Chapter 269 The Holy City and the Holy Maiden!
[Holy City of Lordaeron], Polly Betty's home.
"Betty, the apple pie is ready, bring it to your friend."
The middle-aged woman in an apron shouted at the top of her lungs.
Then I saw a little freckled girl with a ponytail running downstairs, picking up the baking tray from her mother's hand and rushing upstairs.
"Slow down, if you drop the apple pie, I'll spank you!"
Came the aunt's threatening voice.
"I know. It's annoying."
"Hey, you girl..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his words, he heard the door hitting the door frame.
When you open the door of the attic room, you can see a group of half-grown boys and girls gathered there.
As soon as "Betty" put down the baking tray in her hand, she saw the little friends in front of her covering their mouths, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"Laugh if you want to, laugh to your heart's content!"
"Betty" sighed helplessly.
Then, there was a burst of laughter in the attic.
As for the reason why the friends burst into laughter, it was naturally because Uncle Li, who was once a big shot on Blue Star, not only was reincarnated as a little loli, but he was also spanked.
Faced with such a situation, Uncle Li expressed helplessness.
He could only wait until everyone had laughed enough before he collapsed on the ground and said, "Have you laughed enough? If you have, it's time to get down to business."
The Paladin King, who had transformed into a young boy, said, "Pfft, ahem, right, right, let's get down to business. Let's summarize the current progress."
"good!"
Pei Lingxue, still in her girlish appearance, held a notebook and began to report:
"As of now, the progress of the side quests has reached 40%. If we continue like this, I believe we will be able to complete all the side quests within a year."
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "It won't be that fast. Don't forget what Su Bai said in the guide that Su Bai gave me before. Although the side storyline has no direct connection with the main storyline, it will also be affected by the main storyline."
"The side quests we are responsible for are just to collect some key props and explore the truth hidden behind this world."
"And some things will only gradually surface after the main storyline has advanced to a certain extent."
The young Paladin King nodded: "I agree with Master Li. We must be prepared for a long-term battle. Although we are safe here, we still need to be vigilant."
The other Blue Star players nodded in agreement.
The young Paladin King looked up at Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, at present, your development is most likely to be close to the core. Tell me about your progress."
Finally, he added: "About the progress of becoming the Holy Maiden of the Holy City."
That’s right, Mr. Li, who was “naturally intelligent”, finally made a name for himself in this holy city after half a year of hard work and gained a reputation for precocity.
Through the judgment of the Church of Lordaeron, Uncle Li's reincarnation "Poly Betty" became one of the recommended candidate saints this year.
There are such prospective saints almost every year.
Generally speaking, the Holy City will select girls under the age of 10 from all over the human race.
The selected girls will serve as prospective saints and join the holy city’s divine court to practice.
When they come of age, they will be sent to various parts of the mainland for training.
Eventually, the final saint will be selected based on the results of the training .
The Saint holds a transcendent status in the Holy City and even in the entire human race. Even the king of the empire has to show courtesy to the Saint when he meets her.
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "Not so fast. It will take some time for me to become a true candidate saint, but I can already enter the Divine Court to study."
"Also, I have the permission to read the first level of the Divine Court's library. I believe that after becoming a candidate saint, my permission will be upgraded to a higher level."
This statement caused everyone to praise it.
You have to know that most of them have been reincarnated as insignificant little people, and the most powerful one is just a mid-level martial artist in a martial arts school.
Uncle Li started from humble beginnings, but was able to seize the opportunity to show his talents and was selected to become a candidate saint. It can only be said that the older you are, the wiser you get.
Uncle Li laughed and said, "This is all thanks to your plan. Otherwise, I would never have been able to do this with just my identity as a 'little girl'."
"Okay, okay, stop flattering each other and continue the discussion."
Ever since Grandpa Li planned to become a candidate saint, the hundreds of Blue Star players who entered the Holy City began to plan.
From building momentum to being recommended, most of the plans were collectively discussed and executed by Blue Star players.
Everyone nodded and said, "Since Master Li has been confirmed to be the candidate for the Saint, our future plans will focus on helping Master Li become a Saint."
"I don't know how far we can go after the main story is over, but we'll just do our best."
A deep expression appeared on Uncle Li's young face:
"This world hides many secrets."
"Moreover, whether it is the legend of the seven heroes or the explanation of the gods in the Divine Court, they are very similar to the legends about heroes and gods in the Endless Continent."
"I have a feeling that these legends and records are definitely closely related to the Endless Continent."
"Perhaps, what Su wants us to find out is the secret behind this, a secret that even he has no way of knowing."
After hearing what Uncle Li said, the others also showed a thoughtful look on their faces.
They did not have as much access to and understanding of information as Grandpa Li, but even though they were in the Holy City, they could vaguely sense that something was wrong.
Why are the humans in this world so powerful even though they don't have a magic corridor?
According to the historical discoveries they had learned, the human race had dominated this continent for nearly ten thousand years.
During these ten thousand years, although there have been fierce struggles within the human race, they have always suppressed other ethnic groups on this continent, even to the point of suffocating them.
The human race has seized the resources of the continent, enslaved all races, and occupied the territories of other intelligent races to serve them...
Knowing history, they discovered that compared to the demons who were hated by everyone in the Holy City, the human race on this continent was the "tyrant" who "committed all kinds of evil."
But the gods favor the human race the most. They have bestowed countless divine decrees and blessings, and bestowed supreme honor on the human race on this land.
Whenever the Seven Heroes are born, they are always born from the human race, and the Demon King who starts the war and brings death is always from another race...
If the main storyline of the world they are experiencing happened a long time ago, or even in ancient history, then Uncle Li and the others believe that they need to figure it out.
How did the human race go from being the rulers of the continent to being an insignificant little race on the Endless Continent?
Do these people on Blue Star have any connection with the ancient human race?
…
All the questions are hidden in history.
The more Uncle Li and his team dug, the more they felt that they could not treat this side quest as an ordinary experience.
Perhaps, the truth they learned in the side quest is more important than the main storyline.
"Keep trying, comrades."
Uncle Li stood up, his two ponytails swinging in the air, and he said passionately in his most childish voice:
"Perhaps we are witnessing the slow decline of a great civilization."
"Perhaps if we figure out the truth behind this, we can also grasp the hope of letting the human race rise again!"
