Game of the World Tree

Figures like Old John are not uncommon in the entire empire.

And among them, there are some tall figures.

In the western part of the Holy Mania Empire, in a large city with a population of over 200,000.

At the northern end of the city, in a dilapidated and dirty urban area.

The low-rise buildings are full of the sense of age, the privately built dangerous buildings can be seen everywhere, the pitted roads are in disrepair, covered with dirty puddles, and the garbage discarded in the corners almost piles up into mountains.

There were buzzing flies in the air, and there was a sour smell of corruption, but the residents living here have long been used to it.

They were in ragged clothes, with yellow faces and thin skin... They were either curled up in a corner, or sitting in a half-opened dangerous building, constantly busy in their hands, doing simple tasks such as weaving grass.

This is a world that seems to have been forgotten.

Only the laughter that sounded like a silver bell from time to time brought a little color to this world.

It was some young children. They were thin, but their eyes were still pure and bright. I saw them jumping around beside the stinky ditch, playing and playing. Although they were wearing tattered clothes, they were happy like a little angel.

This is a slum.

And slums like this can be seen almost everywhere in the cities of the Holy Mannian Empire.

Most of the people living here are bankrupt farmers, craftsmen, some disabled professionals, low-level mercenaries and so on.

They are beings forgotten by this world.

No one knows how the earliest ghettos came to be.

However, in the various historical records of the empire, since the center of the empire began to confer a large number of nobles and expand the city, there have been more and more such dilapidated urban areas.

Some evolved from old towns with poor repairs and aging public facilities; some were formed by farmers who were forced to come to the cities to seek livelihoods after the aristocrats occupied the land and lost their land for survival.

The nobles hate these areas and never set foot here, and the rich people in the inner city are also afraid of the security here, and rarely come here...

Suddenly, a figure wearing a hood appeared on the street in this area.

Seeing this figure, the eyes of the children playing brightened, and they immediately surrounded them, and even the eyes of the poor in the corner were a little more colorful.

"Lord Cyber! You are here!"

The children exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing their cheers, the hooded figure stopped slightly.

He loosened the hat on his head, revealing a half smiling handsome face.

"Lord Cyber... It's Lord Cyber!"

"Lord Cyber ​​is so beautiful!"

The children's eyes lit up.

Cyberspace, on the other hand, gently waved to everyone.

Gradually, as if a pebble was thrown into the calm lake, the entire lifeless ghetto gradually came to life.

More and more poor people gathered, and their eyes were a little brighter, like light in the dark.

The fastest runners are the children.

They quickly gathered in front of Cyber, with excitement and anticipation in their eyes:

"Lord Cyber, you... I have already memorized what you said last time!"

"Lord Cyber... What are you going to tell us this time?"

"Can you tell me more about Fengyue's free leadership?"

"No, I want to hear the story of the Frost Spirit!"

The children were chattering and excited.

However, they soon ushered in an old scolding:

"What are you doing buzzing around? Lord Saibo is our honorable guest, so be obedient!"

It was an old man with white hair, he was like a piece of dry and cracked wood, and the bottom of his right leg was empty, leaning on a cane to support his body.

However, there was a strong momentum on his body. As soon as the words came out, the children instantly quieted down and became honest. Only when he couldn't see it, he pouted and vomited at him. Tongue, or make a face.

The old man is a disabled professional and the most prestigious person in the slum.

I saw him limping to the front of Cyber, holding a cane in one hand, and the other hand tremblingly drew a non-standard life scepter symbol on his chest:

"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree... Goddess Eve!"

"Lord Cyber, we have prepared the room, what are you going to tell everyone today?"

The old man looked expectantly at Cyber.

The other poor people also looked at him with eager eyes.

I saw Saibo smiled slightly, took out a crystal projection gem from his arms, and said:

"I brought some image stones today, and I'll show you some information about Fengyue's free leadership."

"Furthermore, continue with the last lesson and analyze the seventh chapter of the appendix to the Holy Codex: Life, Rights and Struggle..."

After listening to Saibo's words, the eyes of the poor became more and more anticipation. They surrounded Saibo and came to the most stylish house in the civilian area.

Speaking of style, it is only relative to other buildings in the slum.

In fact, this is an abandoned chapel that once belonged to the god of trade.

Of course, this place has been completely abandoned by the priest now, and even the statue and the holy emblem have long been taken away.

The chapel was cleaned very cleanly, and a few bunches of freshly picked wildflowers were placed on the windowsill. clothing.

In the center of the church, there is a small wooden statue, the statue is none other than Eve.

Of course, if you look closely, you will find that this statue is different from the statues enshrined in the Church of Life. It has no light of faith, has not been blessed by the goddess, and cannot communicate with the gods based on this.

But as a spiritual sustenance, as a thing of faith enlightenment, it is enough.

As Cyborg entered the chapel, more and more poor people came.

Soon, the entire church was packed, and even the windows were full of heads.

However, although more and more people gathered, everyone was very quiet and looked at the cyberspace in the center of the church with expectant eyes.

Saibo smiled slightly, facing the statue of the goddess, bowed gently, and drew a symbol of the scepter of life on his chest:

"Praise the goddess!"

And soon, all the poor people followed suit and said in unison:

"Praise the goddess!"

Cyber ​​nodded lightly, took out the projection stone from his arms, injected magic power, and threw the magic image on the wall, smiling slightly:

"Everyone has always been very curious about the free leader of Maple Moon. Before starting today's class, I will show you a magical image of the free leader of Maple Moon."

"Maple Moon Free Territory is one of the best areas to practice goddess beliefs. I think... After watching this video, everyone will definitely have a deeper feeling for the power of the Church of Life..."

After finishing speaking, Cyberspace activated the magic and played the video.

This video was specially recorded by the players, showing all the beauty of Maple Moon Freedom to the world.

Even Cyborg himself, after watching this magical image, couldn't help but feel a little yearning for Maple Moon's freedom.

There is no doubt that for the vast majority of the poor in the empire who have never seen much of the world in their entire lives, the rapid development of the Maple Moon Free Territory depicted in the image, the peace and prosperity depicted, and the shock and impact brought by it. Absolutely unparalleled.

And all of this is brought by the great world tree, the great goddess of life Eve.

The magical influence played slowly, and the poor watched with wide-eyed, hungry eyes.

When they saw the hot air balloon and airship rising into the sky in the image, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

When they saw the nightfall of Zerolan, the dream-like magic lights, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

And when they see the interview with the refugees in the video, and see the other party, who has changed from a fugitive with nothing to a decent and wealthy new citizen in less than a year, they will show surprise and yearning... …

Facing the scorching gazes of these poor human beings, Cyborg felt a little sighed in his heart.

Before entering the human kingdom, due to the background of the game "Even Kingdom", he had always had no good feelings for the empire, nor for the civilians of the empire.

However, after gaining a deep understanding of the society of the human empire, Cyborg discovered that most of the people were just poor people who were oppressed by the nobles and were tired of making a living.

He vaguely remembered that when he came here half a month ago, the residents here were still very vigilant against him, and now, they finally accepted him.

Of course, this is also inseparable from his day-to-day efforts in the past half month.

Taking a look at his system message, the completion of the system task has reached 95%.

That mission is nothing else, it is a missionary mission that has been quite popular among priest players in the game recently.

However, unlike the previous missionary missions, this missionary mission was aimed at the civilians of the Empire.

And as a gold professional, Cyber ​​accepts the most advanced one

[High Priest Trial Mission: Spark of Fire]

The goal of this mission is to develop at least 500 life believers in the empire, so that the other party can identify with the goddess's beliefs from the heart and be willing to fight for the goddess.

The biggest difference between this mission and the previous missionary mission is that it mentions that new believers should develop a fighting spirit to fight.

This is not something that the missionary boss Demacia can do simply by fooling around, but to make new believers understand the goddess's teachings and awaken the courage to fight against the nobles...

Cyber ​​has no doubt that the plot of "Even Kingdom" is about to progress to the transformation and war of the human kingdom.

For this matter, he is still looking forward to it. It is also quite exciting to be able to personally participate in a change in the game and lead the NPCs to create a new era.

As for the spread of personal prestige and the massive rewards of the system during this process, he doesn't take it seriously.

No way, the frost elves gave too much...

Cyber ​​thinks he's out of bad taste.

There is no pressure to contribute, no pressure to upgrade, no pressure to prestige and fame, and now he just wants to pursue some more advanced fun...

And what he wants to do is to leave his own name not only in the forest of elves, but also in the entire "Even Kingdom", in the history of human beings.

This will give him a great sense of accomplishment, especially when he sees his power changing the game's plot... just like the return of the Frost Elves.

In half a month, Cyber ​​has completed the target of developing believers, and the rest is to completely stimulate the fighting spirit of believers.

If nothing else, wait until the end of today's course, the task can be successfully completed.

The magic image played for a full twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes later, the image slowly dissipated, and the poor people showed unfinished expressions.

In the church, it was extremely quiet, and every poor person who came to listen to the teaching showed yearning and hope...

Seeing their fascinated look, Saibo smiled slightly and took out the materials he had prepared.

"The miracle of the Maple Moon Free Territory is also obtained by the people of the Maple Moon Free Territory through arduous struggle."

"The empire is declining, the nobles are degenerating, the church is decaying..."

"Only by uniting, only by choosing to fight, can it be possible to overcome obstacles in this dark age, to walk an unprecedented path, and to create a world without oppression, rich and happy..."

Saibo said solemnly.

Hearing his words, the poor were thoughtful.

"Lord Cyber... Then you say, what should we do?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"That's what I'm going to talk about next."

Saibo smiled slightly.

With that said, he took out three new textbooks.

One is "Life, Rights and Struggle" written in gilded characters.

One book, titled "The Theory of Life Church and the Thought of the Free Leader of Maple Moon".

The third book is called "The Relationship between the Feudal Nobility and the Eternal Church".

They are all works created by the players.

Full of mischief everywhere.

Saibo opened the textbook and began to tell the story in cadence in a way that the uneducated poor can understand according to the guide posts provided on the official website.

And along with his narration, the poor people are sometimes thinking, sometimes in a trance, sometimes enlightened, sometimes excited...

I don't know how long it took, but with a light beep of the system, the prompt for the completion of the task sounded.

At this moment, the poor people have gradually become agitated, and the old man who used to be a professional at the head even blushed and clenched his fists:

"That's what it is... that's what it is!"

Seeing the more and more intense light of faith in everyone, Cyber ​​is also very gratified.

However, just when everyone started to discuss passionately, suddenly, a scream came from outside the chapel.

Saibo frowned and looked at the door of the church, and the next moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

In the sight of fear, hostility and panic of the poor, a team of judge knights in silver armor appeared in the sight of everyone.

The leader is a tall priest in black robes, with strong strength, which brings a great sense of threat to Cyber.

I saw his eyes swept coldly across everyone present, and finally stopped at the dignified Cyber ​​​​and the goddess statue beside him.

His expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Arrest this heretic who deceives the world!"

The black-robed priest snorted coldly and ordered.
