Don't call me evil god

Chapter 335 Baron Franklin's Manor
Raven Town.

Everlasting night.

The gloomy and dark sky seemed like a huge mouth of the abyss that opened wide to swallow everything. Just looking at it brought a heavy pressure to people.

The doors of most of the buildings in the town were closed, and there was no light on inside. It was dark and dead.

From time to time, one could hear a few suppressed sobs or nervous low screams.

Because there were a large number of level 0 monsters, face huggers, crawling and wandering back and forth on the streets.

Although the facehugger monster does not have organs such as eyes, it relies on hearing to find its targets.

But in the emergency, the townspeople fled back to their homes in panic and did not even dare to light a candle.

On the one hand, they didn't know the habits of the monsters roaming outside;
On the other hand, even if they knew, they would still worry. What if a new monster appeared and no one else had turned on the lights, and only their house had the lights on? Wouldn't that make them a ready-made target?
All these ordinary people can do now is to pray over and over again to the God of Light or other gods of their respective beliefs.

Pray that the Cult of the Light can quickly send the Crusaders to rescue them.

Even if there are no Crusaders, a few adventurers and mercenaries who can destroy monsters would be helpful!

Compared to these townspeople who are in a miserable situation.

The townspeople who were gathered at Baron Franklin's manor at Gale's call were much luckier.

Perhaps it was because of the presence of Gale, a powerful professional who mastered both magic and the art of radiance;
Perhaps it was supported by Baron Franklin’s reputation;

Perhaps as the number of people increases, everyone inexplicably feels more confident.

In short, there was no serious mass panic or chaos.

After Gale revealed his "heretic" identity, the townspeople made simple choices:

"No matter if he is a heretic or not, in front of the monsters, we are the same kind!"

Baron Franklin's estate was relatively safe.

There is plenty of food.

Gail's grandmother loves to eat beans, and her home always stocks a variety of beans.

Stir-fried beans, stewed beans, boiled beans, baked beans, bean cakes, bean buns...

She could cook different kinds of beans for more than a week without ever making the same one twice.

Don't worry about food.

The manor also has a solid foundation for defending against monsters.

The wall is solid, and there is plenty of material available for repairs at any time.

Coincidentally.

With the arrival of eternal night, the temperature began to drop rapidly even though it was September.

Originally, there were not many warm cloths and clothes in Franklin's manor.

But they happened to be keeping vigil over Gail's "corpse" during these few days.

The curtains and drapes in the hall could be pulled down and wrapped around the body to provide some temporary warmth.

Food and clothing are not lacking for the time being;

Safety pressure is also guaranteed.

In fact, the law of ennobling manor nobles promulgated by King Reyak at that time did not reward gold coins or farmland, but the thing called "manor". The original idea was that when a disaster caused by evil gods and monsters broke out, it could be used as a temporary stronghold to protect civilians.

Every year during the monster red tide, when old Franklin responded to the king's call, fulfilled his noble duty, and went to the border defense line to participate in the defense;
Baron Franklin's manor in Raven Town will also gather local townspeople, asking them to bring their luggage and dry food and wait in the manor for a few days until the red sun sets during the red tide.

……

Take in all the townspeople rescued by Gale.

The specific placement method is also very simple.

Remove the "mourning hall" that had been set up in the lobby of the main building of the manor, take out some old blankets and spread them on the ground, which can be used as a place for these townspeople to rest overnight.

Just arrange for someone to prepare more food for them.

Gail's "resurrection" brought a huge shock to Baron Franklin and his other family members.

"Kid, you...what happened to you?"

After being away from home for more than three years, Gale came back to Green Harbor. Not only did he become a level 3 wizard and a glow priest, he also performed the miracle of resurrection from the dead.

This was too outrageous for the Franklin family. If Gale, a real person, had not been in front of them, they would not have dared to believe such rumors.

"Grandpa, father."

"As you can see, the effect of divine magic. The great being I believe in now has given me the channel to master power and the method to change my destiny."

Gail did not say anything explicitly about the divine art of [Resurrection].

He did not tell his family directly that if they believed in Novan, the god of knowledge, and became his followers, they would be able to be reborn after death.

Not to mention how much it would cost.

He just made obvious hints.

Gail's family understood.

No wonder his own child inexplicably developed the [Euphoria Potion], the kind that allows people to commit suicide.

If you could return to the world after death.

The desire to die without pain is indeed a need.

Not only did they understand, they were also moved!
The temptation of resurrection from the dead lies before us.

Unless the object of your faith is an evil god, when you are resurrected after death one day, you will be a monster instead of your original self.

In other cases, they believed it even if it was heresy!
"However, the current situation is rather troublesome."

Having said that, Gale glanced at the sky with some worry.

The dark night remained unchanged.

The feeling of depression grows heavier.

"We have to stay in Ceylon for a while now. The disaster has caused all of us to be trapped in a huge illusion that we cannot escape from."

"You must hold on until this disaster is completely resolved."

Upon hearing this, old Baron Franklin nodded with confidence:

"Don't worry, kid!"

"You will stay with us during this time and stay in the manor honestly."

"Wait for the Crusaders of the Glorious God Cult to come and support us, then we can pack up and leave."

"There's nothing valuable in the manor. Most of the valuables are in the potion shop."

"As long as the potion shop can continue, it doesn't matter if I become a baron or a noble."

The old Franklin family, starting from Gail's grandfather, is a rare family.

He was first a Tier 3 warrior and was named a baron.

As a result, after a few years, he was suddenly blessed by the voodoo goddess Sethe and possessed the magical power to make magic potions.

Started a potion business.

Although potion merchants are not as high-ranking as nobles in status, the key point is - they make a lot of money!
With only one manor, like Baron Chinal's, the income of the Chinal family would almost be drained away if Pete went to Greenport to study.

The Gale family was much more affluent.

If you have money, you can even renovate the manor.

The outer walls have been specially reinforced, and the granaries inside have also been expanded and reinforced.

This made old Franklin very confident about staying in the manor for refuge.

He planned to hold the place and protect the townspeople gathered by Gale.

This also fulfills the mission of noble honor to protect ordinary people when disaster strikes.

What about those townspeople in distress outside?
The laws of the kingdom do not require nobles to go to the extent of risking their own lives.

Different levels of titles correspond to different numerical requirements for protecting civilians.

As long as the corresponding quantity requirements are met, the mission is completed and there will be no punishment afterwards.

This batch is enough for now!
But Gail has a completely different opinion about his grandfather's plan!
"Grandpa, that's not right!"
