National God: Am I regarded as an NPC by the natives?

Chapter 87 The Weird Village
When the plague began to be controlled on the border of the Kingdom of Kweir.

Other places are not idle either, and many countries know about the God of Plague.

"The God of Plague, the Kingdom of Kweir, and the God of Holy Light?"

In the Canghai Empire, the emperor of the Canghai Empire was sitting on the throne, holding a report submitted by the special envoy of the Kingdom of Keweir.

"What do you think of this matter? What attitude should we take towards the Holy Light Religion?"

The emperor gently stroked his somewhat white beard, then looked at the many ministers and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think we should treat the Holy Light Religion the same way we treated the Light Religion before." Someone stepped forward and said.

"The Light Religion has already shown signs of integrating into the Holy Light Religion. Perhaps it won't be long before the Kingdom of Light will become the Kingdom of Holy Light."

"We just need to maintain our previous attitude and treat each other as the state religion."

The emperor said nothing and looked at the others.

"I agree with this idea. The gods are reborn and the gods are fighting. We need a strong backer."

"According to the currently known information, the Holy Light Church is the most powerful church among the gods, and the same must be true for the God of Holy Light."

"Although the other God of Plague seems to be able to compete with the God of Holy Light, plague obviously cannot be a belief."

Another person stood up and said.

"Okay, just do what you said. Holy Light is similar to light, and it is more suitable as our faith. It will not cause turmoil in the empire when we change our faith."

The emperor of the Canghai Empire asked: "But what about the plague? What kind of support do we need to provide?"

"I have some thoughts on this matter." Another minister stood up and said.

"The Holy Light Religion requires supplies. In this case, we will dispatch supplies to support them."

"But I think we can also try to contact the Holy Light Church when sending supplies."

"If the matter of Wushen Asylum is resolved as soon as possible, the Canghai Empire will become safer."

"I heard that in addition to the God of Plague, there is another terrifying evil god, known as the God of the Undead,"

"Your Majesty, you can imagine that if the outbreak of the plague this time was not in the Principality of Demoli, but in the Canghai Empire, would we be able to solve it?"

Every country in the Canglan world has its own beliefs, even the empire is no exception.

In a world with gods, without the protection of gods, it is impossible to build a country.

Therefore, when they knew about the Church of Holy Light, these countries had no intention of resisting the God of Holy Light.

"Okay, I already have an idea. I will send people to contact the Holy Light Church."

Emperor Canghai nodded. He had no objections to the proposals put forward by many ministers.

In other words, it has become normal in this world to obey the oracles of gods.

Not only the Canghai Empire, but other empires near the Canghai Empire also provided support one after another after learning about the God of Plague.

Even those empires did not believe in the God of Holy Light, nor did they believe in the God of Light.

With the material support from the major empires and kingdoms, the situation near the Kingdom of Keweil quickly stabilized.

At the same time, the Holy Light Church also issued new tasks to those players.

"The God of Plague, the public enemy of life, has arrived, and the Holy Light Church once again summons all the alien warriors to kill the plague protozoa."

If you use your own people to fight the God of Plague, the casualties may be serious.

But if it were these alien players, Di Qiu wouldn't care so much.

Although the plague protozoa has strong infectivity, these players will not really die.

Players will not even leave their bodies behind after they die.

Using players to consume the plague protozoa cultivated by the God of Plague is a very acceptable thing for Di Qiu.

And haven’t these players been clamoring that they have never participated in the God War?

This time the confrontation with the God of Plague is left to them.

In fact, if Di Qiu really wanted to deal with the God of Plague, it was not completely impossible.

Now that he is a fourth-level demigod, he will soon enter the realm of a fifth-level demigod. He can only wait until he breaks through the fifth level to take action himself.

It's just that going to war with the God of Plague has many benefits for the Holy Light Church.

After just a few days of fermentation, the news that the God of Holy Light issued an oracle asking believers to fight against the God of Plague has spread in various nearby countries.

Not only the Kingdom of Keweir, but also other nearby kingdoms have helped promote Di Qiu's faith.

In just seven days since Jessica led the believers to the border of the Kingdom of Kewell, with the help of various kingdoms, the number of Di Qiu's followers has doubled.

"It's time to enter the fifth level of demigods."

Di Qiu's eyes moved slightly as he watched another group of alien players heading to the Principality of Demoli.

The stored divine power begins to integrate into the body, tempering the divine body.

A full [-] points of divine power were integrated into his body, making Di Qiu feel as if he had endless power.

The surge in power even made him feel like he could easily crush his previous self.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

Although the gap between the fifth-level demigod and the fourth-level demigod is not small, it does not mean that they can easily crush each other.

What's more, Di Qiu had a lot of divine power before, but now that his realm has been broken through, he doesn't have much remaining divine power in his hands.

Unless the level gap between demigods is too large, the amount of divine power is still very important.

Within the Principality of Demoli.

Ye Yunlan led a team of more than 100 Holy Light Knights to rest.

These knights are all alien knights. During this period, the number of players increased dramatically, and Ye Yunlan's power naturally became stronger.

"Sister Lan, without a priest, it feels a little dangerous in the territory of the God of Plague."

Wenwen coughed slightly and looked a little weak.

They had just killed a batch of plague protozoa, but the cost was obvious.

Many strangers were infected with the plague and their physical functions declined.

"There is no way. The inheritance of the Holy Light Priest is the most difficult to obtain. Among the current aliens, no one has obtained the inheritance of the Holy Light Priest."

"A few people have obtained the inheritance of the Holy Light Warrior, and each of them has been invited to join the Holy Light Legion." Ye Yunlan said helplessly.

"The purpose of our coming here is very clear. We only need to kill the protozoa. If we die, we will die."

"It's pretty good to exchange one's life for merit."

As the development of the Holy Light Church got on track, a merit system for aliens was also developed.

Those conquered adventurer unions have now become the Foreign Merit Office, which is responsible for managing issues related to the foreign merits.

Merit can be exchanged for various things.Some unique inheritances, powerful combat skills, weapons, mounts, and armors outside of inheritance.

Of course, different things require different merit points.

For example, a unique inheritance is a hidden profession for players, and the merit points required are very high.

The main purposes for players to obtain meritorious deeds are mounts, combat skills, and some training resources.

"Well, if I had known better, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to break through. This God's War battlefield is completely a paradise for those players who have just broken through to the transcendent."

Wenwen said with some distress. "If we die now, we will lose a lot of experience and even be demoted."

"Those who have just reached the realm of transcendent beings don't have this trouble."

Ye Yunlan smiled and said, "Don't be so depressed. Kill more protozoa. As long as you kill enough protozoa, even if you die, the things you can exchange for merit points are worth more than these experience points."

"Besides, haven't we already bought purification potions before? Although it cannot completely eliminate the plague infection, it can allow us to fight longer."

Listening to Ye Yunlan's comfort, Wenwen pouted and started acting coquettishly towards her.

After some fighting, everyone set off again.

"According to the information we obtained before, there should be a small village not far ahead. Please be careful." Ye Yunlan picked up the map.

Drawn on the map are various areas of the Principality of Demoli.

With the plague raging, naturally no one can obtain complete information nearby.

Even players can only rely on the map before the fall of the Principality of Demoli to find enemies.

Flesh is the best material for cultivating plague protozoa, so the number of plague protozoa in villages is huge.

The team quickly entered the village that Ye Yunlan was talking about, but the situation in the village was a little different from what Ye Yunlan and others had imagined.

This village was not like the other villages we had encountered before, filled with skeletons and poisonous insects.

"Sister Lan, what's going on?"

Wenwen asked with curiosity on her face, pointing to the village.

In the village, some villagers were wandering around the village with pale faces. When they saw the people arriving, they just looked up and made no move.

Ye Yunlan shook his head: "I don't know very well. This village is different from the villages I have seen before."

"These villagers seemed to have been infected by the plague, but they did not die from the plague immediately."

"Forget it, let's ask about the situation. Maybe we can find out something."

Ye Yunlan came to a villager who looked about forty or fifty.

"Uncle, we are knights of the Holy Light Church. May I ask, what is the situation in your village?"

"A knight who teaches the church?"

The uncle who was questioned by Ye Yunlan was stunned for a moment, muttering something in his mouth, and it took him a while to react.

His eyes, which had no emotion at all, suddenly lit up with an expression of hope.

"You are the knights of the Light Cult, so you are here to save us?"

"The Cult of Light? Sorry, I may have disappointed you. We are knights of the Holy Light Cult, not the Knights of the Cult of Light."

Ye Yunlan shook his head when he heard this. The God of Holy Light needs faith.

Although the villagers looked pitiful, she still identified herself before helping them.

"The Holy Light Religion? Is it a new church that has appeared recently? But these are not important anymore."

"You are here to save us, right? Sir Knight?" The man's face was confused and his eyes were full of pleading, which made everyone tremble in their hearts.

Except for Ye Yunlan, many people sighed in their hearts: "Is this really a game world?"

"We are the knights sent by the Holy Light Church to kill the plague protozoa. If we encounter the villagers, we will help depending on the situation."

Ye Yunlan asked: "But what is your situation? We encountered many villages along the way, but there are no living village names in them."

"I'm not very sure about this. There are indeed many poisonous insects near our village."

"But these poisonous insects will not enter the village. They just trap us in the village as if they have some kind of consciousness."

"At the beginning, some people tried to leave the village and were bitten by poisonous insects and would die soon, so we didn't dare to leave at all and could only stay in the village."

"But for some unknown reason recently, people in the village have become extremely weak, and they have no appetite at all when eating."

"And after the people in the village changed, we found that those poisonous insects would no longer bite us, but would just follow us when we left the village."

"But in such a weak situation, we have no way to leave."

The man said and sat down on the ground.He was breathing heavily, as if what he just said made him particularly tired.

"Yeah, I understand."

Ye Yunlan's expression became solemn, and the situation the man said reminded her of some bad things.

The reason why the villagers here were not killed was entirely because they were kept in captivity.

Just like people raising livestock for food.

The villagers were also kept in captivity by the plague protozoa, or the God of Plague, hoping to continuously gain new life to cultivate the plague protozoa.

"No, maybe it's more than that. The God of Plague may have other purposes for keeping these people captive."

Ye Yunlan frowned. She could guess that Plague's purpose in keeping these people was more than that, but she couldn't guess what the other party's specific purpose was.

"Sir Knight, do you think our village can be saved?" The man's face was pale, and his eyes were full of hope when he looked at Ye Yunlan.

"I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if I can save you."

"Our next goal is to kill those plague protozoa. You are too weak to travel long distances now."

"We can only see if your situation can improve after killing those plague protozoa." Ye Yunlan said helplessly.

"Really? Thank you very much, Lord Knight." The man heard this and did not force it.

In other words, under the torture of the plague, his will to survive was not that strong.

"Let's go and continue walking around the village. Maybe we can get some important information in exchange for merit."

Looking at the middle-aged man sitting on the ground wondering what he was thinking, Ye Yunlan said to the others.

"Sister Lan, are you talking about a hidden mission?" Wenwen's eyes lit up and she thought of a possibility.

"Maybe, but in any case, the information here should be of great use." Ye Yunlan did not confirm Wenwen's question and answer.

"Hey, I heard that the first batch of players who came into contact with the White Winged People did so through hidden missions. If we can complete a hidden mission in the God War."

Speaking of this, Ye Yunlan seemed to be able to see drool dripping from the corner of Wenwen's mouth.

"Just take a look and you will know. Spread out the investigation and gather here in 10 minutes to kill the plague protozoa."

Ye Yunlan ordered.
