Today's goal is to open the sluice gate and drain all the water from the Little Londo Ruins.

Tusi planned today's mission in his mind and thought again about the exploration of the Little Londo Ruins.

In the intelligence summarized by the rebel army, the Little Londo Ruins are directly linked to the "Soul-sucking Ghost" and "Abyss" with arrows.

After all, whether it's the painting world themed around the Soul-sucking Ghost, the pitch-black Great Snake, or the background story of Little Londo, the presence of the Abyss is quite strong, impossible to ignore.

This gives the exploration activities a direction, which is much better than aimless wandering.

It's said that after hearing the Dark Great Snake's words, many Starfire Knights immediately abandoned their plans to continue conquering the Sain Ancient City and turned directly into the Little Londo Ruins.

Tusi was delighted with this situation. After mentioning it to Hevi, he cheerfully formed an alliance with these Starfire Knights.

At this moment, his team included not only the Dark Moon Sword but also the Sun Warriors. Just looking at the titles, it seemed like a return to ancient times, and this small team's power should not be underestimated.

Therefore, he was full of confidence in this exploration!

However, some unexpected issues still arose.

"Ha..."

Tusi couldn't help but yawn, which was unstoppable, leading him to yawn several more times, finally holding it back with great effort.

Looking closer, one could see the dark circles under his eyes becoming so heavy they were about to turn into black holes.

Not only him, but even some among the Dark Moon Sword also sported dark circles, looking excessively fatigued, much like the exploited corporate workers.

But no one can exploit the Dark Moon Sword unless they exploit themselves.

In fact, the root cause of their panda-like dark circles was the recent trend in Hepa Town—reaching out and supporting an Oath Taker from the Sain Dungeon.

Since Hepa Town distanced itself from the frontlines, becoming more stable, the people arriving there were no longer all rebel army soldiers, leading to the appearance of individuals with random identities. The movement of people made Hepa Town seem as if it had detached from the war, starting to function like a normal city.

The majority of these newcomers were Scameroon people, and it's well-known that when Scameroon people gather together, they exhibit their innate traditional talents.

Founding a religion!

However, when the first fool to spread their self-created faith in Hepa Town was punished by the rebel army, these religious zealots finally realized that playing around during wartime could indeed lead to an Iron Fist crackdown.

So they quieted down for a while until not long ago, some items taken from the Sain Dungeon stirred their restless hearts again.

It was the emergence of painting worlds themed around various oaths.

Each painting world showcased the corresponding oath, highlighting its appealing traits.

Whether it's the kindness of the Sun Warriors, the stress-relieving slaughters of the Soul-sucking Ghosts, the widespread reach of the White Church, or the beautiful monarchs of the Dark Moon Sword, each has its points of attraction.

Even with Gong Qiying rarely using potent hypnosis magic for indoctrination, there were still those who developed an appreciation for certain oaths after the spread of these painting worlds.

Moreover, the stationed rebel army, while consisting of people from various churches, was mainly supported by the Starfire Church in favor of the Sain Dungeon, making the spread of these painting worlds rather smooth.

Even the Starfire Church officially used the painting world themed around the Sun Warriors to recruit newcomers, with the Sun Altar nearly being the second nearest oath establishment place to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, naturally having an advantage in preaching.

Thus, in this battle where each church within the rebel army sees outsider adventurers as potential reserve believers, the development of the Starfire Church has been smooth sailing.

So, when it comes to the painting worlds, they're not likely to suppress them unless something unexpected happens.

Consequently, those genuine old Scameroon people began setting their sights on the oaths within the Sain Dungeon.

The currently appearing oath-themed painting worlds, neither too many nor too few, aside from the long-discussed trio of Sun Warriors, Soul-sucking Ghosts, and Dark Moon Sword, also include the White Church, Tomb King's followers, and Servants of Chaos.

"The White Church has been spreading quite widely lately," Tusi muttered to himself, "but there's no need to worry; most people establishing oaths are just doing it for convenience."

The White Church, a sect worshiping the Main God Lloyd, which no one had heard of but was said to be ancient, seemingly doesn't have any special requirements for oath takers nor offers any special benefits.

The number of people establishing this oath has recently increased purely because it's the closest to the Fire Transmission Ceremony. One simply needs to find the chubby clergy stationed at the ceremony site to establish an oath without paying any price.

They can even get a free [White Church Ring] from the chubby clergy Petrus, which automatically summons fellow White Church Oath Takers for assistance during invasions, prioritizes one's own summoned creatures to appear, and, most importantly, reduces the chance of being invaded.

That's how the function is described.

But when it comes to implementation, everything still depends on the arrangements in the Sain Dungeon.
