My players are so fierce

Chapter 965 964. The civilization of the halflings has become a candle in the wind

Crow left the conference room and completed a pleasant speech. He moved his body relaxedly and happily, and pushed up his glasses as he walked out of the Blood Vulture Corridor.

Recalling his conversation with the vampires just now, his gentle eyes shone with great interest.

It was what might be called a "fanatical" light.

It's like a perverted murderer seeing his victim, or like a mad scientist getting his hands on a test subject.

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

Although he himself is low-key, he is actually considered a moderate "legendary" among players.

Crow has been in the game for a long time. Teacher Li who invited him to join the game has now become the Grand Master of the Shado-Pan and a T0 Silver player among the players. Players at the same time as him have also achieved their own achievements, but he is the only one. He is still unknown, even so low-key that many players have never heard of his name.

He doesn’t do quests, push plots, fights, clear dungeons, or even participate in player group activities. He rarely shows up on the forum. The only reputation he has gained is with the Church of Avalon, but he doesn’t do it through regular means. To gain reputation.

His fame comes from his strange behavior of leading believers in prayers and explaining scripture to them in the Temple of Avalon.

If it weren't for the fact that he could indeed go online and offline, he would be a rather gentle local image, and even the crow would have developed a local dialect with a Transian accent.

That's right!

This guy is currently one of the only players who can communicate with locals without any problem without using computational orb translation. Because the Church of Avalon originated from the Elf Kingdom of Castile, he even taught himself Elvish.

In the group dedicated to Faith Walker players established by Mrs. Mew Miao Ge Shui on the forum, they would turn to the crow for help whenever they had questions about faith and doctrine, and the crow could always give a perfect answer.

He is not only specialized in the teachings of Avalon, but also knows the teachings of the Church of the Winter Wolf and the Temple of the Berserker. As he said, when the Knights of Storm hold the Mass of the Church of the Holy Light in Stromgarde, they always invite Crow Went to host and the results were outstanding.

Every time he presides over the Mass of Holy Light, the local believers in Stromgarde will be convinced and even intoxicated.

In short, in the face of Crow's "playing spirit", even a hardcore RP party like Taipal would be ashamed.

But the most important thing is that Crow is not a RP party!

The actions he took had a very clear logic and goal guide.

He joined the Church of Avalon in order to study the strange connection between the gods and beliefs in this world. He learned the local language and Elvish language in order to understand the ancient scriptures without any obstacles, and debated the scriptures with the local priests in order to understand the gods in their hearts. image.

This guy even made a special trip to Cadman City and had a brief conversation with Old Sutou under Turner's introduction.

His obsession with studying the secrets of the gods is completely different from Tris's climb for power. He really just wants to figure out how faith works in the material world, just like those folk scientists who work tirelessly for one goal for years. Year after year of excavation and deconstruction.

Just now, Crow knew that the results of his research in the past period had finally come to be put into practice.

He did not get too deeply involved in the transformation of the vampires' belief in the Midnight Mother. He was not a vampire, and he did not intend to become a vampire, so he was only observing this matter from an observational perspective, and wanted to see what happened to him. Can the vampires who started acting on the advice of the Lord create a midnight god who prefers order in the future?

Crow looked forward to this with great anticipation.

He took out a pocket watch and checked the time, preparing to return to the Avalon Temple to prepare for the believers' Bible debate tomorrow, and to take the believers to the orphanage in Scarlet Castle to help the children. In addition, the liberation of Shadow Valley has been It's a done deal.

I had made an agreement with Mrs. Shui before that as soon as the town there was built, I would go there and become a priest.

Regarding the theory of faith and gods that he has researched, he also plans to carry out a practical operation from scratch, but the crow has not made a decision yet on which god he will try in the name of.

"Hey, Brother Crow, wait for me!"

Just as he was walking towards the Temple of Avalon, the call from behind made him stop. When he turned around, he saw Boss Huo holding Guanyue's hand and rushing over. The two of them should have been wandering around the city just now. .

Gee, come on a date in the game, these rich people really know how to play.

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

Crow asked with a smile, because the Holy Light Church needed to "get sponsorship" for some non-governmental organization activities. He often represented the Riptide Knights to go to Booty Bay to play in the autumn wind, so he had a good relationship with Boss Huo.

Facing Crow's inquiry, Lao Huo was not polite at the moment. He looked around and whispered:

"There is indeed something that I need to consult with you, a professional. Please look at this first."

Lao Huo took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to Crow, who frowned after taking it in his hand and examining it carefully. 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 holy emblem? And it is definitely not made casually. The name of a god is constructed on it with some kind of runes that are difficult to understand."

He looked at Lao Huo and said:

"Where did you find it?"

"Found it in my office last night."

Lao Huo sighed and said:

"In the office of the casino, the security guards could make sure that no one had entered, and I asked someone about it. An earth priest told me that this is the name of the god of wealth and transactions.

Dutna Burning Gold!

It is said that it was a god who was born when the Brass Fortress collapsed. He is very low-key and has basically not developed any faith or followers since his birth. I don’t know how I was found, but the presence of this thing shows wealth. God noticed me.

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

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

Crow played with the golden coin holy symbol in his hand and said:

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

"I just want to experience the game!"

Old Huo laughed and said:

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

"Then no wonder the God of Wealth came to you."

Crow nodded and said:

"The God of Wealth obviously needs his own church to appear in the material world. After all, she is a God of faith. She can't live without believers. I guess this may be the God of Wealth's selection of the 'chosen ones'. If you can show up in front of her, If you show your ability, she might give you a real favor.

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

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Lao Huo nodded and said:

"Anyway, we can't truly believe in a certain god. It's like opening a reputation covenant in the game, and if you can get the identity of the God's Chosen One, you will be the only one among the players. How awesome.

But how can I attract the favor of the God of Wealth? "

"You have to think about this yourself."

Crow returned the gold coin to Lao Huo and said:

"But I think it's better to show off your super talent in the business field and show off your skills to the businessmen on this continent."

"How about opening an exchange to trade stocks?"

Boss Huo blinked and said:

"I guess financial games must be very appetizing to the God of Wealth, right?"

"Well, I'm not good at this. I almost lost my pants when I was trading in the stock market, 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. Maybe she will ask you to be the patriarch after the Church of the God of Wealth is established."

The two of them laughed and said goodbye. Crow watched Boss Huo and Miss Guanyue leave. He shook his head and turned around to continue walking towards the Temple of Avalon like a pious man. But before he had taken a few steps, Crow suddenly His expression changed.

He reached into his pocket and took out a gold coin from the 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 god extended an invitation to him.

"Well, you are really a keen and greedy god."

Crow put the gold coin holy symbol in front of his eyes and asked without respect:

"You advocate trading, so the question is, what kind of reward can you give me so that I can refuse Lord Avalon's solicitation and join your army wholeheartedly?"

"I will personally test your wonderful theory about gods and beliefs just now. I am even willing to be your test subject. Anyway, I am alone now. How about it?"

An extremely magnetic voice sounded in Crow's ears, like an elegant lady in a formal dress inviting him to a dance at this moment.

"You are really a charming trader, Your Excellency. I admit, I am moved."

The light in Crow's eyes lit up, so he tossed up the gold coin in his hand and held it in his hand again. He said:

"Well, just wait and see, I will find an opportunity to show the entire continent the true power of wealth and trading. Well, I may need a little help, but not from you. Your power is not needed at this stage. Come down, you just have to wait for the good news.”

After saying that, Crow opened the calculation orb, contacted Boss Huo, and asked:

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

"Huh? Big deal? How big is it?"

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

——

"What? Are you still sad?"

In the Blood Eagle Corridor, Murphy leaned in his office, which he had not returned to for a long time. While checking some documents sent by Miriam that required his signature, he said to Tris via quantum communication:

"You know, Crow's conclusion is not actually from his own exploration and understanding. He is backed by another world's philosophy and historical materialism that has been developed for many years. You are shocked by the weight of a world, not He was defeated by a genius in his field of expertise.

What's more, the most popular trend among young people in other worlds is to create a god with their own hands and then destroy it with their own hands. The foreigners are a group of madmen who enjoy the pleasure of creating and destroying gods with their own hands.

By the way, my wife shouldn’t be so fragile, right? "

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

Tris's tone was filled with a unique tone that made Murphy feel distressed. She whispered in frustration:

"I just don't know how to describe it, but compared to Lord Crow's research and deconstruction in the past few months, the past many years when I called myself a 'theologian' were more like a waste of time.

I know that his interpretation of faith and gods is based on the cognition of another world, full of a concise style of pragmatism and idealism, and his theory is still very rudimentary, and there are many loopholes in it. God alone The concept of rights and obligations is not something that believers can stipulate using contract terms.

But this cannot hide that his explanation of the missing link of goal symbolism in faith, especially the power of group expectations and activism, has indeed filled a very important link in the current mainland theological system.

Especially for the Temple of the Berserker.

If the priests of Varmu can learn this lesson and codify a clear divine purpose for Varmu's teachings, I fear the Temple of the Berserker's influence will spread within years.

I can't do this, Murphy.

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

I could never achieve the intellectual deconstruction of The Crow. "

"Of course you can't do it, because you are not an unbeliever, Tris. Even if you are a vampire without belief, it is impossible for us to conceptually dissect powerful and higher-than-reality gods with the indifferent tone of talking about research subjects. .”

Murphy sighed and said:

“This is a unique advantage for small players.

They are materialists and atheists in the true sense, and such people cannot be found in this world.

They are also naturally able to analyze these things from exaggerated angles that we have never thought of. This is really not your fault. You have to cheer up. Now we have determined how to transform the beliefs of Midnight Mother.

The crow cannot intervene in the next work, and we can only rely on you, an outstanding theologian. "

"Bang bang bang bang"

A rapid knock on the door sounded at this moment. Murphy looked up from the documents in front of him and saw a serious-looking Adele walking in with a document.

she says:

"The Steam Lords have sent a letter asking for help again. Master Murphy, this time it is extremely urgent. The satellite town of Port Shardeau has been attacked by jackals! The army of the Bonegnawing Clan has blown up the outer wall of the city.

Colonel Ron, the commander of the Black Flame Mercenary Group, also sent back the news, confirming this bad battle report.

Just now, the Knights of the Blood Alliance sent a transfer order. Ms. Leonia and the arch knights under her command have been mobilized. We must also send troops to support there. "

"What's going on? How did the situation deteriorate to this point all of a sudden?"

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

"Didn't it mean that after the death of the Lord of Hunting, he brought a spiritual plague to the Jackals that is difficult to eradicate? With the bone-gnawing clan's thug status, it is beyond imagination for them to be able to maintain their organization, let alone fight. .”

"I don't know, Master."

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

But she still answered seriously:

"We lack strength and manpower on the Genoa Peninsula. No one knows what has happened there in recent times. Maybe the jackals have found a way to eradicate the spiritual plague?"

"Or perhaps they have turned their violent beliefs to a master even worse than the Lord of the Hunt."

Murphy took out a photo of the battlefield taken with a Halfling camera from the file, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. Against the background of dusk, the gnoll thugs were marching towards Port Chardeau amidst fire and gunpowder smoke. There was some purple shimmer that felt very familiar to Murphy.

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

"It's Dusk again. These bastards are now starting to worship the subspace shadow directly. Contact the Thorn Clan, Adele, and ask them to use the Thieves Guild's connections. I want to find out the current progress of the gnolls in the Genoa Peninsula and their Strategic Planning.

Also send a message to Maxim!

Immediately mobilize the People's Army soldiers to form the Transian Expeditionary Force and send mission instructions to the players. They have rested for several days and it is time to set foot on the battlefield again. "

"Do you want to go there in person?"

Adele asked, Murphy nodded and said:

"I have nothing to do here, and there is also a banquet invitation from the Pharaoh. The most important thing is that there is a group of Transians stranded in Port Chardeau.

I have to get them back.

By the way, are those Hermes still wandering around Transia?

The invitation is sent in my name. Their goal is to hunt the dusk. I am sure that there must be many, many prey waiting for them to chase on the Genoa Peninsula now. "
