Roseth nodded, her voice choked up, "We're all fine, it's grandpa...... I got sick on the way, and then I ...... My father and mother are fine, but some of our neighbors are sick and are afraid of ......."

Shepard sighed: "For those who are sick, the church will arrange for pastors and saints to treat them, but God is not omnipotent, so if someone can't resist, don't be too upset." ”

Roseth sobbed and suddenly hugged Shepard: "You...... Don't leave me behind, okay......"

Shepard was stunned, hugged Roses gently, didn't care about the dust on her body, and patted her back: "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid, you have worked hard all the way, and the others will be arranged by the people of the Earl's Court, you and Othello will stay in the temple in the future, let someone take you to take a bath and sleep well." ”

After comforting her for a while, Roses reluctantly let go of Shepard, and he said to Othello: "Take care of your sister, this has been more than a year, hard work for her, you are a good guy, when you have rested, I will have a new arrangement for you." ”

He called a probationary saintess and asked her to take the two sisters and brothers down to clean and bathe, and when he was the only one left in the room, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

As the caravan returned to the county of Ordon and news from the north gradually spread to the center, Maru received the news from Shepard and reported it to the tribe, and the Ruth tribe arranged an advance party of several hundred people to search the north coast.

Halfway through, he met a refugee from a small tribe destroyed by the expeditionary fleet, confirming the news that the invaders from another continent had landed.

Faced with such a threat, Massaroth, who held the priesthood of ice and trade and gave up the idea of continuing the conquest of the other tribes in the East and West, and began to ask the priests and warriors of the Ruth tribe to prepare for war.

The existence of the [Church of Light] is also known to the Ruth tribe, but the distance is so far away, it seems that the danger is not as terrible as the menacing expeditionary fleet, and Maru is also very happy, although he is not afraid of fighting, but he is not willing to go to war with the brother who saved his life.

In this way, after the barrier of the northern tribes such as the Ruth tribe, the power of the [Church of Light] continues to develop in the central part with peace of mind......

In the ashram of the temple, Shepard, who closed his eyes and meditated, looked at the spiritual sea.

The original somewhat rough primordial godhead, the appearance gradually melted, deformed, drops of golden liquid dripping into the spiritual sea, this is the process of continuous purification and optimization of the primordial godhead, although the dripping is the impurities of the godhead, in fact, it is also extremely pure power, which can improve the quality and power of spiritual power.

The spiritual sea gradually became no longer calm, Shepard mobilized his spiritual power, dyed with the golden spiritual sea and the waves were turbulent, and the spiritual power of the simulated waves continued to wash away the godhead, washing away the impurities, leaving only the essence.

The golden color on the surface of the primordial godhead was gradually washed away, mixed with spiritual power to strengthen Shepard's spiritual sea, leaving only a translucent four-sided crystal in its place, like a sketch constructed purely with light, looking illusory and fragile.

The stored power of faith flowed out of thin air, and the milky white power of faith filled into the empty crystals on all sides, and was transformed into pale golden divine power by this evolved new godhead, as if an invisible hand was weaving cloth, pulling it into silk threads with divine power, and gradually covering the four sides of the crystal with gold.

When the crystals on all sides were covered with gold again, the light of white and gold bloomed inside and outside it, and the invisible power continued to adjust the shape of the godhead, and finally, the godhead that became the diamond-shaped crystal on all sides stabilized, and the exchange of divine power and the power of faith became orderly, and all the clergy of the believers [Lord of Light, Tonatiu] instantly sensed the joy shared by the gods after their promotion, as well as the ritual of obtaining divine magic through prayer.

Shepard has finally been promoted from weak divine power to weak divine power, no longer a demigod on the ground, but a true god who can establish a kingdom in the outer plane, and he has limited the way of granting holy power, only extremely devout holy priestesses, and the clergy above them can obtain a certain amount of holy power, and the remaining clergy who meet the qualifications for obtaining divine power will only be able to obtain divine power.

At present, Shepard is only a weak-level divine power, and he can only grant a level 3 divine skill at the most, but except for several regular divine skills that are rewarded to him by the will of the world after his automatic promotion, he does not have a special divine skill of his own.

Each of the four sides of the godhead has a rune representing extraordinary power, and the promotion of weak divine power plus the reward of the will of the world, he has newly obtained three extraordinary divine powers, so the godhead is tetrahedron, and the four transcendent divine powers have added three extraordinary divine powers: [Sage Clone], [Individual Divine Power Shield], and [Divine Power Enlightenment].

[Sage clone] is to consume a large amount of divine power and a certain divinity at one time, to create a saint similar to the extension of the gods, the attribute value will be the general of the current attributes of the gods, is the expansion of all the perceptions of the gods, after creation, can act independently, similar to the elect, can freely borrow the power of the gods, as long as it is allowed.

[Individual Divine Power Shield], this is a weakened version of the weakened version of the extraordinarily powerful divine power [Divine Power Shield], the god's body will have a layer of divine power shield that covers all directions, with this, it is basically impossible for the god to be killed by a sneak attack.

[Divine Power Enlightenment], a one-time consumption of a certain amount of divine power, forced to improve the intelligence of any lifeform, and transform him into a true believer of the god, the biggest benefit of this transcendent divine power is not to transform believers, but to raise certain races that are born with mental retardation or insufficient intelligence to the extent that they can communicate, such as goblins and kobolds.

The magic that can be given is the common magic of the order and neutral camps, such as [Light Technique], [Flame Arrow], [Proficient Language], [Purification of Evil], [Purification of Curse], [Purification of Undead Creatures] and other common magic of the Orderly and Neutral factions.

Shepard opened his eyes and examined the changes on the properties panel.

"Extraordinary Divine Power...... Good thing, but unfortunately there are too many pre-requirements, and there are few that are easy to use without pre-requirements......"

"However, since you can create a sage, you don't need to create a divine doppelganger."

The divine clone needs to consume a lot of divinity, which is far less convenient than the sage clone that mainly consumes divine power, and there is not much difference between the two in terms of attributes and growth, so Shepard naturally chooses a more cost-effective one.

After making a decision in his heart, he began to get busy, it would take at least a day to create a sage clone, and only one weak god power could have one, a medium god power could have 5, and a strong god power could have 20, and every time after making a clone, the gods would enter a weak state and need to recuperate for a year, so if it was not necessary, the gods would not easily create a clone.

However, in addition to the time constraints, Shepard is also very short of manpower, and his own ability needs to be improved as soon as possible, and he can't go out in person, so he has to create a clone to do it, just to find an opportunity to break into the Old World Expeditionary Force, and the sage can also use the extraordinary divine power possessed by the gods.

A day later, the pale Shepard still didn't look weak, but he summoned the prince back, and no longer let it run around at will, but stayed near the temple to protect his master.

In the newly departed caravan of the church city, a human male with an ordinary appearance but an extremely strong body silently followed the caravan out of the city behind him.

*

Near the ruins of the town of Loslick.

Shepard's doppelganger was dressed as a hunter, with a longbow, feathered arrows, a short sword, and an inconspicuous look of grey armor, but in fact tanned from a tough leather, fastened with thin hemp rope and brass buckles.

Since the last survivors were evacuated, Orton had not paid attention to the ruins for a long time, until Shepard's Sage clones had returned to the area.

The Sage Clones can also be seen as an individual to some extent, they can be said to be part of the gods, but for the sake of readability, we still refer to them as Shepard.

The ruins were already overgrown with vines and weeds that they liked to climb on, and the Sage's eyes were also extremely keen, and from a distance of hundreds of meters, he could still see that at the bombed gate and wall, the originally smooth road had been occupied by weeds, only to be trampled by pedestrians or other things that kept passing by.

He narrowed his eyes, and the reason why he used something to describe it was because he saw some figures coming and going, moving something.

Kobolds.

These ferocious and savage things are said to have the blood of dragons, and because the dragons themselves are also alien species in this world, the existence of this creature can be found wherever humans set foot in, similar to this, there are lizardmen, snake people and other wurms, and in some places there are dragon-descended plants.

What was moved looked like a human corpse, Shepard was expressionless, those people chose to die on their own, neither he nor the church had the energy to save the people seeking death.

'Just right, grab a stronger one and be a nail. He sank into the forest, looked at the sky, found a large tree with thick branches, climbed up, leaned against the trunk, and waited quietly for the night to come.

When night fell, the moonlight poured over the forests and ruins instead of daylight, and Shepard looked as usual, and wherever there was light, it was his home field, day and night.

He hunched up and ran like a ruin, the moonlight shining on his body, but it was so strangely refracted that when he looked away, he could only see a woodland illuminated by the moonlight, but he could not see his figure.

"Light refraction." The 2-ring magic spell can be released just by hand for him, but it is very effective when used in the right place.
