Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

But Kael was very clear that the early players' situation in the game wasn't actually that great and could even be described as being subjected to various kinds of malicious intentions and beatings.

So much so that for a while, many players, when going to accept quests from other NPCs, always carried a scrutinizing gaze, replaying whether there was a possibility of being tricked to death by this NPC.

It's not to say there were no NPC natives friendly to players, but in the current overall environment, more were eyeing the power of the Undead with wariness.

Even those scholars from various races who wanted to research resurrection and immortality projects didn't mind secretly kidnapping some players to conduct some experiments too dreadful to recall...

Then, at times, some perverted researchers would chuckle eerily and attempt to "make the enemy blush, taking off their clothes," only for a burst of Holy Light to flash by, disintegrating them on the spot.

So much so that from the time the servers opened, players everywhere were wailing "The game is treacherous, the planners have deceived us."

Instead, places like Lancaster, where players and native NPCs could relatively understand and identify with each other, were few and far between.

Kael didn't care, only feeling that he was harvesting the players' "crops." If he didn't grow the "crops" well, how could he harvest them more conveniently?

But over at the Earth Mother Goddess Church, they didn't think this way, judged by actions not intentions, what they saw was Kael treating their Goddess' faithful guests from the divine realm very kindly.

Willing to interact, willing to trust, willing to be friends with each other, and even disliking those engaging in cunning schemes.

Now, they were even willing to discuss possible future directions of development for the territory with the Earth Mother Goddess Church!

Jokingly, this is our loyal partner of the Earth Mother Goddess Church! They've even trusted us with their underwear!

Ignoring the fact that players use forums to pass messages to each other, who could deny that this wasn't Kael's profound trust in the Earth Mother Goddess Church?

The more he thought about it, the more Kael felt that he truly trusted the Earth Mother Goddess Church deeply, yes, regardless of whether there was a Player Forum as a channel for communication between players, he and the Earth Mother Goddess Church were truly brothers in arms!

Kael tried to make himself trust completely, the corner of his mouth lifting into a smile as he said to Bishop Tetu:

"No later than three days, the Twisted Jungle Dungeon will completely disappear, becoming part of Lancaster Territory. By then, we will have more land and easier access to bountiful harvests.

It's just a pity that Lancaster still doesn't have many people available during this time. Thankfully, the Moon Howling Lions from the Twisted Jungle are also willing to join our ranks, fighting together, which somewhat alleviates the already understaffed situation in Lancaster."

Bishop Tetu, of course, knew Kael's underlying meaning, a mysterious smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Kael, in recent years the countries around the Bell Federation have seen not a small amount of friction, with the number of new wanderers drastically increasing, many of whom are looking for a new place to settle without finding one.

If you are willing to accept these people, I think the Earth Mother Goddess Church can give you a rather pleasant surprise."

As he said this, his face had a warm smile.

Upon hearing this, Kael's mouth also slightly lifted.

Followers of the Gods of Virtue aren't just those who verbally claim to be followers; to use the words of a sage from a previous era, it's about unity of knowledge and action.

It sounds simple, but it's difficult to practice.

In fact, the world isn't filled with so many fools; many people know what they should do, but they just can't put those things into practice.

If merely understanding the goals was sufficient to achieve them, then there wouldn't be so many failures in the world. It is precisely because they know how difficult those things are that many people, despite knowing what they should do, simply don't do it.

"Though harboring utilitarian purposes, being able to help the Earth Mother Goddess Church to a certain extent is really too good."

Kael, feeling touched, answered with a smile.

Bishop Tetu also greatly appreciated Kael, saying with some melancholy, "The directions of the wind now have changed too much from our era.

I once thought that in the current younger generation, the vast majority view churches of the God of Virtue, like the Earth Mother Goddess Church, as described in the knight's tales — hidden in the world's shadows, dark forces that need to be opposed and overthrown.

They would praise the deeds of the churches of the Evil God and the Evil God Church, considering them carefree, genuine, and much more trustworthy than the churches of the true Gods."

Hearing this, Kael's smile turned sarcastic as he said, "Good is good, evil is evil. To be called a God of Virtue signifies that for a long stretch in the past, the Harvest Goddess has always stood on the side of what humanity understands as good and just.

The filthy and disgraceful will certainly exist, but they are hardly ever in the majority.

On the contrary, whoever is the filth hidden among the forces of good would wish the entire faction to be as corrupt as him.

Because only if everyone is as villainous as he is, can he ensure that he's not the one getting uprooted. The more they commit evil, the more they hope to take the life of the one maintaining order.

My suggestion is, next time you encounter such lopsided people, let the tribunal of heretics go and have a friendly discussion with them, chop off their fingers, smash their foul mouths, inspect their ledgers. You might even fill some of the church's deficits."
