As a supernatural world, the gods were not imaginary, but real existences. Although the world had many restrictions on them, their influence was very great.
Suhlen's North Town could not ignore the church. Even in the modern society where the gods did not appear in Suhlen's previous life, the church could be widely spread, let alone in this supernatural world. In fact, the people at the bottom also needed a spiritual support.
Many churches promoted that devout believers could enter the Kingdom of God after death, and then live a happy life without disease, pain, poverty, or sadness. This was also true. So many people would believe in the gods.
In this world, there were no people who did not believe in the gods. After death, their souls would be used as bricks to build a wall, but those who did not believe in the gods would fall into the abyss after death. Without the protection of the gods, many souls would be stolen by creatures living in the lower planes. The result would not be better than building a wall.
In comparison, becoming a petitioner after death was a very good choice. To become a petitioner, one must be a devout believer of the gods. Only then could the soul become a petitioner in the Kingdom of the gods after death. The petitioners would continue to live in the Kingdom of God. Under normal circumstances, they would exist like the Kingdom of God. As long as the Kingdom of God existed, they would always live. If the Kingdom of God was destroyed, these petitioners would disappear completely.
In this world, the gods were very troublesome. They had great power and almost eternal life. He did not have the strength to challenge the authority of the gods now.
While the construction of North Town City was in full swing, there was a vast plain in the middle of the continent. It was also a place where the power of the gods was very complicated. Almost all the gods had built temples here. Of course, the evil gods were very secretive about it.
For example, the Goddess of Wealth, the Lord of Dawn, the Goddess of Gaia, the God of War, and many other churches had temples. The God of Rogues, the Lord of Shadows, and even some demons from the abyss, as well as evil gods hiding in unknown corners, etc. At this time, many churches had sent messengers to North Town.
In addition to participating in the construction, Suhlen now took time to train the Cryopterus. After more than half a year of growth, these Cryopterus needed formal training. Because Suhlen was the master of all the Cryopterus, training with his help was twice the result with half the effort.
Just as Su Lun was preparing for training, an unexpected and yet expected visitor came here.
A new caravan came to the city. It was a very special caravan. All the carriages in the caravan had the emblem of the God of Wisdom. At the same time, this caravan had a team of twelve Temple Knights.
The Temple Knights were the private armed forces of the Church, and one had to be at least at the level of a Knight to join. Above them were the Knights of Divine Grace, the Knights of God, and so on.
When Suhlen heard that the caravan with the emblem of the God of Wisdom had come to the city, he immediately put down his work and rushed out of the city with his men.
The God of Wisdom was an ancient and powerful god. It could be said that he was an ancient god that had been living since the age of the new gods. As one of the most powerful churches on the continent, the God of Wisdom, who had great divine power, was not someone that Suhlen could offend now.
The emblem of the God of Wisdom was a kind old man. His churches were all over the continent, and he belonged to the neutral camp. When Suhlen arrived at the city gate, many people had already gathered. The guards of North Town City were maintaining order. Because a pass was required to enter North Town City, the caravan was arranged to rest in the camp on the right side of the city gate.
There were many humans who believed in the God of Wisdom, including scholars, nobles, and even wizards.
"My Lord!"
When the guard saw Suhlen arrive, he immediately stepped forward and bowed. Suhlen nodded at him and let him continue with his work. Suhlen was very satisfied with the guard. He did not let them go just because they were from a church.
When they arrived at the camp, a tall woman with blonde curly hair wearing a silver-white robe without any embellishments came up. The God of Wisdom did not like luxury, so his priests were usually very simple. This was the complete opposite of the priests of the Goddess of Wealth.
The clothes of the priests of the Goddess of Wealth were absolutely luxurious. Embroidery of gold thread on the clothes was just a basic operation. Su Lun once saw a priest of the Goddess of Wealth wearing eight valuable gemstone rings on his hand, and he also had a lot of gold jewelry ornaments on his body. The whole person looked bejeweled, revealing the aura of a god.
The priest of the God of Wisdom came in front of Suhlen and smiled at Suhlen. She then bowed and said, "My Lord, I bring the goodwill of the God of Wisdom!"
Suhlen nodded, but he did not let his guard down. He looked at the messenger in front of him and nodded slightly. Then he said, "Welcome to the Northern Wasteland. May I know why you are here this time?"
The priest smiled. She was not dissatisfied with Suhlen's attitude. "The Light of Wisdom shrouds the entire world."
"I am here to spread wisdom."
Suhlen nodded. As expected, she was here to spread the religion. Since he was already mentally prepared, Suhlen did not dwell on it anymore.
The tall woman looked around and sized up the city in front of her. She smiled and said, "My Lord, you are really amazing. It only took you a year to build such a huge city in the Northern Wasteland. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
Speaking of this, she smiled and said, "Such a magnificent and prosperous city can even be ranked as the most prosperous place in the continent."
"You flatter me, Priestess. This city was not built by me alone," Suhlen said politely. "You are a guest from afar. Please follow me into the city, Priestess."
"My pleasure!" The priest smiled and nodded. Then she rode on the horse that was brought over by a temple knight.
Suhlen waved his hand and a servant came over with a pegasus. Suhlen jumped on the horse without hesitation.
"This is … a pegasus?"
Seeing Su Lun's mount, a look of surprise flashed across the priest's eyes, and his gaze on Su Lun became much more solemn. As a priest of the gods, she naturally knew the value of a pegasus. She also knew how difficult it was to obtain a pegasus as a mount. Even the leader of the Temple Knights did not have this qualification. However, this young noble lord in front of her actually had a pegasus as a mount. She immediately put away her disdainful thoughts.
No matter why this pegasus became his mount, this lord's strength was completely worthy of her respect.
"Please!"
Su Lun made a gesture of invitation. Of course, he noticed the change in the expression of the senior priest of the God of Wisdom. This was also the reason why he deliberately brought Pegasus here to show his strength.
As a high-tiered Cleric of the Wisdom Church, her strength had also reached Tier 4. Her status in many countries was quite high, so she naturally received a lot of respect. As long as it wasn't an enemy church, nobody would dare to offend a high-tiered Cleric and the God behind her.
The priest's smile became more sincere. She lightly knocked on the horse's belly and followed Suhlen into the city. At the same time, she observed the surrounding environment.
Behind him, there were a few low-level priests and twelve Temple Knights in fine armor. Almost all churches had considerable wealth. On one hand, it was the accumulation of wealth over a long period of time. On the other hand, it was the worship of the believers. Therefore, most of the Temple Knights had first-rate equipment. Some rich churches would even equip the temple knights with magic equipment.
Suhlen only took a glance and could tell that these equipment were all rare grade equipment that had been enchanted.
After entering the northern city, the speed of the group was not fast. The priest of the Church of Wisdom had been observing everything around her.
None of the priests of the Church of Wisdom were idiots. On the contrary, all of them were extremely smart people. After all, as a church with wisdom in its name, this was their trademark. Just like the Goddess of Wealth's wealth, the God of War's strength, and so on.
The Church of Wisdom had many clergies. The most important clergy was [Wisdom]. Basically, all intelligent life needed [Wisdom]. This also made the Church of Wisdom a powerful god. In addition to [Wisdom], he also controlled [Prophecy], [Books], [History], [Knowledge], [Civilization], [Prosperity], and more than a dozen other clergies. This god also dabbled in [Magic] and other fields.
This old god was not powerful when he was first born, but as time went by, the power of the Church of Wisdom became stronger and stronger. At first, because there was not much wisdom in the barbaric era, people believed in strength more. But later, wisdom began to gain the upper hand. Now, it completely suppressed strength. The representative of the God of War was still a mid-level Divine Power. This was the best proof.
When Suhlen first heard of this knowledge, he was also quite surprised!
Because he had never thought that relying only on wisdom could bring about such a big change. It allowed a god with little knowledge to rush into the realm of great Divine Power step by step. If it were not for his low starting point, it was very likely that he would have become the first god to enter the realm of great Divine Power in hundreds of years.
Neat rows of brick and tile houses could be seen.
Straight drainage ditches.
The layout of the streets was simple and clear, with shops, taverns, and blacksmiths. There were also purpose-built public toilets. This place was not as dirty and messy as other towns. There was not even any garbage on the road.
Everything here was clean and tidy. Because of this, other people even believed that Suhlen had mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder!
"Your Excellency really surprises me!"
The priest of the Church of Wisdom looked at Suhlen in surprise. This lord gave her a completely different feeling from the others in this world.
