Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

It was a strange feeling; both native inhabitants and players felt their hearts flutter.

Saintess Enya was the first to kneel down.

Then came the council of elders.

Finally, all the indigenous people present.

The players stood there, bewildered.

“Jelagand, page 3, line 5”.

"In the beginning, Kjerag was inhabited only by a band of wild men, until he lifted his head from the mountains."

"He took human form and lived with the wildlings. The wildlings feared his power and revered him as a god."

"More and more people gathered around Him, and so, Khelag was born, and He was the first king of Khelag."

"Under His leadership, Kjerag flourished and grew ever more prosperous."

"By Yelagund!"

The elders and the saint began reciting verses from the Jeragunda.

All the inhabitants of the Snowlands know that the Snowlands' god, Yeragand, has once again performed a miracle.

No, this is no longer just a simple miracle.

He has already come.

Everyone could feel that a supernatural being was calmly watching them.

……

It's not just the sacred mountain.

Within Shelag, all the Shelag people felt this faith, which originated from their blood, being revived.

Devout believers knelt down one after another.

SilverAsh and the others, who had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, quickened their pace of climbing.

"What on earth... happened?"

"I don't know, maybe it was a miracle?"

"Why can we also feel this sense of sacredness?"

Do gods really exist?

"Perhaps in this game, the NPCs' beliefs are not feudal superstition, but because the gods really exist..."

The players gradually realized why these devout believers glared at them and their favorability and reputation plummeted when they said strange things here in the past.

……

Enya was unaware of the players' thoughts, but under everyone's gaze, she slowly stood up.

Her hair moved without wind, and then, she lifted her toes off the ground and slowly floated up.

The girl opened her arms, tilted her head back, and the bright sunlight shone on her face.

“She is Jeragund’s representative on earth; she is Jeragund’s supreme incarnation atop the mountains.”

The Snow Realm people knelt down once again.

They all knew that at this moment, the saintess was no longer just a saintess.

Their god appeared before them in the form of the saintess.

Under everyone's gaze, the saint gently opened her mouth.

She didn't make a sound, but everyone in the Snowfield heard her:

Thousands of years ago, I was born on this land, named it Shelag, and have always protected it.

However, this land is not home to only one country, Shelag.

Beyond these snow-capped mountains lies a vast world, home to people of different appearances, languages, and beliefs.

In the past, children, you had huge disagreements about how to approach such people.

However, I don't want my child to stagnate.

Do not let attachment to the old prevent you from trying new things; you are my people, you should be full of courage.

Do not let longing for your homeland prevent you from exploring new lands; wherever you are, I am with you.

Don't refrain from taking risks just because you already possess wealth; you could have amassed even greater wealth.

After speaking, the saintess slowly landed on the ground.

She opened her eyes and looked at the Snowman kneeling on one knee and the players who were standing there in a daze.

Enya spoke in her own voice: "Yeragand is inclusive. Therefore, the land He protects should be inclusive, and His people should be even more inclusive."

"Yes."

Those present bowed their heads, listening to the teachings of the saint and the gods.

-------------------------------------

"She speaks very well! She truly deserves to be my saintess."

In the distance, out of sight of others, Bai Ye and Yela stood together, watching the scene unfolding atop the Holy Mountain.

Yera was clearly delighted, after all, this was her saint and her friend.

“Indeed, she came up with all of this herself; you merely relayed her voice.” Bai Ye also praised Enya’s outstanding performance.

Then, he lowered his hand.

The wind that made Miss Enya float away was clearly released by him.

So it can be said that Jeragund did indeed manifest, but not completely.

All of this is a perfect combination of technology and hard work.

However, the Snow Realm people's faith is deeply rooted and unshakable.

Even though Manjusaka was corrupt, their faith in Jeragand never dimmed.

That's why the plan was so successful.

"Poor SilverAsh, the thing he's been planning all along has been resolved so simply by a single sentence from you and the Saintess."

Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter 108 The Stubborn Sister-Complex

"I'm so tired..." Bai Ye stretched.

Although the process wasn't too complicated, the battle with Miss Jian alone consumed a lot of his energy and mental strength.

The price of superhuman strength and agility is superhuman energy consumption.

Before the transmigration, as a player, I was more like a game in this regard. Apart from the limitation of the stamina bar, players were basically perpetual motion machines, always able to maintain a high output at the same level.

However, now that Bai Ye possesses a physical body, he usually carries high-calorie food to replenish his energy. Fortunately, he has a sweet tooth, so this food happens to suit his taste and he doesn't feel any resistance to it.

Physically, things are alright, but mentally, it can only be recovered slowly through one's own attributes.

As he popped a piece of chocolate into his mouth, Bai Ye casually handed some to Yela.

"Boss, how's our work going?" W walked over with her subordinates.

The John Gang mercenaries, specifically there to take the blame, have been abandoned, and the remaining Sarkaz are unharmed. Well, the drones were lost quite badly, though.

However, SilverAsh can foot the bill for all of this, since the company that monopolizes the entire Sherag foreign trade industry is essentially SilverAsh's private enterprise.

Moreover, SilverAsh himself suffered considerable losses, having released almost all of the Fanged Beasts he had secretly kept.

The Fanged Beast is a special type of canine, a local breed domesticated by researchers under SilverAsh who imported hunting dogs from other regions. It has strong cold resistance and is more robust.

It can be considered a different kind of BOW.

However, despite his clandestine actions, SilverAsh's little tricks could not escape the notice of Yeragand, the God of Snow.

After learning that the gods truly existed, SilverAsh indeed became much more restrained, releasing the Fanged Beasts this time without regard for the cost. Since the original objective had already been achieved, there was no point in raising too many of these creatures.

In fact, besides the Fanged Beasts, SilverAsh also has a private armed force. SilverAsh sent this army to Ascala County in Victoria for intensive training, where they were equipped with modern equipment provided by Raytheon Industries.

In contrast, the garrison in Shelag was commanded by the conservative Perochi family. Bai Ye looked down on them completely, because such an army was outdated, conservative, and poorly equipped; they couldn't even defeat a small group of mercenaries.

"Does it feel good to bully the natives? Do you feel like you're something special?" Bai Ye glanced at W sideways. Then, he smiled and said, "Well done, you can all go and rest now, but you still have to follow the rules."

As agreed, Bai Ye gave the mercenaries a few days off. The so-called rules were regulations he set for them: no boasting, no causing trouble, and no harming the innocent.

"Yes, boss!" W gave a very poorly executed Victorian salute, then left with his men.

Bai Ye then saw Yin Hui climbing to the top of the mountain.

"Mr. Shivaash, how are you feeling? You have a nice little sister." Bai Ye looked at SilverAsh with a smile.

SilverAsh first bowed to Yela, who was sitting next to Bai Ye, then turned to look at Bai Ye: "Just call me by my name... As for my sister, she is indeed very capable. I have underestimated her all these years."

Bai Ye sensed that the guy was wary in his words. Clearly, this guy seemed quite serious, but he might secretly be a sister-complex.

Bai Ye decided to tease him.

"Yes, Miss Enya is indeed very good," Bai Ye said, feigning nonchalance.

As expected, SilverAsh became alert instantly upon hearing this.

Bai Ye felt a sharp gaze faintly directed at him.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I really have no feelings for your sister, so you don't need to look at me like that!" Bai Ye laughed, patting Yin Hui on the shoulder and bringing the topic to the forefront.

"Tsk, it wasn't me, it was Tenzin looking at you." SilverAsh immediately denied it.

Tenzin: ? ?

Standing on the bird perch, Tenzin was completely bewildered. Although he didn't know why he had been mentioned, his instincts made him feel very uncomfortable, so the feathered beast flew away.

"However, I didn't expect you to have kept this hidden so well."

What SilverAsh was referring to was, of course, White Night's strength.

Most of the records of White Night's actions are in Chernobog, and the witnesses are mostly infected soldiers from the Reunion Movement who don't go around talking about it. Therefore, SilverAsh didn't even know that White Night was so strong.

"These days, you need to have some strength to survive, otherwise it's too dangerous. You know, this land can eat people." Bai Ye shrugged.

SilverAsh looked completely unconvinced. "You call that having some strength?"

Keep in mind that the Black Knight he acquired at great expense was a three-time consecutive champion of the Kazimierz Knights Tournament, and was so powerful that the official authorities even had to ban her.

Such a formidable opponent was actually defeated head-on by Bai Ye. Bai Ye, what kind of champion are you?

Yera, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word. Only she knew Bai Ye's true identity: the power of a half-god, plus the power of a nascent being—combined, he was practically a youthful version of a behemoth. It was quite normal that the Black Knight couldn't defeat him.

……

"What are your plans next?" Bai Ye asked after the joke.

“I will act in accordance with Yeragand’s orders. However, since the decision has been made to open up the market, the profits need to be redistributed. I will transfer some of my businesses to other families,” SilverAsh said earnestly.

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow: "I thought you would expand your monopoly and take the opportunity to make more money."

"Hmph, that's too superficial. Everything I've done is for Sherag. In fact, I don't have a strong desire for control." SilverAsh snorted coldly, clearly disdaining to do what WhiteNight had suggested.

Bai Ye nodded: "In that case, we can cooperate."

"Oh? You're planning to switch jobs? Karan Trading will always welcome you." Silver Gray's eyes lit up.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Ye shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, whenever SilverAsh tried to poach him, his gaze was always excessively intense, making him very uncomfortable.

In the past, strange topics about "SilverAsh fencing" and his sexual orientation often circulated among players. Usually, Bai Ye would scoff at such nonsensical rumors.

However, he now finds it hard to even think about it.

Shaking his head to dismiss the strange thought, Bai Ye explained, "Actually, I also have my own businesses, and I'm very interested in Xielag. Why don't we start cooperating?"

Although Bai Ye's company and businesses are just so-so, his friends are amazing!
