Game of the World Tree - Chapter 859

Chapter 855: Cyber’s Mission

Figures like Old John are not uncommon throughout the empire.

Among them, there are many tall figures.

In the western part of the Holy Mannia Empire, in a large city with a population of more than 200,000.

At the northern end of the city, in a dilapidated and dirty urban area.

The low-rise buildings are full of age, privately built dangerous buildings can be seen everywhere, the bumpy roads have been in disrepair for a long time, full of dirty puddles, and the discarded domestic garbage in the corners is almost piled up into a mountain.

The air is full of buzzing flies and insects, and is filled with a sour smell of corruption, but the residents living here have long been accustomed to it.

They are ragged, pale and thin… Either curled up in a corner, or sitting in a half-open dangerous building, their hands are constantly busy, doing some simple work such as weaving straw utensils.

This is a world that seems to have been forgotten.

Only the laughter like silver bells that sounded from time to time brought some color to this world.

They were young children, thin but with bright eyes. They were jumping around and playing beside the stinking ditch. Although they were wearing ragged clothes, they were as happy as little angels.

This was a slum.

Slums like this could be found almost everywhere in the cities of the Holy Mannia Empire.

Most of the people living here were bankrupt farmers, craftsmen, some disabled professionals, low-level mercenaries, etc.

They were forgotten by the world.

No one knew how the earliest slums were formed.

However, according to various historical records of the empire, since the center of the empire began to confer titles on nobles and expand cities, there have been more and more dilapidated urban areas.

Some evolved from old urban areas with poor repairs and aging public facilities; some were formed by farmers who lost their fields after the nobles occupied the land and were forced to come to the city to seek a livelihood.

The nobles hated these areas and never set foot here, and the rich people in the inner city were also afraid of the public security here and rarely came here…

Suddenly, a hooded figure appeared on the street in this area.

When the children saw this figure, their eyes lit up and they surrounded him instantly. Even the poor people in the corner had a little more color in their eyes.

“Master Cyber! You are here!”

The children shouted excitedly.

Hearing their cheers, the hooded figure paused slightly.

He loosened the hat on his head, revealing half of his handsome face with a smile.

“Master Cyber… It’s Master Cyber!”

“Master Cyber is so beautiful!”

The children’s eyes lit up.

And Cyber waved to everyone gently.

Gradually, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, the whole lifeless slum gradually came alive.

More and more poor people gathered, and there was a little more light in their eyes, like light in the dark.

The fastest runners were the children.

They quickly gathered in front of Cyber, their eyes full of excitement and expectation:

“Master Cyber, you… I have memorized what you said last time!”

“Master Cyber… what are you going to tell us this time?”

“Can you tell us about the Maple Moon Free Territory again?”

“No, I want to hear the story of the Frost Elves!”

The children chattered excitedly.

However, they soon received an old scolding:

“What are you buzzing about? Master Cyber is our distinguished guest, be obedient!”

It was a white-haired old man, he was as old as a dry and cracked dead wood, with nothing below his right leg, and he supported his body with a cane.

However, he had a strong aura on him, and as soon as he spoke, the children instantly quieted down and became honest, only pouting and sticking out their tongues at him when he couldn’t see, or making a face.

The old man was a disabled professional and the most prestigious person in the slums.

He limped to Cyber, holding a cane in one hand and tremblingly drawing a not-so-standard life scepter symbol on his chest with the other hand:

“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree… Goddess Eve!”

“Master Cyber, we have prepared the room. What are you going to say to everyone today?”

The old man looked at Cyber expectantly.

The other poor people also looked at him with eager eyes.

Cyber smiled slightly, took out a crystal projection gem from his arms, and said:

“I brought some image stones today, and I will show you some information about Maple Moon Free Territory.”

“In addition, continue with the last class and analyze the seventh chapter of the appendix of the Holy Scripture: Life, Rights and Struggle…”

After hearing Cyber’s words, the poor people looked more and more expectant. They surrounded Cyber and came to the most imposing house in the civilian area.

It is said to be imposing only relative to other buildings in the slums.

In fact, this is an abandoned chapel that once belonged to the god of trade.

Of course, now this place has been completely abandoned by the priests, and even the statues and holy emblems have been taken away.

The chapel was cleaned very cleanly, and a few bunches of freshly picked wild flowers were placed on the windowsill. The poor people gathered here also wore their most decent, least patched and cleanest clothes as much as possible.

In the center of the church, there is a small wooden statue. The statue is none other than Eve.

Of course, if you look closely, you will find that this statue is different from the statue enshrined in the Church of Life. It has no light of faith, has not been blessed by the goddess, and cannot communicate with the gods.

But as a spiritual sustenance and as a thing of faith enlightenment, it is enough.

As Cyber entered the chapel, more and more poor people came here.

Soon, the whole church was crowded with people, and even the windows were full of heads.

However, although more and more people gathered, everyone was very quiet, looking at Cyber in the center of the church with expectant eyes.

Cyber smiled slightly. He faced the statue of the goddess, bowed gently, and drew a symbol of the scepter of life on his chest:

“Praise the goddess!”

Soon, all the poor people followed suit and said in unison:

“Praise the goddess!”

Cyber nodded gently, took out the projection stone from his arms, injected magic power, projected the magic image on the wall, and smiled:

“Everyone has always been very curious about Maple Moon Free Territory. Before starting today’s class, I will show you a magic video of Maple Moon Free Territory.”

“Maple Moon Free Territory is one of the best areas to practice the goddess’s faith. I think… after watching this video, everyone will definitely have a deeper understanding of the power of the Church of Life…”

After saying that, Cyber activated his magic power and played the video.

This video was specially recorded by the players, showing all the beauty of Maple Moon Free Territory to the world.

Even Cyber himself, after watching this magical video, couldn’t help but feel a little yearning for the Maple Moon Free Territory.

There is no doubt that for the vast majority of the poor people in the empire who have never seen much of the world in their lives, the rapid development of the Maple Moon Free Territory depicted in the video, the peace and prosperity depicted, brought about an incomparable shock and impact on the soul.

And all of this was brought by the great world tree, the great goddess of life, Eve.

The magic effect was played slowly, and the poor people stared with wide eyes, watching eagerly and attentively.

When they saw the hot air balloons and airships soaring into the sky in the video, they couldn’t help but let out bursts of exclamations.

When they saw the dreamlike magic lights falling in Zerolan at night, they couldn’t help but let out a burst of amazement.

And when they saw the interviews with the refugees in the video, and saw that the other party had gone from a fugitive with nothing to a respectable and wealthy new citizen in less than a year, they would be even more surprised and yearning…

Facing the scorching eyes of these poor humans, Cyber felt a little sad.

Before entering the human kingdom, due to the background of the game “Elf Kingdom”, he had never had a good impression of the empire, nor did he have a good impression of the civilians of the empire.

However, after a deep understanding of the society of the human empire, Cyber found that most people were just poor people who were oppressed by the nobles and exhausted by their livelihood.

He vaguely remembered that when he came here half a month ago, the residents here were still very wary of him, but now, they finally accepted him.

Of course, this is also inseparable from his day-to-day efforts in the past half month.

Looking at his system message, the completion of the system task has reached 95%.

That task is nothing else, it is the missionary task that has been quite popular among the priest players of the game recently.

However, unlike the previous missionary tasks, this missionary task is aimed at the civilians of the empire.

As a gold professional, Cyber accepted the highest level one –

[High-level priest trial task: Spark of Fire]

The goal of this task is to develop at least 500 life believers in the empire, so that the other party will recognize the belief of the goddess from the bottom of their hearts and be willing to fight for the goddess.

The biggest difference between this mission and the previous mission is that it mentions that the new believers should cultivate the fighting spirit.

This is not something that can be achieved by the simple deception of the missionary boss Demacia, but it is necessary to make the new believers understand the teachings of the goddess and awaken the courage to fight against the nobles…

Cyber has no doubt that the plot of “Elf Kingdom” will progress to the transformation and war of the human kingdom.

He is still looking forward to this matter. It is also a very exciting thing to be able to personally participate in a transformation in the game and lead the NPCs to create a new era.

As for the spread of personal reputation and the large amount of rewards from the system in this process, he doesn’t think much of it.

There is no way, the frost elves give too much…

Cyber thinks that he has gotten rid of low-level interests.

Without the pressure of contribution, upgrade, reputation and legend, he only wants to pursue some more advanced interests…

And what he wants to do is not only in the Elf Forest, but also in the entire “Elf Kingdom” and in the history of the human side, to leave his own name.

This will give him a great sense of accomplishment, especially when he sees his power change the plot of the game… just like the return of the frost elves.

In half a month, Cyber has completed the target of developing believers. What remains is to completely inspire the fighting spirit of the believers.

And if nothing unexpected happens, the task will be successfully completed by the end of today’s class.

The magic image played for a full twenty minutes.

After twenty minutes, the image slowly dissipated, and the poor showed an expression of wanting more.

In the church, it was extremely quiet. Every poor who came to listen to the teachings showed yearning and hope…

Looking at their fascinated looks, Cyber smiled slightly and took out the materials he had prepared.

“The miracle of Maple Moon Free Territory is also obtained by the people of Maple Moon Free Territory through arduous struggles.”

“The empire is declining, the nobles are corrupt, and the church is corrupt…”

“Only by uniting and choosing to fight can we break through the thorns in this dark era and take an unprecedented path to create a world without oppression, prosperity and happiness…”

Cyber said solemnly.

After hearing his words, the poor were thoughtful.

“Master Cyber… Then what do you think we should do?”

Someone couldn’t help asking.

“That’s what I’m going to talk about next.”

Cyber smiled.

As he spoke, he took out three new textbooks.

One was written in gold-plated letters: “Life, Rights and Struggle”. One

was called “Theory of the Church of Life and the Thought of Maple Moon Free Territory”.

And the third was called “The Relationship between the Feudal Nobility and the Eternal Church”.

They were all works that players tinkered with.

They were full of bad taste.

Cyber opened the textbook and began to tell the story in a rhythmic way that the uneducated poor could understand according to the strategy post provided on the official website.

As he told the story, the poor sometimes thought, sometimes dazed, sometimes enlightened, and sometimes excited…

I don’t know how long it took, accompanied by a slight sound of the system, the prompt sound of the task completion sounded.

At this moment, the poor people have gradually become agitated. The old man who was once a professional and was in the lead blushed and clenched his fists:

“So that’s how it is… So that’s how it is!”

Seeing the increasingly strong light of faith in everyone, Cyber was also very pleased.

However, just when everyone began to discuss passionately, suddenly, a scream came from outside the chapel.

Cyber frowned and looked at the door of the church, and the next moment, the door was suddenly kicked open roughly.

In the fear, hostility and panic of the poor people, a team of judgment knights wearing silver armor appeared in everyone’s sight. The

leader was a tall black-robed priest with strong strength, which brought Cyber a great sense of threat.

He saw his eyes coldly sweeping over everyone present, and finally stopped at Cyber, who had a solemn face, and the statue of the goddess beside him.

His expression suddenly became gloomy.

“Catch this heretic who deceives the world!”

The black-robed priest snorted and ordered.

Didn’t expect it? The first person to be arrested was a player…

Tonight, my parents are here. I’ll keep them company. I haven’t seen them for a long time.

Looking at the pitiful monthly ticket, I’m already lying flat_(L`」∠)_
