Chapter 444 The Fallen Church
On the gray sky.
A series of cracks like raser were covered with hideous cracks and constantly twisted and changed, as if the entire sky would break in the next second.
There is no breeze in the air, which brings people an inexplicable depression.
And the desperate cry and pleading made people feel even more irritable and depressed...
This is a small village located on the side of the main road leading to Segs City.
On the wide road at the entrance of the village, a woman who looked about twenty years old and dressed in a village woman hugged a male wearing a priest's robe and cried and begged:
"Master Priest, Master Priest, my child doesn't want to be the son of nature, really doesn't want to be the son of nature. Please don't take him away! Please don't take him away! He is only four years old this year!"
The priest had no expression on his face.
Behind him was a row of fully armed soldiers.
The soldiers escorted a carriage full of young children.
The children were locked in the car, and cries came from afar, but the soldiers and priests were unmoved.
There were many villagers watching around.
Their eyes looked at the carriage and women with complexity and sympathy, while the eyes looked at the priests and soldiers with anger and hostility.
However, dare not speak out.
They stood around silently, watching a young child being stuffed into a carriage by soldiers.
There were crying sounds.
The priest kicked the crying woman away with one kick, looking ahead with an empty look, and the voice was not filled with emotion:
"All children favored by nature are natural relatives born under the crown of the Creator God."
“It is his honor to be a son of nature and to contribute to the recovery of the True God.”
As he said that, he waved his hand to the other soldiers.
After receiving his order, the soldiers who were also expressionless changed their formations.
They drove their carriages, surrounded by the priests, turned around and left...
Only the woman was left kneeling on the ground and crying in despair.
When the priests and soldiers left, the villagers helped the hoarse voices of the crying woman, and sighs also sounded among the crowd.
"Oh, another one."
"In recent years, the church has become more and more excessive. Will it still make people live a good life?"
"Shh, whisper, it's bad if you're heard by someone who is interested."
"Nina is also pitiful. Who made her children natural..."
"I just hope that her child can become a priest, not a sacrifice..."
"Who knows, there are so many children who are forcibly taken away every year, but how many priests are there? And look at those ruthless guys, would you like your children to be that kind of person?"
"Hey, I'd better pray that I won'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, watching the whole process.
In the carriage, Hulu retracted his gaze and frowned slightly:
"What the hell is this Creation Church doing? Why do you see them recruiting children every time you go to a place?"
The other players' expressions were not very good either.
It has been three days since they left Shenheng Town.
During these three days, almost every human settlement they passed by could see similar things.
Even though they knew this was a game, they had already substituted themselves in, and they couldn't help but hate these clergy from the church...
Of course, this is also because of the existence of the mission, which makes players naturally regard these ordinary people as their own camp.
If they had a good guess, and when things were settled, these humans would likely be transformed into believers of the goddess.
Not to mention that they also have the bloodline of elves, which belong to half-elves whose bloodline has been diluted to a certain level. The goddess's ability to purify the bloodline of half-elves into elves has long been well known in the Elf Forest.
It can be said that these human beings are potential allies in the future.
Therefore, at the beginning, players would cover up their appearance and secretly rescue the children they saw.
Well...this is how the camp feels.
However, after doing it a few times, they aroused the vigilance of the Creation Divine Cult, and thus asked the other party to equip the clergy with soldiers.
Several people were worried that if they intervened again, they would be very likely to alarm the enemy, so they had to stop.
However, they also became increasingly disgusted with this so-called Church of Creation.
After hearing the words of several people, the driver who was driving the bus explained:
"Hey, a few adults don't know that this is the way the church can expand clergy."
"When the gods were there, the church was very desirable, and many people regarded becoming priests as their highest honor..."
"However, since the gods retired, the church has become more and more presumptuous and degenerate... They have begun to force all children with natural attributes to join the church."
"Those children with potential will be cultivated by them into priests who only know how to dedicate to the gods, while children without potential will be sacrificed directly to the gods as sacrifices..."
As he said that, the groom sighed:
"Now, except for the Divine Greed Town that lives in seclusion in the Elf Forest, who doesn't worry about their children being natural..."
"The church is no longer the church it used to be."
"Then why not resist?"
The Lotte Sect asked.
"How to resist?"
The coachman shook his head.
"The church controls the most powerful force. Almost all professions above the second level come from the church. Who has the ability to resist?"
After hearing the coachman's words, the players looked at each other and fell into silence.
indeed.
Although the humans in this semi-plane have the bloodline of elves, most of them have mastered a little bit of extraordinary power, at most they are at the apprentice level.
Very few people step into black iron.
The middle-level black iron that players saw were all clergy and soldiers of the church.
"Is this the church created by the existence of betrayal of the goddess? If I see, there is no difference between this church and a cult."
Chopin shook his head.
Others also showed approval expressions.
They are not newbies anymore.
At this moment, if they don’t know what these church members are doing, they will be in vain to give advice from their elder sister.
It is obvious that 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 even directly sacrificed appropriate children to gods as sacrifices!
Of course, coupled with the capture of the life potential of the half-plane creatures, it can be said that this "creation god" has completely stood opposite to the goddess...
The carriage continued to drive for a quarter of an hour, and then slowly stopped.
Then, the coachman's voice came from the front:
"Dear sirs, Segs City is ahead, so I won't send you into the city."
He didn't know the true identity of the players, he only knew that the players were entrusted by the elders to go to the city to do business.
After hearing the coachman's words, players looked out the car window and saw a magnificent city with vaguely identifying the style of the elf.
They got off the carriage one after another, and the coachman said goodbye to a few people and drove back.
"Captain, what's next?"
Several players looked at the lunch box.
The lunch box reached out and took out a crystal-shaped ball from his arms.
At this moment, the ball was flashing with misty light, as if it was summoned by some kind of summons.
This is the task tool given to players by the God-Grate Elder Rueger, and can sense the existence of the Heart of Life.
It is flashing, which means that the players are approaching the heart of life.
I saw the lunch box hold the crystal ball tightly, close my eyes and sense it for a while.
After a moment, he opened his eyes:
"Follow the induction."
