Chapter 655: Gabriel's Information
"What? They believe in me?"
This was something Loren hadn't anticipated. Logically speaking, the believers of the Perpetual Observer outside of the Merfolk should have been wiped out by the Orthodox Gods long ago. How could there possibly be a village on some small island still worshiping him?
This place wasn't even particularly remote, had no Protective Wards of any kind, and wasn't even that far from the God of Light and Fire's territory. There was no way it could have survived for long.
Of course, it was also possible that they had heard about Loren's deeds and changed their faith. People on these small islands typically worshiped the Sea God, but switching faiths wasn't something they found hard to accept.
If the Sea God was strong today, they'd believe in the Sea God; if the God of Light and Fire's people showed up tomorrow, they'd believe in the God of Light and Fire; if the day after tomorrow they learned Loren had screwed over the God of Light and Fire, they'd simply switch to believing in the Perpetual Observer.
That was the most likely scenario, but out of curiosity, Loren still wanted to go check things out.
Even if they had temporarily changed faiths, the risk was still enormous. Believing in the Perpetual Observer meant making enemies of all the Orthodox Gods. Normal people wouldn't do that.
"Let's go take a look. Laila, grab the arrows I just made. We might even get a chance to test them out."
"Alright."
