If Andy guessed correctly, the tall and majestic statue in front of him is the statue of the legendary god of darkness.
Andy glanced at Allen and Isabella in front of him, knowing that he was now a believer in the God of Darkness, so he walked straight towards the statue, respectfully bowed before the statue, and silently chanted in his heart
Saying prayers.
While he thanked the God of Darkness for his life-saving grace, he also prayed that he and his family could stay away from war and have a peaceful and beautiful life from now on.
At this moment, a stranger in black robes came to him.
Judging from this man's solemn attire, if nothing else goes wrong, he should be a clergy member of the Dark Temple.
"Are you also a believer in the God of Darkness?" After Andy stood up, the stranger in black robe smiled at him and asked.
Andy pondered for a moment and replied: "That's right."
At the same time, he also saw the face of this stranger clearly. He was a young man with brown hair. He should not be more than thirty years old. Compared with the solemn faces of other sect members, this young man
But he had a gentle and friendly smile on his face, without putting on airs, and looked amiable.
"So who are you?" Andy paused for a moment and then asked.
"I am a servant of the great God of Darkness, the deacon of this dark temple, and the new student of High Priest Delphi," the brown-haired man in black robes was heard saying in a proud and pious tone, "You can call me
For Vann Igneel.”
"Van Igneel..." Hearing this name, Andy was particularly surprised and blurted out involuntarily, "Are you from the Igneel family?"
In Andy's impression, the Igneel family is also a powerful family in the Kingdom of Greyhawk, and has been married to the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke for generations.
The fiancée of the current Iron-Blooded Grand Duke is the daughter of Marquis Igniel. During the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's war with the king, Marquis Igniel has always been his most powerful supporter.
Why are the descendants of the Igneel family, who have always prided themselves on being noble, willing to give up worldly glory and wealth, join the Dark Temple, become a priest serving the God of Darkness, and recognize the high priest of the Dark Temple as their teacher?
Does this dark temple really have an unimaginable attraction?
"Yes," the young man with brown hair and black robes smiled and replied calmly, "Marquis Igneel is my father. But since he became a servant of the great God of Darkness, his previous surname is no longer important."
After receiving a positive answer from Vann Igneel, Andy sighed inwardly again.
He thought this man was just a collateral descendant of the Igneel family, but he didn't expect that he was actually the biological son of Marquis Igneel.
At this moment, Andy deeply realized that he had truly underestimated the true power of the Black Temple and its terrifying influence in the Kingdom of Greyhawk.
After a short silence, Vann Igneel smiled and said to Andy:
"I haven't seen you before. You must be new here, right?"
"Yes," Andy replied, "My family and I came from the Coral Kingdom and came here to escape the war."
Andy originally wanted to say that it was the saint of your Dark Temple who saved my life from the wolves and then brought me here.
However, just as he was about to speak, he felt a chill coming from his back, making the hairs stand up all over his body.
It was as if a cold gaze fell on him, preventing him from saying the next words.
Andy soon realized that the saint of the Dark Temple and the black-haired young man with a mysterious identity and great powers did not seem to want to reveal their identities at this time.
Therefore, Andy could only choose to obey his heart and swallow the second half of the sentence obediently.
Immediately, he heard Fan En, a young man with brown hair and black robes, continue to say: "If you are new and a believer of the God of Darkness, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke will allocate a piece of land to you. You can choose to live in this land.
Wheat is grown on the land, and you can also choose to graze cattle and sheep. As long as you pay your taxes on time and in quantity, the duchy's army will do their best to ensure your safety, and your whole family can live and work here in peace and contentment."
When Vann said these words, Andy could hear his heart pounding. He knew that after experiencing the ups and downs of the Coral Kingdom, he was really tempted by such conditions.
"So... in the territory of the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, is there a policy of compulsory recruitment?" He took a deep breath, and then asked cautiously.
"Of course not, don't worry," Vann replied with a smile, "The great God of Darkness has always advocated freedom. As his devout believer, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke will never force you to do anything.
"However, in the duchy, joining the army is an extremely honorable thing. Not only does it bring huge financial income, but it also has a great opportunity to exchange for status and honor through military merit.
"So, every time when there is recruitment, all the young people of the right age rush to the top and are eager to try. Because for them, fighting is a rare promotion step. As long as they have enough military merit, they may be able to reach the sky in one step and become famous."
"It sounds very exciting." Andy commented politely.
However, although he said this, what he was thinking in his heart was that no matter how favorable the conditions were, I would not join the army even if he beat me to death.
He has always hated war.
Now that he has come to this paradise-like land, he just wants to live peacefully with his family, raise some piglets and sheep, and spend the rest of his life in an ordinary way.
…………
at the same time.
Allen was standing aside at this time, accompanied by Isabella, looking at the land with admiration.
He must admit that High Priest Delphi and the followers of the Dark Temple led by him are very capable of management and construction.
With the help of the decree issued by the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, they fully and effectively mobilized the enthusiasm of the local residents, not only allowing them to own their own land and income, but also allowing them to actively join the army and spontaneously fight for the Dark Temple.
The eldest son of Marquis Igneel was actually willing to give up his inheritance rights and chose to become a priest of the Dark Temple, which made Allen look at Delphi with admiration.
Allen was very pleased with the performance of these believers in the other world.
However, at this moment, after the young priest Vann Igneil finished greeting Andy's family, he turned around and saw Allen and Isabella.
So, with a warm smile on his face, Fan En walked towards them and asked:
"Are you also new believers of the God of Darkness?"
