When Li Huailin arrived at the main city, the situation was already a little chaotic. The atmosphere in the main city was a little tense because the number of NPCs on the streets had suddenly decreased. It seemed that Anthony had issued a curfew. There were more than 100,000 believers gathered there, and the Royal Guards were not enough to deal with them. Of course, they could not maintain order, so they could only ask those who were not involved to stay at home. Even so, it did not make the main city a little more peaceful. After all, the main city was a place where players gathered. Now that the NPCs had left, the players were still wandering around. Moreover, everyone seemed to have received news that something big was about to happen, and they were looking for a place to watch the show.
Of course, Tyr brought Li Huailin directly to the temple. On the way, Li Huailin met the Royal Guards who had received the news and came to welcome them. The leader of the Royal Guards happened to be Delnate.
"Where's Anthony?" Li Huailin asked as he walked.
"His Majesty is still at the scene," Delnate immediately replied. "Right now, there are at least 120,000 people gathered at the entrance of the temple, and I heard that more people are coming this way. All seven squads of the Royal Guards, with a total of 15,000 people, have been mobilized, but they still can't stabilize the situation."
"Can't stabilize the situation?" Li Huailin asked. "What's the problem?"
"The believers over there are still relatively stable. Although there are many people gathered, it is obvious that they have no intention of rebelling. However, the adventurers … are too chaotic. Now, at least five of the seven squads have to control the situation around the temple, so only two squads can keep an eye on the believers. If a large-scale rebellion occurs, it will be very dangerous. Moreover, His Majesty is still at the scene and refuses to leave. Of course, I have tried to persuade His Majesty, but His Majesty …" Delnate did not finish his sentence, but Li Huailin knew what he meant. Anthony was obviously stubbornly refusing to leave.
"What's the point? It makes my heart ache anyway. Forget it, I'll go talk to him." Li Huailin nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.
Very quickly, Li Huailin arrived at the entrance of the Harvest Goddess's Temple, which was located in the northern part of the city's center. Before he even got close, he saw a sea of heads. Moreover, every one of these heads was a player. Moreover, they were all blocked from entering the Harvest Goddess's Temple. Fortunately, the Harvest Goddess's Imperial Guards maintained order on the path leading to the Harvest Goddess's Temple.
"Look, it looks like Brother Awesome." The players on this side quickly recognized Li Huailin, who was walking in the middle of the road. As they were all blocked on both sides of the road, only Li Huailin and a group of NPC soldiers were walking in the middle of the road.
"Looks like Brother Awesome has triggered some sort of hidden quest again." The players on this side guessed that since the Harvest Goddess's Temple had been sealed, they couldn't see what was going on inside. They couldn't enter either. The group of players was very curious about what was going on inside. When they saw Li Huailin walking toward the Harvest Goddess's Temple with a group of NPCs, they naturally thought that Li Huailin had triggered a hidden quest. They were a little jealous and said, "Why is it that all good things happen to him?"
Li Huailin ignored the players and walked through the crowd under everyone's gaze. He also took a look at the progress of the quest. It could be said that everything was progressing smoothly. Although nobody had reported to him, Li Huailin knew that the number of people who had completed the Harvest Goddess's Sword Unsealing Quest was still increasing rapidly. However, the speed of the increase was not as fast as Li Huailin had expected. To be honest, it was almost noon. Li Huailin's current kill count was less than 400,000. It seemed that he was still a little far from his target of 10 million. If the speed of the kill count was not enough, Li Huailin would have to think of other ways to help. Of course, dealing with this matter was still the most important thing right now.
As soon as he walked through the outer wall of the Harvest Goddess's Temple, Li Huailin saw a different scene. The plaza in front of the Harvest Goddess's Temple was filled with people. Just as Delnate had said, there were at least a hundred thousand of them. Fortunately, this Harvest Goddess's Temple was the largest Harvest Goddess's Temple. There were regular sacrificial activities held here. During those times, all the Harvest Goddess's believers in the city would come to observe the ceremony. The number of people here was even more than now. That was why this place was large enough to accommodate so many people. Otherwise, the believers wouldn't even know where to stand.
The group of believers was in a stable state, just like the believers Li Huailin had seen in other places. Although there were so many people gathered here, the situation was not chaotic. It was much better than the situation of the adventurers outside. It really did not look like a group of people who had been ordered to kill.
"Your Majesty, this way." Li Huailin had only watched for a while when Delnate hurriedly led Li Huailin to the back. It was as if he was worried that the believers would do something extreme when they saw Li Huailin. But in fact, there was no need to be so worried, because the believers were basically praying to the temple in the middle. They didn't even look at the surrounding soldiers, so no one saw Li Huailin's arrival.
Under Delnate's guidance, Li Huailin soon met Anthony in a place that seemed to be a side hall of the Harvest Goddess's Temple. Anthony didn't seem to be in a good condition. He was a strong warrior, but he seemed a little tired. It was obviously not because of physical fatigue, but because he was under a lot of mental pressure.
"Huailin, the situation now …"
When Anthony saw Li Huailin, he immediately wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Li Huailin. "Don't worry, everything is under control now. Something big is going to happen here soon, so if you can't bear to see it, you'd better go back and rest. Leave it to me."
"So, we still have to do something to them …" Anthony said solemnly. Of course, he knew what Li Huailin was talking about. "Although they are all believers of the Goddess of Harvest, they are just ordinary people. Are we really going to …"
"I say, Anthony, you are just an emperor. What you have to do is to be responsible for the country, not everyone." Li Huailin suddenly said, "What they are doing now is their own choice. Did I force them to do anything? I also gave them a chance to change their faith, but they didn't choose. So, you can't save everyone. And I believe that you have also received the report that these believers have been brainwashed by that goddess. Don't you think that as an emperor, there are people in your country who think that you are not the most powerful person? Don't you think it's scary? You see, as the Emperor of the continent, in theory, my orders should be the highest imperial edict. But as you can see, I asked them to change their faith, but no one listened to me. Do you think that these commoners are your subjects? "" That's right. I'm the Emperor of the continent, so in theory, my orders should be the highest. As an emperor, you are worried about your people, but the person they care about is that goddess. Are you willing to be a fool? "
Li Huailin's theory was very convincing to Anthony. Yes, he was an emperor who advocated the separation of church and state. This was evident from the fact that he didn't invite the Pope to crown him when he ascended the throne. Therefore, although Li Huailin's words were fallacious, it really shocked Anthony. Besides, he trusted Li Huailin very much, and he didn't think that Li Huailin would harm him. Therefore, he really didn't know how to refute.
"I know you are kind, so leave this matter to me. You can go back first. Anyway, you can't do anything here. This is my problem, so I will deal with it," Li Huailin said.
"But …" Although Anthony seemed to be convinced by Li Huailin, he still didn't seem to feel good about it. He wanted to say something, but suddenly, a Royal Guard ran in from the door and said to Anthony nervously. "Your Majesty, something happened. Look outside!"
Anthony was now very nervous. Now that there were believers outside, he was afraid that there would be a riot. When he heard the soldier's report, the first thing that came to his mind was that there was a riot outside. But when he turned his head to look outside, he realized that it wasn't the case at all. The thing that the soldier reported was that the sky outside had changed.
Yes, it was almost noon, which meant that the sun should be at its brightest. Previously, when Li Huailin came, the sun was shining brightly. But now, it was different. The sky outside was gradually darkening, and it looked like a big storm was coming.
But this was unlikely because it was winter. It was also winter in the game. How could there be a thunderstorm in winter? How could the weather change so quickly? Feeling that something was wrong, the group of people in the side palace quickly walked out. Sure enough, they saw a large patch of dark clouds slowly gathering in the sky. Moreover, it seemed to have appeared in the sky above the main city. This was because when they looked into the distance, they could still see the sun. It was as if the dark clouds were covering the main city.
"What's going on?" Anthony immediately asked. "The weather was good just now. Why did these black clouds suddenly appear?"
"It feels like it's going to rain. But Your Majesty, it's a little strange. Why did the weather suddenly change in the middle of winter?" Prime Minister Mach immediately walked over and said.
"Boom!" While he was speaking, a purple flash suddenly appeared from the center of the black cloud above. It spread directly to the surrounding of the black cloud. The scene was very exaggerated. But this was even more strange. Why would there be thunder in winter? Such an exaggerated change in the weather seemed a little strange.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin thought for a while. This was definitely not a normal phenomenon, but he did not know what was going on. Just when he was about to ask the people next to him, the believers over there suddenly became chaotic.
"The gods are angry!"
"Is it going to be God's punishment?"
"What? Is the Goddess going to punish the Duke of Aquitaine? "
"Oh?" Hearing the shouts of the believers next to him, Li Huailin suddenly understood that this strange situation might really have something to do with the Goddess.
"God's punishment?" One of the ministers seemed to understand as well. He nodded slightly, as if he wanted to know what was going on.
"Morcelli, what's going on?" Anthony immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, I seem to have heard of a similar rumor. I heard that when the gods are angered, they will trigger God's punishment. But to be honest, I have never seen it. After all, it is only recorded in the books," Morcelli immediately said.
"Huailin!" Anthony immediately looked at Li Huailin worriedly. If there was going to be God's punishment, it would definitely be Li Huailin. He was the culprit. "It seems that the Goddess is really angry …"
"Oh, this is a little interesting." Li Huailin suddenly thought of what Saint Deluca had said before. She seemed to have said that if the Goddess really wanted to attack a mortal, there were some rules that allowed her to do so. It seemed that the current situation was like this. It seemed that he had really forced Saint Deluca to do it herself. This was a little interesting.
"Huailin!" Anthony looked at Li Huailin, who was still smiling, and shouted worriedly, "Aren't you worried? This is the wrath of a God. "
"What's there to worry about? Is he going to eat me?" Li Huailin said with a smile. "I have forced the Goddess to punish me herself. I have won another round. Don't worry, I have a big advantage."
"A big advantage?" Anthony was shocked. What do you mean by a big advantage? You are about to be punished by God, okay?
While they were still talking, the sky began to change again. The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker, almost blocking the sunlight. The entire city seemed to have fallen into darkness, and thunder rumbled continuously. It felt like the end of the world. Under this pressure, everyone could feel the wrath of God. Of course, the believers immediately knelt down, and the others who stood there felt the pressure.
The spectating gamers were also shocked by the current scene. They didn't know what kind of Storyline had been triggered. The scene was just too spectacular. They didn't know what was going on inside. They wanted to go in and take a look, but it was a pity that they couldn't.
While everyone was staring at the sky, a small hole appeared in the dark clouds. Of course, a ray of sunlight immediately shone through the hole. It was like a Holy Light shining through the hole. The Holy Light happened to shine at the highest point of the Harvest Goddess' temple, and the entire temple seemed to emit a holy light. Of course, when Li Huailin saw this, he knew that this was definitely the Goddess' doing.
As expected, not long after the Holy Light shone down, a figure slowly appeared in the sky and began to descend from the top of the Holy Light Pillar. Of course, the person who appeared was the Harvest Goddess, Saint Deluca. At this moment, Saint Deluca's face was filled with a holy aura. At first glance, everyone felt that she was a God, and a God that was sacred and inviolable. Coupled with the beautiful scene, people suddenly felt the urge to worship her.
"Hey, hey, do Gods like to appear in this way?" Li Huailin could not help but say. This was not the first time that Li Huailin had seen such an appearance. On the other side, Saint Lofrey did this every time. It was as if it had become a fixed pattern. Saint Deluca here was practically copying it. She was just expressing her anger towards a few lightning bolts.
Seeing Saint Deluca's appearance, at this time, all the believers were already kneeling on the ground. At the side, the soldiers were a little dazed as they looked at the sky. Yes, basically everyone here saw the Harvest Goddess personally appear, and they were all stunned.
"F * ck, what's that?"
"It can't be some God in the game, right? Is it a summon, Brother Awesome?"
"This Goddess is too beautiful, if only … hehehe …"
Of course, such a scene could not be seen under normal circumstances. While such a scene could not be seen under normal circumstances, they quickly made fun of this Goddess while recording. Although they could not enter, it seemed like this time there was a big show to watch. It would be best if it could be like the last time, where they could trigger a quest that everyone could do.
In the air, after descending for a period of time, Saint Deluca stopped right above her own temple, right at the place where all the believers below were worshipping. Looking at the large group of believers below, Saint Deluca's expression was not very good. This was because she had been tricked by this group of believers just now. She was still angry and did not have time to care about them.
Of course, the person she was looking for now was of course, of course, Li Huailin. To be honest, to be honest, she was a little angry that she had to personally deal with an ant. After all, she felt that it was a little embarrassing to have to personally deal with an ant. To be able to do this, this Li Huailin was considered to have done a good job.
"Sinner … Have a heart for Ruolin!" Saint Deluca scanned the area, then turned her gaze to where Li Huailin was standing. Moreover, she directly looked at Li Huailin from such a distance. It seemed like she already knew that Li Huailin was here.
"As expected, she is going to deal with the Duke of Aquitaine!" Hearing Saint Deluca shouting Li Huailin's name, everyone here became nervous. Even the believers were worried about Li Huailin, let alone Anthony and the others.
"Come out! Receive God's wrath! " Saint Deluca said loudly, then pointed to the middle of the square in front of her, as if she was ready to let Li Huailin walk out to receive punishment.
"Huailin, why don't you now …" Anthony seemed to have made up his mind, as if he wanted Li Huailin to leave first. However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Huailin.
"Hehe, I'm listening to you." Li Huailin smiled again and said to Saint Deluca in the sky, "Wait, I'm coming."
