Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Song of Port Kapoor
After encountering an ambush, Grimm and his party had a smooth journey and did not encounter any enemies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a long journey, before the sun set, Green and his party finally arrived at Capper Harbor.
Looking at the city surrounded by a moat not far away, Green felt a sense of nostalgia.
In the game, Port Capper is a multi-ethnic religious city and the largest port city in the Northlands. Skins and herbs from the Silverleaf Forest and the Otlan Mountains gathered here, and merchants transported them to other countries through the Sea of Damned, and from other places they brought in various supplies that were not available in the Northlands, as well as a variety of Sea Clan specialties from underwater.
In the game, the Sea of the Damned area is a popular area for merchants, although it is not as lucrative as ocean trade, but it is safe, efficient, and can practice leather and pharmaceutical skills at the same time as running merchants, so Kapoor Harbor has become a frequent place for merchant players in the early game.
Green glanced at Capper Harbor from afar, then turned to Mitchell and said, "Mitchell, take your clothes off." ”
"Huh!!" Mitchell looked at Green nervously, "Senpai, what do you want to do?" ”
"The Church of the Sea Goddess has a very high influence in Capper Harbor, and as the priest of Mother Earth, you better change your clothes and hide your identity for a while." While the pastoral profession is often given preferential treatment, once in the sphere of influence of a hostile church, preferential treatment can become difficult in various ways.
Although Mitchell is only a trainee priest and her status in the Mother Earth Church is equivalent to a temporary worker, after all, she is a member of the Mother Earth Church, and entering the sphere of influence of the Church of the Sea Goddess in such a priesthood is simply making it more difficult for herself to survive!
It's a pity that Mitchell doesn't understand Green's painstaking work at all: "Why? Mitchell looked at Green puzzled, "They are both one of the three ancient gods of nature, so there should be no conflict between them." ”
Green looked at Mitchell with a grim expression: "...... Do you really not understand or do you not understand? ”
“???” The girl looked dazed.
Seeing that she really didn't seem to understand, Green finally explained, "You should know the origin of the Sea of Damned, right?" ”
"Well, learned in the chronicles of the church. It is said that 300 years ago, a demon god known as the 'Shadow Demon King' appeared, and although the demon god was finally defeated, he cast a very powerful curse before he died, turning the originally rich land into a cursed land that could spread automatically. In order to prevent the curse from spreading, the Mother Earth Church gathered one hundred and thirty-one high-ranking priests and jointly released a divine magic: [Continental Sinking Technique], which sank all the cursed land to the bottom of the sea, turning it into the current Cursed Sea. ”
"Do you know what kind of impact the cursed land had on the ocean when it sank into the sea?"
"I don't know." Mitchell shook her head.
"The sea is polluted, and it is polluted on a large scale, and it will eventually lead to the demotion of all the clergy of the goddess of the sea!"
Marine pollution is not uncommon on Earth. If a shipload of oil leaks on land, it will pollute a small area around the oil depot at most, but if it leaks in the sea, it will pollute a large area of the sea! When the pastors of Mother Earth Church sank a heavily polluted land into the sea, they avoided the pollution on land, but at the cost of polluting the entire ocean.
Although the ocean has a certain "purification" ability, the land that sank at the beginning was too big, and the pollution ability was too strong, which had an extremely serious impact on the Ocean Goddess, which directly led to the collective downgrading of the clergy of the Ocean Goddess at that time! Therefore, the clergy of the goddess of the sea are full of hostility to the priests of Mother Earth, and if it weren't for the fact that the three ancient gods of nature could not start a religious war, maybe they would have started a direct war a long time ago.
Although it is not possible to go to war directly, if a priest of Mother Earth appears in a religious city that believes in the goddess of the sea, all kinds of provocations and troubles will definitely not be less, and if Mitchell enters the port of Capper wearing this priest's robe, it is not impossible for those priests of the goddess of the sea to directly find a trumped-up charge for Mitchell.
At Green's insistence, Mitchell finally took off her coat and wore only a white shirt and trousers with a base layer, giving the impression of changing from an elegant priest to an athletic girl in an instant. Well, an athletic girl with big boobs.
After tucking Mitchell's priest's robes into their backpacks, Green and his party crossed the moat along a bridge, paid the entry tax, and entered the port of Kapoor.
The wide bluestone road, the residential buildings in the northern Ritis style, and the faces of pedestrians are full of vitality. It's a thriving city, with thriving commerce that makes the residents look forward to the future, and occasionally see some sea tribes in the city.
Once in town, Green made a beeline for the Adventure Guild in Port Capper.
Located next to Exchange Square in the south of the city, just across the street from the temple of the goddess of wealth, Workin, the adventure guild of Port Capper looks like an ordinary building, but the sign at the entrance and the emblem of the god of adventure prove that this place is indeed the adventure guild of Port Kapoor.
Just as Green was about to go in, Saqia suddenly took two steps forward and stretched out her hand to stop Green: "Master, there's something ahead!" ”
"Huh?" Green stopped, "What's going on?" ”
"Something seems wrong with the air ahead." Sakia frowned, as if she didn't know what to say, "Something is wrong. ”
"Something is wrong with the air?" Green looked ahead in bewilderment, taking a closer look at the street.
After taking a closer look, Green found something unusual. There are many pedestrians passing by the streets, but young and old, regardless of gender, will involuntarily slow down their pace when passing in front of the adventurous union, with a happy smile on their faces, and even animals will involuntarily slow down their steps when passing by.
Greene: "Mitchell, you take two steps forward and step back. ”
"Eh!!" Mitchell's eyes widened.
"Rest assured, there will be no danger. I'm just trying to make sure. ”
The girl hesitated for a few seconds, but finally cautiously walked towards the adventure union.
After walking a few steps, the girl seemed to hear something, and couldn't help but stop and listen.
"I think I hear the singing." Mitchell's stiff body suddenly relaxed, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
