Guild Wars

When it was done, the church looked like a cross between Notre Dame and St. Peter\'s Basilica, but glowing with a resplendent magical and holy light that the previous two lacked.

Eva floated downwards to the entrance of the church and pushed the door open. Once she did, she was greeted by a surge of energy that came together to form an apparition.

The apparition was that of a young-looking altar boy, whose eyes showed kindness and obedience for his elders. He bowed to Eva respectfully and greeted her.

"Hello, beautiful big sister. My name is John, and I am the spirit of the church. How can I help you?"

Eva smiled. "Hello John, I was the one who ordered the construction of this church. I want to know what features it has at this Rank."

The apparition\'s seemed surprised. After all, he was just born and had yet to be activated properly, so he was a bit ignorant. After a few seconds, he seemed to verify something and bowed even lower.

"Forgive my lack of knowledge, Madam Pope. I will lead you to the altar so you can activate and control the church fully."

Eva nodded and followed John through the large and winding hallways of the church. This place was big enough for thousands of people to fit into without feeling crowded.

Eva entered through a large archway and was admitted to what should be the largest chamber of the building, the altar room. Here, she saw a podium in the center with a raised dais, likely the place for the preacher to do his work.

There was a space to the north-east for the choir, with a stage and a large organ piano with tubes so long they reached the sky. To the north west was a door that led to the personal office of the Pope as well as the waiting room for the preachers.

On each side of the hall, from north to south, there were many small platforms with spaces for either a bust, or a stature to be placed along with a name-plaque.

In the middle were obviously the pews for the congregation to sit and listen to the religious ongoings for the session.

John turned to Eva and spoke. "This is the main hall for the Main God of the church, and the busts on the side are for the Follower Gods of the Main Deity. There are other halls for other god that are adjacent, but their sizes with decreasing importance of the god in question."

Eva basically understood how the church operated from that small introduction. This left her interested, but a Rank 7 building couldn\'t be so simple.

John seemed to predict her thoughts and smiled. "Please check this, Madam Pope."

｢Rank 7 Church benefits:

- All genuine worshipers of any God will gain 1% of that God\'s basic stats.

- During preaching, all worshipers have a chance to gain enlightenment on any of their skills, techniques or abilities and achieve mastery.

- During preaching, all worshipers have a chance to comprehend one skill or technique belonging to their god.

- Following a Main God will allow a worshiper to pick up to 3 Follower Gods to worship as well. Each Follower God bestows their best stat to the worshiper.

- Upon conversion from a non-believer, a new worshiper gains a blessing from the Main God, set by the Main God themselves.

- When a mass is being held, the church will generate clean energy that will wash the body of all those in attendance with genuine faith. NPCs gain increased stats and longer life while players gain 7 day long buffs to HP, Mana and Stamina depending on the power of the Main God.

- The Holy Spirit of the Main God protects his believers. Once a week, when mass is held, all worshipers will be bestowed with a Holy Spirit fragments in their souls, allowing them to enter the promised land of their Main God after death. For NPCs, they enjoy an afterlife and a chance for resurrection. For players, they do not face any penalties nor drop any items - even items that are sure to drop - one time.

- Belief in a Main God allows any player to be able to class up into an \'Angel\' Class that is up to one Rank below that of the Main God for free once a week.

- Belief in a Main God allows NPCs to store their extra experience when they reach the level cap and Rank Up in the presence of the church to increase the quality of their promotion.｣

Eva looked through and nodded. These benefits were more than enough to get people coming here to worship. Whether NPC or player, Eva suspected that the church should be chock-full soon.

Since she was here, she wakled to the spot of the Main God and saw the activation method. She activated the entire Rank 7 building and bound it to herself.

Before she could even arrange things, a prompt came up.

｢Detected the presence of a complimentary Tradeskill and building.

Would the player like to merge the two? Y/N｣

Eva was surprised and chose yes. Immediately, a white light flashed before her and her 222 papal assistants from the Personal Altar appeared before her. They expressed confusion for a moment but were updated by the world as to what was going on.

Seeing that the Pope had already prepared a Rank 7 church, they were first shocked then remembered how she was also a Goddess. They bowed to Eva in salute once more, and then spread out to control the main altar. John by the side was shocked, but he didn\'t say anything as he was also updated by the world.

Eva though, smiled.

It was time to set up the system of worship.

............…

Shuangtian was walking towards the Goddess Descendants area in the core of Vita Kingdom. As she walked through the wide and bustling roads, she couldn\'t help but sigh.

According to Draco\'s memories, this place used to be very thin and quiet, as there was a huge space but not enough living beings. However, due to Vita Kingdom\'s insane reproduction boon, the past three years had seen the population surge by almost three to four times.

What was crazy was that rather than toddlers, most of what Shuangtian saw were teens. After all, the reproduction boon also sped up growth, by 500% to be exact. So in one year, a child grew by five years physically and mentally.

Since Vita had been a City for more than 3 years, most of the kids were teens or pre-puberty brats. However, their education and growth was not a problem with the Rank 7 Academy.

It could easily teach and educate these fellows despite their growth buff, and even make them better than their peers in other places. Right now it was recess, that was why she saw so many of them around.

They too rushed over to Shuangtian and pestered her, especially the young boys who were entranced by her beautiful and sexy body. Shuangtian rolled her eyes and decided to humor them, inadvertently becoming the first crush of hundreds of young boys.

She eventually left and reached her goal, the group of village manors that had previously been meant for guests. Before she got there, the former City Lords greeted Shuangtian, led by Vishad the lizard man.

They were not too familiar with her, but Shuangtian knew all about them through Draco\'s memories, so she was genial to them. This caused the City Lords to feel flattered, and they did their best to assist her.

Shuangtian went to the specific manor Draco had stayed in, the former Evergreen Manor. It was still the same as always, and one could see a humble brown skinned maid humming as she happily cleaned the front.

When Shuangtian saw her, she wrung her lips. This was obviously Doris, that pure human maid who liked to be fucked to near death. She had been crippled by Draco many times after she seduced him, but she was fine to this day.

Surprisingly, Shuangtian also saw a young goatman in a butler uniform who was helping maintain the building. She did not know him from Draco\'s memories, so he must be new.

Doris saw Shuangtian and was stunned by her beauty, before coming to assist her. When she heard that Shuangtian wanted to visit the Tradeskill library, she nodded and called the goatman butler over.

She didn\'t bother to ask Shaungtian\'s identity because anyone who could enter the core section was one of their people.

The goatman rushed over and greeted Shuangtian.

"Hello Madam Shuangtian, my name is Hassan, how can I be of service?" he asked with an excited bow.

Shuangtian was surprised. "You know me?"

"Of course, you are Lord Draco\'s Soulmate." Hassan smiled as she revealed.

Doris by the side was shocked, and couldn\'t help but reminisce the best times of her life. Her eyes shone and she glanced at Shuangtian with envy.

Being Draco\'s soulmate, it meant she could have her lower body destroyed whenever she wished, right? How enviable!

Shuangtian\'s lips twitched as she sensed Doris thoughts, but knew already that there was something fundamentally wrong with this woman anyway.

"Who are you to Hoover?" Shuangtian asked curiously.

"He\'s my big brother!" Hassan admitted with a proud grin.

Shuangtian nodded. "Lead the way then."

Hassan nodded and took Shuangtian into the manor and through the hallways to the door of the Tradeskill library. She paused the door open and entered, leaving Hassan behind to guard the entrance.

Shuangtian looked around and noticed that it was the same as Draco had encountered back then, being around the size of a standard small-scale public library on earth, and the shelves were decorated with neatly arranged books, scrolls, and blueprints.

The entire shelves were made of a Divine-tier, teak-like wood that glowed with wisps of Divine Energy. Shuangtian knew from Draco\'s memories that this was done by Norma to preserve the books held within against the evils of aging and depreciation.

The softwood floor was familiar, made of pine-like polished wood that was carved into slats. It was arranged in a clean manner and gave one the feel of stepping on nature itself.

There were obviously no windows, as rapid and serious deterioration of paper was caused by the oxidation of cellulose brought about by the ultraviolet rays in sunlight or fluorescent light.

This was mostly due to the temperature and relative humidity changes, so the best answer was to set up many runes which were carved into the walls that handled airflow and temperature, keeping it a level just perfect for reading and preservation.

Along with that, there were also runes for noise cancellation, suppression, fire prevention and protection.

This was a library that had been carefully manufactured and was built to last the ages.

Shuangtian couldn\'t help but feel the effort that Norma had put in to achieve this. She gave a mental salute to the Refinement Goddess and then began browsing through the many Tradeskills here to find one suitable for her.

The choices were plentiful and varied, but Shuangtian soon smiled as he picked a particular book out and knew that this was the one.

｢System to Player Announcement

Skills selected from the Tradeskill Library can only be learned once and used personally. An unlimited amount of Common Tradeskills can be selected. Alternatively, 30 Advanced Tradeskills can be chosen or 5 Epic Tradeskills or 2 Legendary Tradeskills.

One can choose only one of these types. If Advanced Tradeskills are selected, Common, Epic, and Legendary Tradeskills cannot be chosen. The same restrictions apply to the other Ranks.

Are you sure you wish to proceed?

Y/N ｣

Shuangtian saw this and knew these were the rules had Norma set, so she didn\'t go against them. Norma knew better than they did about Tradeskills and how to regulate them.
