Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System - Chapter 647 - 275: First Temple Clear, Guard Recruitment
Chapter 647: Chapter 275: First Temple Clear, Guard Recruitment
The simple-minded Ancient Humans were deeply moved by the spirit of the Swamp Boggart sacrificing herself for others.
Coupled with the dramatic performances of these past few days, everyone had developed a strong affinity for the Swamp Sect and were thoroughly familiar with its doctrines.
This seemingly minor incident prompted dozens of residents to take that final step, naturally becoming believers of the Swamp Sect.
The moment they became believers, they sensed a vast, majestic, and inviolable divine presence suffuse their souls.
The great, eternal existence moved across endless space to gaze upon them.
Appreciation, affirmation… various emotions surged into their hearts.
This group of devotees was initially stunned, then incredulous, and finally moved to tears with excitement.
They felt it, they felt the gaze of the great Swamp God!!
Oh divine, the God actually saw them!!
What an honor, what a supreme honor!!
Many residents fell to their knees, faces flushed as they prayed loudly.
Their tones were full of devotion, and their attitudes were fervent, deeply moving the surrounding residents.
Watching their familiar companions pray just like the characters in the dramas, they subconsciously recited the prayer words along with them.
After the prayers were recited, they suddenly felt a sacred presence wash over them.
It was as if an existence dwelling among the endless stars glanced downward.
Though casual, the conveyed presence was extremely distinct.
The presence… was looking this way!!
Hearts trembled wildly.
Was that the Swamp God?
Did deities truly exist!!
Through these actions, the number of shallow believers surpassed a hundred!
Divine Spirits, these legendary existences… Even though the Immortal Temple had been constructed long ago, and even the village elders said it was the village’s sanctuary, protecting them when dark creatures attacked, becoming their Guardian God.
But… where are the dark creatures?
From childhood to adulthood, they lived in the village, never encountering any dark creatures.
Instead, they were troubled by animal bites, colds, fevers, and diseases.
Furthermore, prayers never received responses, and they couldn’t even sense the existence of the divine spirit they believed in…
Over time, even the elders became somewhat vague about the temple.
In comparison, the temple seemed more like a custom rather than a belief.
At this moment, the descent of a true divine spirit pierced souls and coursed through veins!
In comparison, the immortal deity they once believed in, who never responded and whose existence they could not perceive, seemed… not special at all.
The scales within began to quietly shift.
After the healing events, the lingering effects continued to ripple.
The Swamp Boggart took advantage, starting to heal other villagers with old injuries and diseases.
It appeared as if they were exchanging their Life Energy for the villagers’ health.
This scene moistened the eyes of many villagers… their inner faith deepened with their actions.
After everything was done, the crowd dispersed with emotions of excitement, and at this time, a young villager about eighteen or nineteen, with a hint of shyness, approached the Swamp Boggart.
“Hello… ladies, may I inquire about something?”
The ten Swamp Boggarts stopped in unison, their gazes fixed on him.
Confronted with this scene, the young man instinctively grasped the hem of his shirt, stammering.
“M-May I?”
The Swamp Boggart who had healed the villagers showed a gentle smile.
“Certainly, young Catanaro Warrior.”
The young man immediately displayed a joyful expression, instinctively straightening his posture.
Warrior—a term of respect for brave and fearless soldiers in the drama of the Swamp Hero.
Although he had never been to a battlefield, had never touched a longsword, his sharpest weapon was the hatchet he painstakingly sharpened to cut wood in the mountains.
But young boys, who doesn’t want to become a warrior leading armies, a general breaking formations and defeating enemies?!
“Greetings to you, bearers of the Swamp’s Radiance.”
The young man instinctively stood at attention, and then loudly saluted.
This was the greeting most appreciated by members of the Swamp Sect in the drama.
Sure enough, the expression of the other party grew even more soft.
“Warrior, what would you like to ask?”
“Madam, may I inquire… um…”
His face was tinged with both blush and reverence, as well as some shyness and humility.
“By believing in the great Swamp God, and becoming a bearer of the Swamp’s Radiance, can I join the army of Weilu City?”
The Swamp Boggart’s face showed some encouragement.
“That is a courageous action!”
“Weilu City always welcomes brave young men!”
“Can I really?!”
“To become a Warrior requires a tremendous price… young warrior, are you prepared?”
The young man immediately became excited.
His tone was firm.
“I am ready!”
Emulating the hero in the dramas, he suddenly knelt on one knee.
With his right hand pressed against his chest, he solemnly swore.
“Ness Orlando, vow to the great Swamp God, voluntarily becoming a bearer of the Sovereign’s Glory, worshiping the great Sovereign, I shall use my soul and life to guard the Swamp’s honor.”
“Fearless and unyielding, brave and resolute, advancing toward life through death!”
“I am willing to undertake the mission of spreading the Swamp’s Radiance, spreading My God’s splendor to the world.”
“I beseech Your compassion…”
The solemn oath resounded through the skies, and after a slight perception, the Swamp Boggart responded solemnly.
“Faithful believer, you should be bathed in the glory of My Lord!”
“In the name of a bearer of the Swamp’s Radiance, I declare the Swamp Sect officially accepts you as a believer, and hope you will continue to maintain your original intention, fighting for My God’s glory in the future!”
