Chapter 384 The Darkness Before Dawn

Under the dark night sky.

During this period, death and pain have almost become the main theme of Ceylon Territory.

If the believers of the God of Knowledge had not provided critical rescue in time.

For ordinary people in various towns and villages, whether they can survive until now is still unknown.

To be fair.

All those who accepted the help of the believers of the God of Knowledge in the disaster must admit that it was these fearless warriors and heroes who gave them the motivation to persevere.

They are much luckier than their relatives and friends who died at the hands of monsters.

At least they can still survive.

But every time they recall the memories related to the deceased, they can't help but feel depressed.

The sudden disaster of the eternal night has made more than one person fantasize.

If... this is just a nightmare that has not yet woken up, how nice it would be.

When the dawn comes, everything will return to the original state and get back on track.

But this seems to be only a beautiful hope.

The reality is that the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse and worse when there is a slight turn for the better!

Because the Glorious God Cult is here.

…

The destruction caused by the disaster is all-round.

The impact of the wandering monsters means that people's former homes may be directly destroyed by monsters.

Even if they can avoid the destruction of monsters, they dare not go back to live under the threat of void pollution.

In the worst case, even if the disaster is over, they will become a new group of refugees after losing their homes and sources of income.

At this time, it is the Seeking Knowledge believers who guide them and bring them hope!

They were transferred to the vicinity of Qim Town by the Seeking Knowledge believers one after another.

There, someone preached to them about the large expansion plan of Qim Town.

The monster pollution here has been basically cleared, enough to support long-term residence and stay.

There is no need to worry about the source of income.

The upcoming expansion of Qim Town requires the recruitment of a large number of people, from physical work to craftsmanship, enough for everyone to find a job suitable for him.

These Seeking Knowledge believers also promised that when the expansion of Qim Town is completed, they will find a way to take the lead in building a larger, more formal and efficient production organization here!

From crops to minerals, to various materials for magic and divine arts, and various products that have been processed twice, they will recruit people in the expanded Qim Town. As long as they work hard, they can get the rewards they deserve!

Even in the perilous night, with the protection of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, they also diligently carry building materials and build the walls of the future expanded Qim Town according to the planned plan.

Originally, everything seemed to have turned around, allowing them to gradually accept the pain of losing their relatives and friends.

But the priests and crusaders of the Glowing God arrived in Qim Town.

The believers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge did not make things difficult for ordinary people.

As soon as the crusaders and the Glowing God arrived, they quickly evacuated Qim Town and fled into the dangerous wilderness.

This left the Griffin Legion Commander, who was still hesitating whether to expel the heretics, speechless.

The other party left without any nostalgia.

What was left to the Glowing God Church was a Qim Town that could be taken over directly.

Moreover, they even saved the process of slowly gathering people from various villages and towns.

Except for the citizens who live in Ceylon City, everyone else in the entire Ceylon Territory should have gathered here!

This should have been a good thing.

The actual situation is just the opposite.

As the number of people increases.

The daily consumption of food, drinking water and other materials, as well as various needs, are also doubling in complexity.

Everything is a mess.

Ordinary people are increasingly dissatisfied with the order maintained by the Glowing God after taking over.

The Glowing God retained the plan to build the city wall and continued to mobilize ordinary people.

However, there is an obvious difference between working for the Glowing God and working for the Seeking Knowledge Church.

The former will not pay any remuneration for the labor of ordinary people.

The only reward they provide is: only those who participate in the construction of the city wall can receive the supplies for the day, otherwise there will be no food.

One person corresponds to a supply, which can only barely guarantee basic survival.

The existing supplies are taken over by them, uniformly distributed, and uniformly handled.

The Seeking Knowledge believers are different.

Instead of providing materials, they provided a special "banknote" as a reward.

The more you work, the more you get paid.

It's like a pattern left on a piece of paper, with a corresponding number drawn on it, representing the face value of the banknote.

If you need materials, help, or anything else, you can use these banknotes to buy them at the exchange point opened by the Church of Seeking Knowledge.

People who work hard and diligently can get more rewards.

What's even worse is the attitude towards the dead.

The priests of the Church of the God of Radiance just arrived, randomly selected a few people to cast the divine magic of Radiance to provide them with treatment, and then began to spread their gospel:

"The firm belief in Radiance has been rewarded, which has allowed you to receive help from the church!"

"Those who died at the hands of monsters, there is no doubt that their faith was not pious enough, so they did not get the Lord's blessing, this is the punishment they deserve!"

"What you have to do now is to unconditionally obey the guidance of the Lord's messengers-the priests!"

"Don't worry about the disaster!"

"Have you seen these powerful Crusaders?"

"When order is stabilized, they will officially go out to eliminate this disaster on your behalf!"

After all these speeches, the ordinary people who survived felt even more depressed.

Damn it.

They didn't want to hear about who had a firm belief and who would be punished.

The departure of their relatives and friends was enough to make them sad.

At least, it would be good if the disaster could end soon!

But the Crusaders still stayed in Chim Town to maintain order, and did not eliminate the disaster as the priests preached.

On the contrary, the Seeking Knowledge believers who had left heard many people say that they were going to try to end the source of the disaster that caused the Eternal Night.

For these ordinary people, what they are concerned about now is: when will this disaster end, and how long will it take for their lives to return to normal.

Originally, they all vaguely felt that they saw the dawn.

They thought the disaster would end soon.

As a result, with the arrival of the Glowing God Cult and the departure of the Seeking Knowledge believers, why do they feel... the Eternal Night has become even more unbearable!

Although the threat of monsters is no longer the main pressure, they can't see much hope in their lives.

Many people tossed and turned during rest and had difficulty falling asleep.

As soon as they closed their eyes, they would think of their deceased friends and relatives, and their simple but at least fulfilling life.

What kind of life are they living now!

Enduring hunger and cold.

Long nights without light.

No hope for the future.

If this is a dark nightmare, then it should have an end!
