Chapter 24: Change!
Overseas archipelago, Modo City.
This is a magnificent city with a history of hundreds of years, it was born during the Sage Havoc, it was only a humble new type of city at the time, but with the rise of the god of death Sauron, the city has also grown from strength to strength, especially in the more than 100 years since the end of the Sage Havoc, it has almost become one of the largest megacities in the main material plane. Today, with a population of over 10 million, a huge port anchored by merchant ships from all over the world, and a constant stream of caravans, the city became an important transit point between the mainland and overseas islands with the rise of maritime trade and the advent of the colonial era.
The city worships Lord Sauron, the Lord of Death.
Almost more than seventy percent of the inhabitants here are pan-believers in the Grim Reaper, because the Grim Reaper does not oblige believers to serve him alone, and many also believe in the goddess of agriculture and the goddess of wealth.
In addition to the Temple of Death, the largest temples in Modo City are the Temple of Agriculture and the Temple of Wealth, both of which are powerful gods and are also among the most staunch allies of the Grim Reaper. In particular, the goddess of wealth, it is said that she was able to rise to a powerful divine power in this hundred years, and the help of the god of death is absolutely indispensable, because the arrival of the era of maritime trade and colonization is because of the death behind the scenes, and the goddess of wealth has become the most important beneficiary of the economic development of the entire world. As for the goddess of agriculture, she rarely intervened in the disputes between the gods, and her followers were always committed to improving agriculture and growing the population, and many druids were her followers.
During the Sage Tribulation, the population of Modo City was only about 200,000, but now it has increased fifty times, and the goddess of agriculture is definitely indispensable!
There is a 30-meter-wide avenue from the port to the city center, the surrounding buildings are quite symmetrical, the streets are clean and tidy regularly, and there are many flowers and trees planted on both sides.
Of course, the rumors that the Grim Reaper has a slight cleanliness fetish also started here.
To the south of the port's business district is a large vacant lot, which was recently planned as a new residential area, but the town hall was forced to transform it into a natural ecological park due to the Druidic Order's arguments.
In recent decades, the Druid Order has been quite active.
They are committed to the harmony between the city and the natural environment, believing that every city needs at least 30% green belt, and their idea can be said to be a headache for many city hall officials, if they were not able to defeat them at all, they would have already started at the negotiating table.
No way.
The druid profession is still very good, and behind it is the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, who seems to be planning to master the new priesthood in a special way.
From time to time, there are patrols in black shirts passing by on the streets, they are the guards of Modo City, they look quite strong, this city has the most powerful navy in the main material plane, because of the relationship with the deep sea giants, the soldiers look murderous.
Although the Sage Catastrophe is over, some of the aftermath has not completely dissipated, and there are still mutated marine creatures in some polluted areas.
There are quite a few half-elves to be seen in the city.
This is the place with the largest population of half-elves, and because of the half-blood, many humans are combined with half-elves, and nearly two-fifths of the inhabitants of Modo City have a trace of half-elf blood. The city's laws are strict, so the law and order is quite good, at least no one intends to provoke the vigilantes in Modo, because there are many veterans who have returned from the overseas islands.
There are many merchants from Arendelle in the port area, most of whom worship the goddess of ice, and it is said that Arendelle's ruler is the heir of the god of death, but this is not officially recognized.
The night is slightly cool.
An emaciated figure suddenly appeared on the street, he looked like a half-elf, with black hair, dark brown eyes, walking in the shadows, and the pedestrians around him seemed to ignore him, he strolled through the city of Modo, and when he reached the center of the city, he stopped, and muttered, "More than a hundred years have passed." ”
The figure sat for a moment at the fountain in the square in the center of the city, and then walked towards the golden temple on the side.
It was the temple of the goddess of wealth.
Of all the gods, the Goddess of Fortune is the most coquettish one, because her temple loves gold and looks resplendent, the glass is made of crystal, and sometimes the walls are even inlaid with colorful gemstones. Her temple has not been attacked by dragons for so many years, and it can only be said that the strength of the goddess of wealth is still very strong, at least there are many powerful professionals in her order.
This emaciated figure entered the Temple of Fortune directly.
The Templar standing in the doorway did not seem to notice him, except for the archbishop's perceptive glance, but still found nothing.
This is a legendary priest.
Bishops who can sit in a metropolis like Mordor City in the Church are basically legendary professionals.
The Temple of Fortune is quite spacious, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious, a lot of gold and silver are used here, even the metal frame of the window is mixed with gold, as for the statue located in the center of the temple, it is naturally made of pure gold, it is a huge golden statue five or six meters high, if the dragon sees it, it will definitely not be able to hold it.
"You're here. A soft female voice rang out.
With a little golden brilliance emerging, a hazy phantus gradually solidified, and finally turned into a female figure wearing a gorgeous golden court dress, she nodded slightly and her expression seemed to be a little resentful: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
This is the embodiment of the goddess of wealth.
It is difficult for the gods to leave their realm, so they spend most of their time traveling in avatars.
"Hmm. The incarnation of the Grim Reaper had a calm expression and said slowly, "The Night Lady has already made a move. The situation in the south is chaotic. Let your followers prepare. ”
"Turbulent times are coming. ”
"The change has begun!"
The goddess of wealth has followers all over the world, and wherever there is trade, her followers are active, and although her church is not as capable of fighting as the Order of the Reaper, she is a good hand at gathering intelligence. In recent years, the population of the main material plane has skyrocketed, and the goddess of wealth and agriculture have improved the most.
As for the Grim Reaper himself, how to say it, he was the most capable god during the Sage Tribulation!
No one knows how powerful he is now.
Because after forcibly intervening in an abyssal bloody battle, there is no record of the god of death himself in the multiverse, and the gods can be said to be quite afraid of this.
