Chapter 384 The darkness before dawn
Under the dark sky of eternal night.
During this period, death and pain almost became the main theme of Ceylon.
But for the timely and critical rescue provided by the followers of the God of Knowledge.
For ordinary people in small towns and villages, it is still unknown whether they can survive by chance.
To be fair.
All those who have received help from believers seeking knowledge in disasters must admit that it is these warriors and heroes who are not afraid of death and give them the motivation to persevere.
They are already much luckier than their relatives and friends who died at the hands of monsters.
At least they can still survive.
But whenever they recall the memories related to the deceased, they can't help but feel depressed.
More than one person has fantasized about the sudden eternal night disaster.
What if... this was just a nightmare that I haven't woken up from yet.
When dawn comes, everything will return to its original state and get back on track.
But this seems to be a beautiful hope.
The reality is that when things turn for the better, they take a turn for the worse and get worse!
Because the Glow God Cult is coming.
……
The damage caused by the disaster is all-round.
The impact of wandering monsters means that people's former homes are likely to be directly destroyed by monsters.
Even if they can escape the destruction of monsters, they dare not go back to live under the threat of void pollution.
In the worst case, even if the disaster is over, they will become a new group of refugees after losing their homes and sources of income.
At this time, it is the believers who seek knowledge who are guiding them and bringing them hope!
They were moved one after another to the vicinity of Qim Town by the believers seeking knowledge.
Over there, someone told them about the big expansion plan for Qim Town.
The monster pollution here has been basically eliminated, which is enough to support long-term residence and stay.
Don’t worry about your income source either.
The upcoming expansion of Qim Town requires the recruitment of a large number of manpower, ranging from manual labor to craft work, enough for everyone to find a job suitable for him.
These knowledge-seeking believers also promised that when the expansion of Qim Town is completed, they will find ways to take the lead in building a larger, more formal and efficient production organization here!
From crops, to minerals, to various magic and magical materials, as well as various secondary processed products, people will be recruited in the expanded Qim Town. They just need to work hard. , you can get the reward you deserve!
Even under the crisis-ridden eternal night, with the protection of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, they were diligently carrying building materials and encircling the future expansion of the Qim Town wall according to the planned plan.
Everything seemed to be turning around, and they began to gradually accept the pain of losing relatives and friends.
But the priests and crusaders of the Glow Cult arrived in Qim Town.
The believers of Qiuzhi Church did not make things difficult for ordinary people.
As soon as the Crusaders and Glow Priests arrived, they all quickly withdrew from Qim Town and escaped into the dangerous wilderness.
This left the Griffin Legion Commander, who was still hesitating whether to expel the heretics, speechless.
The other party left without any nostalgia.
What is left to the Glow God Cult is a town of Qim that can be taken over directly.
And that even saves them the process of slowly gathering people from various villages and small towns.
In addition to the citizens who live in Ceylon City, other people from the entire Ceylon Territory area should have gathered here!
This was supposed to be a good thing.
The actual situation is exactly the opposite.
As the number of people increases.
The food, drinking water and other materials that need to be consumed every day, as well as the needs in various aspects, are also doubling in complexity.
Everything is piled up, and we are exhausted.
Ordinary people are increasingly dissatisfied with the order maintained by the Glow Cult after it took over. The Glow God Cult retained the plan to build the city wall and continued to mobilize ordinary people.
However, there is a clear difference between working for the Glow God Religion and working for the Seeking Knowledge Church.
The former will not pay any compensation for the labor of ordinary people.
The only reward they provide is that only those who participate in the construction of the city wall can receive the supplies for the day, otherwise there will be no food.
One person has one supply, which can barely guarantee basic survival.
All existing materials are taken over by them, distributed and processed uniformly.
Knowledge-seeking believers are different.
They do not provide supplies, but provide a special "banknote" as payment.
The more you do, the more you get paid.
It is like a pattern left on the paper, with a corresponding number drawn on it, which represents the denomination of the banknote.
If you need supplies, help, or anything else, you can use these banknotes to buy it at the exchange point opened by the Qiuzhi Church.
People who work hard and diligent can get more rewards.
Even worse is the attitude towards the deceased.
The priests of the Glow God Cult just arrived, randomly selected a few people and applied glow magic to provide them with treatment, and then began to promote their gospel:
"To Glow God Your firm faith has been rewarded, and you have received help from the church!”
"Those who died at the hands of monsters, there is no doubt that their beliefs were not pious enough, so they did not receive the Lord's blessing. This is the punishment they deserve!"
"What you have to do now is to be unconditional Please obey the guidance of the priests, the messengers of the Lord!”
“Don’t worry about disasters!”
“Have you seen these powerful holy warriors?”
"When order stabilizes, they will officially go out to eliminate this disaster on your behalf!"
The words made the ordinary people who survived feel even more heavy.
Hell.
They don’t want to hear about who has firm beliefs and who needs to be punished.
The death of relatives and friends is enough to make them sad.
At least, it would be nice if the disaster could end soon!
But the Crusaders still stayed in Qim Town to maintain order and did not eliminate the disaster as the priests preached.
On the contrary, those seeking knowledge believers who have left have heard many people say that they are going to try to end the source of the disaster that caused Eternal Night.
For these ordinary people, what they are concerned about now is: when will this disaster end and how long will it take for their lives to return to normal.
Originally, they all vaguely felt that they had seen the dawn.
I thought the disaster would be over soon.
As a result, as soon as the Glow God Sect came and the followers who sought knowledge left, it felt like... the eternal night became even more difficult!
Although the threat of monsters is no longer the main pressure, there is not much hope in their lives.
Many people toss and turn during rest and have difficulty falling asleep.
As soon as you close your eyes, you will think of those friends and relatives who have passed away, and of the simple but at least fulfilling life you once had.
What kind of life are we living now!
Hungry and cold.
The long night of ignorance.
There is no hope for the future.
If this is a dark nightmare, then it must have an end!
