Chapter 5: Pastor Anna

Rhodes pondered the rules of the game as he continued to explore the Tower of the Sun.

If nothing else, this Tower of the Sun should be the first "wonder" in the novice village, and maybe you can make some articles about it.

Just like the high-rise plot in the real world, players' love for "spectacle" is unimaginable.

In the future, you may be able to build a new Tower of the Sun as a spectacle!

Thinking of this, Rod suddenly saw a series of strange Sun Towers appearing like mushrooms after a rain.

......

There are many floors in the Tower of the Sun, but they are not wasted, and almost all of them are used to a considerable extent.

However, the higher the floor, the more it is used as a secret place.

From the 50th floor, things are different.

The Tower of the Sun is on the forty-ninth floor.

As soon as he arrived on this level, Rodton was surprised.

Because of this floor, the space is unusually large, and at a cursory glance, it is the size of a town in reality.

And it was such a small "town", in which Rhodes saw mountains, lakes, forests, beaches, and cities.

Of course, all this is unusually "pocket-sized", quite like the "Splendid China" of the previous life, moving the mountains and rivers of the outside world to one place.

Unlike the darkness outside, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, and the air is full of seductive fragrances.

A large number of tourists are scattered all over it, and it is peaceful and peaceful, enjoying the sunshine and rain.

[It's not that the nobles are drunk and dreaming of death...... Interesting! ]

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

This is not surprising in any world!

What really surprised Rhodes was that these people who enjoyed the sun and rain were clean, but they were all patched.

In this way, it can also be explained by the lack of resources.

But they all have rough skin, and at a glance they know that they are the kind of nobles who are used to doing work, not some kind of aristocrat who does not touch the spring water.

And one of them completely attracted Rhodes's attention.

Because, there is a woman who "stands out from the crowd"!

A beautiful person is beautiful even if he is dressed in a sack, although he does not have gorgeous clothes, but his own capital is enough to overwhelm everything.

With just one glance, Rhodes confirmed that she was of an extraordinary birth and well-educated.

The girl said solemnly to the people around herβ€”

"The 'city' you see now is Stio, the capital of our former homeland, the Kingdom of Wildero, which was once also known as the Steel City......"

"When Bruno, the first consul, came to power, he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of his predecessors and began to rule harsher and more repressively. But it was only a month before Bruno was guillotined......"

"The political situation is becoming more and more unstable in the future, and there is no one who has enough prestige and skill to suppress many careerists......"

"Secession, conquest, plunder, hunger, pestilence...... In a short period of time, the former royal capital has almost become a dead city......"

The girl's voice was sad and infectious, and the faces of the many people around her were also extremely solemn.

"In the following hundreds of years, it was even darker to the extreme, especially the glow of the Tower of the Sun decayed again and again, making everyone feel like the end of the world......"

"At that time, there were no real human beings, everyone was a beast in human skin...... Until the appearance of the Virgin Hilda......"

Speaking of the Holy Maiden Hilda, not only the girl, but also the surrounding audience were fanatical.

The following deeds must be familiar to everyone. Inspired by the slogan 'Live as a Person', more and more like-minded people began to gather behind the saint, and the Knights Templar was re-established ......"

"Under the conquest of the Knights, the cannibals were put to death, the land was taken into public ownership, and the statue of the great god was re-erected...... That's why we have the city of dawn! ”

With the girl's talk about the past, Rhodes suddenly realized why this apocalyptic city was in order, and even people's hearts were not lost.

It's not that there is no loss, but that after the loss, he awakened and regained the lost "human heart".

This reminds Rod of Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem", what human beings want to do is to give civilization to the years, not to give civilization years!

But it is clear that the price of regaining lost hearts and minds is heavy!

In the back, the girl sternly educated a few troublemakers, and several of them lowered their heads in frustration.

Seeing this, Rod couldn't help but laugh.

These people seem to be playing, but they are actually taking history and politics classes, and this girl who stands out from the crowd is a history teacher.

I have to say that this kind of education is really very clever.

In an era when sunlight is so scarce, the teachings under the sun will definitely make people memorable.

Accompanied by the girl's persuasion, one of them who had not spoken much all the time reported to the girl after a period of hesitation and entanglement.

It turned out that the core reason why they made trouble this time was that they listened to rumors.

Rumors spread that the Tower of the Sun in the City of Dawn was about to go out, and the Knights' top brass deliberately sent their relatives on expeditions again and again in order to reduce the population......

It's called an expedition, but it's actually to reduce the mouth of eating......

When everyone heard this, they were stunned and looked at the girl together.

The girl's body was stiff, and her eyes were a little moist.

After a few seconds.

The girl took a deep breath and said, "They are right, the brilliance of the Tower of the Sun has diminished again, and the grain production will inevitably decrease again...... Expeditions do have the meaning of reducing food consumption! ”

Everyone was stunned.

The girl's name is Anna, and her identity is the prayer priest of the Cathedral of Light.

Since the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Light by St. Hilda, the cathedral has had a high status in the capital of dawn.

No one would have imagined that they would hear such cruel words as "reduce consumption" from the lips of the cathedral priest.

What did the cathedral think of them?

Consumables?!

Anna looked at the people who were silent, but their hearts were like a volcano about to erupt, and said, "The Red Lotus Knight who led the team on this expedition is my own sister, and the Frost Knight who led the team a year ago is my own brother......

The crowd was stunned.

They really don't know about this!

A year ago, the Knight of Frost went out on an expedition, and only half of his arm returned.

But the dark core brought back by his comrades-in-arms added a batch of fuel to the Tower of the Sun, making the City of Dawn stable for half a year, and everyone missed him.

And this time Anna's sister led the team again......

Everyone immediately felt guilty and apologized to Anna.

Anna smiled, just like the blooming snow lotus.

"It doesn't have to be like this, no one can't die at dawn, my brothers and sisters are my blood relatives, and the other dead warriors are also other people's brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and children......"

Speaking of which, there is a blur.

A young girl wept, "Sister Anna, are we really hopeless?" ”

Anna stroked the girl's hair and said, "Yes, there will be, His Majesty the God King will definitely save us!" ”

"Liar, we've all been waiting for thousands of years!"

The crowd was desperate.

Anna crouched down, smiled and helped a toddler wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Don't give up, there will be hope after all." You are still young, now you just need to eat well and grow up quickly, and become an elven envoy as soon as possible, and then the city of dawn will depend on you to protect it! ”

Talking about the elf envoy, several children suddenly cheered up, chattering about the bright future after signing the elf, but a few older children showed a lot of doubts in their eyes.

As for a few adults, there was only numbness in their eyes.

[Sure enough, only children are carefree, and adults have long stopped believing in miracles!] ]

Seeing this, Rod couldn't help but sigh.

Come to think of it, in this world, the elven envoy is a cultivator.

If you want to become a practitioner, where is it so easy?

What's more, there has already been a problem with the path of the elven envoy!

Obviously, this seemingly peaceful city of dawn is not as calm as imagined.

Think about it, as long as the crisis of the Tower of the Sun failure is not resolved, it will be a matter of time before people's hearts are lost again.

Time passes.

For about an hour, the tourists who enjoy the sunshine and rain on this floor have changed groups.

And Anna once again took the trouble to tell everyone about the past, telling everyone over and over again that even if the City of Dawn inevitably fell, they also wanted to die as a human being.

"Dead as a human being?"

Rod was deeply moved.

Time passes.

When the last batch of "students" left, Anna could no longer control her emotions and quietly wept.

Obviously, she was not so open-minded about her brother's death and her sister's expedition.

I saw her hands clasped together, her fingers crossed and clenched, and she began to close her eyes and pray.

Immediately, Anna's prayer sounded in Rod's head.

"Your Majesty the God King, please bless my sister with all the best on this expedition!"

Not only her sister, but also many people Anna prayed for peace.

Every time she said a name, Rhodes felt that Anna was becoming more and more connected to him, and Anna was becoming brighter and brighter in his eyes.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely pure woman, worthy of her status as a priest!

At the same time, Rhodes also felt the power of faith transformed into pure divine power through the godhead.

Even the shattered kingdom of God has been nourished a little.

Is this the relationship between the gods and the believers?

Although the beliefs of believers are mixed, the transformation of the divine personality is the most suitable resource.

Rhodes rejoiced.

He also understood why he had just refined his godhead, and he had about 500,000 divine power reserves.

To save the world is to save yourself!

Thinking of this, Rodton felt full of motivation.

At this moment, Anna's second prayer rang out again.

"Your Majesty the God King, please protect your poor lambs, let me open the path of the stars smoothly, hang high in the sky, incarnate as the brightest star in the night sky, and extend the path of the elves......"

Rod was slightly stunned.

Anna wants to open the star path and become the stars of the sky?

How?

Rod's mind moved, his divine power burned, and the Book of Rules responded.

Then, a stream of information flooded into my mind.

Rhodes immediately understood the truth of Anna's opening of the star path - through a special transformation secret ritual, she sacrificed herself, and then her soul turned into a "star" above the sky.

It is said to be stars, but in essence, it is actually ...... Artificial elves!

As for the reason, it is because this newly born "elf" is more powerful and easier to make contracts with people.

And this is the workaround that the elves have found for the near-severance of the cultivation path!

Rhodes looked at Anna, and his gaze couldn't help but change.

In the past, her brother died in battle, and then her sister led the team to the battle, and now she has to sacrifice herself...... It's really full of loyalty!

Once again, Rhodes was sure he had to do something!
