Chapter 7: The Apostles of the Old Gods

In the god simulator, there is no detailed description of this pixel world, nor does it give all the maps and various data, and players as gods have to explore step by step.

The last time the black bear attacked the tribe, Lu Yao really thought it was a beast attack. It was only after the Prophet examined the corpse that he recognized his true identity as a demon believer.

In a way, Lu Yao doesn't know more than these pixel villains.

He just has the identity of a "player" that the pixel people can't understand, a bit like an alien god who has descended into the pixel world.

Alien Gods......

Lu Yao immediately thought of it.

Since there are alien gods like themselves, it is likely that there are also local gods in the pixel world.

He looked at the [Energy Cane] in his hand, and the [Cactus Follower] sleeping in a small flower pot on the side, both of which originally belonged to the god of the forest. And the temple shows that the god of the forest has fallen, so these treasures in his possession will be lost.

Is a god like the god of the forest the old god?

It's a pity that no one can answer him this question.

Lu Yao thought about it for a moment and made a decision.

Change!

Although wheat is precious, it is difficult for the garlic tribes, allied with the forest tribes, to monopolize this grain. Rather than being prostituted for nothing, it is better to make an open deal now.

Lu Yao clicked [yes].

A light bulb lit up on the Prophet's head.

"God, your servant knows what to do."

He immediately started a private chat with the shaman next to him.

The leaders of the two tribes quickly reached an agreement, and the pixelated little people of the forest tribe had smiling faces on their heads.

"The shaman got the wheat!"

"God Yao has given the tribe food!"

"Great, don't be afraid of winter!"

"Great Yao God, Wise Shaman!"

Then, the little people of the forest tribe carried a sarcophagus out of the forest. They carried the sarcophagus all the way to the temple of the Garlic Tribe, and then the people of the Garlic tribe sent it to the temple.

There was suddenly a gray sarcophagus icon in the temple interface, named [Apostle].

Lu Yao clicked [Apostle].

A vertical painting appears on the screen. In the picture, in the gray coffin lies a woman whose eyes are blindfolded by a black cloth.

There were tiny cracks on her cheeks, and her body seemed to be sealed in plaster, and the gray rock shell almost fused with the sarcophagus. If it weren't for the soft girl's face, it would be no different from a stone sculpture.

……

[Apostle]: Near-death.

Apostle of the god of the forest. The apostles carried out the will and commands of the gods, listened to the voices of the gods, and were the carriers of the gods' coming to the world.

……

As described above, the Apostle appears to be a unit that the god player can directly control?

It wasn't easy to wake her up, though.

Lu Yao clicked [Apostle] and got a prompt.

- Reviving it as an apostle in your temple costs a lot of faith power. Do you need to spend 500 Faith Points to convert Apostles?

According to the miracle faith consumption, one lightning 20 faith, which is equivalent to 25 lightning bolts for this apostle. With this magnitude of faith expenses, he simply can't support it at the moment.

Lu Yao could only put aside the apostle's affairs for the time being and continue to work on the basic plate of development.

He pondered that the dying apostle was still a subordinate of the god of the forest.

Considering that the [Energy Cane] was dug out of the forest by the prophet before, the [Cactus Follower] sent by the forest tribe was also from the temple of the god of the forest, and the dying apostles were dug up from the ground. It seems that this forest has some kind of relationship with the god of the forest.

It's a pity that you can't talk to the pixel villain, and there is no option to ask questions, so you can't find clues.

Lu Yao turned his attention back to the construction of the tribe.

He transferred one of the pigfish brothers to the river, and the other to the forest. One of them was a fisherman and the other was a hunter, and this is a show of their strengths.

Soon the two heroes gave feedback.

"Places in the river where there are a lot of fish are in deep water and boats are needed. The tribe needs to build boats in order to fish. ”

"Medicinal herbs were found in the forest, with animal chewing marks and blood stains, but they were unrecognizable. A pharmacist is required to identify it. ”

Resources exist, but there is a lack of professionals who can identify and use them.

Lu Yao knew that this was not in a hurry, so he relaxed and watched.

He found two frozen corn in the frozen, cooked them in a pot for dinner.

Nibbling on the hot soft glutinous corn, Lu Yao watched the tribal villains busy with each other, as if he had returned to the simple happiness of watching the ants on the ground when he was a child, but it was not fun.

Soon, snow began to fall in the pixel world, and winter came.

Except for the two heroes of the Pigfish Brothers, the pixel villains who went out of the garlic tribe came back one after another, and everyone hid in the house to keep warm. During the short day, they gathered branches from the trees to use as firewood and cleared the snow around the temple and farmland.

Fortunately, wheat was planted very early, and the harvest provided a lot of food for the tribe. In the face of the cold winter, pixel villains are not afraid at all.

"We have wheat, we have enough food, and we have warmth at home."

"Wheat, the power of wheat!"

"Winter looks like it's going to be long, but thanks to the gods' gifts of wheat and garlic, no one should freeze to death this winter."

The pixel villains in the tribe have happy emojis on top of their heads.

At this time, the forest tribe suddenly came to visit.

Unlike in the past, this time it was a visit led by a shaman of high status. The Prophet greeted them and lit a bonfire between the snowdrifts to keep warm with the visiting allies.

An anxious emoji appears above the shaman's head.

"Friends of the garlic tribe, we have encountered unsolvable difficulties, and I beg for your help."

"Twenty hunters of the forest tribe, who are also the best hunters in the tribe, go into the depths of the forest for one last hunt to prepare for the winter. Heavy snow that slipped down the mountains buried them in the northern part of the forest, and we couldn't find them. ”

"Only the power of the gods can save them."

"I ask the all-powerful god Yao in the temple to have mercy on these hunters for food and give them protection. If we can help these people survive, we will build shrines in the tribe, worship the god Yao, and offer sacrifices and the loyalty of our tribe. ”

An exclamation point popped up above the Prophet's head.

He said, "Since you want to ask the gods for their blessings, go to the temple and worship the god Yao, for only the most sincere and honest requests can you receive the mercy and gifts of the gods." ”

So the shaman took the tribesmen and worshipped around the temple.

Lu Yao pondered for a moment.

According to the shaman, if these people can be found, a shrine can be built in the forest tribe as well. This is equivalent to being able to bestow on two tribes at the same time, wouldn't it be possible to receive the sacrifices of both tribes?

But what will be done to save these hunters who are stuck in the snow?

Lu Yao thought of the [scorching sun] in the miracle.

This miracle, which costs 25 points of faith, unfolds and should be able to melt the snow.

He selects [Scorching Sun], expands as much as possible in the northernmost area of the forest that can be touched in the game interface, and then clicks the mouse.

A brilliant golden light appeared over the northern part of the forest, and the thick white snow in the forest quickly dissipated, revealing many small people who fell to the ground and shivered.

An exclamation point erupted above the bowing shaman's head.

"Great God, the forest tribe is sincerely grateful for your kindness, and we are convinced of your might, and we immediately build a shrine to worship you!"

Then the shaman sent a group of villains to quickly advance towards the northern part of the snow-melted forest. Soon they were able to find the missing hunters.

As the shaman promised, the forest tribe also built a shrine. The temple is made of wood and resembles the white temple.

To Lu Yao's disappointment, there was no change in the interface of the temple, and his plan to double his gifts and sacrifices did not come true.

But there are gains.

[Your miracle has turned the attitude of the forest tribe into worship.] 】

[Because of the worship of the same gods, the forest tribe is merging with the garlic tribe.] 】

Lu Yao's spirits perked.

If you can merge more than a hundred people from the forest tribe, it will definitely be a huge improvement.

That's more than 100 faith points!

Population increase also expands the boundaries of temple radiation, with more manpower and more random events triggered.

The current consumption of faith is exchanged for long-term sustained gains.

Win!
