Chapter 809 The Player's Adventure Road (Replenishment)(1/2)
Old John told his own story.
It was a happy family, how it was broken into pieces within a year, and he also fell from a farmer who could still solve the problem of food and clothing to a down-and-out free man who was struggling on the verge of survival.
After listening to his story, the elves' mood became heavier and their faces were filled with emotion.
Along the way, they have seen all kinds of beautiful scenery and various customs and customs, but at the same time, they have also seen the miserable lives of civilians in human countries.
Old John is just a microcosm of thousands of refugees, and there are many more encounters similar to him and even worse than him.
The darkness of the human world in "Elf Kingdom" is far more cruel than players imagine. Even though I have seen a lot in the previous Maple Leaf Corps, compared to the vast imperial territory, Maple Leaf Corps is still rich.
On the other hand, the life of the nobles is like heaven, full of money and luxury.
This made players sigh that even such a country can be maintained. It can only be said that the existence of extraordinary power has made all unreasonable things reasonable.
But at the same time, as we saw and heard along the way, a doubt gradually grew in the hearts of players.
"Did the Eternal Church ignore the lives of human civilians so difficult?"
After listening to Old John's story, Demacia asked in confusion.
He was really confused.
As an excellent pyramid scheme (crossed off) missionary leader under the goddess, he thought he still had some experience in this regard. Logically speaking, the more war-torn era, the better the opportunity to preach faith.
When a person is in the most dangerous time, a timely help, even if it is just a drop of water, will bring endless gratitude from the other party.
For the church, this is the best time to expand the believers.
Not to mention anything else, even if the Eternal Church sets up a porridge shed in the city, it will probably gain a group of devout believers among the refugees.
What they see now is that most churches ignore what happens in the territory.
Of course, strictly speaking, it is not really a matter of ignoring the situation. Demacia has seen many pastors helping the poor along the way.
However, as a missionary leader, in Demacia's opinion, they could do better, but they obviously did not work hard.
"Share it? If only they were in charge, the pastors now only have nobles."
Old John shook his head.
Demacia's brows frowned even deeper.
This is not normal, not like a normal church should be.
Even the pastor has fallen, and is in love with the nobles and is addicted to the rich life. Do the gods ignore it?
No matter what, we should punish or something?
After all, believers are the source of the power of the true God!
Players' priests will be punished by the game system and goddess when they make trouble. "The Elf Kingdom" pursues authenticity so much that they will not make low-level mistakes in such places, right?
"But the churches of the god of trade, the god of art, and the goddess of love and festivals are said to be much better, and often help the poor, but unfortunately, there is no church in Luc."
Old John said again.
The God of Trade, the God of Art, and the Goddess of Love and Festival are all followers of the Eternal Lord and have their own church.
Their church's sphere of influence is intertwined with the eternal church, both independent of the eternal church and like subordinates of the eternal church.
However, not all places have their churches, but only some big cities, as well as the eastern and southern parts of the empire, would be more.
It is worth mentioning that in the South, the Kingdom of Iris, these large and small churches from God are more important, and the Eternal Church's control and influence over the kingdom is not as good as the Holy Mannian Empire.
After listening to Old John's story, Demacia became increasingly confused about the practices of the Eternal Church, and finally couldn't help but complain on the chat channel of the team.
Seeing his complaints, Qian Qian, who was standing beside him, glanced at him and replied:
"Derma, do you know how many believers the Lord of Eternity has?"
"How many? Didn't you say hundreds of millions?"
Demacia typed.
"more than."
He gave a shaking expression.
"I once had a short-term mission with my elder sister head in Fengyue Free Leadership. When I just liberated and started preaching, I felt the depravity of the Eternal Church. I also asked my elder sister head for this question. Do you know how my elder sister head answered?"
"How did you answer?"
"The faith of the Eternal Lord has long been spread throughout the Segus Universe. There are no less than five hundred main material planes belonging to His, and even more. Among them, there are many large planes with an area of the Segus World, and this is not a variety of other semi-planes suitable for the lives of believers... Think about it, how many believers do all planes have in total?"
"Damn it?! Is this too exaggerated? What kind of monster is the goddess facing? Didn't the Lord of Eternity rise for thousands of years in the game background?"
"Dema, have you underestimated the reproductive ability of human beings? Not to mention that in the extraordinary world, no matter how difficult the bottom is, the overall resources are abundant. Overall, the population growth rate is much more exaggerated than that of Blue Star."
"Hiss... so, it's not that the true God allows the church to fall, but that the gods don't care at all?"
"Of course, think about it, what's the difference between ruling so many planes and having so many believers? "
The two players communicated with each other on the chat channel, and Demacia's expression changed several times.
As the leader of the missionary who is a great number of pyramid schemes (crossed off again) under the goddess, he never took the bad eternal church seriously, but now he suddenly realized that he was facing such a huge behemoth...
"By the way, my sister has another sentence."
Pay and type.
"What?"
Demacia was a little curious.
"The master of the Era is the master of the Era after all. Even if it is bad, he is also the master of the Era."
"Good guy, my sister can even say "slow"."
"Serandir has also learned to flirt with girls..."
The players were chatting all the time, and after talking about their own affairs, Old John also introduced the situation nearby to everyone.
Although the players have already inquired about it, they still listened carefully. After all, different people will bring more or less different news.
Of course, overall, it is still similar.
The players are now located in a small city with 50,000 people. Well... at least in human society, this city with a population of only a small city. If it is replaced by an underground world, it can be called a metropolis.
This small city is called Luke City, located in the northern border of the empire and belongs to the Rosen family, one of the seven electoral princes.
The Rosen family is the main branch of the Wells family to which Sophia belongs. The unlucky noble family whose army was completely destroyed by the evil god of Titan is also considered an old friend of the players in a sense.
Going further north, it is the Imperial military city of Fort Collins, which is close to the Arctic Icefield.
Of course, although Luc City is located in the northern part of the mainland, it is affected by the monsoon of the Elf Forest. It has distinct seasons and pleasant climate here. It is not as cold as you imagined. It is even hot in summer.
And Demacia and others came here just by a way. Their real purpose was to visit Dragon Island.
That was a mission issued by the church elder sister a few months ago, specifically to thank Dragon Island for its assistance in the war. In other words, several people were considered messengers of the Elf Forest.
Theoretically, starting from the northwest of the Elf Forest and then taking the dragon to Dragon Island should be the fastest.
But as the Seges World Map is open, there is still a while to visit Dragon Island, the players did not rush to go, but instead changed to another road, intending to cross the human empire, cross the Arctic Icefield, and then head to Dragon Island.
After all, I just want to go around and have a feel for the real adventure of "Elf Kingdom".
It is worth mentioning that Li Mu proposed this idea. He also specially opened a special topic on the Barrage Video Network for this action. It is said that the number of views exploded directly.
In this operation, it was not just the three of them who were moving forward together. Each of the seven guilds sent at least one person, a total of ten people, and everyone was acting together.
Almost all participants are the presidents of various guilds, even if they are not, they are also senior guild leaders, and their levels have been promoted to gold before they set out.
This is also their confidence in choosing this task.
After the golden rank, the speed of promotion of monsters is getting slower and slower. In contrast, when traveling on the mainland and solving problems that NPC cannot solve, there are often unexpected gains.
When the group had just entered the empire, they unexpectedly encountered a legendary monster slaughtering the city near a town in the western territory. However, the other party was seriously injured and had no ten strength left.
Ten gold players worked together to cooperate with a large mercenary group nearby to slaughter the monsters.
All ten people benefited from this, and their level soared a lot.
With the sweetness, everyone became more enthusiastic about such actions.
However, after coming to the new city, people often choose to move freely, and each guild will choose their own way to inquire about the news and finally meet up.
The natural heart of the three of them, thanks to Demacia, is most accustomed to finding out about the taverns in civilian areas.
By the way, everyone also rode a dragon, but now the dragon has been released to the suburbs by them, and they have also used hidden magic to hide their bodies.
There is no way, if so many giant dragons pop up at once, it would be too conspicuous.
Although... the ten people have almost become famous for slaughtering the legendary monsters before, I heard from friends who were taking risks in Fengyue Free Leader that some minstrels have sang their deeds.
What are the legends of the Elf Dragon Knight, the righteous and brave ranger, etc.
He also composed a song.
After everyone started their adventure, a new function was also released in the game system, or system evaluation - Legend.
This is an indicator rated based on the reputation of players on the mainland, representing the popularity of players.
Legend has two benefits. One is to increase the probability of players obtaining transfer positions and advanced places, and the other is to increase the probability of triggering hidden tasks.
To be continued...
