[Chapter 254: Invitation from Gwen’s Father]
Holy Light becomes the main belief of Winter City, which is what David hopes for the most.
If the locals of Brunnia continent do not believe in Holy Light, but believe in the gods in the temple, he will have a headache, and even don’t know how to deal with it?
Fortunately, things did not develop in that direction. Raines’ missionary work in Winter City was very unsuccessful, and the people of Winter City had no interest in the gods in the temple.
The reason is simple: Holy Light can effectively help people solve problems such as injuries and diseases; the priests of the Holy Light Church help everyone do everything they can without asking for anything in return.
What about the temple? I didn’t see that missionary really help!
Because of this “philosophy of life” of the Holy Light Church, the believers of Holy Light can always be recognized by people in the shortest time. The believers of Holy Light who do good things everywhere without asking for anything in return will also be regarded as messengers of justice by many people.
In conjunction, David, who uses Holy Light, also has a good reputation in Winter City.
Maybe the new residents don’t know what Holy Light is? But the old people in Winter City do not think it is troublesome to popularize this information for these latecomers. They even enjoy it and add fuel to the fire. They say to these latecomers, “You are right to come to Winter City. You should have come a long time ago. I tell you… blah blah blah blah…”.
The newcomers may still have some doubts at the beginning, but when they encounter troubles and ask for help from the priests of the Holy Light Church, those young priests will do their best to help until the problem is solved… or find someone who can help solve the problem.
In this case, the missionaries of the Temple can hardly move forward in Winter City. Raines now has no idea what to do. He keeps thinking whether the situation in Winter City is special? Or is his ability not good enough? Is it really so difficult to bring the favor of the gods to the north?
In this case, his mental state has not been very good, and Wilcox and others have obtained more information, including the so-called “old gods”.
Listening to Van Cleef’s report, David was surprised to find that the old gods called by the temple were actually the goddess of harvest, Leluti, and the god of war, Seher.
“The Goddess of Harvest and the God of War are the old gods?”
“According to the information Wilcox has inquired, it is true.”
David touched his chin. The temple called the gods who helped humans overthrow the Dark Elf Kingdom and enabled humans to gain a foothold on the Brunnia continent the old gods, and they were obviously hostile to them. In other words, the many gods worshipped by the temple were not from the same faction as those two?
It seems that the behind-the-scenes manipulators on the human side are much more complicated than the situation on the dark elves side?
Of course, it is also possible that these behind-the-scenes manipulators are originally fighting each other, and all races including humans are just pawns of the gods, and the ownership of these pawns does not belong to a specific god?
“This situation is getting more and more chaotic!”
David chuckled and did not dwell on these situations too much.
With his current strength, it seems that there is no need to dwell on the factions and struggles between the gods, and he is not going to lead these pawns out early.
At present, his target is still the various races on the Brunnia continent. In the process of fighting against these pawns, he continues to accumulate strength and prepares for the higher-level battles that may occur.
Gently waving his hand, indicating that Van Cleef could continue to do his own thing, David turned his chair and looked out the window. Thick clouds had appeared in the sky outside, causing the northern land, which was still a little bright, to fall into darkness early.
The lights in the office had been turned on long ago. When Van Cleef left, Helen came in and asked David to go to dinner.
“You didn’t continue to rest today?”
“Don’t underestimate my physical fitness. I have recovered.” Helen looked rosy and energetic, and her tone of voice was slightly higher than usual.
Anyone could see that she was in a good mood, especially the upturned corners of her mouth, as if they were hooked up.
“Especially after going to the underground city.”
After the training and baptism of the underground city, Helen’s physical fitness has indeed improved a lot, and her temperament has also changed a little.
The original Helen was beautiful and delicate, as if she was a fragile porcelain that needed to be well cared for.
Now Helen is still beautiful, but that sense of fragility has faded a lot. As for the temperament that makes people care and love, it will only be shown in front of David.
“Wait until the delegation led by Sutton-Stewart leaves, then I’ll take you to continue playing the dungeon.” David originally wanted to clear the normal difficulty in one go, but he happened to catch up with the delegation’s arrival in Winterfell, and there was also the matter of Princess Sofia, so he had to put this plan aside for the time being.
Following Helen to the restaurant, he found that Laura, Eva, and Gwen were all sitting at the dining table. The servants of Glamorgan Castle had already laid out the food, waiting for David, the male host, to take a seat.
“So many people are here today! What’s up?”
“Nothing, it just happens that everyone is here, so we just have dinner together.” Laura saw David sitting down, and she picked up her knife and fork and started to enjoy the food in front of her: “It’s not often that we sit together to have dinner like this, right?”
“It’s mainly because Gwen can’t stay here often.” David glanced at Gwen, and suddenly remembered the leather from before. He wondered what Gwen did with it?
“You mean that thing? I asked Pierre to help me make it into equipment, but it will take a few days to get it.” Someone started the conversation. Gwen felt a little strange in the atmosphere, but she still chatted: “Vanessa and I learned something new these two days, and I suddenly found that I seem to have the talent to become an assassin.”
“Are you learning stealth?”
“Yes!” Gwen performed for everyone on the spot. Everyone saw Gwen sitting on the chair suddenly disappear gradually. Although some outlines could be vaguely seen, if you didn’t look carefully, it seemed that there was really nothing there.
After a moment, Gwen’s figure reappeared, smiling at everyone, as if waiting for everyone’s praise.
“Great!”
Learning stealth comes with huge risks. It is said that when Stormwind’s Military Intelligence Department 7 trains intelligence personnel to learn stealth, a large number of trainees have accidents every year, such as entering the gap between shadow and reality and never getting out, or falling directly into another plane, etc.
However, learning any mysterious knowledge has a lot of risks. In addition, Gwen is learning very smoothly now, so there is no need to pour cold water on her in this situation.
When they are in private, David is going to remind Gwen to pay a little attention. In this kind of occasion, just praise her hard and it will be over.
Moreover, the topic started by Gwen made the originally strange atmosphere completely disappear. After all, it was not the first time for the girls at the dinner table to meet. Previously, they worked together to kill monsters in the dungeon!
“Great, I can only learn the priest’s holy light spell.” Eva said that after leaving the dungeon, she tried to learn some new things. Unfortunately, only the priest’s holy light mage learned quickly by herself, and she could not learn other knowledge at all. Helen said that
she had not even started with the holy light. She was having a headache now. What kind of power should she learn?
Hearing Helen’s problem, Eva gave her own suggestion: “Holy Light? If you really can’t learn it, you can ask David to help you.”
Laura gave another option. If Helen is not interested in Holy Light, “Arcane is also OK. I heard that Sharon has been learning the combat skills of the high elf lawbreakers brought by Sylvanas during this period.”
For the people of Winter City, Holy Light and Arcane Energy are currently the two easiest energies to master.
As more and more people use Holy Light in Winter City, the latter can not only learn and comprehend it by themselves, but also ask familiar people to help instill Holy Light.
As for the latter, since Pierre Newton came to Winter Town, it has become very simple to obtain Arcane Energy. The real difficulty has become “whether this energy can be mobilized.”
As long as Helen can mobilize Arcane Energy, it is actually a very simple thing to obtain Arcane Energy.
In this case, as the lord of Winter City, the woman can completely choose according to her preferences.
In addition to Helen’s hesitation about which power to choose, Gwen is also discussing similar topics with David, but she doesn’t want to learn any power, but wants to learn more combat skills.
After the battle in the dungeon, she found that what she lacked now was not some mysterious power, but systematic learning of how to fight.
“It is indeed my negligence!” David also overlooked this point. Gwen was originally just an ordinary high school student. How could she know how to fight?
In addition, Helen was in a similar situation. The two of them had a good performance in the dungeon before, mainly because they were looked after by David and Laura… and the difficulty of the dungeon was relatively low at this time.
“What skills do you want to learn? Firearms? Daggers? Short blades? Long swords?”
“I want to learn hand-to-hand combat.” Gwen’s reason was very sufficient. In her own world, she could not take out weapons at will. Some small conflicts were better resolved with bare hands. As for the use of weapons, she would certainly learn.
“Of course!”
“By the way, there is another thing.” “
What?”
Gwen originally wanted to talk to David alone in private, but looking around, Helen was discussing the various powers with Eva and Laura, and she probably didn’t notice her.
So she came close to David and whispered to him, “My father noticed that I have a boyfriend, so he wants to invite you to my house.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly found that the surroundings became very quiet. She turned her head slightly and saw that the other women had stopped discussing and were staring at her and David.
“Well, I’ll see if I’m free someday soon.”
