Chapter 702 -398: Troublesome Guy is Here (First Update)_2

As dusk approached, the already dim skies darkened further, and eerie sounds echoed from all around. Large eyes began to flutter across the sky, occasionally pausing out of curiosity to observe the three people below.

These eyes were the Demon King’s spies, though these creatures weren’t aggressive and provided little benefit when killed.

Moreover, with their numbers being so great, neither players nor Dave expressed any interest in them, letting them be.

If it hadn’t been for the Holy Knight’s own code of conduct and the players’ inability to engage in excessive gameplay, Wang believed they might have used these

Realizing it was getting late, Wang took out a match and lit it, tossing it into the campfire that Dave had already prepared.

This was a magical item classified as a material resource, the “Camp Match.”

During its burning, the item wouldn’t consume wood but would instead continuously produce it, forming a large bonfire until the match’s anomalous nature ceased, returning it to a normal campfire.

With this object, making a fire outdoors was no longer a troublesome task.

Sitting by the campfire, Idiotic Divine shared some of his white bread, while Wang took out a cube of soup concentrate and dissolved it in water.

These soup cubes contained a high amount of energy and fats and could turn into a thick soup once the bread was soaked in it, able to sustain a person for a prolonged period after eating.

Cradling his own bowl, Dave leaned over to Wang and asked, “Old Mister…”

“Just call me Wang,” Wang said.

“Alright, Mister Wang, I want to know, what exactly are you here for? From our observation, you seem to have appeared out of nowhere, and we know nothing about your origins.”

“So you think I’m a minion of the Demon King?”

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Dave took a bite of his bread soaked in thick soup, hesitating before saying, “Doesn’t seem like it. The Demon King’s minions can’t communicate with us. Some of them look just like us, but their essence is something beyond our comprehension. However, you can communicate, so I don’t think you are one.”

“Well, there you go.”

Dave stirred his milky soup with a troubled look, “But the Bishop says you are, and we must obey the Bishop’s orders.”

“Why?” Wang asked curiously.

“There’s no why, it’s our duty. To stand against the Demon King, we need a powerful and capable leader, and that is the Bishop of each country. They can hear the voice of the Gods and every one of them is a strong Magician, most qualified to resist the Demon King.”

These were the most basic facts of this world, but amidst this information, Wang also gleaned some secrets of this world.

Survival is never easy anywhere, especially in this world.

The invasion of the Demons led this world to fall continuously, with human settlements shrinking steadily. The only four remaining countries had to huddle in a narrow space, unite with each other, and jointly battle the erosion of the Demon King.

In such a situation, the whole society naturally transformed into a theocracy, and the Bishops, as spokespersons for the various Gods, naturally possessed supreme power.

Ordinary people like Dave and Idiotic Divine were no longer seen as human; they were like living currency, being spent in the war between humanity and the Demon King.

Through his conversation with Dave, Wang felt that the issues of this world were even more troublesome than he had previously thought.

Survival had reached such a point of difficulty that there was hardly a solution for anything.

However, unlike Wang’s despair, Dave and Idiotic Divine seemed quite optimistic.

Noticing Wang’s worried expression upon learning this, Dave said earnestly, “Wang, you don’t need to be like this, we will definitely be victorious.”

“Oh, is there a mastermind at work?”

“No, it’s just that the Bishop said so.”

“…Forget I asked. There’s really no talking with you religious zealots.”

All the way, Wang kept pondering and considering what he should do, but could not come up with a good plan.

In the end, it was a viewer from a live stream who hit the nail on the head:

[Wang, just follow the plot, okay? Don’t let your thoughts wander so much.]

“Seriously, don’t get so immersed, it’s starting to affect your pranks.”

It was a line that woke Wang up from his dream, like a sudden epiphany, making him realize his thought process had gone awry.

It was obviously just a plot point, after reaching the destination he just had to follow his heart and make a choice that seemed right to him.

After all, it was a card game with infinite loops, no need to fuss over a single round’s gains and losses.

Once he figured it out, Wang immediately looked into the distance, anticipating the upcoming plot.

Seeing Wang’s mood shift in a second, Dave asked in a lower voice, “Mr. Wang’s mood swings are kind of abrupt. Is he not some weird creature?”

“You haven’t seen the one who wanted to hit me one second, and marry me the next,” replied the Idiotic Divine nonchalantly.

Dave gave the Idiotic Divine a once-over and concluded that, aside from being odd, they also seemed to lack taste.

Why would anyone want to hit such an adorable Priest?

Even with Dave leading the way, the journey afterward took quite a long time for everyone.

By the time they finally reached the border of the Dark Forest, Wang felt like he was starving to death.

“Damn, this place is hard to navigate. I must build a safe house here; otherwise, I’ll be in trouble later on.”

After planting a seed into a hidden area, Wang watched it take root and sprout amongst the rocks, a concealed cabin beginning to form.

The safe house was very hard to notice, but if one was a player, they would be able to see a white light’s fingerprint as they approached the safe house, allowing them to quickly find a nearby safe haven.

However, just having a safe house wasn’t enough. If there wasn’t a Priest to help control the rituals, players still wouldn’t be able to choose this place as their spawn point.

Looking at the Idiotic Divine who had come with him, Wang hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Idiotic Divine, can you stay here for a few days? Not too long, just until we figure out what’s going on here?”

The Idiotic Divine glanced at Wang and then at Dave.

If she considered her own role, she should decisively reject Wang’s proposal, follow Dave back immediately, meet her demise, and let her soul ascend to become a more precious currency in the hands of the Gods.

However, after spending some time together, she felt that Wang was not the Demon the Bishop had described.

These Angel Envoys from the Different World might be quirky, maybe even pervy, but they were curious about everything here and kept feeding the poor Priest.

When they found they couldn’t go any further, they would even lay down all their supplies and venture into the darkness alone. Their spirit of selfless sacrifice made the Idiotic Divine feel that, at times, they were the most despicable scoundrels, and at times, devout believers.

After contemplating with her eyes closed for a while, the Idiotic Divine let out a long sigh and made her decision at that moment.

“I will help out here for a while, so you guys can keep being summoned over. Mr. Wang, I choose to trust you, not only because of the qualities you have shown, but also because I believe you have reasons to be trusted,” she said.

“Thank you.”

Having thanked the Idiotic Divine, Wang continued towards the frontier with Dave.

Behind him, it took a long time for the Idiotic Divine to stand still before she returned to the safe house.

Sitting in the chair of the safe house, the Idiotic Divine felt she might have made a mistake.

Yet, she completed the drawing of the Array for the ritual and then sat aside, ready to doze off.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she noticed the Array light up, someone emerging from it.

With eyes still closed, the Idiotic Divine said, “Wang, did you die so quickly?”

“Who’s Wang, I am Xiemen Waidao. What is this place, and why did I spawn here the moment I logged on?”

Opening her eyes, the Idiotic Divine shivered a bit as she saw Xiemen Waidao appear before her.

The most troublesome guy had arrived.
