Chapter 59: Grasp with both hands, both hands must be strong

 Population is growing, faith is gathering, and civilization is advancing.

 Everything in the pixel world is developing in a good direction.

However, Isabel was unusual and took the initiative to put forward her own opinions.

 “My lord, I request to enter the [Black Abyss] and fight for your beliefs.”

 Lu Yao was keenly aware of this.

 She is in mood.

 This is also a side effect of wisdom.

 The blood knight who is not very smart has no pressure in these aspects.

 No brains, no worries, life is simple and direct. He only obeyed orders. He would kill whomever Lu Yao told him to kill, and he would only kill more than less.

 Isabel is different. She shows a calm and collected attitude most of the time. But her basic thinking is no different from normal people.

 She has her own sense of dignity and honor, as well as her own judgments and ideas.

 Most of the time, she hid these personal wills in her heart and faithfully carried out the orders given to her by Lu Yao.

However, I don’t know why this time, Isabel seemed to have a little self-esteem.

Lu Yao thought that he had to find a tactful reason.

So he typed.

—It’s just a different division of labor. The rough blood knights can do this part.

Isabel knelt down on one knee and continued: "My lord, I know that my fighting ability is not as good as Naved. However, I am requesting to enter the abyss, not because I want to challenge those powerful opponents because I am overestimating my capabilities, but because there are other places where I can use my abilities."

“My lord, you are sitting in Saniro, the city of ghosts. There are already many ghosts gathered there, and the group belief is stable.”

“There are still some ghosts wandering outside the first layer of [Black Abyss]. Most of them are not low-level. But there are also weaker ghosts who are avoiding the prey of their powerful peers.”

“I want to try [Laying Prayer] to persuade them and bring them to Sanilo, so that I can provide you with more power of faith.”

Lu Yao looked a little ashamed.

mine.

Isabel didn't care about personal honor or loss at all, all she thought about was contributing to her own divine cause.

 This is a loyal minister who is dedicated to the public good!

-good. be safe.

 “Yes, my lord.”

Lu Yao used the key to open the entrance, and Isabel was able to enter the golden door of the [Black Abyss].

 He fixed his perspective on Isabel's head.

 As Isabel said, she was very careful in the abyss.

 Outside, LV26 Isabel summoned the Holy Sword and went to most places casually.

 At the [Level 1 of the Black Abyss], her level is not good enough. Even dealing with ordinary ghouls is extremely difficult, and she is in danger if she is accidentally surrounded.

Isabel keeps using [Dying Prayer] to find the dead who are willing to talk to her.

 On the other side, Blood Knight Nevid continued to fight with the ghouls.

 After resting and recovering the blood volume, the blood knight entered here again. Currently, his health bar has recovered to half, which is enough to deal with the minions on the periphery.

  After the death of Gurr, the corpse hunter, the number of ghouls did not decrease.

This made Lu Yao realize that Gur was just an elite monster leader on the periphery, and only controlled a part of the ghouls.

 Obviously, the big one is still inside.

Lu Yao then asked the blood knights to clear out the ghouls in this area and practice leveling.

 It is also easy to pay attention to the situation of the two apostles. Click on the temple and you will find the portraits of Isabel and Nevid, with real-time health bars below.

 This was also discovered by Lu Yao after some exploration.

 Once Isabelle or Nevid gets into battle, their portrait will be covered with a light red color, making their status easy to identify. Click on the avatar to jump directly to their location.

  There is no tutorial in the simulator, and Lu Yao is a single-player player, so he can only keep exploring. There are many inconveniences and twists and turns, but he has a good attitude and regards these as a kind of fun to explore the unknown.

 Half an hour later, Isabel had results.

“Sir, I have found a group of dead people who are willing to follow you and offer their faith.”

Lu Yao took a glance.

There are several ghosts floating around Isabel, the lowest level is LV8, and the highest level is LV16, called Dinar. These ghosts are headed by Dinar, who is also the only abyss ghost around who is willing to join Lu Yao.

 They are not ordinary humans, they bear the racial title of "Undersea Walkers".

The Sea Walker looks somewhat similar to the Corruptor, both showing an almost corpse-like state. The Corruptor's skin is light blue, while their body surface is dark blue.

Lu Yao clicked on the detailed panel of dinar.

 …

  【Undersea Walker Lv16】Dinar

 Attack 6 Defense 9 Knowledge 14 Mana 14 Luck 1 Morale 1

【ability】

 Water element: Can continuously recover health points in water, and attacks will cause water element damage.

 Evasion LV5: Can avoid damage caused by some attacks. Compared with his own weak life, this probability is higher.

 …

 The panel is mediocre.

However, Lu Yao paid more attention to the portrait of Dinar.

Dinar's dark blue chest has two rows of long strips of gills, its limbs are long, and its hands and feet are webbed.

 He has a pair of beast-like eyes, with large white eyes and small black pupils. In the vertical painting, Dinar is kneeling on the ground, worshiping towards a vague building in the distance.

 There is also a personal motto under the vertical painting.

—The glory of the past has sunk into the abyss. We must do everything we can to survive. Even if we lose everything, there is still hope as long as we are alive.

Lu Yao gave Isabel the care of these underwater wanderer ghosts.

 Now, he had to focus on another, more important matter.

 The golden leaves appear on the screen again, this time floating below the population and beliefs in the upper right.

 Lu Yao clicked on the leaves.

 Displayed on the screen.

　　【The spirit of the forest has awakened the Tree of Sylvanus, please go and pick the treasures on the Tree of Sylvanus. 】

Lu Yao immediately dragged the mouse and returned to the [Golden Field] in the castle.

 The leaders have a good saying.



 【Golden Fields】and 【Black Abyss】, neither one can be missing, I want them all!

The giant tree reaching the sky appears again in the golden field.

 The stars twinkled among the dense green leaves of the branches.

 Lu Yao clicked on the tree.

Two cards with props printed on them flew out of the tree.

 A tall tower building named [Stone Totem].

 A sculpture of a white horse, called [Ghost White Horse].

 …

  【Boulder Totem LV2】：

 Health: 1000/1000

  Damage: 24

 Defense: 12

 Speed: 10

  【Totem】

 Choose an area for permanent placement, and automatically attack all his believers within the range.

 …

 Seeing the description of this huge stone totem, Lu Yao would be lying if he said he was not tempted. This totem turret is very suitable as a defensive gate, based on which a whole set of defense lines can be built.

 But he had second thoughts.

There seems to be no need to put up any defensive lines in this broken world. The attacks are almost all initiated by oneself, and no other force can attack them.

At best, two trainee **** players can only fight with each other with faith, so they are not afraid of it either.

 Offense is the best defense, Lu Yao agrees with this.

 So he turned his attention to the next one.

 After just one glance at the description, he immediately decided: It’s you!

 …

 【Ghost White Horse LV5】: Faith +1/hour, defense +10, speed +20, health +200, not restricted by terrain. Calling the spirit of the white horse can activate [Advanced Camouflage LV5].

 …

PS: I would like to explain to readers that I have been having a lot of trouble lately. I can see your comments and chapter comments in the backend of the Writer Assistant, but they are not displayed in the book reading client. All content after the 14th has been temporarily blocked, and it will probably take some time before they are released.

By the way, I’m asking for a vote today, Monday. Any vote will do!
