Don't call me evil god

Sam pricked up his ears and tried to listen to the conversations of several people passing by:

"Oh, Brandon is so miserable. He hasn't died for a long time. This time he died a big death!"

"Nonsense! If he doesn't die when he provokes two level 3 monsters at the same time, who will die?"

"But Brother Brandon is really powerful. I feel that if he is stronger, he might be able to kill two monsters at once!"

"No, no, no, I feel it's a lot worse. It's not that easy to deal with two monsters at the same time. Although both monsters have suffered a lot of injuries, they are still far from being seriously injured, let alone being eliminated!"

"I think it should be a problem with the weapon. The level 3 monster is the kind of armored and distorted monster. It's hard for Brandon's big sword to break through the defense."

"I heard that Master Maren is learning the casting magic that uses distorted materials when forging. Maybe Brandon can do it with better weapons in the future!"

"..."

Sam became more and more confused as he listened.

He roughly understood what happened.

These people were probably unlucky. They ran into two terrifying and dangerous level 3 monsters in the dark forest.

The companion named "Brandon" in their mouth should be the main force of the team. He tried to fight the level 3 monster but failed and finally died at the hands of the monster.

The companion may have found an opportunity to bring back the body of "Brandon" afterwards.

But what Sam couldn't understand was:

It's sad and tragic that a companion was killed by a monster, right?

In particular, according to these people's description, Brandon should still be a strong warrior. He was not killed by the level 3 monster directly, but had the strength to deal with it.

To achieve this level, at least you have to be a level 3 warrior, right?

The death of such a teammate is a huge loss to the entire team!

Not to mention the adventurer team.

If the opponent is really a level 3 warrior, he can apply to join the king's army or participate in the hunting month. With the military merits during the monster red tide or the gains in the hunting month, there is a chance to be directly canonized as a kingdom noble!

Such a being died unfortunately, and his companions even had the mood to say "He can win with better weapons in the future"?

The person is dead! How can he change better weapons!

Sam felt a little angry.

Because he didn't feel the strong aura of the 2nd and 3rd level professionals from these passers-by, he estimated that they were about the same as himself, probably at the 1st level?

That Brandon must be the main force in the team!

He could already imagine the scene of the battle.

The companions were scared to death by the terrifying 3rd level monster and fled in a hurry;

Only the main warriors did not give up, mustered up the courage, and used their lives to fight for the chance of survival for their companions.

As a result, after collecting his body, his companions not only had no respect for his feat, but even commented on his death!

The more Sam thought about it, the angrier he became.

He didn't plan to go up and argue with these guys, but just silently remembered their appearance.

He wanted to remember their appearance firmly.

If you want to team up with other adventurers to adventure in the Dark Forest in the future, these guys have been put on Sam's blacklist.

You must not team up with them temporarily, let alone form a long-term team.

They are ungrateful guys at first glance!

...

After the encounter, Sam successfully found the clerk of Warren County and learned about the study of the doctrine of seeking knowledge:

"It's very simple, do you see the largest building over there?"

The clerk pointed to the tall and square stone building in the distance and introduced it to Sam.

The building is located in the deepest part of Warren County, almost next to the gray fog of the Misty Valley. Sam even doubted whether the building was built in the gray fog!

"Every day during the day, there are teachings about the God of Seeking Knowledge."

"Every week at midnight on Sunday, an assessment of the understanding of the doctrine will be organized in the basement of that building, and the score will be given according to the assessment results."

"If your score can reach 90 points or more, it can be considered that you have mastered the doctrine of seeking knowledge."

Sam was amazed.

As expected, the Church of Knowledge is unique in every aspect.

The teaching of doctrine is different from that of other churches.

It was the first time he heard that there was an assessment for doctrine.

The teaching of the Church of Radiant Light is very simple.

There are free public lectures organized once a month;

There are also small-scale doctrine studies that require payment every week.

But no matter which one, the monks in charge of the explanation don't care whether you listen and learn seriously.

They are only responsible for finishing what they should say step by step.

There will be no assessment.

According to the description of the believers of the God of Knowledge, if you want to offer your faith to this god, you have to ensure that you have mastered the doctrine first?

Looking at the tall building at the edge of the gray fog, Sam hesitated a little.

He is an adventurer who has been crawling in the dark forest. He knows the terrifying name of the "man-eating gray fog" outside the misty valley.

What if the gray fog suddenly surges and expands? Wouldn't most of Warren County be in trouble?

He asked about his concerns.

The other party's face immediately showed an expression similar to that of the clerk outside Xiwei County.

He said meaningfully:

"Mr. Sam Doug, please rest assured that since the Church of Knowledge has established its territory here, it has naturally considered your concerns."

"The gray fog is not a threat to us, there is no need to be nervous."

…

After communicating with the clerk, Sam finally decided to muster up the courage to go to the building to take a look at the situation.

The believers of the Seeking for Knowledge Church all look normal. They are not like those cultists who believe in evil gods who often spit out crazy words, nor are they like the kind of insane lunatics.

Since they all said that, there should be some basis that he didn't know about.

"Maybe it's some kind of large-scale magic circle?"

"An extremely rare divine gift?"

Sam pondered all the way and unknowingly arrived at the foot of the tall building.

The top of the building is carved with four majestic golden characters:

"Seeking a way out!"

There are many strange runic circuits drawn around the words that Sam cannot understand, and they seem to be looming with light.

Before he could enter the building, a group of people walking out of the building caught Sam's attention.

The three guys who had just been blacklisted by Sam were happily surrounding a young man with a strong body and a big sword.

"Brother Brandon! You said you could take us to eliminate monsters for free tomorrow, is that true?"

The young man agreed with a smile: "Don't worry! Of course it's true. I'm a little unlucky today. I bumped into two level 3 monsters at the same time. I promise you that the guaranteed 1000 experience is not enough, and I will make it up to you tomorrow!"

Sam:!

What did he see? !

Isn’t Brandon dead?
