become the mainstream view of the outside world on this attack.

This view has begun to affect the goblins' business activities in other places. One of the foundations of business is credit, and assassinating an ally king who is in the process of negotiations has raised a huge question mark about the goblins' credit in the eyes of other kingdoms.

The goblins now urgently need Lannia to wake up. Only by issuing a joint announcement with her about the attack can the goblins recover the loss of their reputation. And only when Lannia wakes up can they unite all parties in the kingdom and stabilize the situation.

The priest leaned back in his chair, maintaining awareness of Lania's physical condition while waiting.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door as he expected.
