Chapter 1099 - 643: Version 3.0 Arrives Soon
"I remember the Dawn Church has a presence in Danerluo Port. They also preach there, although they don’t hold the dominant position like in Bright City."
Zhao Zhao looked curiously at the elite team of the Dawn Church not far away and said with some curiosity:
"I remember the Dawn Church came to Danerluo Port with Lis. Wasn’t it then that they started preaching here?"
But soon, the members of Embers of the Fire noticed that this team from the Dawn Church wasn’t heading towards the Dawn Church’s cathedral in Danerluo Port but was instead heading towards the lord’s castle on the west side.
"What’s going on here?"
Mo Yun noticed this difference and said somewhat strangely.
They saw that the direction from which the Dawn Church’s team came was the great northern road of the city, which logically should have just passed through the space portal established by Lis between Bright City and Danerluo Port.
If that were the case, wanting to go directly to the lord’s castle wouldn’t require entering the city; they could go directly from outside the city, so why specifically make a detour around Danerluo Port?
"Did the Dawn Church do this on purpose?"
Zhao Zhao pondered for a moment and murmured softly.
"What’s the use of doing such a thing?"
Mo Yun looked at Zhao Zhao with some confusion and asked.
"I’m not sure either. Maybe it’s to show the relationship between the Dawn Church and Lis Kain to the outside world, or perhaps it’s meant to be seen by the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Church of the Storm Lord?"
Zhao Zhao speculated aloud.
In fact, the lead churches of the gods in Danerluo Port, as well as the now disappeared Boditch Kingdom, were the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Church of the Storm Lord.
The Dawn Church was an outsider that also wanted to spread the faith of the Lord of Dawn and cultivate followers of the Dawn Church on this land.
Although all three belong to True God Churches, it’s inevitable that there is competition between them for followers and faith. The rivalry is at most limited to a suitable level, not escalating to direct confrontation between the churches.
In fact, the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Church of the Storm Lord have always been in a disadvantaged position in competition with the Dawn Church, mainly because the Boditch Royal Family, supported by both churches, was ineffective and was easily defeated by the Feis Kingdom.
Feis Kingdom is the most supported Human Kingdom by the Dawn Church on the Fanor Continent, naturally taking this opportunity to intervene in the land that originally belonged to the Boditch Kingdom.
Players are quite aware of the competition between the three churches since it counts as an important side mission in Danerluo Port, and players often receive generously rewarding tasks from the three churches, usually set against the backdrop of open and covert struggles between the churches.
Zhao Zhao, having more delicate thoughts, could naturally grasp this point, but he wasn’t quite clear about why the Dawn Church was acting this way.
Because if it were just to send a regular team of Divine Officers to Danerluo Port, such ostentatious displays would greatly provoke the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Church of the Storm Lord, directly escalating tensions between the two sides.
Unless the Dawn Church is very sure that the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Church of the Storm Lord will stay put and won’t actively retaliate.
No matter the possibility, this is certainly a sign of a new mission!
Zhao Zhao didn’t hesitate and quickly called his team to follow along.
This solemn and holy procession of Divine Officers slowly made their way through the bustling port city, their steps firm and harmonious, each one seeming to be accompanied by sacred hymns.
At the forefront of the procession were mighty paladins, whose eyes burned with unwavering resolve against evil, yet were gentle and caring towards the weak. They wore armor that shimmered with platinum brilliance, engraved with the Holy Emblem of the God of Dawn, seemingly infused with endless Strength and Justice.
Following behind were more gentle-faced priests. They wore platinum-colored divine clothing that was more flowing and gracefully danced in the wind, like messengers walking in the Dawn Light. The priests’ faces radiated benevolence and tranquility; their gaze seemed to penetrate the fog of the mind, offering the most direct comfort and guidance.
Especially the amiable elder walking at the forefront of the priests, with eyes old yet incredibly bright. He held a holy scripture emitting a faint glow, and as he passed each place, the air was filled with a warm and Healing atmosphere.
The sunlight gradually became brilliant, shining upon this procession of Divine Officers, making their platinum-colored divine clothing even more dazzling, as if draped in a layer of holy radiance.
This radiance illuminated not only the streets but also people’s hearts.
The residents of Danerluo Port paused, watching the procession ahead, with an indescribable warmth and peace rising in their hearts.
Curiously, as the procession of the Dawn Church passed by, many people at that moment felt their physical pain inexplicably ease greatly, and their spiritual wounds also seemed to receive solace.
Elderly people wiped away their tears, children ceased their crying, and even those who usually wore gloomy expressions showed a long-lost smile.
This warmth, coming from the depths of their hearts, was like the God of Dawn himself descending, granting them endless hope and Strength.
More and more people involuntarily knelt down, clasped their hands together, and devoutly prayed for the Guardian of the God of Dawn.
The following Zhao Zhao and his team naturally noticed this anomaly, and their feelings were even more pronounced.
Because a new status prompt appeared on their system panel.
