Game of the World Tree

Chapter 444 The Fallen Church

On the grey sky.

One after another cracks like thunder snakes are densely covered, and they are constantly twisted and changed, as if the entire sky will be broken in the next second.

There was no breeze in the air, giving people an inexplicable depression.

And the desperate cries and pleadings made people feel more irritable and depressed...

This is a small village, located on the side of the main road leading to the city of Segers.

On the wide road at the entrance of the village, a woman in her twenties, dressed as a village woman, was hugging the thigh of a man wearing a priest's robe, crying bitterly and begging:

"Master Priest, Master Priest, my child doesn't want to be the son of nature, really doesn't want to be the son of nature, please don't take him away! Please don't take him away! He's only four years old this year!"

The priest was expressionless.

And behind him, there is a line of fully armed soldiers.

Soldiers escorted a carriage full of young children.

The children were locked in the car and the cries were heard in the distance, but the soldiers and priests were unmoved.

There are many villagers around.

They looked at the carriages and women with sophistication and sympathy, and the priests and soldiers with anger and hostility.

However, dare not speak out.

They stood around in silence, watching a young child being stuffed into a carriage by the soldiers.

Crying.

The priest kicked the crying woman away with one foot, staring at the front with empty eyes, but his voice had no emotion:

"All the children who are favored by nature are the natural favors of the God of Creation."

"It is his honor to be a son of nature and contribute to the recovery of the true God."

Saying that, he waved to the other soldiers.

After receiving his order, the equally expressionless soldiers changed their formations.

They drove their carriages, surrounded the priests, turned and left...

Only the women were left kneeling on the ground, crying in despair.

When the priests and soldiers were gone, the villagers helped the crying woman with a hoarse voice, and sighs also sounded in the crowd.

"Hey, another one."

"In recent years, the church has become more and more excessive, so why not let people have a better life?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard by someone with a heart."

"Nina is also pitiful, who made her child natural..."

"I just hope her child can become a priest, not a sacrifice..."

"Who knows, so many children are forcibly taken away every year, but how many priests are there, and you look at those ruthless guys, do you want your children to be like that?"

"Hey, let's just pray that we don't have children with natural attributes."

The villagers sighed and shook their heads.

No one noticed that there was an inconspicuous carriage beside them, watching the whole process.

Inside the carriage, the gourd retracted his gaze and frowned slightly:

"What the hell is this Creation Church doing? Why do you see them forcibly recruiting children everywhere you go?"

The expressions of several other players were also not very good.

It has been three days since they left the town of grace.

In the past three days, almost every human settlement they passed by could see similar things.

Even if they knew that this was a game, but they had already substituted themselves into it, they couldn't help but disgust the clergy of these churches...

Of course, this is also because of the existence of tasks, so that players have naturally regarded these ordinary people as their own camp.

If their guesses are right, when things come to an end, these humans are likely to be converted into followers of the goddess.

Not to mention that they still have the blood of elves, belonging to half elves whose blood has been diluted to a certain extent, and the goddess' ability to purify the blood of half elves into elves has long been known in the forest of elves.

It can be said that these humans are potential allies in the future.

That's why, in the beginning, players would cover up their appearance and secretly rescue the children they saw.

Hmm... that's how the camp's goodwill came.

However, after doing it a few times, they aroused the vigilance of the Creation God Sect, so that the other party assigned soldiers to the clergy.

A few people were worried that if they intervened again, they would be likely to scare the snake, so they had to stop.

However, they also became more and more disgusted with this so-called Church of God of Creation.

And after listening to the words of a few people, the driver who drove the car explained while driving:

"Hey, several adults don't know, this is the church's way to expand the clergy."

"In the past, when the adults of the Protoss were there, the church was still very desirable, and many people regarded being a priest as the highest honor..."

"However, since the Protoss retreated, the church has become more and more presumptuous and degenerate... They have begun to force all children with natural attributes to join the church."

"Those children with potential will be trained by them to become priests who only know how to dedicate to the gods, while children without potential will be directly sacrificed to the gods as sacrifices..."

Having said that, the groom sighed:

"Now, apart from seclusion in the town of divine grace in the forest of elves, who doesn't worry that their children are of natural attributes..."

"The church is no longer the church it used to be."

"Then why don't you resist?"

asked the optimist.

"How to resist?"

The driver shook his head.

"The church controls the most powerful force. Almost all the professionals above the second rank come from the church. Who has the ability to resist?"

After listening to the driver's words, the players looked at each other and fell silent.

indeed.

Although the human beings in this half-plane have the blood of elves, most of them have mastered a little bit of extraordinary power, but at most they are apprentices.

Very few step into the black iron.

The players who saw the middle of the black iron, with the exception of Elder Ruai, were all clergymen and soldiers of the church.

"Is this the church created by the existence of the Goddess of Betrayal? In my opinion, this church is no different from a cult."

Chopin shook his head.

Others also showed expressions of approval.

They are not newbies either.

At this moment, if they don't know what these church personnel are doing, then they will be in vain under the guidance of the eldest sister.

Obviously, this church has long since strayed from the path of the normal church.

They have changed from preaching beliefs to forced brainwashing, from benevolent rulers to cruel exploiters, and even directly sacrifice suitable children to the gods!

Of course, coupled with the capture of the life potential of half-plane creatures, it can be said that this "creation god" has completely stood on the opposite side of the goddess...

The carriage continued to drive for a quarter of an hour, then slowly stopped.

Then, the driver's voice came from the front:

"My lords, the city of Segers is ahead, so I won't send you to the city."

He didn't know the real identities of the players, only that the players were entrusted by the elders to go to the city to do business.

After listening to the driver's words, the players looked out of the car window and saw a magnificent city with a vaguely recognizable elf style.

They got off the carriage one after another, and after the coachman said goodbye to several people, he drove back.

"Captain, what do you do next?"

Several players looked at the lunch box.

The lunch box reached out and took out a crystal-shaped ball from his arms.

At this moment, the sphere was shining with a dazzling light, as if it had been summoned in some way.

This is a task tool given to the players by Elder Rueg of God's Grace, which can sense the existence of the Heart of Life.

Flashing, it means that the players have approached the heart of life.
