Don't call me evil god

Chapter 81 Are there still good people in the lower city?
"The brilliant light above the sky!"

"Believer Miranda Warren, at this moment, sincerely offers you gratitude and praise!"

"I beg you to illuminate the gray fog that permeates the world, so that all evil will be exposed!"

Miranda placed the scripture on her chest and gently stroked the ritual gem with her right hand. As she finished chanting the fixed prayer, a faint warm current flowed out of the gem and flowed into her body along her fingers.

This divine art is called [Detect Evil] by the Cult of the Light.

The specific words of the prayer are not a secret.

In fact, even the small booklets distributed free of charge during missions contained the exact prayers and items required for the ceremony.

However, chanting the corresponding prayer does not mean that the casting of the magic is complete.

According to the church's summary, after the prayer is chanted, warmth is felt in the gem and the statue of the God of Light begins to glow, which means that the magic was successfully cast and the believers have received a response from the gods.

Miranda has tried it before, but she can only get a response the first time she casts [Detect Evil] each day.

After the ceremony, even if she repeated the same process again, she could not get a response again.

The opportunity was precious, Miranda did not dare to delay, and tried to calm her mind and asked her question:
"Lord, please guide your devout believers. May I ask - is there any evil power in the building ahead?"

A bright red light suddenly appeared on the statue that symbolized the authority of the God of Light.

Miranda was shocked.

[Detect Evil] After the spell is successfully cast, you can ask the God of Light up to 3 questions in a specific format during the duration.

The subject of the question begins with "object" and must be related to the evil god.

Three possible results:

The first is that the statue does not respond at all, which means the format is wrong or the caster is not capable enough and does not get a response from the god.

In the second, the statue glows white, indicating that the subject has no connection with the evil god;
The third, and worst, outcome is that the statue lights up red, indicating that the object is related to an evil god.

They are either items tainted with the aura of evil gods, or followers contaminated by evil gods, or even madmen who believe in evil gods.

The Blood Red Mercenaries' base was determined by divine magic to be haunted by evil forces!

Miranda never expected that she would have such a huge gain just after arriving in the downtown area!

The purpose of this trip is to find evidence to prove the threat of the evil god.

Originally, she planned to use the clumsy method of dividing the area and explore it piece by piece with her companions using divine magic until they found the place where the evil power was roaming.

But now it helped her narrow down the scope to the base of the Blood Red Mercenaries!

"Lord, please guide your devout believers. May I ask - have the mortals in the building ahead been affected by the power of the evil god?"

The statue is red again!

The identity of one party has been locked down, there is something wrong with the Blood Red Mercenaries!

As for the identity of the other party.

Although it was unclear why they pretended to be the Crusaders, since these people dared to confront the followers of the evil god, and there were priests who believed in the doctrine of light among them, Miranda subconsciously wanted to classify them as "unsung heroes, potential companions."

However, due to the Crusader's principle that "any unidentified existence must first be confirmed whether it has any connection with the evil god", Miranda still launched a third inquiry.

"Lord, please guide your devout believers. May I ask - have the mortals who appeared before me been affected by the power of the evil god?"

In front of him, the statue symbolizing the God of Light burst into red light three times!
Miranda was stunned.

Fortunately, she had already imagined a complete and tortuous storyline! "These people also discovered that Green Harbor was facing the threat of the evil god. Seeing that the Crusaders were indifferent, as the danger approached step by step, they had no choice but to organize themselves to save themselves!"

“After going through untold hardships, they successfully found clues related to the evil god.”

"Pretend to be a crusader and fight the evil god's followers to the end."

When the result of this divine inquiry came out, she was just like the clown in the circus when she tried to imagine it!

The magic of the God of Light cannot go wrong.

How could this be some unknown hero trying to protect Green Harbor?
It seems that both sides are followers influenced by the evil god!

Miranda is panicking because the problem is huge!

At first she thought it was the same as in the past, just another unlucky person who unknowingly got hold of an item contaminated by the evil god;

Later, she suspected that some crazy cultists who believed in evil gods had secretly infiltrated Green Harbor and were trying to carry out a big conspiracy;

Now it seems that the situation has exceeded her worst expectations!

Could it be that the evil god's followers are fighting among themselves in the lower city?

What was even more outrageous was that Miranda clearly saw that among this group of "evil god's followers", there was someone who could use the [Divine Word: Shield] belonging to the God of Light.

what is this?
Since when did a madman who believed in evil gods also gain the favor of the God of Light? !

Miranda felt that her worldview, which had been crumbling since she arrived in the downtown area, was finally shattered into pieces at this moment.

Miranda tried to think the best of it, perhaps those priests were bewitched or coerced.

The next moment, at the entrance of the Blood Red Mercenaries' base, those people came out, talking and laughing, saying something Miranda couldn't understand:

"As expected, destroying a stronghold gives more legendary experience. I leveled up 1 level directly!"

"I got a lot of points. I got the final blow elimination bonus for 4 Bloodfang Gangs!"

"Tsk, only 4, but I killed 6!"

"Nonsense, how can the difficulty of long-range and close combat be the same! These guys spray pus everywhere at any time, and the close combat environment is much worse than yours!"

"At this rate, we should also kill the enemies in the Customs Pavilion. If we all pool our points, we should be able to unlock the last special skill for the event!"

"..."

Miranda watched helplessly as those "bewitched and coerced" priests happily and enthusiastically communicated with their companions around them, without any sign of reluctance.

Miranda was almost in tears.

She thought she had gained a lot as soon as she came to the lower city. She found evidence of the evil spirit's mischief, and it seemed that there were heroes who took the initiative to organize to resist the threat of the evil spirit.

As a result, the evidence was found.

But isn’t this situation a bit too serious?

Has the evil power in the Lower City developed to this extent?
It seems that the so-called heroes are actually followers of the evil god!

These evil gods’ forces even have enough energy to fight among themselves!
Have even the priests who believed in the Light fallen into the arms of the evil god?
"Is there even one good person left in this city?"
