Natalie quickly made her way to the ruins of the inner city, shrouded in the strange purple glow of the Astral Creation, where Old Eugene and Marianne had set up two tents, and Grandma Jules had returned to the camp outside the city.

As the medical commander of the Crimson Keep and the administrator of faith affairs, Mama Jules has a busy day, and she is in dire need of her own parishioners to be her assistants.

Even the fastidious old Eugene couldn't fault this sincere believer, and gratefully accepted Mama Jules' request to clear the surrounding astral shadows.

"Here."

Natalie carried the Great Oak Blade into the area designated as the Avalon Sanctuary.

As she stepped inside, a sense of something different rose through her mind, like the tranquility of the tree-lined temple district when she was training on the island of Gramo as a young man.

That's the unique feeling that the eyes of the god Avalon bring to believers.

But as if there was an invisible line separating the surroundings, this area of peace of mind was confined to the piece of land that Murphy had assigned to the Avalon Sanctuary, and once the boundary was crossed even a step, the attention would disappear.

This unique phenomenon immediately made Natalie's mind full of thoughts.

"The gift of my God only exists here and stops there, Marianne and I have tried it again and again, and only here can we feel the gaze and comfort of my God."

Old Eugene, who was carrying a hunting sword but wearing only a sackcloth priest's robe, saw Natalie's arrival, and the sincere believer immediately stepped forward to salute, and said with a little regret:

"It's impossible to determine what caused this, but it's a perfect start, and once the Avalon Sanctuary is here, perhaps the power of my god will spread."

"No, probably not."

Natalie glanced thoughtfully at the spiral staircase leading to the Vulture Corridor in the distance, and she whispered:

"Maybe it's because the god Avalon has made some kind of agreement with the lords of this place? Perhaps my god has bound his power to this holy place as a gesture of kindness or expectation? It's like a pair of divine eyes are placed here.

He wanted to patiently and calmly observe how the city and the land would change in the future. ”

"How could my god come to a deal with vampires? You don't have a point! That's a vampire! That's the Eternal Son of Sin! ”

Eugene Sr. was very unhappy with Natalie's speculation, but Natalie then shook her head and said:

"No, Murphy is not like other vampires, and my father agrees with that, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Murphy to accept us when he was dying. Maybe my father got some kind of revelation from the gods?

As you know, my father was the only human believer in the decade who still had limited contact with the god Avalon. But that's not what we're supposed to talk about now, Master Eugene. ”

Natalie took the initiative to close the topic.

She informed the master witch hunter of her conversation with Murphy on the road, and said to him:

"I came here in advance, in addition to confirming my miracles, and I have important matters to discuss with you and Mama Marianne about where to place our people."

"Won't you send them to the Crimson Keep?"

Dressed in a linen robe and covering her hair with a scarf, Lady Marianne, who seemed to have "transitioned" from a seasoned silver hunter to a nun, appeared behind Natalie with a basket of freshly picked berries.

She said:

"I've just walked around the outer city, where a massive cleanup is underway in preparation for reconstruction, and I can see that Lord Murphy has a plan for his city, and unfortunately even when I walk on the ground, I can feel the terrible aura coming from the sewer area of the city.

A ghoul lair and wraith's crypt that I can all feel terrified on a scale is forming. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Natalie sat on a stake, picked up the berries and threw them into her mouth, and said to the two master witch hunters:

"I don't really mind our compatriots investing in the rebuilding of the city and cleaning up the sewers, but what they need most now is to recuperate, and the environment around the Crimson Keep is hardly providing them with a safe and relaxing atmosphere.

In addition, they also know that we have been fighting for ten years, and it will take time for us to adjust to a peaceful life and avoid excessive conflict with the locals.

So my idea is that maybe we can settle our compatriots in the villages around the Crimson Keep.

For example, the village of Morland that I mentioned to you, there is also a medium-sized ghoul lair that has been sealed off, and it is the work of our fallen companions, and we owe it to the land to deal with that crisis.

The village, located near the trade routes of Translasia, could accommodate at least 300 people if well rested, and could even accommodate all of its compatriots if expanded.

On top of that, there is a large woodland near the village of Morland, where we have been stationed, and where the natural psionic powers are more abundant than the Crimson Keep.

This is more conducive to the recovery of our compatriots.

Finally, the village of Morland is only a day's walk from the Crimson Keep, making it very easy to get around. ”

"That's a really good idea!"

Old Eugene nodded and said:

"But will the vampire lord agree?"

"Lord Murphy shouldn't care about that, I said, he's a very peculiar vampire. If it weren't for his midnightly blessing appearance, I would have thought he was a scheming human. ”

Natalie replied:

"However, Morland Village is the fief of Lady Miriam, Baroness of Morland, so we may need to get permission from the Baroness and officially issue documents, so I'll take care of that.

I have some friendship with her.

And then there's the second thing, about the 'Adventurers' Guild'.

Don't put that on that face, Master Eugene, I know you can't bear the name of the White Oak Warband for three hundred years, but now we have to make a change.

Lord Murphy meant that he wanted to see the Adventurers' Guild start functioning as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow, and he seemed to want us to complete the docking and coordination with his warriors on certain matters.

I thought about it on the way here.

I decided to transfer some of the disabled veterans in the warband who are no longer on the battlefield to become trainers for various classes, so as to help Murphy's warriors better master their strength and skills, and teach them combat experience. ”

Natalie organized her language and spoke eloquently to the two master witch hunters:

"In addition, we will also send some young people with active thinking to take the initiative to join the reconstruction of the Scarlet Keep, and if possible, strive to take up positions in grassroots management, and finally find some well-spoken compatriots to become our 'quartermasters'.

Murphy has agreed that we can sell the Compute Orb attachments that were originally given to the lord as gifts for his warriors to use at a reasonable price.

This will be an important source of funding for the construction of the church.

Finally, and most importantly, we don't need to fight on a large scale anymore, so our domesticated Demon Hunter is a resource that can be used.

I'm going to sell 500 of the 800 horses we have to the Crimson Keep officials, and we'll keep only 300 of them, and it's all too good to maintain a small but elite ranger. ”

"That's a great idea!"

Mama Marianne said very approvingly:

"You can assign a rider to be responsible for the domestication of the Demon Hunting War Pony, and after the collapse of the Avalon Church, the domestication method of the Demon Hunting War Pony is the only one we still have in our hands.

This may be the real capital for our countrymen to settle in Translasia, and I have observed before that there are large and very flat pastures in the hills of Under Armar and in the county of Sico, near the Frozen Bay.

There can be used as a horse farm. ”

"I feel like we're talking about selling ourselves!"

Old Eugene stinked.

Apparently he didn't like the things that Natalie was discussing now that were too "philistine" for believers, but he was an old man who had gone through the ups and downs of life, and the old man was always full of wisdom.

He didn't like it, but he knew it was absolutely necessary, so after a few complaints, he got up and went to find a piece of wood, an axe, and a carpenter's tool, and quickly made a very iconic plaque for the Adventurers' Guild.

But out of nostalgia for the old days, the stubborn old guy still stubbornly made this plaque exactly like the plaque at the White Oak Warband headquarters on Gramo Island.

This made Natalie and Marianne shake their heads helplessly, but everyone has a way of nostalgic for the past, so let him go.

Early the next morning, when the sleep mode was about to end and be forced offline, Brother Meow came to this city with his four King Kongs and the old watch, he knew before that there were two witch hunters in the White Oak Warband, but the grumpy old man was not easy to deal with.

Brother Meow is here to try his luck and see if he can get a chance to change jobs in an advanced career.

As a result, the six of them came on a parade through the streets, and at a glance they saw a huge marching tent standing in the cleared ruins.

There is also a conspicuous plaque in front of it.

"Adventurer's Guild? ! Such a classic otherworldly adventure agency has finally appeared! It has to smell like this. ”

Brother Heisi shouted excitedly.

He was about to go up to look for it, but a gray shadow flew down like lightning and startled him.

When I looked closely, I found that it was a small, cute and fierce and proud falcon, similar to the peregrine falcon in the real world, but its claws were significantly sharper and its beak was a little more beautiful.

"Isn't this Ms. Natalie's pet?"

The old succubus song recognized this iconic falcon at a glance.

As a hunter, he dreamed of a companion who was also a lively bird to be his assistant.

Brother Meow persuaded him to switch to the old religion class system before, and there was a larger and more ferocious horned eagle above the tent farther away, and the guy's already sharp claws were covered with delicate oak claw covers.

It was old Eugene's hunting companion "Thunderstorm".

Marianne also had a Saker of a divine steed, but unfortunately it was lost in a dangerous reconnaissance during the Ten Years' War, and Mama was very sad and has not domesticated a similar companion since.

"Warriors, at last you have come to this holy place at the call of my God."

Natalie, who was busy in the tent, heard the voice and walked out, and immediately smiled when she saw the six players who were already members of the Avalon Church.

The Grey-Haired Demon Huntsman beckoned to them.

When these six men entered the parishion, they immediately felt the "power of nature", in which their perception was greatly enhanced, and the envelopment and shelter of the natural breath also greatly soothed their souls.

But soon, Natalie felt a peculiar aura from the head of Brother Meow, and after carefully distinguishing it, she frowned and asked:

"Warrior meow, have you recently received an oracle from my god?"

"Yes! Ahem, Boss Avalon, I mean, Avalon, Nature, has sent me a message that he wants us to spread the faith in nature across the land of Translasia! ”

Brother Meow immediately put on a "saint" posture and added fuel to the vinegar to tell the content of the hidden mission he triggered, and after hearing that the oracle of God Avalon was to expand her faith, Natalie raised her eyebrows.

Is this a desire to see the new church of Avalon in Transnesia?

With such a clear goal, direct oracles are rarely obtained, even in the existence of the Old Religion.

"We desire to spread the majesty of the gods, but we are limited to weakness in power."

Seeing that Lady Natalie had fallen silent, Brother Meow immediately made his request on the pole, and he leaned on his waist the sacred hunting sword that had belonged to Natalie's mother, and said:

"As you can see, I have passed the Black Iron Trial, and my brothers are preparing for it, but we desperately need secret knowledge from the Church of Avalon to strengthen our authority as preachers of God"

"My God does not care about authority, my God is only a merciful shelter for all creatures who fear nature, and you must not use violence to achieve the purpose of preaching faith, that is blasphemy in our system!"

Natalie shook her head and planned to give the "imposter believer" in front of her, Brother Meow, the teachings of the god Avalon, but as soon as this began, she discovered some "incongruities" in Brother Meow.

After moving their noses to make a closer look, the White Oak Warband's face changed.

She scolded with a serious face:

"You! Have you just made a war sacrifice? ”

"Huh? Oh yes, I sacrificed four pagans to my god in the woods when I was saving you! ”

Brother Meow triumphantly took out the three bloodwood seeds in his hand and asked Lady Natalie for a reward.

But there was no joy on Natalie's face.

She looked at the "ignorant and fearless" Brother Meow with a complicated gaze, and then sighed and said:

"You don't even know what 'war sacrifice' means, and you're even hearing it for the first time, right?"

"That's for the majesty of my God!"

Brother Meow didn't want to expose his essence of being a "believer", but the next moment, Mama Marianne's voice sounded at the entrance of the tent:

"You have wielded the blade of nature under the gaze of the gods, not for protection and arbitration, which means that you will no longer be welcome in the way of protection and neutrality, warrior, and you can only continue along the path of conquest and eventually become a 'Red Knight' who brings war and destruction.

It was a terrible fate."

"Blanch! What is the Red Knight? ”

The pretending force next to him didn't use his hands and widened his eyes and said:

"Sounds so cool!"

"That's the blood-stained power, that's the power of conquest, that represents the most ruthless, brutal and angry side of wild nature, the Red Knight has always been a symbol of calamity, not only for others, but also for himself."

Mama Marianne took out a codex from her bosom and handed it to Brother Meow, and she whispered:

"At the end of your journey of oak, you have to accept your predestined fate, and there will be no more stability and happiness left for you, and your life will be full of doom and thorns. You can't be an Oak Sage like the others, so find the enemies of nature and start your own path to war, Knights of Calamity. ”

"Ding"

A light prompt sounded in Brother Woo's ears, and a prompt popped up in the character interface:

[Received the special transfer item "Book of Conquest Codex", and the advanced class 'Oak Knight' can be transferred!]

The Avalon Power System Special Class 'Red Knight' has been clarified as follows:

Oak Apprentice→ Oak Knight→ Nature's Spear of Punishment→ Red Knight.

The Avalon Church General Conversion Route has been clarified:

Oak Apprentice→ Oak Sage→ Nature: Guardian Blade/Druid→ White Knight/Grand Druid.

Witch Hunter Apprentice→ Witch Hunter→ Witch Hunter Master/Nature: Arbitral Blade→ White Knight/Grey Knight. 】

"Wow, I feel like I've found something pretty amazing!"

Brother Meow exclaimed:

"Has the development team made the system so perfect? Let me post it on the forum, and attract those who are strong to join in the grand event, share the glory of my God, and complete the missionary task by the way. ”
