Don't call me evil god

Chapter 208 Real Envy
The regional stability of [Outskirts of Misty Valley] has returned to the "low danger level" state, and exploring the dark dungeons is naturally put on the agenda.

It will take some time for the believers of Green Port to arrive here, especially those who plan to immigrate here in accordance with the oracle. It will always take some time to deal with various matters.

The believers of Misty Valley can't wait any longer!

Fighting monsters is dangerous.

But the pleasure of becoming stronger after winning is real.

After being freed from the worry of death, many people have come to like the feeling of gradually getting stronger as seen with the naked eye:
If you kill 20 more level 1 monsters, you can level up again!
Kill three more level 3 monsters and you can redeem and learn a new magic!
All improvements can be calculated intuitively!

The monsters near the Misty Valley were basically wiped out in the large-scale crackdown, leaving only some 0-level small monsters. In addition, there is a dynamic adjustment provided by the [Regional Stability] mechanism. As long as there is no sudden change, the danger level will basically remain at this level with slight fluctuations.

In a team, killing a level 0 monster will only earn you less than 0.3 destiny points and less than 2 legendary experience points.

Even if you find a small-scale nest of level 0 monsters and kill dozens of them, you can only get a dozen points of reward.

what?
A medium to large monster lair?

There's no way that thing could exist around the Misty Valley!

Every large-scale monster nest develops gradually from a small scale and eventually takes shape.

When it was still a small-scale nest, it had already been cleaned out by the hungry believers, and there was no chance of it becoming a large-scale nest at all!

The environment cannot meet the believers' growing points and experience needs.

In short, for the believers whose average level is beginning to approach Level 2, the strength of the monsters outside the Misty Valley is no longer enough!

……

A clear goal is more likely to motivate believers than letting them run around in the dark forest like headless flies.

The dark crypt is the destination designed by Nowen for his believers.

Because the evil god's pollution in the dark cave was too serious, many of the contents returned after Nowen used his authority were in chaos.

From Nowen's perspective, the reading experience is like reading a bunch of garbled code, from which one can only barely read out fragmentary information.

The consumption of divine power was enormous, which gave God a headache, and in the end, there was not much that he could figure out.

So Nowen decided to leave this troublesome matter to the believers.

It’s not that the priesthood authority cannot be used, but it drives believers to be more cost-effective.

Moreover, there is another advantage to having the mass mobilization target clearly located in the dark dungeon.

That is, the location where believers die will be relatively fixed.

Otherwise, if they died everywhere in the dark forest, it would be difficult to retrieve their bodies.

It would delay his own pace of becoming stronger and also affect the development of the overall strength of the Church of Seeking Knowledge.

Considering the size and danger level of the crypt, Nowen did not become arrogant enough to directly assign his believers impossible tasks such as clearing the dark crypt.

According to the information in the Dark Crypt, there might even be a crack in the deepest part that connects to the void. Let alone the 6th-level monsters, if you are lucky, you might even be able to see the evil god himself.

The mission that Norman issued to his followers was to explore the dark crypts. The exploration rating would be calculated based on what they found in the crypts, the spoils they gained, and other unexpected gains!

The higher the rating, the better the rewards.

……

Following the route provided by Yaan's recollections and praying to the God of Knowledge to correct the route, the believers advanced towards the entrance of the underground cave where Yaan had mistakenly entered.

It is worth mentioning that Yaan had a very "bad" time these two days.

Because he witnessed the lives of the believers of the Church of Knowledge with his own eyes!
What he found most incredible was definitely the magic of resurrection.

The situation is just as Pete said. In the Church of Knowledge, resurrection is not something particularly precious, but a basic benefit that everyone can enjoy.

Moreover, all believers can become professionals.

Ya'an watched helplessly as the old farmer, who was still bending over to farm the day before, launched a skillful combination of [Charge], [Half Hamstring], and [Heroic Strike] combat skills against a monster outside the valley the next day.

Everyone has unique skills!

There is also delicious food, all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables that he may not be able to eat in Ceylon City. For the believers of the Church of Knowledge, there is no need to worry about these, as they can get them by fighting or working!
Even with the emergence of the divine art of [Resurrection], destiny points are now linked to the lives of believers.

In order to save destiny points, some people simply don't eat the toast that can be exchanged for 0.5 destiny points in the Creation Altar.

He planted some wheat and other crops near his residence, harvested them with the help of harvest magic, dried and dehydrated them with magic, then ground them into coarse flour in the nearest mill in the valley, and then processed them into black bread with a worse taste in a public oven.

They used to eat even oatmeal, and the taste of black bread was already very good, and this thing could fill their stomachs just as well.

The key is to save points!

Even though the few Destiny Points saved every day are not many, they add up to a lot, which is equivalent to one more chance to be resurrected by the [Resurrection] spell every three months or so!

Yaan looked at the believers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge and drooled with envy.

He now also wanted to offer his faith to the God of Knowledge!
Not to mention anything else, just the debt of nearly 500 gold coins he owed, if he really wanted to become a believer of the God of Knowledge, that would be a big deal!
Even if he didn't go into battle, just reselling equipment from Maren's blacksmith shop and shipping it back to the Kingdom of Reyak to sell to adventurers and mercenaries was a sure way to make money!
All the monsters along this route were almost slaughtered by the believers who were involved in the reselling.

As long as you are familiar with the route, it will be very safe on the road and you don’t have to worry about encountering danger.

Besides, even if you encounter danger, you can be resurrected anyway!

However, as if his bad luck had struck again, Yaan later learned that the oracle sent by the God of Knowledge clearly conveyed the message:

The 1000 believers that the Church of Knowledge currently has is the upper limit.

When we find the [perfect permission], we can expand the number of believers.

Yaan felt really bad at that time!
How come it's full here?

If he hadn't heard that [Perfect Permit] was located in a dangerous dark dungeon, Yaan would have wanted to go find it himself!
Now he just stays in the Misty Valley every day, hoping that the people of the Church of Seeking Knowledge can quickly find the [Perfect Permission] so that he can have a chance to prove his piety!

The good news is that Yaan shouldn't have to wait too long.

Because with the location of the entrance to the crypt that he had mistakenly entered being found, the strongest team of the Church of Knowledge is about to launch the first exploration of the dark crypt!
