Chapter 41 David Gretel
"That's right."
Huang Tian answered from above.
Pfft!
Decisive and straightforward.
Without any hesitation, the man knelt down before Huang Tian and kowtowed deeply to him.
"Great and eternal God of Light, I, David Gretel, your devout people, pray to you, beseech you for protection, and plead for your salvation of our people!"
The man named David prayed with utmost sincerity, leaving Huang Tian, who was on the other side, somewhat at a loss.
He wanted to go up and help David up, and say something to comfort him, such as "It's better to rely on yourself than on God" and "Only by being independent can you become strong."
But the moment his hands touched David's arms, before he could utter a single word, he felt a surge of power erupt within him, transforming into a raging wave that rushed toward David.
Huang Tian could no longer control his body. He opened his mouth uncontrollably and made a soft, ethereal sound.
That was the voice of the God of Light; this was the first time Huang Tian had ever heard His voice.
The God of Light, through the body of Huang Tian Zai Shang, communicated directly with David.
"You have suffered, David, my child, I have heard your plea. But I am sorry, I do not currently possess the power of the Throne of Light."
Therefore, I cannot grant your wish; I can only give you strength. Everything you ask for must be accomplished by your own hands.
A long sword filled with a bloodthirsty aura appeared in front of David, causing David to instinctively reach out and grasp it.
A terrifying power surged from the longsword, giving David a strange feeling—a feeling that he could kill all the orcs.
"This sword is called the Blade of Courage. It will give you the courage and strength to fight against everything. Use this sword to cut through all obstacles and strive for the future you desire."
"And you are not alone. The person before you is a hero I summoned from another world. You can try to seek his help. And I believe he will definitely not let you down."
"Praise be to you, eternal and great God of Light!"
David took the long sword and bowed devoutly to the heavens.
During this process, Huang Tian regained control of his body and immediately helped David up from the ground.
"Hey, stop worshiping! The God of Light is gone. I can't accept your worship; it'll shorten my lifespan!"
Businessmen, after all, are a little superstitious, even if the person they're talking to is just an android worshipping an android god.
"Brave warrior, please lend us a hand!" David, gripping the Blade of Courage, earnestly pleaded with the heavens above.
At that moment, Huang Tian received a notification that the reward had been credited to his account.

【Whether to accept】
【whether】
"good!"
Upon seeing that it was a follow-up mission, Huang Tian accepted it without hesitation. Then, seeing that David's hand, which was still covered in blood, was gripping the other's hand, he used Holy Light Healing to treat the injury.
Thank you so much!
Watching his wounds heal rapidly under the holy light, David looked up at the heavens with deep gratitude.
Then, he walked towards the wall on one side of the dungeon. "Hero, please follow me!"
"Don't call me 'Hero,' just call me 'Heaven Above'!"
As Huang Tian spoke, he followed David.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As David spoke, he walked to the dungeon wall, pried open a brick, and took out a neatly folded piece of cloth.
"This is?"
Huang Tian looked at the piece of cloth with a puzzled expression, watching as David carefully unfolded it.
It was a square piece of cloth with sides measuring one meter, engraved with mysterious and profound magic arrays, some of which were damaged.
"This is?"
Huang Tian asked another question, and this time David answered Huang Tian's question.
"The teleportation array connects to our resistance base on the other end."
Teleportation array!
Huang Tian raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that this thing was a good one.
Moreover, since this thing can be drawn on cloth, it can also be drawn on anywhere else.
David bit his finger and used his blood to patch up a gap in the magic circle on the cloth. The entire magic circle then emitted a pale blue light, indicating that this part of the magic circle was now connected to the other end.
"I usually use teleportation to get rid of these shackles!"
As David spoke, he took the teleportation array and walked towards the nearest person, spreading out a piece of cloth with the teleportation array drawn on it in front of that person.
The person consciously stood on the magic circle, and as the blue light flashed on the magic circle, he was teleported away from the dungeon, leaving only the empty shackles hanging limply.
Next, David repeated the process, sending all the dungeon dwellers away one by one, leaving only the Star Guardian players and David.
"Your Majesty, please enter the teleportation array with your companions!"
"Aren't you worried that there might be orc spies among us?"
Seeing this, Huang Tian was not in a hurry to leave through the teleportation array, but asked curiously.
David replied, "We are all human beings, and any human being can be trusted."
Huang Tian then asked, "But isn't there a red crystal that can turn humans into half-orcs? Aren't you afraid that someone might betray you to become a half-orc?"
David fell silent.
In the past, because of the orcs' differential treatment of humans, anyone who was a fellow human was someone who could be trusted and a comrade-in-arms who shared a common hatred of the enemy.
But with the appearance of that red crystal, more and more humans began to betray humanity.
However, David did not remain silent for long; he believed in the God of Light and in his own judgment.
"I believe in you."
We will live up to your trust!
Huang Tian chuckled and patted David on the shoulder before stepping into the teleportation array David had set up.
After a dizzying spin, Huang Tian finally found his bearings, adjusted his wildly rotating perspective, and began to observe his surroundings.
Huang Tian is currently in a closed building, surrounded by a dozen or so human NPCs holding crossbows and keeping a watchful eye on him.
"Who are you?"
Huang Tianzai's unfamiliar face made the people around him very wary. A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader and was blind in his right eye asked Huang Tianzai in a hoarse voice.
"A hero summoned by the god of light!"
Upon seeing this, Huang Tian did not hesitate for a moment and raised his palm to activate Holy Light Healing.
The moment the pure white light shone in the enclosed space, all the human NPCs fell silent, as expected.
Immediately afterwards, a series of thuds rang out as one human NPC after another knelt down before Huang Tian.
Although he had expected it, Huang Tian still couldn't help but frown, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on the middle-aged man at the head of the group.
The middle-aged man who looked like the leader had a very unnatural expression on his face. It wasn't the excitement of meeting a savior, but rather a sense of fear and astonishment.
Although the other party quickly composed himself and knelt down like the others.
However, Huang Tian was still keenly aware of the disharmony in the other party's behavior, which was the insight he had honed as a boss in managing employees.
