Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ghost Faith Is Faith
Lu Yao stopped his perspective over Sanilo City.
The ghost town's infrastructure is feudal times: the ground is paved with stone slabs, the houses are made of a mixture of wood and stone, the ground is edged with gutters and flower beds, and even street trees.
The inhabitants of Sanilo are ghosts, and unlike normal pixel figurines, their bodies are translucent, like an enlarged version of the gray figurines on the heads of the previous barbarian tribes. Another feature of the ghost inhabitants is that they have rank symbols on their heads.
The vast majority of ghost inhabitants are between LV1 and LV5.
Soldiers are all in the LV5-LV10 range. Dressed in chain mail, bronze helmets, and armed with spears, these ghost villains are dressed in a very different way from ordinary citizens, and are real professional soldiers.
The soldier is led by a Commander named Alex. He is as high as LV12, wears a silver half-length armor, and is armed with a shield and a one-handed sword.
All ghosts have one ability: [Evasion].
β¦β¦
[Circumvention]
Can dodge damage from some attacks. This probability is higher than that of one's own weak life.
β¦β¦
Sandworms also have this ability.
This ability is a crushing for ordinary people.
Pixel-Villain ghosts have rank marks on their heads, representing their level beyond the average person. In other words, every ghost has the strength of a hero or a monster.
The city of tens of thousands of ghosts is a nightmarish force to the surrounding tribal civilizations.
But who called buddies apostles?
Lu Yao looked at Isabel, who was surrounded by Mayor Chapman and Commander Alex.
Single-handedly penetrating the defenses of Sanile City is the charm of Isabel.
Mayor Chapman poured bitter water.
"Due to the presence of the god totem, the flame of faith of the other gods cannot be ignited here."
"It's also because of the influence of the totem that Saniro's ghosts can't leave, and foreign ghosts can't come in, but some monsters can come here to destroy and kill."
"The sandworms in the desert sometimes attack the city, and it is very difficult for us to fend them off every time."
"There are also sea monsters in the sea, and sometimes they attack the harbor as well."
"Over the years, the number of ghosts in the city has been decreasing, and if this continues, the city of Sanilo will eventually come to an end."
Commander Alex also said: "The soldiers in the city are constantly attrition, and now there are only 58 soldiers. The defenses continue to weaken, and although I have been training ordinary citizens to become soldiers, it has not worked very well. β
ββ¦β¦β
Isabel was silent for a moment: "That is to say, the key to Sanilo's curse is the god totem." As long as the totem is gone, the city is no longer bound by faith and demographics. β
"You're right."
Mayor Chapman immediately pleaded: "But manpower can't destroy the totem of the gods, it is the mark left by the gods, even if the statue carrier is destroyed, the mark will still remain." β
"Only the gods can fight the gods."
"Sanilo has always hoped that a god would come and save our city. We are willing to offer all of our faith as we have served the gods of the forest in the past, and to proclaim the blessings and names of the gods wherever we have been. β
Isabel looked at the screen and got down on one knee.
A dialog box appeared above her head that only Lu Yao could see.
"My lord, do you want to accept Saniro's soul?"
- Can ghosts provide faith?
"Yes."
Isabel said, "Everything in the world, as long as it has a spirit or wisdom, has the power of faith." β
So what else is there to say?
I want the whole city!
Lu Yao set his sights on the square of Saniro City.
The square is the heart of the city, where all the streets converge. The circular square is guarded by buildings resembling a town hall and a watchtower, and in the center of the square stands a blue sculpture.
Lu Yao took a closer look.
Yo, is this an old acquaintance praying to the god totem?
Anyway, I have already thundered one in the Donghe tribe, and there is no psychological burden to demolish the second one.
Lu Yao pointed out the lightning in the [Miracle] and began to shoot at the totem.
Thunder fell from the sky and disappeared as it approached the city.
[Because of the blessing of the gods and totems, your miracle cannot take effect.] γ
The defense of the totem did not surprise Lu Yao, what surprised him was that this time he split ten [lightning] shots, and the totem actually only had some cracks, and it was still standing.
He realized that totems might also have hierarchies.
The totems here are much stronger than those of the Donghe tribe.
Lu Yao glanced at the upper right corner.
Population: 401 Faith: 522
Faith ammunition is still there.
Isabel watched from the side, and the ghosts of Sanilo City also watched, and the face of his god was still very important. At best, it is about the majesty of the future, and the strength of the ghost's faith.
Since it's all on this, it must be won all at once.
Lu Yao clicked [lightning] for a while.
Only then did he realize that a number appeared behind the lightning.
It turns out that it is possible to select the amount of [Lightning] at onceβor the intensity.
Lu Yao was directly full.
γLightningγΓ25!
He locks the selected range to the top of the totem and clicks the mouse.
The air of the pixel world lit up with a flickering blue arc of light, and these blue lights converged into a thunder pillar in the air, blasting down on the head of the Prayer God Totem!
This time it went well. The totem was instantly electrocuted into fly ash, and there was a large scorched black area at the location of the sculpture.
As the totem was shattered, the inhabitants of the entire city of Saniro cheered.
"The curse is gone!"
"Long live Yaoshen!"
"We have a new god!"
"Saniro is free!"
"Praise Yaoshen! Great Yaoshen! β
β¦β¦
Mayor Chapman also has a smiley face symbol on the top of his head.
He told Isabel: "On behalf of all the citizens of Saniro, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the gods for their mercy and forgiveness, and we in Saniro will henceforth believe in the god Yao and offer our faith and loyalty. β
Commander Alex also knelt on one knee: "Loyal to the god Yao!" β
The soldiers behind him followed his example and knelt down to show their allegiance.
"Loyal to Yaoshen!"
"Loyal to Yaoshen!"
Lu Yao's eyes were staring at the upper right corner of the game interface at this time.
Faith remained motionless and remained at 22 points.
He muttered to himself.
No way? Have you been fooled?
Just as he was apprehensive, his faith value suddenly soared instantly!
Faith jumped directly from 22 to 10,754!
Lu Yao couldn't help but punch hard!
Became brothers!
That's the fast-paced gameplay of God Simulator. Look for groups with large populations everywhere, regardless of whether they are human or not, in short, if they have faith, they can be included in the command, which is called expanding the audience and external demand.
Recovering a little from the joy of getting rich overnight, Lu Yao noticed that the population next to the faith had also soared.
Population: 11,133 Faith: 10,754
Ghosts do have faith, and they are believers.
Lu Yao moved the mouse to the population column.
A detailed list emerges below for the first time.
Ghosts make up the vast majority of the population, and the living have instead become a minority.
However, the next question also comes.
What to do with Saniro?
Mayor Chapman sent a request to Isabel: "Lord Apostle, the inhabitants of Saniro are ghosts, and ordinary people cannot see ghosts. Ghosts can only be seen by ghosts, or other special and extraordinary beings. β
"Normal urban development may no longer be suitable for Saniro."
"But ghosts also have the benefits of ghosts."
"We don't need food, we don't need rest, we have a long life. The greater the number of ghosts in Saniro, the greater the power of all will become...... It can also give birth to higher-level ghost individuals. β
"There are often accidents on the sea, so there are many dead souls. We want to connect them to Saniro, so that we can not only grow more followers for the gods, but also expand the city even further. β
This proposal was strongly affirmed and praised by Lu Yao.
There's something about this mayor named Chapman.
In the pixel world, population is the primary productive force!
Lu Yao gave his own advice through Isabel.
- It is recommended to search in the desert, there should be a lot of ghosts there. And along the desert all the way to the north, there are also dead spirits around the garlic tribe and in the forest.
Mayor Chapman saw that his opinion was affirmed, and a smiley face appeared above his head: "Okay, okay, we'll send soldiers over to pick up these ghosts later." β
In Lu Yao's mind, he had a plan for the future development of the ghost city of Saniro.
As the saying goes, the old way for the old man, the new way for the newcomer.
The dead of the Garlic Tribe and the surrounding tribes, the ghosts enter Saniro and continue to shine, contributing faith and building the world in another way after death.
Whether the ghost is strong or not is also directly related to the number of groups, which is a win-win.
Perfect.
