All the wanderers leave at the sa ti.
The earth trembles.
The air freshens.
Wow, no wonder people couldn't wait for us to leave.
Before long I officially et their leader.
The old man is especially kind.
Their philosophy is that any newcor should be welcod with open arms.
After all, it is with kindness not force that they will convince people to join them.
Slowly working the fields one will learn their way of life.
He does show us around the place.
Their sect is pretty big.
Not that many buildings, however.
There are wheat fields as far as the eye can see.
Also, the greenery is apple trees.
Everything is luscious and full of life.
I am already planning on what kind of apple pie I'll bake.
We are well received by everyone.
Our group is mingling without any issue.
Everyone loves good entertainnt from ti to ti.
Especially when said actors are humble and do help with things too.
I can see how relieved Gran is.
[See? Didn't I tell you that sotis things just work out?]
She just smiles happily.
The huge burden on her shoulders gone.
They are now having discussions.
Sothing about creating plays dedicated to the abundance goddess.
It gets everyone hyped.
There are tons of volunteers.
After a day of training, all are better actors than .
It sucks.
Anyway, it is part of the plan to get new followers.
They don't seem to mind that they are worshipping Sho.
It seems one can worship many deities.
It's just the faith power given becos minimal.
That is why most try to impose their supremacy.
As for , I open a new bakery.
A very small one.
One called "the old man's bakery".
With a big but simple sign.
I get the kid to help write it.
I get teased a lot about it, as I'm a young man myself.
But it doesn't matter.
Every ti I see it, it reminds of him.
I can't help but wonder how he is doing.
He probably has trouble farming haha.
Hell, maybe I should send him a letter.
So he could co here.
Not that he would.
His farm has a special aning in his heart.
I do feel at ease right now.
Weeks pass slowly.
I am just baking a few batches every day.
Then afterward I mostly laze around in the sun.
Wolfie doing the sa.
We have gotten a nickna.
The lazy dogs.
This is so inaccurate!
None of us are dogs!
There is also sothing very ironic.
Life is peaceful.
The continent has cald down quite a bit.
Rember that necromancer taking over a city?
People were expecting him to go wild.
To start a mad conquest with his undead army.
Nope, he hasn't moved at all.
Not doing anything remotely evil recently.
They are calling the place the City of the Sleeping Dead.
Cause nothing happens with it.
Just when we finally find a solution to our problem, it almost disappears.
Well, whatever.
At least we are comfortable now.
Kinda funny how awkward it must be.
Going from super high alert to never mind guys.
I'm pretty sure this could go from 0 to 100 again quickly.
It definitely made it so the war will happen sooner.
Sothing at so point will start it.
Then everything will blow up.
We will just remain here.
At first, I'm a bit worried.
After all, while this place is abundant it probably isn't that safe.
But then I talk to their leader.
He tells their goddess has a plan to turn this place into a fortress.
An impregnable one.
I excitingly ask him for details.
He doesn't know.
So sort of divine secret plan.
He's awaiting an oracle to know more.
He just got half the ssage so far.
I wonder what makes it that hard.
Communication between realms I an.
The gods are able to send us here easily.
Ah, but I guess summoning a mortal to their plane is the hard part.
The only issue is the gods are stuck in the god realm.
Kinda crazy how we as mortals have more freedom.
Are gods even interested in this place?
They want followers but is that it?
I'm sure it should be fun for them to wander here.
If I were a god, I'd definitely find a way to co down haha.
It is like going back to the newbie area after reaching max level.
There is a sense of accomplishnt.
You just one tap everything.
That does get boring quite fast, however.
Sotis it is how unreachable sothing is that gives it aning.
Right now we feel like we earned our place here.
Even if our very presence stemd from a coincidence.
We wouldn't be here without the wanderers.
We still had to go through this journey.
I can't help but be grateful to this goddess.
I feel like it's the first one that is actually simply nice.
I wonder what would have happened if I was summoned by her instead.
Maybe I would have just waited for her return.
Maybe I would have shown off with divine energy.
Maybe she would have taught .
Then I would have co down to the Earth realm.
Destroying everything in my way.
Unifying the continent under my banner.
Then after the war would have co peace.
A long-lasting peace.
I feel like this would have been possible.
I'm just thinking of all that could have been.
anwhile, I'm giving a prayer to her statue.
There is one in the center of the sect.
But there is also an indoor temple.
A more detailed one.
I am now sitting in front of it.
That is when I see soone else enter.
A kid that is bringing an offering to the goddess.
So food.
Funny how they used her power to grow that.
Now they are giving it back.
I need to agree it is pretty impressive.
I have seen the rate at which the crops grow here.
Even faster than weeds.
We silently keep praying.
I cannot wait until that new defense plan starts.
Hopefully, I will be able to contribute a bit.
I'm sure there is sothing I can accomplish using divine energy.
The future is bright and full of hopes. =)
