The Storm Rises Chapter Eighty-Eight Why Faith

Wang Yu's small stronghold wooden house is still the same as before, located at the end of No. 7 Black Street, with a cliff below, but not only the stronghold hut has been completely renovated except that the size has not changed, but the bigger change comes from the cliff.

There are all kinds of races that Wang Yu has not seen anywhere other than in books, elves, dark elves, kobolds, dwarves, etc., and even a vampire.

Wang Yu blinked, if he was not mistaken, the handsome man in a dark evening dress flapping the bat's wings should be a vampire, but what he was doing now had nothing to do with the elegant Night Clan.

A handsome man with a pale face was handing a very thick piece of work-shaped metal to the strong orc who was hammering steel nails on the cliff and laying tracks on it, and this orc Wang Yu looked familiar, Emon?

It's the same thing, I entrusted them to help build the alchemy workshop before.

"When did we have so many aliens here, Christian?" Wang Yu asked with some hesitation about the Lady of the Night, who was sitting on the chair at the door of the stronghold hut like before he left, and swayed gently.

"Ah, they came after they saw your board, and after I paid them for it, they naturally believed in me, not many humans came, but many of them were aliens, but you didn't reject them on that sign, did you?"

"That's for sure, as long as it's an intelligent race, it's fine, can you accept their beliefs? It's okay if you can, but rather, these different races are more suitable for us to build church houses and other things than ordinary humans. ”

Wang Yu really never thought about racial discrimination or anything like that, it's not that he is morally noble or anything like that, but actually because he is an earthling.

He doesn't have some inherent prejudices in this world, the environment affects people, and Wang Yu will naturally not have that kind of discrimination and perception if he is not affected by this big environment.

"Come, Nomian, Kaeya, and salute your Excellency the Archbishop." Wang Yu was still thinking about why so many people suddenly came to the church, and Huo Luo's voice came from behind him.

Turning his head, Wang Yu saw Huo Luo standing behind him with some apologetic smiles, and behind Huo Luo stood two children of the Dark Elf Clan, a man and a woman, who were holding their grandfather's legs at this time, showing their two heads and looking at Wang Yu with a timid expression.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but they're a little scared." Huo Luo apologized to Wang Yu, and then gently pushed the two little guys of the dark elf clan, the two little guys have the cuteness and agility of the elf clan, and they gave Wang Yu a human universal salute very jerky.

However, Wang Yu doesn't like children very much, and he is not very good at dealing with this kind of scene, so after thinking about it, he used the ripples to send some strength to poke the Charles next to him, and gave the Charles who came over a look.

I don't know how this guy understands, but he understands, he took out a tarot card from his pocket, and with a snap, a bright golden butterfly floated out of it, attracting the attention of the two little guys.

After talking to Holo, Charles took the two little ones away with the excuse of letting the two children take him around.

"Is that your friend, Your Excellency?" Holo asked.

"Yes, my good friend."

"Ah, you can feel some of nature's affection for him, he's a nice guy, right?"

"It's... Right? After thinking about Charles's various reliable and unreliable behaviors, Wang Yu carefully compared them and thought that there were more times when they were still reliable.

That was the end of Charles' conversation, and Horo continued to talk to Wang Yu about how he had joined the Night Church that he hadn't finished talking about before.

The first problem that the Holo family had to face when they accidentally entered the shadow of the royal city was food, and without money and nothing that humans considered valuable, it was difficult for the Holo family to get food from this chaotic and profit-oriented underground city.

Luckily, as a druid, Holo could easily make edible plants outside of the Corruption, and around the underground rivers, he used some of the plant seeds he carried with him and the mushrooms native to the area to keep his family from starving.

But that's not enough, the greed and chaos of this underground city isn't just for humans, and the dark elves have a bad reputation, but they don't differ from the color of their skin and the appearance of the elves.

Elf women and even men are very sought-after items in some special markets.

Compared to the elves who are strong in their own right and generally have someone behind them, the dark elves, a race that does not have a good reputation and are not very strong, are more popular in these markets.

Not surprisingly, some gang that accidentally brought the Hollo family to the city was discovered, and the greed of these gangs undoubtedly led them to target the Hollo family.

Facing arrest again, Holo had to flee and hide with his family just like he did with those mad nature god believers.

The chaos within the city is actually a good way to evade capture, and entering a chaotic place can also disrupt those captors, however, this is limited to humans.

This is not a good way for the aliens, who have a hard time fitting into the realm of humans as the main body of the city, and wherever they go, they are generally wary and wary.

The weak will only avoid them when facing them, and the powerful people will only have greed and covetousness after discovering these alien races, not that there are no good people in this city, but in this chaotic city, the chance of meeting these good people is too small.

However, it just so happened that Horo was one such lucky man, and he met a good man, or rather, a god of goodness...

One day, in order to lure away the pursuers, Holo chooses to let his family hide, and he turns into a panther and walks through the lanes and streets, hiding from the gang members who are chasing him.

However, the druids, who were far from being familiar with the city's structure as the gang members, could not escape the fate of being chased and intercepted by the siege, even if they had the form of a panther who was much more agile than them.

Step by step, step by step, the body of the black panther was also shot by several poisoned arrows, the poison drained the druid's power little by little, and in front of him was the end of Black Street No. 7, a cliff with no way out.

Feeling that his body had lost the ability to continue his escape, the druid finally chose to lie in front of a small house at the end of the street, calmly closing his eyes and waiting for his fate.

He will use the sharp claws and teeth of the panther to take away the first gang member who comes up to capture him.

After waiting for a long time, until the toxin was expelled by the panther's strong body, Holo did not perceive even a single gang member.

Looking up suspiciously, Holo saw the calm, deep eyes of the Night Lady incarnate.

"Are you okay? I've helped you hide your existence, and those who chase you can't find you, so do you want to believe in the Night Lady? My name is Daknis, the Holy Daughter of the Church. Hollow was still stunned, and the Night Lady introduced herself.

"This is our church, the Night Church, this is the holy scripture, written by my archbishop Wang Yu, and this is the recruitment content, if you are interested, you can also come to work, well, this board does not say that the dark elves are not allowed to come, then it is okay."

The Night Lady's solicitation of the first congregation cannot be said to be a mess, it can only be said to be inexplicable, but Holo, who has experienced too many hardships, was deeply touched by the calm and unwavering but irrefutable sincere words of the Night Lady.

In particular, he was invited to believe in the words of the gods again, and as an apostate of the god of nature, he himself never had the courage to believe in other gods again, and this was the first time that he was invited to believe in other gods.

"I... I'm an apostate, can I join too? Holo's voice trembled.

"Apostate, have you ever done the evil things mentioned above, one or two things are fine, and it is indeed not good to go too far." The Night Lady gave Huo Luo the book compiled by Wang Yu, which was roughly to promote truth, goodness, and beauty, plus some divine chatter.

Holo dragged his tired body in human form and looked at it, realizing that what he had done had no connection with any of the evil deeds in the holy text.

At the same time, the state of mind shown in this book also shocked the elf druid, and the kind of inclusive breadth displayed in it was completely different from the natural scriptures that Holo read almost entirely in praise of the god of nature.

Holo nodded hesitantly.

"Then no problem, are you interested in believing in the Night Lady?" The Night Lady nodded, and the druids were completely unaware that the Lady who called herself Daknis was the Night Lady herself.

"I wonder why there are so few words of praise for the Night Lady in the canon of the Lady of the Night."

Yes, Wang Yu's canon has a huge loophole when he thinks it's good, although this book learns some praises from the Church of Light, but most of them are precautions and calls for believers to do, and there are very few things about praising the Night Lady...

Maybe it's something like "people are doing it, and the night lady is watching".

This is not a problem in the eyes of the Night Lady and Wang Yu, but in the eyes of other people in this world and even believers in other churches, it is very, very outrageous.

"The Night Lady doesn't care about that, he probably just thinks that the believers can live well, and then the believers can remember their gods."

Daknis said that, or rather, the Night Lady herself said this, which may be what the god really thought.

"Yes, is that so? Let me believe in the great god of the Night Lady, and I will swear my faith and follow His holy scriptures. ”

The shock lingered in Hollo's heart for a long time, as a former believer in the god of nature, he knew that the position of the gods among the believers had always been supreme.

And the gods like this lady said, he has never seen them in his knowledge, even the most peculiar Cult of Light, and the Night Church is fundamentally different, if you use Wang Yu's words, one is people-oriented, and the other is God-oriented.

"You're welcome to join us." The Night Lady pulled Hollo up, a little darkness twitched in her eyes, he was a god, he could naturally see if Hollow was lying or malicious or something, very happy, this cultist had no dissent.

"Hats off to you, honorable saint, I am honored to bathe in the Night Lady's... In the dark. ”

The memories of those years when he was a believer in the Church of the God of Nature were brought back up, and those rituals were still engraved in his bones, and he wanted to say glory, but when he thought of the characteristics of the Night Lady, he cleverly changed his words.

"I'm glad the Goddess has her new followers, by the way, ask again, would you be interested in helping here, it's the reward." Daknis, also known as the goddess herself, responds to Holo's salute and asks again if Holo wants to work.

Holo turned his head to look at the request on the board, and then, once again, he was stunned, which was almost unimaginable for him.

In the Shadow of the Royal City, you don't have a certain ability or power to actually get money from others, it's impossible, it's good to work for others and have a bite to eat, more often than not, you are forced to do it by a knife against your back.

And the treatment that Wang Yu left on this board also refreshed Huo Luo's cognition again, and he also understood it even more, the goddess that Daknis said was just hoping that his believers could live well.

"So kind, so fraternity...", Holo muttered in his heart, recognition and admiration were born unconsciously, and the spiritual power slowly turned into a weak power of faith, forming between him and the Night Lady.

"I do! And can my family come too? ”

"Of course."

……

"I see." Wang Yu touched his chin, and after listening to Huo Luo's story, he finally knew how there were so many aliens in the Night Church, in the shadow of the royal city, these guys are living too badly, there is no discrimination, and it seems that it is only natural to have an existence that can shelter them, and faith.

For example, the vampire, this unlucky guy was turned into a blood clan by a passing vampire baron because of his young and handsome appearance, and then the baron was killed by the paladin of the Church of Light for some reason.

And this unlucky guy has been hiding in Tibet to guard against the vampire hunters who are going to kill him indiscriminately and get a bounty, until he happens to meet the night church believers who come to preach, and he has no choice, so he joins, and ushers in a new life.

"Well, that's good." Wang Yu nodded, the situation here surprised him even more than the picture that the Lady of the Night passed to him, thriving, thriving, every alien race here is full of hope, not so perfect, but at least good, maybe this is the meaning of faith.

What do those righteous gods think? Sometimes their churches are doing the wrong thing, why don't they react, are they bound by the chains of faith, or are the people who really fabricate their beliefs and use them to rule and profit, but the so-called "believers".

Wang Yu didn't know, but he knew what really attracted believers to the Night Church.
