Edward and Bernadette also simply saluted and said hello, "We are travelers from the outside world. My name is Edward, and this is Bernadette. ￠删\芭-看-书\王^ .勉.废′阅?黩^"

"Although I came to this land by chance, I believe this may be the arrangement of the Lord I believe in, so that His glory can be spread to this land abandoned by the gods."

The pupils of the high priest Nim slightly dilated, and he murmured, "A land abandoned by the gods... Is this what the outside world calls us?"

"That's right."

Edward nodded in acknowledgment, but did not talk much about the ancient sun god being stabbed to death.

Nim soon calmed down, looked at Edward with gray eyes and asked: "Sir, who is the Lord you believe in?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Edward said, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal His name without my Lord's consent." - In fact, it wouldn't be a big problem to mention Mr. Fool to the people of Moon City and Silver City. The key is that if Amon knew about it, it would be troublesome.

Bernadette looked over silently.

The people of Moon City looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that they had never heard of this "god". "Is this great being a god from outside this land?"

"Yes."

Nim hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question he wanted to know the most, "What about the great sun god, the creator of everything?"

Edward shook his head. "I'm sorry, I've never heard of the name of this Sun God. I've already told those friends about our beliefs and gods in the outside world. Didn't they tell you about it?"

The captain who came along immediately said, "Sorry, I haven't had time to tell the high priest yet."

"Would you like to hear me repeat it again?"

High Priest Nim nodded.

Edward waved his wand and conjured up the same number of chairs as the number of people present. "Sit down and talk."

"In our outside world, there are seven gods that we hear about most often: the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Goddess of Night, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the God of War, and the God of Steam and Machinery. Their believers are spread all over the world..."

"Then why do you believe in that...existence?"

"Because these seven gods are just gods from the old times. The world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and the end of the world is about to happen. Facing the end of the world, the seven gods can hardly protect themselves, let alone protect their believers. And my Lord is the only new god who can stop the end of the world and bring hope and light to the world again!"

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Will He... protect us too?"

Edward smiled and said, "Of course."

The people of Moon City fell into a long silence. Compared to Klein, who had the Staff of Life and could heal them with miracles, Edward's empty words were of course much less credible.

But he wasn't really here to preach like Klein, so he said, "My Lord told me that the time has not yet come. I am not here to ask you to convert to Him, but to spread His name to you and bring you information about the outside world, so that you can understand the outside world in advance and prepare to leave this desperate land and embrace a brand new life."

After a pause, he took out a handful of wheat from his leather bag and said, "At the same time, I brought food from the outside world for everyone. It has no toxins, no mutations, and will not cause deformities."

Thanks to the goddess's last purchase list, Edward bought a lot of food. Although most of it was handed over, the portion Edward kept should be enough for the people of Moon City (about 5,000 people) to eat for several months. If they save more in normal times, by the time they finish eating, there shouldn't be much left before Klein takes them out of the God-Forsaken Land.

It's a pity that the people of Yuecheng cannot eat only wheat (flour), and they may still not be able to completely get rid of the poisonous mutant monster meat.

If you think about it this way, the mushroom invented by the mushroom king Frank Lee, which no one can accept, can really be called a miracle.

The growing conditions are simple, the taste is delicious and diverse, and it can supplement various nutrients at the same time.

The high priest Nim then asked in a deep voice: "What is the price...what do we need to pay?"

He doesn't believe there is a free lunch in the world, and that everyone has a purpose behind everything they do.

Edward was well aware of this: he did all this mainly to play the role of a wandering mentor, but if he really said that, it would probably be difficult for the people of Moon City to believe it.

So he thought for a moment and said, "In the long run, I hope that the people of Moon City can convert to my Lord, but for now, perhaps I can use this food and knowledge from the outside world to exchange for some extraordinary materials and extraordinary properties from you."

Nim thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that both parties had reached a basic agreement, Edward asked, "Do you have any other questions for me?"

Nim said seriously: "Can you... help ask the being you believe in why the Lord we believe in abandoned this land?"

Tsk, it turns out that we can't avoid this problem.

"I can try, but I can't guarantee that my Lord will answer me."

Nim immediately bowed to express his gratitude: "I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone in Yuecheng." After a pause, "Do you mind visiting our Yuecheng? + Fantasy ￠姬 ′, Chasing ~ Crime¨ Xin\ Zhang! Conclusion-"

"With great pleasure."

Led by the High Priest of Nim, the group returned along the same route and walked into the endless darkness.

Some people in Moon City were obviously quite interested in the lanterns surrounding them, especially when they saw with their own eyes that these lanterns were created by Edward using stones.

If the people of Yuecheng can master this ability, they will be much safer when going out hunting in the future.

"How many normal people are there outside the Cursed Land?"

Edward said: "They are basically normal people. If you have to give a specific number... maybe hundreds of millions of people."

The original novel never mentioned the specific population of each country, but a megacity like Backlund had a population of nearly five million, and a small town like Tingen had only three hundred thousand people. A rough calculation showed that the population of the outside world should be over a hundred million, or perhaps even far more.

Nim's gray pupils trembled slightly, a number he could not imagine.

"Is there enough food for so many people?"

Although Moon City has been passed down for thousands of years, Nim is only a hundred years old after all, and those long-standing histories and records have long since disappeared. The people of Moon City have been eating the meat of mutated monsters since they were born, and they can't imagine what else they can eat.

"It's barely enough. People in the outside world grow a lot of edible plants, like the wheat I just took out. It is their most important staple food. In addition, they also raise some edible creatures or fish in the ocean. There are many ways to get food."

Even though he had heard what the captain said, Nim couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that those foods...are they not contaminated or mutated at all?"

"No, so most people outside are healthy too."

"What is the ocean like?"

"You can imagine that there is an enormous pit on the ground, filled with endless sea water, and various creatures live in the sea water."

Nim was silent for a while after listening to this, and murmured, "That's great."

More than twenty minutes later, a large area of ​​light appeared in front of us, surrounded by the outline of a huge city. As soon as we got closer, we could feel the strong historical atmosphere it exuded.

"Moon City was once a city belonging to vampires, but that civilization was destroyed in ancient times."

"Later our ancestors followed the will of the sun god and moved here, and they have continued to this day," Nim explained.

A city of vampires?

Did Lilith, the ancestor of the blood clan, ever live here?

Edward subconsciously glanced at the "Lilith's leg ring" on Lilith's leg and unexpectedly discovered that it was emitting a faint glow.

Is this some kind of connection with Yuecheng, or what?

"Huh?"

Lilith also noticed it at this time. She raised her leg and shook it curiously and said in surprise: "Edward, the leg ring is glowing!"

Nim frowned slightly: "This thing on its leg... seems to have a faint smell of Moon City. Where did you get it from?"

Edward shrugged: "It was sent to us by a vampire from the outside world."

Bernadette asked casually, "Is that the vampire count who was in the private bath last time?"

"No, it's her brother. This thing should come from the treasure house of the blood clan."

There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and she vaguely wondered if this was related to the cat's name - but normally, if you give a cat the name of your ancestor, you should get hostility from the vampires, not friendship, right?

Nim was surprised and said, "Vampires still exist in the outside world? I thought they became extinct with the death of the ancestor Lilith?"

Lilith's eyes widened immediately: "Huh? I also called..."

Edward pinched her mouth and said, "In fact, they have lived well outside for thousands of years, but the size of the tribe should be much smaller than before. After all, humans are now in charge of the outside world."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Yuecheng. Before their eyes stood rows of buildings that were mottled but extremely solid. People from Yuecheng were coming and going on the streets, and most of them had obvious deformities, and some had even undergone a certain degree of alienation.

In response to the return of the high priest, people on the road stopped to salute, and Nim returned the greetings one by one. Then he led Edward and the others to a tall tower near the square.

"Two guests, you will stay here for the rest of the time."

Nim arranged two adjacent stone houses for them. The decoration inside the houses was very simple, with a stone bed, a stone table, a stone chair, and a layer of animal skin on the bed, nothing else.

"However, we need to check your identity again before that. Please forgive us."

"no problem."

The high priest then had the seal brought and conducted a careful inspection of the two people and the cat, and naturally found no problems.

But the people of Yuecheng still did not completely believe them. The top leaders even held a special meeting for this purpose. In the end, the high priest made the final decision. Next, the high-sequence strongmen of Yuecheng would be responsible for accompanying the two guests - of course, it was called accompanying, but in fact it was surveillance.

Nim also told Edward this truthfully, and he had no doubts about it.

At night, the high priest announced the arrival of the outsider to everyone on the high tower, and told everyone that this outsider would bring news about the outside world to the people of Moon City, and anyone interested could come to the square.

The people of Yuecheng were instantly excited about this. Most of them were extremely curious, while a small number were extremely nervous, fearing that these so-called outsiders were transformed monsters.

However, when Edward started his "open class" in the square, it was still packed with people.

Chapter 349 Summary of the Rules for Playing the Role of a Wandering Mentor

Although he was mentally prepared, the number of deformed people in Moon City still far exceeded Edward's imagination. Even the children had tumors or were missing certain organs. Being surrounded by this group of people, he was more or less creepy.

It would be great if I could go to Silver City and borrow their Life Staffs...

As usual, Edward first briefly described some basic information about the outside world, then entered the question-and-answer session, and then answered all kinds of strange questions raised by the people of Yuecheng one by one, answering their doubts and resolving their confusion.

That night, most people in Yuecheng couldn't sleep well because the outside world described by the person from the outside world was too beautiful for them.

No need to worry about monster attacks all the time, no need to be afraid of being in the dark, no need to go crazy when you get old, no need to bear various curses, no deformities and mutations, you can see the sun every day when you wake up, the food every day is normal enough, and the red moon rises every night.

More importantly, this outsider who claimed to be here to spread the light of the Lord said that it would not be long before someone would step into this land again and lead them out so that they could live the same life as the outsiders.

When Edward lay down on the bed with a dry mouth, he found that his potion had been quietly digested. According to his estimation, by the time he "taught" all the knowledge of the outside world to all the people in Moon City, the potion should have been digested halfway.

This progress was not slow. Although Moon City had a population of several thousand, Edward only taught some basic common sense knowledge - as for extraordinary knowledge, he might not know as much as the people of Moon City.

He opened his notebook and wrote down a set of rules for acting that he had summarized during class today:

"Only when what he says is truly absorbed, understood and believed by others, can a complete 'teaching' be completed, rather than just saying it out loud and hearing it in your ears."

In other words, if he teaches others scientific knowledge and extraordinary knowledge, he must wait until others learn and master it before he can be considered successful.

This is really asking too much and it is extremely difficult.

No wonder Bernadette, who was at Sequence 3, didn't make much progress in digesting Chinese after teaching her several times along the way—because she didn't really learn it!

And imparting knowledge to so many people has also allowed [Different Paths to the Same Destination] to increase his spirituality by a lot - of course, perhaps because it involves some ordinary common sense knowledge, the average increase per person is actually quite small.
