At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

He was one of the first people to finish reading the epic, just like the blacksmith's son and others.

He once complained that even in the ancient heroic epics, he unexpectedly could not find a god who could allow humans to gain true freedom.

But after watching the Absolute Warcraft Front for the first time, he always lost his focus. He felt like he had caught something, but it was not very clear.

After staying up late to read both the immersive epic and the text version of the epic countless times in the past few days, and even his hair became messy, he finally found the answer he wanted -!

And this brings up another thing,

Almost all the gods in this land are tyrants like the towering king.

Yes, in the eyes of traveling merchants, the gods are a group of brutal dictators, with extremely strong dominance that is even higher than that of human kings!

They influence every aspect of humanity.

Whether humans prosper or not has nothing to do with humans themselves;

But the gods decide that you can prosper only if you prosper, and if He is angry - the whole nation should be punished!

Although the traveling merchant is not very powerful, he has eyes that see through the nature of the relationship between gods and humans.

In the final analysis, it is just a mutuality of interests.

Gods protect humans in exchange for their faith.

Isn't this essentially a transaction? It's nothing.

However, in order to compete for faith, the gods continue to interfere in the decisions of humans on the earth and even cause wars.

As a result, his trade was greatly affected——

This makes the wandering merchant very dissatisfied!

Not only did his interests often suffer,

He had seen high mountains where corpses were piled up. Under the setting sun, he could only see scattered crows gnawing on carrion, and there was no other life.

I have also seen undercurrents surging in the secret and thrilling confrontations between the forces supported by the gods in the huge kingdom. Each confrontation may represent a series of cold numbers, which is a list of the dead.

And every "war" ultimately leads to the decline of the human kingdom, and the people are gradually enslaved physically and mentally, and from the initial anger to the gradual surrender.

Perhaps this kind of thing is not very obvious in other countries.

But in that ‘country’ it is everywhere——

That important hub connecting the East and the West! A place where the gods gather their attention.

Thinking of the wandering merchant, he sighed,

It is more appropriate to say it is a "god's favored place" than a place cursed by God!

It is not a good thing to receive too much attention from gods.

Therefore, under the tearful request of the old Wang, he agreed to the other party's request and began to embark on the road to find a way to save the country.

In fact, he didn't feel that he was doing something noble or dangerous.

I just pay attention to it when I'm wandering around in trade.

Although no practical solution has been found yet.

But we found enough evidence to verify that humans have the power to expand the future on their own!

This is evidence that proves that the concept that even if the gods are lost, humans can survive on their own is not wrong!

That old Wang who cares about the people will definitely be interested in this.

So the traveling merchant decided to change his ways.

From the originally scheduled next stop, the road to the Principality of Ceylon, we changed to heading east.

Chapter 1777 I heard that there is no god in the east? But a god with one punch?

There was still some pity in his heart——

I heard that Ceylon produces many magical 'alchemy tools'...

Originally, I wanted to try to ship a batch of goods to other countries to see if they could sell well.

never mind--

Maybe they were just spreading rumors and exaggerating those alchemy tools!

What kind of transparent wall, glass that emits colorful lights in the sunlight like the colors of the rainbow that all the gods marvel at and praise.

Although the wandering merchant has never seen that kind of ‘wall’ with his own eyes,

but……

Turn the wall into a transparent color,

Perhaps he could also ask an alchemist to conduct research himself.

There are all kinds of weird things like this, but the wandering merchants who have never seen them all perfectly give various 'wrong' self-understandings.

Just like the wandering businessman who really thinks that glass is evolved from the discoloration of ordinary earthen walls, it would be damned if he could research glass!

A wandering businessman who doesn’t know what he’s missing,

Begin to prepare to return to the country located at the junction of the mysterious eastern countries and this region!

This time he will bring the seeds of hope.

So a few days later,

Kingdom of Lucia, he is back!

It is a small city in a small country located at the easternmost point on the road extending from the south of the equator to the northeast.

It is said to be a small city in the kingdom, but in fact, this is the only place that the kingdom can clearly control now.

This is also the capital of the kingdom.

A country that once had 13 main cities. Most are now controlled by the Order of the Gods.

Although these cities are nominally part of the Kingdom, the Empire's control over them is now very weak.

And this is also the most remote place where the gods can influence.

Although there are still many prosperous countries further to the east, there are no gods ruling there, but there are heroes in large numbers (heroes who can hang up gods and beat them, maybe... are they still heroes?).

For some reason, the gods have never reached out to this prosperous land, but they still continue to pay attention to the countries to the east.

My mouth is watering over this rich cake that you can see but not eat!

The Kingdom of Lucia, a remote country, has long been concerned by the gods because it is closest to the eastern countries.

A country without divine protection in this era is miserable.

That means it is in danger of being embezzled at any time.

However, being watched by too many gods became a curse.

In order to control this key hub between east and west. The gods often use this country as a chessboard for games.

This game has been played for generations.

By a certain generation——

The king, who was fed up with the mess in his kingdom, could only shed tears every time he saw his people suffering.

He began to want to find a way out for the kingdom, a way out for humanity on this land——

Because of the frequent civil strife and wars, I imagined praying to benevolent gods to protect the country, but in the end I discovered that the source of the country's chaos was the gods.

The kings finally understood that the gods were the greatest source of disaster that hindered human progress.

If there weren't so many gods in this world,

Humans no longer have to live in the cracks of the battles between gods... They complained...

The kings, who blamed all this on the gods, developed strong hostility towards the gods.

By this generation, the king was old and finally sobered up a little from that twisted hostility.

...The three sons under his knees could not resist the temptation, and each joined a faction of gods. They received the support of the gods, and all of them were eyeing their own thrones.

The only daughter left is too naive and not good material to become a king.

The gods seemed to have noticed his little move but did not take action yet.

But why is there no action? Or simply ignore his dying struggle?

The old king could only sit on the throne day after day, thinking sadly about the future of the kingdom.

With no successor, he began to compromise.

He admitted his own insignificance and that it was impossible for him alone to defeat the gods.

If a country loses the protection of gods, it will bear the risk of invasion by other countries that have the protection of gods.

With no choice but to seek refuge from those hateful gods,

So is there such a benevolent God in this world——

A God who is willing to do good to mankind and protect mankind while not restricting human freedom?

And to be able to protect this land under the attention of the gods, he must be a powerful god.

The old king asked his "friends"——

Unable to come up with an answer, the "Friends" set out on a journey to find the answer.

Search for such a god!

Lao Wang knew that he was a little fanciful, too extravagant, and a little unrealistic.

But his time is running out.

Once a person starts to be anxious, once he is cornered, he will do anything, and he will try any absurd idea if possible.

then--

After a certain traveling businessman returns.

"Epic...?" Lao Wang looked at the books in front of him with a somewhat disappointed look, and then a trace of despair, struggle and madness flashed in his eyes.

How could it be possible that the innocent singing of a troubadour could save this country.

At this time, he even had a kind of demonic barrier, why not go crazy while he was still alive!

The efforts of several generations of kings - will it end with him? No, no!

At least if he dies, he will drag those three traitors with him to hell!

As for the kingdom, although he still wanted to save it, he couldn't see the slightest hope.

Even if there is half a hope,

He would not hesitate to sell his soul to the devil in the abyss.

The old king, who had always focused on fighting wits and courage with the gods, never cared about the current popular trends in the continent, so he did not know that the epics in front of him were fundamentally different from the epics he knew.

Otherwise, he would not be completely ignorant of the epics that have begun to spread in remote areas such as the Eastern countries and other races.

But after all, it was the traveling merchant's wish, and the old king was still prepared to take a look.

He asked many people to search for the 'answer' secretly.

He also took out a lot of property from his own private treasury for funding.

The old king no longer even worried about the gods seeing his thoughts. Human beings cannot hide secrets in front of the gods.

It is estimated that the gods did not take this human king seriously.

Then the result of the struggle was——

What most people brought back was unsatisfactory. A small number of them were used in the country to improve people's living standards, but they still couldn't completely save the country.

The old king has long been used to it——

That wandering businessman, even if he was a demon sent by the gods to play tricks on him——

Gods who want to laugh at him or fool him, just come over, his face is no longer important.

Perhaps a person who is about to drown will desperately reach out to grab a straw even if he sees it.

He doesn't want to give up any possibility! Just to complete the obsession that generations of kings have not completed.
