The only effect that the arrival of the Protoss's envoy had on the City of Shadows and the entire Empire was that we now had 5 more mouths to scrounge for food from. Along with that, we also had a hoodlum leader who roamed around the fortress all day long looking for people to fight or inciting others to fight.
The members of Jingle's party were relatively honest. Although there was a hot-blooded idiot, Eersson, who would occasionally provoke Jingle and would be hung up and tied up in various places, at the very least, he wouldn't bring harm to others. Other than when he was narcissistic, he would get beaten up by his own sister and cause traffic jams. Monina, on the other hand, was a good girl, other than being a little violent towards her brother. It could be seen that she was very supportive of Jingle's authority. Although I couldn't understand what kind of authority Jingle had, this Dark Goddess was indeed very obedient under Jingle's orders. For example, when she beat up Eersson, she would try to do it outdoors to prevent the furniture from being damaged …
As for Dragon God Lin, just like the impression that I had of her from the very beginning, she was an extremely timid and timid girl. It was said that this personality was related to her clumsiness and age. According to the Protoss's point of view, this Golden Twin-Headed Dragon had yet to reach adulthood. In human terms, she would be hovering around the age where she had yet to graduate from middle school. She was recruited into Jingle's party as a combat trainee. As the apprentice with the lowest seniority in the party, she naturally became an odd-job worker. Although seniors never bully juniors, this Dragon God girl's personality made others think that she was a punching bag. According to Monina's vexed introduction, because of this disappointing appearance of Lin, their party was once rumored to be a hellish battle group that "made newcomers run around doing hard labor, shed blood, sweat and endure humiliation in order to earn money to feed a bunch of useless seniors". Of course, this rumor didn't persist for too long because the image of Jingle as the mascot leader was simply too resounding in the Realm of Gods.
But then again, the Realm of Gods really did have many innocent fellows. Are they that easy to bully even though they haven't graduated from middle school? Look at the people on Earth, they already have a father in their first year of middle school …
As for Kenser, I felt that he was the most unique person in Jingle's party. Look at him, a bunch of mascots with a venomous tongue and a punching bag. In the middle, there was Odin. Who wouldn't feel that he was out of place?
While the rest of the team was busy looking for fun and following Dingdang around the City of Shadows, this white-bearded uncle, who always wore a greyish-white robe in the style of classical mythology, was the only one who was doing something serious. He had compiled a truly understandable report from us, along with Bryndis' personal report, and uploaded it to the Realm of Gods. Although he claimed that it was just a small matter, it immediately gave me a good impression of this uncle. It couldn't be helped, the contrast between him and the others who were just messing around was too strong.
As for Icetis, who was theoretically the most important person in the diplomatic party …
As the host and good friends, Sandora and I took on the responsibility of personally accompanying Icetis to tour the beautiful scenery of the City of Shadows. Originally, I thought that a fairyland like Avalon would be more suitable for Icetis's tastes. After all, she was a Protoss. Even though she chose the wrong profession, she was still a Goddess of Light. This kind of existence that seemed to radiate golden light should definitely live in a glorious temple and float above a holy lake. Every day, after eating her fill, she would go out and weave clouds and rainbows. But her original words were:
"What's there to see in that kind of place! It's everywhere in the Realm of Gods. The place I live in is just like that. If I want to see a fairyland here, I might as well go home and lie on the window to look at the flower beds in my neighborhood! Bring us around your base camp, military camps, factories, residential areas and so on. Do you have a shopping street in the human world? The last time I went shopping in the mortal world, it seemed to be a very interesting place! "
Above.
I felt that Miss Lin wasn't the only one who could predict the future. Our Archbishop, Liliana, also had to be included. This weird fake loli had already planned our itinerary before the God Envoy arrived: Eat Mala Tang, play Fight the Landlord, squat on the sofa to discuss world peace, and go to the old city to stroll around the street. Now, she had already fulfilled two of them.
However, in order to prevent any accidents, I didn't dare to let this bunch of Gods wander around before they understood the special environment of the Earth. Thus, the Mala Tang and the old city had to be delayed for a day. Now, I brought Icetis around the City of Shadows. After all, this place was gradually becoming more prosperous.
"This is the place where the heroes of the World of Azeroth gather." After touring the military area of the Fortress, I pulled the excited Goddess to the nearest residential area of Stormwind City. "This is the human area. It imitates the architecture of Stormwind City. Just by walking around the City of Shadows, you can see the scenery of the various worlds. The cathedral in front is where the Holy Knights and Priests stay."
Together with Sandora, I led Icetis around the human area of Azeroth. I tried my best to play the role of a guide.
The residential areas of the various World Emissaries in the City of Shadows were built by the builders after they flattened the original buildings (the Empire Demolition Office). The structure was completely in accordance with the local customs of the corresponding world, trying to restore the architectural characteristics of the other world as much as possible. Just like now, walking on the streets of the human area, you won't be able to see any trace of a high-tech city. All around you are thick and heavy buildings made of stone like Stormwind City. Even the road signs by the side of the street are made of wood. It feels a little like visiting a theme park. If no one reminded you, you would definitely think that you have transmigrated.
Of course, the above was just the first impression. If you were to observe a little more carefully, you would still be able to notice the differences between this place and the orthodox scenery in the other world. For example, there was a human mage holding a PDA and memorizing arcane formulas, a Holy Knight holding a mobile phone and shouting loudly on the phone, completely unaware that his metal can was interfering with the signal, a Stormwind City infantryman riding a motorcycle — his armor had broken the seat of the motorcycle, causing sponge to drop all the way as he ran. There was also a person carrying a bag at the corner of the street, with a sign beside him that said "Fortune-Telling, Selling, Marriage, Real Estate, Antiques, Calligraphy, Painting, Naming, Changing Words, Train Ticket, Four Treasures of the Study, Eight Trigrams Book of Changes, as well as a set of Chinese Chess, Go, Checkers, Military Chess, and Gomoku, blocking an unlucky priest who was passing by to sell pirated chess sets.
These are the unique lifestyles of the heroes from various worlds in the City of Shadows. The other residential areas are also similar … Err …
"Icetis, wait for me. Sandora will inform the Town Security and the detention room … Bastard, don't run! I see you! Stop right there! "
Before Icetis could react, the two leaders of the Empire turned into a ray of yellow light and charged towards a fleeing uncle in black. Her close friend beside her started to contact the relevant departments. "Town Security, I am your leader. Gather at the human area of Azeroth immediately. That's right, he came out again, and Ah Jun met him …"
As for the streets, there were only a few stunned passersby watching as the leader of the Empire left. Amidst the flying pirated disks and train tickets, they bowed to him in a daze.
Ten minutes later, I returned to the city.
"Ah Jun, did you catch him?" Sandora came over curiously.
My face turned pale. "Don't mention it. As expected of the person who fought against half of the city guards alone. He is an all-Agility-type warrior — isn't he a main tank? Why is he so good at escaping?"
"There is a type of warrior in this world that is Agility-resistant." Sandora nodded at me seriously.
Can't that old bastard do something else?! Although warriors are allowed to move freely when they are not on duty, does Sicarro not know anything other than selling pirated copies and reading palms?! I feel that the City of Shadows' Town Security has been specially set up for him!
"Err, can I interrupt now?" Bryndis was stunned for more than ten minutes. Then, he touched my arm, "What was that for?"
Sandora and I turned around at the same time. "The nemesis of the Town Security!"
"It seems interesting." Icetis nodded solemnly. "So there is such an interesting person here … Chen, bring me to the cathedral to take a look!"
I didn't know why this Goddess, whose way of thinking was different from normal people, suddenly wanted to go to the cathedral. However, I did attract a lot of attention in order to chase after Sicarro. It would be good to change the location.
Since no one dared to build another 'royal building' in the capital of the Empire, no race in the City of Shadows was allowed to build a palace in the residential areas. The cathedral in the human area of Azeroth was the grandest building here. It was built completely out of stone, reinforced by layers of magic and Holy Light. It inherited the heavy and grand style of Stormwind City and could accommodate thousands of clergymen to worship at the same time. The name of this cathedral was called Light's Hope Cathedral — — is it a familiar name? That's right, it was directly named after the Light's Hope Cathedral in the Plaguelands. During the war of salvation, that cathedral was one of the most intense bridgeheads of the Salvation Army. However, in the end, it still fell into the hands of the Undead and mutated Demons. When the Empire's fleet flew over the Eastern Plaguelands, this cathedral that represented the blood and will of the mortal race was destroyed by the flames of the Psionic Cannon, just like the other fortresses occupied by the Demons. As a memorial, after the victory of the war of salvation, the Rebellion Army rebuilt this cathedral in the scorched Eastern Plaguelands. They also decided that in the future, every frontline cathedral that represented the advancement of the Salvation Army would be called 'Light's Hope'.
An allusion worthy of being recorded in an epic, although I felt that it would cause all sorts of geographical confusion …
In front of the cathedral was a large stone plaza. In accordance with the human architectural habits of Stormwind City, there was a sculpture of a person related to the cathedral in the center of the plaza. The Holy Light job class members of the World of Azeroth. Their religion didn't have a specific God, so this sculpture wasn't God at all. Instead, it was a beautiful Goddess with her gigantic wings spread out and her arms spread out as if she was gently embracing the people of the world. This Goddess actually existed in the real world, so due to a certain religious taboo, the sculpture's facial features were eternally covered by some kind of Holy Light, making it impossible for anyone to see it directly. However, I had always suspected that this was because the human sculptors were unable to fully restore the "Goddess"'s true appearance, so they had no choice but to take a step back and settle for the next best thing …
"This is Alaya's sculpture. During the War of Salvation, that silly cat single-handedly created a barrier of Holy Light that covered almost one-fifth of the continent, blocking the mutated demons of the entire Eastern Plaguelands for an entire day, allowing the Salvation Army to safely retreat to the Land of the Specter. It was hailed as a great miracle by the blood elves."
Up until now, I didn't dare to tell those passionate warriors that Alaya actually got lost in the Quel 'Thalas Trail. The one who was supposed to cover their retreat should have been Shallow Shallow.
Unfortunately, Shallow Shallow also got lost.
"Wow! This place isn't bad! " Standing in front of the cathedral, I could feel the thick power of Holy Light emanating from the prayers of thousands of Holy Light job class members. Although it couldn't compare to the Divine Arts of Holy Light of the Gods, Icetis still raised her head in satisfaction. "I have many of such cathedrals. The Protoss of Light relies on them to make a living. You guys wait outside for a while, I'll be right back!!"
I was stunned. "Where are you going?"
Icetis had already run to the entrance of the cathedral. Without turning her head, she shouted, "I'm going to collect protection fees!! There's a fee for believing in the Holy Light! "
Sandora and I were instantly dumbfounded.
What made us even more dumbfounded was that the female pervert came out a few minutes later. She was carrying a large cloth bag in her hands. Her expression hadn't even returned to normal. "I didn't even say anything and those Holy Clerics took the initiative to pay …"
"What did you do?"
"I rushed to the podium, released my Holy Light and wings, then collected the money," Icetis replied honestly.
"They must have taken you as a member of the Sisterhood of Combat." I slapped my forehead. "That is a fanatical organization formed by all the female Holy Clerics who believe in the Holy Light in all the worlds ruled by the Empire. They believe directly in Alaya and their core members are the female Holy Knights and Priests who were personally rescued by Alaya during the War of Salvation. They will collect offerings from the various cathedrals once or twice on a fixed day to replenish their military supplies. Looking at the days, it should be about time today … Hurry up and return it! There are already people collecting protection fees in there! "
Icetis was stunned. Before she left, she even muttered, "Does this place collect protection fees in groups?"
"I say, Sandora, has she always been like this?"
"It's normal. Back then, she even formed the largest Galactic Mafia in the world I ruled. Have you forgotten?" Her Majesty the Queen shook her head and sighed. "She has no ill intentions and will not harm anyone. She only treats this as a game. You will never be able to guess the thoughts of the Protoss."
After leading Icetis around the Human District, we headed to the Undead District. It wasn't that we were heading in the same direction, but mainly because I really didn't want to bring harm to the living. Those boring skeletons shouldn't be enough to pique Icetis' interest, right?
The idea was good, but the reality was often too horrible to look at.
"I, Icetis, am the Lord of Darkness!"
"The Gospel of Darkness shall live forever!"
"Death is justice, nothingness is eternal, the ultimate truth is also hidden in the shadows!"
"Gather beneath my feet! Feel the boundless grace of darkness! Enjoy the comfort of the bone-piercing darkness! "
"The Goddess of Darkness will forever bless you. Thank you for your patronage, next!"
The Skeleton Lord who was called hurriedly came forward and knelt down in front of the dark altar that Icetis had taken out of nowhere. "Goddess of Darkness above, my soul flame seems to be weakening recently. My movement speed is getting slower and slower."
Icetis, who was shrouded in black mist, extended her foot and stepped on the Skeleton Lord's shoulder to bless him. She raised her hands high and said, "Lost child, you are just lacking calcium. Next!"
Sandora and I stood behind this female gangster, dumbfounded. The huge Undead District was filled with streaky pork and high calcium tablets. There were pits and valleys filled with skeletons, spirits, and necromancers. The line stretched all the way to the Spirit Tower in the distance. There were even two Liches hanging at the top of the Spirit Tower, holding a "Last of the line" sign in their hands, waiting to be called …
I had forgotten that this Goddess of Light who claimed to promote universal love and Holy Light actually had three generations of gangsters in her family.
All in all, Icetis's ability to cause a ruckus was far beyond my imagination. She recruited underlings, collected protection fees, and promoted the teachings of darkness. She did all of this in the capital of the Empire, right under the noses of two leaders of the Empire. Furthermore, Sandora had an expression that said, "She's like that, you'll get used to it." Originally, she said that we would be her guides to tour around the City of Shadows. But for the rest of the day, it was basically this female gangster running around the city excitedly while Sandora and I followed closely behind her like parents.
Finally, the first day was over. The sky was nearing evening. Fortunately, Icetis still knew when to eat. If she continued to walk around, Sandora would go berserk from hunger.
"Hey, Chen, I am very happy today, but I am getting a little bored now! What are we going to do tomorrow? Is there anything fun in the City of Shadows? Those Paladins in Stormwind City paid the protection fee too easily! Also, those skeletons in the Undead District knelt down immediately when they saw me. It's not challenging at all! "
Say it again? If you say it again, I will send you along with Sicarro to the bottom of Erli Bridge to buy some houses. I will let you experience what a challenging career is!
The soul of ridicule in my heart was almost burnt to ashes. Beside me, Sandora was grinding her teeth furiously. I had to quickly comfort her, "Be good, let's go home for dinner now. Bear with it, it wasn't easy for them to build these houses …"
"Ah, right, Chen, speaking of which, I noticed that the Spacetime Control Hub here seems to be preparing for something big. It built so many spacetime lines at the last minute. What are you going to do?"
"Oh, so you can directly see the changes in space?" I expressed a moment of envy and jealousy towards Icetis's ability. "Actually, it was Shallow Shallow's idea. Then, Sandora amplified it …"
At that moment, I told Icetis about the upcoming Gathering of Thousands of Worlds (…). This wasn't any secret. Furthermore, with the abilities of the Gods, they would probably be able to see it with their own eyes if they were to know about it.
"Wow, that sounds interesting." Icetis's eyes immediately lit up. "The Gathering of Thousands of Worlds? You mortal races are so much stronger than the Alliance of Geezers. You can even think of such an interesting idea! If that's the case, perhaps I can give you some ideas … Hey! Don't look at me like that! I am serious about helping you this time! "
