Chapter 307: Continued Rescue
The lord of the castle sent Edward a statistical report on the hardest-hit area.
Unlike the joy of the lord of the castle, Edward's reaction was the other extreme, Edward frowned and sighed, he felt a little pity and helplessness.
The text of the report states that thanks to Edward's efforts, seven lives were still lost.
Now in Nonorila, with the development of the Ancient Religion, the followers of the Ancient Religion of Nonorila have exceeded half of the total population of the city, and Edward can clearly perceive that two of the seven dead Nonorila people are shallow believers of their own church.
Unlike entering another world to save people, I don't know how Edward's shelter operates, Edward's shelter is very "stingy" to believers on the side of Sibia, and shallow believers cannot enter Edward's shelter, only those who have a firm faith and have reached the level of true believers are eligible to enter Edward's shelter.
Edward suspected that it might be a matter of "qualifications", similar to the original Wraiths, as well as the Sweepers, Edward easily accepted them into his own shelter, Edward estimated that it may be because the people who have experienced the Great Tribulation have polished their faith.
So, once they are willing to give their faith to a god, they will quickly pass the stage of shallow believers and true believers, and become devout believers that the gods like to see.
Of course, this is just Edward's speculation.
At the same time as the city lord sent the report, Edward's hands were holding two light blue soul-like orbs that were invisible to ordinary people, yes, this was none other than the two shallow believers of the ancient Ya God Sect who died in the earthquake disaster.
Relying on the guidance of faith, two muddy souls floated to Edward's side.
Looking at the faint golden lines on the soul orb, representing the heart of faith, Edward sighed softly, and then raised his hand to brush the two orbs, and the pale golden holy light gave the two souls a baptism.
"Go ahead." Edward raised his hand and gently sent it forward, and the two soul balls that became more and more pure surrounded Edward for a moment, and then slowly flew towards the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
In Sibia, people who have no faith and those who have shallow faith will return to the River Styx according to the ancient rules - the River Styx will summon the souls of the deceased, but to be honest, this kind of calling power is not strong, the summoning power is gradually increasing, through this mechanism of the River Styx, even the souls of ordinary people have the ability to continue to stay in Sibia for two to three days!
This is also the reason why the evil gods of Sibia have the opportunity to harvest souls.
The binding power of the dead in the River Styx in Sibia is really not high.
Yes, like an evil god, Edward did have the ability to forcibly keep the two souls in his hands, but after thinking about it for a long time, Edward decided to follow Sibia's rules.
In this life, he is a shallow believer, after Edward's baptism, Edward is very confident, and accepts Edward's soul of his baptism, and in the next life he will have a natural good impression of the ancient Asian gods, and when they return to Sibia, I believe that soon they will return to the arms of the ancient Asian gods, and be more religious.
Edward looked at the place where the soul disappeared, and a trace of a rather special subtle spatial fluctuation was captured by the keen Edward, Edward pondered for a moment, and said with some surprise: "...... Is this the breath of the heterogeneous plane where the River Styx is? ”
Styx, in Sibia, Styx is a very special existence, according to the research of the Archmages of Sibia, Styx is about in a special plane, this plane is subordinate to Sibia, relying on civilization to exist, refusing the entry of all living creatures.
In addition to rejecting living creatures, Styx is also a no-no for undead creatures!
The undead enter the River Styx, and if there is no special force to influence them, even they can only go with the flow, and then slowly be washed by the water of the River Styx, and finally obtain "new life".
Most of the undead are born because of obsession, they don't crave life, but when it comes to the River Styx, all this is undead.
For most of the undead who exist in Sibia, the River Styx is not their "home".
For example, there was actually a ferryman on the River Styx, and it was an ancient god.
Today, the ancient Grim Reaper is subordinate to Lady Attila, a general under Lady Attila, who has a church under his command called the Styx Church, and the priests under his command call themselves soul ferrymen.
As one of the ancient gods, Lord Death did not have much need for faith and rarely answered the prayers of believers, so his church was not big.
However, in Sibia, the Church of Styx is still famous, because it is a church that specializes in "scolding" the undead, and the purpose of the Church of Styx is to send all the undead who are stranded in the world of the living back to Styx.
In this regard, the Council of the Dead, composed of a group of undead kings, often protested: the undead should also enjoy human rights, the undead are also one of the racial composition of Sibia, and the Lady of Life is in charge of the mad dogs of the Styx Church! It's disgusting undead!
This is one of the reasons why it is said that the River Styx is not the "home" of the undead.
In an office inside the Magic Cinema.
Just when Edward was thinking about the breath of the River Styx, the green city lord sitting next to Edward felt a little curious, he looked at the stunned young priest in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty Edward?" ”
The city lord didn't mean it, but he was sitting in this office and was cold by Edward for a while, looking at Edward's just one set of actions, the city lord who couldn't see the soul was honestly confused.
What happened to Edward's crown? Without saying a word, you came to a set of slow-motion boxing? And then he looked stunned with a slight understanding?
"Huh?" Edward, who was called by name, immediately came back to his senses, and then he realized something, and quickly looked at the city lord with a slightly apologetic gaze, and said, "I'm sorry, city lord, I was sending the two children away just now. ”
"Uh...... Sending two kids away? The Lord of the City was a little confused, but soon a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and in the report received by the Lord of the City, two of the seven Nonorira people who died were followers of the Ancient Ya God Cult.
"Is that so, it's my fault, I should have arranged for the whole city to be transferred in the first place, but I underestimated this earthquake." The lord of the castle sighed, there are not many earthquakes on Nonorira's side, but most of them are small earthquakes that are only slightly felt.
And such a small earthquake, the disaster prediction of the Church of Life will also be announced.
The problem is that the Church of Life announcement does not include the magnitude of the earthquake.
"City Lord, if you say so, then my problem is even more serious, obviously I have released the divine support, but my ability is not enough."
"No, Your Majesty Edward, this time it is really thanks to you that the casualties in the city can be controlled so small, I must thank you for your timely action."
Edward shook his head and said worriedly: "Forget it, Lord City, let's start the rescue operation of the five villages and towns around Nonorlila as soon as possible, without the first aid of magic skills, I have a bad premonition." ”
