My players are so fierce.

Chapter 629 628. Travelers of Port Chardeau

Tris has always been a bold character.

When she was the Scarlet Witch, she got into a lot of trouble because of this personality. Afterwards, she was assassinated by Salokdar and spent more than a hundred years in decline and weakness. This personality seemed to have been smoothed out and turned into a salty one.

But there is an old saying that goes, "One's nature is easy to change, but one's nature is hard to change." It couldn't be more suitable to describe Cuisi.

Under her peaceful, salty, and Buddhist appearance, the radical part of the Scarlet Witch has never disappeared, but has only shifted in form.

As the best theologian on the mainland, Tris traveled to the mainland in order to understand the mystery of the gods. I won’t say whether there is an answer for the time being, but in shaping the faith of Holy Light with Murphy, Tris showed great The weird enthusiasm and super boldness really surprised even Murphy.

Two vampires plotting to create a god sounds outrageous enough, but the truth is even more outrageous! This is not a sudden plan, but has been truly advanced to the execution level by Murphy and Trish.

According to Tris, if you want to make a belief come together, you have to either wait for time or take shortcuts.

The former is like the barbarians who have been praising Wamu for hundreds of years, and the latter is like Philip using some sorcery that Tris doesn't understand well to push the Lord of the Hunt into the pre-birth stage with a war during the Fourth Black Disaster. form of filth.

What these two methods have in common is that you must find a group of people with strong beliefs to form the initial "imaginary collective." To put it simply, you must at least know what the god you believe in looks like, what ideas it has, and what it has. What kind of power, what is the goal, what is the doctrine.

It's like making up a story.

But some people can weave a story that echoes the story from beginning to end, and some people can tell a story that is full of loopholes even if they lie to their wives.

This kind of thing itself depends on talent.

Various churches on the mainland finalize canons and doctrines for as little as ten years or as long as a hundred years. It is not easy to create the appearance of a god for the world, let alone find a group of believers who believe in his existence.

If even believers do not believe that a god really exists, then the so-called convergence of beliefs can only be nonsense.

For the creation of gods, establishing an "imaginary collective" is only the most trivial first step. However, being able to accomplish this step in a few months proves that Murphy's players are indeed quite terrifying. A group of people.

When those RP parties came over, they had already established the doctrine, behavior patterns, power forms and goals of the concept of Holy Light, and their overly vivid emotions, stubborn performances and super execution really convinced the locals. The Holy Light really exists.

It can be said that the Riptide Knights achieved a miracle in just a few months.

This progress made Tris very satisfied and made her more and more involved in this matter.

Murphy thought this was a great thing. He had no intention of interfering or stopping it. On the contrary, after Tris gave her advice, he began to think seriously about how to seize the remains of the Lord of Hunting and use it as a container for the Holy Light.

According to Tris, as long as the container is obtained, the Holy Light will have the attribute of "feedback power".

The official name is "The Manifestation of Divine Power."

Once a certain existence in the subspace can bestow its power on a large scale to its believers, other sects on the continent will generally believe that a god is about to be born.

Just like the Lord of the Hunt, although he has not yet awakened, he can already bestow divine power on the Wolfman Priests. This in itself is a manifestation of great power.

You see, Tris has arranged every step of the Holy Light Church. It can only be said that the scarlet witch who made trouble has actually always lived in Tris's heart. She has never been truly killed.

After being in decline for more than a hundred years, the first step for the Scarlet Witch to return to the world was to create a god with her own hands to open the eyes of everyone on the mainland.

Of course, the gods discussed by Tris and Murphy are all gods in the category of belief, and those beings who were given by the Creator to become astral giants before the era are not within the scope of discussion.

They are the kind of people who can maintain their existence without faith.

This is the reason why Vamu and the Lord of Hunting have a relatively low status among the gods. These guys who rely on faith to ascend to the gods have not been recognized by the Creator and have no formal establishment. Aren't they just the little losers of "Yeluzi"? .

While Murphy and the bold witch were discussing how to create a god, little Sharon was also experiencing a similar thing in the distant port of Chardeau.

"The rumor that there is an evil god hiding in Port Chardo is true!"

In the manor of the "Transian Embassy" in the upper town of Port Chardeau, Sharon helped Mrs. Sunny lie down on a chair to rest, while reaching out to caress Mrs. Sunny's growing belly.

Although the mountain people are physically strong and can work and even fight when pregnant, pregnant women need to be taken good care of after all. Therefore, after Mrs. Sunny arrived at Port Chardeau, Professor Malcolm, who was the ambassador of Transia, was temporarily relieved of his duties. Mrs. Sunny's duty as the protector of the embassy requires her to take proper care of herself and the child in her belly.

This child's identity is not ordinary.

After Little Sharon became a vampire and the Sicomaire family became virtually extinct, the children of Knight Valander and Lady Sunny became the next generation leaders of the mountain people in the Ancestral Woodland, especially after Knight Valander became Lin Mu. After becoming the Knight of the Holy Grail, this child's identity as the future "King of the Woodland" has become more stable.

"You went out on an 'adventure' again, Sharon."

Mrs. Sunny has also been suffering from morning sickness recently.

She no longer had the same brave attitude as before. She rubbed her brows and sighed:

"This city gives me a bad feeling. It's very noisy here! The machines of the halflings buzz all day long, and there is no more natural force echoing. I can even hear the screams of nature in my dreams.

The city of halflings is like a steel cage, trapping these souls without faith.

Sharon, you shouldn't be too obsessed with the mechanical charm here.

You are the superior person representing the Blood Vulture Clan and the Mountain People Tribe. You should stay with Professor Malcolm and do some work with him to receive visits. "

"Just because I can, doesn't mean I want to."

Little Sharon rolled her eyes and said:

"Yesterday I went to visit the manor where my mother once lived. It was her distant relative. Uncle Glenn's family welcomed me to live there for a long time. Moreover, Uncle Glenn is the chief of security in the uptown area and has a majestic walking machine under his command. Team!

Those big mechanical spiders equipped with powerful small-caliber rapid-fire cannons are so cool, and I found out that Uncle Glenn had some unclear dealings with the black market masters in the city. After I begged him, he gave me one The special calculation orb allowed me to find some people with great powers and buy a lot of cool stuff.

But that's not what I'm telling you.

What I want to say is, something weird happened to me last night! "

Sharon said mysteriously:

"I was in the mechanical lab at Uncle Glenn's house trying to make a mechanical squirrel as a gift for your kid, but for a few seconds, I swear!

I saw the little squirrel jumping around for a while, and I hadn't wound it up yet!

It has no power to move on its own!

But its location has changed, so I can be sure that the evil god hidden in Chardo Port is real!

The local old mechanics have all seen similar things. Uncle Glenn told me that during a pirate invasion seventy years ago, his walker was destroyed and he almost died.

Guess what at the critical moment?

The bombed walker actually fired forward, saving him and his soldiers. Afterwards, he checked and found that the walker was so badly damaged that it was impossible to open the weapon system.

In short, although outsiders call that mysterious power the evil god, the local halflings don't call it that.

They stubbornly believed that it was some kind of mechanical superior will that roamed every machine in the city. If a mechanic was lucky enough, he could see the coming of that mechanical will with his own eyes.

Of course, the steam lords must deny this statement, but the halflings believe it. Ah, you look so ugly, are you going to vomit?

Wait! "

Little Sharon flew out in a swish, and relied on the vampire's super mobility to fly back with a small basin, so that Mrs. Sunny, whose face was full of color, would not vomit on her.

But Mrs. Sunny's situation is indeed abnormal. This female mountaineer, who was so strong that she could strangle a swamp tiger with her arms, became "frail and sickly" as soon as she arrived at Port Chardeau, the "City of Mechanics", even though everything was fine in Transia.

"This city is going to kill me."

Mrs. Sunny wiped her mouth and complained:

"I shouldn't stay here, no! I must go back to Transia, to the ancestral forest. Staying in my hometown will help my children grow up healthier.

This is not a request, Sharon!

I have to do it!

I suspect that the dreams I had about the wails of the forces of nature were not dreams, but warnings given to me by the forest spirits.

This city is not the right place for me and my kids. "

"That"

Sharon also has some numb claws.

She could feel that Mrs. Sunny was indeed getting weaker day by day after arriving in Port Chardeau. She was a vampire and was very sensitive to life force.

But Mrs. Sunny is an important member of the mission, and she must have Professor Malcolm's permission to go home.

The professor has been running outside basically every day since he returned here. He is responsible for the machinery purchase contract in Transia and obtaining material support from the steam lords. He is so busy every day that it is difficult for Sharon to see him.

He could only temporarily appease the somewhat irritable Mrs. Sunny and use vampire spells to put her into a deep sleep to make her feel more comfortable.

After confirming that Mrs. Sunny was asleep, little Sharon sighed and left the manor, just as the children were being picked up from the affiliated college of Chardoux Artisan University.

Tomorrow is the weekend and these children can move around freely.

The children who were sent back were dressed in college uniforms and greeted Sister Sharon enthusiastically. Little Sharon also had to check their academic performance. This part was not fun.

Especially those guys who couldn't keep up with their study progress looked bitter.

But overall, these kids are very sensible.

They knew the Lord's intention of sending them to Port Chardeau. Everyone tried their best to study, and the affiliated college of Chardeau Artisan University was not just for teaching. The children needed to go to the college one day a week. Factory internship to ensure their practical ability.

Just as Xiao Xuelun was scolding the children who were struggling in their studies and was preparing to give them extra lessons tonight, a black carriage drove into the manor, escorted by several winged cavalry on shadow-maned war horses.

This looks like Professor Malcolm is back.

Speaking of which, because the local halflings and dwarves have never seen the combination of Shadowmane War Horse and Mountain Knight, Professor Malcolm's every trip is like a peep show, attracting many halflings and dwarves to watch.

Their pitiful sizes are not even as high as the legs of the Shadowmane warhorse. Plus, when the burly mountain knights are fully armed to ride the horses, it feels as funny as a terrifying giant entering a human city, and the mountain people An overly rough style also exacerbates the problem.

In the first week after the Transian mission arrived here, every time they went out, some timid halflings would be scared to the point of sitting on the ground crying. After sending many halflings and cowards who were fainted to the hospital for several days in a row, Marco Professor Mu also had to reduce the twelve guards he had with him to four, and this was able to avoid some trouble.

"Sharon, come here."

Professor Malcolm, who had also been running all day today, got out of the carriage with his cane.

He resumed his former scholar's elegant dress in the city, and wore an ambassador's ribbon and badge to represent his identity. With a tired look on his face, he was followed by his deputy minister and his wife, Ms. Funa.

The latter was carrying a briefcase, but the expression on his face was anything but relaxed.

Obviously, today's exchange with a certain Steam Lord was not pleasant, and tonight there will be a banquet at the Embassy Manor to entertain some influential people in Port Chardeau, in order to gain more war support for Transia.

Professor Malcolm has been doing similar things since arriving at Port Chardeau, and so far, the results are pretty good.

Through some previous contacts in the academic world, at least in terms of public opinion in the city, Professor Malcolm has obtained quite good "sympathy points" for Transia. Next, it is time to turn this sympathy into practical help. .

For example, they called on the residents of the city to donate money to the Transians who fought against the Black Disaster Army on their own, and then purchased various military supplies from local factories, etc.

The professor is a literary guy. He actually doesn't like doing this very much, but now he is the only one who can do this kind of thing in this city.

With hope from a place about to be ravaged by war on his shoulders, Professor Malcolm dared not slack off.

"A halfling transportation company called 'Perfect Shipping' sent an envoy to find me today. He conveyed Captain Paula's personal letter, which said that this company has accepted Governor Murphy's call and will use three airships to transport us. The machinery purchased so far is shipped back to Transia.

This was an unexpected surprise. "

As Professor Malcolm untied his tie and walked towards the manor, he said to little Sharon who was following him:

"I plan to ask Funa to escort this batch of goods back to Transia first. You can collect the letters from the children and the mountain knights and let Funa take them back together. There are also those processing items that you purchased specifically for your apprentices. Equipment can also be transported together.

And the various gifts you prepared for everyone. "

"Great!"

Hearing that the gifts she prepared could be sent back to her hometown, little Sharon suddenly became happy, and it seemed that even the smog that always shrouded Port Chardeau was no longer so annoying.

But Sharon quickly thought of Mrs. Sunny, and she told Professor Malcolm about Mrs. Sunny's situation. After hearing that Mrs. Sunny's health problems had worsened, the professor was stunned for a long time.

Finally, after personally asking Mrs. Sunny, he decided to change people and let Mrs. Sunny escort this batch of goods back home. At the same time, he replaced a hussar commander to command the embassy guard.

"You must hand this letter into the hands of Lord Murphy! I have explained in it what we encountered in Port Chardeau. There are several issues that require the permission of the Governor. You can ask Captain Paula to send the Governor's permission to you." Send the reply back.

It is said that the 'Perfect Shipping' company will open a new direct route to Transia in the future, with a round trip once a week. Now the children can also take advantage of the weekend to return home to see their families. "

Professor Malcolm handed a long folded letter to Mrs. Sunny. The latter immediately became happy when she heard that she would be able to return to Transia tomorrow, and even her sickly posture had recovered a lot.

This made little Sharon suspicious that Mrs. Sunny was actually pretending to be ill.

This powerful mountain knight simply couldn't let go of his husband, and he didn't want to miss the next war, so he pretended to be weak.

Wow, even the simple and honest mountain people have learned to use their brains!

Really

Sharon was about to scold him righteously, but suddenly she saw the mechanical squirrel she made yesterday on the table behind Mrs. Sunny suddenly turned its head, and then returned to its original state.

Sharon felt that she might have seen it wrong.

After all, the mechanical squirrel wasn't wound up, but she swore that for a second she did see a strange light flashing in the mechanical squirrel's ruby ​​eyes.

It's the legendary evil god!

It has appeared again!

Zhuo, why are there so many strange things in Port Chardeau?

Ps: There will be an update tomorrow!
