783 When is the time for retribution?
"I guess you must know how to be a good god. Can you teach me?" Miranda looked at Roland expectantly.
"I'm not a god, how can I know how to be a God of Order?" Roland laughed helplessly: "If you have time in the future, can you just go and chat with Elise, the goddess of life?"
"She won't dislike me, right?" Miranda seemed very unconfident.
After all, I was a country girl before.
Although she didn't know Roland and didn't know what kind of floating city, at least the main god of order such as life, light, and the God of the Underworld are still clear.
She herself was a pan-believers of life before and had a natural sense of awe for the gods.
Although I am also a god now, my concept of more than ten years has not been changed for a while. I still have exaggerated admiration for the goddess of life.
"It was she who asked me to protect you, so she probably wouldn't refuse your request." Roland smiled.
"That's it." Miranda breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes became more and more anticipated: "Then how should we meet?"
"I don't know." Roland shook his head: "At least I have never seen Light, or the two magic goddesses are the body of their own gods at will. Light also descends to the main plane with their divine clones, and it is on their own territory. Sophie, the body of the Goddess of the Underworld, has come out once, or you should ask her."
"You don't allow me to leave the kingdom of God casually, what do you ask?"
This is indeed a dead knot, Roland sighed: "I'll ask for you if you have the chance."
"Great, you're such a good person." Miranda looked at Roland with great gratitude: "By the way, can you teach me some knowledge? The mage is the wisest group of people on the main plane. Can you tell me your opinion on pain?"
A painful view.
Roland looked at Miranda opposite him.
This girl has just become a god not long ago and looks very simple. Roland doesn't know how she corrected the God of Pain into the God of Order, but he knows that it's best not to ask about this.
Probably what a secret.
He looked at the girl suffering, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I don't have much understanding of pain. But I have seen a little bit of similar content."
"Yeah, please say it." Miranda's eyes were bright.
"The wise men in my clan divide pain into physical and spiritual categories. At first we thought that mental pain was greater than physical pain, but later we found that this was wrong."
When Miranda heard this, she widened her eyes: "But the books I read before said that brave men and knights can use their spirit to suppress pain, and even reach the point where the mind completely controls the body."
"But in fact that's wrong." Roland said lightly: "Some people with very strong mental health can indeed ignore the pain in their bodies for a short time, but that's only for a short time. If the body suffers for a long time, it will eventually affect the spirit. More or less mental illness will be caused. Lichs are typical examples. They have no body and are essentially the ultimate pain in their bodies. What do you think of the lichs' behavior habits? Similarly, long-term mental pain will also affect the body, such as weakness, insomnia, depression, etc. If the time goes by, it will be more serious illness, such as slow colitis, etc."
Miranda nodded: "That is, physical pain and mental pain are equal?"
“Yes. At least that’s what the wise among our Sons of Gold think.” Roland explained: “Real health is the unity of the mind and body.”
Oh... Miranda doesn't understand.
Then Roland told her some plausible truths about the derivative meaning of the word pain.
For example, "negative emotions can cause mental pain, but it is more of the pain caused by failing expectations." "So contented people will be less likely to suffer mentally, but this will bring problems such as being willing to be dull and stopping. Therefore, how to deal with your own expectations is very important, and so on.
To be honest, these things are transformed from some spiritual chicken soup in the real world.
But Miranda listened with relish.
This is mainly because she has seen too little world, and her current believers... In this feudal lord world, women's average knowledge and ability are far lower than that of men.
And the amount of knowledge of the god comes from believers.
The miserable girl's swears that only women should protect, which has caused her orthodox believers to be destined not to have too many, because she targets a large number of believers and overlaps with female believers such as light, life, and death.
The population of this world is limited, and Datou has been almost completely "discarded" by the four main gods of Order. She can attract some women who live in difficult areas or live miserable lives to believe in themselves.
But the number will not be too large.
Miranda subconsciously knew her limitations, so she kept asking questions about Roland.
Knowledge is a luxury in this world, even gods are difficult to obtain, and it depends on time to endure it little by little.
After saying the pain, Miranda was still unsatisfied, so she asked some strange questions that most Roland could answer unless it was too difficult to answer.
For example: Can the divine nature of a god be taken out and exchanged for others?
Roland naturally didn't know about such a problem.
When Roland answered Miranda's doubts, the players were in a panic.
'Because Roland's strategy progress is too fast, our title system can no longer match his speed, so now it is lagging to release an announcement: Roland and Andonara (NPC) kill the bitter evil god in the Void Star Realm and get the title of God Slayer, with the specific attributes being kept confidential.'
Almost all players were speechless when they saw this news.
There is a 'as it really', but still unacceptable expression.
In fact, since Roland opened the floating city, it has become a non-human existence in the hearts of most people.
Now, the God-Slaying God is not surprising, but what is unexpected is that there are only two people.
Last time, O'Neal and others organized nearly hundreds of people and more than one hundred legends to kill the gods, but they failed.
Besides, the one who killed the Elf Goddess clone.
In terms of quantity and killing quality, it is far inferior to killing evil gods in the Void Star Realm.
The former is less than one-tenth of its original body, while the latter is in its heyday in the Void Star Realm.
Then the difference in number of people is more than one thousand people vs two people.
This is no longer the difference between humans and dogs.
It's the difference between humans and roundworms.
At least many players see this.
‘Suddenly, I felt that this game was boring. People fought for a breath, and Buddhas fought for a stick of incense. The gap between the first and second is so far, how can I play it?’
‘I live in the party, it doesn’t matter. I even admire him. It feels really good if a person who has no krypton gold to press a group of rich second-generation rich tyrants to the ground to rub it.’
‘To be honest, it’s not surprising that Roland can kill the evil god, but the progress is faster than the official strategy plan, that’s outrageous. Is he the illegitimate son of the game designer?’
'I'm curious. What will happen to the Cornucopia Guild, which said before, that I would never stop with Roland? Do you still have the confidence to argue with Roland?'
‘I haven’t heard from them lately.’
‘The guild is gone, it’s collapsed.’
‘What’s going on?’
Then an informed player made another post to popularize science.
Three months ago, Charles, the president of the Cornucopia, clamored to let Roland look good and remained unrest, and they were indeed taking action.
But within two days, Roland's suppression came out.
First, the Holewen royal family interrupted their cooperation with the Cornucopia Guild and gave in detail the evidence of Cornucopia tax evasion.
It also announced that if Charles does not pay the tax, he will be wanted.
As a last resort, Charles had to pay taxes. He did evade taxes and thought he was doing it without anyone noticing.
I thought the world's low tax inspection system was not available.
But the problem is... the royal family also hired many players as staff members, but there were many people in it who knew how to check taxes.
Then there were people from the Cornucopia Guild, who were hunted by the Assassin Union.
All the senior officials were assassinated. It was not counted if they were killed. They even cut off their heads and didn't know where they were sent.
The level of the senior management has dropped by five or six levels.
Afterwards, all the taverns in Holeven began to write about the gossip of the Cornucopia Guild, all of which were negative.
What are tax evasions, what are you using despicable means to conduct business transactions, using inferior products as good products, or using contract calculations to deal with your home, conducting commercial frames, etc.
Under the triple blow, the people's hearts of the treasure pot dispersed. Even if Charles used heavy wages to make a profit, a large number of people still ran away.
From the beginning of the attack to the dissolution of the guild, it did not last until three months.
Charles has already cancelled his account. He is at level zero anyway, and he is also being remembered by someone. It is better to change the account and start over.
‘No wonder prices have stabilized recently.’
‘I just said that capitalists who engage in monopoly are indeed not good things. It will be normal for the market to collapse.’
In fact, let alone players, even the merchants in Holewen's entire country felt that the mountains above their heads had been moved away.
NPC businessmen have long complained about the Cornucopia, but because Cornucopia is the "Son of Gold" chamber of commerce, no one dares to mess with it.
Now it turns out that no one who dares to provoke the power of the Golden Son will end up well.
The vampires were gone, and the robbers of Holevin Trap were almost dead.
The gangsters in the city were even more like being cut off from leeks.
Anyway, wherever the son of Gold goes, public security has been greatly improved.
More importantly, these gold sons don’t know why, but are particularly good to the untouchables. They pester them every day and ask: Is there anyone bullying you? If there is any, just say it. Let’s vent your anger.
Nowadays, wealthy businessmen and nobles have learned to hold up their butts and behave like humans after eight years of beating.
Even the treatment of slaves has improved a lot.
It’s not okay to not hold your butt up. The number of legendary people of the Son of Gold has exceeded 100, and a large number of master-level powerful men are everywhere, which is noisy than dogs.
When Holeven was already the back garden of the players, a strange team walked through the mountains and woods, and then came to the outskirts of the Wetlands.
After a brief rest, they took off their disguised coats and came to the gate of the Wetland City openly.
The Wetland City is now the most important business center in Holevin.
The throughput of the population trucks is amazing, and businessmen and travelers line up to enter the city 24 hours a day.
When these people appeared at the city gate, the excluded merchants first had a brief commotion, and finally they walked to the side with tacit understanding and gave out the passage.
Can be collected!
The guards responsible for defending the city were nervously arranged into two snooker formations, blocking the door.
Outside the city gate, there is a full-scale armed elves.
The squad leader wearing standard military armor stood in front of the door, generously, but said in a faint tone: "Elf? You guys are not good at seeing the visitor. Is there anything wrong?"
"I am Ans." The leading young elves bent down slightly: "One of the current members of the Presbyterian Elf Clan, who represents the will of Mother Tree, comes to negotiate with the lord of the Wetland City!"
"Mother Tree?" The team leader is a player. Now many players don't want to take risks. They work in the army and receive a good salary: "Are you talking about the World Tree?"
"Yes." Ans said with a cold face: "A few months ago, some of your Golden Sons invaded our tribe and inhumanely killed a large number of civilians. Even assassinating our queen is already a shame for our elves. We need an explanation now."
"Your queen died by offering sacrifices on her own." The player chuckled.
"You also participated in the invasion at that time?" Ans's expression became extremely cold. His right hand, holding the Green Vine Staff, had obviously turned white because he tried too hard.
"That's not. I'm too weak and I'm not qualified to play." The player smiled and said, "But I've seen the video... It's the magical image you elves mentioned in the past, and you know the approximate situation of that battle."
Ans' expression was a little better, and he said, "Then please notify the lord of this city and let him come out to greet us!"
"Welcome?" The player smiled and shook his head: "I will report your affairs to the city lord, please wait."
Then the player turned around and rode away at a fast speed... He was a lancer.
Ans led a thousand elves to block the door and waited quietly.
And there are more and more horse-drawn carriages and travelers blocking the business roads.
At this time, another player wearing standard armor stood up and said, "I am the deputy captain of the City Guard Brigade and a friend of the Elf Messenger. Can you let your team give in? We need to clear the traffic."
Ans squinted his eyes and looked at the other party for a while, then asked unhappily: "Do you think these civilians, or merchants, are more important than a thousand elves? More important than a thousand Avengers who come with rage?"
"Yes. They are more important than you." The deputy captain smiled happily.
Not to mention Ans, all the elves who could hear their trade showed extremely angry expressions.
Many elves took out all their bows and waited for Ans to give the order.
But at this moment, a transparent figure suddenly appeared beside Ans.
Chapter completed!
