Evil God? My servants are players!

Guided by the tolling bells, the townspeople gathered in Hamlet's central square.

Even the residents hiding in the dungeon came out after receiving a notification from the Ice Adventure Team.

Meanwhile, Veronica and "Hyacinth" were still checking their accounts.

"Lady Hyacinth, what exactly do you mean by 'coexisting amicably' and 'surviving on the surface'?"

As a member of the nobility, Veronica only knew half of these things, and she was quite troubled at the moment.

"As you know, those spirits were cursed. They weren't actually resurrected, but rather the cursed."

"Their true appearance is now extremely hideous; even the appearance of the dead is a hundred times better than what they look like."

"So they need an identity that people won't dislike to walk on the surface. I hope you can support them. Just say they are the cursed townspeople."

"A resurrected being who has removed his disguise will be coming over in a little while. Just let the townspeople know when that happens."

"That's all."

"Hyacinth" explained.

"Is that all?" Veronica was incredulous at the 'Hyacinth's' request.

After all, she had seen many greedy businessmen, and it was rare to see someone who asked for nothing in return.

"That's all. After all, we're not bad people... You need to watch and study hard, and don't get distracted..."

Hyacinth quickly covered her mouth upon realizing what she had said.

"What?" Hyacinth's incoherent words filled Veronica with confusion.

"No, it's nothing." Hyacinth shook her head, took out a book and pretended to flip through it to cover up her embarrassment.

Seeing that Hyacinth had inadvertently revealed the private message he had sent her, Shen Yuan could only raise an eyebrow helplessly.

Since using the hyacinth as a "megaphone," Shen Yuan has also been thinking about whether he should continue to maintain his image in front of the hyacinth.

Shen Yuan's answer was to not maintain it.

After all, as a mouthpiece, its purpose is to convey Shen Yuan's words and thoughts.

Shen Yuan naturally no longer needed to maintain an image in front of Hyacinth.

So Shen Yuan stopped being stingy and would occasionally send private messages to Hyacinth to guide the little guy's growth.

Although the hyacinth no longer respects itself as much as before as the veil is lifted, the emotional energy it provides only increases.

This also shows that the hyacinths are more "devout" than before.

The players' "identity cards" have finally been settled.

As a noble paladin, Veronica is clearly someone who can have her cake and eat it too.

It can be said that the players' identities have been guaranteed in both religious and royal aspects, which is a win-win situation for everyone.

Although Shen Yuan still had some questions for Veronica, namely, what exactly was the current situation of the Empire.

But it was too late; the townspeople had already surrounded them, and Shen Yuan had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"Hyacinth, I'll be going now." Veronica stood up and said goodbye to Hyacinth.

Still feeling awkward, Hyacinth simply nodded, unaware that she was holding her book upside down.

Fortunately, Veronica didn't recognize Chinese characters and didn't notice that the hyacinth book was upside down.

After Veronica left, Hyacinth covered her face with her hands.

"My Lord God, please stop teasing me."

On the other side, Veronica stepped forward again amidst the expectant gazes of the townspeople.

She scanned the crowd below the stage and noticed that these residents had all undergone mutations to varying degrees.

"I forgot to tell Hyacinth about this. I hope she can really cure these residents," Veronica thought to herself.

Veronica then began to rebuild the collapsed order.

"Villagers! Hamlet has been struck by another catastrophe!"

"But now! The catastrophe is over, but we have paid a heavy price!"

"But hardship cannot defeat us!"

"We are still standing here! We still have hope! We will rebuild Hamlet, brick by brick!"

"Because we live here, this is our home!"

……

To be honest, Veronica's speech was weak and uninspired, but after repeatedly becoming a savior, Veronica herself represented hope.

Although her relinquishing the throne to the Earl of Hamlet was a stain.

But she was a million times better than those cunning nobles; even the thieves of the Frost Adventurers never said they hated Veronica.

After a "stimulating" speech, the townspeople expressed their willingness to follow Veronica's orders.

Order was restored in Hamlet.

Fortunately, among the surviving townspeople, there were still some local officials who were still of some use.

But establishing order requires more than just managers.

In the Middle Ages, or even in modern times, in most places, the first thing to do after a disaster is not to provide relief but to suppress unrest.

While the crisis was still ongoing, the townspeople were protected; after the crisis was over, they became the ones under surveillance.

Although the atmosphere in Hamlet Town is not bad now, under Veronica's leadership.

However, Veronica still urgently needs a force that can be deployed at will to keep watch over the townspeople and prevent any serious incidents.

Just as Veronica was preparing to choose the best among the worst and form a temporary militia.

An unexpected army appeared: goblins.

The goblins were preparing to return to the dungeon, and the two leading goblins were still chattering away.

Having witnessed the army's discipline and efficiency, Veronica suddenly had an idea: "Could we borrow Hyacinth?"

Once the idea came to mind, it became unstoppable.

After all, picking people from among the townspeople to deal with them sounds extremely unreliable.

Veronica would never have wanted to form such a militia if she hadn't been forced to.

Just do it.

"Alright! Everyone, go home for now! I'll send someone to let you know when there's work again! Also, stop eating that 'meat,' food will be available soon!"

After hastily ending her speech, Veronica went to Hyacinth to borrow a goblin.

"Why is there still a ceiling even though everything has been resolved?" Kukukaka said listlessly, staring at the dome.

"You can stay if you don't want to leave." Gili Gulu saw right through Kuku Kaka's little scheme.

"But I'm your right-hand man," Kukukaka said, glancing at the traveling frog.

"It's alright, consider it a discount. As your right-hand man, Jiaqi should be included." He mumbled the newly learned words in a pretentious manner.

"It's holidays and vacations," the traveling frog corrected.

"Yes, it's a holiday and a vacation. Go ahead, consider it your vacation," he said, babbling away.

"Really?! Then I'm really leaving!" Kukukaka quickly recovered from her earlier disappointment.

However, just as Kukukaka was about to leave, Hyacinth arrived at the door with Veronica.
