Chapter 408: 408

The Water God Church?Roland had heard about the church before . It was a small church that worshiped a virtuous goddess .

But the problem was that this church had never been reputable .

It was not because the members of this church were untrustworthy or treacherous, but because the Priests of this church were rather… funny .

The core doctrine of this church was to hold yourself back as much as possible before a battle .

But actually, the believers of this church never bothered to hold themselves back .

That was not really impressive . What was really amazing was that they were all battle maniacs who could blow up their armor .

They could literally blow up their armor .

It was a rather powerful skill .

Armor Detonation: When you’re in peril, you can tear apart your equipment and burst it to deal powerful penetrative damage to your enemies in front of you . In the meantime, your speed, health, and magic resistance will be significantly improved, based on your Resolve and the quality of your armor . The duration of the enhancement is based on your Resolve (Praise the cute and sexy Water God) .

The Water God’s intention was simple . She hoped that her believers could fight back or escape with Armor Detonation when they were in danger .

Yet… the Priests of the Water God Church used this skill more often than they should .

They wouldn’t care if they were really in danger . As long as they ran into a worthy opponent, they would blow up their armor and simply charge at the target .

The problem was that armor could be expensive, especially the high-quality ones .

The effect of this skill, on the other hand, was highly dependent on the quality of the armor .

Therefore… the best Priests in the Water God Church were the poorest Priests, because they had blown up too many armor suits .

No wonder the girl said that she came here on foot . It was obviously meant to save money .

Looking at her, Roland couldn’t help but ask, “How many sets of armor have you prepared?”

“Don’t worry . I’ve kept thirteen armor suits in my system Backpack,” the Priest declared quickly, “They’re definitely enough . ”

“But something happened on my side . We can’t set off yet,” said Roland .

The Priest stared at Roland, waiting for him to continue . She believed that Roland must’ve made arrangements for her .

Roland was glad that she was so patient . He said, “So, we will hire you as our security manager for the time being and pay you five silver coins a day, how does it sound?”

The Priest grew excited . “Five silver coins . That’s eight hundred yuan . Not bad at all . I’ll take it . ”

The Priest and Roland both found it worthwhile .

This Priest girl was level five . Considering the fact that she didn’t add points on Charm, she was definitely a pure battle-type player, and must’ve been a pro in other games too .

Another reason that made Roland feel that his payment was worth it was that the Priests of the Water God Church were the only Priests who could heal unlimitedly .

Armor Detonation was the lifesaving skill of the Water God Church, but their essential skill was Battle Boon .

Battle Boon: Every time you deal damage to an enemy, you will cast Rapid Healing on yourself or your teammate .

Many people thought that the Church of Life was best at healing, but they were wrong . The Water God Church was actually the best, but they were never discussed because they were too few .

Rapid Healing was as effective as Advanced Treatment, and it didn’t have any side effects .

Therefore, the Priests of the Water God Church were never scared of injuries . It was said that they fought like Berserkers .

The Priest’s arrival did not raise too much attention .

After all, the people in Delpon had already grown accustomed to the Golden Sons .

In the ten days that followed, the remains of the forest was burned to the ground and changed into farmland .

The timber that was piled next to the lumber camp was used to build cottages too .

Thanks to the plan that Roland made in advance, a small town was established quickly .

The town was named Aden .

A road that connected Delpon and Aden was also paved before the first blizzard .

At this point, forty days had passed .

The homeless poor people were settled down in Aden . Everybody had a place to live in and a piece of farmland .

The rest of the timber was chopped into firewood and distributed to every household in Aden .

Roland had done everything he could . If anybody starved or died from cold, it would be their own problem, not nature’s fault .

As snowflakes fell from the sky, Roland listened to Vivian’s report inside the warm study .

“Old Conan Doyle got 32 points, Gru got 27, more than twenty people got 15 to 20 points, and more than forty people got 10 to 15 points . I didn’t calculate the rest . ” Closing the notebook, Vivian asked in a low voice, “Have we given away too many points?”

“No . We’ve gathered more than forty level-one spells in our Magic Tower . Thirty-two points are not even enough to learn all of them . It’s not too many at all . ” Roland said with a smile, “Old Conan Doyle almost went bankrupt for those points . We should be generous . Besides, it won’t be easy for them to garner points again later . ”

Vivian was relieved . “As long as you have a plan . ”

Roland had a bite of Vivian’s cake, which was as delicious as ever . “In a day or two, Vincent, Andonara, the Priest from the Water God Church, and I will go out . The Magic Tower will be in your hands . ”

Greatly surprised, Vivian waved quickly . “No, no, that’s too much for me . ”

“It’s all right . You are an official Mage now,” Roland said with a smile . “When I took over the Magic Tower from Aldo, I had just become an official Mage too . Besides, you’ve been following up the work in the Magic Tower . I’m sure you’ll do a great job . ”

Vivian said bitterly, “But I’m not very confident in myself . ”

“If you run into any problems, you can ask Christina for advice . Though she’s practically useless in the day, she has a lot of life experience since she has lived decades . ”

Vivian thought for a moment and accepted the task . “Okay, but be back soon . ”

“Of course we will . ” Roland looked at the snow outside of the window and said, “No place can compare to a home that you build yourself . ”

Vivian nodded in agreement .

Since they wouldn’t set off until tomorrow, Roland was free for the rest of the day . Feeling lazy, he decided to take a walk to relax .

There were few passersby on the street . Most people were hiding at home to keep themselves warm . But Roland found that every tavern was crowded and tumultuous .

Recalling the deal he made with Viki about a month ago, he went into one of the taverns and checked the progress .

He covered his head with the hood of his magic hood, hiding his face in shadow, which was a classic way for Mages to play mysterious .

The civilians subconsciously fell quiet when they saw the Mage, but when they found that the Mage went to a corner and didn’t talk, they grew bold again and resumed their carnival .

The Bard, on the other hand, continued his narration amongst the heavy stench of alcohol, “Druid Aslan, holding his dying partner Kira in his arms, cried, ‘Don’t worry, Kira . I’ll treat your wife like my own wife, and love your daughter as my wife too . You can rest in peace…’ Then, Kira pointed his shivering fingers at Aslan and kicked the bucket . ”

The alcoholics immediately scoffed at the shamelessness of this Aslan . Some of them made dirty gestures, raising another round of laughter .

Roland was rather dumbfounded .

Wait! I didn’t ask Viki to smear them like that, did I?

Is that really something a decent man should do?
