Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 70 [The City Built by the Saint]

Eight o'clock at night.

In the forest outside the northeast corner of Winster.

Because Winster is already here, there is not even a single street light.

The forest was pitch black, with only the snow remaining on the branches reflecting the afterglow of the city farther away, providing some brightness.

These brightnesses cast some shadows.

At this moment, there was a group of people in black robes standing silently in the forest, as if they had merged into the darkness.

They didn't even exhale a breath of white steam.

You have to know that even though the snow has stopped falling, the air is extremely cold at this time.

It's not just a saying that your breath turns into ice.

This group of people seemed like ghosts.

But they are not ghosts after all.

They were the people who had gathered at the invitation of King Winster and were about to go to San Quanti.

Ethan was naturally among them.

But he had put on his mask, and Anya was standing beside him.

The wait has been going on for a while.

Seeing that few people had come, the host of the party, the King of Winster, finally showed up.

He didn't know when he appeared, but suddenly he stood in front of the crowd.

"Everyone, I'm glad you're here. You are the true pillars of the North. I'm proud of you."

No one spoke, everyone was silent.

In fact, the people who came here definitely did not come to become pillars of society. Most of them came just for that third-level alchemical artifact.

Ethan has already done a preliminary head count.

There were only twenty-one people participating in the action this time, far fewer than the number at the rally that day.

Obviously, not everyone is greedy for treasures.

Many people are afraid of death.

Moreover, several of them were probably not on the ship that day.

For example, Dani and George.

Ethan had already memorized their breath, so even if they were wearing robes and masks, Ethan could still tell them apart.

But they can't seem to find Ethan.

After the King of Winters gave a brief speech, he asked them to go out and get in the car.

Walking out of the dense forest, I saw two large trucks parked there in the dark night.

The wheels of these two trucks were tied with iron chains and other measures were taken, which showed that they were specially prepared for long-distance journeys on ice and snow.

Ethan also has trucks under his command, but they are far inferior to these two, whether in terms of model, sophistication, or preparation measures for the vehicles.

Then think of the boat that King Winster used for parties.

This person's identity is truly a mystery.

Ethan couldn't figure out who he was for a moment.

What is certain is that he is a man of great status and wealth.

Ethan was assigned to the second car.

Dani and George were assigned to the first car.

As soon as he got on the car, Ethan was surprised to see someone he knew.

A man in a black robe came up to him and whispered, "Godfather, is that you? I am Living Flame."

Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He changed his mask and restrained his aura. How did this guy notice it?

"Don't get me wrong, I just felt the resonance of one of my creations nearby. It was a bit new, so I guessed it was you."

Living Flame sensed Ethan's hostility and quickly explained.

This explanation made sense. After all, Huoyan was an alchemist.

"Why are you here too? Aren't you an alchemist?"

Alchemists are extremely popular. Even if they just sit at home, they can live comfortably. What's more, the thing they have the most is alchemical creations.

"You don't understand this. Areas contaminated by memes often grow unusual alchemical materials."

When talking about alchemical materials, Huoyan's tone became fiery.

It can be heard that he is extremely obsessed with alchemy.

For the sake of materials, they are even willing to take risks.

But only people like this can grow into alchemists, right?
"Godfather, your wine is very good. I like it very much. Let's work together so we can look after each other."

Huoyan raised the question again at this time.

"no problem."

Ethan nodded.

The truck started moving.

The entire carport was well-insulated, including the facilities inside. Ethan and his friends were actually sitting on a row of leather sofas.

It is obviously the result of transformation.

As the car swayed, Ethan was recalling information about San Quanti in his mind.

He has seen a lot these days.

The history of the city of San Quanti can be traced back hundreds of years.

That was the time when the kingdom was first established, and Winster was just a new city. The kingdom's exploration of the north was not comprehensive, and San Quanti was even located on an ice field.

At that time, the relationship between the kingdom and the church was still very good, and the shadow of the church could be seen almost everywhere. It can be said that the church, especially the Apollo Cult, contributed a lot to the kingdom's development of the New World.

The development of San Quanti is one of them.

At that time, there were some indigenous people in San Kuangti. They lived in ice houses, ate raw meat and drank blood, and there was no sign of civilization at all.

There was a missionary named Quanti from the Sun God Cult who volunteered to go there to preach and vowed to turn it into a place where the sun shines.

At first, no one supported him because the ice field where San Quanti was located was too cold for ordinary people to live there. The residents there were completely unable to communicate and were extremely isolated.

Kuangti walked to the ice field alone, carrying a crutch.

He began to interact with the people there and preach.

Several years passed like this.

People have forgotten that there was such a missionary.

At this time, a man came from the direction of the ice field. The man had the face of an indigenous person, but he was wearing a priest's robe and spoke fluent common language. He went to Winster and found the people of the Church of the Sun. He said that the ice field had been illuminated by the sun, but Quanti was about to die, and before he died, he wanted the Lord to see the results of his teachings.

The Church of the Sun was shocked upon hearing this and quickly sent priests to the ice field. Then they saw a city rising from the ground on the original ice field.

There is even an ice-free port on the shore next to this city, which was formed out of unknown reason.

The whole city became less cold, and at least people could live in it.

But when they arrived, Quanti had already passed away.

In recognition of his achievements, the Church of the Sun elevated him to a saint and the city was named San Quanti.

Judging from this story alone, it seems to have nothing to do with the current meme pollution.

But memetic contamination is often caused by ancient relics, or real names.

In the history of Saint Quanti, the only person who can be related to these things seems to be the saint of that year.

Ethan pondered these thoughts as he swayed in the car.

The city that was once founded by a saint, now a dangerous place, was opening up to him little by little.

The next afternoon, Sheng Kuang mentioned it.
