In the big tent of the court, the atmosphere was a little strange for a while.
All the Half-Orcs looked at the Sauron Chamber of Commerce's emissary, the elder human mage, with strange, puzzled, angry, or doubtful eyes.
Whispers gradually sounded, but because the Half-Orcs had always been loud, even if they whispered, it could be heard clearly in the tent.
"It's the punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows? Isn't the God of Darkness and Shadows our ally? "
"Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?"
"Hey! What misunderstanding? I know that anyone who is related to the Evil God can't be easily trusted! "
"Hmph, this must be related to the Sauron Chamber of Commerce. You know … Our tribe was cheated a lot when we traded with them some time ago!"
"They originally made a fortune through smuggling! I heard that they secretly sold our race's people! "
"Humans … None of them are good!"
The discussion of the Half-Orcs became more and more presumptuous, and listening to their ridicule, the face of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce's old mage became more and more ugly.
His eyes were wide open, and his white beard was blown up by his exhaled breath.
This was because he was angry.
Although he was a mage, he could become an emissary to communicate with the Half-Orcs. He himself was a follower of the God of Darkness and Shadows.
At this moment, when he heard the criticism of the Half-Orcs, whether it was towards the Chamber of Commerce or the True God, he was angry.
"Impossible! The True God would never betray an ally! It's even more impossible to punish an ally! "
The old mage said with a black face.
The cooperation with the Half-Orcs was related to the True God's plan, and it was related to the expansion of the Dark Church and the Sauron Chamber of Commerce in the underground world. Naturally, failure was not allowed.
Therefore, even if he was very angry with the sarcasm in the Half-Orcs' words, he still patiently retorted.
"But … I saw it with my own eyes! I saw the sky change color on the spot, and the space was torn apart. The purple-black lightning and the corrosive smell left behind by the lightning directly turned many of our people into terrible dark monsters! That was definitely the punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows in the legend! "
Seeing that the emissary of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce had become the target of public criticism, the half-kneeling Half-Orcs became bold and quickly described the scene he saw.
The divine punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows was rather iconic.
Even ordinary half-beastmen had heard of it.
This was because it was different from the Divine Punishment of other True Gods. His Divine Punishment didn't just descend in the form of thunder and lightning. It was also accompanied by the shadow power that originated from the Land of Darkness, which could pollute the area punished by the Divine Punishment.
It could be said that apart from him, only the Evil Gods possessed such a polluting power.
Because of this, some extreme true gods even stubbornly believed that the God of Darkness and Shadows had fallen and was no longer a righteous god, but an evil one.
Because of this, the Segers World had caused a lot of commotion and almost caused a war between the Gods.
It was for this reason that the name of the God of Darkness and Shadows was still remembered by many even though he was only an intermediate god with weak influence in the world of Segers.
After listening to the description of the Beastman, the mage of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce opened his mouth wide, but he didn't know how to refute …
All living creatures in the affected area would be turned into shadows.
He also recognized it from the other party's description. This was the symbol of his True God's divine punishment!
The Half-Beastmen in the surroundings started to discuss, and the discussion gradually became louder.
"Hmph! Pollution, dark creatures, and you still say it's not the God of Darkness and Shadows? "
"Why would His Holiness do this? Aren't we allies?! "
"Hmph … What allies? He's just using us to deal with the Goddess of Life in the Elven Forest. Rumour has it that the Goddess of Life is an ally of the God of Death in the Underworld!"
"What Goddess of Life? She's just a false god, and a subordinate god of the God of Death, not an ally! "
"Hmph … It's all the same. She's our enemy anyway! She stole the power that should have belonged to our Father God! "
The Half-Beastmen were furious.
The old mage of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce was red in the face.
Those strange comments, as well as the dissatisfaction with the Sauron Chamber of Commerce and the disrespect to the God of Darkness and Shadows, made him very angry.
These damned, stupid Half-Beastmen who had no sense of the big picture!
No wonder they couldn't unify the Desert of Death even after surviving for so many years. In the end, they still needed a True God to act!
Why didn't they think about it with their cute little brain? How could a True God act against an ally?
There must be some misunderstanding!
The old mage thought to himself angrily.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained:
"No, a True God wouldn't do this for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding! We don't want to fall into the trap of those cunning Elves! "
However, his words still couldn't convince the Half-Beastmen.
"Hmph! God's Punishment is the will of a True God. How do you explain God's Punishment? "
"Could a True God be fooled by the Elves?!"
The Half-Beastmen didn't agree with the old mage's explanation, and they became even angrier.
However, although they were angry, everyone had no objection to the "cunning Elves" that the old mage had mentioned.
In the past, the word 'cunning' could never be associated with the innocent, pure, and kind elves …
It could only be said that with the activities of the self-proclaimed Chosen Ones, players, and strange Elves who walked and talked, some things were subtly changing.
Now, there were fewer and fewer Elven transactions in the black market. There was even a situation where the buyer would repeatedly confirm with the seller before making a transaction.
"Your Elves … aren't those mutated Elves?"
There was no other reason than they were afraid of being cheated.
They were also afraid of being cheated.
The surrounding Half-Beastmen weren't satisfied with the old mage's explanation.
However, the expressions of the Oracle King and the new Chief High Priest gradually became strange.
They looked at each other, and the Oracle King nodded to the Chief High Priest.
The Chief High Priest coughed softly, and the entire tent suddenly quieted down …
The Chief High Priest was quite satisfied with this.
He paused and looked at the old mage.
"Mister Messenger, I want to verify something with the Dark Church …"
As he said this, his expression became slightly strange.
"Have any of your tribes … lost any statues recently?"
Hearing this, the old mage was stunned at first, then he understood something and was slightly enlightened.
Then, his expression gradually turned ugly, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said:
"These damn … cunning Elves! Evil blasphemers! "
…
"Hahahaha …"
Bursts of laughter came from the Death Desert, full of cheerful atmosphere.
A team full of spoils of war formed a long formation and advanced in the direction of the Gloom Mountain Range.
The troops were all elves, and there were more than two thousand of them. They were wearing all kinds of equipment, riding all kinds of magic beasts, and waving all kinds of flags. They were like an army that had returned in triumph.
They were the high-level players who participated in the Death Desert mission.
This time, the four major guilds took the lead, and more than ten second-rate guilds joined to form this Elven Joint Vanguard Army.
They worked together and attacked three medium-sized tribes in the Death Desert, destroyed one, and plundered the other two before the reinforcements arrived.
Now, they had a bountiful harvest, and they were satisfied with the spoils of war that they could no longer carry and began their return journey.
Everyone's face was still full of the aftertaste of victory. The corners of their mouths were raised, and their eyes were bright, brimming with unconcealable confidence and joy.
Among them, Demacia, who was surrounded by a group of players, was riding a giant mountain bear and carrying the Heart of Nature's Iris flag.
He was beaming with joy, and his expression was full of smugness.
The surrounding players surrounded him and kept flattering him.
"As expected of you! Demacia! You can even come up with new tricks with the Divine Punishment! "
"Hahahahaha! I still remember the expressions of those half-orcs when they saw the Divine Punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows. It was as if they had seen a ghost! Hahahahaha! "
"Hahahaha! This is a righteous backstab from an 'ally'! "
"I'm dying of laughter. Looking at their expressions, I thought they had been struck dumb …"
"The most outrageous one is still Big Boss Demacia! You clearly surrounded the fort, but you let one go, and he even saw the Divine Punishment. Are you trying to put the blame on the God of Darkness and Shadows?! "
"And he even shouted that it wasn't the Divine Punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows? That exaggerated expression … I'm about to spit out my rice! "
"Big Boss is awesome!"
The players were beaming with joy.
At the center of the conversation, Demacia, who had traded half-orc slaves from the Dwarves of the Underworld for the statue of the God of Darkness and Shadows, was incomparably proud.
He said proudly, "It's basic.
It's just basic. Don't cry, don't cry. "
"Big Boss is awesome!"
"Facts have proven that there are only things you can't think of, but nothing you can't do. The Deity's Punishment Style has been crippled? Hahahaha … "
"Hehehe, let them bite each other!"
The other players kept flattering him.
However, after hearing what the players said, Demacia shook his head.
"It's not certain if we let them bite each other. The half-orcs have low IQ, but they're not stupid. There are so many of them, and there's bound to be someone who can see through our tricks. It's not like we haven't done it before."
"But … hehehe, it's enough to disgust them and bury a nail in their foot."
He chuckled.
It was fine when this energetic lad didn't laugh, but when he did, there was always an indescribable wretchedness.
However, the surrounding players flattered him even more.
"As expected of Big Boss Demacia!"
"Big Boss Demacia is awesome!"
However, after flattering him, they excitedly surrounded him again, looking expectant.
"That … Big Boss Demacia, the statue … Can you give us some of it?"
"Yes, yes! Sell it to us! We'll pay a high price! "
However, after hearing what the players said, Demacia shook his head.
"No, no, it's not easy for me to trade for it. If you want to get it, you can get it yourself. I've written the method on the forum."
The God of Darkness and Shadows was not Oulleur.
He was a true mid-level True God of Divine Power.
As it turned out, his Divine Punishment was much more powerful.
The effect of the Divine Punishment was like washing the ground. It destroyed the wall that the medium-sized tribe had painstakingly erected. At the same time, it also turned all the half-orcs and unlucky players within the range into shadow monsters …
Not to mention the Half-beastmen, the players were all dumbfounded by this display of power. Even Demacia was shocked.
He naturally had to keep such a powerful secret weapon for himself.
The Nature's Heart Guild was not enough!
"Big Boss, don't be like this!"
"There's no other way! Only your Chamber of Commerce has credibility! When we went to the dwarves, they all thought we were crazy … "
"Big Boss, help me!"
The players still did not give up.
"Hehehe … Beg me! If you call me Father, I'll give you the statue! "
Demacia was even more proud. His expression gradually changed to a despicable one.
There was no doubt that he was a little arrogant again.
The players were speechless.
The others around him were silent for a few seconds …
Then came a voice in unison.
"Big Boss … We beg you …"
"Father! Living Father! "
Demacia was speechless.
In the face of enough benefits, face and so on were all used paper in the game …
…
The movements of the few major guilds were very big.
This time, they not only used the battlefield channel of "Elven Kingdom" but also started a live broadcast on the Internet.
And Eve, who had been paying attention to the players' movements, naturally knew their various operations.
She sat on her throne, deep in thought.
"The Divine Punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows?"
"Demacia, this guy, really can come up with new tricks every time …"
She chuckled twice and shook her head.
Although she did not think that this matter would really affect the cooperation between the two True Gods, sometimes, differences started from small matters.
And for a True God, desecrating the statue was not a small matter.
The Divine Punishment of other True Gods striking their own believers for no reason was also not a small matter.
However, the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holdell, was a True God with mid-level divine power.
Weak, weak, mid-level …
The gap between him and Oulleur could not be clearly explained in a few words.
Eve did not think that even if he knew that there was a problem with his Divine Punishment, he would compromise like Oulleur and change the mechanism of the Divine Punishment.
After all, the one struck was not his own believer.
And the True God would probably be angry that his statue was desecrated. It was necessary to send down a Divine Punishment.
But … the players had obviously discovered a new continent. In the future, Holdell's statue would definitely be in high demand.
He would probably continue to be angry for a while …
In this regard, Eve was naturally happy to see it happen.
Anyway, they were already enemies. Even if they were more hostile, she did not mind.
Presumably, in the future, the Divine Punishment of the God of Darkness and Shadows would also visit the Desert of Death on a daily basis …
In this case, it was not a problem for the Divine Punishment to strike other believers. The problem was how to operate the subsequent Divine Punishment.
And this was very likely to affect the cooperation between the True Gods.
It all depended on what Holdell would do.
In a sense, this was an open conspiracy …
Just as Eve had guessed, at this very moment, the two True Gods had indeed fallen into some kind of awkwardness …
In a different space in the void.
Several illusory figures, either sacred or evil and depraved, were constantly gathering.
The leading figure was shrouded in shadows and had a vast aura. It was the projection of the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holdell.
And opposite him, there was another sacred aura surrounded by silver brilliance and ice and snow.
It was the projection of Oulleur, the God of Winter and Hunting.
The two True Gods looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.
"Your Holiness Holdell, your Divine Punishment … Do you need to give me an explanation?"
Oulleur's low voice slowly sounded.
