In the piercing blizzard,
high atop the mountains, a pale green leaf fluttered through the cold wind, drifting downward as if destined for someone.
At this moment, there was no one beneath the sacrificial mountain, whether they were people of Logos or the enslaved Three-eyed Ape People; all had gone to the kingdom's square, where the son of a prostitute was to be stoned.
The night was dim, and a misty drizzle fell.
Basel was escorted by prison guards, guards from Logos who were like hunters, and Basel was their trophy. They paraded him around the square, letting everyone present gaze upon the condemned.
The Poet walked along, surveying the Logos people.
"Let him die!"
"He has betrayed the Sons of God!"
"Blasphemer! Behold, we shall execute this sacrilegious monster!"
As soon as the Poet arrived at the square, the people of Logos erupted in a clamor, Prince Rui Ying leading them in extolling the benefits of enslaving the Three-eyed Ape People and condemning Basel's sacrilege.
