Lu Yao originally thought that this city should promote theology and astrology, and the next step would be advanced development of mysticism, alchemy, and the like. Eventually, it would become the holy center of this pixel world, a place similar to Jerusalem.
Now he realized that he had been a little preconceived.
Everything must be considered against the background of the times and the general environment.
In the age of science and technology, theology is indeed old and outdated.
But in the period when the city was just established, theology was synonymous with advancement.
Lu Yao has played many historical strategy games, which are described in these games. The early clergy, whether they were shamans, monks, priests or Taoist priests, were usually doctors, astronomers, mathematicians and philosophers.
Today, Yaocheng has exerted its theological power.
Driven by belief in gods, a large group of scholars gathered here, who understood the entire world through reading books and miracles.
Not far outside the temple, a stone sculpture was placed by villains.
This stone carving is marked: [Land of Water].
Lu Yao double-clicked the stone statue to get a clear and large picture of it.
The Kingdom of Water is a contemporary globe created by Yaocheng. Its structure is slightly crude: two continents and a series of small islands floating in a sea, and the sea is a long thin slice that looks like a few chocolate chips on top.
nut.
There is also a sentence engraved on the model.
"Water is the source of all things, and all things ultimately end in water."
Yaocheng developed the earliest schools, seminaries, scholars, and world models.
Lu Yao couldn't help but be curious.
What is the situation in Yancheng, which is Yaocheng's competitor?
He switched his perspective and came to the sky above Yancheng behind the mountains to the west.
As soon as it is transferred, a series of reminders will pop up on the simulator.
【The medicine spoon invented the oil lamp.】
[Yancheng invented lighthouse science.]
【The first lighthouse was built in Yancheng.】
[Discover the prototype of a usable wonder: lighthouse.]
…
——Great God, there is a believer who has performed feats far beyond those of her peers. Do I need to transform her into a hero?
Lu Yao clicked on the temple first.
There was a girl kneeling on the ground in the temple, praying to the statue with her hands clasped together.
The name on her head reads [Medicine Spoon], and she is 21 years old.
This is the first time Lu Yao transforms into a heroine among villains. Previously, Hemila was a prophet.
In the vertical painting, Medicine Spoon is a young girl with a scorpion tail. She is sitting in front of a table, her chin resting on her folded hands, and she looks happily at an oil lamp on the table.
There is also a sentence below that represents a medicine spoon.
——Man is an animal that has learned to make friends with fire.
Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key for apostles to listen to the will of gods. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and understand various abilities.
Medicine Level 1: Good at medical treatment, with a certain probability of being able to invent new drugs or treatments.
Invention Level 1: The probability of inventing new things increases.
…
Lu Yao was happy.
Initial three skills!
The girl with the scorpion tail is a doctor by profession, but she is also an inventor.
An out-and-out genius.
The key is that she is a hero born naturally from the salt pond. This shows from the side that the salt pond model is feasible and beneficial to the villain group.
Lu Yao silently wrote down the name of the medicine spoon in the small notebook in his heart.
This is the focus of talent in the future.
After gradually recovering from the surprise, Lu Yao thought about creating spectacles in these two cities.
Currently, he has two wonders under his control, one is Yao City's own [Ale Colosseum], and the other is [Aegir's Fire] in the northern forest.
Ever since it was determined that Wonders would not force players to ascend to the Pantheon, Lu Yao's attitude towards Wonders had changed.
Of course it’s great if you have it, but don’t force it if you don’t have it.
Now both cities have developed prototypes of wonders, which shows that they are developing well and have taken a step forward.
It’s just that there aren’t many beliefs now.
Lu Yao looked at the upper right corner.
Population: 22,723 Faith: 5,951
The population has been growing steadily, but the faith has been continuously lost due to the removal of the seal from the Yeti and the battle with the God of Bones.
It is still a period of war, and these reserves of faith cannot be touched for the time being.
We can only put aside the spectacle for a while.
Lu Yao scratched his head.
I used to feel that I was very wealthy, but after fighting a war, I became tight again. No matter how much faith you have, it is not enough to spend, you have to accumulate more.
Fortunately, he now holds 14 faith bonus items and has a fixed income of 672 faith points every day.
Just wait for another week and it will ease.
…
Lu Yao overlooks Yancheng.
A lighthouse was built next to the city port in the northwest.
Its appearance cannot be said to be grand or exquisite, it is just a low sentry tower made of stones. At night, firewood will be lit on the sentry tower.
The Yancheng Lighthouse is used more as a landmark lighting to guide ships returning from the sea.
Next to the library in the center of the city, Mayor Yulian was delivering a speech. Shang Li stood silently behind him, acting as a think tank.
Commander Yan Geer led the Corruptors to maintain order among the surrounding crowd.
Yulian said: "Citizens, we are facing a severe challenge. This challenge comes from Yaocheng in the east."
"Everyone knows that we in Yancheng have been developing commerce and trade and are committed to various new inventions. But this has always been condemned by Yaocheng."
"Prophet Hamila has repeatedly asked me to change Yancheng, give up current business operations, replace libraries with seminaries, replace fighting beasts with prayer, and expel the so-called 'fallen ones'."
"She believes that Yaocheng represents the will of the gods, and Yancheng must follow their footsteps."
"However, God has never given such guidance or recognition."
"Citizens, are you willing to accept Yaocheng's leadership?"
The citizens of Yancheng erupted in strong opposition.
"Are you kidding! If everything is like Yaocheng, who will raise cattle, sheep and pigs, and where do their wood and salt come from? They are not all produced by our Yancheng!"
"It's jealousy. They are jealous that Yancheng is getting richer and richer."
"That's right! Yaocheng was jealous. After the master wizard Senjian passed away, people there kept migrating here because Yancheng has a better life and cheaper goods."
“Yancheng is the best!”
…
"Please be quiet, be quiet."
Yulian continued: "The prophet believes that Yaocheng's way is the right one. But I don't think so. The population of Yancheng is constantly growing, and people are constantly moving from Yaocheng to Yancheng to join us!"
"This is everyone's most authentic choice, proving that Yancheng has better conditions, more tolerance and pragmatism than Yaocheng!"
"Without the blessing of God Yao, Yancheng would not be where it is today."
"Since we are facing challenges, let us prove that Yancheng is God's choice and favor, and it is also the choice of everyone!"
"We will be like a lighthouse on the seashore, lighting the way for everyone to come and go!"
"We are the lighthouse!"
After the fishing company finished speaking, the citizens responded one after another, raising their arms and shouting.
"We are the lighthouse!"
"We are the lighthouse!"
…
Lu Yao opened a pack of original potato chips and ate the chips while watching.
not bad.
Competition between cities began.
Lu Yao is looking forward to this two-city battle.
I don’t know how the two cities can prove that they are the leaders of pixel humans.
