Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 515 - 22 people

It was clear that ’Mei’ had severely lost trust in Carl, even though they had signed a temporary contract.

Carl had not anticipated this.

This Divine Envoy, ’Mei,’ who was as timid as a mouse, turned out not to be a Lower Vassal but a Middle Position Vassal.

She also had the strength of the Second Order Early Stage.

With the world’s rules suppressing her power, ’Mei,’ given her Cultivation level, really didn’t need to fear much.

Hiding in a small mountain village to spread her faith only showed her inherent timidity, unwilling to compete with others.

If it hadn’t been for Carl’s coercion and his desire to expand his flock, she probably would still be unwilling to show herself.

The few dozen people from the small mountain village boarded the Flying Boat, dashed into the curtain of rain, and flew toward the City of Death.

"Are there really hundreds of thousands of people without faith?"

’Mei’ stood on the deck of the Flying Boat, side by side with Carl, and said excitedly, "If I can make hundreds of thousands believe in the God of Light, the Main God will definitely grant me the authority of an Upper-level Vassal. And once we return to the Divine Domain, I will have more autonomy."

"Don’t worry," Carl said, "There might not be hundreds of thousands, but there are definitely a hundred thousand. Though, isn’t there injustice even in the Divine Domain?"

"No!" ’Mei’s’ expression changed slightly as she shook her head hurriedly, "The Divine are just and unbiased. It’s just that the Angels below haven’t completely eliminated mortal desires, so impurities are unavoidable."

"Heh..." Carl chuckled lightly.

Although she denied it quickly, Carl could guess that the Angels of the Divine Domain were not much different from mortals. They also engaged in intrigues and transactions for benefits.

"Mei," Carl asked, "This time, how many Divine from your world have sent followers, and how many are Divine Sons?"

"As far as I know, most Divine have sent followers, some many, some few," Mei said, "As for Divine Sons... such beings can actually refuse the commands of Divine, so I guess not many are willing to come. I only know of two: one is the Death God’s Divine Son, Black Emperor, and the other is the Earth God’s Divine Son, Gutuo."

Carl slowly nodded, his mind also slightly relieved. Even if ’Mei’ doesn’t know everything, it’s clear very few Divine Sons have descended. Scattered across such a vast world, the chances of encountering them are even slimmer, so I don’t need to worry too much. As long as I don’t encounter a Divine Son, with my strength and tactics, even if I can’t win, escaping won’t be a problem.

"Apart from the Divine of our world, some extraterritorial Evil Gods have also sent followers," ’Mei’ continued, "Like Dragon Calamity, which spreads the evil dragon bloodline; the Mother of Nothingness hiding in the Land of Nothingness; and certain powerful overlords from the Abyss... They only care about acquiring the world’s origin source and are not interested in expanding their faith or protecting the people."

"Hmm," Carl nodded. Remembering a special follower he had encountered, he asked, "Do you know of any Divine in the ’technology’ domain, a self-proclaimed Creator, capable of crafting Mechanical Puppets?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Creator?" ’Mei’s’ expression changed slightly. "I do. This is a world-level Main God, very powerful. In our world, He also has followers, who open companies in the mortal world and develop technology to attract the faith of people by offering various things to satisfy human desires. His followers are mostly very powerful, especially adept at fighting. Be very careful if you encounter any."

Carl’s expression became stern.

World-level? Each world can only birth one world-level Divine, also called a Main God, whose tier is Seventh Rank. Lower Gods are Fourth-tier, Middle-Level Gods are Fifth Order, and Upper Gods are Sixth Rank. Main God, Seventh Rank! In reality, most worlds do not have a Seventh Order Main God, or if they do, they are not complete due to the division of authority among other Divine. Only when a world has a single Divine is it considered to have a true Main God, or world-level.

Gathering his thoughts, Carl pointed ahead, "We’re there!"

’Mei’ looked eagerly. Upon seeing the city within the rain curtain and sensing the dense mortal presence, her face couldn’t help but reveal ecstasy.

Truly! There were indeed more than a hundred thousand people without faith waiting for her to spread the light of the gods!

For the people of the City of Death, Divine followers were comparatively unreliable but definitely better than Mei Weiya. To spread their faith, Divine followers would certainly perform various acts of kindness to gain people’s trust. Mei Weiya... had always been about oppressive control!

* * *

In reality, things didn’t go as well as ’Mei’ had imagined. Someone was competing with her for the faith of those hundred thousand people.

"I’ll introduce," Mei Weiya gestured with her hand. "This is ’Night Owl,’ a follower of the Death God, and I have promised him that he can spread his faith in the City of Death."

The Night Owl looked like a gaunt middle-aged man who forced a stiff smile upon hearing this. Upon seeing ’Mei,’ his expression immediately turned cold.

"Regardless of whatever disputes you had before, we are now collaborators, and we should handle matters through discussion," Mei Weiya said. "If I find you doing anything sneaky, don’t blame me for sending you away!"

"Yes." The Night Owl seemed somewhat fearful of Mei Weiya, bowing as he responded, "Your Highness, allowing me to spread the divine glory here is already more than I could ask for. I dare not wish for more."

’Mei’ likewise nodded in agreement. Her expression was tense, and she was somewhat worried.

If it were a peaceful era, a prosperous age, the light of the God of Light would shine more easily upon the mortals. But now... the philosophy that ’only death can redeem everything’ was obviously easier to accept than ’walking towards the light.’ Moreover, this city was called the City of Death, and the citizens naturally favored the ’Death God.’

’Mei’ silently encouraged herself. Do not fear! This is a test from God for me, and I must overcome the difficulties to let God’s light shine further.

"Both of you," Mei Weiya clapped her hands, a smile appearing as she spoke. "I have already agreed to let you spread your faith in the City of Death, so now you should help me as well."

The two’s expressions became stern.

"Bring them in!" Mei Weiya gestured. "Carry those two patients here."

"Yes!"

Knights outside responded, and soon carried into the hall two large iron cages wrapped in black cloth. The servants carrying the cages looked terrified and hurried out as soon as Mei Weiya dismissed them.

WHOOSH...

The black cloth was pulled away, revealing the contents of the cages. Inside were two patients whose bodies were covered with boils, and whose fingers and toes had grown sharp blades.

"This is..." The Night Owl stepped forward, frowning. "Dragon Calamity contamination!"

"Yes," ’Mei’ said gravely, "Dragon’s Minions spread the ’Dragon Bloodline’ all over the world, and once infected, one evolves towards a dragon form. The problem is, the transformed ’dragons’ lose their original sanity, becoming sources of massacre and spreading the Dragon Calamity contamination."

"Both of you," Mei Weiya spoke, "how can this be solved?"

"This..." ’Mei’ thought for a moment before saying, "I have a way to reverse the body’s mutations, but unless the Dragon Calamity contamination is removed, these events are inevitable."

"Correct," The Night Owl nodded. "To stop the contamination, we must kill the source of the contamination, which is the Dragon’s Minion spreading it."

"I see..." Mei Weiya acknowledged. "So you’re saying, unless that Dragon’s Minion is killed, you can’t spread your faith freely?"

The Night Owl and ’Mei’ looked at each other and slowly nodded, sharing a moment of mutual understanding against a common enemy.

"Exactly!"

"As I know, the Dragon Calamity has already allied with a follower of the God of Water," Mei Weiya pointed to the rain outside, saying, "This rain is mixed with Dragon Calamity contamination, which is why such cases have appeared in the city."

The Night Owl and ’Mei’ suddenly understood.

"I can disperse the rain," ’Mei’ volunteered eagerly. "Though I can’t affect such a large area, I can ensure there’s no issue around the City of Death."

She is a follower of the God of Light, possessing the authority of the blazing sun and the scorching sun, which can counter the God of Water. In fact, in any world, being able to control light places one among the Upper Gods, and among the best of them.

"Good!" Mei Weiya nodded. "But stopping the rain is just a temporary solution. We still need to solve the root of the problem. In a few days, the follower of the God of Water will head to Ze City. Then we can kill him in the city. Without the help of the follower of the God of Water, it will be easy for the four of us to handle the Dragon’s Minion."
