Chapter 22: The God Who Went and Returned:

The Underworld is too dangerous for a crippled Dark Elf, even with the addition of four Goblin Priests.

Far from the remnants that have been in business for many years, access to food has become quite difficult. Water is easy to do, it can be made with magic, even if it is affected by the radiation of the leylines, it is not too difficult to upgrade the water creation technique from level 0 to level 2 spells. But food must be obtained from the outside world, the 5th level of the underground bread making technique, even before the renunciation of the faith caused the spell cultivation to fall, the god Lord Brissa can only use it once a day, and now she can only use the 4th order.

It is not easy to find food in the underground world, and you need to be on guard against the attacks of wild beasts and even monsters at all times, which is very difficult and dangerous to obtain. The main reason why Lord God was able to escape here from Faturi was because she knew how to make bread, and she really had to get it from the outside world, and she was afraid that she would have died thirty years ago.

There are two ways to do this, which are relatively easy.

One is stealing food from goblins. But the fluorescent wheat is stored very well, and the wheat field is relatively strictly guarded, not to mention that it cannot be eaten before it grows. God-sama, they can only steal some mushrooms and moss. These two things are okay as a supplement, but they are terrible when they are staple foods. The main reason is that the unit calorie is too low, even if you eat a stomach, you still can't top two steamed buns, as a staple food, you will be weak after eating for a long time, which is simply self-defeating in the underground world.

The second is to sneak near the exit of the ruins, where there is no leyline radiation, and you can use bread-making techniques to make food. In this way, it is possible to obtain nutritious bread, but it is not to mention the degree of danger.

It's even more dangerous at rest. They didn't carry much with them, and the goblin priest's eyes weren't sharp enough, and every time they rested, they felt like they were playing with their lives. Brissa, the goddess, couldn't imagine how she had persevered alone, for more than a year in a row, she had to be vigilant when she was resting, and she almost turned into food many times.

After a month and a half of hiding in fear, Brissa, the god, felt that it was not a problem to go on like this. Although some of the invaders left, the other part remained, and began to build, apparently trying to use the place as a long-term stronghold.

Either you make up your mind to leave, or you take refuge with the invaders, there is no other way.

If her determination to leave was so good, she wouldn't have been hiding around here for a month and a half. In fact, during this time, she was mainly observing whether the other party could accept it if she took refuge. The bitter lesson of the surface adventure will never be forgotten by her.

After a long period of observation and spell spying, Brissa discovered that the most feared of the invaders had left, and that it was a gnoll warrior who was now in charge.

For some reason, the invaders reorganized rather than outlawed her church. There are three main changes that are closely related to her: first, to declare that God is the "God of Truth" who never interferes with the church, and not to someone who may have been; second, to declare that the previous God, that is, Brisa, was originally the elect, but has been disqualified from the elect because of her vain claim to be God; and finally, the new church recognizes Brisa's contribution to the development of the church.

After thinking about it, Brissa decided to put on the hat of this former voter and go to Chengcheng. If the other side accepts, then slowly observe for the future, and if the other party wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, then fight to the death. She thought she was certain that she would kill the gnoll warrior in power, but it was hard to say if she would succeed in escaping. Anyway, she had enough of these days of worry.

"What, the former elector is back?" No. 8 Luken was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the former elector was referring to the god who had escaped, and the leaders of the regiment probably did not completely deny her in order to make it easier to receive the church. But didn't she run away a long time ago, why did she come back again, and she appeared so generously, what the hell was she trying to do.

"Yes, Captain. Would you like to receive it?" replied the goblin priest respectfully.

"Then invite her to church. Lucan took his fifteen goblin Knights of Truth with him to the "church". The so-called church is a large room that was previously occupied by kobolds, and in the middle of the ruins is supposed to be the hall used by the former lord to work and entertain guests. Because the sculptures and walls were well preserved and large enough, they were collected and used as churches. There, all people are to pray every day, that is, to gather together and shout doctrine.

"Dear Mr. Commander, I used to mistakenly think that I was the truth itself. But the prophet woke me up to the realization that I was only a mortal who had been favored by the God of truth and had learned part of the truth. Now, I want to recognize myself and continue to serve the church to clean up my past mistakes. Can you allow it?" Brissa's face was full of reverence.

Lucan thought for a moment before he replied, "The Church welcomes people like you. I don't know what level of your divine cultivation is now?"

Brissa also thought for a while before replying, "With the gift of the God of Truth, I can perform Level 4 Divine Arts. ”

"Then, you will temporarily serve as a priest in the future, teaching priests the arts, leading them to heal injuries and diseases, and cooperating with the restoration of the ruins. In addition, bread making is performed three times a day. No problem. Lucan made a decision.

"All for the truth!" said Brissa, solemnly.

The return to the ruins went smoothly beyond Brisa's expectations. She used to use bread making before, once a day, but now she has two more words, but she doesn't need to fight kobolds anymore, and it doesn't matter much.

Is he not afraid that I will seize power, or is he fearless? There is some truth in thinking so, he is probably only temporarily administering this place, and the real masters are the so-called voters. As long as he continues to be trusted by his constituents, he will not care if he is robbed of power, nor will he be robbed of power. In any case, it is still necessary to be more careful, observe slowly, plan before acting, whether it is a human or a gnolll, its lifespan cannot be compared to that of the dark elves. ’

The reason why Luken easily agreed to Brisa's return was simple, a great event had happened the other day - the entrance to the ruins had been buried by the Santyr Fort with boulders and sand, and it was impossible to dig it up.

This frightened Lucan, could it be that this place would become a lonely town in the future?!

Luken hurriedly sent someone to find Captain Mike, but it had been a month since they left, and how could they be found in the intricate underworld.

So Lucan began to think about the future.

With the current situation of not being able to get supplies, there will definitely not be enough food to eat, so we can only open up sources or reduce expenditure. Open source means going deeper into underground tunnels to get food, and throttling means slowing down or even suspending restoration work, or reducing or even eliminating the training of the Order. But none of these three options were good choices, and it was difficult for Lucan to decide for a while.

Now this Brissa took the initiative to vote, no matter what her intentions were, let her make food first, and then then say, it can also be used to balance the kobold boss whose loyalty is doubtful. As for what her intentions are, she has strong military power, and she can still make her turn the sky?

Waiting for the voters to come back and recruit Brisa by themselves is naturally a great achievement. During this period, she was able to rely on her to train pastors, which was another great achievement. With enough food and a powerful spellcaster, ruin restoration and knight training can be speeded up, adding to the great achievement. It's a triple win.

If there is a case that the voters can't come back, they can slowly subdue her, and there will be one more general under him, and there will be many places where she will be used in the future. In terms of territory construction, Lucan still lacks a lot of things, and the few "elites" appointed to assist him are only at the level of just capping the bottom of the bottle, and they need to learn from the well-informed dark elves.

Brissa now trains priests every day, heals injuries, repairs ruins, and helps manage the territory, much more attentively than she used to be when she was a god. She didn't expect that there would be such a day, and she would spend most of her energy on it every day.

On the one hand, Brisa felt that it was enough for her place to live, and the goblins could have food and shelter, so she didn't make a lot of effort.

On the other hand, there is too much stress caused by kobolds. They began with about 200 people, and later grew to more than 400 people, and they always occupied the room that led to the cave, and there was plenty of food. Constantly attacking the goblins, Brisa is tired of defending. It wasn't until recent years that the strength of the silver dragon had increased, and the number of goblins had also come up, so that they could gradually launch a counteroffensive.

As a result, as soon as the invaders came, the kobolds, who had always been strong, turned out to be honest because of a dragon. Brissa hated it when she thought about it, and if the kobold was willing to surrender to her early, it was still uncertain whether the invaders would be able to get in. The dragon egg he brought when he escaped from Faturi hatched a silver dragon, and it didn't make the kobold's attitude change, just change the red dragon.

Now, the voters said they wanted to restore the ruins, and Lucan was ordered to restore them. Luken said that the ruins would be restored, and Brissa was ordered to restore them.

Brissa had discovered that Lucan was not the poor-willed slave soldier she had imagined, immobilized by a human being. It is a magic warrior with high strength, who can also cast buff spells, and has a good will to cultivate both magic and martial arts, which is by no means something that the one-armed Brisa can deal with. Not to mention that there is also an old rival, the kobold, and the big leader is fighting for the tiger. To be able to subdue such a strong person, the strength of the "voters" can be imagined. Brisa can only temporarily dispel superfluous thoughts and clamp her tail to be a person, and other things will not be too late to think about when she understands enough.

According to Brisa's plan, the best case scenario is that the "voters" will not return, and she has subdued Lucan and the kobolds, and her strength is several times stronger than before. The next best case scenario is that the "electorate" returns, but has to go somewhere else - and that's how Lucan judged - and she subdues Lucan and the kobolds, and it's good. The worst-case scenario is that the "voters" don't leave when they come back, so they have to talk about it slowly, at least it's better than her wandering alone.

However, Luken is willing to listen to orders under Mike and others, but it does not mean that he is willing to listen to orders under Brisa. Neither the two are in the same order of magnitude in terms of personal strength or the forces they can mobilize. He felt that Brissa was almost as good as obeying orders under him, and that this kind of thing was subdued by "talents", which Luken had done when he was a bandit leader before, and he thought that now that he had greatly increased his strength, he was still more sure of recovering Brisa. What's more, he really wanted to taste what the dark elves were like.
