Chapter 159 Old Bill's Ambition
In the misty valley.
The toast bread was simply the most delicious thing Old Bill had ever tasted in his life.
He even hesitated a little. It was a blasphemy and a waste to eat such a perfect and expensive miracle bread directly.
But the round table, oh, yes, it should be the creation altar that clearly told him.
Such a miracle, even if he didn't have any raw materials, he could get one out of thin air at the price of 0.5 knowledge points.
Moreover, he could get miracles here up to 3 times a day!
Old Bill read the other oracles sent by Norwen and learned how to get knowledge points.
Although he didn't know a few words, the oracles that directly flowed into his mind were magical. Just like someone talking to him, he could directly understand the meaning.
The most exciting oracle for Bill was the part about [Life Occupation].
In addition to the identity of a level 1 warrior, Bill found that he also got a life occupation certification called "Farmer".
After being certified as a farmer, he received a new task:
[Farming]
[Today's progress: 0%]
[Reward: 2 knowledge points]
…
Bill has been doing farm work for most of his life. His father and grandfather were farmers. If nothing unexpected happens, his children should also be farmers.
He has never heard of a god rewarding him for his hard work!
The god closest to farming is the God of Harvest.
The priests of the Harvest Church will preach to them that the God of Harvest encourages believers to cultivate farmland, sow crops, and irrigate and care for crops. He will provide shelter during the growth of crops to prevent them from being polluted by evil gods, and will bless them at the time of harvest.
But for so many years, Bill has not felt that the so-called "blessing of the God of Harvest" has a clear effect.
The priests told him that the blessing will make his grain yield more.
Almost all farmers believe in the God of Harvest, and Bill can't find anyone to compare with, so he doesn't know how much his yield has increased.
The only thing Old Bill knew was that even if the yield did increase, he would only get enough money to make ends meet if he sold the wheat he grew to merchants or churches after working hard all year round.
Perhaps, if he did not believe in the God of Harvest, the money he could get from selling the grain he grew would not even be enough to make ends meet?
Or was it simply contaminated by the evil god and could not even be sold, and he put in a lot of effort but got nothing in the end?
Old Bill could not figure it out.
But the situation is different now.
Old Bill can clearly understand one thing:
"As long as he works hard to farm, he can get 2 knowledge points!"
This is clearly marked in the quest oracle!
Just like the miraculous bread he got by paying points at the altar of creation!
The God of Knowledge not only pays attention to the farmer's labor like the God of Harvest and blesses him, but also tells him exactly how much his efforts can be rewarded.
This is what makes Old Bill most excited.
The blessing of the gods is no longer an invisible and intangible empty talk.
2 knowledge points.
It means he can use it to exchange for 4 pieces of miracle bread!
No need to worry about working hard day and night, but in the end he can only eat some unpalatable wheat paste.
Food that only the nobles can enjoy, in the Church of Seeking Knowledge, as long as he works hard on farm work for a day, he can get the reward of the miracle of creation at the Creation Altar and reward himself with delicious bread!
Old Bill felt that this was more exciting than making him a professional!
When Bill was picking up garbage and leftovers in the refugee slum outside Ceylon City to survive, his biggest hope was that the monster pollution in the village and farmland where he lived could be dissipated as soon as possible.
In his own home, he and his children can barely eat wheat paste, and he has his own land to grow food and sell some money.
The refugees have nothing, not even wheat paste!
He really couldn't bear it, so he chose to sign a contract with Hugo.
At that time, his hope was to die early. Death in the dark forest would bring money to his children, enough for him to continue living.
After crossing the border and believing in the God of Knowledge under Pete's preaching, Bill's hope changed again.
He began to hope to survive.
To be a level 1 warrior, to be precise, it should be a half-baked level that barely stepped over the threshold.
It means that he has some ability to protect himself.
No one wants to think about death if they can live.
If he goes back alive and earns the money to hire him, he and his son Ford can survive until the pollution in the village dissipates and resume their past lives.
Bill is not like Brandon, who is obsessed with becoming a high-level professional and a legendary hero. On the contrary, he knows very well that he is not so suitable for fighting. He is old and can't stand the stimulation of dangerous battles.
A stable life is more attractive to old Bill than becoming a powerful professional.
After witnessing the miracle of the Creation Altar, his thoughts changed for the fourth time.
He still wanted to live a stable life, but the difference was that he didn't plan to return to the village where he used to live!
There were also large tracts of land suitable for farming near the Misty Valley!
He wanted to stay, live nearby, follow the oracle, and open up this territory belonging to the God of Knowledge.
Even if the crops he grew could not be sold, he could still exchange the rewards from the farming tasks given by Norwen for delicious bread that he had never dared to imagine in the Creation Altar.
This alone was actually much better than his previous life.
Old Bill couldn't figure out too complicated things, but he could at least understand one thing:
The God of Knowledge sent down an oracle and asked them to guard this place!
Isn't the reason why the Kingdom of Reyak is peaceful because of the protection of the God of Radiance and other gods?
The God of Knowledge is not bad either, and even the miracle of creation has come before his eyes.
With such a great god protecting them, this place will definitely be able to resist the attacks of monsters and establish a new civilized territory.
Old Bill has planned it all.
He wants to make this place his new home!
Not just himself.
He also wants to find a way to bring his son Ford here, and let him also offer his faith to this great god!
The Misty Valley is not far from the border of the Kingdom of Reyak, and the monsters nearby are not as exaggerated as those in the depths of the Dark Forest.
Believers who believe in the God of Knowledge can become professionals through their own efforts. They can also get rewards and become stronger by destroying monsters.
Along the way, Old Bill also saw that the monsters that were difficult for them to resist were actually vulnerable in front of the powerful magic released by the two Lords Pete and Gale!
The threat of monsters is not that scary at all, because the believers of the Church of Knowledge have terrifyingly high military power.
This is not a dangerous border development.
It is clearly a new home full of hope that is about to be born!
...
There will be another update later, and I am working hard!
