Chapter 1104
Griffin
"Is this the power of the Church of the Blazing Sun? It's terrifying! They managed to kill so many griffins with a danger level of B in such a short time."
"So many burning griffins! This is a feast of roasted griffins."
"If I hadn't heard that the meat of these griffins is particularly unpalatable, I would have liked to try it myself. The barbecue smells so good!"
"Brother, these griffins have been heavily polluted by the industrial zone, and their bodies are full of toxins. Are you sure you want to try them? The taste is almost as bad as Jin Ke La (a type of fertilizer)!"
"Holy crap, is that how it is? Then I think I'll give up. I shouldn't try something that's only for warriors."
"You're just talking nonsense. Griffin meat is so bad that it's on the list of the most bizarrely bad-tasting foods."
"Yes, griffin meat is extremely unpalatable. Even gluttons wouldn't want to eat it, let alone our players, who are practically all gourmet connoisseurs. They absolutely cannot stand it."
"Let's get back to the Church of the Sun. Their strength is really impressive. It feels like after these waves of raids on the Joker's lair, the Church of the Sun's foundation has become even richer."
"Of course. It's said that there are plenty of good things in the clown's lair. Just a small portion would be enough to eat for a long time. Not to mention, the Church of the Blazing Sun has raided more than just one or two clown lairs. The clown's special items are all good stuff. You just need to offer them as sacrifices to the Lord of the Blazing Sun to receive divine gifts from the Church of the Blazing Sun."
"Wow! So the Church of the Blazing Sun is backed by the Lord of the Blazing Sun and has so many resources! All we have to do is offer sacrifices to get so many things!"
"That's for sure. Otherwise, why do you think so many players are scrambling to join the Church of the Sun? It's simply because the Church of the Sun offers so many benefits. With so many advantages, of course countless people want to join."
"What's more, joining the Church of the Sun means fighting alongside the Dawn Saintess, which is such an honor for most players. If I had known this earlier, I would have joined the Church of the Sun too."
"In the early days, it might have been relatively easy, but now the standards for recruiting at the Church of the Sun are much higher than before. Dawn's position in the Church of the Sun has been completely established, so there is no shortage of people now."
"Sigh, I still want to join the Church of the Blazing Sun. It seems that this matter is not so easy after all!"
The players behind witnessed the power of the Sun Church and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
After all, the strength of the Church of the Blazing Sun is indeed growing stronger and stronger!
Players will need to exert all their strength to even catch a glimpse of the Sun Church and find out exactly where it is.
now.
Witnessing firsthand the Sun Church's ability to sweep through these low-level dungeons is simply outrageous!
So many griffins, all burned to ashes in just one fire!
A pungent smell wafted through the air.
This pungent smell is the odor emitted from the toxins within the griffin's body, which are being burned by the sacred flames, causing the pollutants to decompose.
This smell is not very pleasant.
It smells somewhat similar to barbecue...
But the taste after roasting is like that of rotten food, similar to the smell of fertilizer, which is nauseating.
Many players from the rear arrived at this misty battlefield, and upon smelling the charred griffins, they couldn't help but pinch their noses and start cursing:
"My God, how did they cook these griffins? Why do they smell so awful after they're roasted?!"
"Who was it that said they wanted to eat a griffin? Please move forward and show off your tongue skills!"
"I'm sorry, I was too naive. I apologize to everyone. I have absolutely no interest in griffins now!"
"As a glutton who eats everything, this is the first time I've encountered food that my whole body resists. The taste of this meat is so disgusting that I can't eat it at all. Even a glutton can't digest this stuff."
"Nonsense! Look at these griffins! They live in industrial areas year-round. The pollution here is so severe. If someone were to eat these things... they would truly be a hero!"
"Even spiders aren't this awful!"
"Uh, let's forget about it. It's all awful stuff. I don't know who would be interested in this kind of food."
"Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in it."
"Yes, you can't just eat anything. Illness can enter through the mouth and disaster can come from what you eat!"
By this time, the Church of the Blazing Sun had completed its cleanup of the griffins. However, after a short period of time, the ground was covered with charred griffin carcasses, emitting a pungent stench that was extremely disgusting.
"Report! One hundred and fifty [Griffin Hearts] have been discovered and have already been stored in the Qiankun Bag!"
A player-controlled Sun Judge counted the loot on the ground, brought it back, and reported it to Dawn.
“Not bad.” Dawn nodded uncontrollably. “This harvest is quite substantial. When we get back, we’ll offer these Griffin Hearts to the Lord of the Sun. All the players who participated in this Griffin Slaughter mission will have their merit points calculated separately. They can exchange them for relics and items at the Church of the Sun later.”
"Yes!"
The player nodded.
Subsequently,
He called to the other players, and together they picked up the [Griffin Hearts].
The bishops of the Blazing Sun had absolutely no interest in such things; their level of contamination was far too high. Even if they were to retrieve them, they would be useless and offer them virtually no benefit.
But Chenxi clearly didn't think so.
The higher the tier of the special items that drop, the greater the reward for sacrificing them to the Lord of the Sun.
After all, the Lord of the Blazing Sun accepts all special items without hesitation.
But considering the mindset of those old fogies in the church...
However, they do not think so.
They unanimously agreed that if any offerings were to be made to the Lord of the Sun, they must be sacred items to be worthy of the sacrifice. However, this would clearly drain the church's resources to support the Lord of the Sun, which completely contradicted the Lord of the Sun's original wishes.
The Lord of the Blazing Sun naturally hopes that his followers can slay more corruption and darkness. The sacrifices are all enemy heads, so that merits can be calculated.
Therefore, the Lord of the Sun does not accept any items offered as sacrifices inside the Church of the Sun. However, this ritual is highly praised by the bishops, who believe that this is how sacrifices should be performed.
But in reality, what the Lord of the Sun likes might be somewhat different from what these bishops think...
You must understand that he is the Lord of the Blazing Sun. How could he lack spoils from the Blazing Sun Sequence? Handing over these things would be like adding flowers to brocade, offering absolutely no benefit.
But if it's about handing in items with polluting properties...
On the contrary, it suited the taste of the Lord of Blazing Sun.
after all.
These contaminants all come from hostile forces. Handing over these spoils of war is like handing over enemy heads on the battlefield; of course, it will earn you more favor from the general.
Therefore, Dawn knew that this time, she would definitely have to hand over all the hearts of these griffins to the Lord of the Blazing Sun.
The more she submitted her reports, the more she realized how erroneous the previous church had been.
Each time a sacrifice is performed...
They took out a bunch of good things from the Sun Chapel from the warehouse and handed them over to the Lord of Sun, essentially entrusting these items to the Lord for safekeeping.
right now,
It is necessary to repeatedly sacrifice items with properties unrelated to the blazing sun to replenish the previous foundation.
Moreover, Chenxi strongly suspected that these rigid rules might have been created by the very group of people who wanted to ruin the Church of the Blazing Sun. They were squandering the Church of the Blazing Sun's resources, turning a once top-tier power into one that couldn't even produce any decent class-changing items. If Chenxi hadn't personally reorganized the Church of the Blazing Sun, regained control of the rules, and overpowered those rigid old men, the Church of the Blazing Sun might not even be able to produce ten sixth-tier combatants now.
With the help of Dawn, Bishop El-Melloi's strength has also reached the sixth level, and he is very close to the seventh level.
Given Bishop El-Melloi's talent, he shouldn't have been stuck at the fifth rank for such a long time. It's entirely because the Church is unwilling to allocate resources. Therefore, during this period, Dawn has been standing with Bishop El-Melloi, suppressing the other bishops, and firmly grasping the core resources of the Sun Church in their own hands.
Even though there were some dissenting voices, no one dared to refute the Saintess of the Fiery Sun, who had already reached the sixth level of enlightenment, combined with Archbishop El-Melloi's opinion.
After reaching the sixth level, El-Melloi's wisdom was developed, and he also realized that Dawn's actions were undoubtedly the most correct for the Church of the Sun.
Therefore, nowadays, whenever Dawn makes a reasonable request, Bishop El-Mello will generally second Dawn's proposal and require his subordinates to vote in favor of the decision.
Whenever such disagreements arise within the Church of the Blazing Sun, a vote is required to either veto or pass the resolution. Only those at the level of bishop can participate in the vote.
Therefore, inside the Church of the Fiery Sun, Dawn pushed a group of bishops who were players onto the stage, trying to make them stronger as quickly as possible.
These players are the confidants of Dawn, believers in the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Sun, and basically all fawn over Dawn. No matter what she asks for, even if it means going through fire and water, they will do it without hesitation.
Gradually, several more player bishops have taken on the role within the Church of the Sunfire. Combined with the bishops previously under El-Melloi's jurisdiction, Dawn's prestige within the Church of the Sunfire has grown steadily, reaching a point where she is now capable of serving as a leader.
Once it's a decision made by Dawn, very few people within the church will object.
Even the former opposition faction, and the faction that stood against Dawn, now realize that the situation has changed and have no choice but to switch sides to Dawn.
Therefore, the transformation of the Lieyang Church in such a short period of time owes much to Chenxi.
at this time.
On the battlefield, there were numerous griffin corpses, from which the [Griffin Heart] had been dropped, lying across the ground.
The solo players behind them, seeing this scene, immediately became restless.
To know.
Any griffin that has reached the fourth job advancement level will have no problem advancing to the fourth job advancement level with the special items it drops. They are definitely good stuff!
Therefore, the members of the Church of the Blazing Sun immediately began collecting the Hearts of the Griffins on the ground.
However, the players behind them were not complacent. They knew that at this time, they could sneak in and loot some [Griffin Hearts] without being discovered!
Sachiko, a clergy member of the Sun Chapel, is currently a third-tier Sun Sister. When she tried to pick up the Heart of the Griffin from the ground, a shadow suddenly flashed past and snatched the Heart of the Griffin from her hand.
The Sun Maiden's eyes widened immediately as she stared ahead, her voice filled with resentment as she said:
"Who are you people? How dare you steal our spoils from the Sun Chapel? This is outrageous!"
The shadow in the depths sighed and said:
"We apologize, we didn't mean to rob, but we were indeed lacking some special items and wanted to make a profit. This robbery was wrong. We will help the Church of the Blazing Sun in the future. If there is a crisis, we will not sit idly by."
Sachiko opened her mouth, as if to say something, but just then, Chenxi stepped forward and smiled:
"Alright, Sachiko, let them have it. With so many Griffin Hearts, it's no big deal to share some."
Hearing Chenxi say this herself, Xingzi opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but she realized that it would be pointless, and since Chenxi had already stated that all players who came here could share the spoils, she decided not to say anything more.
Chenxi knew that this trend was unstoppable.
After all, in any instance where multiple factions participate, there will inevitably be situations where loot is fought over.
In this situation, directly confronting such a force would not be a wise choice.
If not.
The other party could have been an ally, but turning them into an enemy over such a petty gain would be disastrous. (End of Chapter)
