CHAPTER 237: CHAPTER 208: A CITY RESEMBLING THE DIVINE KINGDOM... (4K) (ADDITIONAL CHAPTER 7)

Five days.

Five consecutive days!

For five days in a row, Xiaoguoren spent her time in worry and tension.

She is a Cat-man, from the Eternal Freeze Court.

Originally, she was from a subordinate plane under a noble of the Eternal Freeze Court. Later, she was captured and became a slave, sold to the Chieftain of the Holy Life Alliance Jackal-Wolf Tribe.

Her five years of darkness began.

That inherently brutal Jackal Wolfman would only madly torment her and devoured her twelve children born over five years, citing that the bloodline of a Jackal Wolfman must not be impure.

When her youngest daughter was dismembered and eaten by other tribe members at two months old, she killed the Jackal-Wolf Chieftain one night using poison ivy.

And when she thought she would be humiliated and then torn apart by the Jackal-Wolfmen the next day, a Priest saved her and took her back.

This was a human deity—The Beginning of Hope’s priest.

"You have a strong sense of hope within you, it’s just a pity you are not a virgin, otherwise, you could serve Our Lord together." The young priest said.

So Xiaoguoren stayed behind, working for the priest in the Deep Abyss’s Divine Hall of Hope.

Fortunately, this priest was powerful enough to protect her.

But unfortunately, they fell in love.

The Beginning of Hope, the human deity, is essentially the "Child God," who a millennium ago, expanded their divine jurisdiction to comprehend more laws.

The doctrine of The Beginning of Hope is to have people be as filled with hope as children, with the core principle of remaining chaste.

Their thoughts should be focused on matters concerning children.

Their powers should be used to protect the pure-hearted as children.

Therefore, when the priest’s heart harbored love, his Divine Power was immediately sealed.

It didn’t matter much, for the priest was already captivated by love, and being unable to advance was insignificant to him.

However, just as they were holding hands, kissing, they were discovered by the Great Priest and ordered to execute the priest.

Execute!

Daring to commit such acts in the Abyss, under the eyes of the deity, deserved execution!

However, since Xiaoguoren was not part of the Divine Hall, the Great Priest had no authority over her, merely expelling her from the hall.

This was reasonable; in the plane where she once lived, not only the priest would be executed, but she would also accompany as a funeral, implicating her family and more.

This was the privilege of Naseng.

However, she was not happy.

"Live well."

Those were the words the priest said the last time they met.

On the first day after the priest’s death, she was heartbroken, by the hundredth day, she was despondent, by the fifth year, she lost all hope for life, like a living corpse.

Then, she saw a newspaper.

Twenty-four words, twelve phrases, three aspects. (Prevention of harmonization, everyone knows.)

These words distilled from power, society, and personal levels described Great Wilderness City best.

And on the newspaper, there was a description of the core philosophy of Great Wilderness City:

Great Wilderness City is wealthy and powerful, a civilized and harmonious power, and people here have a certain degree of autonomy.

In it, everyone is born equal, no hierarchy of nobility or plebeian, everyone can enjoy freedom under the rule of law, and the enforcers are just.

And the people living in Great Wilderness City respect each other, as well as respect all professions, being honest and friendly.

Seeing the description of Great Wilderness on the newspaper, Xiaoguoren was stunned.

She had never heard of such a place!

Even the kindest lord couldn’t achieve that?!

Even the hypocritical deities couldn’t achieve that!

Even Xiaoguoren’s hometown, that subordinate plane, couldn’t compare to the most beautiful Divine Kingdoms described by those lower-ranked deities.

But if it was Count Lin Ke, who at six could oppose the Eldest Prince, that wise Count Lin Ke even praised by His Majesty Insomnia, then it might be possible...

Sitting in a tavern drinking malt wine, Xiaoguoren was tempted.

She didn’t want to live muddled anymore!

She wanted to live well with the priest’s legacy!

So, almost every small month, she would buy a newspaper, and after reading the news of Great Wilderness City on the spot, she would sell the newspaper at the door for one silver coin less.

She was saving money!

Determined, Xiaoguoren would save money until the day comes!

Because the newspaper said that only Azanen Coins could be used in Great Wilderness City, and such Azanen Coins needed a certain exchange rate.

There, buying anything required payment, even Count Lin Ke as a lord was the same.

Even houses there need to be bought with money!

It’s just that for some poor civilians, the Great Wilderness Bank also provides loan services, with interest-free loans for buying a house, and paying back a part every small month later.

These measures are similar to the Divine Hall of Wealth, yet subtly and essentially different.

But Xiaoguoren didn’t want to borrow money, so she decided to save money! Then buy a house of her own, work well over there, and leave this heart-saddening Abyss.

So she crazily took missions, crazily made money.

She was an [Assassin]!

A level-three [Assassin]!

Taking missions at the Mercenary Guild, she joined an organization called "Scarlet Wilderness" a few years ago, where besides taking missions, she also sold information.
