Spring returned to the earth, and everything was revived.
In the eastern part of the continent, in the inland area a little far from the coastline, there was a city called "Rem".
This city was now the Holy City of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, where more than 40% of the elite and strong people of the entire church gathered. They were so powerful that even the Kingdom of the Blue Moon could not do anything to them, and could only acquiesce to their independence.
Speaking of which, the reason why this city could have today's status was greatly related to Leon Igor, the "King of the Seaside" in Garth City, and the two churches of the Void Mask and the Goddess of Wealth.
More than 20 years ago, the Holy City of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest was still the largest commercial city on the east coast, Garth City. Later, a war broke out in Garth City. The Goddess of Harvest was defeated by the God of Quagmire, and when she was about to be devoured by the God of Quagmire, she exploded the incarnation in anger, and the whole Garth City was blown into ruins. Fortunately, the High Priest of the Church of the Void Mask, Prince Leon Igor, led the residents who were lucky enough to survive and worked hard to rebuild Garth City from the ruins, avoiding the occurrence of a greater tragedy.
Because of the resentment of the disaster brought by the Goddess of Harvest, the people of Garth City gradually gave up their belief in her, and devoted themselves to the God of Wealth and the Void Mask, who had contributed a lot in the process of reconstruction. Now, this city and its surrounding areas mainly believed in these two gods. Of course, there were some who believed in other gods, but very few believed in the Goddess of Harvest.
Of course, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest did not just watch all this happen, and they had tried. First, they sent a large number of people to preach, trying to restore the faith. After being defeated by the governor, Leon Igor, they used force and dispatched a large number of elite masters, intending to use violence to wipe out the God of Wealth and the Void Mask, and forcibly seize the faith.
As a result, they kicked an iron plate. Garth City seemed to be loose on the outside, but tight on the inside. It seemed that there were no masters in Garth City, and there was only Leon among the masters. In fact, a large number of masters of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth had already been mobilized through the portal. The masters of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest rushed in, and suddenly fell into a trap, and were completely wiped out. Even the legendary masters were killed, and even an important artifact of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest was lost in Garth City.
This incident dealt a great blow to the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. Although the Goddess of Harvest retaliated wantonly and plunged the Dhaka Business Alliance and the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the two main bases of the Goddess of Wealth's faith, into famine, in the end, the problem was not solved. Later, in order to retrieve this artifact, they had to compromise with the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. They promised that they would never preach to Gars City, never participate in any actions or plans that were harmful to Gars City, and once they learned any harmful news to Gars City, they would immediately inform Gars City.
However, this incident was beneficial to Rem City. Rem City was originally the second largest city in the Church of the Goddess of Harvest's belief system. Because of the loss of faith in Garth City, the leaders of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest were divided into two factions, "Take back the holy city" and "Rebuild the holy city". Without a doubt, the leaders of Rem City belonged to the latter.
The battle between the two factions was very intense. At first, the "Retake the Holy City" faction had the absolute advantage, while the "Reestablish the Holy City" faction was greatly suppressed. It was just like those religions on Earth. Once the holy city fell into the hands of others, they would always try to take it back until their long-cherished wish was fulfilled or they were completely defeated. Of course, some religions had made progress and abandoned the ignorant and backward traditional form of the church. Naturally, they didn't care about the holy city anymore.
The "Retake the Holy City" faction of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest had made several big moves. In the end, they only stopped when all the elites of the church were defeated. Thanks to this conflict, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest's "Reestablish the Holy City" gained the upper hand in the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. They established Rem City as their holy city, and after years of hard work, the city gradually became like a holy city.
Nowadays, people could see the huge holy emblem of the Goddess of Harvest on the gate tower even before they entered the city. If someone paid close attention, they could even see the holy emblem of the Goddess of Harvest on the armor of every guard at the gate. After entering the city, people could see the same holy emblem hanging on the gate of every house in the city. Even the clothes of most of the passers-by had the emblem.
In every relatively large open space in the city, there was a statue of the Goddess of Harvest. People worshiped and prayed in front of the statue all day long. In the vision of magic aura, people could see that every statue was shining brilliantly. Unexpectedly, all of them had divinity. Even the divine power of the Goddess of Harvest could be sensed from every holy emblem in the city.
An adventurer mage who had just entered the city was stunned and didn't know what to do. After a while, he came back to his senses and left without caring about the mission or anything else. He even took all his companions with him. Half by persuasion and half by force, he didn't leave any of them behind.
The guards at the gate didn't seem surprised at all. Similar things had happened many times in the past few days. Almost every experienced adventurer made the same choice. None of them dared to stay.
There must be something wrong when something was wrong! The current situation in Rem City was definitely not like that of an ordinary holy city!
The most famous holy city on the continent was currently the "playground" of the Church of the Void Mask. But even in that Holy City, everyone could only feel the omnipresent majestic power of His Majesty the Void Mask. It was absolutely impossible for there to be holy emblems and statues everywhere, not to mention that these holy emblems and statues had all been blessed.
Was this the attitude of a holy city? It was obviously the attitude of making a big move and making a big news!
A wise man would not stand under a collapsing wall. All the veteran adventurers knew the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. Even if there were great benefits, they would never get involved in such a big news.
It had only been more than 20 years since the war in Garth City, and many of those who had experienced it were still alive!
What if there was another god's incarnation exploding this time … Tsk tsk, that scene was too beautiful to imagine.
The tallest building in Rem City was now the temple of the Goddess of Harvest. The residence of the mayor, which was originally taller than it, had two floors removed to avoid being in the way. Of course, the mayor was extremely dissatisfied, but he had no other choice. In fact, he had already been under the spell of mind control, and the caster was a legendary priest. It was estimated that he would never be able to get rid of the spell in this life.
On the roof of the temple stood a huge stone holy emblem. On the flat ground above the emblem, there was a white-haired old man in a gorgeous holy robe, holding a colorful magic staff, and hanging on his chest was a strange light pendant.
These three treasures were all holy relics of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. One was a magic instrument used by the Goddess before she became a god, and the other was an artifact made by the Goddess herself after she became a god. Each of these treasures had earth-shattering power. At this moment, the three treasures were gathered together. Although they had not yet exerted their power, the pressure they emitted had already covered the whole Rem City.
With such preparation and such equipment, they should have more than 70% to 80% confidence in doing anything. But the old man did not look so confident. Instead, he seemed to be a little worried.
He stared at the sky in silence. After a long time, he sighed softly.
"I hope … I can succeed," he said in a low voice. "My lord really needs a follower god!"
