Don't call me evil god

Chapter 350 The gradually intensifying conflict

What made Petwin finally step into Ceylon City with courage was that he saw a group of Crusaders wearing silver armors through the city gate.

Behind the Crusaders, there was a group of people dressed in dusty clothes.

Seeing the people of the Glorious God, Petwin was relieved.

Fortunately, the situation was not the worst.

Since the people of the Glorious God were still there, it meant that the city was not completely conquered by the monsters.

Petwin hurriedly took two other "second-generation nobles" whose fathers were also in Ceylon City and ran towards the Crusaders.

After revealing their identities, they received corresponding protection.

"What?!"

"The Countess is trapped in the castle and can't get out?"

"The Glorious Cult has taken over Ceylon City?"

"The citizens have been gathered in the refuge camp and supplied with supplies?"

"The threat brought by the disaster is very serious. Bishop Henry Tran is preparing a large-scale divine ritual to guide the gods to descend and eliminate this disaster?!"

Pe Twain was shocked and dizzy.

"What about the other nobles in the city?"

He was concerned about his father, Viscount Tostin.

He soon got the corresponding answer:

"The Countess is trapped, so the temporary manager and commander of the city is Bishop Henry Tran. The noble professionals are also gathered in the refuge camp, waiting for the large-scale divine ritual to be completed and rescue the Countess."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"The supplies in the refuge camp are not sufficient, and they need to be collected in the city?"

The news learned from the Crusaders was more explosive than the other.

The only thing that could make him feel relieved was that his father was fine and he didn't have to worry about fighting for the family property for the will.

But the situation was still very bad.

Petunia knew it all with his toes.

The Countess with rank 5 strength was trapped, and the regional bishop of the Glowing God Church was preparing a large-scale divine ritual for this.

This matter was probably not something he could solve by killing a few monsters.

Following the teams collecting supplies, they arrived at the so-called refuge camp.

Passing through the wall of wooden stakes and fences, the environment inside made Petunia frown.

People.

People everywhere.

Temporary refuge, the conditions are definitely not as good as normal houses or hotels.

All the people in Ceylon City were gathered in this small area, and crowding was inevitable.

Most people hugged or leaned on the packages containing their own belongings and supplies, with vigilant looks in their eyes.

They were afraid that their things would be stolen.

With the Glowing God priests maintaining order, robbery, violence and the like would definitely not be allowed, and stealing was also a prohibited act, but——

If there is no evidence, there is no way to charge the thief.

Petunia soon learned the reason for their actions.

A bag of water purified by divine magic costs 20 copper coins;

A piece of bread, with half a portion of pickles and cheese, the price soared to 1 silver coin!

A blanket, which usually costs only a few dozen copper coins, also soared to more than 2 silver coins!

Petunia was shocked when she heard the price.

The territory of the Church of Knowledge, located in the Dark Forest, does not have such exaggerated prices.

There are even many things that are cheaper than in Ceylon.

One silver coin is enough for him to order a large table of sumptuous and tempting meals in Xiwei Territory, and eat until he bursts his stomach and can't finish it, but here he can only buy food for one meal.

The prices of all supplies have generally increased by more than 20 times.

What made Petunia feel even worse was that:

When he arrived, a "fierce" conflict was breaking out at the scene.

Both sides of the conflict were arguing, but because of the rules set by the Glorious God that fighting and violence were prohibited in the refugee camp, no one dared to cross the red line.

One side was a group of citizens who looked ordinary, and it seemed that they had gone out to look for supplies, so many of their clothes were stained with a lot of dirt and dirt.

The other side...

... was Petwin's father, Viscount Tostin.

"At this time, why are you still holding on to your purse tightly? When you pledged your allegiance to the king, didn't you say that you would protect civilians!"

"Stingy! Miser! You are watching people die without helping, violating your noble oath!"

A middle-aged citizen with a sly look pointed at Viscount Tostin and cursed.

Viscount Tostin was also angry and his face was red.

He angrily fought back:

"Parasite! Vampire! Why do you blame me!"

"I am loyal to the king and I protect your lives, not your property!"

"Isn't the refugee camp safe enough? Aren't your lives secure enough?"

"Why should I take out my wealth to supply you with materials!"

"The laws of the kingdom stipulate that private property is sacred and inviolable. You are blackmailing and extorting!"

The middle-aged citizen did not give in. Even though the person in front of him was a noble viscount and a powerful 4th-level warrior professional, he was not afraid at all.

Because Bishop Henry Tran had promised everyone in the refugee camp in front of many citizens:

"No matter your birth, whether you are rich or poor, whether you are strong or weak, you are all the people of the God of Light who treat you equally."

"He will protect each of you without distinction, you are all equal."

"In the place where the Lord's gospel is spread, the strong should protect the weak, and the rich should help the poor."

"This is the Lord's doctrine and the morality of glory."

This promise became an important basis for the citizens to criticize Viscount Tostin!

The middle-aged citizen with shifty eyes cursed more and more harshly:

"You noble parasites, you obviously have a lot of taxes, but you are unwilling to donate even a copper coin to the Glowing Church."

"The daily use of Glowing magic to eliminate our pain and dispel evil requires so much material consumption that the church is already out of money. In recent years, they have been borrowing money from the king to make up for their expenses."

"Why don't you donate coins?"

"The bishop has said that it is not that they want to set such a high price for the materials, but that the magic ritual that Bishop Tran is preparing requires a lot of precious materials and wealth."

"Therefore, they can only give priority to providing materials and help to those who are willing to contribute to the Glowing Church."

"Everyone knows that the richest and most powerful people in Ceylon are you noble lords!"

"You are not afraid of monsters, you have enough materials to protect yourself."

"We don't, we need help!"

Petwin was shocked when he heard it.

He didn't expect that the biggest conflict that was intensifying would come from the citizens and nobles of Ceylon City.
