Chapter 9: The Valley of the Dead

The town outside the Valley of the Dead wasn't a random place he chose, but a part of his original plan.

The geographical location of Ken Wilson Village is too remote, and there are only ordinary beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests, which is not conducive to the leveling of believer players.

Because of the presence of other gods, there are many places in the main physical plane where churches or temples of other gods are built, and they are shrouded in divine power, and it is difficult to observe them with the eyes of God alone if there are no believers in the corresponding places.

Most of the locations that are not shrouded in divine power are quite poor, and it is difficult to be a novice village for making a fortune.

However, it took a certain amount of time for Sivi to find a few decent locations in the main material plane.

The Valley of the Dead is one of them.

As a world with the existence of gods, the 'gods and demons war' that sounds quite cliché has naturally happened, and the specific situation is not very clear because the god of the game has not yet been born at that time, so Xiwei is not very clear, but judging from the imprint of the laws of the world left by the godhead, it seems that countless planes in the entire world have been involved in the war, and the fight is quite tragic.

It was precisely because of that war that almost restarted the entire world, so in the end, the Three Saints of Creation completely isolated the divine plane from other planes, and forbade the gods to go to other planes.

As a link between the east and west continents, the Valley of the Dead, which is hundreds of kilometers long, is one of the locations of the original divine war, where the Lord of the Dead killed the ancient god of death and seized the authority of death and the underworld from the other party.

At the same time as the Death Old God fell, it released a large amount of death qi, killing almost half of the living beings in the main material plane.

Even after thousands of years, the gray fog formed by the dead still shrouded the sky above the Valley of the Dead, turning the Valley of the Dead into a forbidden place for the living, and completely cutting off the communication between the two continents of the East and the West.

Sivi didn't intend for his followers to challenge the wreckage of the old gods so early, but due to the corpses of the dead gods and the existence of a strong dead qi, the space inside the Valley of the Dead seemed to be distorted to some extent, causing millions of undead creatures to appear in the valley, and even the edge of the undead qi was hovering with many undead monsters.

The number of these undead creatures continues to grow, and their natural aversion to the living often leads them to leave the Valley of the Dead in droves, attacking the surrounding human villages and towns.

For this reason, every year the empire has to spend a lot of money to organize an army to destroy the undead. It's not that the empire doesn't want to directly solve the source of the problem, but it's a pity that the current mainstream gods can't interfere with the power of death, and there is no way to face the gray mist of death.

Even if he used his divine power to create talismans for his followers, he could only protect one or two people from dying in the mist, which was really not enough to see in the face of the undead monsters in the valley of the dead.

The Dead Lord is also an autistic person, and his personality is rare among the gods, and he never communicates with other gods, so he naturally doesn't bother to care about this situation.

In the end, the Valley of the Dead can only continue to exist on the earth in its present form, and some of the more optimistic priests of the Chongbai Church believe that in about another three or four thousand years, the gray fog of the Valley of the Dead will dissipate......

However, for other gods, this place of 'eating poison and abandoning it' is a very ideal location for Xiwei: you can farm monsters infinitely, almost inexhaustible resources, and you don't have to worry about killing too much to affect the ecological balance, and the undead here range from skeletons and zombies to the headless horsemen and even bone dragons inside, which can be said to be a complete and gradually stronger monster chain, and you don't have to worry about the way for players to level up in the future!

Other than that, although it is a bit of a stroke of luck, the Valley of the Dead is after all a battlefield where the gods and demons once fought each other, and there may be something good in it (such as artifacts or broken godheads?). exists.

Taking a step back, even if there are no other valuable things in it, at least there is a wreckage of an ancient god, as long as he can get that sample as his own reference and learning through the hands of believer players, Xiwei feels that his godhead can definitely be raised to a higher level!

"But before that, you have to prepare a little bit." Sivi muttered to himself, "If those little guys come all the way here, only to face the lord's sword, then I really won't have the face to see them." ”

Angela Fatt is the third son of the Duke of Silver Eagle, Ponlein Fat, as the son of the family, he is naturally denied the position of duke of his father, but even so, the old duke cannot let his youngest son, who has the blood of his nobility flowing in his veins, become a pariah.

It's just that Angela is not good at martial arts, and there is no way to be a knight to fight for his glory on the battlefield.

Although he believed in the god of war Critos with the old duke, Angra, who couldn't use his fighting spirit no matter how hard he tried, was only a shallow believer, and he couldn't go to the Temple of Splendor to serve the gods as a priest.

When Angela was about to become an adult, he was pressed to the ground and beaten up without any power to fight back by his second brother, who had been at odds with him and had no strength to fight back, and he completely lost his faith in Criteos and became an unbeliever without anyone knowing.

Fortunately, the old duke treated his heir quite well, and after understanding that Angela had no other talents, he paid a small price to obtain a baron for Angela and obtained a fief for him on the edge of the empire.

Even if it was a town outside the Valley of the Dead, known as the 'Purple Gate', it could at least be considered a nobleman, and in the old duke's own words, it was better to be a nobleman in a 'some' dangerous place than to be a pariah.

Sitting in a bumpy carriage, Angela felt that her future was bleak.

It is said that every year in the Valley of the Dead, undead creatures will come to attack the surrounding villages and towns. Although I am a lord, to be honest, in that environment, I am afraid that I am not much safer than the civilians around me.

Just when Angela was feeling confused about his future, the old coachman outside the carriage suddenly exclaimed, "Bandit! There are bandits here! Little master, hurry up...... Ah——!h ”

The voice of the faithful old coachman died down with a scream, and Angela shuddered, not knowing that he was going to die halfway before he reached the territory.

God, if you really exist, please give me even a little hope......

In desperation, he begged in his heart.

At this very moment-
