Chapter 179 The Bride of the Gods 17
God's gifts are scattered like stars and blend into everyone's body, just like snowflakes.
People in the square cheered as they received this year's blessing.
"Ula! My strength seems to have increased!"
"I got a gold coin!"
"My leg injury is healed! I no longer have to sit in a wheelchair!"
I don’t know why, but this year’s gift from the gods is particularly different. Multiple gods jointly blessed Tashati, just like opening a blind box. Everyone is different.
Yunzhi also received a blessing, but it was just a bag of silver coins, something she had no use for now, and it was better than nothing.
After the divine gift, Yun saw some light spots escaping from people's bodies and flying in a certain direction. She was thoughtful.
The God of Death on the side said quietly, "They are harvesting faith."
This is obvious.
God needs the power of faith, but God will not give it easily. Such faith is not pure enough and is not beneficial to them.
Of course, prayer itself does not necessarily require an answer.
God cannot interfere too much in human affairs.
At this moment, their behavior is no less than providing help in the snow, giving people what they have been waiting for for a long time.
Due to suffering, inequality, and desire for power, the faith of the common people is purer than that of the nobles.
This in itself is an exchange of interests.
There is no one in the world who truly believes in God wholeheartedly.
But this had nothing to do with Yun. She watched the celebration with relish and watched the magic fireworks come to an end. She only regarded herself as a passer-by from beginning to end, and this was an excellent performance.
She just wanted to end this journey quickly.
God's gift came, the fireworks ended, and everyone in the central square went home happily, thinking that they had gotten what they wanted.
"Let's go back too."
Go back and have a big meal.

After the celebration day, classes at the Magic Academy continued as usual.
The instructor of the history of magic talked about a period of history a thousand years ago. His tone was solemn, "The God of Light has given us the protection of holy light, so we are not afraid of evil spirits. However, evil spirits can combine with monsters and launch a tide of beasts. Witches hiding in the darkness The demon summoned the tireless army of the undead.”
"The endless army of undead made our warriors unable to fight. As a result, the Melli Empire was destroyed, and the rest of the empire's citizens also suffered countless casualties."
The instructor sighed, "That period of history was too tragic."
Some students don’t quite understand, “What is a lich?”
They all know about evil spirits. For magicians, just a little light magic can destroy these evil spirits with no intelligence.
But what is a lich?
They have never seen or heard of this history.
The instructor's voice was a bit vicissitudes of life, "The lich is a fire thief who has turned his back on humans and gods, and turned into an undead creature that is neither human nor ghost."
This caused students to wonder, what exactly is a fire stealer?
The students who originally thought the history of magic was boring and boring all scratched their heads, hating their instructor for half of what he said, especially Lokar.
"Teacher, what exactly is a fire stealer?"
"What if we meet? Please say a few more words!"
The instructor felt that he had talked too much and ruthlessly changed the subject, refusing to say more despite the students' pleading.
The fire thief won't come back.
the mentor thought. However, a few days later, the monsters in the monster forest became more ferocious, and there were faint signs of coming out of the forest.
The mercenaries who escaped sent a message to the Adventure Association: the eyes of the monster were red and there were traces of skeletons nearby.
All empires began to become restless.
Before the people who had just received the gift from God had time to experience the joy, they had to face the terrible fact that the beast tide was coming, and people began to panic for a while.
"...The fire thief appears again."
In the quiet room, Mr. Borgner let out a sigh.
Lokar couldn't help but ask, "So we still can't let us know what a fire stealer is?"
Mr. Borgner's voice was calm, "The fire stealers are counter-believers who try to steal the fire of the gods. They want to replace the gods. Therefore, undead magic was born. They can transform dead objects into undead creatures. The first fire stealer It just so happens to be a witch.”
"The fire thief wanted to sacrifice living beings and ignite the divine fire to become a god. The battle was so brutal that several agents sacrificed themselves to invite the gods to come to solve the problem."
"Since then, the alien race of witches and wizards has been unpopular. They are regarded as the same kind as the lich and are tied to the stake to be purified by the flames."
Mr. Borgner was silent.
What happened later was also known to Yunzhi and the others. The bloodline of witches was almost cut off, the wizard association also declined, foreigners were expelled from the country, and non-believers lost their citizenship. It was not until a few decades ago that things improved.
But it was only an improvement. As powerful as Mr. Borgener, he was also permanently branded, and Yunzhi's parents had to leave their hometown this time.
But the one who should be concerned right now is the fire thief.
Lokar was very worried. He was the son of the city lord. If the beast tide came and the lich reappeared, what could he do to resist them.
He couldn't help feeling annoyed, "It would be great if my family believed in the god of battle."
At this time, what can the God of Wealth bring to him?
Yunzhi glanced at him, wondering if this guy was disliked by the God of Wealth just because he often talked about this.
In order to avoid heavy casualties from the beast horde, she had to think of something to build, and make a batch of magic bombs in advance.
When thinking this way, Yun was suddenly stunned for a moment.
It turns out that when the crisis comes, she will still think about how to protect these people.
Obviously I only live for myself this time.
Yun was not one to get entangled, so he quickly devoted himself to the magic laboratory and started researching with several mentors.
In the tense atmosphere, the students worked very hard. The Potions students worked hard to make potions, the Alchemists made some highly lethal weapons, and the Magicians made some magic protective gear.
Tashati's escort team also patrolled nervously, and the mercenaries only dared to form groups on the outside for exploration.
During this period, Yunzhi also returned to her territory.
Of course not by flying there.
There is a magic teleportation array in Tashati, and her territory has become an earldom. The teleportation array was just built some time ago to facilitate her passage.
Yunzhi went to the territory to carve a large protective formation, which Mr. Borgener taught her alone. She also left behind many potions and magic tools, as well as some large magic scrolls she made.
The beast tide is a full coverage mode. Crazy monsters come from all directions and are endless. Each territory can only deal with it alone, and it is difficult to wait for rescue.
Fortunately, I was finally given time to prepare, so I wouldn't be caught off guard.
After explaining the matter, Yunzhi continued to spend time in the laboratory, working together on some killer weapons. In addition, she also had to find time to make magic pockets.
This is an order from His Majesty the King to contain battlefield supplies.
Suddenly, a storm is coming.
