Noble Emblem

How many years has this thing like a miracle not appeared?

At least not for the last hundred years... Most countries have no interest in recording history. Only a few organizations or races are interested in recording short-term history. The elves themselves are a history, but it is limited to the history of the elves, so about There are only legends about miracles, and people no longer know the specific time and place of their occurrence.

But now...the real miracle appears before our eyes, right in the sky.

The major sects began to pray desperately, hoping that the gods they believed in could send a miracle, but... it was simply impossible.

It is very difficult for people to talk to God. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to transmit their thoughts and ideas to the kingdom of God. Even the pope of any sect must perform special rituals if he wants to talk to God, which is very time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Beta is the most unique existence among all the popes. He can tell some things to Woking through Shirley, and Woking can frequently summon Beta to the Kingdom of God, so the two of them can talk.

But other gods would not summon the Pope to the Kingdom of God, not even the thought of it.

In the eyes of most gods, the pope is just a mortal with a special title, because it is impossible for mortals to face the true form of gods unless they die and enter the kingdom of God as the Holy Spirit.

But Beta is different, perhaps because of his relationship with the aliens, or perhaps because of his talent as a 'materialist'. He can look directly at the true form of the gods, and Woking's personal views on Beta are even more intriguing.

The appearance of this miracle of wealth caused many organizations to update Beta's information. They didn't know until now that Beta turned out to be a pope.

Many organizations or individuals who had dealt with Beta were in a state of confusion, because they couldn't tell that Beta, who seemed to do whatever he wanted, could actually be a pope.

Beta's maids are often mentioned. Of course, the most talked about one is Shirley, followed by the former Queen Angel.

Not many people know Shirley, but the former Queen Angel is known to many big shots... Many male nobles are very envious of Beta. Many people want to have something happen with Angel, including the current king. , the former great prince.

But I didn't expect that this big cabbage would be taken over by a young man from Beta.

After the miracle, things about Waking City began to ferment. More and more people knew about Waking City's preferential policies, and more and more people began to plan to move to Waking City, especially the several territories around Beta.

Then, these lords began to complain about Waking City. After all, no one wanted their subjects to move to other people's territories on a large scale. Without the subjects, where would they get the taxes and soldiers.

People are the foundation of a territory.

The current situation is somewhat similar to that in the early stages of the game, but Beta can no longer attack all the surrounding lords and nobles like in the game.

First of all, without the help of other players, the strength of Waking City will naturally not be much stronger. Moreover, the most important thing is that now that the Holy War has begun to take shape, Beta does not want to make meaningless consumption.

Therefore, Beta took Shirley to walk among several major nearby lords for 'public relations'. After paying a certain amount of benefits, Beta reached an agreement with them. Beta would not accept their official subjects, but could accept them. Unwanted beggars and criminals.

Of course, you have to pay some gold coins.

In this way, Beta spent nearly 300 gold coins to 'buy' around 6,000 beggars and criminals from various surrounding territories. These people were properly resettled. The criminals went to forest farms or construction sites outside the city to undergo "reform through labor." Beta formulated relatively standardized labor conditions for the prisoners. Based on their performance, it was confirmed that they had "reformed their evil ways." Once there are signs of death, they will try to restore their status as free citizens.

Many of the criminals were wrongly accused. After all, we cannot expect the fairness of the legal system in a medieval feudal society.

These people were also screened out by the newly trained young priests of the Woking Temple, and their grievances were cleared up. Then they brought a group of believers to the Woking Temple, and Woking also received a fairly stable source of faith power.

Of course, after those beggars became freedmen and received a piece of land outside the city, most of them became light believers in the Cult of Wealth.

It can be said that compared to three years ago, when there was only Reed Village with more than a hundred believers, the Wealth God Sect now has hundreds of thousands of believers in the three cities combined, and is already qualified. It's called a small sect.

The number of residents who moved from far away gradually increased, and after half a year, Waking City already had a population of about 40,000, which was only about 10,000 short of Beta's small goal.

But the calm was soon broken.

Emma was seriously injured again. This time she was escorted directly to Waking City by the people from the Temple of Storms.

Seeing the furious Emma lying on the quilt of the carriage, with her eyes closed and her face as golden as paper, Angel couldn't help crying and whispered her daughter's nickname.

Beta's face was a little gloomy, and he asked the priest of the Temple of Storms next to him: "What is going on? Why is it always your saint who is injured?"

The priests who escorted Emma here are all women... Because of Emma's status, the male priests of the Temple of Storms are generally not allowed to touch her.

One of the female priests had a sad face and said bitterly: "We lost, the Pope... died in the battle, and the saint was seriously injured."

Hearing this, Beta couldn't help being surprised: "The Pope died in the battle? Didn't your Temple of Storms always have the advantage? How could it suddenly become like this?"

"The Spider Queen has joined the war, and she has formed an alliance with the Zoroastrian Cult. Our rear was attacked by the drow elves, and the Pope..."

The female pastor couldn't speak anymore. She and the other female pastors held their heads in pain, and an almost despairing mood spread among them.

Spider Queen Rose... Beta said to Shirley: "Inform the goddess about this, and I will see if I can treat Emma."

Shirley nodded.

Beta gently picked up Emma's little body and took her back to her own room.

It seemed to be lighter again... Beta slowly put Emma on the bed, then cut into the system, took a look, and her expression became a little ugly.

The system showed that Emma was cursed... by the Spider Queen's gaze.

The signature skill of the drow elf envoy, at the expense of one hundred years of life, attracts the spider queen's divine power into the body, and then radiates it out, cursing an enemy and causing it to die within two months.

Almost no solution...almost!

If Beta reaches the legendary level, it is very possible to crack it with a range-type 'Mistra's Great Stripping Technique', but now he is still far away from the legendary level and it is impossible to do it.

Glinton is a legendary person...but he is a pure physics professional, so it is impossible to break the curse. The same goes for Morton and Ans of the elves, but what they are good at is the natural magic of the elves, not the neutral arcane magic, and the Mythra arcane solution. Most of them don't know how to do it.

Beta frowned, feeling a little irritated.

Although Angel's focus was always on Emma, ​​she still noticed Beta's expression.

Seeing that even Beta had an annoyed look on her face, a bad premonition appeared in her heart.

Angel stretched out her trembling hand and gently grabbed Beta's arm: "Betta, will Emma be okay?"

Looking at Angel's eyes that were filled with hope and fear, Beta felt very blocked and a little uncomfortable.

Mystra's great arcane solution is now a lost magic. If Beta issues a bounty, he is willing to hand over its model for legendary level magicians to learn. There must be someone at the Arcane Magic Tower willing to come and help.

But... the arcane solution is not that easy to learn. Even a person with twenty points of intelligence will need at least half a year to learn this legendary level of locust magic.

It took Beta a year to master it in the game, and due to the magic experiment, the backlash of the arcane solution caused his death at least ten times.

In this world, people only live once. When the legendary magician from the Arcane Magic Tower comes over, considering safety issues, the progress will definitely be delayed. It is estimated that it will take at least more than a year to learn. By then, Emma will have already No more energy.

Looking at Beta's dull eyes, Angel felt her head buzzing and almost fainted.

Beta quickly held the shaky Angel tightly and said, "It's not completely impossible, but I'm only 30% sure."

A glimmer of hope surged in Anji'er's heart, and her extremely pale face finally turned a little rosy: "Thirty percent is fine, it's better than nothing."

Beta remembered that there was the divine body of the angel Clodia in Hell. As long as Emma was brought there and touched the flakes of faith on its wings, it would most likely be able to exorcise Emma's body. The curse.

After all, Crodia is an angel of light, and her power can restrain the dark curse of Spider Queen Rose.

But the fragments of faith are too powerful. Emma is still far away from the legendary level. It is difficult for her to withstand the power of the Angel of Light. Even if most of the power of the fragments will be consumed by the curse, it is still not the current Emma who can fully withstand it. of.

The probability of success is only about 30%, which is still looking on the bright side.

"No matter what, let's try it while Emma's spirit is not completely broken. The longer it is delayed, the weaker Emma will be and the smaller the chance of success will be."

Angel nodded, she would not doubt Beta's judgment.

Beta is the Pope and the most knowledgeable person she has ever met. If his judgment cannot be trusted, then no one can trust it anymore.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke behind them.

"Beta, you seem to be in a little trouble, do you need my help?"

Beta and Angel both turned around at the same time, and Angel rolled her eyes and fainted.

Mortals cannot look directly at the true form of gods... Even Aqua, the gentlest of gods, is as sun-like to ordinary people.
