Banner of the Evil God

Compared to the first-level combat readiness of the Void Mask Church, the Lord of Mysteries and his followers did not show any intention to fight, and seemed quite peaceful. They ate when they should eat and slept when they should sleep, with a spirit of "Let the wind and rain blow, I will remain unmoved", and seemed to not take the Void Mask Church and the gods who secretly allied with Sui Xiong seriously at all.

This made Sui Xiong feel very complicated. He was angry at being underestimated, but more of a little relaxed.

If you can avoid fighting, it is better not to fight!

Although everyone knows that the conflict between the two churches is inevitable, and the war between the two factions of gods is only a matter of time, it is always better to delay it for a day.

It's like everyone knows that people will die sooner or later, but who would go to slit their throats at a young age because of this?

Oh, there really is, a lunatic.

Sui Xiong is not a lunatic, so he does not oppose this temporary peace. On the contrary, he hopes that the peace in front of him can last longer.

It was not to prepare fully - even if the war started now, he didn't think he was not prepared enough, he just didn't want to fight.

On the one hand, he kept his troops in place, and on the other hand, he didn't want to fight, so this war that everyone thought would be a great battle was delayed, and there was no movement for more than half a year.

Instead, another thing attracted a lot of people's attention.

The Church of the Goddess of Harvest and the Church of the God of Wealth fought.

Strictly speaking, this matter has something to do with Sui Xiong, or more accurately, it has something to do with the high priest of his church.

During the revival of Gars City, Leon Igor, as the archon, always kept a distance from the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, and has been using various small actions to prevent the Church of the Goddess of Harvest from restoring its influence in Gars City. At the same time, he vigorously strengthened his ties with the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and used official power, while the Church of the Goddess of Wealth expanded its influence in Gars City.

The key reason for this is money.

Gars City was completely in ruins after the war. To revive a city from this ruin, it naturally requires a huge amount of money. The amount of money was astonishingly large. Even if the entire Void Mask Church was put into it, it would only be a drop in the bucket. In this case, Leon contacted the Church of the God of Wealth and used the status of the official church in exchange for the strong support of the Church of the God of Wealth for the revival of Gars City.

The Church of the God of Wealth is one of the most affluent organizations on the main plane. Not to mention the faraway countries, it has a huge influence in the two countries of Dhaka Merchant Alliance and Gold Coin Federation, and even occupies the mainstream of the upper class. However, in the Blue Moon Kingdom, the Church of the God of Wealth has not been able to develop well. From the God of Wealth himself to the priests at all levels of the church, they all want to make a difference in the east of this continent.

Reviving Gars City is a rare opportunity for them!

So the Church of the God of Wealth not only took out a lot of money, but also sent a lot of elite warriors and clergy to form a very luxurious team to enter Gars City.

In general, the cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant. Leon had a good sense of proportion, allowing the Church of the God of Wealth to expand its influence smoothly without being seized by them; and after several attempts, the Church of the God of Wealth found that it could not take advantage of this legendary knight with great means, so it gave up the idea of ​​overwhelm the political power with the church and focused on the influence of the people.

This cooperation has been further developed after the establishment of the Storm Sea Foreign Trade House. The three parties have gained a lot of benefits.

However, when someone laughs, someone else cries. When the Church of the God of Wealth laughs, it is the turn of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest to cry.

Gars City has an important position for the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. It has always been a place similar to the center of the church. Although the entire church center was wiped out because of the earth-shaking war, the churches in various places have begun to think about establishing their own center, but in any case, its nominal status will not change.

Because of the relationship with the Church of the God of Wealth, the influence of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest in Gars City and its surrounding areas has been declining, and the number of believers has been decreasing. At the worst time, it was even deserted. Compared with the former prosperity, the church leaders wanted to bleed.

Of course they were angry, of course they were furious, of course they resented.

The target of their resentment was first the despicable Archon - but the Archon was alone, and his faith was a giant jellyfish that had no influence like him, so he couldn't find any target to retaliate against.

So they naturally put their resentment on the second target, the Church of the God of Wealth.

The two sides first argued, then quarreled, and then there were constant small frictions, and finally a fierce bloody conflict broke out.

In this fight, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest suffered a loss.

Don't forget that the central high-level of their church had died in that battle. Although there were still many masters, they either didn't want to contribute to the Church of Gars or their abilities were seriously biased.

In contrast, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth was a group of elites among the elites, with two legendary masters alone.

The Church of the Goddess of Harvest suffered a loss in several battles between the two sides, and even the chief priest of the Church of Gars City lost his life in an "accident".

The Goddess of Harvest was immediately furious and issued an oracle, ordering churches from all over the country to select elites and go to Gars City to compete with the Church of the God of Wealth. Even if they could not take back the authority of the church, they had to at least regain their face.

However, if He could send down an oracle to select elites, couldn't the God of Wealth?

In order to get the elites to Gars as soon as possible, the God of Wealth even visited Sui Xiong, gave him some benefits, and borrowed the portals of the Church of the Void Mask all over the continent.

Not only that, the God of Wealth also went to the God of Conspiracy to make a deal with the tiger, and let this expert who stabbed him in the back help him cover up the divine power reconnaissance.

So when the two sides officially started, facing the aggressive elites of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, the Church of the God of Wealth stood up with a group of perverted teams that not only had much more people and much stronger strength than them, but also had luxurious equipment to the point that even their teeth were equipped with gold braces.

In a fierce battle, the elites of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest died, and even their souls were intercepted by the God of Conspiracy - this was what He had agreed with the God of Wealth at the beginning, but the souls of all the believers of the Goddess of Harvest who died in this battle belonged to him.

After this blow, the entire Church of the Goddess of Harvest on the main plane was immediately severely damaged, and it would not be possible to recover for fifty years.

So, the goddess of harvest finally couldn't hold back.

So, the harvest of crops in the Gold Coin Federation and the Dhaka Merchant Alliance this year was simply tragic, while the countries around them had good weather and good harvests, and at least one acre of land yielded more than 30%, which was an unimaginable harvest!

Although the God of Wealth scolded the goddess of harvest in the Pantheon, the goddess of harvest played this edge ball very well. She did not deliberately let the Gold Coin Federation and the Dhaka Merchant Alliance have a poor harvest, but just poured a lot of divine power into the surrounding areas, and even threw the share that the two countries should have to the neighboring countries.

So, famine occurred.

Sui Xiong, the chef of the "Old Axe" tavern, or the time traveler Sui Xiong MK4, leaned against the heavy wooden door and looked at the hungry people with pale faces with worry.

These hungry people are almost all farmers. The harvest this year is not good, but the nobles have not reduced their taxes at all. After paying taxes, they can't even guarantee their food.

In this case, they can only borrow from merchants. However, most of the loans were rejected - the merchants were very cold and shrewd. They could see at a glance that these farmers did not have much money to make, so they would not waste even a copper coin on them!

The farmers who lacked food sold almost everything they could sell at home, but still could not buy enough food. In this case, many farmers gathered in towns with their families, because many good god churches would give out food.

The good god church could not give out much food, which was better than nothing for the huge group of hungry people. But for these poor people who were already penniless, this was their last hope to survive.

Sui Xiong looked at all this melancholy. He could imagine how terrible things would happen in late winter and early spring - although he studied art instead of history, the two "Refugees" by Zheng Xia of the Northern Song Dynasty and Jiang Zhaohe of the Republic of China were a matter of great importance in the history of Chinese painting. If a professional painter did not even know about this, he must be a fake, and the worst kind!

Sui Xiong is not an elite in the painting world, but he has completed the entire university course. The scenes of "Refugees", the corresponding records and stories, all emerged in his mind at this moment.

"Boss, can't we think of a way to do something for them?" He returned to the tavern depressedly and said to the boss, "If this goes on, at most two months later, there will be starving people everywhere!"

The boss with a full beard sighed deeply and shook his head.

He is not a heartless person, and he also wants to do something for these poor people, but what can a small tavern do?

During this period, he has reduced the price of food to the cost price, and he is not making any money at all. Every day, bread and other things are sold out as soon as they are baked.

This is all he can do.

"By the way, boss, aren't you an adventurer? I remember you have a very good crossbow, right?" Sui Xiong suddenly thought of something and asked.

The boss nodded, not understanding what he meant.

"Then lend me your crossbow, I'll take a few strong men to go hunting."

"You're crazy!" The boss was shocked and cursed, "Everything in the forest belongs to the lord, poachers will be hanged!"

"Hanging or starving to death are all death, is there a big difference?" Sui Xiong smiled sarcastically, "No matter what, we can't let them starve to death..."
