Chapter 505 Winter Goddess (Part 1)

The Hou family of Hushan County is a moderately wealthy business family.

The power of this family is comparable to that of the Dongbo family in Yishui County in the past, maybe a little stronger. They can barely be considered a figure, but they are not big shots. The entire Hushan County has a lot of them.

However, no one would have thought that there would be a tunnel in the room of this humble wealthy businessman family, leading directly to the underground.

Underground, there is a fairly spacious underground palace.

The underground palace is square in shape, about thirty feet long from east to west and eight feet long from north to south.

If we look at the standards of an altar to worship gods, this underground palace is obviously a bit crude.

But if one knew that in the area around Hushan County, no more than 300 believers of the God of Winter worked hard to build the underground palace, which would be considered a big project.

The dim light illuminates the underground palace.

The color of the light is strange, but it is a light blue light like ice and snow.

Under the radiance, everything in the underground palace can be seen clearly even by mortals.

The underground palace is simple, with smooth walls and no unnecessary decoration.

Only there is a statue at the northernmost end of the underground palace that is particularly lifelike. It is made of white jade-like rocks and looks like a graceful goddess. However, this statue has just been placed.

If it were not for this day of worship, even if the underground palace was discovered, it would not be certain that it was related to the belief in evil gods.

The statue of the graceful goddess is the ‘God of Winter’, or it can also be called the ‘Goddess of Winter’.

One by one, believers entered this underground palace through different passages.

Among them are clansmen and servants of the wealthy businessman Hou family, lumberjacks from forest farms, and all kinds of people.

They consciously stood in a square formation and prayed silently at first. After a while, the voices became louder and louder, and they became one!

"Great God of Winter, you give us a cool winter."

"Great God of Winter, you give us ice as armor to protect us from our enemies!!"

"Great God of Winter, you give us ice that turns into sharp blades to kill our enemies!!!"

As these hundreds of believers worshiped, little snowflakes fell on the underground palace. After a while, the senior figures in the evil god's religion arrived late!

There are only three senior leaders in the Church of Winter God.

A white-haired woman wearing a veil, with silver-blue hair draped over her shoulders, contains an aura of ice in every move she makes.

There were two women in black appearing beside her, also full of a chilling atmosphere.

They appeared at the front of many believers, worshiping the statue of the winter god, and their attitudes were very pious.

After worshiping for a full quarter of an hour, this woman just stopped worshiping!

"Believers of the great winter god." The woman's voice spread, "Worshiping our god is our blessing~"

The words spoken by the woman are nothing more than spreading the Winter God’s beliefs, teachings, etc.

Her voice was cold on the surface, but full of charm. However, listening to this 'saint''s sermon, the believers below became more and more fanatical.

After preaching for three quarters of an hour, the woman's sermon just ended.

Then, many believers began to get excited.

According to tradition, after the annual collective gathering for worship, the saint will select one of the believers and bestow the ‘gift of the winter goddess’.

Most of the believers of the Winter Goddess are ordinary civilians, and this gift is very precious to them.

In the past ten years, any believer who has received the gift of the Winter God has at least become an earth-level knight, and there are also a few who have become a heaven-level knight.

Some can even become meteor knights.

As for "saints" and "protectors", ordinary believers tacitly agree that they are not the same thing.

Believers ignore the laws of the Longshan Empire and believe in the evil god. How can it really be because of ‘faith’? It’s not because of the blessing of the evil god. It can’t be because of the beauty of the saint of the Church of the Winter God?!

All believers hope that they are the one who receives the blessing! Even those who have already received the blessing also hope to be blessed a second time!

"Shirakawa Tiger." The woman spit out a name.

One of the believers below was shaken and walked out immediately!

This man, with his sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, seemed to be a very smooth person. Seeing this man walking out, the group of believers all showed unhappy expressions.

Obviously, this ‘Shirakawa Tiger’ is not liked by everyone.

"Shirakawa Tiger, in the past year, you have developed fifteen devout believers, and you are the believer who has contributed the most to our religion in the past year." The Goddess of Winter did not care about the dissatisfaction of those believers.

She also knows that the character of this 'Shirakawa Tiger' is very average, and even one of the more disgusting among the believers of the Winter God.

But the other party's achievements are indeed great enough, and rewarding such a person will more easily inspire believers to spread the belief in the Winter God!

As a person favored by the evil god, the Winter Goddess looks young and beautiful, but is actually over a hundred years old. She has a very thorough study of the human heart.

"On behalf of the great Winter God, I will give you the power you deserve!" The Winter Goddess's voice was louder, and then she took out a strange light from her clothes.

A bronze lamp, but the flame is blue.

As soon as this light appeared, the surrounding environment temperature suddenly dropped, and a layer of frost appeared on the walls of the underground palace near the woman.

The blue flame trembled, splitting out wisps of blue flame, floating quietly in the air towards the Shirakawa Tiger.

Seeing this scene, the expression on the face of the slippery man Shirakawa Tora also became solemn, but his solemn expression could not hide his joy.

They had seen this scene last year, the year before, and the year before that.

That is the blessing of the God of Winter. A little blue flame is enough to turn a person who has not practiced into an earth-level knight. Even if he continues to practice, he is expected to become a heaven-level knight.

Standing at an extraordinary height, a heavenly knight is just a nobody.

But for ordinary mortals, being a heaven-level knight is already the limit of a lifetime of struggle! Before Dong Bolie's memory awakened, he was just a heaven-level knight. However, after taking several risks, he earned enough money to buy a territory and a title, becoming a

Noble.

The blue flame fell on Bai Chuanhu's head and was about to sink into his body.

The bright light flashed, and Shirakawa Tiger blinked involuntarily.

The blue flame is extinguished!

For a moment, everyone in the underground palace was stunned.

Up to the 'saint' in white and the two messengers in black.

Down to ordinary believers, this is the case for a moment.

In their eyes, the flame is a symbol of the goddess of winter, representing the supreme faith. How could it suddenly go out?

It was the saint in white who was the fastest to change her consciousness. As someone who experienced nine deaths and was given the power by the God of Winter to transform into a 'pseudo-extraordinary' being, although she believed in the God of Winter, she also knew that the God of Winter was by no means invincible.

At least, if the Winter God cannot come, any extraordinary person can affect the flame that contains a trace of the Winter God's power.

Sure enough, just as she came to her senses, she saw a figure appear out of thin air in the underground palace.
