The god who accepted the most souls in the world was none other than Nether God Sophie! The believers who weren't favored by their gods and couldn't become Scandinavia's chosen ones would be abandoned by their gods. If their souls wandered in the world for too long, they would either disappear or turn into evil spirits. The Netherworld was their final choice.
Logically speaking, Sophie the God of the Underworld should have the most believers, but in fact, among the gods, Sophie the God of the Underworld had the fewest believers. The reason wasn't complicated. It was because the Netherworld was extremely fair. Regardless of whether one was rich or poor, whether it was in the main world or in the Netherworld, everyone was treated equally. The people of the world yearned for it but couldn't obtain satisfaction. They longed to be a cut above others, to live a better life, and to stand above the majority of people. The Nether God couldn't give them that, but the ideals promoted by other gods, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were more in line with their appetites.
Even if there weren't many people who believed in her, the Nether God still accepted souls into her Netherworld, regardless of whether they were her believers or not. She stood aloof from worldly affairs, and it could even be said that she didn't care about her beliefs, which made her divine power weak. Thus, she wasn't a very formidable god.
Her believers also inherited this characteristic. In fact, the believers of gods rarely sang funeral poems for their enemies, but the believers of the Nether God were different. They believed in universal love. Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, as long as they died, they would receive their pity and blessings.
Watching Sophie sending away the confused souls one by one, even though Emma was the saintess of the Church of Storm, she still felt that Sophie was more like a saintess than she was.
Actually, apart from being a symbol, the title of Holy Maiden was only a type of job … a job that didn't have very outstanding overall abilities, and wasn't strong in individual combat, but had top-notch support abilities. Not only that, Holy Maiden was especially skilled at multiple supports, just like Alice and Emma. Her combat strength was definitely stronger than that of Liang Lidong and Kail.
Naturally, that was under the condition that neither of them used their special abilities. For example, Liang Lidong didn't use Mist Driving Technique and Summon Rain Technique, and Kail didn't treat the two women as evil creatures.
Sophie finished her prayer. Then, Liang Lidong walked in front of her and looked into her eyes quietly.
At first, Sophie was a little puzzled, but after being stared at by Liang Lidong, she blushed. "What's the matter?"
Emma frowned as she watched from the side. She was a little jealous. Because Liang Lidong had never looked at her so seriously before. She also wanted to be stared at by the woman she liked, even if it was not a loving gaze.
However, the way Liang Lidong looked at Sophie was not out of love. Instead, his eyes were filled with doubt and worry. "How did your magic robe become like this?"
"Hmm?" When Sophie heard this, she felt a little strange. However, she was happy and answered honestly, "I don't know either. In the past, it was a very ordinary Nether God's robe. It became like this … There was an opening here, but it has been repaired now. "
"Take it off. I'll put it away for you." Liang Lidong said casually, "If you trust me, don't wear this magic robe anymore."
"Oh!" Sophie nodded. She was a little shy and her voice was as weak as a mosquito's. "Beta, do you want to change here? I'm not wearing any other clothes inside. If you want to see it, at least find a place where there is no one. "
After Sophie finished speaking, she turned around shyly with her face in her hands. Her back was to Beta. From this angle, Liang Lidong naturally couldn't see her. She smiled smugly at Emma, who was not far away.
In an instant. Emma's face darkened.
Beta, however, listened helplessly. How could Sophie's mind be so jumpy? He was clearly talking about the magic robe. How did she think of that?
"No need. Go into Mystra's Mansion and change your clothes."
Beta waved his hand. He put Sophie into his space. Emma came forward, her expression a little gloomy. Her thin, pink lips curled up slightly. "Beta, you seem to care a lot about Sophie."
Liang Lidong nodded.
When Emma saw this, she was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to pieces.
Unexpectedly, Beta said, "The magic robe on Sophie is not simple. Like your Eye of the Storm, it is a divine artifact. It would be fine if that was all, but I see something bad on it. If Sophie continues to wear it like this, something unexpected may happen. "
So it was just this kind of companion worry. Emma was relieved. "Sophie has a lot of opinions about me. Is there any way you can get her to stop being so hostile to me?"
In fact, this was Emma reminding Beta in disguise that there was a conflict between the two of them, but Beta misunderstood. He thought that Emma was just referring to Sophie's additional hatred for the royal family after losing her family and home.
"Don't worry, Sophie's resentment toward the royal family will slowly fade with time."
"No …"
Emma meant that there was a more direct, more fundamental conflict between the two of them, which was almost impossible to mediate. However, Beta did not give her a chance to speak. He directly put Garen into his space, and then put Kail and Alice into his space as well. Then he chased after the second prince.
Because of Joan Of Arc in the sky, Beta soon found the second prince's resting place.
Nearly three hundred cavalrymen and three hundred horses were hiding in the valley between two mountains. Because of the dense forest, it was difficult to find them from the outside.
Ignatsu was sitting on a big rock, resting. When he saw Beta appear in the forest, he was startled at first. Then he slightly narrowed his eyes and finally greeted him with a smile. "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. Where are Emma and the others?"
Beta waved his hand, and Emma appeared behind him. Ignatsu stepped forward and happily hugged his little sister. Then he turned to Beta and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. Otherwise, we would not have been able to get rid of those damn cavalrymen. By the way, how are they? "
"They're all dead," Beta replied calmly.
The second prince was stunned, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes. "They're all dead? Emma, really? "
Emma nodded. "Yes. Beta's Fog Spell and Alice's Vine Summoning Spell worked together, and the effect was obvious. They had no magicians or powerful warriors, so there was no way to interrupt the effect of their spells. So they all died. "
There was silence like a block of wood. Then the second prince laughed happily, but also a little disappointed. The Knight team was also elite. Although the second prince was very confident that he could kill them all if he was given a chance, he still had to pay a price.
Betta, Emma, and the others had stayed behind to bring up the rear. He had thought that they were just trying to stop the enemy so that they could leave. He did not expect that they would actually wipe out the enemy … That was nearly three hundred cavalrymen, not three hundred rabbits.
"You're really good." The second prince truly felt that the people in front of him were too strong. "You killed the Soro Family and Archbishop Arnold right under the Kingslayer's nose. Now, you even killed a team of cavalrymen. I suspect that if you were given an army, you could even fight your way into the capital."
Hearing the praise, Beta did not feel anything. In the game, it was normal for players to do this.
Emma laughed. "Actually, it's Beta's good command. To be honest, we didn't expect that we could do this."
Just then, a head popped up from the soil not far behind the prince. It was that unknown great magician. He said to the prince, "Your Highness, the basement has been built. Come in and rest."
The prince nodded and then said to Beta, "You guys come in too. I have something to tell you."
This basement was built using the spells Stone to Mud and Mud to Stone. Although it was rough and the space wasn't too big, it had a place to stay. Also, there was no need to worry about being seen by enemy scouts if they lit a fire here to ward off the cold.
Of course, only Ignatsu and the magician could enjoy such treatment. As for the other cavalrymen, they could only hug their horses outside to warm themselves.
"We're in a bad situation right now." The second prince sighed and said, "The Kingslayer is smarter than I thought. He wants to force me out of the capital. In that case, I'll be completely disqualified from competing with him for the throne. Hollevin can't be handed over to a bastard who dared to kill his own father. Beta, Emma, what do you think about this situation? "
Emma shook her head. She grew up in the Temple of Storm and didn't know much about politics and military affairs.
Beta thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, how long will it take for your reinforcements to arrive?"
The second prince narrowed his eyes. "You guessed that I have reinforcements?"
"It's not hard to guess." Liang Lidong smiled and said, "You only came with three hundred cavalrymen. You're actually bait to attract the first prince's attention. Your cronies must be outside with other lords and forming an alliance. However, it's rare that you're willing to risk yourself as bait. "
"You're so smart." The second prince narrowed his eyes and complimented, "You're the smartest Mage I've ever seen. Not bad. In three days, we'll be able to reverse the situation."
"The smarter a person is, the more they're hated," said Liang Lidong without a smile.
The expression of the second prince changed, and then he laughed and said: "No, on the contrary, the smarter people live longer, they know what moderation is... Your Excellency Beta, I have to trouble you with one more thing. Help us raise some military rations. Now there is nothing to eat, you have space equipment, this should not be difficult for you."
