Chapter 5: You can shout as much as you want, but you can never kneel down. You will never kneel down in this life.



Jiang Jin walked away from the wind, but after only two steps, she was already shivering all over and her nose was running. This was not acceptable. Jiang Jin stood in a corner sheltered from the wind, opened the warehouse, and chose a piece of clothing that could keep her out a little.

She quickly put the fashion on and only breathed a sigh of relief when her skin felt a little warm. The little guy was still wrapped in the plush scarf that Walton had worn. Jiang Jin blushed, "I forgot to return this to him. I should have left two more gold coins for them."

The city of Achunkant was very deserted. The biting cold wind mixed with ice and snow hurt Jiang Jin's delicate face. She wanted to find a hotel to temporarily avoid this terrible wind and snow, but after walking for nearly half an hour, she didn't see any human beings.

None of the shops on the street were open, so Jiang Jin walked into the alley.

Logically speaking, even if it is snowing and windy now, and everyone is staying at home, there should be lights in the room, right?

But Jiang Jin wandered around in all those alleys and couldn't find any rooms with lights on. Finally, she saw a head peeking out from the rooftop. Jiang Jin's eyes lit up and she greeted, "Hello! I'd like to ask how to get to the hotel nearby?"

The person who stuck his head out had an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and suddenly retracted his head, closing the window as if Jiang Jin was some kind of monster.

It was really strange. Jiang Jin's face was extremely pale because she had been in the snow and wind for too long.

She looked up at the window that closed silently, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly crossed her heart.

The map of the game "Overlord" is very large. Jiang Jin is a pay-to-win player. She directly leaves things like leveling up and going through the story to the power leveler. At most, she uses her account to go to beautiful places to look at the scenery and take screenshots.

The background of the game and the story of the mainland, Jiang Jin is like a blind man going out, with no eyes, and knows nothing.

The situation has become like this, there is no point in regretting it. Jiang Jin gritted her teeth and slowly walked out of the alley in the cold wind.

She didn't know where to go and just left it to fate.

Well, God closed a door for her, but he was not so cruel as to weld the window shut.

Jiang Jin came out of the alley with her head down, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere around her was not right. She looked up and around, her body was startled, and she took two steps back stealthily.

My goodness, this huge crowd is full of people!

Why are you all gathered here? Jiang Jin quickly walked into the crowd and tried to minimize her presence. She picked out a kind-looking, plump woman and asked, "Sister, what are you doing? Why are so many people gathered here? Is there something going on?"

Linna was already in her forties, and her children were old enough to run around the streets. She felt so comfortable being called "sister" by such a young and beautiful girl. She didn't mind her awkward appearance and whispered to Jiang Jin, "You're a foreigner, right? This is the High Priestess! She's here to save our Achenkant City!"

"Master Priest?" Jiang Jin really didn't know what this thing was.

Lina pulled her and pointed to a place with her chin. Jiang Jin looked in the direction she pointed and saw a woman in a white robe standing on a high platform.

On each side of her pure white robe were embroidered a golden sun and moon. She wore a holy crown on her head, had a compassionate expression, and held a half-human-high scepter in her hand.

This is a magician. Jiang Jin narrowed her eyes. Although she didn't know what a priest was, it did not prevent her from recognizing the clothes on the priest. He was a light messenger who could perform magic.

A bloated man with thinning hair knelt at the priest's feet. Lina spat at him. "This unscrupulous fellow, relying on his position as the mayor of Achkant City, exploits us in various ways every day. We all pray that he will resign soon. God bless you!"

"The God of Light must have seen everything and had pity on us, so he sent the High Priest to deal with him!"

"God of Light!" Lina said God of Light several times.

Jiang Jin smiled and said, "Goddess of Light."

Only after becoming a real member of the game could Jiang Jin personally experience how devout these people were in their belief in the God of Light.

As a materialist, Jiang Jin didn't believe these things, but she wouldn't say anything extravagant, and could even calmly follow suit and say, "Only God can do it."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

This is a particularly spacious square. The high platform in the middle looks very abrupt. The priest stood on the platform and loudly listed the bad things that the Lord of Achenkant City had done in the past few years. Jiang Jin pricked up her ears and listened for a while.

Most of them were about bullying men and women, including raising taxes more than ten times, forcing many people to sell their children, and even commit suicide because they couldn't raise enough money. Jiang Jin felt an uncontrollable rage in her heart when she heard it, and she wanted to go up to the city lord and give him a slap in the face.

"The above are your sins. Do you have anything else to say?" The priest looked down at the city lord with pity.

The city lord hung his head and said nothing, as if he had lost all his temper.

The priest averted his gaze, no longer looking at him. He lightly tapped the scepter in his hand on the platform, and instantly, light blue ripples spread out from the bottom of the scepter in circles. "God of Light, I hereby declare that Timothy's city lord card and power are confiscated, Timothy's noble status is immediately stripped, and he is sentenced to... death!"

Her voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could hear it clearly, as if the priest was telling them the conclusion of the judgment.

Just as he finished speaking, a beam of white light descended upon the former Lord of Achenkant City.

The people who saw this scene were filled with fanaticism and piety. They all knelt on the ground and shouted, "God of Light, have mercy on you!"

Lina fell to her knees and excitedly shouted "Light God", which scared Jiang Jin. Especially the buzzing sounds coming from all directions made Jiang Jin's ears hurt.

Everyone knelt on the ground, lowering their heads humbly. Only Jiang Jin was standing alone in the crowd, holding the little one in her arms.

A bit too conspicuous.

The priest looked at her, his gaze lingering on the fashion Jiang Jin was wearing for a while, then moved around the little one in Jiang Jin's arms and Jiang Jin's face, before slowly retracting his gaze.

She had no intention of arguing with Jiang Jin, and Jiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she learned of her thoughts.

You can shout as much as you want, but you can never kneel down. You will never kneel down in this life.
