Chapter 208: Emperor Rhodes and the Heretical Sects Lurking in Various Countries

Lear didn't care much about Lareina's request. Half a year was enough. He believed in Mena's talent, or rather, in her memories of her previous life.

After that, Li'er had a lot of free time. The Blood Temple was being built in an orderly manner. During this period, Dival also brought people from the Church of War to see it. After seeing the giant wolf and a large number of powerful blood elves, he was very melancholy.

But you can't go back on what you've already promised.

Among the player community, more and more people are rushing towards Soros, most of them are coming for the Blood Temple.

This is all thanks to Li Huanhuan. Li Er's blood incarnation told Li Huanhuan the reason for building the Blood Temple, which was to spread faith among the alien community.

The Blood Law profession will be fully open to players, but the requirements for changing jobs have doubled compared to the initial 100-plus people, and a new way to change jobs with gold coins has also been added.

Li Huanhuan released all this information, which naturally attracted a large number of players who were pursuing power.

At the same time, in addition to the Blood Sect, some other heretical sects are also emerging in various kingdoms.

…

Rhodes Empire, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Rhodes laughed as he looked at the information in his hand. "Ulysses, did you see that? This Blood Cult doesn't take you seriously at all."

"He wants to openly build a temple in Soros to spread the faith, and even wants to change Ophelia's faith!"

The casual smile echoed throughout the hall, and the soldiers guarding not far away looked at each other when they heard the sound.

Under the throne, an old man in a gold-rimmed robe looked grim after hearing Emperor Rhodes' laughter. He snorted coldly, "Humph! They are just a bunch of heretics who don't know how to live or die."

"Really? I heard that even Dival compromised with the Blood King and allowed him to build a temple in Soros. Even we were qualified to build the Golden Cathedral in Soros because of the oracles of the three goddesses." Emperor Rhodes restrained his smile and spoke while looking at the letter in his hand. His words revealed his interest in the Blood King.

"Your Majesty, we are all believers of gold. The other party is challenging the majesty of gold. You shouldn't laugh at the Holy See." The old man finally couldn't help it and retorted to Emperor Rhodes.

"Ulysses, you are right. We are all believers of gold, but I will not recognize your Golden Church." Emperor Rhodes' tone became cold. "You arbitrarily tampered with the teachings of the goddess and turned the Golden Church into what it is today. I remember that the goddess has not responded to your prayers for a long time."

"Enough! Gross, everything I do is for gold, so now the Golden Church is above the War Church and the Arcane Council!" As if a sore spot was touched, the Golden Pope directly said the name of Emperor Rhodes.

The hall fell into silence. Emperor Rhodes, sitting on the throne, looked at the Golden Pope indifferently, "Then you have to solve the matter of the Blood King by yourself. The Empire will not help you."

"I don't need the empire's help. A mere pagan believer can be annihilated with a wave of my hand!" said the Golden Pope angrily.

Emperor Rhodes shook his head and said nothing more. The Golden Pope turned around and left the hall directly.

Only after the Golden Pope left did Emperor Rhodes reveal a disdainful expression.

"The teachings of the Goddess are to treat all living beings fairly, whether they are heretics or believers of gold. Gold is inclusive and never arbitrary!" he said to himself.

After the Golden Pope left, the knights who had been waiting outside the hall walked into the hall and half-knelt respectfully before Emperor Rhodes.

"His Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"Traces of a heretical sect have appeared in the imperial capital," the knight whispered.

"A heretical sect?" Emperor Rhodes showed a surprised expression.

This is the imperial capital of the Rhodes Empire and the headquarters of the Golden Church. No heretic sect would dare to come here.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a magical rhythm of red lightning in the west of the city. It does not belong to the three major orthodox religions." The knight replied.

"Were there any casualties?"

"No, it seems he is just testing his abilities."

Emperor Rhodes fell into silence. Thunder and lightning were indeed not the power of the three major sects. The War Pope was in charge of the storm, the Golden Church was the Holy Light, and the Arcane Council was fire, ice and arcane, all of which were different from thunder and lightning.

"Let's ignore it for now, as long as he doesn't endanger the imperial capital." Emperor Rhodes made a decision, "Well, don't tell the Holy See about this, and send more people to patrol later."

"Yes!" The knight accepted the order and left the hall.

…

West of the imperial capital of the Rhodes Empire.

A figure covered in a black cloak walked out of the alley, and there were many players walking back and forth on both sides of the street.

"Damn, the professions of the Blood Cult are too strong! It seems that the Royal Guards of the Golden Church are too weak! Even the Judge can't compare to them, right?" A player squatted on the side of the road, waving his hands in the air in front of him, and exclaimed from time to time.

"I heard that the Blood Cult is about to build a temple in Soros Royal City to recruit players. Should we give it a try?"

"But we have already changed jobs. Can we still change careers?"

"Didn't you read the official information? Every player has one chance to change their profession for free, but they can only change to a profession of the heretic sect."

"Excuse me." Just as the two were talking, a figure in a black cloak walked up to them and asked, "What is this Blood Cult you were talking about?"

The sudden voice interrupted the conversation between the two players. They looked over and saw a man in black with no ID on his head. He was an NPC.

There are NPCs who actively look for players. Is there a mission? One of the players showed an excited expression, "My friend, the Blood Cult is..."

The player began to explain incessantly, while his companion on the other side looked at the man in black in front of him with some suspicion.

"You mean this heretical sect called the Blood Sect ignored the Golden Church and directly established a temple in the Soros Royal City, intending to spread their faith?" The man in black said in disbelief.

"Yes, I tell you, the Blood King is a powerful hero! Even the Pope of the Church of War has to give him face!" the player continued.

As he was talking, his companion beside him pulled him.

"What's wrong?" The player was stunned.

"Look at this!" The player next to him said excitedly, pointing at the information he had just discovered.

Name: ? ? ? (Ancient Dragon Follower Elite) Level: 55 (Intermediate) Occupation: Dragon Soul Warlock

Favorability: Normal

Danger level: Highly lethal "What the hell, heretics?" the player couldn't help but say it out loud.

The man in black also changed his expression at this time, "Are you investigating me?"

"This big boss..." The two players showed excitement on their faces.

All players are interested in heretical sects.

Some players are curious, after all, heretical sects are very rare, some players want to report to the Golden Church to get some benefits, and some players want to switch to a heretical profession.

So far, the only ones known to players are the Blood Sect and the Morning Star Sect of Lear's wife Miria.

The power of the Blood King and Milia is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which also makes the heretic sect popular among the player community.

The ancient believer in front of him was obviously a heretic.

Ancient dragon! Dragon!

Dragons are extremely powerful in any game, so how could a sect that believes in ancient dragons be weak? Just when the two players were about to kneel down and lick their thighs, the man in black in front of them took the lead and two bright red lightning bolts popped out from his hands, directly knocking the two people unconscious.

[You are attacked by a lightning chain and fall into a paralyzed and dizzy state for 60 seconds]

A system prompt appeared in front of the two people, and they fell to the ground before they could say anything. The last thing they saw was a pair of golden pupils under the black robe.

…

[Ancient dragon believers suddenly appeared in the capital of Rhodes! 】

In the Pope's Hall, Li Er looked at the posts in the forum and raised his eyebrows.

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

Other heretical sects are finally beginning to come to the fore.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, there are the Ancient Dragon Sect of the Rhodes Empire, the Morning Star Sect of Kalia, the Blood Sect of Brefield, and the Wild Beast Sect of Soros.

These are relatively well-known heretical sects. The main plot of Brayfield in the previous life was to attack the Blood Cult believers hiding in the Faro Fortress, that is, Lear.

The Stuart family was destroyed as a result.

Princess Milia of Chenxing was taken to Kalia. With the protection of the Arcane Council, the Golden Church had no choice but to give up.

The Wild Beast Cult, which believed in barbaric laws, took the initiative to provoke a war with the War Church during the War Trial, which resulted in the War Church suffering heavy losses in the War Trial.

In the end, they were completely wiped out by the encirclement and suppression of the War Church and the Golden Church. It can be said that they were courting their own death.

As for the Ancient Dragon Sect that believes in the laws of the ancient dragons...

Li Er remembered that the other party seemed to be a member of the royal family of the Rhodes Empire.

The other party's ending was not good either, just because she chose the most difficult way, which was to usurp the throne!

The former Emperor Rhodes was a reincarnated being who eventually usurped the throne. This ancient dragon believer intended to follow in her father's footsteps, but unfortunately failed in the end.

After taking a look at the increasing number of comments in the post, Li Er shook his head. No matter what these heretical sects would do, he couldn't control them now. They were too far away.

It seems that the only one who can intervene is the Wild Beast Sect hidden in Soros, but the game has been launched for a long time, and this Wild Beast Sect seems to have not existed and has never shown up.

"What are you thinking about?" In the house, Milia walked to the balcony, looked at Li Er and asked with her head tilted.

Looking at the lovely appearance of the girl in front of him, it was hard for Lear to imagine Miria as such a majestic goddess.

I prefer to keep this attitude... He complained in his heart, then smiled and said: "I'm thinking about the heretical sect."

"A heretical sect?" Millia was stunned.

"Are you talking about us?" All she could think of was blood and the morning star.

"No, not us." Li Er shook his head. "By the way, Milia, can you use your astrology to help me see the future?"

"What do you want to do?" Millia's expression became serious. Astrology is an exclusive ability of the Morning Star Law and it is also a feared ability.

So even Millia rarely uses it. From her awakening to now, Millia has only seen the future related to Lear.

And it is only used when there is concern about Lear.

"I got the news that there is a heretical sect hiding in Soros." Li Er said softly, "I hope you can help me find them."

"What do you want to do with them?" Milia asked with a frown.

"Let them join the Blood Cult." Lear stated his intention.

This was an idea that Lear had had a long time ago, to unite all the heretical sects and establish an alliance, so that even if the Golden Church really launched a large-scale attack, it would be able to resist.

Although he is not particularly afraid of the Golden Church with his current strength, once the main mission is released and the Golden Church orders a purge of heretics, the players will be divided.

He was not afraid of the Golden Church, but if the Golden Church raised an army to attack, he could only hide in the old dream of the Blood King City. After all, the blood elves had only a few hundred people, which was completely different from the Golden Church that had been passed down for so many years.

He can hide, but it's different for those players who have switched to the Blood Law profession.

It is too easy to detect each other among players. Those players cannot hide for too long and will be caught. The most likely outcome is that they will be imprisoned by the Golden Church.

Li Er can also choose to bring these players to the old dream, but it is difficult to guarantee the loyalty of these players if they stay in the old dream.

No player likes to be a coward when playing games.

Therefore, if you want to truly fight against the Golden Church, in addition to attracting more players as quickly as possible, you also need to unite with other heretical sects.

"You want another heretic sect to join the Blood Sect? Don't you think that's too far-fetched?" Millia said unhappily.

The Golden Church judges heretics and is the enemy of all heretical sects, but the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

Behind every heretical sect stands a god who survived the destruction. Want one god to bow to another? "Maybe so, but I want to try it." Li Er smiled.

In his imagination, if he had not come to the Royal City of Soros, he would have turned the Faro Fortress into the headquarters of the Blood Cult, attracted more heretical sects, and finally made the Faro Fortress the base of all heretical sects.

When the barrier of the Decision Mountains is opened, players will stop at the Faro Fortress when heading to more advanced maps.

Build the Faro Fortress into a transit station connecting the advanced map and the initial map.

There are one million game players now, and this is just the first batch of players. More gaming equipment will be distributed later, and more game players will arrive.

By then, there will be many heretical sects in the Faro Fortress, and there will also be more heretical professions for players to choose from.

This also increases the influence of heretical sects among the player community, allowing the Blood Sect and many other heretical sects to compete with other orthodox sects in high-level maps.

Heretical sects do not have as many believers as orthodox ones, so they can only make up for it among the players.

Thinking in his mind, Lear suddenly smiled and shook his head. He was already daydreaming before he even started thinking.
