Don't call me evil god

Chapter 237: Isn’t Brandon dead?

Sam pricked up his ears, trying to listen to the conversations of the people passing by:
"Oh, Brandon is so pitiful. He hasn't died in a long time. This time it's a big death!"

"Nonsense! If he doesn't die after provoking two level 3 monsters at the same time, who else will die?"

"But Brother Brandon is really amazing. If he were a little stronger, he might be able to kill two people at once!"

"No, no, no, I feel it's quite different. It's not that easy to deal with two monsters at the same time. Although both monsters have suffered a lot of injuries, they are still far from being seriously injured, let alone being eliminated!"

"I think it's a weapon problem. Level 3 monsters are armored and distorted. Even Brandon's big sword can hardly break through their defense."

"I heard that Master Maren is currently learning the art of forging with distorted materials. Maybe Brandon will be able to do it in the future if he uses a better weapon!"

"..."

The more Sam listened, the more confused he became.

He probably understood what happened.

These people probably had bad luck, as they ran into two of the terrifying and dangerous Level 3 monsters in the Dark Forest.

The companion they mentioned, named "Brandon", should be the main force of the team. He tried to fight against the level 3 monster but failed, and finally died at the hands of the monster.

The companions may have found an opportunity to bring back "Brandon's" body afterwards.

But what Sam couldn't understand was:

It's obviously sad and tragic when a companion is killed by a monster, right?
In particular, listening to these people's descriptions, Brandon should be a powerful warrior. He was not killed instantly by the level 3 monster, but had the strength to deal with and negotiate with it.

To achieve this level, you need at least a level 3 warrior, right?

The death of such a teammate is a huge loss to the entire team!

Not to mention the adventurer team.

If the opponent is really a level 3 warrior, he can apply to join the King's Army or participate in the Hunting Moon. Based on his military achievements during the Monster Red Tide or his gains in the Hunting Moon, he has the opportunity to be directly canonized as a noble of the kingdom!
Such a being unfortunately died, but his companions were even in the mood to say things like "He will be able to win in the future by using better weapons"?
Everyone is dead! How can we change to better weapons?

Sam felt a little angry.

Because he didn't sense the powerful aura of a level 2 or 3 professional from these passers-by, he estimated that they were similar to himself, probably at the level of level 1?

That Brandon must be the main force of the team!
He could already imagine the battle scene.

The companions were so frightened when they saw the terrifying Level 3 monster that they fled in panic.

Only the main fighters did not give up, mustered up their courage, and used their own lives to buy a chance for their companions to survive.

As a result, after collecting his body, his companions not only showed no respect for his heroic feat, but even commented on his death!

The more Sam thought about it, the angrier he got.

He didn't intend to argue with these guys, but just silently memorized their appearances.

He wanted to remember what they looked like.

If you want to team up with other adventurers to adventure in the Dark Forest in the future, these guys are already on Sam's blacklist.

We must not form a temporary team with them, let alone a long-term team.

At first glance, they are ungrateful guys!
……

After the encounter, Sam successfully found the clerk of Warren County and learned about the study of the doctrine of knowledge:

"It's easy. See that biggest building over there?"

The clerk pointed to a tall, square stone building in the distance and introduced it to Sam.

The building is located in the deepest part of Warren Territory, almost next to the gray fog of the Misty Valley. Sam even doubts whether the building is built into the gray fog!
"Every day during the day there are teachings on the God of Knowledge."

"Every Tuesday at midnight, a test on the understanding of doctrine will be organized in the basement of that building, and scores will be given based on the results of the test."

"If your score can reach above 90 points, you will have a preliminary grasp of the doctrine of seeking knowledge." Sam was amazed.

As expected, as a heretical church, the Church of Knowledge is very unique in every aspect.

The study and preaching of doctrine is also different from that of other divine churches.

It was the first time he heard that doctrine could be assessed.

The preaching of the Church of Light is very simple.

There are free public lectures organized once a month;

There are also small-scale doctrinal studies that take place weekly and require a fee to participate.

But no matter which one it is, the monk in charge of the explanation actually doesn’t care whether you listen and learn carefully or not.

They are only responsible for finishing what they are supposed to say step by step.

There will not be any assessment organized.

According to what the followers of the God of Knowledge have described, if one wants to offer their faith to this god, one must first ensure that they have mastered the teachings?
Looking at the tall building at the edge of the gray fog, Sam hesitated a little.

He was an adventurer who had been struggling in the Dark Forest, and he knew the terrifying reputation of the "man-eating gray fog" outside the Misty Valley.

What if this gray fog suddenly surges and expands? Wouldn’t most of Warren County be in trouble?

Ask your concerns.

The other person's face immediately showed an expression similar to that of the clerk outside Xiwei's territory.

Meaningfully:
"Mr. Sam Doug, please rest assured. Since the Church of Knowledge has established its territory here, it has naturally considered your concerns."

"The gray fog is not a threat to us. There is no need to be nervous."

……

After communicating with the clerk, Sam finally decided to muster up the courage to go to the building to take a look at the situation.

The believers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge all look normal. They are not like those cultists who believe in evil gods and speak crazy words at every turn, nor do they look like mentally ill lunatics.

Since they all said so, there must be some basis that he doesn't know about.

"Perhaps some large-scale magic array?"

"An extremely rare divine gift?"

Sam was thinking along the way and unknowingly arrived at the foot of the tall building.

Four majestic golden characters are carved above the building:
"Seeking a thoroughfare!"

There were many strange rune circuits drawn around the text that Sam couldn't understand, and they seemed to be emitting faint light.

Before he had time to walk into the building, a group of people walking out of the building caught Sam's attention.

The three guys who had just been "blacklisted" by Sam were happily surrounding a strong and muscular young man with a big sword on his back.

"Brother Brandon! You said you could take us to kill monsters for free tomorrow. Is that true?"

The young man agreed with a smile: "Don't worry! Of course it's true. I had bad luck today. I ran into two level 3 monsters at the same time. I didn't get the guaranteed 1000 experience points I promised you. I'll make it up to you tomorrow!"

Sam:!
What did he see? !

Isn't Brandon dead?
