Chapter 1844: Not Even Sparing the Pigs
At this time, Xi had already learned that there were hunters coming to target her from Samsara Paradise, but she didn't care at all. She was very confident in her own strength, and she also had powerful Northern Alliance cavalry under her command. She had suffered from the loss of her teammates and died at the hands of those two guys in Samsara Paradise. They should come.
"Bai Ye, Chi You... don't let me catch them, otherwise..." Xi guessed in her heart that if nothing unexpected happened, these two guys would be recruited by the Samsara Paradise. She deliberately left a medium for the hunters of the Samsara Paradise to lock on to the world she was in.
Xi didn't know yet that in the rear of the Northern Alliance, the base she felt she relied on was about to be pried away.
The climate environment of the extremely cold land is not only located in the high latitudes of this continent, but also has an important factor in the terrain. The icebergs here form a natural barrier that blocks the flow of warm air and limits the spread of heat. This causes the cold air to stay in the area longer, further lowering the temperature. At the same time, it also leaves a very small environment for people to survive.
The land is covered with thick ice and snow all year round, forming a vast world of ice and snow. This land covered with ice and snow hinders the heating and heat release of the ground, making the environment always cold. At the same time, ice and snow also have the property of reflecting solar radiation, further lowering the temperature in the area. A vicious cycle has been formed.
The houses of the locals are designed to effectively isolate the cold outside. They have thick wood and stone walls to provide insulation and keep the indoor temperature relatively stable. In order to prevent freezing and wind, their houses are built very thickly, with multiple doors and windows.
Lin Jiu saw the buildings in the Newland District. Most of them were wooden houses with two floors, and the upper floor was where people lived. The houses of the Northern Alliance residents had a layer of wood on the ground, and then covered with animal skins, which could prevent the cold from penetrating to a certain extent. There was a stove in the middle of the wooden house, and there was an iron grill on the stove for roasting meat.
Their means of transportation is a sled pulled by polar boars. This kind of boar is the most numerous animal in the extreme cold region, but it is not food for the residents of the Northern Alliance, but serves as a mount. The most powerful army of the Northern Alliance is the boar cavalry formed together with the polar boars.
There are different branches in this huge population of polar boars, and the differences are huge. Some polar boars are only the size of mounts, while others are polar giant boars that can knock down the walls of empires. The main food for people in extremely cold regions is to hunt those ferocious beasts.
The Newland District has undergone tremendous changes from before. The doors and walls of every household are branded with the image of the sun totem. The originally deserted streets have become lively, and the faces of the people coming and going are filled with joyful smiles. The bone-chilling cold wind can no longer make them feel cold.
The fire pattern on their bodies contained the power of the sun, allowing the sun to shine directly on them. This was an experience they had never had before. While warming their bodies and minds, it also made them stronger. At least 50% of the polar people who were branded with the fire pattern totem had mastered the power of the sun flame.
In the square at the center of the city, a high platform was built with ice bricks. A young man wearing a white robe with a sun totem pattern looked at the believers who were gathering below with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, live towards the sun, walk after the light. When the sun is shining in the sky, everything comes to life. When there is light in your heart, everything is bright. We, the Sun Church, should pass on the sun's light to every fellow citizen who is in the cold!" Lin Jiu used this title to play a role, just like turning on a speech plug-in with a mustache. He didn't need to say anything profound to attract believers. And when facing these believers who have become Sun Warriors, the feedback he received was even stronger.
"Praise the sun!" The shouts of tens of thousands of people suddenly resounded throughout the city, shaking the ground.
The Northern Alliance has 17 districts with a total population of more than 4 million. Excluding the hundreds of thousands of Alliance fighters, there are still more than 3 million people. The Newland District has a population of about 200,000, less than one-tenth of the total.
The city where Lin Jiu was located was only a larger city in the Newland District, not the entire Newland District. What he had to do next was to illuminate every resident of the entire Newland District with the sun's light.
Now all residents of this city are believers of the Church of the Sun. They have the Fire Emblem Totem and are no longer troubled by the cold. The Fire Emblem also gives them more powerful power, allowing them to hunt polar creatures and obtain food. In addition, with the influence of the title of "Son of the Sun", they are all developing towards the direction of fanatical believers.
In order to quickly improve his favorability, Lin Jiu also modified a weakened version of the Fire Emblem Totem that can be branded on children. How could the Northern Alliance's cruel selection of children be because of the cruelty of the parents? It was just that in this extremely harsh environment, children with weak constitutions could not survive at all, and it would also compress their living space, so they had to choose this method.
Now with Lin Jiu's weakened version of the Fire Emblem Totem, they can imprint it on their children from an early age, so that they will not be affected by this environment. Parents' recognition of the Church of the Sun has rapidly increased.
Children who have been branded with the Fire Emblem Totem since childhood will definitely be fanatics of the sun when they grow up. Compared with the original totem, Lin Jiu's Fire Emblem Totem is an extremely special product. It doesn't matter how strong or weak it is at the beginning. Even the weakest Fire Emblem Totem will become stronger as the faith increases. Even the strongest Fire Emblem Totem will gradually disappear due to abandonment of faith.
Therefore, Lin Jiu unreservedly taught every believer the method of mobilizing the power of the sun and branding the fire pattern totem. It can even be said that the first thing to learn when joining the Sun Church is the method of making the fire pattern totem.
The method is divided into two steps. The first step is to mobilize the sun power in your body to perform the fire pattern imprint according to the fire pattern totem energy circuit taught in detail by Lin Jiu. The second step is to maintain a devout faith in the process. The former is to leave a seed of sun power in the branded person, and the latter is to integrate the power of faith into it. The combination of the two forms a complete fire pattern totem.
You don’t think that the tens of thousands of people in this urban area were converted by Lin Jiu’s preaching one by one. He must have used the method of developing downlines to spread the influence of the Sun Church like a virus.
The Fire Pattern Totem is spread from person to person, but the strength increase has nothing to do with the order in which it is passed on. What is relevant is pure faith, which will gradually affect the Fire Pattern Totem, making it more attractive to the external power of the sun, and in turn strengthening itself.
To put it simply and crudely, the more fanatical the belief, the stronger the Fire Emblem Totem will be. Some people may not be able to survive soon, and they will benefit from the Church of the Sun, so the power of faith they contribute will definitely be stronger; some people live a good life, so the Fire Emblem Totem will not be that strong. I don't think that the living environment of the upper and lower levels of the Northern Alliance will be the same.
However, in this harsh and extremely cold environment, the vast majority of people face the difficult situation of surviving, which is also the soil for the rapid development of the Church of the Sun.
Within a few days, the city where Lin Jiu lived became the territory of the Sun Church. Those residents who had mastered the method of branding the fire pattern totem did not even let go of the polar wild boars in the city. The polar wild boars with thick skin and flesh soon turned into fire pigs that could spit fire.
