Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 719 The Devil is in the Details

People are just like leaves, no two are exactly alike. Even the mass-produced centaurs in Chiron's laboratory will change in different directions as they grow up because they fall in love with different partners.

But living beings are living beings, and God seems to be another matter.

Michael's facial appearance can be said to be similar to Audrey, no, in terms of seniority, he is exactly the same as Amaterasu, but his temperament is different.

One looks silly, the other looks more holy.

But before that, there is something more important.

Blaze grabbed Greenland's hand and shook it hard.

"Are you possessed by an evil spirit as well?"

"Evil, evil spirit!?" Michael, who was overlapping Greenland, widened his eyes. This was the most humiliating title he had ever heard, second only to "Birdman".

"Evil spirit messengers are attracted to each other." Greenland nodded slightly.

Very good, this urgent battle to decide the winner was interrupted by another plot, so it was a draw. We are all adults, and the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing.

"Anyway, let's leave this place first."

The Eden Six were watching closely not far away. Among them, only the little angel was an upright person who had high standards for his words and deeds. It would be better to say that the little angel was an abstinence NPC rather than a player.

The other five are serious Chaos characters, and they will control their desires when facing NPCs for the sake of reputation. But when facing players... we are all the same, and you should know exactly what we are going to do.

Greenland had no intention of telling the Eden Six about the conversation between Michael and Blaze. Now that the World Championships were getting closer, of course, they had to seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves as much as possible.

"That's true." Blaze nodded in agreement. If nothing else, he could already feel the restlessness coming from the surroundings.

Those are the Crusaders of the Holy Cross Kingdom. This group of people specializes in hunting heretics and can be quite unfriendly.

"My friends, see you in the World Championship!"

Greenland said goodbye to the six people in the distance gracefully with a sacred face.

Only the little angel waved his arms vigorously, showing his satisfaction with the cooperation from his body language to his expression, while the other five people raised their thumbs and stroked their necks.

"Ahaha~ This is the first time in my life that I've seen someone predict his or her own death." Greenland had a calm expression. She originally wanted to attack with her middle finger, but the opponent had many more middle fingers than her.

"Don't let me see you in the battle royale, or you won't even be qualified to enter the elimination round."

Blaze sighed helplessly. The relationship between strangers was always so unpredictable. They were teammates with perfect understanding one second, but mortal enemies the next.

Whether it was Blaze, Greenland, or even the Eden Six, they all thought that the matter had been resolved neatly and just walked away.

But everything that happens in this world is closely connected. Even a stone placed casually under a tree could be a special communication method of an assassination group.

This is the butterfly effect, and also cause and effect.

And everything they did in the city of Anor was planting a huge seed in the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Greenland felt a little palpitation for some reason. It might be because she had been online for too long, or it might be that the [NT]-like foreboding foreknowledge was telling her something. She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the Holy Cross Theocracy, and the big red dragon tattoo hidden under the cat-beast's hair felt like a heart beating.

She seemed to have laid some kind of foreshadowing for herself, but her brain, which had been online for more than 24 hours, was no longer able to sort out the clues.

"Forget it! Anyway, if you notice something is wrong, just assassinate the Pope."

Greenland heartlessly withdrew his gaze from the Holy Cross State, looking forward to the special plot that would happen between Michael and Blaze.

……

In the player forums, the discussion about the Holy Cross Kingdom has never been high, and the entire huge kingdom has always been shrouded in a vague shadow.

Devout believers are like docile sheep, eating the grass that is becoming less fertile. The fences are shaky and ferocious beasts are waiting outside. Not to mention, there are wolves in sheep's clothing among the sheep.

It is clearly a religious kingdom, but it feels like the end of an empire.

This is probably the reason why "Godlock" has a wide audience. Many players who are not interested in adventure and battle but like war will choose the Holy Cross Kingdom as the starting point and enjoy the feeling of the crumbling empire.

It is worth mentioning that none of the players joined in order to continue the Holy Cross Theocracy. They all felt that it was awkward to put the two elements of religion and empire together.

Players are looking forward to witnessing the collapse of the empire. Looking at most games, [collapse of the empire] almost means the end of the game, but it is different in "Godlock".

The death of a giant is like a whale falling, which can bring life to all things. If the Holy Cross Kingdom collapses, it will be easy to get a profession like [Lord/City Lord] that is almost impossible to get.

Even the Freemasons, the largest guild in the Holy Cross and the defender of the Holy Cross, have done nothing but undermine the power of the bishops so that they can quickly gain the trust of the people when the empire collapses.
But so far, no one is willing to be the one who causes the collapse of the empire, and basically everyone is waiting.

But after the [Great Red Dragon Incident], for some unknown reason, an inexplicable atmosphere permeated the towns of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the believers' faith has become more devout, because the civil unrest caused by successive events has also disappeared under this more devout faith.

Except for the players who were planning to shout "Follow me with gun in hand", most of the players did not react much to this matter. They just thought that the Holy Cross Kingdom could not collapse according to the plot, so the convenient setting of faith was used to stabilize the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Occasionally, players noticed that when believers were praying in the morning meeting, the statue of the Virgin Mary emitted a faint light.

【Has this happened before? 】

[Maybe, but I just didn’t notice it.]

Even if a player really went up and touched it out of curiosity, there would be no reaction and soon no one cared.

In the white holy city, in the hall covered with bright red carpet, the withered old man sitting on the Pope's throne in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary was as if he was asleep and there was no movement.

The statue of the Virgin Mary flickered regularly, without any sacred feeling, but rather like some kind of machine.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and his round human pupils stretched into a horizontal shape.
