Don't call me evil god

Chapter 250: If you want to join the church, build the road first

Sam couldn't understand.

He only knew that the training path for a warrior profession really depended on his own efforts. He had to dig out and stimulate the anger in his body, try to control the anger little by little, and transform it into the power of various combat skills.

But...does the power of gods have anything to do with the efforts of mortals?
Sam also once fantasized about being blessed by the goddess of magic and becoming a noble spellcaster.

But he was not blessed.

No matter how devoutly you pray or how much offerings you make to the goddess of magic, it's all in vain.

The situation is similar for other gods.

According to the descriptions of those who have mastered divine arts, it took them almost an instant to acquire the arts.

Maybe he was in a trance while praying;
Maybe you had a sudden palpitation while working;
It is even possible that he simply took a nap, and when he woke up he discovered that he had mastered some magical skill!

They said they didn't know how they mastered it, but if they knew it, they knew it, and if they didn't, they didn't.

Those who master divine arts are therefore called lucky ones who are favored by the gods. If the gods don't like you, no matter how hard you pray, it will be ineffective.

The teachings of the Church of Knowledge are exactly the opposite.

It doesn’t matter whether the gods look favorably upon you or not;

What's important is that you put in the effort.

As long as you work hard enough, even if the gods don’t like you, think you are not talented, and look down on you, you will eventually be able to learn his magic through hard work?
Sam had never heard of such a statement, but after learning the doctrine, he actually developed a sense of anticipation.

If there really is such a great being.

Sam thought about it carefully.

That would indeed be a being worthy of his willing devotion of faith!

……

Sam remembered clearly the requirements for becoming an official citizen and joining the Church of Knowledge.

In addition to learning and understanding the doctrines and passing the assessment, you must also have enough contribution points.

Warren County also has a notice board similar to the one in Westville County, which also lists various ways to obtain contribution points.

Sam went over to check.

Excluding those things like "opening a potion shop, opening a staff shop" which either require a large amount of capital or unique skills, in short, conditions that I cannot do at a glance.

Sam's goal finally settled on a somewhat special task:
"Road opening"

“Task description: Participate in road construction according to the lord’s planning requirements, and receive contribution points and cash rewards based on your work results.”

On the surface, the requirements of this task seem simple.

Isn’t it just road construction?

This job is not only for an adventurer like Sam, but also for someone who can just pull a few refugees outside Ceylon and provide them with food.

The special thing about the task is:
"Request: None."

"Level 1 professionals, warriors and rangers are given priority and can enjoy additional rewards."

This made Sam confused.

Do we need professionals to build roads?
Isn’t it a bit too luxurious!
After thinking about it, it seems to be right.

This is a new territory in the Dark Forest. Those who can come here now are probably adventurers and mercenaries.

Sam thought about it and felt that this task seemed... quite suitable for him.

With his physical strength and power, he must be very efficient in doing such a simple job.

The cash rewards he could get at the end of the day alone should be 6% to 7% of his income from killing monsters.

That doesn't even include the contribution value.

And Sam has discovered something.

The monsters near Xiwei Territory and Warren Territory seemed to have been cleared out.

There are also missions related to contribution points, such as guarding the territory and destroying surrounding monsters.

Sam figured he was probably late.

The monsters nearby had already been wiped out by other adventurers and the believers of the Church of Knowledge. He wanted to find another monster to hunt.

Or you have to go deeper into the dark forest and face greater risks.

Or you'll have to spend more effort looking for it nearby.

In previous years, it was not until the last week of the Hunting Month that the density of monsters in the outer areas of the Dark Forest would drop significantly.

As a result, this year, at the beginning of the hunting month, there were almost no monsters to hunt in the periphery!
Sam made some mental calculations.

“Going deeper into the forest is more dangerous and the benefits are less stable.”

“Let’s build a road!”

……

The next day.

With the official arrival of the Hunting Moon.

According to the plans of the lords of the Church of Knowledge, a total of three roads were started at the same time.

They will connect the Territories of Siwe, Warren, and Chinar to each other.

This time it is no longer a forest trail that can only be used by people on foot, but a serious, wide and smooth stone road that even vehicles such as carriages can pass through!
When Sam first heard the news, he was a little nervous.

Building roads in the dark forest has never happened before!
Even though their work content is not complicated, it is just using tools to knock down trees blocking the road, level the ground, and then lay stone slabs and compact it, which are all basic physical work.

But this is in the Dark Forest, what if a monster suddenly appears?

But when he actually saw the construction environment, Sam understood.

In addition to the nearly one hundred workers who were recruited like him, there was also a group of security guards to ensure their safety.

In the work area.

[Lighting Arrow] maintains coverage throughout the process to prevent sneak attacks from stealth monsters;

A total of 8 spellcasters were on guard in different positions, each holding an [Arcane Blast] scroll in their hands. Once a monster tried to approach, they could repel it immediately, and then launch a large amount of magic concentrated fire bombardment.

During the construction process, they will also use magic to assist, speed up efficiency and shorten construction time.

Further away, a figure could be vaguely seen patrolling, looking like a stalker.

Sam was completely relieved.

There were so many spellcasters escorting them, and the nearby area had been cleared of monsters. Not to mention the Dark Forest, he would even dare to repair the road in the Dark Crypt!
……

So, on the first day of the Hunting Moon, a spectacular scene appeared on the outskirts of the dark forest near Ceylon's No. 3 defense line!
This should have been the day when adventurers and mercenaries flocked into the Dark Forest, looking for suitable monster targets to eliminate.

Monster?

No!

Adventurer?
Not even more!
Except for those adventurers who have the courage to go deeper to look for monsters.

A large number of ordinary adventurers turned into workers, working hard to cut down trees and clear roads in the dark forest!
At the end of the first day of the Hunting Month, the Ceylon clerks who were trying to register their monster hunting records at the border camp on Ceylon's Line 3 were stunned.

At this time of year in previous years, professionals participating in the Hunting Month should be returning with their monsters to register. This should be the busiest time of the day, right?

Why is the camp so quiet this year?

Only a dozen or so scattered adventurers brought back some shabby loot.

Where did everyone go?
Having this doubt.

It’s not just the clerks who are in charge of registration at the border defense line;

And there was Petun Tustin, who had finally arrived after going through so much hardship.
