Under Angela's introduction, Durin became more and more sure that the Cult of the Soil God must be engaged in something shady, that everything here was established to satisfy the vast majority of people's desires, and that he had also found one of the sources of income for the Cult, and that it did not cost a penny as Henry claimed...... But what he said was actually right, it was okay not to spend money, but Duhrin believed that as long as people walked in here, they would definitely spend money, and they would spend a lot of money.

Among the eight regions, except for this heavenly country, the other regions are basically related to money. For example, Angela's first introduction to the Valley of the Scarred, which is a place similar to the Colosseum. The Cult of the Earth God "recruited" a group of young and strong young people from other countries, and some of them were cultivated by the Cult itself. These young people don't need to worry about anything, all they need to do is have a strong physique and excellent cold weapon combat ability.

Every month, there will be at least twelve battles, and sometimes about twenty. The young men are dropped into a canyon-like place, where they have to face Gobi wolves, black-haired lions and even ferocious predators from elsewhere. Guests sit upright on top of the canyon, they can choose to do nothing and watch as the warriors tear all the cruel predators apart, or the predators tear the cowardly warriors apart, hence the name of this area is the Valley of the Rips, whoever tears whom.

Of course, there are also ways to play for a small amount of money, and the easiest way to play the same game is to bet on the level, and each warrior must face three levels. In the first level, there are three Gobi wolves, which are always half-full, and they will be treated a little bit before entering the canyon, and the cultists will stick one or more metal needles in their backs or necks. These metal needles are not thick, very thin, and not long, but after piercing the Gobi wolf's body, any movement of the Gobi wolf will bring pain, which will make the Gobi wolf irritable and more aggressive.

The first level is followed by the second level, which throws in a black-haired lion who has been hungry for two days, hungry enough to force the topmost predators of this western predator to treat everything that is alive as food. The ferocity of the black-haired lion is definitely not comparable to that of the Gobi wolf, and although some so-called well-known experts in biology have been calling on everyone not to feed the wild animals of the west, so as not to make these predators lose their hunting instincts, it is definitely a joke.

For predators, hunting is instinct, not a technique, and it is absolutely impossible to forget, especially after starving.

The third level is the wolf pack, where twelve Gobi wolves who have been hungry for three days will be thrown into the canyon to fight to the death with the warriors.

It may sound like humans can't defeat these animals, but while that's part of the truth, there are actually plenty of people who have managed to make it through. Their training for a long time is geared towards breaking through levels, and with enough equipment and a sharp sword, there will always be people who keep winning.

At this time, if you don't like watching it, you can pay for the fourth level to continue to escalate the battle. You can also buy some "supplies" for people to throw into the canyon, such as armor, spears, torches and even grenades.

It's an interesting place.

Durin also seems to have discovered how the Earth God Cult co-opted these people, and even controlled them to a limited extent.

He first went to the Sinking Room, a very ceremonial place, in a very large cave there were many small single rooms, each small single room was only about twenty square meters, there were some shelves in it, and there was nothing on it.

The moment Durin entered the room, a priest in white robes walked in, they were all the lowliest, but also the most pious.

"I sense the will of Mother Earth to serve you, what do you want to do?", the wide cloak and hood completely hid the priest, he hung his head, Durin couldn't see him, his voice sounded like he was about thirty years old.

Durin sat on the only couch in the room, Angela standing right behind him, "It's my first time playing a game like this, what can I do?"

"No, it's not a game, it's a feeling, it's a tempering of the heart. Mother Earth Goddess is merciful, and she knows that we who live in this filthy world have a lot of troubles, a lot of suffering, so she sent a decree for us to build this place. Here you can do whatever you want to do, vent all the resentment and unwillingness in your heart, as long as you can restore your mind to the maximum of the initial calm, which is what we should do. ”

In the face of this priest's explanation, Du Lin still didn't understand what was called initial calm, and how to vent all the negative emotions in his heart, he thought for a while and asked, "Then what should I do? To be specific, I'm not here to guess the riddle."

The priest was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Some people have a miserable childhood, they have been persecuted and even abused by some people, and this will become an obstacle in the process of their soul sublimation, and only by venting it thoroughly can this obstacle be removed. To help these guests, we have provided some 'people who have abused him' to release the fear, anger, hatred, and resentment in his heart. ”

"Someone has a certain obsession with money, but he doesn't have the qualifications to have too much money, and here we will provide enough cash to fill the room so that he can be very comfortable with endless money. ”

"Here, for the purity of the soul, we do our best to serve you!"

Durin chuckled, "What if I want to be emperor?"

After waiting for half an hour, Durin was guided into another cave by the priest, and when the light around him suddenly lit up, he was stunned to see everything here!

A large group, about a hundred "nobles" with serious faces and very well-dressed clothes, stood in a solemn palace, they were talking to each other, but when the light came on and Durin stepped into the palace, the "nobles" with exaggerated wigs and solemn expressions closest to him bent down to him, and gave aristocratic etiquette, all of them called "Your Majesty During". Two people who looked like they were acting as officials in the drama also ran over, and they were still about ten meters away from Durin, and they crawled on the ground with their hands and feet.

They dressed Durin in the Emperor's clothes and placed a scepter in his hand that was identical to the one used by the royal family in the Imperial Capital Museum.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting for a long time, and I would like to ask your Majesty to move to the throne. The magistrate bent over and pouted his butt and helped Durin to the throne on the steps, and with each step he took, some "nobles" who looked no different from the nobles would bend down and salute him, calling him Your Majesty. It wasn't until he sat on the throne and looked down at the nobles and ministers in the palace that he realized how terrible these people were. Although he knows that all this is fake, although he knows that all the people may be believers, even actors, but when they tell you about the good and bad things that are happening in the empire with serious expressions and aristocratic tones, it is as if they are really an emperor.

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty......"

The very serious and emotional title made Durin's heart tighten, and he realized that he seemed to have just started to "act" with this group of people, and he even expressed his opinion on some problems that seemed to be real.

"Your Majesty, there has been a drought in the southwest of the empire for many years, and this year's wheat harvest has failed, and there has been a famine and the situation is getting worse. A minister took the initiative to stand up, and his expression of concern for the country and the people really seemed to be like that.

The corners of Durin's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly said something that everyone didn't expect, "Famine?

This is simply a model of a faint king, the minister who played according to the script did not expect that the "emperor" would suddenly be so uncooperative, he looked up at Du Lin in amazement, and quickly bowed his head in confession. At this time, a nobleman who looked oily and powdery suddenly jumped out, used exaggerated body movements to match that somewhat funny tone, and stood between Du Lin and many ministers and nobles, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has made a decision, and this matter has been decided, and if there is news of famine before the end of the month, it will be your fault." ”

"Famine is because there is limited food but there are too many people to eat, so there will be famine, and if people are almost killed, there will be no famine. Although we have killed some people, we have also saved some people, whether they are alive or dead, they will understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts. He turned around and faced Du Lin, bent his waist with a flattering face, "Your Majesty is worthy of being the most wise and decisive emperor in a thousand years, and it is really remarkable that he came up with such a good solution at once." ”

Du Lin snorted, he felt that if he was really the emperor and really arranged it like this, it was very likely that he would not survive tonight and be killed by these ministers and nobles.

......

"Are you satisfied? Have you ever had the obsession in your heart gone?", when it was all over, the priest reappeared in the empty palace, still with his head bowed, standing at the bottom of the stairs, "If there is anything else you want to do, you can command me." ”

Durin was silent for a long time, and then asked faintly, "What if I want to kill someone?"
