Carl's figure appeared in a stream, and the gurgling water quickly wet his clothes.
"Rivers are changing course?"
He remembered clearly that when he left, he was in an open area and there was no stream nearby.
And now.
The surrounding mountains are rising and rivers are flowing.
It was obvious that there were strong men fighting nearby, causing the terrain to change drastically. It looked like a third-level battle.
“Level 3!”
Carl looked up at the gradually collapsing crescent moon: "This world has begun to accommodate the power of the third level. It seems that ordinary people have no choice."
As he spoke, he felt around himself and pulled out a piece of paper used for communication, which was already covered with words.
After taking a quick look, Carl sighed: "Sure enough!"
The gods in another world reached a consensus that the followers of the gods would no longer fight among themselves, but would join forces to eliminate the followers of other gods, even if they had fought to the point of bloodshed before, they would have to put the cooperation on hold for now.
Carl's former friends told him that the previous alliance was invalid and reminded him that he'd better find a way to leave this world.
otherwise……
Sooner or later, there will be a day of war.
“No one has ever asked the thoughts of ordinary people in this world, whether they are gods of this world or evil gods from outside the domain.”
"Too!"
"To them, ordinary people are just harvesting the nourishment of faith. How can they have any say?"
Shaking his head, a flame appeared in Carl's palm, burning the paper in his hand to ashes to prevent being tracked.
After determining his direction, he walked towards the west.
…………
Tin Town.
From the outside it looks like a very ordinary town.
Carrying a large broadsword on his back, Carl walked along the streets of the town until he came to a dilapidated temple.
He placed one hand on his chest and bowed to the old man who was cleaning in front of the door: "Believers Connie, request to join the temple."
According to the soul memory he obtained after killing someone, this is a secret base where the Paladins gather.
Carl plans to sneak into the temple to see if he can find something left behind by the Moon Goddess and obtain the source.
and,
This is the gathering place for the natives of the other world and it is relatively safe.
If possible, he planned to spend the next ten years or so in the temple and recuperate at the same time.
"..." The old man stopped and looked around:
"Come with me."
The two men entered the temple one after the other. The old man moved the candlestick, and a passage leading to the underground immediately appeared.
Picking up the oil lamp, the old man looked back and said, "It's rare that there are still people willing to believe in the Moon Goddess."
"Uh..." Carl paused, "I have always believed that the Moon Goddess has not completely fallen, but I don't know how to join the Holy Temple."
"I got the news not long ago, so I hurried here."
"Hmm." The old man did not comment: "You came at the right time. The Holy Hall is in need of people right now. You should follow the Second Elder and do some work first."
"Second Elder?"
"Buck, Holy Knight Buck."
"I mean, doesn't it require any tests?"
"..." The old man paused, then chuckled softly:
"The temple is different now than it was before. What is needed is not loyalty, but how to survive."
"An alien evil god has descended upon this world. Blasphemy is inevitable, and the temple must also make changes."
Carl was thoughtful.
From the memories he searched, the Holy Temple was extremely secretive and cautious in order to avoid encirclement and suppression by several Grand Dukes.
Unless they were babies brought up in the temple, anyone joining midway would have to go through numerous tests to prove their devotion to the Moon Goddess.
Once you leave the temple, you can hardly return for the rest of your life.
Even people who have lived in the temple for decades are not clear about its exact location.
And now...
It seems that everything is kept simple.
“Buzz…”
Pushing open a heavy stone door, a place similar to a dormitory appeared in front of Carl.
He glanced at the stone gate, his expression unchanged.
The stone door is heavy and not easy to push open, which means that the old man in front is a legendary knight.
Is the legendary knight so worthless?
The old man pushed open a door and saw a four-person room with two people already living in it.
What's strange is.
It turned out to be a man and a woman.
The man had a gloomy face and cold eyes; the woman had a loli face and an exaggerated mature figure.
Carl looked back speechlessly.
"There's not much room to choose from." The old man shook his head. "Besides, you are all children of God. What's the problem with brothers and sisters living together?"
"Hello." Loli face stood up and took the initiative to speak: "Rachel, his name is Hume, what is your name?"
"Connie." Carl bowed: "Connie Bergman."
"Connie." Rachel nodded:
"It's time for dinner now. Come with me. I'll help you get familiar with the environment here."

Hume said nothing, but stood up, took the knight's sword beside him, and casually slung it around his waist.
The cafeteria is very big.
It's also very lively.
There were at least a hundred people dining here, with all kinds of noise coming and going, which was completely different from the scene in my memory.
In memory.
The church base is solemn and dignified. Apart from the sounds of chanting and prayers, no other sounds can be heard.
And now.
It was messy and disorderly, more like a gathering place for a gang of bandits.
"There are many benefits to joining the Holy Temple." Rachel explained while holding a large bowl filled with meat:
"Meat is enough to fill us up, and it's the meat of exotic beasts, which will help us temper our bodies."
"You can go to the martial arts studio later and find Old Yellen to choose a martial art. What is your level of cultivation?"
Hume paused and looked up.
"Great Knight." Carl thought for a moment and said:
"I hope I can find a way to become a legendary knight here."
"Great Knight?" Rachel's beautiful eyes lit up:
"At your age, you can become a great knight and have a great chance of being promoted to a legend. As long as you work hard, the Holy Hall will not hesitate to give you rare items containing the origin. Now is different from before, and rare items containing the origin are not too rare."
Hume nodded.
"how?"
Carl smiled and said:
"You joined the Holy Temple to increase your strength?"
"Yes." Hume spoke for the first time, his voice slightly hoarse, "I want to become a legend, and if possible, try to become a holy knight. Only the Holy Temple can help me."
"Me too." Rachel smiled. "Legendary knights can live to be 200 years old and still maintain their youthful looks. Beliefs in gods cannot do that."
"That's because you don't have a sincere faith." Hume said in a muffled voice: "If you have a sincere faith, you can enter the realm of God after death, and you can stay young forever in the realm of God."
"Heh..." Rachel curled her lips:
"You believe this too?"
Carl was thoughtful.
It seems that after experiencing the war between gods, the knights of this world have lost their trust in the gods.
Joining the temple is just to make yourself stronger, not for faith.
The temple has also changed. In the past, it only recruited devout believers, and people like Rachel and Hume could not join at all.
Now……
It should be to deal with the invasion of foreign gods.
Martial arts training room.
“Bang!”
A dwarf threw out a thick booklet and roared: "You can choose any of the skills and martial arts in here, but you can only choose one. If you want to choose a second one, you must complete the task assigned by the Holy Hall."
"Also, you are a great knight. If you want to obtain the origin artifact, you also need to complete the mission and accumulate enough merit to exchange it."
Karl flipped through the book and looked at the other party:
"I want to know what the tasks are?"
"Hehe..." The dwarf grinned: "Can't you wait?"
“Yes!”
He threw out another thicker book.
"The missions are all in there, check it out for yourself."
