Chapter 7 Apostle of the Old God

 In the God Simulator, there is no detailed description of this pixel world, nor is it given all the maps and various data. Players as gods have to explore step by step.

The last time a black bear attacked the tribe, Lu Yao really thought it was a wild animal attack. It was only after the prophet checked the body later that he identified his true identity as a devil believer.

To a certain extent, Lu Yao doesn’t know any more than these pixelated people.

He just has a "player" identity that pixel villains cannot understand. He is a bit like an alien **** who has descended into the pixel world.

 Foreign gods…

Lu Yao thought immediately.

 Since there are foreign gods like myself, it is very likely that there are also local gods in the pixel world.

He looked at the [Energy Cane] in his hand and the [Cactus Follower] dormant in a small flowerpot nearby. Both of these magical treasures originally belonged to the God of the Forest. The temple shows that the God of the Forest has fallen, so the treasures held by him will be released.

Are gods like the Forest God the old gods?

 It’s a pity that no one can answer his question.

Lu Yao thought for a while and made a decision.

Change!

Although wheat is valuable, it is difficult for the Garlic tribe, which is allied with the forest tribe, to monopolize this food. Rather than risk being cheated of wheat, it's better to make an open deal now.

 Lu Yaodian【Yes】.

 A lightbulb went on over the prophet's head.

“God, your servant knows what to do.”

 He immediately started a private chat with the shaman next to him.

 The tribal leaders of both sides quickly reached an agreement, and the heads of the forest tribe’s pixelated figures all had smiling faces.

 “The shaman got the wheat!”

 “The **** Yao gave the tribe food!”

 “Great, no need to be afraid of winter!”

 “The great **** Yao, the wise shaman!”

 Then, the little people from the forest tribe carried a sarcophagus out of the forest. They carried the sarcophagus all the way outside the temple of the Garlic Tribe, and then the people of the Garlic Tribe took it into the temple.

 The temple interface suddenly had a gray sarcophagus icon named [Apostle].

 Lu Yao clicked [Apostle].

 A vertical painting appeared on the screen. In the picture, a woman with her eyes covered by black cloth lies in a gray coffin.

There were small cracks on her cheeks, and her body seemed to be sealed inside with plaster. The gray rock body and the sarcophagus were almost integrated into one body. If it weren't for the softness of the girl's face, it would be no different from a stone sculpture.

 …

 【Apostle】: On the verge of death.

 Apostle of the God of the Forest. Apostles implement the will and orders of the gods, listen to the voices of the gods, and are the carriers of the gods’ descent into the world.

 …

According to the above description, this apostle seems to be a unit that the **** player can directly control?

But it’s not easy to wake her up.

 Lu Yao clicked [Apostle] and got a prompt.

 —Converting it to resurrection into an Apostle of your temple requires a large amount of Faith Power. Do you need to spend 500 faith points to convert to an apostle?

 According to the faith consumption of the miracle, one lightning bolt has 20 faith, which is equivalent to the apostle’s value of 25 lightning bolts. He simply cannot afford this level of faith expenditure at the moment.

 Lu Yao could only put aside the apostle matter for the time being and continue to work on the basics of development.

He thought about whether this dying apostle was still a subordinate of the forest god.

Considering that the [Energy Cane] was dug out of the forest by the prophet, the [Cactus Follower] sent by the forest tribe also came from the temple of the forest god, and the dying apostle was also dug out of the ground. It seems that this forest has some kind of relationship with the forest god.

It's a pity that I can't talk to the pixel villain, there is no option to ask questions, and I can't find any clues.

Lu Yao returned his attention to the construction of the tribe.

 He moved one of the Pigfish brothers to the river and the other to the forest. One of them was a fisherman and the other was a hunter, so they each showed their talents.

 Soon the two heroes gave feedback.

“Places with many fish in the river are in deep water areas and require boats. Tribes need to build boats in order to fish.”

“Medicine was found in the forest. There were animal chew marks and blood stains on it, but it was difficult to identify. It requires a pharmacist to identify it.”

 The resources are there, but there is a lack of professionals who can identify and use them.

Lu Yao knew that there was no rush, so he relaxed and watched.

 He found two hard-frozen corns in the refrigerator and cooked them in a pot for dinner.

Nibbling on warm, soft corn, Lu Yao watched the little tribesmen going about their business, as if he had returned to his childhood to watch the ants on the ground, where he was simply happy, but there was no other kind of fun.

 Soon, snow began to fall in the pixel world, and winter came.

 Except for the two heroes, the Pig Fish Brothers, the pixel villains from the Garlic Tribe who went out have returned one after another, and everyone is hiding in the house to keep warm. During the short day, they collected branches from everywhere to use as firewood and cleared the snow around the temple and farmland.

 Fortunately, wheat had been planted very early, and the harvest in the wheat fields provided the tribe with a lot of food. Facing the cold winter, the little pixel people are not afraid at all.

 “We have wheat, enough food, and the house is warm.”

 “Wheat, the power of wheat!”

“Winter looks like it will be long. Fortunately, with the wheat and garlic gifted by God, no one will starve to death this winter.”

The little pixel people in the tribe have happy emoticons on their heads.

 At this time, the forest tribe suddenly came to visit.

 Different from doing transactions in the past, this time the visit was led by a shaman with a high status in person. The Prophet greeted them and lit a bonfire among the snowdrifts to warm himself with his visiting allies.

The shaman has an anxious emoticon above his head.

“Friends of the Garlic Tribe, we have encountered difficulties that cannot be solved, and we ask for your help.”

“Twenty hunters from the forest tribe, who are also the best hunters in the tribe, entered the depths of the forest for one last hunt to prepare for the winter. The heavy snow falling from the mountains buried them in the northern part of the forest, and we could not find them.”

“Only the power of the gods can save them.”

"Ask the omnipotent God Yao in the temple to have mercy on these hunters who are looking for food and give them protection. If we can help these compatriots survive, we will build a temple in the tribe to worship God Yao and offer sacrifices and the loyalty of our tribe. .”

 An exclamation mark appeared above the prophet's head.

He said: "Since you want to pray for the blessings of the gods, then go to the temple to worship God Yao. Only the most pious and honest requests can get the mercy and gifts of the gods."

So the shaman brought the tribesmen to worship around the temple.

Lu Yao thought about it for a while.

According to the shaman, if these people can be found, a temple can be built in the forest tribe. This is equivalent to being able to grant gifts to two tribes at the same time. Wouldn’t it be possible to obtain sacrifices from both tribes?

But what should be done to save these hunters trapped in the heavy snow?

 Lu Yao thought of the [Scorching Sun] in Miracle.

 This miracle, which requires 25 points of faith to unfold, should be able to melt the heavy snow.

He selected [Scorching Sun], expanded the area as wide as possible in the northernmost area of ​​the forest that was accessible on the game interface, and then clicked the mouse.

 A brilliant golden light appeared in the sky above the northern part of the forest. The thick white snow in the forest quickly dissipated, revealing many trembling little people lying on the ground.

 The kneeling shaman had an exclamation mark above his head.

“Great god, the forest tribes are sincerely grateful for your kindness. We have no doubt about your power, and we will immediately build a temple to honor you!”

Then the shaman sent out a group of villains and quickly moved toward the north of the forest where the snow had melted. Soon they found the missing hunters.

As the shaman promised, the forest tribe also built a temple. The temple is made of wood and mimics the appearance of the White Temple.

 Lu Yao was a little disappointed that there was no change in the temple interface, and his plan to double gifts and sacrifices did not come true.

 But there are also gains.

　　　【Your miracles have turned the forest tribe's attitude into worship. 】

  【Because they worship the same gods, the forest tribe is merging with the garlic tribe. 】

Lu Yao was refreshed.

If more than a hundred people from the forest tribe can be merged, it will definitely be a huge improvement.

 That’s more than 100 faith points!

 The increase in population will also expand the boundaries of the temple's radiation. With more manpower, more random events can be triggered.

 The current consumption of faith is exchanged for long-term sustained gains.

win!
