It was dark and windy outside the window, and only scattered cats and dogs barked echoing in the street.
Lu Yao poured a cup of coffee and looked at his phone.
1:12 am.
Normally, he would have fallen asleep by this time.
But not today.
Lu Yao was ready for a protracted war.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the God of Sui must be arranged today.
While waiting, Lu Yao set his sights on the ghost town of Sanillo.
Deep-sea murlocs sleep underwater. Therefore, large holes were dug under Sanilo's artificial canal to serve as underwater residences for the murlocs.
On weekdays, fish people will enter the sea along the small canal to catch fish, shrimps, crabs and shells. Occasionally, they can also find some precious corals and clams.
These have become the specialties of Sanilo today. Through transactions with merchants in Yancheng, these commodities were exchanged for meat, wheat, potatoes and fruits as well as various raw materials.
Sanilo has frequent trade exchanges with Yancheng, while its exchanges with Yaocheng are more about faith.
Many fishmen will enter the East River and rush to the temple of Yao City to worship.
The temple in this holy city is the only miracle that the god Yao personally performed. The other temples are just poor imitations of the original miracle in various cities.
The fishmen knelt devoutly outside the temple. Under direct sunlight, their smooth and moist skin would gradually turn red, and expressions of weakness and pain appeared on their heads.
But at this time, they were even more enthusiastic, regarding the pain of water shortage as an achievement similar to penance.
Once it rains, they consider it a blessing from the gods and cheer loudly. The strong sunshine is a severe test from the gods. They endure thirst and stiffness until they faint and are revived by people around them splashing water on them.
Lu Yao himself never thought that the earliest fanatic believers were actually a group of fishmen.
Perhaps, this is the simplest penance and the purest enjoyment?
Beside the temple were kneeling devout dwarf fishmen, and they occupied the entire area.
In addition to the temple, there was another place in Yao City that was also overcrowded.
Ale Colosseum.
Since the prophet Hymila reorganized the city of Yao, beast fighting and gladiatorial games have been completely stopped, and drinking has been regulated.
For quite some time, this wonder became empty. Also due to Puritan control and fanatical theological worship, most of the people who were keen on hedonism moved to Yancheng next door.
Now the Colosseum is once again crowded and very lively.
From a bird's-eye view, Lu Yao found two little people in the center of the stage.
On the left is the game boy Mu Ke, and on the right is the prophet Hemila.
They are no longer young now, they are all in their fifties. In Yaocheng and Yancheng, this age is actually considered old.
Mu Ke didn't know what was going on, he was limping, and he was holding a small dog.
Hemila was dressed in a black robe and looked like Isabel.
"Citizens, Mu Ke and I are here today to solve a problem that is plaguing Yaocheng. Everyone present will be witnesses."
Hemila said: "The establishment of the Colosseum itself was for bloody fighting games. This kind of cruel and barbaric behavior is not worthy of praise."
"But the Colosseum itself is an amazing place. It once aroused everyone's courage and fighting will, and it is also a monument to the glory of the past."
"Now Yaocheng will reopen the Colosseum. But what exactly it will be used for, Mu Ke, the founder here, and I still have differences..."
Mu Ke said: "To put it simply, it's a bet between me and the prophet. We each rely on our abilities to see which new Colosseum everyone likes more."
Next, Mu Ke showed off his new game.
He called a group of people and rearranged the entire place. Mu Ke drew grids on the ground, moved stones and small trees, and arranged wooden fences, traps, bonfires, and some wooden boxes.
Then Mu Ke explained how to play his game.
Lu Yao understood it at a glance.
This is to play a three-dimensional board game, or a real-life version of Monopoly.
Players will walk on the grid on the ground and use dice to determine the direction and distance they walk.
They may encounter traps and get injured and rest, or they may enter the woods and encounter wild beasts, causing them to retreat or be damaged. Under the campfire, you can clearly see the traps around you, and there may be gems or poisonous snakes hidden in the wooden boxes...
The live-action board game is rich in content and has a huge system of settings and props. Lu Yao watched it with great interest.
But the little people watching didn’t think so.
The whole game is more like Mu Ke's explanation. Only a few people have thumbs up on their heads, and most people have question marks on their heads, indicating that they don't understand.
The board game session ended hastily.
Next is Heimila's turn.
She found a dozen people and asked them to appear on stage one after another. The performance was simple, just a stage play. The content of the play was exactly the scene of the pig fish brothers fighting the black bear apostle. It is a classic.
Everyone watched it with great interest.
In the end, the black bear was struck to death by lightning from God - of course there were no special effects.
The actor playing the black bear and other villains shouted: "Ah! It's lightning!"
Then they shivered and fell to the ground.
Language and body movements complement the special effects.
All the audience stood up and cheered.
This scene made Lu Yao feel a little sad.
Facts speak louder than words. The simple adaptation of the stage play is liked by most people, but the real-life board game is too complicated and difficult to get started, so only a few people are interested.
Hemila won a crushing victory and received thumbs up and applause from most of the audience.
Mu Ke is also willing to admit defeat.
After winning over the citizens, the prophetess knelt on the ground, folded her hands in front of her chest and said a prayer.
"Great God Yao, your loyal servant, I take the liberty of disturbing your peace, hoping to get your guidance."
"You know everything clearly, please give us your verdict."
A prompt appears on the emulator.
[The Ale Colosseum has taken the prototype of evolution.]
【Excuse me, do you want to evolve this wonder?】
【whether】
Lu Yao’s point is.
Only with change can there be progress.
An exclamation point popped up above Hemila's head: "God's will! God has recognized us!"
She immediately announced: "From today on, the [Ale Colosseum] will be converted into a theater, using the name given to us by God, and it will be called [Ale Theater]!"
[The knowledge of everyone in Yaocheng has been slightly improved.]
Lu Yao Click Theater.
…
[Ale Theater LV2]: A spectacle transformed from the Colosseum, the choice of the people in the new era.
All viewers in the theater will receive a permanent knowledge improvement, with knowledge +1.
…
Lu Yao said in his heart that it was a good risk.
Fortunately, during the Colosseum era, I asked Isabel to arrange all the combat members, and obtained a permanent damage +3 gain in the Colosseum. Otherwise, it would have been a big loss.
Each point of knowledge increases maximum mana by 10 points and daily mana recovery by 1 point.
This is a small enhancement for Isabel and Snowman, two big mana consumers.
Wonders actually automatically upgrade when certain conditions are triggered. This is both a surprise and a reminder.
Lu Yao turned his attention to the theater again.
After the crowd dispersed, Mu Ke sat alone on the stage.
Hemila walked slowly to his side.
Neither of the two pixelated figures spoke.
Finally Mu Ke said: "Would you like to play a game of "Tribal War Chess"?"
"good."
So, two young people started playing this old game.
Shortly after.
"I won!"
Mu Ke has a smiley face symbol on his head.
"you win."
A smile also appeared on the top of Hemila's head.
Mu Ke asked her: "Is the new game I made at the theater really bad?"
"No, I personally think it's very good and interesting."
"Really?"
"real."
After Hemila finished speaking, she turned and left.
Mu Ke was once again alone in the theater.
He said to himself: "In the end, I lost to a woman again."
"There are always winners and losers in the game..."
"Only Clash of Clans will always stay with me."
Finally, he slowly fell to the ground holding the battle flag and stopped moving. [Death] was displayed on the head of the villain.
The puppy next to it licked its owner with its tongue and screamed. But it didn't know that its owner would never wake up again.
