On the gray sky.
The cracks like thunder snakes are densely covered, and they are constantly twisting and changing, as if the entire sky will shatter in the next second.
There was no breeze in the air, which gave people an inexplicable sense of depression.
And the desperate cries and pleas make people even more irritated and depressed...
This is a small village located on the side of the main road leading to Saigas City.
On the wide road at the entrance of the village, a woman who looked about twenty years old and dressed as a village woman was hugging the thigh of a man wearing a priest's robe, crying and begging:
"Master Priest, Master Priest, my child doesn't want to be a child of nature. He really doesn't want to be a child of nature. Please don't take him away! Please don't take him away! He is only four years old this year!"
The priest's face was expressionless.
Behind him, there was a row of fully armed soldiers.
Soldiers escorted a carriage filled with young children.
The children were locked in the car, and the cries could be heard in the distance, but the soldiers and priests remained unmoved.
There were many villagers watching around.
Their eyes looked at the carriage and the women with complexity and sympathy, while the eyes at the priests and soldiers were filled with anger and hostility.
However, I dare not speak out if I dare to be angry.
They stood around in silence, watching helplessly as a young child was stuffed into a carriage by the soldiers.
There was a lot of crying.
The priest kicked the crying woman away, looking ahead with empty eyes and a voice without any emotion:
"All children favored by nature are natural dependents under the crown of the God of Creation."
"It is his honor to be a son of nature and to contribute to the resurrection of the true God."
As he spoke, he waved his hands to the other soldiers.
After receiving his order, the soldiers with the same expressionless faces changed their formations.
They drove a carriage, surrounded the priest, turned and left...
Only the woman was left kneeling on the ground, crying in despair.
After the priests and soldiers left, the villagers helped the crying woman with a hoarse voice, and sighs also sounded from the crowd.
"Hey, another one."
"In recent years, the church has gone too far. Will it allow people to live a good life?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, it won't be good if someone who cares hears you."
"Nina is also pitiful. Who allowed her child to be natural..."
"I just hope her children can become priests instead of sacrifices..."
"Who knows, there are so many children who are forcibly taken away every year, but how many priests are there? And look at those callous guys, do you want your child to become such a person?"
"Hey, let's just pray that we don't give birth to a child with natural attributes."
The villagers sighed and shook their heads.
No one noticed that there was an inconspicuous carriage beside them, and they watched the whole process.
In the carriage, Gourd withdrew his gaze and frowned slightly:
"What the **** is this Creation Church doing? Why do I see them forcibly recruiting children everywhere I go?"
The expressions of several other players are not very good either.
It has been three days since they left Shen'en Town.
In the past three days, they could see similar things in almost every human settlement they passed.
Even if they know that this is a game, they have already participated in it, and they can't help but feel disgusted with the clergy of these churches...
Of course, this is also because of the existence of tasks, so players have naturally regarded these ordinary people as their own camp.
If their guess is correct, these humans will probably become believers of the goddess when the matter is over.
It can be said that these humans are potential allies in the future.
For this reason, at the beginning, players would hide their appearance and secretly save the children they saw.
Well...that's how the camp's favorability comes about.
However, after doing this a few times, they aroused the vigilance of the Creation God Cult, which caused the other party to assign soldiers to the clergy.
A few people were worried that if they intervened again, they might alert the enemy, so they had to stop.
However, they are also becoming more and more disgusted with the so-called Church of Creation God.
After listening to what a few people said, the driver explained as he drove on:
"Hey, these adults don't know that this is the church's way of expanding its clergy."
"In the past, when the adults of the God Clan were here, the church was still very desirable, and many people regarded becoming a priest as the highest honor..."
"However, since the Gods retreated to seclusion, the church has become more and more unbridled and degenerate... They have begun to force all children with natural attributes to join the church."
"Those children with potential will be trained by them to become priests who only know how to contribute to the gods, while children without potential will be directly sacrificed to the gods..."
As he spoke, the groom sighed:
"Now, except for the small town of Shen'en who lives in seclusion in the Elf Forest, who doesn't worry about the nature of their children..."
“The church is no longer the church it once was.”
"Then why don't you resist?"
The optimist asked.
"How to resist?"
The coachman shook his head.
"The church controls the most powerful force. Almost all second-level and above professionals come from the church. Who has the ability to resist?"
After hearing what the coachman said, the players looked at each other and fell into silence.
Indeed.
Although the humans in this demiplane have the blood of elves, most of them have mastered a little bit of extraordinary power, but at most they are at the apprentice level.
Very few people step into the black iron.
The Black Iron players that the players saw were all clergy and soldiers of the church, except for the divine elder Rueg.
"Is this the church created by the betrayal of the goddess? From my perspective, there is no difference between this church and a cult."
Chopin shook his head.
Others also showed expressions of approval.
They are no longer newbies.
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!
At this moment, if you don’t know what these church personnel are doing, then they will receive the guidance of the elder sister in vain.
Obviously, this church has long deviated from the path of a normal church.
They have changed from preaching faith to forced brainwashing, from benevolent rulers to cruel exploiters, and will even directly sacrifice suitable children as sacrifices to the gods!
Of course, coupled with the seizure of the life potential of demiplane creatures, it can be said that this "Creation God" has completely stood on the opposite side of the goddess...
The carriage continued to drive for a quarter of an hour, then slowly stopped.
Then, the coachman’s voice came from the front:
"My lords, the city of Saigas is ahead of us, so I won't send you into the city."
He does not know the true identities of the players. He only knows that the players are entrusted by the elders to go to the city to do business.
After listening to the coachman's words, the players looked out the car window and saw a majestic city with a vaguely elf style.
They got off the carriage one after another, and the coachman drove back after saying goodbye to a few people.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
Several players looked at the lunch boxes.
The lunch box reached out and took out a crystal ball from his arms.
At this moment, the ball is shining with a dense light, as if it has received some kind of summons.
This is a task tool given to the players by the divine elder Rueg, which can sense the existence of the Heart of Life.
It is flashing, which indicates that the players are close to the Heart of Life.
Ben Leng held the crystal ball tightly and closed his eyes for a while.
After a moment, he opened his eyes:
"Follow the induction."
The group organized their equipment again and walked towards the city gate.
