After the players entered the city of the Dark Dwarves, Eve raised her guard and paid close attention to the movements of the players and the Dark Dwarves.
After all, this was the first time that the players had officially come into contact with other forces in the Elven Kingdom.
Although there were Half-Orcs before, Half-Orcs were regarded as enemies from the start. To the players, other than the fact that they could speak, they were no different from the Demonic Beasts that the players hunted.
However, the Dark Dwarves were different. Eve did not have any major conflicts of interest with them, nor did she have any grudges against them. More importantly, there were other True Gods behind them.
The True Gods of the Underworld!
Compared to the Gods of the Heavenly Realm, the Gods of the Underworld were much more mysterious and ancient. It was said that the earliest True Gods of the Underworld were actually a group of Ancient Gods.
They had always been low-key and did not interfere with the power struggle in the world of Segers. They did not even participate in the siege of the Yggdrasil thousands of years ago.
Although she had the inheritance of the Yggdrasil, Eve did not know much about the True Gods of the Underworld.
She only knew that the Grim Reaper Hella was the main True God of the Underworld in name, and the Lord of Darkness and Shadows, Horder, was another existence that was even more ancient than the Grim Reaper Hella.
These two were the main True Gods that the Dark Dwarves believed in.
However, according to the Spider Queen Lolth, these two True Gods had conflicts over the beliefs of the Dark Dwarves.
It was also because of this that Eve reminded the players not to get involved in the conflict of beliefs when she gave out the mission.
From her point of view, the two True Gods of the Dark Dwarves might have already lost their minds in the conflict of beliefs. If the players were to get involved, it would only be harmful to them.
However, when the real players entered Black Rock City, Eve discovered that the Grim Reaper Hella might have won in the conflict of beliefs of the Dark Dwarves. This was because the shrines of the Lord of Darkness and Shadows, Horder, had all been destroyed.
However, as the players moved further in Black Rock City, Eve was surprised to discover that there seemed to be a hidden force in Black Rock City that had been targeting and provoking the players.
These forces included Black Rock City's dwarven mercenaries, local ruffians, slave traders, and so on … They were all forces hidden in the dark.
In the beginning, Eve suspected that this force belonged to the Grim Reaper Hella and was using it to test the players. However, she quickly dismissed the idea because there was no need for the other party to do so.
From the players' point of view, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with clashing with these people. On the contrary, they were curious about the conflict. However, Eve had the overall perspective of the players and discovered some clues from the targeting of these forces.
They … seemed to be trying to provoke the relationship between the players and the Dark Dwarves!
Not only that, but when some players were caught by the slave traders, Eve also secretly observed them. She was surprised to find that these slave traders even had contact with the human Sauron's Caravan!
In other words, as the Dwarf tribe closest to the Elven Forest in the underground world, these slave traders also took on the responsibility of selling Elves. They traded with the Sauron Caravan and sold Elves to other underground forces who needed them. Some slave traders were even underground members of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.
And this discovery made Eve have some guesses.
Like the Half-Orcs, the Sauron's Caravan in the human world was also the main force in selling Elven slaves.
If she remembered correctly, The Black Dragon Merril once said that the reason why the Sauron's Caravan could run rampant in the mainland was because they were riding on the coattails of a certain existence in the underworld!
However, Eve didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she strengthened the monitoring of the players in Black Rock City.
And today, these people finally appeared …
They were actually believers of the God of Darkness and Shadows!
To be honest, this wasn't out of Eve's expectations. This result was similar to what she had guessed.
And as a True God, even if this force didn't say anything, Eve could roughly guess what they wanted to do.
A group of believers of a True God lurking in the sphere of influence of another True God with conflicting beliefs. What else could they do?
It was nothing more than causing trouble and fighting for faith.
However, after realizing that this True God was likely to be the backer of the Sauron's Caravan, Eve felt a headache coming on.
The Sauron's Caravan had been labeled as an enemy by Eve.
Perhaps the Sauron's Caravan attacked the Elves just for profit …
But they were also accomplices of the Half-Orcs.
And according to Nightingale, their hunting of Elves was no less lenient than that of the Half-Orcs. Even the human mercenaries who destroyed Nightingale's branch of the Shadow Tribe belonged to the Sauron's Caravan.
What else was there to say? Even if it was for the Elves' loyalty, the Sauron's Caravan was still an enemy.
But now, it was likely that the God of Darkness and Shadows behind the Sauron's Caravan had appeared …
To be honest, Eve was indeed in a dilemma.
When facing Oulleur, Eve gave herself the identity of a God of Death.
And judging from the cooperation between the Sauron's Caravan and the Half-Orcs, this True God might also have some dealings with Oulleur. If Oulleur wanted to win over allies and found this True God, then Eve would be in a dilemma …
She couldn't really go to Hella, the God of Death, right?
Forget about Oulleur, they were clearly hostile from the beginning. Although the God of Darkness and Shadows' forces also persecuted the Elves and indirectly led to the rapid decline of the Elves, Eve did not intend to fall out with the other party for the time being.
On one hand, he was still very weak, and on the other hand, he now had enough enemies.
But … the identity of the Grim Reaper's subordinate god had hooked Eve up instead.
If Oulleur told the "truth" to the God of Darkness and Shadows, then unless she threw away the identity of a God of Death, Eve would have to be hostile.
However, throwing away the identity of a God of Death would greatly increase the risk of exposing her true identity …
Headache.
Fortunately, at present, Oulleur wanted to monopolize the priesthoods of life and nature, and he was confident in his strength, so it was estimated that he would not look for allies for the time being.
And now, the believers of the God of Darkness and Shadows came to the door, which made Eve have some ideas …
If so …
Then why not just try to ally with Hella?
Although the identity of a God of Death was fake, why not become "real"?
Thinking of this, Eve made a decision.
She had already planned to let the players and the believers of the God of Darkness and Shadows pretend to be polite, and then secretly report directly to the Temple of Death and let Hella's subordinates find trouble with them!
At the same time, she could also do a favor to Hella and observe whether there could be follow-up cooperation.
The True God's thoughts were in a flash.
When she made these decisions, Salty Meow and the others also chose a candidate to talk to.
The candidate was Salty Meow.
It could not be helped, Fried Tomatoes and Demacia did not like each other, and neither was willing to let the other talk, so in the end, it fell on Salty Meow.
Fried Tomatoes could only reluctantly accept it, but he could not help but remind him:
"Salty Meow, be serious, don't choose the wrong option."
"Haha, country bumpkin, don't you know that the result is the same no matter who is the speaker?"
Demacia mocked at the stir-fried tomatoes.
The result is the same?
Salty Meow looked at Demacia strangely.
She did not say much, but excitedly clicked on the confirmation of the candidate in the system with the other two.
[Confirmed candidate "Salty Meow"]
The system message flashed again, and in an instant, the three of them found that they had temporarily lost control of their bodies.
[Candidate confirmed, starting interlude plot]
Another message flashed.
Then, Eve used the game system to control Salty Meow's body …
After establishing the kingdom of God and strengthening the connection between faith and the game system, Eve could now use the system to control the player's body.
Then, Salty Meow was surprised to find that his body took a step forward uncontrollably, and at the same time, spoke automatically.
"What deal?"
Salty Meow:???
Wait a minute?
So the plot is fully automatic?
"Assist us in overthrowing the rule of Death here."
Looking at "Salty Meow," Blessed Hearthstone said in a low voice.
"Do you know who's behind us?"
Eve asked again in Salty Meow's body.
"Some time ago, the magic power of the World of Segers suddenly increased, and the great patriarch of our church made a prediction that a group of sleeping existences was about to wake up."
Blessed Hearthstone said in a low voice.
A group of sleeping existences?
Eve raised her eyebrows, knowing that Hearthstone was treating her, who was behind the elves, as some evil god, or some ancient demigod who was pursuing godhood.
Of course, that was for the best.
"What can we get?"
"He" asked again in Salty Meow's body.
"Friendship with the Church of Darkness and Shadows, a covenant with the Dark Dwarves, 100,000 pounds as the common currency for employment, and … a permanent business agreement!"
"Deal, but you need to sign a contract."
"Salty Meow" replied straightforwardly.
"Leader, you're so straightforward! Here's the contract, and all our plans are written on it! "
Blessed Hearthstone nodded, and at the same time, he took out a contract of employment that he had already prepared.
This was a blood contract commonly used in the underground world. With fresh blood as a guide, the contractor would be inflicted with a blood curse.
If the contractor broke the contract, the blood in his body would boil and he would die!
It was said that this contract originated from the Purgatory Demons and was very useful …
Eve was very straightforward. After reading the specific requirements of the contract, "She" bit "Salty Meow's" finger and pressed it on the contract.
Salty Meow: "…"
Wait …
Why did they sign a contract?
As for Fried Tomatoes and Demacia, they cast looks of admiration at Salty Meow.
"By the way, the other two need to sign as well."
Blessed Hearthstone smiled, took out two more servings, and handed them to Fried Tomatoes and Demacia.
We want it too?
Both of them were stunned.
Then, they realized that their bodies were moving as well. They bit their fingers and pressed their blood on the contract.
Fried Tomatoes: "…"
Demacia: "…"
