Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The last request is quite revealing, but it is also reasonable. Now that I am penniless, I still have to pluck the leeks that need to be plucked, highlighting the sense of being justified.

"Okay." This son of the plane is a bit decisive. He is quick to give favors, tasks, and do things.

Watching the other party hurriedly leave, Zhou Ning couldn't help but curl his lips. These children of the planes each had distinct characteristics and twists and turns in their personal stories. If it weren't for his appearance overshadowing the brilliance of these children of the planes, now should be a time for a hundred flowers to bloom.

But since I'm already here, I must take the center position in the plot.

"Wait, am I forgetting something?"

Zhou Ning stood there, frowning and thinking for a moment, then he remembered two things he had forgotten.

He had actually forgotten to consider the reason for his recent rundown, and even the purpose of his trip—he wanted to go to the Wealth District to replenish ritual materials. He would be connecting with the gods soon, and there would likely be many occasions for offering sacrifices. He also wanted to show off to the players and make their presence felt. He had previously issued a quest for the players to gather in Dulles City, and it was almost time to hand it over.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning found that his luck seemed to have become bad again, because occasional forgetfulness was the negative effect of the quasi-artifact, the Light Clock.

This is really uncomfortable! Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. There are probably two possibilities that can be thought of at the moment. One is the curse from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. As the King of Magic and the King of Curses, there is a possibility of being cursed after coming into contact with each other.

Another possibility is that it comes from the "Canon of Poseidon". According to what Malses said before, his name was written into the Canon of Poseidon. The Church of Poseidon must kill himself before the end of 1454 of this era. This is the holy word from the god himself. When the words are recorded in the holy book and recited by believers, they will become "classics", which will affect cause and effect in a mysterious way.

In other words, when his statement that he would die before 1454 became a "classic", it would affect cause and effect, causing his fate to gradually shift towards death.

Both reasons are possible, and either one is an unbearable burden for the Angel King.

The latter is the most likely possibility. If Zhou Ning wants to get rid of this cause and effect, he has only two options: kill Malses or obtain the "Scripture of the God of the Sea" and delete this statement.

"Luckily, my buddy has a cheat..." Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh.

……

On the other side, deep in the ancient city of Waters.

The weather is still hot within the original fire element weather tide, but it is almost difficult to see any trace of the fire element.

There was a very special-looking moon hanging in the sky. There was a single-eye emblem on the moon, which cast bright white light on the earth.

Animals gathered from all directions like pilgrims, entered the ancient city of Waters, formed a long line, and marched forward with difficulty along the black ancient road, leaving behind a trail of black shadows.

Compared to a week ago, these animals vividly illustrate what evolution means.

From a God's perspective, one can clearly see that at the tail end of the team, the animals that had just entered the ancient city of Waters were still crawling, while those in the middle of the team had begun to show some human characteristics and were gradually walking upright. At the front of the team, the beasts were walking in the same way as humans, their body hair had faded, and they were even beginning to look for clothes to cover their bodies.

It seems that they have completed the evolution from animals to humans in just a few kilometers of road.

The ancient city of Waters was filled with upright-walking animals dressed in various costumes. As a burst of starlight fell, the "God of Thunder and Lightning" Maleses suddenly appeared here, alarming the surrounding animals. They seemed to have great aggressiveness, baring their teeth, looking at Maleses with eyes full of attack desire, and swarming towards him from all directions.

The next second, the animals near Him turned into charcoal at the same time, and His figure passed through them and entered the church in front.

Inside the church, a skinny old man sat upright on a stone bench. Notice that thin lines stretched around his body, connecting to the outside of the church. Attached to his back was a tall, bearded, middle-aged man. It looked quite eerie.

From the shadows not far away, a gloomy gaze came from a middle-aged man in black.

Malses walked over and stopped forty meters away from them, bowed slightly and said:

"Two powerful righteous gods, the Sea God Church needs your help and support."

"According to the oracle left by the Sea God, this is likely related to the final outcome of this era."

The skinny old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Maleses with sharp eyes.

.

.........

Soon it was afternoon. Zhou Ning was busy for the whole morning. He first went to various areas in the city to check the situation in the city. It was indeed as Hugo Bulwer said. The pirates were surprisingly low-key in the past two days, and it seemed that they were brewing something.

Even the animals that have gained wisdom seem to have become more low-key, and there are fewer parades on the streets.

But the players are not low-key at all. Previously, Zhou Ning issued a camp mission to capture animals and pirates. Since three days of gathering time were reserved, the settlement began two days later. Along the way, many players were seen chasing roosters, donkeys and lone Northern pirates. When asked, they were told to prepare the mission materials in advance and hand them in directly when the mission started.

This is how players think.

After a routine inspection, Zhou Ning purchased different special materials from various herbal medicine stores, alchemy stores, and engineering stores in the Fortune District in preparation for the ceremony.

As an isolated nation, Revendreth's commerce was still far behind that of Nathaniel and Darkland. Aside from the relatively developed wool and tailoring industries, Zhou Ning had to visit six or seven shops to purchase just a dozen or so materials.

Due to heavy taxes, the prices of these materials were extremely high, which directly squeezed out all the last bit of Viktoria from Zhou Ning.

"I'm still poor..." Zhou Ning touched his empty pockets and was speechless.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ning returned to No. 49, Savia Street and saw Hugo Bourville waiting there again.

After seeing Zhou Ning, he hurried over and handed a stack of land deeds to Zhou Ning:

"This is the deed to Bartlett Street in the Fortune District. The whole street is yours. If it's not enough, you can add more."

"That's enough." Hugo Bulwer is really a decisive person. Zhou Ning gave him a thumbs up in his heart. After exchanging a few words, he checked the deed in his hand.

Bartlett means "sunny day" in ancient Faric. It is widely used in the Kingdom of Revendreth, which likes to use weather as a common term. The Bartlett that Zhou Ning had previously taken was named after this.

There are more than sixty land deeds in hand, which is actually an entire street, which is very suitable for the headquarters of the Starry Sky Church.

For the next period of time, this will become the player's temporary main city.

After a few days of gathering, most of the players have gathered in Dulles City. With promotion imminent, they now have a large gap in experience and finances, and it is almost time for them to make their first appearance.

Zhou Ning glanced around, his eyes locked on a few nearby players. He waved at them. It seemed like a few female players had been waiting here since yesterday.

Zhou Ning glanced at their IDs and found none of them familiar. Only a couple called "Shifengrixia" looked familiar.

Seeing Zhou Ning waving at them, she pointed at herself in disbelief, then let out a scream and happily gathered around.
