Chapter 309: The Easter Egg at the End of the Dark Tide
"Haha, Djeru, you're doing a great job. Well, I'm not short of money at the moment, and this half of the gold will be used as the church's development fund. You've recently bought a place in the city to clean up and use as the base camp of the Holy Spirit. He pushed half of the gold coin over.
Seeing that Djeru wanted to shirk the rejection, Monfila waved his hand and continued: "Don't be busy refusing, the number of believers is increasing, and we must have a special place to enhance the sense of belonging of believers. Couldn't we set up a platform in the grass outside the city for the next advancement ceremony, right? ”
Djeru was more excited after hearing this, and accepted the gold coin, he also put a lot of effort into the Holy Spirit Cult, and naturally wanted the church to develop better and better. After calming down, he asked, "My lord, the Holy Sect, is it finally possible to act publicly?" ”
Meng Feila pondered for a long time, the secret expansion of power before was because the strength was too weak, and he was afraid that other forces would find out and be suppressed.
Now, there are about a hundred awakened people who are about to be second-order, but the other more than 200 new believers are still ordinary people, and they don't have high-end combat power, so their overall strength is still not enough for the time being.
Thinking of the pillar of light that fell from the top of the cathedral during the last New Year's celebration, Memphira felt that the power of the church in this world was unfathomable, and it was better to be cautious for now.
"Wait, it's not time yet, our strength is too weak. In this way, you should hurry up and do the matter of raising the Holy Church's residence, but all missionary activities are still carried out in secret, especially the matter that the Holy Spirit can give everyone the power of awakening is the top secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. ”
"Yes! Rest assured, the mission has always been carried out in secret, not in terms of speed, but in steadyness. I'll get the rest done as soon as possible, and then I'll welcome the messenger and perform miracles. ”
Monfila nodded, telling Djeru to get on his errands as soon as possible. He pondered for a moment, and when he developed more than a thousand believers, and several of his own people were transferred, he should not be afraid of revealing secrets. When the level of believers is also raised, the combat power will be too strong.
We must vigorously develop believers, the more heads, the more harvest will be every month, and Memphira is looking forward to the day when she will be overwhelmed by the rolling gold coins.
By the way, I finally returned to the city, and I should go again in the next two days to see if there is any pain essence to earn. At present, there is only one piece of essence left in Meng Feila's hands, and the loyalty of more than a dozen believers of the Holy Spirit Sect has become "fanatical", and these backbone teams need to advance and improve their strength if they want to be independent.
In the days that followed, Monfila made high-profile appearances in the city, especially a few visits to Yoland's long-reopened infirmary. Although there is an undercurrent surging in the city, everyone who cares knows that the little necromancer who can heal the disempowered retainer is back.
Meng Feila's idea was right, some forces were just because they didn't have the essence at hand, but for various reasons, there was still a lot of need to heal to restore their strength, and after they urgently got the essence from other areas of the family, they found that the "healing master" was gone.
What Monfila didn't know was that many people had prayed that he wouldn't hang up during his last adventure, and he had unknowingly become the sweetheart of Rog City.
In the next few days, Meng Feila was invited to go around, and after adding several more places to her "Special Forces" column, there were also ten more pieces of pain essence in her personal space.
And Djeru is very efficient, and in the past few days, he has done all the things that Meng Feira commanded, and even connected the junior and a new large number of believers, waiting for Meng Feira to perform the awakening ceremony of the miracle when he is free.
Monfila had been to see it once, and the first Cult of the Holy Spirit that Djeru had bought was located in the West City area, which was a few dilapidated courtyards not too far from the city walls.
The area of Xicheng was chosen, firstly, it was a relatively empty and idle area, and secondly, almost all the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult had developed from Xicheng, which was conducive to secrecy work.
Djeru decorated the area as a low-end porter hangout, including low-grade taverns, inns, etc. It is claimed that after the awakening of several poor boys in the slums, they did not forget their original intentions, and after getting good equipment, they sold it for money to feed the poor people and built it as a mutual aid station for the poor people in Xicheng.
This excuse is not bad, even if a caring person knows that there are a large number of ordinary people gathered, they don't bother to bother, after all, family power and people in the slums are like two poles of the world.
……
The awakening ceremony is already the second time, and Memphira is familiar with it. He had discussed the details with Djeru and the others in advance, and all the processes were going on in an orderly manner.
The original abandoned courtyard has been cleaned up, and the surrounding fence has been repaired and thickened to a certain extent.
With the abundant funds to back it up, Djeru put a lot of effort into rearranging the courtyard around, mainly in terms of security and privacy, and from the outside of the courtyard, it was difficult to see the central courtyard used for the usual activities of the believers.
And in the key positions of several passages into the courtyard, there are clever subordinates selected by Jeru from the previous group of believers, who have memorized the faces of all the believers, and with the signs uniformly distributed by Jeru, it is enough to distinguish whether it is a believer or someone who has mixed in from outside.
During key events such as large gatherings, if outsiders enter, they will block them in advance and send out the police, and the security force is okay.
Djeru remembered the phrase "a thousand people" that Monfila had mentioned, so he prepared a very large courtyard when he bought it. At this time, more than 300 people were sitting on the side of the courtyard, but it still seemed empty.
The specific process is basically the same as last time, and there are two more people watching the ceremony: Jennifer and Adric.
At the very beginning of the ceremony, as proposed by Memphira, Djeru and the other seven led his current core personnel to read the canons of the Holy Spirit.
The voice was not loud, but it seemed very ceremonial in a solemn atmosphere, and suddenly, the whispers of the new believers below were gone.
After an impassioned foreshadowing of loyalty and reward, dedication and feedback, Djeru and the other seven were successfully promoted to the third rank. They added the skill points they had prepared long ago to the twelfth level skill, and the believers in the audience cheered excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, in order of core personnel and loyalty, Djeru announced one by one that the last group of awakened beginner believers had come to power, and they would be promoted to the second order with the blessing of Meng Feila.
This time, only the core members cultivated by Djeru prepared in advance and released the second-order skills as a demonstration, and the believers in the audience cheered excitedly again.
Meng Feila opened the hero panel and saw that after this process-based ritual, stimulated by the promoted people, the loyalty of almost most of the believers has increased to a certain extent.
Djeru and the other seven are currently at the "Fanatic" level, and 90 percent of the people who have been newly promoted to the second rank have reached "worship". And the more than 250 new ordinary believers have all reached the minimum level of "friendliness".
The last batch of advancements began, and according to the same routine as during the last assembly, groups of more than a dozen people awakened one after another, and the Holy Spirit Cult had a large number of beginner awakened people.
According to Djeru's arrangement, the backbone of the church formed in the past six months and more impassionedly swore allegiance to Monfila in public, bringing the atmosphere of the meeting to the highest peak.
After that, Meng Feila and the others left early and did not participate in the ensuing dinner. Djeru and other church backbones are responsible for follow-up doctrinal propagation and combat common sense training. The backbone of these things has already been done again, and new people have been trained to be familiar with the road.
……
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed, and Mefilah was mixed up at the docks every day, and for some reason there were more ships on the docks, but he still couldn't get the point.
It seems that the way to comprehend the boat trick will not work at all, and he doesn't want to spend it any longer. It's been about twenty days since I've been back in the city to recuperate, and it's time to set off on the adventure.
However, after returning to the small courtyard in the north of the city, he was surprised to find that Djeru was waiting here with a few people, and the atmosphere was still a little dignified.
"Aren't you going to take the newcomer on an adventure in the next two days? Why are you still free to come over, what happened? ”
"Your Excellency, didn't you get the news? In the past two days, the news from the Awoken Alliance and some families has said that the dark tide of half a year ago is coming to an end, and the monsters outside are about to make abnormal big moves, and may even attack our town! ”
What the? Monsters will attack the city! Everyone was taken aback. A thought flashed through Meng Feila's heart, could it be that the "monster siege" of the dark world is about to happen?
"What's going on, you tell me in detail."
Djeru sat down, took a sip of the fruit wine on the table, and said, "Actually, I already noticed that something was wrong when I was preparing the stronghold in the west of the city ten days ago, and the price of all the adventure materials in the city has already increased.
The current mission announcements of the Awoken Alliance are all warning that the danger in the wild is about to rise significantly, and reminding everyone to reduce their adventures recently. It is said that some of the field supply points they originally set up outside will also be withdrawn one after another.
And according to the news of some peripheral minions of the big family, most of the families have been constantly recalling the clansmen who have gone out. So it is very likely that this rumor is true, and the end of the dark tide will be accompanied by great danger. ”
No wonder, Memphira has been running to the north of the city every day lately, but she has also found that passers-by have been in a hurry and worried recently, and the boats on the dock are indeed frequent, but she didn't even expect something to happen, it's really dull!
Moreover, there should have been signs of this thing for a long time. Looking at it like this, it was found that the supply points of the Tamo Heights and the Dark Forest were no longer there, and it should not have been taken away by the monsters, but it was notified that it was in danger and retreated back in advance.
"My lord, what should we do?" Djeru couldn't help but ask when he saw Meng Feira pondering.
As soon as Monfila looked up, in addition to Djeru, Kaori and Isriel also looked at him expectantly.
Monfila knew that he was no longer the leader of a squad, and the fate of more than 360 followers of the Holy Spirit was closely tied to him.
He frowned and thought, in many games, monsters are usually encountered, but he didn't expect this dark world to happen too, is this the easter egg at the end of the dark tide?
Monster sieges are usually very dangerous, but at the same time they are a very rare opportunity, and if you win, you will gain a lot of experience and equipment.
"If there really are monsters organizing to attack the town, it will be a disaster. But for the Awakened, it is also a rare opportunity.
However, now we have too little information and intelligence, and if there is really a big thing next, it will be very passive, so you will mainly mobilize the believers to do these three things. ”
Djeru nodded hurriedly.
"First, comprehensively investigate the news of this so-called monster attack. I believe that soon there will be news from the various forces, and several major forces will also make announcements, and we want to be as accurate and detailed as possible. ”
"Second, organize your subordinates to buy more common supplies, mainly food and water, as if they were going to go on a long adventure."
"Third, break up the more than 100 believers who have just been promoted to the second order, and let them train the newly awakened more than 200 people. The next battle should be fierce, and if you practice more now, you will have fewer deaths in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, Meng Feila took out another three thousand gold coins from his pocket space and handed it over, it costs a lot of money to find out information and prepare supplies, and there is no way to save it now.
It's really painful, half of the "membership dues" paid by the believers last time were used to establish the Holy Spirit Cult base, and the other half was used up after an awakening ceremony, but I didn't expect it to be upside down again.
It seems that the good thing that the gold coins I hope are rolling in will have to wait for the end of this monster siege to start! I hope they can level up and fight more monsters soon, and hand in the money as soon as possible!
He was embarrassed to ask the Holy Spirit Messenger to break Fejru, but he also knew that now was not the time to shirk, so he immediately took it, discussed with Memphira how to contact him every day, and left in a hurry.
"Iselil, have you ever seen a monster attack before?" Meng Feila thought of Ixriel's history and quickly asked.
"I didn't have access to many texts when I was in the Nataya family, and I didn't have any news about it. However, it is better to believe that there is something we should have prepared for. ”
Meng Feila nodded, "It just so happens that the equipment has been repaired a few days ago, and tomorrow we will gather Rodhart and them back, and then purchase as many supplies as possible, and stuff as much as they can." ”
……
Three days later, the Blind Eye Monastery rang the huge bell in the cathedral, and the mysterious power spread the huge bell throughout the city, which lasted for more than half an hour, and everyone knew that something was going to happen, and rushed to the Dawn Square.
Two hours later, more than eighty percent of the people in Rog City had gathered at Dawn Square. The crowd was bustling, even more numerous than during the New Year's celebrations, and several streets near the square were filled with people.
