Chapter 20: The God of Winter and the Hunt (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Goblin Priest?
Eve's heart sank.
In general, priests cannot be born in goblins, as they have neither totems nor beliefs.
But once a Goblin Priest is born, it means that the group is likely to have a race totem or a god to whom they have taken refuge......
If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter......
Thinking of Basaka's deliberate hiding, Eve already had some guesses in her heart......
Only if you take refuge in a certain god will you let the oak guard the rat trap!
"Who is it?"
The majestic voice resounded in Basaka's mind, only this time, the voice took on a hint of seriousness.
Basaka instantly understood what the mother goddess meant, he took a deep breath, and replied respectfully in his consciousness:
"According to my observations, it should be the god of winter and hunting, Urrel."
Really!
Eve's heart was a little heavy.
It was exactly the same goal He had envisioned!
He knew that the orcs had planted a tribe near the Elven Forest.
And as the biggest source of believers in the gods of winter and hunting, the orc tribe also means that it is the eyes of Urrel.
From the inheritance of the World Tree, Eve already has a certain understanding of Urrel.
Urel is a relatively young deity of faith, who is said to have been born from a primordial totem two thousand years ago, and has the strength of a weak divine power.
His priesthood is winter and hunting, and since ancient times, he has been at odds with the World Tree, which controls nature, life, and spirits, and in the War of the Gods, he is also an enemy of the World Tree.
After the fall of the World Tree, this brutal god did not give up his persecution of the elves, and is now the biggest enemy of the elves.
As such, he is also on Eve's list of must-kill, whether it's for the revenge of his predecessor or for his own safety and strength......
And now, it seems that this god is still collecting the blood crystals of the World Tree!
In search of a target, he even took in goblins!
Goblins are creatures that are of low intelligence and offer very little power of faith, but they are afraid of the strong and are suitable for coolies. Therefore, it is not surprising that they were able to be chosen by Urrel.
However, Urral's collection operation should not have started for long, after all, the divine blood crystals were sealed before this, and it was difficult for the living beings to find them.
Thinking of this, He had some guesses:
"Could it be...... Urel, the god of winter and hunting, has discovered the changes in the blood crystals of the gods, and wants to obtain the priesthood of nature and life by analyzing the collected blood crystals? ”
The Winter and Hunting priesthoods possessed by Urrel are all sub-priesthoods, which are one level lower than the main priesthoods of nature and life, and their strength will naturally be a little weaker.
And the reason why Urel has been lingering with weak divine power for so many years is precisely because his priesthood is too poor.
Winter and hunting are inherently related to nature and life.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Urrel wants to obtain the priesthood of nature and life by analyzing the divine blood of the World Tree.
After all, for true gods, parsing the divine blood crystals is the quickest way to obtain information about other true gods.
However, Eve didn't think that Urrel would immediately associate the revival of the World Tree with the change in the Divine Blood Crystal, and at most he would think that the cursed magic was gone.
After all, a thousand years have passed, and it is normal for the masterless divine magic to disappear......
In addition, Eve is not worried that Urrel's plan will succeed.
Now He has been resurrected as the World Tree, regaining control over nature and life.
And the priesthood and the power of control are unique, so even if Urel is desperate now, he can't even analyze the priesthood he wants.
Urrel's true intentions fell through the cracks the moment Eve recovered.
But even so, absorbing the World Tree's Divine Blood Crystals would provide Urel with a certain amount of divine power, making him even more powerful.
That's not what Eve wants.
After all, the World Tree's divine blood crystals were supposed to belong to his successor, Eve, and it also meant a chance for him to quickly regain his strength!
Thinking of this, Eve continued to ask:
"What are those goblins?"
"Most of them are level 5 or above, and a few are elite level 10, but the Goblin Priest has the strength of the 11th level of black iron lower rank, and the specific number of priests is not known at this time."
Basaka replied.
The strength is not very strong.
Eve nodded inwardly.
At this level of strength, if it weren't for the fear that it might be discovered by Ural, Basaka could sweep the opponent away with one finger.
"The Priest Leader is level 11, the Elite is level 10, and the others are level 5 to 9......
"At this level, it's quite suitable for players to train their troops."
Eve muttered inwardly.
After a few days of missions, the strength of the three hundred players has long since changed from what it used to be, and most of them have been promoted to level 7 or above.
Not only that, but there are also some daily liver emperors and designer bosses, who have been promoted to the last level of apprenticeship level 10 by doing tasks, and they are only one step away from transferring to the black iron rank.
With this strength, it is more difficult to deal with other powerful Black Iron monsters, but it is more than enough to deal with goblins, even if it is a level 11 Black Iron Lower Priest, the players are not invincible when united.
These days, players are constantly trying to do tasks, but similarly, long-term repetitive work has also caused boredom for many people.
So far, there have been quite a few daring players who have ignored the system's beginner guidelines and tried to explore outside the safe zone.
At this time, the best thing to do is to have some fun with them.
Originally, Eve planned to let Basaka drive some suitable monsters from outside the safe zone for players to upgrade for entertainment, and then encourage them to go out and surf after reaching level 11.
But the appearance of the goblin made Eve see another better way.
"Basaka is a druid who admires nature, and although he doesn't say it, if I really let him drive away wild beasts, it will definitely affect his faith...... Goblins are different, though. ”
"Goblins are already in the hostile camp, and their strength is on the weak side, hunting them will not affect the perception of the indigenous believers, and their strength is not so threatening to the player."
"Not only that, but letting players hunt goblins can also sabotage Urral's plans and indirectly gain the approval of the elven revenant."
"In addition, players can also assist me in finding the Divine Blood Crystal! Get me out of my NDE faster! ”
"Hehe, it seems that I will soon be able to get the first return on my investment in players!"
Thinking of this, Eve already had a plan in her heart.
He's going to design a sub-plot to develop the game's first "quest" on the ruins of Emerald for players to deal with the goblins!
The player is not the same as Basaka.
Basaka is Eve's confidant and follower, and his actions against Urel's minions, the Priests, will attract the attention of the other party.
But players aren't.
Although they have the appearance of elves, they are not believers.
Not being a believer means that there is no imprint of the gods on the soul.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the player is a believer, their soul is on the blue star, and it is only consciousness that comes here. Urel wants to find out about the existence of the Mark of Faith, so let's go to Blue Star first.
Thousands of years ago, the gods witnessed the fall of the World Tree...... And firmly believe in it.
At most, the player's move will make Urel suspect that some of the elves who have lost their faith have returned to the Elven Forest, and will not arouse his suspicions about the revival of the World Tree.
Coupled with the goblins living in the ruins of the holy city of Emerald Emerald, it was already an insult to the arrogant elves, and it was not surprising that angry elves would make a move.
In this case, without the participation of the god's followers, the mere extermination of a few goblins would not be enough to attract much attention from Ulral.
Eve doesn't think that the Goblins of Emerald are all that Urel has recruited, and since there is even this place, then the ruins of other elven cities scattered around the Elven Forest are probably also infiltrated by Urrel.
Of course, Eve didn't think she could hide it for long.
Now that Urrel had discovered that the Divine Blood Crystal had lifted the seal, he would sooner or later realize that the curse of the World Tree had been broken.
In this case, it was only a matter of time before He sent His Companion to explore the World Tree......
So, Eve's exposure is only a matter of time.
Fortunately, the only true god who has noticed the blood crystallization of the gods is Ulel, a god with weak divine power.
Eve must improve her strength as soon as possible......
For this, it is worth taking some risks.
Thinking of this, Eve has already made a decision.
"Basaka, I have something to explain to you."
