60. Lord of the Dawn
Joyce wasn't the first person to eat crabs in the last days.
In this apocalyptic era when rules are broken and the future is precarious, religions emerge one after another, with different purposes. Some are just to comfort the body and mind, some are deceived by money and sex under the guise of cheating, some are united in people's hearts, and some are inclined to the extreme to hurt others and hurt themselves. Worship horror creatures as gods and dark ignorance religions are more common.
Joyce's plan was to fit their messianic identity, so the religious purpose was quickly set: to rebuild their homeland.
After that, there is the name aspect. Mu Su insisted on his Mu Su Su support group, but it was of little use. In the end, with a vote of 12:4, the name of the religion was decided: Church of the Dawn.
It means that a new dawn will pour out this ruined land.
As for why 4 people have 16 votes, it has to start with Mu Su's tricks and counting his feet and legs.
As the "god" of the Church of Dawn, Mu Su's identity is the Lord of Dawn who came from the Kingdom of God and walked the wasteland to save the world, and the husband of the Goddess of Dawn - this is what Mu Su asked to add. There is also the lover of the goddess of light, the heart of the goddess of love, and the concubine of the goddess of charm, which were vetoed by the other three.
The position of Archbishop of the Church of Dawn is held by Joyce. Chen Yue and the Lin Ou who was called were the first saints, and they were responsible for serving the Lord Mu Su who followed the morning light.
Cardinal Anthony is the only one for the time being, and for the sake of safety, he will only be a member of the Eternal Life Order. The same goes for the saint. After all, Mu Su, the lord, is very weak and very good.
There is no candidate for an ordinary bishop, and it is also the highest priesthood that the Aboriginal people can hold. The upper echelons of the church must be in the hands of the Eternal Life Society.
The prototype of the Church of Dawn, which may shine in the wasteland in the future, appears at this moment.
Religion is a shortcut, and it binds people's hearts more than force. It's also a double-edged sword. No one in power likes this group of aliens to mess around on their own turf. Therefore, for the promotion of religion, Joyce needs to arrange it in detail. And because none of the people present knew anything about religion, he needed help.
Anthony went to call for Elenor, the scavenger who had volunteered to join last night.
Chen Yue's hands were dipped in mud soup, and a handful of paste was smeared on the ground and onto Mu Su's face. It was all over the mud before I stopped.
Because there was no need to pretend to be serious, Mu Su complained to himself: "Is destroying beautiful things that excite you like this? ”
"That's right." Chen Yuesha said as she washed her hands.
Mu Su posted over and whispered, "Then do you dare to be interested in conquering beautiful things?" ”
Chen Yue's eyes turned to him: "If your performance is not exposed in the future, it's not that you can't think about it." ”
"Hmph, do you think this trick will work for me?" Mu Su snorted coldly and retreated, hiding in the corner and muttering in a low voice how to play a god well.
A moment later, Elenor was brought in, and she first quickly swept over everyone, her gaze taking root on Mu Su with a strange look.
Her observations are astute, in fact it illustrates how she, as a woman, survives among the scavengers.
"Is there a religion in Hale?" Joyce inquired of her.
Eileno woke up like a dream, lowered her head and whispered: "The city lord has a strong desire to control, and all signs have been eliminated......"
Joyce didn't think this was the answer, and instead asked, "What about the secret religion of the inhabitants." ”
"I've only heard of a few groups of a dozen people......"
"Understood, you can go back."
Elenor nodded, suppressed her curiosity about Mu Su and left.
"A person who has the courage to grasp the moment, maybe we can use her." Anthony made a brief comment and briefly introduced her origin to Mu Su.
Joyce knew that now was not the time to implement the plan. Neither Musu's attribute points nor their strength are enough to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and self-protection.
He spoke: "Then the second phase will be put on hold for the time being, and we will continue to investigate the internal situation of Hale City first, and then start after understanding." Now let's move on to the first stage and improve the overall strength. ”
If you want to improve your strength, you can't bypass the stage of hunting mutant creatures.
At present, the use of external forces is the fastest and safest means. For example, the way of smoking before Musu. This gave Joyce an inspiration. He looked up and asked Mu Su and the others, "What will happen if we set fire to the mountain?" ”
"I'll sit in prison." Mu Su said.
Several ignored his statement. Chen Yue asked in a deep voice, "It's not difficult to set fire this season...... But what if the experience of burning does not return to the arsonist.
Anthony took over: "We can try it." Catch a live mutated creature, throw it into the fallen leaves and set it on fire, and then it will be clear. ”
Chen Yue bowed: "I have no opinion." ”
Setting fire may bring a lot of experience, but only to the person who set it on fire. And the location is yet to be agreed.
Others who want to increase their strength can only rely on killing mutant creatures.
For example, the anthill found by Musu.
"We can go to the anthill and hunt." Joyce said.
Force ants may be difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but they only pose some threats to members who have been promoted. In particular, Ringo's strength is already 25 points.
"Those ants are very brave." Mu Su said.
"So I decided to let Chen Yue and Lin Yue each lead a team to hunt. Gain experience and bring back the corpse for the quest. Fight to feed the war. ”
"Blown-up plan, nothing wrong." Mu Su gave a thumbs up.
"It's flawless...... Anthony complained.
"Pretty much the same thing."
Outside, the sky has brightened. A toothed rat is scorched and eaten, and the resting members take turns to move. Chen Yue and Lin Yue went to the anthill, and the two teams followed to take on the task of guarding and carrying them.
Joyce and his two teams stayed in the cave to prepare supplies, while the remaining two teams went fishing in the river. Physical strength is the guarantee of combat survival. Toothed rat meat is a food suitable for surviving humans, not for them.
Anthony leads Musu to the cave with the last toothed mouse and gets a secondary quest reward.
Along the way, Anthony repeatedly reminded Mu Su not to come nonsense, but I don't know if Mu Su listened to it.
In the cavern, the rising swaying planks were just as apprehensive as Anthony had been.
Rising to the high platform, Anthony didn't dare to let Mu Su condescend to pick up the toothed mouse, put it in the empty space, and then looked at the captain of the soldiers with a smile on his face.
"There's only one this time?" The correspondence was familiar, and the captain was not interested in embarrassing Anthony, so he looked at it and said casually.
Anthony pretended to wipe his sweat and replied with a smile: "The surrounding area has been almost killed by us, and it took a long time to catch this ......"
The captain nodded vaguely, his eyes fell on Mu Su's deliberately smeared face, and suddenly froze slightly.
He pushed away Anthony, who was in front of him, and walked in front of Mu Su, his eyes never leaving that face.
"Look." Mu Su spoke.
Hearing this, Anthony secretly said that he was going to die, and cautiously took a few steps back to approach a soldier with a gun.
saw that the captain turned around with a look of disgust, and muttered in his mouth: "It's actually a man." ”
