Chapter 551: Turt Oasis and the Church of the God of War
After crossing the vast desert, we finally saw a vast and vibrant oasis. It was like a shining pearl, inlaid in the embrace of endless yellow sand.

Rows of tall and straight poplar forests stand proudly on the edge of the oasis. They are like loyal guards, using their broad branches and leaves to densely block the raging sandstorms, building an indestructible green barrier for this pure land.

Inside the oasis, the scene is even more colorful and full of vitality. Countless carefully dug ditches crisscross, like silver ribbons spread across the land, they happily flow with clear water, nourishing the lush farmland on both sides.

Merchants from all over the desert flocked to this hot land.

They came from distant places, riding camels or driving horse caravans, loaded with all kinds of goods.

This oasis became a great place for them to exchange goods and culture. The wide variety of goods, from precious spices and exquisite handicrafts to daily food and cloth, made this oasis one of the most prosperous and lively areas in the western desert of Fanor.

This is the Tourte Oasis!

It is the core of the southern part of the western desert of Fanor Continent.

Although Felix Oasis and Turte Oasis are both large oases, Felix Oasis was created by the legendary druid and its area cannot be compared with that of Turte Oasis.

Although the Turte Oasis is located in the desert, the Tamu River, which is formed by the melting snow in the distant mountains, flows through it, so the environment here is no different from the fertile plains in the eastern part of the continent. It is almost equivalent to the area of ​​two Luo Peninsulas.

Because the Turte Oasis is so large, several cities were built in it.

The most famous is the holy city of the Church of the God of War [Armandu City].

The city that appeared before the Bryce caravan was the city of Respe, located in the north of the Tourt Oasis.

Caravans from other areas of the desert basically choose this place as their destination.

They sold the goods they brought here and also purchased the specialties of the Turte Oasis.

Because not far to the south of Turte Oasis is the most famous Weihai Bay fishing port in the western desert area, merchant ships departing from here can travel to other areas of Fanor Continent and other continents.

Compared to crossing the Garon Mountains, it was easier for people in the Western Desert to trade with other regions via sea transport.

Standing on the road leading to the city of Respe, the bustling flow of people makes this place look like a very prosperous trading capital rather than a city in the desert.

Bryce arranged for the caravan to head towards the city of Respey. The hard journey over the past month had left everyone in the caravan exhausted, and they looked towards the city of Respey with a hint of excitement and joy in their eyes.

Duke, who was traveling with the caravan, also looked different. He became much tanned and looked more stable.

There is no change between Li Si and Taiya. During this period, they spend every day together and enjoy the rare vacation.

Bryce looked at Li Si and said:

"Sir Lis, we have arrived at Respe City."

"Are you with us?"

Bryce just came here to ask questions as a routine matter. This was the destination of their caravan.

Li Si had said before that they would leave the caravan once they arrived at the Turte Oasis.

"No need, I'll just leave."

Li Si waved his hand, jumped off the camel first, and then caught Taiya who jumped down.

“This is our thanks.”

Bryce handed Li Si a small box filled with gold coins and gems.

He had previously promised to give half of the caravan's goods to Li Si as a thank you, but he couldn't let Li Si wait for them to sell the goods slowly.

Bryce simply collected all the remaining gold coins and gems in the caravan, which were of similar value.

Although he knew that these properties might not mean much to Li Si, Bryce did not intend to fool around.

Please do me a favor in case I need to trouble Li Si for anything in the future.

Seeing this, Li Si didn't care and put it directly into the storage ring. He nodded to Bryce and then said to Duke:

"Keep working hard. You have quite a good talent. If you have a chance in the future, you can come to the Kingdom of Feis in the east of the continent to find me."

"is teacher."

Duke smiled and nodded repeatedly.

So Teacher Li Si is from the eastern part of the mainland?

No wonder he is so powerful, but I have never heard of the teacher's name before.

After giving the instructions, Li Si took Taiya and headed towards the city of Respe.

The Oasis of Tourt and the city of Respe have a long history.

The sunlight penetrates the sparse clouds and shines on this ancient and mysterious city, coating every stone road and every mottled city wall with a layer of golden glow. Time has left a deep mark here, but it has also endowed it with endless stories and charm.

The outline of the city is particularly clear against the backdrop of the desert. The ancient city walls are built of huge stones and still stand tall despite wind and sand erosion. They have witnessed the rise and fall of the city of Respe for thousands of years.

At the city gate, stone pillars carved with intricate patterns tell of past glory, as if they were a portal to another time and space, leading travelers to explore the depths of the city’s history.

When Li Si and Taiya walked into the city, the first thing they saw was the bustling and lively market. This is the heart of Respe City and a melting pot where various cultures and commodities of the desert meet.

The market is dotted with stalls of all kinds, selling everything from fresh fruits and vegetables, hand-woven carpets to exquisite pottery and sparkling jewelry. The wide variety of goods is dazzling.

The voices of vendors shouting, mixed with the bargaining and laughter of customers, form a vivid symphony of life.

Particularly eye-catching are the unique goods from distant continents, including rare furs from the northern glaciers, which glow with a faint blue light and feel as soft as jade; and exotic spices from the southern elf forest, which exude an alluring aroma and make people feel as if they are in a foreign country.
These goods not only demonstrate the city of Respe’s importance as a trade hub, but also make it a holy place for explorers and traveling merchants.

In the corners of the market, you can occasionally see a few old men in traditional costumes, sitting or standing, playing ancient musical instruments in their hands. The melodious tunes drift in the wind, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to this busy city.

Li Si and Taiya strolled around casually and then headed towards their destination.

In his previous life, Li Si wandered in the western desert for a long time, so this kind of scene was naturally not surprising to him.

It was similar with Taiya. He might have been a little excited at first, but after getting familiar with it, he wasn't so curious anymore.

After casually buying some grilled skewers of sand lizard meat and camel meat and feeding each other, Li Si and Taya walked towards the direction of the Church of the God of War.

Although the holy city of the Church of the God of War, Amandu, is in the Turth Oasis, it does not mean that other cities in the Turth Oasis have nothing to do with the Church of the God of War.

These cities are under the control of the Church of the God of War, and each city has a church of the Church of the God of War. Similarly, the Turt Oasis is also under the protection of the Church of the God of War, and anyone who wants to create chaos here will be hit by the Church of the God of War.

Soon, a magnificent and tall church appeared in front of Li Si and Taiya.

The Church of the God of War, located in the heart of Respe, is like a towering monument, standing proudly amid the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this city, yet it is a solemn and quiet world of its own.

The entire architecture of the church is constructed with cold and hard stone. The towering spire seems to pierce the sky. Its lines are sharp and decisive, without a trace of redundancy, revealing an indescribable aura of solemnity and iron blood, as if every brick and tile carries the will and glory of the god of war.

The exterior walls of the church are covered with mottled marks carved by the years, but these marks not only do not diminish its majesty, but instead add a sense of historical weight.

The huge oak door was inlaid with intricate metal decorations. The armor-like patterns sparkled in the sun, as if guarding the last line of defense leading to the sacred temple.

The people who come in and out of this church, apart from the ordinary believers who are dressed simply and have pious faces, are mostly extraordinary professionals with extraordinary aura and sharp eyes, exuding a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.

This is also the habit of the believers of the God of War. Before going out on adventures, they will come to the church of the God of War and pray to the God of War, hoping that everything will go well in the upcoming battle.

They do not pray to avoid battle, which goes against the teachings of the Church of the God of War.

Li Si ate the camel meat in two or three bites. The camel hump meat was actually very greasy, but it had a unique flavor when roasted over a large amount of spices and high heat.

When Li Si walked into the church with Taiya, no one stopped him from entering, and no one came forward to ask him to donate money or property.

The moment you step into the Church of the God of War, it's as if you've crossed the boundaries of time and space and arrived at a sacred place that's both solemn and slightly austere.

The air was faintly filled with the unique iron smell of the battlefield. This smell seemed to carry the bravery and sacrifice of countless soldiers, making people involuntarily immersed in the tragic and uplifting atmosphere.

The interior of the church is tall and spacious, with a dome reaching into the clouds, as if to deliver the believers' prayers directly to the ears of the god of war.

The sun shines through the stained glass windows, which are painted with magnificent pictures of the God of War conquering all directions. The colorful rays of light interweave on the ground into a symphony of light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery and fantasy to the entire church.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge statue of the god of war.

The statue stands in the center of the church, as if it is the patron saint of the entire church.

The God of War held a long sword that shone with cold light, and held the shield firmly in front of his chest. He looked like he had just walked out of a cruel battlefield.

The sunlight shines through the stained glass windows onto the statue of the god of war, coating the cold and hard stone with a layer of golden brilliance, making the statue appear more majestic and lofty, as if the god of war himself has come to the world, overlooking his believers and this land.

The statue is surrounded by various offerings and tributes, including flowers, candles, and weapons and armor left behind by the warriors, which quietly express their admiration and gratitude for the god of war.

Li Si and Taiya walked into the church and stayed for a moment.

After feeling it, Li Si shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.

No, it still failed to resonate with the power of faith.

The experience of absorbing the power of faith at the Dawn Cathedral gave Li Si some pretty good abilities.

The power of faith in the Church of the God of War located in the city of Respe is not as strong as that in the Cathedral of Dawn, and Li Si has no way to absorb it.

But Li Si did not regret it, after all, the city of Amandu was waiting for him!

That's the holy city of the Church of the God of War, so there will definitely be no problem.

Thinking of this, Li Si took Taya towards the altar in front of the statue of the God of War.

Several priests from the Church of the God of War were there, accepting prayers from the believers.

As the two men approached, the pastor also noticed Li Si and Taiya.

There was no way around it. Compared to the believers around them, the two of them were too unique in both appearance and the aura they exuded.

Where does this strong man come from?
Seeing that the two men did not have pious expressions but only maintained due respect, the pastor knew that they came to the church for other matters.

The leading pastor did not dare to underestimate him and immediately stepped forward.

"Welcome to the Church of the God of War. What can I do for you?"

"I want to see the Bishop. I have something important to tell him. Could you please tell him for me?"

Li Si controlled his magic so that his voice could only be heard by the priest in front of him.

"Ok."

The pastor looked at Li Si deeply, nodded, and turned to walk to the back of the church.

Li Si ignored the curious looks from the people around him, and instead looked around the Church of the God of War.

Each church worships different gods, and their doctrines and styles are completely different.

If the church style of the Dawn Church is bright, gentle and pure, then the Church of the God of War prefers an iron-blooded style of fighting and combat, and does not shy away from the arrival of death.

In the eyes of the believers of the God of War, the battlefield may be their best destination.

Without making Li Si wait too long, the pastor returned and led Li Si and Taya to the lounge at the back of the church.

As soon as Li Si entered the room, he saw an extremely strong old man wearing a black robe sitting on a chair opposite the door.

The thin clothes could not hide the muscular body at all. The bishop of the Church of the God of War looked more like a powerful warrior than a priest.

"My Lords, what do you want from me?"

Bishop Lionel Martin was shocked when he saw Li Si and Taiya for the first time.

Very strong, stronger than him!
And two of them appeared at once!
The special perception bestowed by the God of War made Lionel understand the power of Li Si and Taya. Although this did not scare him, it made the bishop's attitude more serious.

"Nothing, just bring someone over."

Li Si looked at the old man in front of him and casually threw Fei Si, who was still in a coma, onto the empty space in front of him.

Lionel was stunned, then stood up instantly with a look of surprise on his face.

"This is Faith Martin?"
