The little girl was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
Because after knowing Søren's identity, she was stunned. As a trainee priest, she had never seen a true god. Although many gods fell to the mortal world after the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis, only a few mortals could meet them. What made her most excited was that she had met this true god before, and it seemed that he was Sister Annalynne's friend.
Oh my god!
Sister Annalynne actually had a true god as a friend!
Why didn't she tell me?
The little girl spent the night indulging in her thoughts. She only managed to fall asleep at dawn, but she was quickly awakened by a noise outside the door.
Inside the temple.
Søren also didn't sleep all night. In fact, sleep was just a habit at his level.
"Brother."
Vivian sat next to Søren, sorting out what she had seen and heard along the way. As a very smart girl, she also knew that it would be difficult for her to have such an opportunity in the future.
The little girl raised her head and asked, "Why is Mordor prosperous, but other places are getting more and more desolate? Is it because of the war? "
This was the biggest question in the little girl's mind.
The desolation she saw along the way was completely different from what she had seen in the past! Everything was completely different from Mordor, and many places had almost become ruins.
Søren raised his hand and stroked Vivian's little head, and said slowly, "Because of order."
"In fact, the prosperity of Mordor was not created by my power alone. But as long as there is order, all the people living in Mordor will consciously create a better living environment. "
"Because of order, Mordor is orderly, and everyone has their own duties."
"Is there no war in Mordor?"
"No."
"Mordor has wars breaking out almost every month, and the frequency of attacks is probably more than most cities here. But the order of Mordor ensures that these wars are away from civilians, and the army keeps most of the wars out of Mordor Island. And civilians can work in peace. "
"And what did the turmoil bring?"
"Civilians abandoned their land because of the war, and the army couldn't operate effectively because of the lack of supplies."
"In the end, everything became a vicious cycle. Order was crumbling more and more, and the turmoil was becoming more and more serious. Civilians began to leave their homes, and the morale of the army also waned. "
The war in Mordor City was endless.
From attacking the natives to fighting the Principality of Rossard, there were battles almost every month. Although Søren lived in seclusion in the Outer Islands, he had barely escaped from the battles that should have broken out during the Avatar Crisis. The attacks of the demons, the sneak attacks of the devils, and the subsequent elemental turmoil. Until now, there were rampaging water elementals attacking the fleet near Mordor City. But so far, the city of Mordor had not been affected much, because most of the wars were blocked by the army outside the city. Order created a stable living environment for the commoners, and this living environment allowed the commoners to work in peace and create wealth and resources.
Vivian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
With her age, it would take some time for her to understand everything, but Søren wasn't in a hurry at all.
He hoped to convert Vivian into the camp of order. Even if she couldn't, he hoped that the little girl could remain neutral, because chaos was not a very good camp, and the clergy of the Lord of Fear had always been chaotic and evil.
The rise of Mordor City was not something that could be created by personal strength.
If Søren only relied on personal strength, Mordor City would probably still be the fortress of the local tyrant, and it would never have such a great influence on the south coast.
Søren created an order.
This order was fighting against the chaos of the Avatar Crisis. In order to gain power, to gain strength, to prove themselves, and to live a better life, countless people joined Mordor City for various reasons, and consciously maintained Søren's order, and then found their own place in it.
Søren could now manage Mordor City freely because of the corresponding operating system brought by the order.
In Mordor City, Søren had everything they needed.
Whether it was the wealth, power, status, and strength they needed when they were alive, or the divine kingdom they sought after after death, Søren could satisfy these people. And for their own future, in order not to fall into the abyss of hell in the future, even the evil people had to follow Søren's rules.
This was the key to why Mordor City stood tall in the Outer Islands!
To live.
They needed everything that Søren gave them.
After death.
They also needed everything that Søren gave them.
Because of this, even corruption in Mordor City was much less than in other places. Although Søren allowed the darkness under the rules, they would still be punished if they were found out. Most of the officials in Mordor City didn't dare to say that they were honest, but they knew clearly what they could take and what they couldn't take. Because if they gave up their position in the divine kingdom for hundreds of years in the future for a little benefit when they were alive, this was absolutely not a good deal. The life of a mortal was only a hundred years. Many officials in Mordor City were just ordinary people. They believed in serving Søren, and of course, they pursued more than a little enjoyment in the mortal world.
They hoped to get a higher status, a longer life, and more power after entering the divine kingdom!
Søren still had a lot to give to Vivian.
But some things still needed to be understood by the little girl herself, because in the future, she needed to be in charge of her own faith and serve her own church, which could not be replaced by any god.
Dawn was approaching.
When there was a glimmer of light in the sky, a girl in leather armor appeared outside the temple.
Annalynne.
After losing the ability of a priest, she could only perform the tasks of the mercenary union as a warrior. There was a wound on her shoulder. Because there was no way to use magic, she simply bandaged it.
"Sister Annalynne!"
Vivian ran over with some excitement, and Søren's figure also appeared in the temple.
He looked down at the girl in front of him, slowly came to her, and said in an indisputable tone: "Follow me. Take all the orphans you can take, and I will arrange a place for them to live and grow up healthily. "
A reason that could not be refused.
When Søren's voice fell, the last trace of the girl's stubbornness completely dissipated.
Because she knew very well that after losing the magic of a priest, it was impossible for her to raise so many orphans, so she could not refuse Søren's conditions at all!
