The underground world is always so dark and dark, only the fluorescent stone at the top of the cave brings a little light to the world.

Deep Cave, Black Rock City.

Ever since a group of strange elves arrived, the place has become more and more prosperous.

In the city, a tall elf has become a striking sight.

In fact, you can't even pay attention to it.

The elves have always been tall, whether male or female, the lowest height will not be less than 1.7 meters, and all of them are outstanding in appearance, while the tallest among the dark dwarves is no more than 1.5 meters, and the average height is only 1.3 meters.

Black Rock City, which is suitable for dwarves, actually looks a little smaller and more delicate overall, and the elves walking in the city make one side taller and the other shorter, and the contrast is more and more obvious......

The dwarves have come to accept the elves who visit Black Rock City on a daily basis.

For ordinary dark dwarves, these elves are much better than other mercenaries in the underworld, and when they enter the city, they unload their weapons and do not gather crowds to make trouble, but on the contrary, they are very polite to the dwarves...... This is something that many mercenaries can't do, but the elves do it naturally, without dragging their feet.

And if you happen to be a dwarven forger, you will find that they become more polite, and will even woo you, worship you, and take the initiative to do all kinds of things for you...... Just for you to click on the forging process skills.

The dwarves' forge house has long been surrounded by elves, and these elves' admiration and enthusiasm for dwarven forging techniques make the dwarves feel flattered and complacent.

Of course, what makes the dwarves even happier is the goods brought by the elves.

Tough spider silk, plain wheat, fast-growing rice, sweet potato...... and all kinds of fruits that dwarves have never seen before, but they taste very good.

These are either underground products that the dwarves can't get, or special products from the overworld that are brought into Black Rock City by the elves in bags, trading ores, magical materials, rare metals and even some forging knowledge with the dwarves, causing countless dark dwarves to go crazy.

When Zero came to Black Rock City, he saw such a lively scene......

Zero, or ...... The incarnation of Eve.

That's right, Zero is the true god incarnation that Eve built with the Soul Reservoir Orb as the core!

It's just that when she changes her appearance, she retains the characteristics of the elves.

This time, Eve decided to directly dispatch the incarnation, and even labeled the identity of the incarnation as a god, which also had some considerations......

In contact with other believers of the true gods, this task is impossible for Eve to safely let players do, and Eve's followers are not suitable to do.

The most suitable thing to do, think about it, or open a small vest by yourself is the safest.

And branding her vest with the label of a god is also Eve's order to better lead the player.

While the guidance of the system quests and the guidance of NPCs is good, there are times when Eve does need to take matters into her own hands to control the player's actions more accurately, or to have the all-important initial communication with other forces of the gods.

It's just that ending up as a true god is too cheap, and a vest is a good choice at this time.

The true god is still the true god who is high up and full of force.

It's just that there is one more fanatical god under his command who has issued a mission.

Of course, the vest that Eve set up for herself is also the third purple NPC in addition to the Holy Maiden Alice and Queen Rose!

When Eve entered Black Rock City with Zero's vest, it didn't attract the attention of the other players and dwarves.

Dressed in a black skirt and armor with a delicately sharp sword behind her back, she swaggered down the streets, admiring the customs of Black Rock City.

And everyone, as if they didn't see her, was still doing their own thing.

Even the pedestrians on the road unconsciously made way for her, but they didn't realize why they wanted to get out of the way, and for whom they made way......

And Eve just walked directly and swaggeringly all the way to the Dark Temple in the center of Black Rock City.

This Dark Temple is a landmark building in the entire Black Rock City.

The architectural style of the entire temple is completely different from that of the dwarven Black Rock City, and it is dignified and atmospheric. The main body of the building is made of stone bricks, carved with exquisite patterns and reliefs, and the tone is black, with a touch of solemnity and solemnity......

In front of the temple, there is a small fountain, and in the center is a statue of the goddess dressed in black robes, holding a jewel and a sickle.

This is probably the idol of Hela.

Eve said to herself.

She looked at the statue's pedestal, and sure enough, she saw two lines of dwarven and lingua franca—death is the end and the beginning.

This is one of the most famous and widely circulated words of the Church of the Reaper......

If you put it in Eve's Cult of Deity, it's a bit like "May nature be with you", or "The goddess of life bless you" or something like that.

Eve looked at the statue for a moment before looking away and looking up at the temple that belonged to Hela, the god of death.

In her sight, there was something different about this majestic temple.

She could "see" that the temple was like a huge light source in the darkness, and it seemed to radiate a huge network, enveloping the entire Black Rock City, and all around it, there were flickering photons converging towards the temple all the time......

This is the energy of faith.

As a true god who has opened up the kingdom of God, Eve is able to see the energy of faith and the network of faith that the world cannot see.

This temple is the center of faith in Black Rock City.

The Faith Center weaves a vast network of beliefs, absorbing the power of faith from the Dark Dwarves, storing it in the temple, and at the same time feeding back to Hela in the far underworld through the temple and transforming it into his divine power.

If Eve's guess is correct, there should also be a statue in the temple dedicated to storing the energy of faith, which is the heart of the center.

In fact...... When Eve collects faith energy, it is also such a routine.

The statues of the gods that Alice built for her serve as the function of collecting beliefs, and they are also the core and nodes of the faith network.

In addition to collecting faith, these idols as nodes of the faith network can also form a true god's protection zone that radiates an area, that is, the sphere of influence of the true god.

In the sphere of influence of the true God, the communication between believers and the gods, and the prayer and meditation of the fauns, priests, or priests, will be more efficient.

In addition, the true god can also use his divine power to directly turn this area into his own control through the god statue!

Although it is not a divine domain, it can also allow the true god to know the area well, or perform divine descent spells, and send down his own dependents......

Of course...... Because of the need to cross borders, the cost of this operation will be very high for the true gods, so generally speaking, there will be no true gods who will do this.

Except for Eve, who is on the same plane as the temple......

The totem guardian that Eve killed at the beginning, the demigod Walker, was actually summoned by the Night Wanderer after taking a statue of Urel that the cave tribe had prayed for hundreds of years as the core, and using other magical materials to build a true god summoning circle.

For this reason, the Night Wanderer directly consumed the power of faith that the cave tribe had accumulated in the idol for a long time.

However, in addition to these functions, believers can also use a similar method to activate the power of faith in the idol, so that the temple can be powerful, build a large-scale defensive magic, or cast a critical attack magic spell!

It is also for this reason that when hostile forces attack any city with a temple, they must find a way to destroy the statues in the temple first.

Otherwise, you will have to think about how to defend against the temple's counterattack, or break the temple's defenses.

If the orcs had used the idol to perform defensive magic at the last moment, they would not have been chased and killed so badly by the black dragon Merrell, but would have been able to evacuate some more clansmen relatively calmly......

It's just that everything is impossible, and choosing to summon the demigod Walker means that the energy of the idol will be consumed.

And when observing the temple of the god of death, Eve's heart was also slightly surprised.

She noticed that the glow of the core of faith in the Temple of Death in Black Rock seemed to be dim, and that the faith network was crumbling......

In this case, it means that the energy of the idol in the temple of death, which stores the power of faith, may not have accumulated much, or it has already been consumed.

Could it be that because of the existence of the followers of the Lord of Shadows, the Church of the Reaper has not completely mastered Black Rock City?

Or did the Church of the Dead ever use the power of faith in the idols?

Eve frowned slightly.

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she had a little guess.

I saw Eve retract her gaze, and then stepped lightly into the temple......
