Chapter 163: Seal of the Martyr
Next is the routine investigation and review of the dead.
Isabel found the apostle who had not yet sunk into the Sea of Death. After communicating with him, she relayed the story to Lu Yao word by word.
"My lord, this [Xiao Shen] is an apprentice god who only appeared in this era. He is collecting faith to enter the Temple of the Gods as soon as possible."
"He has three miracles. The first is [Miniature], which will shrink the target by a hundred times. Although it cannot affect other attributes, it takes a very long time for the opponent to move. This miracle consumes a lot of faith fire, and each time it is deployed, it needs to rest for a while before it can be used again."
"The second is [Mist Spirit], which can create a [Mist Spirit]. There is no limit to this. The mist spirit can only last for a period of time and then it will disappear."
"The third is [Hurricane], which can control the power of the wind."
Lu Yao heard it.
It seems that he is not really a god of [Whistle Blower].
As a new player, this [Xiao Shen] is quite powerful.
Isabel continued, "Papalucas created a special kingdom of God in the clouds. Its [Clouds and Mist] ability can maintain a small fog island."
"The statue of God Xiao is hidden in the clouds, floating on the edge of this new northern continent."
"Papalucas is a cloud giant. Because of insufficient rainfall in the past, it was punished by the Rose Kingdom and sealed in an ancient bottle. God Xiao found it and released it, transformed it into an apostle, and asked it to maintain the fog island."
"Papalucas found humans from various small islands, and God Xiao then performed miracles and [God's Kingdom] to gradually transform them into believers..."
Unlike the gods that Lu Yao had dealt with before, God Xiao never thought of getting close to believers.
His strategy is to stay high above and always stay in the safe clouds. He asked Papalucas to bring some people to the Kingdom of God in the Clouds, and then perform miracles, creating deterrence and awe through this operation.
The advantages are concealment and simplicity.
Therefore, Xiao's followers are quite scattered. Only the prophet and the hero lead a group of fixed followers, and they are all hiding in the snow mountains all year round.
Xiao launched an attack on the ice and snow giants with the aim of controlling the giant elders, conquering this group of giants, and then driving them to control the entire northern new continent.
After accumulating for a long time, Xiao was ready to leave the edge of the world and march to the land.
As a result, in the first battle, he met Lu Yao who was watching the opening of the Dragon Nest and passing by. It can only be said that he was not very lucky.
There is one thing that Lu Yao cares about.
How did Xiao save so much faith?
Is it just... saving it every day?
"My lord, Papalucas said that Xiao relies on the Holy Scripture to gain more faith."
The so-called Holy Scripture is a ritual created by Xiao.
Papalucas occasionally brings the apostles to the Kingdom of God in the Clouds so that they can worship the statues of the gods. At this time, Xiao will use miracles.
The most common method is to first use a hurricane to sweep a person away, and then summon a [Mist Spirit] to replace the person. Then the apostle tells the little people that this believer has been promoted to a servant of the Kingdom of God because of his devout faith.
Or let Papalucas use [Ride the Clouds and Mist] to control the clouds and mist, creating all kinds of magnificent and magnificent strange scenes, so that the believers can be in it and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
Such personal experience is simply shocking to the little people in the pixel world.
Therefore, the holy book often causes the believers to worship fanatically, and the god Xiao can repeatedly collect faith from the same group of people.
But this does not last long.
Soon the believers have adapted to the power of the gods and it is difficult to generate fanaticism.
After entering the bottleneck period, the growth of the god Xiao's faith has completely stagnated. He then launched external conquests, starting with the ice and snow monsters on the nearest land.
"... God Xiao wants to increase the population and faith through formal external expansion. He wants to concentrate the believers on this land."
Lu Yao understood.
God Xiao wants to go ashore.
The holy book is the [Sunfall Festival] he forcibly created. He was too eager to squeeze the faith of every population, and directly overdrawn the potential of the believers in advance.
Lu Yao still prefers the festivals created by the little people themselves.
Now the [Sunfall Festival] continues to provide him with faith, although not much, only dozens to hundreds at a time. But it is a long-term stream, and it is growing steadily with the increase in population.
In short, Xiao Shen tried to transform from making quick money, but failed.
Lu Yao is very interested in cloud giants.
In the blast furnace world, cloud giants are a kind of natural elves that can make clouds and rain. It is a great waste for Xiao Shen to use it for battle.
Cloud giants are good helpers for farming!
Lu Yao invited the cloud giant, but was politely rejected.
Isabel tactfully relayed: "Papaloukas said that he is very grateful for your recognition and appreciation, but he is really tired of fighting. If he becomes an apostle but does not participate in the battle, it is a dereliction of duty and a shame."
"Xiao Shen fell, and he is no longer willing to fight."
Lu Yao immediately recalled.
Cloud giants have a characteristic of [weariness for war].
No wonder in the blast furnace world, when the blood knights and dwarves were about to get serious, the cloud giants panicked, unwilling to fight, and even took the initiative to negotiate.
Lu Yao retreated to the second best and invited Papaloukas to settle in the ghost city of Saniluo.
There is no need to fight there.
Saniluo is a city where ghosts live. Most of them have experienced various hardships and battles in their lifetime. Now it is considered a nursing home for extraordinary lives. Former apostles like Papaloukas have a gentle personality and are very suitable for that place.
This time Papaloukas agreed.
Isabel brought its ghost all the way into the ghost town.
The cloud giant officially entered Saniro and was warmly welcomed by Mayor Chapman.
Papaloukas became a weather forecaster here, and became a colleague of ground weatherman Shahan, and from time to time, rain fell on the farmland and forest outside the city.
After finishing the follow-up of the God War, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
There are many ways for God players, especially in terms of how to fail, which gave Lu Yao a lot of inspiration.
However, the snowman got a trophy from Xiao Shen, but he didn't have time to see it.
Lu Yao opened the prop bar and found the last one in the long drop-down bar with the mouse.
…
[Martyr Seal LV2]: Faith +1/hour.
Put a seal on the believer, and after a period of time, the believer will become a [Martyr] and complete martyrdom.
…
Seeing this prop, Lu Yao understood everything.
No wonder Xiao Shen's faith rose so quickly in the early stage.
He used the population as fuel. When there is a lack of faith, the believers are directly stamped and turned into martyrs for self-sacrifice.
Most of the gods who enter this fragmented world only regard it as a springboard. They earn their first pot of gold, and when they have enough faith, they ascend to the Pantheon and get a higher ceiling.
At present, only Lu Yao regards this place as his own land and operates it steadily.
Therefore, Xiao Shen wants to create martyrs to drain the last faith, but Lu Yao wants to erase the martyr entry.
Hemi's self-sacrifice is still fresh in Lu Yao's memory.
Most of the little people were very hardworking when they were alive, busy participating in construction and labor, and they should enjoy the fruits of their labor after death. Saniluo is a leisure place prepared for them.
Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to the situation in Saniluo for a while.
Lu Yao turned his perspective to the sky above the ghost town.
This look made him full of question marks.
In Saniluo City, now in addition to the ghosts of the indigenous people, other extraordinary creatures are also swaggering in it, strolling around the streets.
Lu Yao saw sandworms, dwarves, corrupters, cave monsters, and even the previous enemy, the man-eating crabs, and the elves in the far south... They were in groups of three or two, and seemed to have gotten used to wandering around the city.
What is Saniluo doing?
Lu Yao noticed that Mayor Chapman was next to several man-eating crabs.
The mayor introduced: "Saniluo City has a long history and is protected and favored by Lord Yaoshen. It has beautiful scenery, suitable life, and is relaxed and soothing. Friends from all walks of life are always welcome to settle here. It's just that the city is small, so there is a shortage of houses in the city."
"After the unremitting efforts of the citizens, the city has now been expanded, and the construction of the outer city has been officially completed. You are very welcome to come and settle here. As long as you buy a house, you will enjoy the status of a resident of Saniluo City!"
Lu Yao was speechless.
Maybe this is what the mayor thinks alike.
Saniluo has also joined the team competing for population and clearing the city's housing inventory.
Unlike Yancheng, here are all kinds of extraordinary creatures, monopolizing the vast blue ocean, and there are no competitors at all.
Lu Yao is also looking forward to Saniro's future.
