"Of course you can." The man in the black cloak said sadly, "Just pray to the shadows and darkness. There is no need for a statue of 50,000 gold dinars."
Everyone didn't understand the true meaning of "spectacle" and just thought it was a strange ornamental building.
Upon hearing this, some bold people immediately began to pray.
"God of Darkness, please listen to my call, and please give me power so that I can get out of the cold basement and live in a bright big house, with ten, no, a hundred beautiful maids to serve me." Someone.
Open your mouth and say.
The first person speaks, and the second person speaks immediately.
Most people are like this, easily swayed and easily converted.
"me too."
"me too."
The man in the black cloak smiled.
As he expected, these fragile, imbecile, dirty, low-level beings that thrive like worms can transform themselves into anything in order to survive. They are the most adaptable beings selected by nature itself.
species!
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly someone said: "I have a new arm, and my strength has become stronger. I feel like I can kill a cow and overturn a car."
Everyone looked around and saw that it was a thin, one-armed man.
He only has one left arm, and no one is surprised by this, because it is common for him to be blind without an arm or a leg.
If you are working too hard, if you are not careful, you will be caught in the machine without any protective measures.
However, at this time, a new arm that was as black as ink, greasy and smooth, and covered with swollen blisters suddenly grew out of his vacant right arm!
No, it can't be called an arm, it doesn't look like a human.
But who does it look like? Sorry, with the knowledge of these workers, I really can’t recognize it.
After all, most of them have never eaten seafood.
A worker who was a fisherman suddenly shouted: "This, this is the arm of the big thief!"
"Yes," the man in the black cloak laughed, "the light made you lose an arm, so the darkness found a new one for you among countless creatures. Are you satisfied?"
"I, I'm satisfied, but I don't know if my maids will be satisfied in the future?" the thin man said excitedly.
As he said excitedly, he used his new arm to lift up a strong man next to him.
The new arm wrapped around the opponent's body like a python, scaring the strong man so much that he didn't dare to move!
Slowly, more and more people receive the gift of darkness!
First the disabled ones, then the thin ones, and finally the strong ones!
They were shouting and going crazy, and their worship of darkness reached its peak!
Darkness, only darkness, will directly give power to each of them, unlike light, where power will only be intercepted by kings, nobles, and bosses!
…………
What the workers don't know is that another force is also surging.
"This can't go on like this!"
"Believers work hard to worship the statue of God, which produces countless bright and warm powers, but they are not used to improve their lives. This is unfair and goes against God's will!"
Priest Laurent was born into a noble family and was also born by a maid, but he was very smart when he was five years old. He often scored 100 points in exams organized by the masters.
So he was left behind and recorded in the genealogy as the fifteenth official son of the master.
But unlike others, he still has a conscience.
This is probably because he was bullied since childhood.
The sons of the master's wife have huge natal family power. Regardless of whether they are smart or stupid, beautiful or ugly, they must be in the first line of succession.
Those people still treated him like a servant because he had good grades. Every time he took an exam, he was beaten and threatened not to do well in the exam.
But his mother told him that if he didn't do well in the exam, he wouldn't have to be beaten by these little guys who couldn't beat him to death, but he would be beaten by society, which would be really deadly.
"Okay, without the nobles building wonders, those poor ghosts will not be able to generate any power even if they worship gods all their lives. They can only get dry bread to survive, instead of eating like those in the east, south, and north who suffer from famine.
This is the greatest fairness to them if they eat grass roots!" Another noble priest said disdainfully.
"But they will resist! According to the records in the past three years, the number of worker riots has increased by 200% every year! Yes, you read that right, the number of riots is doubling every year! Everyone has studied mathematics,
I know how terrible it would be to double it continuously!" Priest Laurent yelled.
He still has a conscience, but the fundamental reason for speaking out for the workers is to maintain a stable society so that he can live peacefully in his 200-square-meter high-end apartment with the service of three maids.
"Humph, just let the king and the nobles suppress it. The king occupies one-tenth of the divine power, and the workers are directly managed by them." The noble priests were still dismissive and arrogant.
In his view, the workers' resistance was meaningless.
If they didn't have divine power, maybe they could overthrow the king and nobles with their large numbers, but not now.
One of the king's divine knights can suppress a thousand people!
And their strongest Guardian Templar can suppress 10,000 people by himself!
What about those workers?
"Wait a minute, I also support giving those workers some good living conditions, at least allowing them to complete the normal inheritance of the family." Another female priest stood up.
"Thank you for your support, Bishop Catherine." Father Laurent expressed gratitude.
"No, the reason for my support is that the reproduction speed of those noble gentlemen is too slow and the quality is getting worse and worse. Moreover, the scientific community has studied that inbreeding will cause population degradation..." Bishop Catherine said calmly.
"Yes, I support the bishop's view. The spread of believers is too slow. We have conquered all the land we can see, but there are still too few believers. We need more land and more people."
"Yes, divine power is so great. We have discovered more and more uses for it. It can create things out of thin air, make us immortal, and travel across the void... But all of this requires a huge reserve of divine power, and men are also very
Importantly, the reproduction speed of one noble master is not as fast as that of many people."
Everyone supported him one after another.
"Wait, you are wrong again!" The noble priest just stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the logic of giving workers better living conditions, allowing them to have more children, and providing us with more divine power?" someone asked dissatisfied.
"Of course there is a problem. Do you think people with good living conditions will have more children? Hahaha, that's totally wrong!"
"This is impossible. Life is good, why not give birth?"
"It's very simple. When life is good, you will enjoy it by yourself, instead of having more children to dilute your enjoyment! This is human nature, despicable human nature. I saw the future through prophecy! In that future, people will eat everything they eat every day.
There is endless food, and they have to worry about their fat bodies every day, but they choose not to have children, or only give birth to one or two..." the noble priest sneered.
It turns out that he was not opposed to improving workers' living conditions simply out of arrogance.
Everyone was stunned and expressed their incomprehension.
"How is this possible, that there are still people worried about obesity? There is so much food, why don't you have children?"
"It's hard to understand, since there's so much food to eat, why not give birth to ten or eight, no, at least twenty! A woman gives birth to one child every year from the age of 16, with occasional breaks, until she is 45 years old!"
