Although Jem was clearly arranged by the system, the players didn't really do anything to him in the end. They all saw the sacrifice of the barren mountain giant, and they knew that the entire army of Chocobo was wiped out for no crime of war. Even if they do it again, it probably won't change anything. After all, no one dares to stop the giant in that situation. There will be no changes other than minced meat dregs.
It's just that when the players returned to the small village in the valley, they found that there were many more villagers in the village, and the formation of hundreds of people waiting for the players outside the village was so scary that some players thought they were planning to The evil plan to rummage through boxes and cabinets was leaked, and the villagers called for someone to come and blow them up...
Fortunately, the few hunters who returned to the village early came out and explained.
The old village chief and the others were afraid that the players would lose the battle, and the anger of the barren mountain bandits would come back to the village, so they simply saved face and borrowed the carriages left by the players in the village to move a lot of reinforcements from the surrounding villages, and they were ready. Prepare for the worst.
But it didn't take long for the hunter to bring back the good news that the players had won a complete victory, so the original decisive battle turned into a large-scale carnival banquet involving several nearby villages.
The players learned various sand sculpture dances from the messy tasks. They were very popular with the villagers at the banquet, and all kinds of strange dances made them enjoy it so much that they unanimously decided to continue this tradition and become the god of games. Part of the church celebration.
While the players were having a carnival, Xi Wei, who was far away in the Kingdom of God, was in pain from looking at the corpse of the giant in the barren hills.
This thing is inedible and useless, and it is shrouded in the divine power of the mountain king. It can't even be used as a sacrifice to absorb the power of faith, but the barren mountain giants are epic creatures after all, and their corpses can be met but not sought. , It seems a little bad to just throw it away... In short, it's a tasteless tasteless thing to throw away...
"It's a loss." He shook the ball of light, looking like a rich landlord shaking his head and feeling distressed about his property: "After a battle, I didn't gain much power of faith, and even lost a golden legend. Lost."
Having said that, he is actually quite happy for his players.
Because this incident shows that even without the guidance of the mission, the players can rely on their own abilities to do such a great thing among mortals.
And regardless of the corpse of the barren mountain giant, after all, this thing can be said to be the spoils of the players. It is completely reasonable for them to give the spoils to their gods. Even if the king of the mountain is here, there is nothing to say. It was Xi Wei who held the righteousness. At least the Earth Vein Weaver had no reason to end. Xi Wei, who had a big lion to help him take over the blame, had no fear of it!
What really gave Xi Wei a headache was another loot captured by the players.
A dead soul lamp.
This thing is considered a prop, and players will not give it to Xi Wei after they get it, so Xi Wei can only have a rough perception of it.
According to Xi Wei's perception, this dead soul lamp should be a sacred weapon of the Necromancer's pantheon.
A little explanation of the difference between artifacts and holy artifacts is needed here.
Artifacts are given by gods to believers, and they are created by gods with powerful power. The vast majority of artifacts are weapons, so artifacts are often interpreted as 'divine weapons'. Although many players in the Church of the God of Games have equipment made by Xi Wei, they are not considered divine weapons because they do not satisfy the requirement of 'powerful' and do not have the blessing of divinity or power; what must be said At present, the only one in the entire church is the 'Giant Toe Sword', which can barely be regarded as an artifact, and it is still the most disheveled one.
If it is said that divine artifacts must come from the kingdom of God, then sacred artifacts are treasures completely created by humans. Their essence is that after accumulating the power of faith of a large number of believers, they have acquired strange abilities (basically corresponding to the power of the gods of faith). Most of the holy artifacts are not weapons, but are enshrined in the church some things or things next to the gods.
There is no absolute superiority or inferiority between the two. In the artifact, there is the "Final Rainbow" that can easily crush a mountain peak, and there is also the "Giant Toe" that can only repair the feet of giants in the barren hills; There is also a 'Crimson Gold Cup' that can only produce one liter of red wine with a particularly good taste every day.
And the dead soul lamp is the type that talks about whether it is good or not, and whether it is strong or not.
It can collect other people's souls as wicks through contracts, and after lighting up, it can provide a specific target with a lot of vitality to continue life. Before the lamp goes out, no matter how much damage the target suffers, as long as it does not exceed the total vitality in the lamp, it will not die.
The barren ridge giant ran to the bandits' stronghold before he died, probably because he wanted his owner to renew his life. But the other party ran away early, so that the lamp was not used in the end.
The reason why this thing is strong is that after it is activated, it is as if the blood is unlocked, and it can't be killed. Even if it becomes a puddle of meat, it can continue to beat people like a slime...
The reason for saying this is because replenishing the soul requires signing a contract with others, and there is no way to replenish it casually, and the restrictions are too great.
Moreover, the contract of this thing is useless to the players. After all, as Xi Wei's believers, the souls of the players will be directly included in the small black room of the Kingdom of God after death, which conflicts with the contract itself, and the priority of the gods is higher than that of the player. The holy artifact is higher, so the contract of this thing will not take effect on the player.
Far away.
In short, Xi Wei originally planned not to have anything to do with the undead gods for the time being. The corpses of the rotten bones are still stuffed in the juicer.
But the world is unpredictable. Among the barren mountain thieves, there are believers of the gods of the undead gods, and they can obtain the holy weapon. Obviously, either the leader of the bandits is not low in a certain church of the undead, or he is from a certain undead. Stolen from the church.
Either way is not a good thing. The former will undoubtedly form a relationship with that church, and Xi Wei may have to repeat the attack on the Evil Bone Church after a while; the latter now that the sacred artifact has fallen into the hands of the players, the goals of those church members will probably change. into players...
"Eggs hurt... Although I don't have eggs now." Xi Wei sighed: "Forget it, let's continue to work hard to improve our strength. If I can punch a child at the heavenly father level, how can I use that?" It hurts."
So he pondered over the means of exploiting the power of faith from players.
