Chapter 254: Gwen's Father's Invitation
The Light became Wintercover's primary faith, the most desired scenario for David.
If the natives of the Brennia continent did not believe in the Holy Light, but went to believe in those gods in the temple, he would feel a headache and even a little unsure of what to do?
Luckily, things didn't go that way, and Raines' missionary work in Winterfell was not going well, and the people of Winterfell had no interest in the Templar gods.
The reason is simple: the Holy Light can really help people with injuries, illnesses and other problems; The pastors of the Holy Light Church help people do everything they can without asking for anything in return.
What about the temple? I didn't see that missionary really help!
Because of this "philosophy of life" of the Holy Light Church, the Holy Light believers can always be recognized by people in the shortest possible time, and the Holy Light believers who do good deeds everywhere without asking for anything in return will also be regarded by many people as messengers of justice.
Along with it, David, who uses the Holy Light, also has a good reputation in Winterfell.
Maybe the new residents don't know what's going on with the Light? But the old men of Winterfell didn't think it was a hassle to popularize this information for these latecomers, and even enjoyed it, and added fuel and vinegar to them, saying to these latecomers, "It's right for you to come to Winterfell, you should have come a long time ago, I'll tell you...... Balabala, Balabala, Balabala......".
The newcomers may be a little skeptical at first, but when they get into trouble and go to the pastors of the Holy Light Church for help, the younger pastors do their best to help until the problem is resolved...... Or find someone who can help solve the problem.
In this situation, the Templar missionaries could not move an inch in Winterfell City, and Rains now had no idea what to do, and he kept wondering if the situation in Winterfell was special. Or is it not good for your own ability? Is it really that difficult to bring the favor of the gods to the north?
In this case, his mental state has not been very good, and as a result, he has been tricked by Vercox and others to obtain more information, including the so-called "Old Gods".
Listening to Van Cleve's report, David was surprised to find that the old gods named by the temple were actually the goddess of harvest, Leiluti, and the god of war, Sech.
"The Goddess of Harvest and the God of War are the Old Gods?"
"According to Welcox's information, that's true."
David touched his chin, the temple called the gods who helped humans overthrow the dark elf kingdom and make humans stand on the continent of Brennia as the old gods, and there was obvious hostility, that is to say, the many gods worshiped by the temple were not of the same faction as those two?
It seems that the situation behind the scenes on the human side is much more complicated than that of the dark elves?
Of course, it is also possible that these people behind the scenes are fighting each other, and the various races, including humans, are just pawns of the gods, and the ownership of these chess pieces does not always belong to a particular god?
"It's getting messed up, hey!"
David chuckled, not dwelling too much on the situation.
With his current strength, it seems that there is no need to entangle the factions and struggles between the gods, and he is not prepared to lure these chess players out early.
At present, his goal is still to the various races on the continent of Breonnia, continue to accumulate strength in the process of fighting against these pawns, and prepare for possible higher-level battles by the way.
Waving his hand slightly, signaling that Van Cleef could continue to do his own thing, David turned his chair and looked out the window, the sky outside had already appeared thick clouds, plunging the northern land, which was still a little light, into darkness early.
The lights in the office had already been turned on, and only when Van Cleve had left did Helen walk in and greet David for dinner.
"Didn't you rest today?"
"Don't underestimate my physical fitness, I've recovered." Helen looked ruddy and energetic, and her voice was a little higher than usual when she spoke.
Everyone could tell that she was in a good mood, especially the upturned corners of her mouth, as if she had been hooked by a hook.
"Especially if you've been there
After going down to town."
After the exercise and baptism of the dungeon, Helen's physical fitness has indeed improved a lot, and her temperament has also undergone some changes.
The original Helen was beautiful, delicate, and seemed to be a fragile piece of porcelain that needed to be cared for.
Helen is still beautiful now, but the fragility is much lighter, and as for the caring and loving temperament, it will only be displayed in front of David.
"Wait for the Sutton Stewart mission to leave, and then I'll take you to continue farming the dungeon." David originally wanted to clear the normal difficulty level in one go, but just in time for the mission to come to Winterfell and Princess Sophia, he had to put this plan aside for the time being.
Follow Helen to the dining room, and find Laura, Eva, and Gwen all sitting at the table, and the servants of Fort Glamorganberg have already set the food and are waiting for David, the hostess, to take a seat.
"What a crowd today! What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just that everyone is here, just having dinner together." When Laura saw David sit down, she picked up the knife and fork and began to enjoy the food in front of her: "It's not that many times you sit together for dinner like this, right?"
"The main thing is that Gwen can't stay here all the time." David glanced at Gwen and suddenly remembered the piece of leather from earlier, wondering what Gwen had done with it?
"That thing, you say? I asked Pierre for help making the equipment, but it won't take a few days to get it." Someone started talking, and Gwen's atmosphere was a little strange at the moment, but they still started talking: "I've learned something new with Vanessa in the past two days, and I suddenly realize that I still seem to have the talent to be an assassin."
"Are you learning to stealth?"
"yes!" Gwen performed directly for everyone, and everyone saw that Gwen sitting on the chair suddenly disappeared, although some outlines could be vaguely seen, but if you didn't look carefully, it seemed that there was really nothing there.
A moment later, Gwen's figure reappeared, smiling at everyone, as if waiting for their compliments.
"Awesome!"
Learning stealth comes with great risks, and it is said that when MI7 in Stormwind City trains intelligence officers to learn stealth, a large number of trainees will have accidents every year, such as entering the gap between shadow and reality and never being able to get out, or falling directly into another plane, etc.
But learning any occult knowledge is risky, and Gwen is learning well now, so there's no need to pour cold water on this situation.
In private, David was going to remind Gwen to pay a little attention, and now on this occasion, it would be over with a big boast.
And the topic that Gwen started made the originally somewhat strange atmosphere completely disappear, after all, the girls at the dinner table were not meeting for the first time, and they were working together in the dungeon to farm monsters before!
"It's good that I can only learn the priest's light spell." Eva said that after leaving the dungeon, she tried to learn something new, but unfortunately only the priest's Holy Light Mage learned it quickly, and she couldn't learn anything else.
Helen said that she didn't even have a beginner in the Holy Light, and she was having a headache now, what kind of power should she learn?
Hearing Helen's problem, Eva offered her own advice: "Holy Light, huh? If you can't learn, you can still ask David to help you."
Laura offered another option, if Helen wasn't interested in the Light: "Arcane is okay, I've heard that Sharon has been learning their fighting skills from the High Elf Spellbreakers brought by Sylvanas all this time."
For the people of Winterfell, the Light and Arcane Energy are by far the two easiest energies to master.
With the former increasing number of users of the Holy Light in Winterfell, the latecomers can not only learn and understand by themselves, but also find people they know to help instill the Holy Light.
As for the latter, since Pierre Newton arrived in Wintertown, the acquisition of arcane energy has become very simple, and the real difficulty has become "whether or not this energy can be mobilized".
As long as Helen can mobilize arcane energy, obtaining arcane energy is a simple matter.
In this case, the woman who is the Lord of Winterfall can come according to her preference
Make your selection.
In addition to Helen's hesitation about which power to choose, Gwen was also discussing similar topics with David, except that she didn't want to learn about power, but wanted to learn more combat skills.
After the battle in the dungeon, she found that what she lacked now was not some mysterious power, but a systematic learning how to fight.
"I was negligent!" David also ignored this, Gwen was originally just an ordinary high school student, how could she know how to fight?
In addition, Helen was in a similar situation, the two of them were able to perform well in the dungeon before, mainly with David and Laura to take care of them...... and the difficulty of the dungeon is relatively low at this time.
"What kind of skills do you want to learn?" Firearms? Dagger? Short blade? Sword?"
"I want to learn how to fight hand-to-hand." Gwen's reason is very good, in her own world, she can't just pull out a weapon at hand, some skirmishes are better solved empty-handed, and as for the use of weapons, of course she will also learn.
"Of course!"
"By the way, there's another thing."
"What?"
Gwen wanted to talk to David alone in private, but when she looked around, Helen was discussing the situation of various powers with Eva and Laura, and she shouldn't have noticed herself.
So she approached David's side and whispered an invitation to David: "Father noticed that I had a boyfriend, so he wanted to invite you to my house."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the surroundings had become very quiet, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw that the other women had stopped discussing and stared at himself and David in unison.
"Ahem~ I'll see if I'm free recently."
