Don't call me evil god

Chapter 521: The Sewer Duo

"We now have a main goal, and for that, we need to accomplish two tasks."

Pete summarizes the situation:

"That messenger, she must die."

Nowen directly assigned the task of eliminating the messenger, who was definitely a hostile target, and who was a cultist, so there was no psychological burden in killing him.

As we all know, cult members have no human rights.

"But we can't act rashly."

"If we go head-on and confront each other, our chances of winning are very low and it will alert the other party."

The messenger of the Church of Supreme Truth has been staying in the place she calls the "Realm of Truth". Currently, the only way to enter and exit is through the use of the [Summoning Ritual].

Furthermore, the [Summoning Ceremony] must be performed by someone in the Realm of Truth.

There is no other way to get in.

If I enter rashly, what if the other party simply becomes a coward, hides inside and refuses to come out, and directly replaces the token for the [Summoning Ritual]?
The skull is a condition for being summoned, but this condition is not the only one.

Even if the opponent has a broken boot, an old wine glass or something like that, it can be used for summoning.

Tokens can be replaced.

"We need to gather enough people, and - we need to have enough tokens." Pete concluded: "Then we can take advantage of the opportunity of summoning everyone to reach the Realm of Truth and kill the messenger directly."

"Or can we go in by ourselves, then draw a magic circle on the spot to pull people in, is that okay?" Lena thought for a moment and asked.

Pete pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps...but I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to train enough warlocks in a short period of time."

"Well, it seems so."

Reina reluctantly gave up her idea.

The six-dimensional attributes required for [Summoning Ritual] are at the level of a tier 3 spell.

For existing knowledge seekers with level 3 strength who want to quickly learn the [Summoning Ritual], signing a contract with the devil is a relatively simple step. All they have to do is call Raphael.

This guy seemed to enjoy seeing the members of the Church of the Supreme Truth get humiliated. There were corresponding clauses in the contract he made with Reina. As long as they could kill the warlocks of the Church of the Supreme Truth, he would be happy to lend them his power.

The difficulty is that you have to commit suicide to reset your points first.

The free attributes need to be reallocated into the attributes required by the spell.

Secondly, if one wants to further his studies as a warlock, the identity of a devil's contractor is not that popular.

It’s okay when you are not famous, you can disguise yourself and not show off.

Once people know the identity of a sorcerer, even if he does good things, he will inevitably be feared in life.

The number of believers who have reached level 3 in the Church of Seeking Knowledge is still not very large, with only about a hundred people at present, and most of them are exactly level 3 at level 30, which is the entry level of level 3.

How much temptation would it take to make them switch to majoring in the hated and feared warlock?

Under the premise that all kinds of professional routes can be freely chosen, the largest number of members of the Church of Knowledge are now mages and priests, who together account for 7% of the believers.

The common characteristics of these two professions are that their powers have a wide range of applications, are highly recognized by society, are easy to be respected, and are easy to master magic and divine arts.

The number of people majoring in Warriors and Rangers is much lower.

The former is simply easy to get beaten.

The soldier is always the one who dies the most and suffers the most serious injuries.

Even many adventurers who were level 1 or 2 warriors before receiving Norwen's "blessing" committed suicide and reset their levels after joining the sect, changing their main profession to mages.

After all, masochists who like to be beaten are still a minority.

The reason why the Ranger is unpopular is that this profession has a certain learning threshold. Shooting is something that cannot be mastered without some skills and practice!

Even the weakest warrior can attack nearby enemies by swinging his weapon randomly, or simply hold up his shield and take the hits;
It is also very simple for a priest to heal teammates. All he needs to do is to direct the magic to the target.
The mage's magic can also be guided by the mind, and the enemy target is still easy to lock at a distance of up to 30 to 50 meters.

Rangers' current advantage is their extremely long striking range.

A truly excellent ranger, such as Baron Chinar, can accurately hit the monster's head from 300 meters away.

Hitting the target from a hundred paces away is as easy as drinking water.

But this does not rely on magical powers, but serious basic skills.

The rangers' wilderness magic can basically only provide some auxiliary functions when shooting, such as making the shot arrows more stable, flying faster, adding some special effects, or enhancing their own sensory acuity, etc.

But if the basic skills are not good and the shot cannot hit the target, then the ranger's advantage in attack distance will be wasted.

If you want to get within 50 meters, why not change your career and become a magician?
As for the stalkers?
This profession is even more unpopular among the unpopular ones. Even though the Church of Knowledge now has more than 2000 members, the number of stealth operators has not reached three digits.

A standard sewer occupation.

Although people don't hate stalkers, they definitely don't like them either.

In Ceylon City, stealth operators of level 3 and above are required to report and wear an arcane locator before entering the city.

of course.

Not many stalkers respect this rule. After all, those blessed by the shadow don't like the feeling of being watched.

Anyway, if they really want to enter the city, it is very easy. Once [Stealth] is turned on, they can just find an opportunity to sneak in.

But it is precisely because the stalkers do not follow the rules that they become even more unpopular.

Vicious circle.

Warlock...his reputation is even worse than that of a rogue, and probably only slightly better than that of a cultist.

Cultists have no human rights;

Warlocks have human rights.

That's the difference.

Pete estimated that even if Raphael signed a contract with the believers of the God of Knowledge, not many people would be willing to pay attention to him.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a respected mage/priest?
Why choose a career that involves frequenting sewers, being mysterious and sneaky?

If nothing unexpected happens, the number of people majoring in the Warlock career path should be able to compete with the Rogue for the throne of the King of the Sewers of the Church of Knowledge.

In short, it may not be easy to accumulate enough level 3 warlock professionals in a short period of time.

……

Another approach is to obtain a sufficient number of tokens and then use the enemy's [Summoning Ceremony] to launch a blitzkrieg, which is also somewhat difficult.

The Merciful Ones - that is, those dwarves who have been directly brainwashed are not allowed to hold the token for a long time.

Only fellow travelers can take away the corresponding tokens from the 47 strongholds and the Realm of Truth and carry them with them.

The merciful ones usually live completely normal lives like they did in the past. They will not go to the realm of truth, and naturally they do not need any tokens.

In fact, before they received instructions, it was difficult to discover that the other party had any connection with the cultists.

If you want to get enough tokens, you have to start from those strongholds.
