Moistened by the canal that drained from the Shadow River, the area around the Ghost City, or the original village that didn't even have a name. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The arid land was finally moistened, and under the leadership of the black-robed priests, people began to cultivate the land and grow crops on it.

The originally poor village gradually became rich after several good harvests, and the land here attracted more and more people.

The greenery gradually spread over the land, and the village grew in size until it finally became the size of a city, a ghost city.

It was a bustling city for hundreds of years, and people were grateful to the black-robed priests for helping them with everything they did.

Without the insistence of those black-robed priests, this would still be a barren and arid land, still just a little-known village.

The people came to believe in the teachings of the clergy, and began to accept them, and the faith in the Dark Court was passed down from generation to generation.

They don't have to count on the ethereal afterlife, although the people's background is not very good, but they can still reap happiness through hard work.

Even after the ensuing long war between the Church of Light and the Dark Curia, the people of Ghost City stood firmly behind the latter.

Until more than thirty years ago, the Dark Holy See suddenly disappeared without warning, and even the Shadow City disappeared into the raging fire.

As staunch supporters of the Dark See, the people of Ghost City are confident that the Dark See will not abandon them, and hold the city against the attacks of the Legion of Light.

However, after holding out for three long years, it finally declared the fall, and immediately after the fall, the Church of Light purified the ghost city.

Large numbers of believers were sent to the Valley of Atonement to atone for their sins, and the villages under its jurisdiction were brutally suppressed.

After more than 30 years, the city of Ghost City has lost its former prosperity, and the city walls have become dilapidated due to disrepair, and it looks very depressed.

After all, this chaotic land has not been invaded by foreign enemies for so many years, and the Church of Light has no enemies in this land.

All they had to do was to keep the infidels who tried to resist and station legions in the city, and those heretics would not attack the city.

The slightest sign of rebellion is purified in the name of the divine, as has been the case for all these years, and the city is covered in a curtain of rain.

"Is it still raining? This year's rainy season seems to be longer than usual, and it looks like the crops are going to grow better. ”

"No matter how well it grows, someone has to harvest it, and recently the church has started a new round of purification, and many villages have disappeared. ”

"The last time I went to the nearby village of Tag, I saw that there was no one in the fields at all, and all the villages were ...... Alas, it's so miserable!"

The inhabitants of the city sighed and sighed, and they had nothing else to do in such weather, and discussed with concern.

"Shhhh ”

"When I was a few years old before, Ghost City wasn't what it is now, I really don't know when this life will come to an end. ”

"Since the Church of Light entered the city, even life has become more and more difficult, they say that this is a test for us by the Goddess of Light, but it is just a pretext to exploit us, the former black-robed priests can always see them working in the fields, but what about the white robes?"

"Don't say it again, it's not easy to survive, but what's going on over there, it seems that people are being arrested again?"

While the residents were discussing, they saw a soldier in silver armor arresting a young girl in the heavy rain, and the girl struggled hard.

"I didn't commit any crimes, why are you arresting me, I still have a sick brother at home, please let me go back, please!"

The girl begged bitterly, but she only came out to buy a piece of bread for her sick brother, although the neighbors warned her that it was better not to hang out.

But she just wanted to do something for her seriously ill brother, and she insisted on going out, but she didn't expect to be targeted when she was going to buy bread and prepare to go back.

"Let you go? You heretic dare to haunt the streets, take her away in the name of the goddess of light, if you don't want to suffer, then be honest!"

The soldiers forcibly twisted her away, but her strength was too little to resist, and the bread fell to the ground.

The ground was full of mud, and the bread was soon covered with muddy water, and she desperately tried to pick it up, but she couldn't help it.

Dragged by the soldiers, she was soon taken away from the street, leaving only a dirty loaf of bread, which a wild dog ran over and sniffed lightly.

But he walked away tastelessly, and the residents of the city who had sheltered from the rain sighed when they saw this scene in the tavern.

"Are those guys starting to arrest people again on the charge of infidels? It's really hateful, they're getting more and more brazen. ”

"In the past few years, in addition to the need to hand in a little more offerings, as long as you are careful, you will not cause any trouble, but now you will be arrested if you are not careful, and you will even be careful when you go out, I really don't know when this kind of life will be the end, it is really helpless. ”

"That girl is innocent no matter how you look at it, and she sent it to that old thing at Boggs, what a bunch of out-and-out bastards. ”

"Boggs is the cardinal of the church, the supreme ruler of the city, dare to talk about him, you don't want to die, take care of yourself!"

Someone kindly reminded the open-mouthed guy, and everyone looked at each other, their eyes were gloomy, and there was no light at all.

At the same time, in the only palatial mansion in this decadent and depressed city, a diminutive old man in a red robe, with a face covered with pleats, was smashing a cup in anger, he looked to be sixty years old, and the material of his clothes was very expensive.

The mansion was brightly lit, and even in such a dreary day, there were still a lot of bright lights.

The source of the light is the crystal clear gemstones set in the crystal lamp, which are all valuable and require a lot of effort to collect.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough gems you have sent, are you trying to fool me with such defective products? Are you a little too bold? You are a provocation to the goddess of light, undoubtedly provocation, do you know the consequences?"

The old man shouted in a shrill voice, and a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman fell to his knees and shivered.

"Master Boggs, give me another chance, and I'll find you the biggest, brightest jewel in the world, I will!"

The merchant was in charge of collecting all kinds of gems for the noble cardinal, and at first he did please him.

But gradually, he was a little overwhelmed, and it became more and more difficult to meet the old man's vision, which put him under a lot of pressure.

"Hehe, hehe, okay, then I'll give you a chance, take him down to purify, if you are devout enough to the goddess of light, you will definitely be able to survive, right? ”

Boggs waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take the merchant down.

"No, no, no!"

The merchant's pupils dilated suddenly, and he screamed in despair, but this could not stop the soldier's movements, and in the screams, he was finally dragged down.
