Chapter 913 Plague Outbreak

The temple is the sanctuary of the gods in the material world. It is a place where the gods’ thoughts and ideas are promoted. It is also a gathering place for believers to pray and make donations. It represents the supreme majesty of divine power.

Generally speaking, unless they are devils, followers of devils, or some evil monsters, temples are rarely besieged in Faerûn.

In particular, the nominal ruler of Neverwinter, Lord Nasir, is a complete believer in the God of Justice. The mainstream belief in the entire city is Tyre, the God of Justice, and his influence has penetrated into all aspects of the ruling structure, including many. Bureaucrats and soldiers are themselves priests and paladins of the God of Justice.

Therefore, the priests in the Beggar's Nest Temple have never figured out what they did wrong to cause such great public outrage.

Looking at the messy scene below the steps of the temple, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said to the senior priest who came to investigate the situation: Did you see it? These damn poor people have been besieging the temple continuously for some unknown reason. For half a month, not to mention converting believers, even those who came to listen to the teachings before have disappeared.

They just stood outside and never rushed in? The senior priest frowned subconsciously.

Because of this strange situation, he couldn't help but think of some conspiracies.

Yes, no one rushed in. But the problem is that they cut off the water and food sources of the temple. No one in the entire Beggar's Nest is willing to provide us with food and drinks, so we can't even clean the temple at the moment. The young priest's face was filled with sadness.

But it’s no wonder!

He originally thought that coming to the Beggar's Nest to spread the teachings would be an easy job that would allow him to accumulate qualifications. Most of the poor people did not even know the words, and coupled with their natural reverence for the gods, he could easily gain a large number of followers.

But the tragic reality shattered this ridiculous idea.

Not to mention the believers, whether the entire temple can be maintained or not is now a problem.

Hey, this is not your fault, child. Let's go and follow back first. I think this matter is not that simple. Perhaps Irebeth de Timarande should send someone to investigate in person. The pastor was obviously more sensible and had no intention of blaming the younger generation, let alone getting angry.

Thank you very much for your understanding! Please wait a moment, I need to pack my things.

As the beggars' nest of poor people collectively besieged the Temple of the God of Justice,

The senior officials of Neverwinter City finally realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly sent out personnel to investigate, and even hired some bold adventurers.

But who knew that this place, which was originally just a gathering place for poor people, has now been turned into a fortress.

Before they could find anything, they were kicked out by Jesse's organization. The unknown adventure team didn't even have a chance to get out alive. The bodies were thrown into the sewer and allowed to be eaten by rats.

By forming a community of interests, Zhang Cheng has turned this place into his own kingdom. Anyone who is willing to cooperate will at least receive free food every day. However, if they do not cooperate, the result will be that the whole family will evaporate.

No one knows whether these people were killed or sold to slave traders.

Just when Lord Nasir was furious about this and wanted to send a large number of guards to clean up the Beggar's Nest, a terrible plague suddenly broke out in Neverwinter City.

In less than a few weeks, the plague had spread to every corner of the city, and hundreds of patients crowded the Temple of Tire in the center of the city.

Suddenly, the people fell into panic, and the prices of various drugs skyrocketed.

Especially after the city council ordered to close the city gates and isolate the circulation between various areas, even the price of food was out of control, so much so that the famous Neverwinter City Academy had to temporarily close.

As if overnight, the once prosperous Pearl of Northland turned into a place of chaos.

Under the threat of death, the dark side of human nature was unleashed to the maximum extent, and various vicious crimes followed one after another. In the end, there were so many prisoners that the prison could no longer accommodate them.

Feeling the panic and despair revealed in the whole city, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and said to Jesse standing in front of him: It's time to enter the next stage. Tell all the residents of Beggar's Nest that you will be here again. From the beginning, whoever is willing to give up his faith can get food and medicine that can resist the plague.

Faith?! Are you planning to become a god? The tiefling was shocked, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Become a god? No, I just want to do an experiment, an experiment about faith and gods. Remember, let them kneel and pray in front of the statue of the gods. If someone has a red light on his body, it means he is a liar. . For this kind of people, we will kill them directly as a warning to others. Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a deep light.

Except for himself, no one in this world can understand the huge meaning behind the experiment, not even the gods.

Understood! I will take care of it. Jesse bowed deeply.

There was no doubt that such a look made her feel frightened, as if she was an ant being stared at by a giant dragon.

Relax, don't be so nervous. I promise that when the plague passes, you will replace me as the underground queen of the Beggar's Nest. After saying that, Zhang Cheng stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the other person's smooth cheek.

After months of careful preparation, he finally revealed his sharp fangs and planned to use this sweeping plague to complete the experiment.

Since there is no temple of the God of Justice in Beggar's Nest, no matter what you do inside, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the outside world.

After all, all the attention of Neverwinter City is currently focused on treating patients and preventing the plague from continuing to spread unchecked, so how can there be energy to think about other things.

I replace you?! Jesse raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock.

That's right! Maybe in your opinion, the Underground King of Beggar's Nest is a title full of power and glory, but to me, it's like the weeds and wildflowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, nothing to make a fuss about. I I have a greater goal and will never be limited to a certain place. So when I don’t need something, I will give it to the most loyal subordinate. Zhang Cheng explained meaningfully while speaking lightly. Gently playing with the other person's thick hair.

Since it was just a projection of consciousness, he was in an extremely relaxed relationship from beginning to end.

The reason is simple. Even if someone discovers something and comes over to kill him, at most his consciousness will return to his original form, which will not cause any substantial harm at all.

The Titan's vitality is so powerful that it doesn't feel any threat.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Sargeras was accidentally defeated by Medivh's mother, Magna Aegwynn...
