Don't call me evil god

Chapter 508 A sudden fortune

Pete and the others could hear the dwarves' panicked chatter.

"What is this place? Who brought me here?!"

"God of Lava, I must have drunk too much and am dreaming and hallucinating!"

"It's over, it's over, we're all dead!"

"Don't be afraid, let's unite and kill those cult lunatics, and then escape from here!"

"Impossible! They are all followers of the evil god and lackeys of the devil. We can't win!"

Not far from the altar.

Another group of dwarves were sitting there quietly, meditating with their eyes closed, as if they were waiting for something.

The dwarves who had appeared in the Antechamber of Truth with Pete and the others earlier soon joined in, found a seat of their own, sat down and began to meditate.

On the exposed skin of several of them, Pete saw the familiar spiral tattoos.

Some are on the neck, some are on the wrists, and some are even tattooed on the face.

Found someone!

This is definitely the gathering place for those people in black robes!
[The mission progress has been greatly advanced! ]

【Major contribution completed! 】

[Destiny Points +3000]

[Legendary Experience +53400]

The award from Noven also proves this!
Pete first breathed a sigh of relief, then became ecstatic!
It's stable, it's stable now.

Even in the cult's stronghold, the God of Knowledge will still protect them.

Moreover, his interpretation of God's will was indeed correct.

Staying in the Dark Forest to destroy monsters and earning five-digit legendary experience points would take several weeks, even for people like Pete who have level 3 strength, and the time would be counted in months.

As a result, now they received the same amount of income just by arriving at this mysterious stronghold!
If you want to get better rewards and more blessings from the God of Knowledge, you have to take more risks, follow the guidance of Nowen, and complete the exploration guided by Him.

These rewards are almost all one-time, but they are definitely generous enough to make people rich overnight.

……

Brandon subconsciously reached behind him, but found nothing.

In order to sneak in here, except for Reina, none of them brought any weapons.

The goal of this operation is to conduct reconnaissance and lock the location. If a fight really starts, all the combat power of the Seeking Knowledge Church here must be mobilized over here!
"Ah! Hello, new companions."

A rough voice suddenly sounded not far away.

Pete turned his head and looked in the direction of the speaker.

A very strong man with a muscular body, a tanned skin, a black beard and hair, and long hair.

The grey vest he was wearing looked exquisite, as if it were tailor-made to fit the wearer's figure perfectly, with textured lines and buttons.

The dwarf had a strange smile on his face and was walking towards Pete and others.

"This is the realm of truth for the dwarves. It is rare to see human companions coming here."

"But it doesn't matter. Congratulations. You are about to witness the reality of the world."

"Since you have been recognized by the Supreme Truth, you will definitely become our companions."

Pete had heard this Dwarven word several times:

"The Supreme Truth?"

This word actually made Pete feel a little dissatisfied.

The great god of knowledge, Nowen, knows so much knowledge and secrets in the world, but even so, he still only guides his believers to explore the world with a seeking mindset. He is like a kind father, teaching his believers hand in hand how to work hard to make themselves stronger, instead of solving all problems himself.

It turns out these dwarves are pretty powerful.

He spoke the supreme truth.

It was as if he had received revelation from some supreme being, that through Him he could know all the known and unknown truths in the world and solve all problems.

If such a thing really existed, why would there be so many dangers in this world?

What's more, given the nature of cultists, their three views may be distorted.

God knows what the "supreme truth" in their cognition looks like in the eyes of normal people.

What made Pete feel even more strange was that the dwarves of this cult were quite "friendly" towards them.

The dwarves who were panicking and making a commotion beside the altar were not treated so well. When the cultists occasionally opened their eyes and looked at them, the look in their eyes was no different from looking at lambs to be slaughtered.

"Yes, the Supreme Truth. He is the truth of the world and the final destination of all things."

The dwarf spoke to Pete and the others in a familiar and rhythmic tone:
"Look over there, every month there is a group of such pathetic lambs who are not worthy of the gift of the supreme truth."

He pointed his hand at the innocent dwarves, and this action caused many of them to look at Pete and the others warily and nervously.

“The reality of the world is right before their eyes, yet they sadly cover their eyes and ears and refuse to accept the baptism from the Lord.”

“They will soon have a new life.”

"You are different."

"You have successfully arrived at the Antechamber of Truth with the token in hand. This means that you have directly obtained the recognition of the Supreme Truth. In the future, you will definitely be a member of the Church of the Supreme Truth."

“Don’t worry, you will soon witness His miracles and become His loyal followers!”

Pete felt a little sweat on his back.

It’s not that I’m afraid of being recognized by the supreme truth or becoming a follower.

But he realized one thing:

The cultists here in Stone Fort are much more arrogant than those in Green Port and Ceylon Territory!
The reason they were able to come here was not because of Reina's identity as a warlock, but most likely because they "accepted everyone who came."

As long as they can find a way to contact someone related to them, such as the clerk in the tapestry shop, they will send that person here.

The difference is that.

Those panicked dwarves appeared directly here.

Right next to the altar.

According to the dwarf, they were "not qualified to receive the gift."

But it is different with Pete and the others.

They arrived at the Antechamber of Truth first.

They are “qualified fellow travelers.”

The two ways of arrival probably correspond to different identities or qualifications.

After thinking this through, Pete naturally realized a new problem:

"Why are they so arrogant?"

Just with a rough count, there are dozens of innocent dwarves over there who are likely to be used as sacrifices!
If we count from the timeline of Ceylon, this organization calling itself the "Church of the Supreme Truth" must have been operating for at least a dozen years.

Over such a long period of time, it is very likely that a group of innocent people will be sacrificed every month!

The guards and security personnel of Stone Fortress have all drunk themselves into insanity?!
Didn't they see the hidden evil in the stone fortress?
