Chapter 74 There is true love and true affection in the world!
Xu Xiaofan had been secretly observing the players' actions, and he felt very pleased.
Originally, Xu Xiaofan was worried that players would not be able to win over NPCs as believers of the God of Death, but from now on, the effect is very good, and the number of NPC believers has been steadily increasing.
It won't be long before all the NPCs in the entire Northern City become loyal believers of the God of Death.
The players are very awesome.
Compared to the temple's old way of recruiting believers, the players' method is much more effective.
According to the recollections of the adventurers in the tavern, when the temple first came to the Northern City, it also used similar means to expand the people in the city to become believers of the temple.
Although the people in the temple also used bribery as a means of inducement, the most commonly used method was the compulsory proclamation of faith.
Under a semi-forced form, people are required to go to the temple church once every ten days to listen to the priest's teachings.
If you don't go once or twice, your name will just be made public and you will be warned. But if you do it too many times, you may be wanted and labeled as a heretic.
Unless you are a powerful adventurer or an academic magician, you can avoid the temple's murderous clutches.
Like most ordinary NPCs, they can only listen obediently to the temple's reading of faith.
Although the temple also gives some benefits from time to time, such as gold coins, food, and help escorting caravans, these benefits are really not worth mentioning compared to the temple's forced restriction of freedom and change of personal will.
This is the city in the north. The people here are loosely controlled, unlike the big cities in the country, where people are used to being controlled, but people in the north pay more attention to the will of freedom.
Therefore, when players first start to expand their believers, they often run into obstacles and fail, because the native residents of the North are already somewhat disgusted with this kind of thing.
They don't want to believe in anything because they feel that belief will restrict their freedom.
But the players have all kinds of tricks, and the NPCs are no match at all!
You don't feel free, right?
It’s okay. I won’t force you. Let’s take our time. I’ll help you with the work and tasks every day. It’s all free.
The three wealthy clubs are even more outrageous. They go door to door to give out silver and copper coins, as long as you nod and go to the Tower of Destination.
That’s even better, I’ll start giving out gold coins starting tomorrow!
Don't worry about us having no money. The main members can just level up outside and bring back a lot of magic materials and Warcraft materials, which can be sold to the Chamber of Commerce and make a lot of money.
Individual players don’t have that much gold, silver and bronze, so they can’t just spend money directly, but they do have time and patience.
Individual players started a massive movement to go to the countryside.
"Aunt Kalida, has your son been unable to find a job? It's a small problem, I'll take care of it!"
"Brother Allen, I heard that you want to be a brave adventurer. Let me introduce you to someone else!"
"Uncle Abel, oh my, your legs are not in good condition, let me do the rough work of fetching water!"
"Aunt Lisa, I have delivered your letter. I guarantee that he will definitely be attracted to you. I have said many compliments to you!"
"Abner, we are friends, I'll buy this order! Brothers don't talk nonsense! We are brothers, and we are sincere!"
Individual players work together and make joint efforts.
Solve the employment problems of young people in the North, maintain the stability of cities in the North, promote emotional issues among men and women of marriageable age, take care of the elderly and widows, and often send caring care and greetings to those in need.
Don't ask me why the undead are so good, we learned it from the Tower of Destination.
"Don't ask me my name. I am a friendly ghost who has never left a name! I am the leader of the new era!"
"Although I don't look human, my soul is full of love and justice!"
"I'm ugly and evil, but I'm gentle."
"To understand the undead, start from the Tower of Destination!"
"Go to the Tower of Destination and listen to the priest's lecture! One lesson will refresh your mind, two lessons will keep you from getting tired, and three lessons will make you immortal!"
The Undead's movement to the countryside has achieved a phased victory and successfully opened up the strong defenses of the people in the North. The Undead players have melted the ice in the hearts of the people in the North with their ardent tenderness and enthusiasm!
The Undead players have proved themselves with actual actions. We are not the old-fashioned temple, we are the lovely Undead who care about the people of the North wholeheartedly!
"I...I want to thank the undead, thank these lovely skeletons and vampires!"
On the priest's pulpit of the Tower of Destination, an old man with gray hair stood there, shedding tears of emotion and speaking with a sob.
"It is because of them that I feel there is true affection and true love in the world!"
"It is these that changed my life and gave me, a poor old man who lost my son, a second chance at life."
"Without these undead, my future would be bleak and even the gods wouldn't even look at me. But the undead don't despise me for being old and useless."
"I want to be here and thank all the undead. They are the cutest creatures in the North!"
After the old man finished his speech, the priest smiled and led the applause.
“Pah pah pah pah!”
“Pah pah pah pah!”
“Pah pah pah pah!”
The entire Tower of Destination was filled with thunderous applause.
There are countless black chairs here, and they are always packed every day.
Whether it was the players or the NPCs present, everyone's face was filled with a happy smile from the heart.
…
Xu Xiaofan left the Tower of Destination with the crowd, and no one noticed his presence.
Xu Xiaofan was very satisfied with the players' performance these days.
The number of NPC believers is increasing, which is in line with Xu Xiaofan's plan.
In Xu Xiaofan's plan, no matter how many players there are on Earth, even if all the players on Earth come to play the game, they will definitely not be able to compete with the God of Light.
The faith in the God of Light is spread across countless dimensions, and the number of faiths cannot be described in terms of billions.
It is absolutely impossible to compete with the God of Light by relying solely on the Earth, so expanding the faith group beyond the Earth players is something Xu Xiaofan must do.
It’s not easy to be a god these days. He has to steal food from the bowl of the God of Light.
Fortunately, this group of Earth players are equivalent to a group of time travelers to the people in the other world. As the god of death, Xu Xiaofan has the help of a group of time travelers, and the energy and potential they unleash are quite terrifying.
Of course, the belief system of the God of Death is different from that of the God of Light, and the God of Death needs longevity.
But in order to avoid repeating what happened in his previous life, Xu Xiaofan decided not to force his believers to contribute their life points.
It doesn’t matter if the lifespan capacity increases slowly. As long as the number of believers increases, why would we worry about the lifespan energy?
Xu Xiaofan decided to improve his belief system.
The life energy must naturally be obtained through the believers, but it cannot be exploited blindly, and benefits must also be given to the believers.
For example, Xu Xiaofan has temporarily come up with two ways to obtain life energy from believers from other worlds.
The first method is to obtain the Life Absorber in the same way as the players. Believers who have reached a certain level of faith can be baptized by the priest and get their own special faith token. As long as they carry the token with them, any creature killed by this believer will have all its life energy extracted and given to Xu Xiaofan.
The second way is that after the believers reach a certain level of faith, they can pray to the God of Death to obtain the power and magic of the God of Death, but the price is to consume their own lifespan. Of course, it will not consume too much of the believers' lifespan. For Xu Xiaofan, it is at most a matter of small profits but quick turnover. Anyway, the magic of the God of Death is also developed through the energy of lifespan.
As long as the believers master the magical power of the god of death and kill the enemies, their life energy will naturally be recovered.
Of course, both methods are suitable for believers who are adventurers and love fighting. Most ordinary believers may never encounter a battle in their entire lives and simply provide faith to the god of death.
The God of Light likes this kind of believers the most, because they make a living by the power of faith.
If it were Xu Xiaofan, he could accept this kind of ordinary believer, but its value was not as high as that of combat believers.
The source of the God of Death's greatest strength is his life energy. At his peak, he can suppress the God of Light and even plunder the life of the god!
Life span comes from the soul, from the organism itself, and is a real energy. It is an energy system that is far superior to the faith system.
As for something like faith power, as a god, the God of Death can naturally obtain and use it, but Xu Xiaofan was arrogant in his previous life and looked down upon such a low-level energy as faith power.
And now Xu Xiaofan plans to collect the accumulated power of faith contributed by ordinary believers. It is also a means of defending against the enemy in case he is really helpless.
Xu Xiaofan had already made up his mind that he must expand the number of believers in the other world, increase efforts, and spread the word everywhere to enhance the belief foundation of the god of death.
Only in this way can he have the strength to fight with the God of Light and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
In the main city of the North, while players were completing public tasks, they certainly did not forget their own levels.
The planner has announced before that if 1,000 people reach level 30, a whole new mode of gameplay will be unlocked.
Everyone was holding back their energy and taking the opportunity to leave the forest to expand more upgrade points.
These days, Xu Ercong, as the city lord, has also been working very hard.
The three major clubs sent a large number of personnel to survey the surrounding area, and in the direction of the Northern Forest, they discovered more and more places suitable for players to level up.
The area of the Northern Forest is a forbidden area for many ordinary humans.
Monsters, swamps, mountains, rivers...many places hide deadly dangers, but also tempting opportunities.
But for players, the North is a paradise for upgrading.
Judging from the number of Northern upgrade points currently discovered by the three major clubs, it is estimated that there are enough for players to use for a long time.
While the Northern City was developing rapidly, something closely related to the players was happening in the distant City of Thornflowers.
City of Thorns and Flowers, Temple Square.
"Master Palace Master, something happened!"
A high priest with an anxious look on his face walked quickly from outside the temple into the hall and went straight to the temple master who was standing in the square looking at the statue of the God of Light.
"What happened?"
The hall master looked at the statue of the God of Light calmly without even turning his head. He slowly asked, "Did Alia run away? Didn't you catch her?"
"It's not this matter, it's something more serious!"
The high priest's voice was a little hoarse and trembling, as if he had heard some horrible news.
"oh?"
The Palace Master turned around slightly , with a look of surprise on his old face: "Is there anything more important than Alia right now?"
As long as the Temple captures Alia, it means that in this struggle between the Temple and the Academy, the Temple has the advantage and initiative.
At this moment, the hall master has confirmed that the undead in the forest were summoned by Alia, and all this is a conspiracy of the academy.
Although the Palace Master still doesn't know what the conspiracy of the Magic Academy is, this doesn't stop him from crushing the conspiracy of the Magic Academy!
"Yes Yes……"
When the words came to his lips, the high priest didn't know how to say it, and his forehead was covered with sweat due to anxiety.
The temple master placed his big hand on the high priest's shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be nervous, just speak, my child."
"Something happened in the North."
The high priest calmed down and murmured to himself, "I just received news from Fuying. The Northern City has fallen. Moria is dead. The Northern City has been captured by a group of mysterious and powerful undead summoners."
"That place has become a veritable city of the dead!"
