Can't I develop my own character?

"Where is this?" asked Charlie.

The singer lowered his head and said, "This is the outskirts of Silver Edge City."

Silver Front City?

Ryan quickly opened the map and looked around, and determined the location of Silver Front City. It was actually right next door, and it was the territory under the jurisdiction of Earl Lanster.

If it were just this, Ryan wouldn't think there was anything wrong, but the Grand Duke had just told him about the Chaos Space yesterday, and now seeing this group of Blood Archbishop's minions, it was hard not to doubt the relationship between the two.

However, it stands to reason that even if the Blood Archbishop was behind this, it wouldn't have caused such a big stir without anyone's support. This is not the first day that the Empire has been cracking down on paganism. Not to mention the Gate of Janus, the Fire Covenant is not there to do anything for nothing.

While thinking, 'Xia Li' had already started strolling around the altar.

She wanted to see if she could send the message back, otherwise it would be too troublesome to run back to Kyles from Silver Front City.

The pagan singers, on the other hand, were talking with their heads down.

This was a sacrifice of considerable scale, otherwise the Bloody Butcher would not have been summoned, even if it was just an incarnation... No, it should be said that it could only be a clone, as such a great demon could not be easily summoned into reality.

Firstly, there are no such awesome singers. Secondly, because the real world is different from the reality of the inner world, it is extremely difficult to descend from the chaotic space to the reality. The stronger the strength, the greater the difficulty. Otherwise, the outer gods would not go to such great lengths to promote their faith and cultivate believers.

Being able to summon a butcher's clone proves that its scale is not small. If it is more powerful, the level of the summoned butcher will be upgraded and its strength will increase dramatically.

"Lord Yasir, is she really the Bloody Hand Butcher? One of the four great demons under the Blood God Doclodes?"

"How could this be false? First of all, she came out of the altar, and secondly, we summoned the Bloody Butcher. And I've seen what she just said in the Holy Scriptures. It's what Bloody Butcher Barton often says!"

Asaph, the leader of the singers, said with certainty.

His sacrifice would not be wrong. Both the sacrificial words and the formation were flawless. This time it was in the most perfect state. How could there be any mistake?

"But she looks like a human being, not a demon at all," said the subordinate.

Asaph sang: "The Blood Tribunal's sacred text records that a noble demon descended upon the world. Born from a bath of blood, he transformed into a formless shadow, shrouding all fear in the world, and war ensued. Wherever he walked, the rain turned to blood, and even the accompanying priests could not glimpse his true appearance..."

"This is the power bestowed upon the Great Demon by God. He can transform into a myriad of forms. This is the real world, so what's wrong with appearing in human form?"

The men suddenly understood.

In terms of qualifications for sacrifice, they are far inferior to Asaph.

Could the records in the scriptures be wrong?

"She seems to be looking for something?" Someone peeked in and saw 'Xia Li' wandering around the altar.

Asaph knelt down and cried out, "Great Bloody Butcher, what are you seeking?"

"I'm looking for the door to the chaotic space." said 'Xia Li'.

Asaph was bewildered.

That kind of thing... I've never heard of it.

"I was born from chaos and was given a soul and a body by the Blood God. My power when I came here is too weak. You have done a very bad job, and I am very dissatisfied." 'Xia Li' continued.

Asa and others knelt on the ground in panic.

"Noble Bloody Hand Butcher, please forgive our weakness. If you need more food, we will prepare it for you right away!"

"Blood can only satisfy the most basic killing needs. If I want to become stronger, the Blood God will bring his power to the chaotic space. I need that power."

"what?"

Asa looked up, his expression blank.

What does this mean? Chaos Space Power? We don't have it.

"Is there no way you can make me stronger?" 'Xia Li' raised her hand, and suddenly a singer let out a shrill scream, and his body exploded with a 'bang'. The blood gathered into a streamline and flew towards 'Xia Li', and finally gathered into a blood-red sword in her hand.

She raised her greatsword and said proudly, "Foolish mortals, what use are you to me?"

"Noble Bloody Butcher!" Yasir shouted, "There is a way, we have a way! We are willing to turn into burning firewood and cover ourselves in blood-red for you! But please understand our dedication to Doclodes. When we die, please tear apart the void of space, let Chaos descend upon this place, and let war ravage the earth!"

"Lord Asa!"

"Lord Asa!"

When the people around heard that they were going to be killed, they immediately became angry.

"What are you still hesitating about?!" Asa glared at everyone angrily. "The mission His Majesty has entrusted us must be completed. Everything is for the Emperor's will. Any questioning voice will be considered a betrayal!"

The singers looked stern, and the determination on their faces became firm.

"For Your Majesty!"

"For His Majesty!"

Asa turned his head and said proudly, "Honorable Great Demon, please agree to our request!"

"You don't need to tell me this. War will inevitably transform into the will of Doclodes and sweep across the earth." 'Xia Li' transformed the blood sword into a blood ball and flicked it lightly. The blood exploded like fireworks, taking away the lost lives.

"I can sense the raging anger of this land... Doclodes once said that only great wars can bring him joy. Mortals, are the wars you wage for glory? Mission? Massacre? Or mission?"

Asa lowered his head and said respectfully, "This must be a great war. The emperor of the ancient country dedicated his eternal life to Doclodes in exchange for endless life. Only the song of blood and slaughter can allow him to gain a brief pleasure from the torment of death. This will also be an endless war. The will of the Blood God will forever loom over the sky of Augustus."

"..."

"..."

"Is this okay?!"

Ryan was stunned.

Good god, 'Xia Li' actually managed to bluff her way out of a shocking secret.

Ryan had thought before that if Creed was a member of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, then Kesha who was in Berman City was probably arranged by him.

The ultimate goal of Berman City seems to be the sacrifice that promotes war. If everything is controlled by the old emperor behind the scenes, then the one who craves war itself is actually the old emperor.

"Is this the way he found to prolong his life?"

Those gods naturally have ways to grant mortals longer lives, but the price must be terrible.

Professions are just walking on this path of faith and gaining strength from it. What pollutes people is the will of the outer gods rather than the strength itself. Therefore, even for extraordinary people who follow the path of faith in the four outer gods, except for some special professions that will cause damage to the body, most of them are no different from normal professions.

However, if you choose to actively dedicate your soul to the Outer Gods, that is a different story.

This kind of person must first be a transcendent who has the corresponding faith path, and then sacrifice his soul through special channels. It is not necessary to sacrifice to God, but once successful, he can obtain power far more powerful than that of an ordinary transcendent.

Correspondingly, the side effects may be beyond imagination. If you die, it won’t be a big deal, but a group of people will also suffer.

Why are the Chosen Ones considered noble?

Because when they obtain the power given by God, they do not need to bear such side effects. There is no other reason, it is mainly because God "likes" them.

However, it's said that gods with normal professional backgrounds wouldn't tolerate such things. Janus, for example, wouldn't do it. Otherwise, why are the Four Great Gods called Outer Gods and Evil Gods? If they do too many things that are unpleasant to others, their reputation will naturally be ruined... Oh, or maybe the gods don't care, they just want to have some fun.

In short, it now seems that the old emperor chose the latter between corruption and life, and because it is the Blood God Path, the price is probably not small.

"Hiss... Why do I smell a strong smell of 9's shit? Could it be that Lao Deng has been taken advantage of?"

Because someone from the Eye of Dawn and Dusk appeared, Ryan felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.

"Forget it. It's none of my business anyway. Let the old emperor shit himself in his pants. His reputation will surely be ruined in this life."

There is no doubt that the Augustus Empire was powerful, and the old emperor made an indelible contribution to this. Unfortunately, he could not resist the temptation before his death. Such an idiot does not deserve the loyalty of my grandfather Ryan.

Ryan thought about it and looked at the game interface. At this time, Asa and others started the sacrifice again.

They are going to sacrifice their lives for the war!

"What a bunch of lunatics."

That being said, this group of people are really loyal. Ryan actually feels a little inferior to them. You know, he has never lost to anyone in this regard.

Swish!

The blood-red beams of light were re-lit in the underground space. The singers stood up one by one, walked towards the altar with determined eyes, and then were killed by the power released by the formation. Their blood merged into the altar, making the blood light even more dazzling.

These singers are all very powerful, otherwise they would not be able to summon the Bloody Butcher, especially Asa. Ryan suspected that this guy was a fourth-level transcendent.

When even Asaph finally walked into the sacrificial formation, the power of the altar was activated again, and the bloody power merged into Xia Li's body.

【Your level has been raised to lv33.】

【Your level has been raised to lv34.】

【Your level has been raised to lv35.】

Three messages in a row made Ryan's eyelids jump.

This sacrifice upgrade is so cool, isn't it?!

"Maybe the sacrifice was of high quality. It seemed to be the same before. Anyway, it's definitely much faster than normal training."

No wonder so many people like to do evil things.

But Ryan felt that Charlie was doing justice.

"Doclodes, in accordance with their wishes, has brought war here."

After upgrading, 'Xia Li' took out the bloody greatsword and prepared to clear out the pagans in this stronghold. These were all singers, and there must be more blood bishops outside. They couldn't let these experiences get away... They couldn't let these pagans bring disaster to the world.

......

'Xia Li' went to fulfill the last wishes of Asa and others. Ryan switched to 'Lin Qi' and saw that the nun was cutting melons - a group of demons from the Blood God Legion rushed out of the other world, and the paladins were busy dealing with these guys.

The devil has come to the world, and this matter has slowly spread in the Western Territory.

Ryan was a little worried about Grand Duke Loli. The Iron Blood Legion had suffered heavy losses, and the Western Barbarian Army was still occupying the Talma front and had not withdrawn, and the Demon Legion was coming.

"We still need to develop our military strength."

There are only 3,000 people in Berman City at present, and they are still in training. If they really encounter the demon army, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Ryan was just thinking about it, but what he feared came true. 'Ina' soon came to report that the soldiers patrolling outside the city had discovered a crack in the other world, and demons were already wandering around.

Fortunately, the scale is not large and the city defense forces can handle it for the time being.

Ryan called Jonathan and asked the investigator to go over and take a look at the situation first. If the power inside was stable, they could slowly destroy the inner world by clearing out the demon army.

After notifying Jonathan, Ryan called Gluck and asked him to help train the soldiers for Berman City, and to train them according to the standards of the Iron Blood Legion.

Ryan was really eager to join the Iron Blood Army, but the Grand Duke himself was short of money. This time, he was only given a hundred cavalrymen to send over. Even though the Grand Duke was so concerned about his reputation, he still couldn't afford to give them away. It showed how embarrassed he was.

Since the Grand Duke couldn't send him, Ryan planned to train himself, since Gluck had nothing to do here anyway.

What? People say that Casradi is colluding with Maganna?

Oh, so what?

Ryan was a little worried before, but now? Haha~ Let's see if the old emperor will take care of it.

The old emperor was eager for Ryan to quickly expand his power in the south, so that the princess and the grand duke would mistakenly believe that they had the advantage and then turn against him at the critical moment.

This is exactly what he wants Ryan to do, so he doesn't need Ryan's loyalty at all. After all, the contract is equal. In the eyes of the old emperor, only Magna is his opponent, and Kasradi is just a by-product... As for Ryan? Ha~ What can a foreign minister with no power do?

The old emperor has complete confidence in Ryan. Sir Ryan, just fly and leave the rest to me.

It's just that the Iron Blood Army is a little slow to move out. Ryan is not short of money now, but training experience is something that money cannot buy, so he can only let Gluck grind it slowly.

Without troops, they couldn't do it. Ryan quickly called back 'Xia Li'. After she had just killed her way through the Blood Archbishop's stronghold in Yinfeng City, she immediately rushed to the train station and carried the train back overnight.

"Alas, we're starting to run out of manpower again."

'Lin Qi' and 'Weinei' are both developing outside. Normally it's fine as 'Xia Li' is enough. But now the demon army has begun to invade Augustus, and it will be difficult to have peace in the future.

Ryan opened Ina's character interface. Although many days had passed, Ina's level was only 11, and she hadn't even changed her job.

The main reason is that the secretary is busy with work, and the mayor is busy from morning to night and has no time to level up. There are no good careers to change jobs. Does he really have to change to a Soul Eater?

"I remember there seemed to be a very good hidden profession in the early stage of the game..."

"Oh yes!"

Ryan thought hard for a while and finally remembered a profession - Holy Spear Master.

This thing is an advancement of the lancer, following the path of Janus faith. Compared with ordinary lancers, it has higher damage and improved life-saving ability, because the Holy Lancer has a skill of invisibility, and the effect is not much different from Jack's ability.

And because it is a hidden profession obtained in the early stage, it is not difficult to obtain.

Ryan took out the map and studied it, and determined that the location should be at the junction of Kyles and Romannier, a place that the main line of the game will pass through heading north.

When the Caint army attacked the city of Berman, Casradi borrowed a thousand men from Romanil. Ryan vaguely remembered that they were in a ruin, but he still needed to look for the specific location.

He asked Ina to take 500 people and try to find the ruins.

There shouldn't be any danger in changing jobs, the main issue is whether you can find it.
