Old John told his story.
It is the story of how a happy family fell apart within a year, and he also fell from a farmer who could still provide food and clothing to a down-and-out free man struggling on the edge of survival.
After listening to his story, the elves felt heavy and expressed emotion.
Along the way, they have seen all kinds of beautiful scenery and various customs, but at the same time, they have also seen the miserable lives of civilians in the human kingdom.
Old John is just a microcosm of thousands of refugees. There are many others who have suffered similar or even worse experiences than him.
The darkness of the human world in "Elf Kingdom" is far more cruel than players imagined. Even though they have seen a lot in the former Maple Leaf Territory, compared to the vast empire territory, the Maple Leaf Territory is still relatively wealthy.
On the other hand, the life of the nobles is like a paradise, full of luxury and luxury.
This makes players have to lament that such a country can still be maintained. It can only be said that the existence of extraordinary power makes all unreasonable things reasonable.
But at the same time, as they saw and heard along the way, a doubt gradually grew in the player's mind.
"The lives of human beings are so difficult, does the Eternal Church not care at all?"
After listening to Old John’s story, Demacia asked doubtfully.
He was really confused.
As an outstanding MLM (crossed out) missionary leader under the goddess, he thinks he has some experience in this regard. Logically speaking, the more war-torn the era, the better the opportunity to preach the faith.
When a person is in the most critical moment, providing help in times of need, even if it is just a drop of kindness, will earn the other person infinite gratitude.
For churches, this is the perfect time to expand their following.
If nothing 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 is happening in their territory.
Of course, strictly speaking, it doesn't mean that they don't care. Along the way, Demacia has seen many priests helping the poor.
It's just that, as a missionary leader, it seems to Demacia that they can do better, but they obviously haven't tried hard enough to do so.
"Control? It would be great if they took care of it. The pastors only have nobility in their eyes now."
Old John shook his head.
Demacia's frown deepened.
This is not normal, not what a normal church should be like.
Even priests have fallen, colluded with nobles, and indulged in a life of extravagance and extravagance. Do the gods not care?
No matter what, there should be punishment or something, right?
After all, believers are the source of power of the true God!
The player priest will be punished by the game system and the goddess if he messes up. "Elf Kingdom" pursues authenticity so much that it won't make a stupid mistake in a place like this, right?
"However, 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 provide relief to the poor, but unfortunately, there are no churches for them in Luc City."
Old John said again.
The God of Trade, the God of Art, and the Goddess of Love and Festivals are all subordinate gods of the Eternal Lord and have their own churches.
Their church's sphere of influence is intertwined with the Eternal Church. They are both independent of the Eternal Church and like a subordinate of the Eternal Church.
However, their churches are not found everywhere, but only in some large cities and in the east and south of the empire.
It is worth mentioning that in the southern Kingdom of Aires, there are more large and small churches of God. The control and influence of the Eternal Church over the kingdom is not as good as that of the Holy Maniea Empire.
After listening to Old John's story, Demacia became increasingly confused about the Eternal Church's practices, and finally couldn't help but complain in the team's chat channel.
Seeing his complaint, Yuan Yuan glanced at him and replied:
"Dema, do you know how many believers there are in the Lord of Eternity?"
"How much? Didn't you say hundreds of millions?"
Demacia typed.
"More than that."
Juan Juan made a shaking head expression.
"I once did a short-term mission with my eldest sister in the Maple Moon Free Territory. It was just after the liberation there and when I started to preach. At that time, I felt the corruption of the Eternal Church, and I specifically asked my eldest sister for advice. Do you know how the eldest sister answered this question?"
"How did you answer?"
“The belief in the Lord of Eternity has long spread throughout the entire Saigas universe. There are no fewer than five hundred main material planes belonging to Him alone, or even more. Among them, there are many large planes that are as large as the Saigas world. , and this does not include other demi-planes that are suitable for believers to live... Think about it, how many believers are there in all the planes combined?"
"Holy shit?! Isn't this too exaggerated? What kind of monster is the goddess facing? In the background of the game, hasn't the Lord of Eternity only risen for a thousand years?"
"Dema, have you underestimated the reproductive capacity of human beings? Not to mention that in the extraordinary world, no matter how poor the bottom class is, the overall resources are abundant. Overall, the population growth rate is exaggerated than that of Blue Star. Much more."
"Hey... So it's not that the true God allowed the church to fall, but that the gods don't care at all?"
"Of course, if you think about it, ruling so many planes and having so many believers, what's the difference if there are more or less?"
The two players were communicating with each other in the chat channel, and Demacia's expression changed several times.
As one of the top MLM (crossed out again) missionary leaders under the Goddess, he had never paid attention to the crotchless Eternal Church, but now he suddenly realized that he was facing such a huge behemoth... …
"By the way, I have one more thing to say, eldest sister."
Juanjuan typed again.
"What?"
Demacia is a little curious.
"The Lord of the Era is the Lord of the Era after all. Even if he stretches his hips, he is still the Lord of the Era."
"Good guy, the eldest sister can even say "pull the crotch"."
"Thrandil also learned how to flirt with girls..."
The players chatted one after another, and after talking about their own affairs, Old John also introduced the situation nearby to everyone.
Although the players have already asked about it, they still listened carefully. After all, different people will bring more or less different news.
Of course, the overall situation is still similar.
The location where the players are now is a small city of 50,000 people. Well... at least in human society, a city with this number of people can barely be considered a small city. In the underground world, it is enough to be called a metropolis.
This small city is called Luc City. It is located on the northern border of the empire and belongs to the Rosen family, one of the seven princes.
The Rosen family is the main branch of the Wells family to which Sophia belongs. The unlucky aristocratic family whose army was completely wiped out by the Titan Evil God can be regarded as an old friend of the players in a sense.
Further north, there is Fort Collins, the empire's military center close to the Arctic Icefield.
Of course, although Luc City is located in the northern part of the continent, due to the influence of the monsoons of the Elf Forest, the four seasons here are distinct and the climate is pleasant. It is not as cold as imagined, and it is even hotter in the summer.
And Demacia and others came here just as a way. Their real purpose was to visit Dragon Island.
That was a mission issued by the eldest sister of the church a few months ago. Specifically, it was to thank Long Island for its assistance in the war. In other words, these people were considered envoys of the Elf Forest.
Theoretically speaking, it should be the fastest to start from the northwest of the Elf Forest and then take the dragon to Dragon Island.
However, as the Segas world map was opened, and there was still a while before the visit to Dragon Island, the players were not in a hurry to go, but took another route, intending to cross the human empire and cross the arctic ice field. , and then go to Dragon Island.
In the final analysis, I just want to wander around and experience the real adventure life of "Elf Kingdom".
It is worth mentioning that it was Li Mu who proposed this idea. Based on this operation, he specially opened a topic on mainland travel on Danmaku.com, and it is said that the number of views exploded.
In this operation, it was not just the three of them who went together. Each of the seven major guilds sent at least one person, a total of ten people, and they all acted together.
The participants are almost all the presidents of various guilds, and even if they are not, they are also high-level leaders of the guild, and their levels have all been promoted to gold before departure.
This is also the reason why they chose this task.
After the gold level, the speed of advancing through mobs becomes slower and slower. In contrast, traveling around the continent and solving problems that NPCs cannot solve often yields unexpected rewards.
When a group of people had just entered the empire, they unexpectedly encountered a legendary monster massacre near a town in the western territory. However, the opponent had been seriously injured and was not strong enough.
The ten gold players worked together and cooperated with a large mercenary group nearby to kill the World of Warcraft.
All ten people benefited from this, and their levels soared a lot.
With the sweetness, everyone became more enthusiastic about such actions.
However, after arriving in a new city, everyone often chooses to move freely, and each guild will choose its own way to find out the news, and finally meet up.
As for the Heart of Nature where the three of them were, thanks to Demacia, they were most used to looking for taverns in civilian areas.
By the way, everyone came here riding a dragon, but now the dragon has been released to the countryside by them, and they have also used stealth magic to hide their figure.
No way, if so many dragons appeared all at once, they would be too conspicuous.
Although... the ten people who slaughtered the legendary monsters before were almost famous, Yuanjuan heard from friends who were adventuring in the Maple Moon Free Territory that there were already bards singing about their deeds.
What is the legend of the Elf Dragon Knight, a righteous and brave ranger?
Also composed the music.
After everyone started the adventure, a new function was also introduced in the game system, or system evaluation - legend.
This is an indicator based on the reputation of players on the mainland, representing the popularity of players.
Legendary has two benefits. One is to increase the player's probability of obtaining job transfer quota and advanced quota, and the other is to increase the probability of triggering hidden tasks and advanced rewards.
Only if you do something just, your reputation will increase. If you do something unjust, not only will your reputation not increase, but your reputation will be deducted, and you will even become the target of pursuit by the Life Church.
If it is more serious, the red name mechanism will be triggered, or even the account will be banned directly.
And if you do something big and sensational, your legend will skyrocket.
For example, ten people eradicated the legendary monster that massacred the city, and suddenly became famous in the west, and everyone's legend level increased a lot.
However, the legend is not static. If you do nothing, the legend will slowly decrease.
Only by constantly doing some just causes and becoming famous in the mainland can we maintain a high level.
It is worth mentioning that the player with the highest legend among all players in the server is Cyber. The player who saved the Frost Elves was already a big boss when the legend was first launched.
After the legend went online, the image and reputation of the elf, whose image and reputation gradually declined due to wars and various detours in dealing with various forces, began to change again.
With the opening of the large map, not only has there been no large-scale killing of elves, but there has also been a gradual improvement and improvement trend.
However, the revamped reputation of the elves is different from the kind and innocent impression in the past.
This time... the world's impressions of the elves focus on "justice", "kindness", "mercy", "chivalry", "bravery", "power", "hate evil as much as hatred", "eliminate evil and promote good" etc.
Just like the knight in the story.
Coupled with the noble and beautiful appearance of elves, some novels and dramas describing the adventures of elves began to become popular in some areas. It is said that they are deeply loved by teenagers and girls.
Faintly, an elf craze seems to be spreading across the mainland.
Of course, these things are just signs now, and only some careful players have discovered them.
As for whether there are players behind this as the driving force... well, I can only say that everyone understands.
Back to the present.
It has been two months since Li Mu and others ventured all the way to Luc City.
After leaving here, they will cross the Arctic Icefield, cross the Northwest Sea, and head to Dragon Island.
Of course, now they have to go to the mine to take a look.
Golden dragons are very rare. There are more than 500 giant dragons contracted with players in the entire Elf Forest, but the total number of golden dragons is less than ten.
The three players sat on the seats in the small town square, listening to Old John telling about the mine. After a while, new elves appeared in their field of vision one after another.
"Brother Meow! Sister Feng! Here, here!"
Demacia waved excitedly to the elves in the distance.
Old John looked over curiously and saw two female elves, a mage and a druid.
The robes they wore were even more gorgeous and beautiful than those of Li Mu and others.
