Chapter 161: Chapter 135: Tracking the Prey_1


    For the young girls apanying Duanmu Huai, this was essentially their first real visit to an Isekai.


    Although Ann had previously visited the Imperial with Duanmu Huai, strictly speaking, the level of civilization there was not far off from Manaria and was quite simr. So, for Ann, it was less of a trip to an Isekai and more like going to another country.


    But this ce was entirely different.


    The architecture waspletely different, the civilization was entirely different; for the girls, everything was so fresh and interesting; at least, they had never seen anything like this before.


    “Mr. Knight, what’s this ck pane?”


    “It’s a television, you can watch programs on it.”


    “And what’s a program?”


    “Put simply, it’s a projected screen. You can see things happening in other ces while sitting at home.”


    “And this can be done without magic?!”


    “Mr. Knight, why is this carriage without a horse? And why is the front end pointed? Do people actually want such a carriage?”


    “That’s a sports car… In simple terms, it’s a vehicle that can run without a horse.”


    “And this operates without a horse? Does this world really not have magic?!”


    Different people had different things that caught their attention.


    For instance, at the moment, Ogis was curiously examining the Barbie dolls in the toy shop. She did not understand the purpose of these palm-sized puppets.


    “Master, what are these puppets used for?”


    “They’re simply used by children for ying, like changing clothes or ying house and so forth…”


    “So, are you saying that people in this world like to change clothes for their dolls?”


    “Er………”


    Facing Ogis’s curious eyes, Duanmu Huai was momentarily at a loss for words.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Although, strictly speaking, what she said wasn’t wrong.


    Ann had even more questions, ranging from ‘how can light be produced without magic’ to ‘how it is possible to fly in the sky without magic’. In response to this, Duanmu Huai just handed her a bunch of encyclopedias and told her to flip through the ‘100,000 Whys’ by herself, with not much else to say.


    On the other hand, Lorena’s perspective was quite unique. Upon seeing the divine statues of this world, she curiously asked Duanmu Huai why the deities of this world did not save their followers. When she found out that this had no deities to safeguard it, Lorena looked at Duanmu Huai in disbelief, her eyes wide.


    “If there are no deities to protect and guide them, why would they pray to the deities? What purpose does the church serve?”


    Well…this question was a real killer…


    Actually, Duanmu Huai had encountered simr situations several times in the game. These situations revolved around the conflict between the technological civilizations without the protection of deities and the religious civilizations protected by deities. These technological civilizations often fabricate deities for worship, a practice not understood by most civilizations protected by authentic deities.


    Perhaps to the worlds without the protection of deities, the existence of deities justified their faith and devotion, and the majority of them were ecstatic.


    But to civilizations under the protection of deities, this wasughable. The tolerant ones may not understand or may take it as a joke, however, if they take it to heart, they might justunch a religious war and wipe out these idiots.


    In the game, Duanmu Huai had taken on simr recruitment tasks, aiming to eliminate the religious forces of a world without the protection of deities. The reason given by the recruiter was simple – you clearly do not have the protection of deities, yet you fabricate one and im it is omnipotent and omnipresent, how is that not heresy?


    Of course, it could be argued that these idiotic religious figures were asking for it. Upon knowing the existence of the true God, they instantly celebrated in ecstasy, hastily dering that the deity they worshipped is the same as this true God, only with a different name. This urrence in the religion-less world is quitemon.


    But when the religious civilization found about this, they were instantly furious. To them, this was nothing but dregs heaping gold on their face which was simr to a vagrant running around in a pce, iming to be the illegitimate child of the emperor.


    If they did not wipe out your nine generations, it would be strange!!


    As a result, that religious civilizationmissioned Duanmu Huai and other yers to directly eliminate this idiotic religious force. They were toozy to take the matter into their own hands. It would be too humiliating for the prince himself to deal with a vagrant, right?


    Later, when the yers stormed their headquarters, these religious figures were incredibly aggrieved, saying ‘we are devout believers, we believe in the same God, why do you treat us this way…’


    Besides, there were instances where counterfeit meets the original. Some factions liked to use religion as a disguise, brainwashing their followers to loot and kill. The yers once got involved in such a war. At that time, a religious civilization was invaded by another civilization. The invaders shouted slogans of eliminating false gods for the true God with fervour and killed ruthlessly, but in the end, they were weak as hell. Everyone just stormed into their mother like cutting through vegetables, only to find out that their so-called ‘true god’ was nothing but mutants corrupted by spiritual energy with four eyes. This stuff is sold by the ton in the Hive City Underground, okay?
