The World of Evil God game

In confusion and shock, the priest did not go to Alice, but went to the dean immediately.

But when he came to the dean's office, he found a person of a different race appearing here.

It should be a black dwarf. Rosacea and a big beard are the most obvious features of a dwarf. However, the priest has only seen this race in story books in the past, but this time he saw it with his own eyes.

"Ah, Father, what's the matter?" The dean is a tall, thin old man. He has been frowning all year round because of the operating problems of the orphanage, but today he has a smile on his face and seems to be very happy. He introduces the priest: "This is the messenger from the fictional church."

The dean didn't know how to call the black dwarf. It wasn't right to call him a bishop, nor a missionary, nor even a priest. Although the other party told him not to care about these titles, he could just call him a temporary worker.

In the end, the dean decided to call the other party the messenger, which was more formal.

"I want to tell you good news. Our orphanage has received a lot of investment. This is investment from the Fictional Church and other churches. Our orphanage can run better. And they will continue to do so. A joint-branded supermarket will be opened near our orphanage.”

"Supermarket?" The priest tried hard to search his memory. He was sure that he had seen this word while surfing the Internet not long ago. It seemed to be a building facility opened by the fictional church to sell various products.

And the fictional supermarket seems to be accessible online.

"Come, cooperate? But our orphanage doesn't have much funds." The priest was a little nervous. This is just a remote world with no special output. Why would a project as big as the fictional supermarket cooperate with this orphanage?

"Of course you have the most special output. To be honest, although the gods value money, there is another important criterion above money, and that is value."

The black dwarf opened his mouth to explain, stroking his beard: "What the gods value are the children here."

"Child?" The priest suddenly thought of some bad situations, but the black dwarf's next words left him confused.

"Children have wild imaginations, and these imaginations are the value that gods need! From fictional fantasies, everything done in dreams will become real value after being projected into the dream plane!"

"These values ​​are more pleasing to the gods than a few gold coins! The church preaches everywhere. What it does is not only gather faith, but more importantly, the various values ​​​​possessed by believers and even non-believers. Faith is just collecting value. One of the ways.”

"Imagination?" The priest was a little confused: "You mean, the children don't have to do anything. They don't even have to pay any extra price. They just need to fantasize in their minds every day?"

"How can you fantasize every day? Do you understand the balance between work and rest? After fantasizing for a period of time, take a break and then continue fantasizing. This is called sustainable fantasy." The black dwarf immediately corrected him!

The priest looked at the dean, and the dean spread his hands: "I did some research and found that this is probably true."

"I can't imagine such a thing." The puzzled look on the priest's face became more intense, just like when he searched the Internet and found that all the gods were desperate for money, he felt like his faith was shattered.

"So people who are too realistic just can't provide this kind of fantasy value, and their dreams are more rigid. People like you don't have much value at all. Sometimes you have to think more, empty your mind, and look for the past legacy. The dream or wish of falling, just like me." The black dwarf comforted the priest:

"I used to be a factory worker and lived a hard working life every day, but occasionally I would go to major churches to grab magical props and products. At that time, there were no fictional gods or fictional supermarkets. The products of each church were all It’s not very convenient to circulate in a small area.”

"The situation is completely different now. You can do whatever you want through the virtual world. Next, the gods will set up an art star near here. It is a fragment of a whole new era. If you have ever thought about it, If you want to realize your life dreams that have not been realized, go to the Art Star. Your dreams will transcend time and space. From the deep sea to the endless starry sky, the star that can realize all dreams is right above your head. Directly above!”

"But we have to charge an operating fee. Don't worry, the price won't be too high. The gods' pricing of goods and services depends on what the customer orders. Except for the props of the Victory Church, which are fixed prices, they can't come for the time being."

The black dwarf left quickly, and the priest and the dean discussed again.

"I really feel like this is an invitation from the devil." The priest clasped his hands, but the dean did not speak. Instead, he used his unskilled typing method to input on the forum login. In fact, the forum login can also be input through the mind, but The dean feels that that kind of spiritual link is not very comfortable, and sometimes if he loses focus, all the typed content will be cleared.

Dean entered the word devil, and then a lot of search results popped up.

"Which one is the devil you're looking for?"

The dean looked at the stunned priest: "Unlike our local demon stories, the demons in the universe seem to be just a common pan-race, and many beings are called demons."

"Perhaps our local demons also came from the other side of the universe."

The priest once again saw clearly the fact that this world is a remote countryside, but the word beyond the starry sky is too far away and grand. For an ordinary person like him, being able to live a stable and peaceful life is already the greatest thing. of happiness.

But for some reason, the words of the black dwarf came to mind.

A life dream that I once wanted to realize but failed to realize

Priest: "Dean, do you have a dream? Not the current one, but something that has not been realized."

"A dream that has not been realized." The dean sighed: "I used to be a brave adventurer, until I got an arrow in my knee."

"However, there are many adventurers who have been hit by arrows in the knee. I recently found a small forum where there are some former adventurers who have done various jobs after retiring. Almost everyone said that they have a history of being hit by arrows in the knee. Some people I suspect there may be a Knee God in the universe.”

Will the God of Knees let arrows hit the knees? Shouldn't that avoid the knee and go somewhere else? And why is there a god who cares about knees?

The thought of complaining came to the priest's mind, but he never said it out loud.

"When I was young, I listened to those adventure stories passed down by word of mouth, and I thought that taking risks was a very powerful and great thing. But when I grew up and started working as an adventurer, I realized that this job is not only hard, but also basic. You won’t encounter the weird things in the story.”

"The ancient souls of heroes, the halls of gods, the relics of history, the ocean of twinkling stars, the towers reaching the sky, and the steel warships are just stories after all, and real adventurers just spend their days working on trivial things. Running around."

"Until one time I was hired to fight in a war and was hit by an arrow in the knee. I suffered severe trauma during the war and developed hearing problems."

"After retiring, I felt it was time to leave the adventure industry. I started reading and read some ancient classics about the creation stories of our world. I began to believe that there is a god in this world, so I began to believe in him. However, He didn't give me any response."

"Have you read this book? "The Adventures of Ancient Dragon and Steel"."

"No, I didn't." The priest shook his head.

The dean sighed: "This is a book written by an adventurer 150 years ago. It made me yearn for adventure, and I started to search for more adventure books, including fan fiction about this book, and even read those ancient books. The literature ignited my adventurous soul." The dean was very happy, but soon the happy expression disappeared again:

"However, becoming an adventurer was just an impulse when I was young. It was only after reading many books that I found my dream. I wanted to be a poet or a composer, but that was no longer possible."

"I used to always think that I should do something that would leave a trace of my existence in this world, but the reality is too heavy. I think I should give up the unrealistic dream and instead do it in reality. Something I can really do must be within my power.”

"Later, war broke out in several countries. I gathered the war orphans and established this orphanage. I felt that this was what I could do with my power. Later, because I read a lot of ancient documents, So I was often invited by some people to interpret books, and I gradually became famous by helping people interpret documents, and the orphanage was able to operate normally with the funds I earned. "

"You already know what happens after this."

"You are still young. If you have a dream, you might as well give it a try right away. The messenger of God is right. Only children have rich imaginations and are keen to receive new things quickly. And for us He said that he focused more on the reality in front of him and ignored his past life and dreams. "

The priest felt a little sad. It was the first time he knew that the director of this orphanage had such a wonderful past. He was an adventurer and a war veteran. He also had the dream of becoming a poet and composer. He was also a well-read ancient man. Literature scholar.

He lowered his head and felt the power contained in his right hand. In the past, he had to give up his dream of life due to physical disability, but relying on his relatively smart mind, he stood out from the seminary and quickly became an official priest. .

Although the gods in their world almost do not exist, the priest profession can still learn to resonate with the elements, thereby eliminating some hostile creatures entrenched in this world, which plays an important role in maintaining social stability.

Of course, after checking online, the priest understood that the so-called "elemental resonance" should actually be an ability mastered by "magic apprentices". In other words, his power was not brought by the Void God at all. The so-called "theological school" The study is just a normal "magic apprentice's study".

Beyond the starry sky, my profession should be called a wild mage. But mages rarely believe in gods. But those gods don't care.

Maybe this way of getting along with humans and gods is considered normal? The priest couldn't help but have doubts. Facing the impact from the other side of the starry sky, he estimated that the local seminary would soon be unable to sit still. They would either cut themselves off from the starry sky or start promoting the gods over there as evil gods. No, the gods It seems that he was originally an evil god.

After all, people on the Internet say that they are evil, and each one has a unique skill that can bring endless surprises to everyone.

"My current dream is to become an official magician. But this doesn't seem to be a dream. I heard that you can study at a magic academy for a fee, so compared to being a magician, my previous dream was..."

“I want to open a dessert shop and use all kinds of ingredients to create incredible desserts.”

Seeing the somewhat surprised expression on the dean's face, the priest couldn't help but laugh: "But my brain is quite smart, so many people told me since I was a child that I was not allowed to work as a pastry chef. They asked me to study, and I also I have always responded to their expectations. When I was in seminary, eight out of ten subjects scored above 90.”

"But because I was missing a hand, I lost a lot of points in the practical class. Later, they assigned me to this orphanage. I think it's very good here. There are a lot of books to read, and no one will rush me. Me, I have fulfilled their expectations and become a priest through study. When I have nothing to do, I will go to the kitchen and make some bread. This kind of life is not bad."

"The dream of life," the old dean sighed: "How many people have given up on their original dreams due to various practical reasons. Maybe those dreams are inconspicuous and cannot be compared with subsequent achievements, but that may not be what they want. Want the right life.”

At night, the priest took the children back to their respective houses, and Alice greeted him, saying that she would have a better dream tonight, but the priest hesitated and stopped Alice.

"Your judgment is right, there is really something wrong with my robotic arm."

Alice's eyes widened in disbelief.

The priest nodded: "Alice, you have the talent to become a mechanic. Maybe that's the knowledge you learned in your dream?"

"No, I don't know why." Alice scratched her head: "I just suddenly understood the structure of those parts."

"Hmm, could it be that I wanted to be a mechanic and dreamed of a steel mecha in my dream, so I understood the structure of the parts? Then I will read some books about the starry sky tonight. There are many in the library on the forum A book like this, so I can become an astronomer!”

The priest was a little worried: "The forum's virtual library does have a lot of amazing documents and books. It is said that they are books from different worlds in the universe. When viewed in the virtual world, they will be automatically matched and matched according to the viewer's own world language. Adjustment."

"But when I went online before, I saw some bad news. For example, some books may lead to dangerous mysterious creatures that cannot be dealt with. You must be careful when reading books. If there is a risk warning, do not ignore the risk."

"Also. I'm also going to have a sweet dream. It only costs ten silver coins, right?"

That was a life that I had been forced to forget. Maybe everything would be different in this dream?
