"Yes, there are no high-level special beings in Burei City."
Under the influence of the ointment, the bald boy's face was much less swollen, and at least he could speak unambiguously.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Bago didn't use all his strength. The slap just sounded loud, but it was actually done with force. It was a skin injury. Otherwise, with the strength of Bago's high-level special being, the bald boy's teeth would have been slapped.
Lose.
"This has nothing to do with high-level special beings." Bage said solemnly: "As long as there is a temple, there will be priests. We should not have anything to do with those priests unless necessary."
"Some are just priests with basic strength at most..." The bald boy muttered in a low voice, and quickly closed his mouth when he saw Bage looking over.
"The strength of the priests is not something to be afraid of, but behind them there is the Earth Temple, and behind the Earth Temple there are gods." This time, Bago was not angry, and slowly explained: "Being able to spread the power of the temple to such an extent in such a short period of time,
This is enough to illustrate the strength of the Earth Temple and the gods behind them."
"Although even if we offend the temple, it may not attract the attention of the gods, but if we can save one thing, we will save one thing. Don't forget that there is no temple behind us now."
The bald boy nodded in understanding, while the other boy hesitated and said, "Bago, do you think if we bring the news about this god back, will the temple forgive us and let us go back?"
The bald boy also looked at him expectantly.
Ba Ge was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Don't think about it. If you are not afraid of death, you can try it."
Seeing that the two of them were a little disappointed, Bago continued: "Besides, what's the use of going back? Continue to guard the god-making plan that I don't know when it will be realized? Or watch the desert fight every day, and then eat and wait to die?"
"What's more, bringing the news back means that we have to stand on the opposite side of this unknown god. I will not seek death."
"No, it doesn't matter. Even if this god is a true god, so what. The temple has several powerful false gods, as well as those... adults." The younger brother couldn't help but said.
"You underestimate this foreign god too much." Bago shook his head.
"You have all seen along the way that wherever there are earth temples, the water source problem has been improved and solved. You know how many cities there are in the entire central and southern desert. This is not something that ordinary gods can do.
matter."
"Currently we don't know the strength of this alien god. If it is a powerful god, it is still unknown who will win between the temple and him. Should we go back and rush to die? It is better to watch the show leisurely like now, no matter who wins,
It has nothing to do with us.”
"What's more, there isn't much benefit in going back to the temple. Think about what we have obtained during this period. We can't make money in the temple for ten years. Why is there any need to go back?" Bago said bewilderedly: "As long as we continue to do it for a few more years.
, when the time comes, we can leave Yanhuang State and find a big city outside to become a local emperor. Isn’t it much better than being domineering in this small place?"
The two younger brothers thought about it and suddenly felt it made sense.
The younger brother licked his lips and said, "Brother Bage, we all listen to you. It's okay if you don't come back to this temple!"
"Yes, you still have a future with Brother Bazhao." The bald boy said flatteringly.
Ba Ge nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's just take a rest and leave. Now we have to compete for business with the Earth God Temple. Every minute and every second cannot be wasted."
"No problem! Myna, where should we go next?"
"The central and southern part has been completed. It is basically the territory of the Earth Temple. It is difficult to find a city that has not been affected. It is definitely not possible in the east. That is the headquarters of the temple, and there is nothing valuable to be defrauded. The large tribes in the north
There are more, and there are also many high-level special beings, so it’s not cost-effective. It’s better to go west. I heard there’s a good Khan City in the west, so we’ll go there as our next location.”
"Myna is wise!"
Accompanied by the sounds of the younger brothers slapping their beards, the three of them disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.
…
Centenary City is the closest outside city to the Spitting Fire Desert.
After leaving the Spitting Fire Desert, pass through the sand control belt and continue walking west for about ten miles, you will see a towering city with a metallic luster.
This city is very large, equivalent to the size of seven or eight fierce cities. From a distance, it looks like an iron monster, stretching across the plains and mountains.
The moment he saw the city walls, Chu Ci thought he had arrived in a mechanical city. After careful observation, he discovered that these walls were originally made of iron sand from the desert, which gave them a metallic luster.
Iron sand is not as practical as flame stone, but its defensive power is far superior. Moreover, the refining process of iron sand is relatively complicated and expensive to process. It is generally used in relatively important small-scale defenses.
Nowadays, the entire city's outer walls are made of iron sand, and the cost can be imagined. This makes Chu Ci have to lament the wealth of Centenary City.
Entering the Centenary City, the tall buildings and busy traffic in the city were completely different from the cities in the desert, which made Chu Ci feel like he was in a dream.
After staying in the desert for a long time, he thought that the cities in Yanhuang Prefecture were all the same. They were all ancient cities with a sense of the times, and the houses were generally relatively simple. He did not expect that there were modern cities like Centenary City.
The entire city is almost the same as the cities outside Yanhuang State. It even looks more technological because of the iron sheets on the city walls.
The moment Chu Ci and the two entered the city, the hot and stuffy feeling belonging to the desert climate suddenly disappeared, the air became much fresher, and the wind blowing in front of them was also very cool.
Green plants are planted everywhere on the streets, and it is so green that it is completely impossible to tell that this is a city on the edge of a desert.
Chu Ci and Luo Jiuyou wandered around the city and found that the whole city looked like a city outside, but it still had a desert style inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From time to time, bare-chested, dark-skinned sand people pass by on the street. From far away, you can hear the angry shouts of the shops next to the street, and even if they disagree,
The fighting style is no different from that in the desert.
The only difference is that there are no patrols in this city.
Chu Ci and Luo Jiuyou looked at each other and said slowly, "Did you notice it?"
Luo Jiuyou nodded: "I can feel it, there are three in total."
"Yes, but the strange thing is that I didn't find out where the temple is." Chu Ci frowned.
Anyone else would be confused after hearing this endless question and answer, but both Chu Ci and Luo Jiuyou understood what the other party was talking about.
In this city, there are false gods!
The moment he entered the city, Chu Ci noticed the aura of the false god, but he did not say anything. Instead, he and Luo Jiuyou hid the aura, and then walked around the entire city in the name of wandering, and finally found three people in three areas.
A false god.
One of the false gods was very powerful and had a good ability to conceal his aura, but he still couldn't hide it from Chu Ci and the others.
Chu Ci, who has had experience, knows that once false gods appear in Yanhuang State, there may be a temple of life in this city.
Now there are three false gods here, and they are staying in the same city peacefully with each other. Chu Ci is the first one not to believe that they have nothing to do with the Temple of Life.
However, what puzzled Chu Ci and the two was that they had traveled throughout the city and found no trace of the temple or the activities of the temple personnel.
"Why don't you catch a false god first and ask?" Luo Jiuyou thought for a while and asked.
"Wait a minute." Chu Ci pondered for a while and said, "It's easy to scare off the enemy, so I'll try other methods first."
Closing his eyes, Chu Ci's ears moved slightly, listening to the sounds around him.
"Friends, we are a high-end club here. People who are disheveled are not allowed to enter."
"Hey, I have such a bad temper, why don't you tell me where my clothes are disheveled?"
"...Friend, please put on your clothes first and then talk."
That's not it.
Chu Ci frowned slightly, activated his sense of heaven, and raised his hearing to the limit!
One street, two streets... one city district, two city districts... Soon, all the movements in the entire hundred-year-old city were heard by Chu Ci!
The noisy sounds, what should be heard, and what should not be heard, were all transmitted to Chu Ci's ears. After continuous analysis by the brain, useful information was extracted.
After a long time, Chu Ci opened his eyes and took a long breath.
"found it!"
At night.
The largest high-rise building in Centennial City is the Jiangong Group Building.
It's obviously time to get off work, but the lights inside the Construction Engineering Group Building are still bright, and many people are still working hard.
These people were dressed in business attire and looked no different from people in other states and cities, but from the way they walked and their temperament, it was clear that these people were sand people.
It's just that these sand people put down their scimitars, put on tight and uncomfortable business suits, and became members of the social beasts.
Some people have dark circles around their eyes, which shows that they have stayed up too late but are still working hard.
The content of their work is also very strange, that is, from some boxes full of cards, they sort out the cards according to the requirements, then record the contents on the cards, and then submit them.
The work content is not complicated, but there are too many cards. Basically, there are hundreds or thousands of cards in a box, and there are hundreds of boxes here, and they are still being delivered in a steady stream.
Many people were sifting and sifting, and immediately fell asleep on the table from exhaustion, but soon a supervisor found out, woke him up, and put an x on his work badge, marking him as a once-off.
The person who was given a demerit had a sad face and continued to work with dark circles under his eyes.
Someone was discovered by the supervisor after falling asleep and cried and begged for mercy, but the supervisor was still stubborn and put an x on his work badge.
After the painting was completed, the supervisor discovered that the person's work badge had been filled with five x's, so he called the guards in the building to drive the person out.
No matter how much the man cried and begged for mercy, it was in vain. Under the forcible eviction of the guards, he was driven out of the building and left in despair.
What this man didn't realize was that behind him, two slender figures had been watching all this in mid-air.
Looking at the back of this man staggering away, Luo Jiuyou looked confused.
"If we don't go to the temple, what are we doing here?"
"Because this is the temple we are looking for."
Luo Jiuyou was stunned by Chu Ci's answer. He looked at the situation inside the building, and then at the disappearing figure in the distance, but he couldn't connect these things with the temple.
Looking at Luo Jiuyou's confused eyes, Chu Ci smiled and said, "Are you surprised? Don't tell me, I was also surprised when I analyzed the news."
"No one would have imagined that this Construction Engineering Group Building is actually a temple cloaked in the skin of a company."
"Do you know what these cards are? They are actually wish lists, which contain the wishes of most people in Centenary City."
"I have to say that this temple in Centennial City is a bit interesting. I actually thought of gathering faith in this way."
"This construction group is a company established with the official endorsement of Baisui City. To a certain extent, it represents Baisui City itself. The material transactions between Baisui City and various cities in the desert are all conducted through this company.
.”
"People who have lived in Centennial City for a certain period of time all know that Construction Engineering Group has a corporate characteristic, which is that it helps people realize their wishes."
"As long as you are a loyal user of Jiangong Group, believe in all the decisions of Centenary City, and live in Centenary City for at least one year, you can get a wish card from Jiangong Group every year. You can
Write your wish on the card, and the Construction Engineering Group will regularly draw a portion of the wish cards to help them realize their wishes."
"Of course, the so-called extraction is just rhetoric. The job of these employees is to screen the wishes according to the category and difficulty. Then Centenary City will prioritize a large number of simple wishes to be realized according to the difficulty, so that the people are more willing to believe them.
"
At this point, Chu Ci smiled and said: "Does this process sound familiar? It's basically a replica of how our gods respond to the wishes of believers."
"It's just that their efficiency is faster and they gather more faith."
"Loyalty and belief in a certain object are themselves part of faith. Although the power of faith gathered in this way is not pure, it is enough for false gods."
Luo Jiuyou was very surprised. This was the first time she had seen this form of faith gathering.
But after thinking about it carefully, Luo Jiuyou had to sigh that these people really knew how to play.
The Thirteen Cities Alliance located outside the desert, their living environment is not as harsh as the desert, and there are no threats from sand beasts. They are rich in product resources and have no shortage of water sources.
Because of this, the way the temple in the desert protects the city has no effect on people outside the desert.
But now this method is different. It is said that money can solve most problems. With the financial resources of Centennial City, they can realize the wishes of most people through this method, gain their loyalty and trust, and then turn it into faith.
The power is continuously provided to the false gods.
No wonder Chu Ci said that this construction group is actually a temple cloaked in corporate skin.
