Game of the World Tree

The underground world is always so dark and dark, only the fluorescent stone at the top of the cave brings a little light to the world.

The Deep Cave, Black Rock City.

Since a group of strange elves came here, it has become more and more prosperous.

In the city, a tall elf has become an eye-catching sight.

In fact, it is also impossible not to pay attention.

The elves have always been tall and slender, no matter male or female, the minimum height is not less than 1.7 meters, and all of them are outstanding in appearance, while the tallest among the dark dwarves is not more than 1.5 meters, and the average height is only 1.5 meters. One meter three.

Black Rock City, which is suitable for dwarves to live in, actually looks small and exquisite on the whole. The elves walk in the city, but one side is set off taller, while the other side is shorter, the contrast is more and more obvious...

The dwarves have come to accept the elves who visit Black Rock on a daily basis.

For ordinary dark dwarves, these elves are much better than other mercenaries in the underground world. They unload their weapons when they enter the city, and they will not gather a crowd to make trouble. On the contrary, they are very polite to the dwarves... This is something that many mercenaries cannot do. However, the elves did it very naturally, without any hesitation.

And if you happen to be a dwarf blacksmith, you will find that they have become more polite, and they will even pursue you, worship you, and take the initiative to do all kinds of things for you... just to ask you to point out the skills of forging craftsmanship.

The dwarves' forging house has long been surrounded by elves, and the dwarves are flattered by the elves' admiration and enthusiasm for learning the dwarves' forging technology, but they are also complacent.

Of course, what made the dwarves even more happy was the goods brought by the elves.

Tough spider silk, plain wheat, fast-growing rice, sweet potato... and all kinds of fruits that dwarves have never seen, but taste very good.

These are either underground products that dwarves can't get, or special products originating from the above world. They are brought into Black Rock City bag by bag by elves, and they trade ores, magic materials, rare metals, and even some forging knowledge with dwarves, causing countless darkness. The madness of the dwarves.

When Zero came to Black Rock City, what he saw was such a lively scene...

The God-Blessed Zero, or... the incarnation of Eve.

That's right, Zero is the incarnation of the true god constructed by Eve with the Soul Storage Orb as the core!

However, when she changed her appearance, she retained the characteristics of the elves.

This time, Eve decided to send out the avatar directly, and even put the identity of the avatar on the label of the favored person, but also has some considerations...

In contact with other followers of true gods, this task Eve cannot be assured for players to do, and Eve's followers are not suitable for it.

The most suitable thing to do, after thinking about it, it is the safest to open a small vest yourself.

And labeling his vest as a God-Blessed One is also for Eve to lead the players better.

The guidance of system tasks and the guidance of NPCs are good, but sometimes Eve really needs to take action in person to control the actions of the players more accurately, or to have the most important initial communication with other true god forces.

It's just that it's a bit too cheap to end up as a true god. At this time, putting on a vest is a good choice.

The true God is still the one who is aloof and full of force.

It's just that his subordinates have another fanatical god-blesser who has released tasks.

Of course, the vest Eve set for herself was also the third purple NPC besides Saint Alice and Spider Queen Rose!

When Eve entered Black Rock City with Zero's vest, it did not attract the attention of other players and dwarves.

She was wearing a black skirt and carrying a fine and sharp long sword on her back, struttingly walking on the street, admiring the customs of Heiyan City.

And everyone seems to have not seen her, just still doing their own thing.

Even those pedestrians on the road unconsciously made way for her, but they didn't realize why they wanted to make way, and for whom they made way...

And Eve was so straightforward and swaggering all the way to the dark temple in the center of Black Rock City.

This dark temple is a landmark building in the entire Black Rock City.

The architectural style of the entire temple is completely different from that of the dwarves' Black Rock City, which is dignified and dignified. The main body of the building is made of stone bricks, carved with exquisite patterns and reliefs, the keynote is black, with a touch of solemnity and chill...

In front of the temple, there is a small fountain, and in the center is a statue of a goddess wearing a black robe, holding an orb and a sickle.

This should be the statue of Hela.

Eve thought.

She looked at the pedestal of the statue, and sure enough, she saw two lines of words made up of Dwarven and Common—Death is the end and the beginning.

This is one of the most famous and widely circulated words of the Church of Death...

If it is placed in Eve's natural religion, it is somewhat similar to "May nature be with you", or "Goddess of life bless you" or the like.

Eve looked at the statue for a while and then turned her eyes away, looking up at the temple belonging to Hela, the god of death.

In her sight, this solemn temple was a little different.

She could "see" that this temple was like a huge light source in the dark, and it seemed to radiate a huge network, shrouding the entire Black Rock City, and there were flashing photons all the time around. The temple gathers together...

This is the energy of faith.

As the true god who has opened up the kingdom of God, Eve can see the belief energy and belief network that the world cannot see.

This temple is the belief center of Black Rock City.

The belief center weaves a huge belief network, which absorbs the belief power of the dark dwarves and stores it in the temple.

If Eve's guess is correct, there should be a god statue in the temple dedicated to storing the energy of faith, which is the core of the center.

In fact... Eve used the same routine when collecting the energy of faith.

The statues that Alice built for her have the function of collecting beliefs, and they are also the core and nodes of the belief network.

In addition to collecting beliefs, these idols as nodes of the belief network can also form the protection area of ​​the true god that radiates an area, that is, the sphere of influence of the true god.

Within the sphere of influence of the true God, the communication between believers and the gods, and the prayer and meditation of the shepherd, priest or priest will be more efficient.

In addition, the true god can also use the divine power to directly turn this area into his control area through the god statue!

Although it is not the realm of the gods, it can also allow the true god to know the area well, or to perform the divine descending technique, and to descend his favored ones...

Of course...because of the need to cross the border, for the true gods, this operation will be very expensive, so generally, no true god will do this.

Except for Eve, who is on the same plane as the temple...

The demigod Walker, the totem guardian that Eve killed at the beginning, was actually the Night Wanderer who used a statue of Uller that the cave tribe had prayed for for hundreds of years as the core, and used other magic materials to construct the True God Summoning Array. , was summoned.

For this reason, the Night Wanderers directly consumed the power of belief that the cave tribe had accumulated in the idols for a long time.

However, in addition to these functions, believers can also use a similar method to stimulate the power of faith in the statue, so that the temple has powerful power, build a large-scale defensive magic, or cast a fatal attack. !

It is also for this reason that when hostile forces attack any city with a temple, they must first find a way to destroy the statues in the temple.

Otherwise, you must consider how to defend against the temple's counterattack, or how to break the temple's defense.

If the orcs used the god statue to perform defensive magic at the last moment, they would not have been chased and killed so badly by the black dragon Merrill, but could have withdrawn some more clansmen relatively calmly...

It's just that everything is impossible, and choosing to summon the demigod Walker means that the energy of the idol will be exhausted.

When observing the Shrine of the God of Death, Eve was a little surprised in her heart.

She noticed that the core of belief in the Shrine of Death in Black Rock City seemed to be dimly lit, and the belief network was crumbling...

This situation shows that the energy of the statues in the Temple of Death that stores the power of faith may not have accumulated much, or it has already been used up.

Is it because of the existence of the Lord of Shadow believers that the Church of the Death God has not fully grasped the Black Rock City?

Or has the Church of Death used the power of faith in the idols?

Eve frowned slightly.

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she had some guesses.

I saw Eve put away her gaze, and then stepped gently into the temple...
