964. The civilization of the halfling is already a candle in the wind...

Leaving the room, the crow gave a delightful speech, relaxing and happily moving his body, pushing his glasses as he walked out of the Vulture Corridor.

Remembering his conversation with the vampires, his gentle eyes twinkled with great interest.

That's what can be called "fanatical" light.

It's like a psychopathic murderer seeing a victim, or a mad scientist getting an experiment.

This makes him look like a villain at this point, but in fact he is really just enjoying the game in his own way.

Although he himself is low-key, he is actually a "legend" who is not too big or small among players.

It has been a long time since the crow entered the game, and Mr. Li, who invited him to the game, has now become a great master of the Shadow Sect and is a T0 silver among the players, and those players at the same time as him also have their own achievements, but he is still unknown, and even low-key to the point that many players have never heard of his name.

He doesn't do quests, doesn't push plots, doesn't fight, doesn't farm dungeons, and doesn't even participate in player group activities, and he rarely comes up on the forums, and the only prestige he has gained is the Avalon Church, but he doesn't farm his reputation through conventional means.

His fame comes from the strange act of leading the faithful in prayer and explaining the scriptures to them in the Avalon Sanctuary.

If it weren't for the fact that he could actually go offline, he would be a fairly mild local, and even Raven would have developed a local dialect with a Trancian accent

That's right!

This guy is one of the few players who can communicate with the locals without having to do the orb translation, as the Church of Avalon originated from the Elven kingdom of Castile, and he even taught himself the Elven language.

In the group set up on the forum by Lady Meow Water for Faith Walkers, they turn to Raven for any question of faith and doctrine, and Raven gives a perfect answer every time.

Not only did he specialize in the teachings of Avalon, but he also had the teachings of the Church of the Winter Wolves and the Temple of the Berserker, and as he said, the Ravens were always invited to preside over the Church of Light Mass at Riptide Castle.

Every Mass of Light presided over by him will make the local believers in Riptide Castle listen to it with pleasure and even fascination.

In short, in the face of the crow's "playing spirit", even a hardcore RP party like Tempal is ashamed of itself.

But most importantly, Ravens are not an RP party!

All of these actions he has done have a fairly clear logic and goal.

He mingled in the Avalonian church to study the strange relationship between the gods and beliefs of the world, to learn the local language and elven language to understand the ancient scriptures without barriers, and to discern with the local priests to find out the image of the gods in their minds.

The guy even made a trip to Cadman City and had a brief conversation with the old Sue Tou on Turner's recommendation.

His obsession with studying the secrets of the gods is very different from Tracey's ascent to power, he really just wants to figure out how faith works in the physical world, like those folk scientists who tirelessly excavate and deconstruct year after year for a goal.

And just now, the crow knew that the research results of his past period of time had finally reached the time when they could be put into practice.

He is not too deeply involved in the vampires' belief in the Mother of Midnight, he is not a vampire, and he has no intention of becoming a vampire, so he is only in the perspective of observation about this matter, and he is eager to see if the vampires who started acting under his own advice can create a midnight god who is biased towards order in the future?

The raven was looking forward to this.

He took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, preparing to return to the Avalon Sanctuary to prepare for tomorrow's believers' discernment, and to take the believers to the orphanage of the Crimson Keep to help the children, and besides, the liberation of the Shadow Valley was already a foregone conclusion.

I agreed with Mrs. Water that as long as the town there is built, I will go over to become a priest.

As for the theory of beliefs and gods that he has researched, he also plans to conduct a practical operation from scratch, but the crow has not yet made a decision on which god to try in the name of the god.

"Hey, Raven, wait for me!"

Just as he was walking towards the Avalon Sanctuary, the call that sounded from behind him stopped him, and when he turned around, he saw that Boss Huo was holding the hand of the closed moon and rushing over, these two should have been wandering around the city just now.

Tsk, come to the game for a date, these rich people really know how to play.

"Is there anything I can do to help you both?"

The crow asked with a smile, because the Holy Light Church needs to "pull sponsorship" for some civil group activities, and he has often represented the Riptide Knights to fight the autumn breeze in Treasure Bay, so he has a good relationship with Boss Huo.

In the face of the crow's inquiry, Lao Huo was not polite, he looked left and right, and whispered:

"There's really something to ask you about, a professional, you look at this first."

Lao Huo took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to the crow, who took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and immediately frowned, he put the gold coin in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and found some special lines on it.

"Is this some kind of emblem? And it was not made casually, it was constructed with some kind of incomprehensible rune to construct the name of a god. ”

He looked at Lao Huo and said:

"Where did you find that?"

"Found in my office last night."

Lao Huo sighed and said:

"Right in the casino's office, the security guards were sure no one had entered, and I asked someone to ask about it, and a priest of the earth told me that it was the name of the god of wealth and trade.

Dutena Burn Gold!

It is said that it was born when the Brass Fortress collapsed, he was very low-key, and since his birth has basically not developed faith and disciples, I don't know how I was found, but the presence of this thing means that the god of wealth noticed me.

So, I'm going to ask you what to do? ”

"Well, it depends on what you want from that god."

The crow played with the emblem of the gold coin in his hand, and he said:

"What exactly do you want? Wealth or power? Strength or honor? ”

"I just want to have a good experience of the game!"

Old Huo Haha smiled and said:

"I don't lack the things you said in reality, if I have to say, I want to build a business empire here from scratch! Really experience what it's like to be a tycoon. ”

"Then it's no wonder that the god of wealth will find you."

The raven nodded and said:

"The God of Wealth obviously needs her own church to appear in the material world, after all, she is a God of Faith, no believers can't do it, I guess this may be the God of Wealth's selection of the 'Chosen One', if you can show your ability in front of her, maybe she will send down the real Long Grace for you.

If you want to build a business empire on a magical continent without a backstage, Boss Huo, the God of Wealth is a good backstage, and she is more suitable for you than all the existing beliefs. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Lao Huo nodded and said:

"Anyway, we can't really believe in a certain god, so it's equivalent to opening a prestige covenant in the game, and if we can get the identity of the Chosen One, we are also unique among players, how awesome.

But how can I win the favor of the god of wealth? ”

"You'll have to think for yourself."

The crow returned the gold coin to Lao Huo and said:

"But I think it's better to show your super talent in the business field and show a good hand to the merchants on this continent."

"Why don't you open an exchange and engage in stocks?"

Boss Huo blinked and said:

"I guess financial games must have an appetite for the god of wealth, right?"

"Well, I'm not good at this, I almost lost all my pants when I was trading stocks, so I won't play with you."

The crow was embarrassed, waved goodbye, and said:

"But I think you can try it on a small scale, she will definitely be interested, and maybe she will ask you to be the patriarch when the church of the God of Wealth is established."

The two said goodbye with a giggle, and the crow watched Boss Huo and Miss Closed Moon leave, he shook his head and turned around and continued to walk towards the Avalon Sanctuary as a pious, but before he could take a few steps, the crow's expression suddenly changed.

He reached into his pocket and felt for it, but he took out a gold coin from his empty pocket.

It is exactly the same as Lao Huo's gold coin just now, and it also has the name of the god of wealth and trading on it.

A deity extended an invitation to him.

"Well, you're a sharp, greedy god."

The crow put the gold coin emblem in front of his eyes, and he asked disrespectfully:

"You believe in trading, so the question is, what kind of reward can you give me to refuse the solicitation of Lord Avalon and join you wholeheartedly?"

"I'm even willing to test your wonderful theories about gods and beliefs with my own hands, and I'm still alone now. How is it? ”

An extremely magnetic voice rang in the crow's ears, like an elegant lady in a dress who had sent him an invitation to a ball at this moment.

"You are such a charming trader, Your Excellency, I admit, I am fascinated."

The light in the crow's eyes lit up, and the gold coin in his hand was tossed and clasped in the palm of his hand, and he said:

"Okay, then please wait and see, I will find an opportunity to show the whole continent the true power of wealth and trading, well, I may need a little help, but it is not from you, at this stage you don't need your power to fall, you just need to wait for good news."

After speaking, the crow opened the calculation orb, contacted Boss Huo, and asked:

"Hey, Lao Huo, do you want to do a big thing together?"

"Huh? Event? How big is it? ”

"The kind that can subvert a hostile country, um, maybe two?"

——

"What? Still sad? ”

In the Vulture Corridor, Murphy leaned against his office, where he hadn't been back for a long time, and while checking some documents sent by Miriam that needed his signature, he said to Triss using quantum communication:

"You know, the crow's conclusion is not actually from his own exploration and understanding, he has the philosophy and historical materialism that have been developed in another world for many years as a backing, you are shocked by the weight of a world, not defeated by a genius in your own field of expertise.

What's more, the most popular fashion among young people in the other world is to create a god with your own hands and then destroy it with your own hands. Gentiles are a bunch of madmen who enjoy the pleasure of making gods with their own hands and destroying them with their own hands.

In other words, my wife shouldn't be so fragile, right? ”

"It's not fragile, Murphy, and I'm not sad."

Tracey's tone was filled with a distinctive tone that made Murphy feel distressed, and she whispered full of frustration:

"I just don't know how to describe it, but compared to the months of research and deconstruction of Lord Raven, the past years of my self-proclaimed 'theologian' have been more like wasted time.

I know that his interpretation of beliefs and gods is based on the knowledge of another world, and is full of pragmatism and idealistic simplicity, and that his theory is still very rudimentary, and there are many loopholes in it, and the concept of the rights and duties of gods alone is not something that believers can stipulate in terms of contract.

But that doesn't obscure his interpretation of the missing link of the symbolism of the faith, especially with regard to group expectations and the power of activism, which does fill in an important part of the current continental theological system.

Especially for the Temple of the Berserker.

If Vam's priests could learn this lesson and codify a clear spiritual goal for Vam's teachings, I am afraid that the influence of the Berserker Temple would spread within a few years.

I can't do that, Murphy.

My mind is full of outdated concepts, and I only know how to analyze God and faith from the concept of power, which is full of utilitarianism.

I'll never be able to deconstruct as sane as a crow. ”

"Of course you can't, because you're not an unbeliever, Trace, and even a vampire without faith, we can't conceptually dissect powerful and higher than reality gods in the same nonchalant tone as we talk about our subjects."

Murphy sighed and said:

"It's an advantage for young players.

They are materialists and atheists in the truest sense of the word, and such people are simply not to be found in this world.

Naturally, they can dissect these things from an exaggerated angle that we never thought of, and I really don't blame you, you have to cheer up, now that we've figured out how to rebuild the Midnight Mother.

The rest of the work crow will not intervene, and we will have to rely on you, the eminent theologian. ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

A quick knock on the door sounded at this moment, causing Murphy to look up from the document in front of him, and saw a serious-looking Adele walking in with a document.

She said:

"The Steam Lords have sent a letter for help again, Master Murphy, this time 100,000 are in a hurry, and the satellite town of Port Chardo has been breached by the Gnolls! The armies of the Biting Bone Clan have blown up the outer walls of that city.

Colonel Ron, the commander of the Black Flame Mercenary Regiment, also sent back the news, confirming the terrible battle report.

Just now, the Knights of the Blood Alliance sent a dispatch that Lady Leenia and her Bow Knights have been recruited, and we must send troops to support them. ”

"What's going on? How did the situation get worse all of a sudden? ”

Murphy stood up and looked at the document in front of him, he frowned and said:

"Didn't you say that the Lord of the Hunt had brought a spiritual plague to the gnolls after his fall? With the thug state of the Biting Bone Clan, let alone fighting now, it is already beyond imagination that they can maintain their establishment. ”

"I don't know, master."

When Adele said this, she deeply felt the failure and embarrassment of her intelligence officer at this time.

But she replied earnestly:

"We lack the strength and manpower in Genoa, and no one knows what has happened there in the last few days, perhaps the gnolls have found a way to eradicate the plague of the mind?"

"Or maybe they have instead given their berserk faith to another master who is worse than the Lord of the Hunt."

Murphy took out a photograph of the battlefield taken with his halfling camera from the file and put it in front of his eyes to examine it closely, and against the background of that dusk, the gnoll mob was haunting the gnoll mob towards Port Chardo in the fire and smoke of gunpowder, and some purple glimmer that Murphy felt familiar.

He threw the photo on the table, rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"It's dusk again, and these bastards are now worshipping the subspace shadows. Contact the Thorn Clan, Adele, and ask them to use the Thieves' Guild connections, and I want to find out the current progress of the Gnolls in Genoa and their strategic plans.

Send a message to Maxim at the same time!

Immediately draw the People's Army fighters to form the Transasia Expeditionary Force and send mission instructions to the players, they have been resting for several days, and it is time to get back on the battlefield. ”

"Are you going to go there in person?"

Adele asked, and Murphy nodded and said:

"There's nothing I can do here to do, and I have an invitation to the Pharaoh's banquet and, above all, a detachment of Transians stranded in the port of Chardo.

I have to get them back.

By the way, are those Helms still wandering around Transnsia?

Sending an invitation in my name, their goal is to hunt for twilight, and I am sure that there must be many, many prey waiting for them to pursue in the current Genoa peninsula. ”
