Chapter 163: Seal of the Martyr

Next comes the routine investigation and review of the deceased.

Isabel found the apostle who had not yet sunk into the Sea of ​​Death. After communicating with him, she relayed everything to Lu Yao.

"My lord, this [Xiao Shen] is an apprentice god who has only appeared in this era. He is collecting faith in order to enter the Temple of the Gods as soon as possible."

"He has three kinds of miracles. The first is [Miniature], which will shrink the target by a hundred times. Although it cannot affect other attributes, it will take a very long time for the target to move. This miracle consumes a lot of the fire of faith, and each time it is used, it needs to rest for a while before it can be used again."

"The second is the [Mist Spirit], which can create a [Mist Spirit]. There is no limit to this. The Mist Spirit can only last for a period of time, and then it will disappear."

"The third one is [Hurricane], which can control the power of the wind."

Lu Yao heard it.

It seems that he is not really a god like the Whistleblower.

As a new player, this [God Xiao] is quite powerful.

Isabel continued, "Papaloukas created a special kingdom of God in the clouds. Its [Flying on the Clouds] ability can maintain a small fog island."

"The statue of the god Xiao is hidden in the clouds, floating on the edge of this new northern continent."

"Papaloukas is a cloud giant. Because of insufficient rainfall in the past, it was punished by the Rose Kingdom and sealed in an ancient bottle. Xiao Shen found it and released it, transformed it into an apostle, and asked it to maintain the Mist Island."

"Papaloucas found humans from various small islands, and Xiao God performed miracles and the [Kingdom of God], gradually converting them into believers..."

Unlike the gods Lu Yao had dealt with before, the God Xiao never thought of getting close to the believers.

His strategy was to stay high above and always in the safety of the clouds. He asked Papaloukas to bring some people to the Kingdom of God in the Clouds and then perform miracles, using this operation to create deterrence and awe.

The advantages are concealment and simplicity.

Therefore, Xiao's followers are quite scattered. Only the prophet and the hero lead a group of fixed followers, and they hide in the snow-capped mountains all year round.

Xiao launched an attack on the ice and snow giants in order to control the giant elders, conquer this group of giants, and then drive them to control the entire new northern continent.

After accumulating for a long time, Xiao Shen is ready to leave from the edge of the world and march into the land.

As a result, in the first battle, he met Lu Yao who was watching the opening of Dragon Nest and passing by. It can only be said that his luck was not very good.

There was one thing that Lu Yao was very concerned about.

How did Xiao accumulate so much faith?

Is it just... saving every day? "Sir, Papaloukas said that Xiao God relies on the Holy Scripture to gain more faith."

The so-called holy scripture is a ritual created by the god Xiao.

Papaloukas would occasionally bring the apostles to the Kingdom of God in the Clouds so that they could worship the statues of the gods. At this time, Xiao would perform miracles.

The most common method is to first use a hurricane to sweep a person away, and then summon a [Mist Spirit] to replace the person. Then the apostle tells the little people that this believer has been promoted to a servant of the Kingdom of God because of his devout faith.

Or, let Papaloukas use [Ride on the Clouds] to control the clouds and create all kinds of magnificent and strange scenes, so that believers can be immersed in them and find it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Such personal experience is simply shocking to the little people in the pixel world.

As a result, the holy scriptures often cause fanatical worship among believers, and Xiao can repeatedly collect faith from the same group of people.

But it didn't last long.

Soon the believers got used to the power of the gods and it became difficult for them to become fanatical.

After entering the bottleneck period, Xiao's faith growth completely stagnated. He then launched external conquests, starting with the ice and snow monsters closest to the land.

"...Xiao Shen wants to increase the population and faith through formal external expansion. He wants to concentrate the believers on this land."

Lu Yao understood.

Xiaoshen wants to go ashore.

The Holy Scripture was the [Sunfall Festival] he forcibly created. He was too eager to squeeze the faith of every person, directly overdrawing the potential of the believers in advance.

Lu Yao still prefers the festivals created by the little people themselves.

Nowadays, the [Falling Sun Festival] continues to provide faith to me, although not much, only a few dozen to a few hundred at a time. But it is a long-term flow, and it is growing steadily with the increase in population.

All in all, Xiaoshen tried to transform from making quick money, but failed.

Lu Yao is very interested in the cloud giant.

In the world of Blast Furnace, the Cloud Giant is a kind of nature spirit that can control the clouds and rain. It is a great waste for Xiao Shen to use it in battle.

The Cloud Giant is a good helper for farming! Lu Yao invited the Cloud Giant, but was politely declined.

Isabel relayed tactfully: "Papaloucas said that he is very grateful for your recognition and appreciation, but he is really tired of fighting. If he becomes an apostle but does not participate in the battle, it would be a dereliction of duty and a shame."

"The Xiao God has fallen. He is no longer willing to fight."

Lu Yao immediately recalled.

Cloud Giants have a [War Exhaustion] trait.

No wonder in the Blast Furnace world, when the Cloud Giants saw that the Blood Knights and the Dwarves were about to take real action, they panicked, were unwilling to fight, and even took the initiative to negotiate.

Lu Yao settled for the next best thing and invited Papaloukas to move into the ghost town of Sanilo.

There is no need to fight over there.

Saniro is a city where ghosts gather. Most of them have experienced various hardships and battles in their lifetime. Now it is a nursing home for extraordinary lives. Former apostles like Papaloukas are gentle and suitable for that place.

This time Papaloukas agreed.

Isabel carried its ghost all the way into the ghost town.

The Cloud Giant officially entered Saniluo and was warmly welcomed by Mayor Chapman.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Papaloukas became a weather forecaster here and became a colleague of the ground meteorologist Shahan, bringing rain to the farmlands and forests outside the city from time to time.

After finishing up the follow-up of the War of Gods, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The god players have many different ways of playing, especially in terms of how to fail, which gave Lu Yao a lot of inspiration.

However, the Yeti got a trophy from Xiao Shen, but he didn't have time to see it.

Lu Yao opened the prop bar and moved the mouse to find the last one in the long drop-down bar.

…

[Martyr's Seal LV2]: Faith +1/hour.

After a period of time, the believer will become a [Martyr] and complete his martyrdom.

…

When Lu Yao saw this prop, he understood everything.

No wonder the belief in Xiao God grew so quickly in the early days.

He uses the population as fuel. When there is a lack of faith, he simply stamps the believers and turns them into martyrs for self-sacrifice.

Most gods who entered this fragmented world only saw it as a springboard. They made their first pot of gold, accumulated enough faith, and ascended to the Pantheon to gain a higher ceiling.

At present, only Lu Yao regards this place as his own private land and runs it diligently.

Therefore, Xiao Shen wanted to create martyrs to drain the last of the faith, but Lu Yao wanted to erase the martyr entry.

Lu Yao still remembers Hemira's self-sacrifice vividly.

Most of the little people were very hardworking during their lifetime, busy participating in construction and labor, and it is time for them to enjoy the fruits of their labor after death. Saniro is a place of leisure prepared for them.

Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to the situation in Saniro for a while.

Lu Yao turned his view to the sky above the ghost town.

This sight left him with a lot of questions.

In the city of Sanilo, apart from the ghosts of the indigenous people, other supernatural creatures are also roaming around, strolling and shopping.

Just the ones Lu Yao saw were sandworms, dwarves, Corrupters, cave monsters, and even his previous enemies, the man-eating crabs, and elves from the far south... They came in groups of three or two, and seemed to have gotten used to wandering around this city.

What on earth is Saniro doing?

Lu Yao noticed that Mayor Chapman was next to several man-eating crabs.

The mayor said: "Saniluo City has a long history and is protected and favored by Lord Yao. It has beautiful scenery and a comfortable and relaxing life. Friends from all walks of life are always welcome to settle here. It's just that because the city is small, there is a shortage of houses in the city."

"Through the unremitting efforts of the citizens, the city has now been expanded and the construction of the outer city has been officially completed. We welcome you all to come and settle down. As long as you purchase a house, you will enjoy the status of a resident of Sanilo City!"

Lu Yao was speechless.

Maybe this is what they call mayors think alike.

Sanillo has also joined the race to swoop in to clear out the city's housing stock.

What is different from Yancheng is that here people are fighting for various extraordinary creatures, monopolizing the vast blue ocean, and there are no competitors at all.

Lu Yao is also looking forward to Saniro's future.

Thanks: The Crying Madman supported 1500 Starting Coins, and the Pentakill from the bottom lane bush supported 100 Starting Coins.
