Chapter 2142 Orc Curse Chapter 04
The first problem they faced when heading to the Orcish region was that they hadn't unlocked the map of the Orcish region.

In the Blessing system, the map in the system panel can only display the places that the user has visited; places that have not been visited are completely blacked out.

Here we have to mention one of the many flaws in Godlock: the Blessing Map registration only shows places the player has visited or seen. Even if it's just a street away, separated by a wall, if you haven't seen it or even just not been there, it won't appear on the map.

In other games, unlocking maps is like playing a jigsaw puzzle; reaching a city unlocks its terrain. But in Godlock, it's like playing a scratch-off lottery ticket, and with an extremely fine needle, you scratch off a scratch-off ticket the size of a city.

Aside from players who enjoy scouring every corner of the map, who could stand this?

When it comes to gaming, every player is a seasoned veteran, used to swiping open the system interface to view the map, freely zooming in and out, marking coordinates, and getting location guidance, etc. Now they have to start using a [map], a real map.

In addition to being cumbersome to look at and containing errors, actual maps are also quite difficult to obtain.

World maps and kingdoms are easy to obtain; you can simply purchase them from Hermes' Traveling Hat. However, more detailed maps, marked with various villages and towns, are not so easy to acquire.

The coordinates of important towns have always been kept secret, and their full extent is not easily revealed to others; more detailed town maps are virtually unavailable. Although the Titans have fallen, the era of insecurity they brought is far from over.

Putting that aside for now, the orcish region is a blur on the world map, only outlining the general area. There's no depiction of the mountain ranges or their orientation, let alone teleportation points or inns. It's practically a desert; you'd get lost if you entered.

Forget about finding any possible orc civilization; they'd probably get lost after only a few steps and have to retreat in a sorry state using a return-to-town item.

"Indeed, the most urgent task is to obtain a map of the orc region, but it is too difficult for us to make the map directly. We don't know how long it would take to make it from scratch."

Kate the cat frowned, her upper body staring intently at the map with an imposing air, while her lower body sat obediently with her legs tightly pressed together like a well-behaved student.

"Let's go to the Holy Cross Kingdom and find out."

Dali Feizhuan casually slumped his shoulders, tilted his head back, and crossed his left leg, pressing it against Kate Cat's thighs which were pressed together.

"Since the Crusade has identified the orcs as a foreign race, they must have launched multiple attacks against them and entered orcish territories. Even if there is no clear map, there should be a marching record. At the very least, they should be able to find out whether the orcs are really a race with their own culture or even civilization, even if it is just a clue."

"We're going to the Holy Cross Kingdom..."

Everyone looked somewhat troubled, not because the place was too dangerous or because they were very hostile towards the outsiders represented by the players, but because the place was too poor.

To put it nicely, everyone in the Holy Cross Kingdom has abundant spiritual wealth; to put it bluntly, how could anyone survive without the faith in their minds?

It wasn't that the land was barren, but rather that the Holy Cross Kingdom had an incredibly large Crusader expeditionary force that needed supplies, in addition to the relief efforts from churches in various regions, making food expenditures quite staggering. The palpable poverty was truly daunting, but the sacred prayers within the Holy Cross Kingdom and the prestigious profession of Paladin were still quite appealing.

"Does anyone want to acquire a Paladin? We can help you get one while we're at it."

Kate knew that if she went unwillingly, her dissatisfaction would easily accumulate, so she took the initiative to mention the Paladin.

"The Paladin is an all-around class that is quite difficult to obtain. In addition to the attribute and equipment requirements, you also need to go deep into the Holy Cross Kingdom to gain reputation and finally receive the blessing of the Three Saints to unlock all the abilities. In the process, you may be able to obtain information about the Orcish region."

"I want it." The tank warrior in the club raised her hand. She really was the tank in the team. Just from her gentle voice, she seemed like a gentle and mature older sister. Her game character was a muscular man with the maximum size of the human race.

However, based on her casual complaints during conversations, it is known that she is actually petite, and if she goes out with her husband, he will be mistaken for a human trafficker and abducted.

Tank Warrior isn't good at playing games. She's slow and clumsy in everything she does, and when she runs, she instinctively makes some indescribable movements like crossing her arms or holding herself up. It's impossible to expect her to be a damage dealer.

However, the tank warrior's operation is quite delicate. From the perspective of the tank position alone, she is extremely excellent. If the enemy is larger than her, she can complete a precise block without any mistakes.

Furthermore, tank warriors possess excellent teamwork awareness, paying attention to each teammate from the start of the battle and providing timely support.

If tank warriors were given a paladin who possesses extremely high health, exceptional defense, excellent control abilities, and support capabilities, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.

"Anything else?" Kate looked at the others, who all shook their heads after deep thought.

The final decision was to make helping the tank warriors obtain the superior class of Paladin as the main goal, and to obtain information about the Orc region as the ultimate objective. This way, even if all efforts were in vain, at least a fairly good superior class would be guaranteed.

The first troublesome thing about going to the Holy Cross Kingdom is how to get there. Within the kingdom, the best means of transportation between cities is undoubtedly using the teleportation tower, which can get you there in less than a second.

However, if they were to travel between kingdoms, such as from the Kingdom of Giants to the Holy Cross Kingdom, they would need to use a super-large teleportation tower, and their city of Crete did not have such a super-large teleportation tower.

Not to mention Crete, there isn't one in the entire Third Kingdom region. If they want to go to the Holy Cross Kingdom, they have to go to the border city of the Third Kingdom region first, take a carriage or rent a fast-moving ostrich to reach the border city of the Giant Kingdom, and then transfer from the border city of the Giant Kingdom to a large city with a super-large teleportation tower.

The map of Godlock is truly enormous, but the inconvenience of travel caused by factors such as factional conflicts has become a major drawback, deterring many players. Even those who remain are too lazy to travel across regions.
