It was dawn the next day, and the temporary camp was full of noisy people. Anyone who has traveled for a long time knows that the time you can travel in a day is limited. Starting early in the morning seems to have become a general rule in most cases.
When most people started to pack up and get ready, some people came over to say goodbye to me.
"Stay and help rebuild the village? Okay."
I answered so readily that even Sol was surprised.
In fact, there is nothing to guess. Saul will definitely not stay here just to rebuild a village. Since he has decided to sow the seeds of the law, seeds randomly sown in the fields can easily wither accidentally. Carefully do it while it is still fragile.
Taking care of a period of time is a matter of course.
Moreover, with the care of this silver professional, those villagers will have the courage to return to their homes. After all, bandits are not the only threat in this world. Wild beasts and Warcraft are just as deadly.
During the attack by the Kuai Knife Group, the militiamen who could only deal with wild wolves were all killed in an instant. Later, due to the small number of bandit groups, all the mature men who might pose a threat were killed, leaving only those who could serve as
There are old people who buy and sell sacrifices, as well as more valuable children and women. If there are only these villagers, rebuilding the village will be a problem in itself, not to mention the dangers that may be encountered.
On the other hand, if there is not enough safety guarantee, they can only become wanderers and go to larger towns to make a living. If they have two skills, they can also grow n≌ learn literature and support themselves.
It is possible for me to become a beggar or a prostitute even if I am not good enough.
And if you rebuild your home, the fields will still be there, and maybe this year's crops will be harvested. In addition, the property of the Kuaishou Regiment will be used as compensation. At least you will have enough food and clothing. If you can live well at home, who is willing to leave home.
"Two of your companions? Are they going with you?"
"No, I discussed it with them, and they decided to follow me to the ruins. Their strength should be needed there."
I nodded, as expected, and handed him a note.
"Taking a few people on the road, rebuilding or something requires hard work. Mercenaries are good at doing this. Once they finish the rebuilding work, hire them to guard the town for a period of time. It's too busy for one person."
"Seventeen gold coins from Bart's bet? Is this a gambling debt?"
Yes, this note contained some records of gambling debts. I held it in my arms for a long time with some heartache before throwing him a small bag of gold coins.
"Yes, even the bets are also commissions. This is the reward I promised them. I have selected these guys, and they are all veterans who are well-established and trustworthy. Don't worry about using them."
When the little goblin was about to leave with a grateful face, I continued.
"What a pity, Miracle Hand Dimiret is probably the most knowledgeable engineer in the world. It is said that he has already blazed a new trail in goblin engineering..."
For Goblin Engineer, the opportunity to meet a great engineer is undoubtedly valuable, just like an art school student can meet a great artist. It is not only a meeting with an idol star, but also a great progress made through communication.
opportunity.
And Dimiret is no ordinary great engineer. He is a genius engineer who plays a vital and core role in the magic technology revolution. He has become the wisest person in the eyes of countless goblins and dwarfs. If he misses the opportunity to meet and communicate,
…
Well, I looked at the face that was full of gratitude just now and instantly became embarrassed. I felt that the goblin's anger just now suddenly turned into depression and helplessness, and I smiled proudly.
"Hmph, since I'm asked to pay, how can I happily let you go?"
"...You're really awkward. You've already given out the money, why don't you just happily act like a good person?"
"Tch, I'm a good person to begin with."
"Well, well, a good man, a good man over 300 years old, I don't know if you will be a good man for the rest of your life."
"What a vicious curse, I also wish you a good cat life!"
Dead Cat shook his head, as if he was no longer interested in the primary school student-level quarrel.
"But this kid is also lucky. With your letter of introduction to Snow Hoof, his future path can be regarded as a promotion?"
"Oh, then you don't understand the bunch of bastards in the Fourth Department of Justice. In their eyes, 'a good young talent who deserves attention' is equal to a 'rookie who needs to be sharpened repeatedly.' What I personally introduced is probably equal to '100% wear-resistant.'
Want to get promoted? Let’s work hard first.”
Although Sol's previous performance was really disappointing, at least last night's performance made me quite satisfied, so I planned to send a letter of introduction to Snow Hoof, the current supreme bishop of the Law Church.
"Now we are no longer called Supreme Bishop. According to the news last month, we have changed it to Supreme Judge. All priests and priests in the Law Department are called by the Judicial Department profession."
Heloise's words caught my attention.
"Restore the first-level judge, second-level judge and other judge hierarchies from the Sulfur Mountain City period? Isn't this a clear break from the old True God Religion Church system? How will other True God Churches react to this drastic religious reform?"
It seems that this is just a change of title, but if you think about it carefully, it means that the profession of law will replace the religious priesthood of the church of law with its status in the judicial system. It is the beginning of the religious reform in Hades to remove the theocratic authority.
This also signifies that the legal side truly believes in the law itself rather than the God of the law. It may seem like a small matter, but it is of huge significance. It is almost equivalent to declaring war on the traditional theocratic church, and the foreseeable resistance is even greater.
"...There was no response. No clergy above the episcopal level expressed an opinion."
It was obviously a happy success, but the emotion conveyed by Heloise was full of worry, as if this was the worst news.
"No response? How is that possible? Oh...they plan to settle the score later!"
If you express opinions that are neither serious nor serious at this time, it is equivalent to acquiescing to the religious reform of the Church of the Law, and such reforms have touched the foundation of the Church of True God. Pan-conceptual beliefs and beliefs in personal God are natural enemies, unless that personal God
Intention and concept become one, otherwise sooner or later there will be liquidation.
Of course, you can also regard it as a special case and ignore it. This is almost like a materialist among a group of religious people. It is simply a leverage to stir up hatred and dissatisfaction.
"Neither the God of Law nor his church collects offerings or donations. Why can you? Also, they say criminals will go to purgatory, but you say that as long as you pay enough donations, you can enter heaven. Who said that?
Is that right? They are also shepherds of gods with magical skills and power, but they can feed themselves with food, so why can you just pray and be able to have enough food and clothing? Why..."
I am afraid that by then, even the Pope of the Holy Church will not be able to answer these questions.
So, for those clergy of the True God Church, the best way to deal with it is probably to pretend not to see those "heresies" for the time being, and then fall out and settle the matter later.
"Xue Hoo is still a little impatient. It's too early at this time, and it will arouse the hostility of other neutral true gods..."
He stopped mid-sentence with some complaining words, and chose the tauren with many bad habits as the boss of the Law Church. It is because he has a very stable temperament and he is not an impatient person. And even if he is really
If it can't be stopped, Lilith, Kane and the others will stop it.
"How long has it been since you read religious magazine news? Well, I know you hate those things the most, let me tell you."
Those magazines that follow the general trend to make money. Half of them are filled with various religious slogans and preaching. Some bastards even have weak hypnotic patterns engraved in them to guide readers to believe in religion. I can't bear to pay a copper coin for such mental pollutants.
!Well, it’s just not worth it. It’s definitely not me being stingy!
"...The momentum behind it was completely gone, and the truth was revealed along the way."
Heloise really likes to subscribe to those messy missionary magazines, especially those from the elven and divine systems... Well, this damn cat seems to be no essentially different from the past, and he always says that I am stingy and vindictive.
"Since two years ago, many True God churches have complained that legal professionals have embezzled and invaded their parishes, resulting in at least two hundred disputes. Last year, the number of complaints exceeded three times this number.
This year..."
"How much is this year?"
Listening to such words, I can almost understand it.
"This year, we haven't even started yet, but the number has exceeded 8,000. There have been complaints from more than 90 churches and more than 240 countries. Do you need me to summarize them one by one with you?"
"I x. Isn't it opposed by nearly half of the world? Isn't it a global enemy?"
Now, I finally understand why as soon as the people from the Church of Law came to Settlement Town, the priests and paladins of those churches came all the way from the capital of the Principality of Sasha.
The holy war is still going on, and I'm afraid the fun is already getting louder.
"It's just, it's just...it's really great!"
Wanben's depressed mood was swept away? Protests from other countries and churches? Let them protest. Anyway, the "civil war" cannot be fought before the end of the jihad, and a few scoldings will inevitably lead to a few pieces of meat.
Originally, I was worried that it would attract too much hostility when it spread, but now there is such a scale of hostility. On the contrary, it shows that the legal teachings have spread far enough, and everyone is used to being hostile.
“In many places, the spread of the law has been called the ‘law plague’.”
Hearing this, I burst into laughter. Indeed, in a sense, the spread of legal doctrines does feel like a natural disaster or plague.
Take the villagers of Lanti Village in front of you as an example. If Sol successfully sows the seeds of law here, in less than two years, there will probably be dozens of low-level law professionals, and one of them will
The profession has moved to another village, and hundreds of legal professions may be born and spread again... This really feels a bit like a plague, and a bit like a cult.
"It was originally planned to take at least thirty years to spread around the world, but it was achieved in seven years? This is more like a cult than a cult."
Ultimately, the reason why the legal profession can spread so quickly is because of its own characteristics.
In a world where the weak eat the strong, a thing that can give mortals power will naturally spread extremely fast. This is also the root cause of the evil gods' churches. It is indeed correct to believe in the true God, but the true God will not give rewards casually, and those evil gods
But they are often able to respond to requests and improve quickly and more. In this world, real power is more convincing than any empty doctrine.
In a sense, legal teachings are more excessive than cults. After all, if you believe in devils or devils or other cults, even if they give you power and realize your wishes, they will inevitably deprive you of more valuable things.
The teachings of the Dharma can also give power without charging any price.
He does not have a church, does not need to pray to the true God, does not need expensive religious ceremonies, he only needs to believe in the justice and protection of the law... and does not talk about those lofty empty words, which greatly saves the cost of practice and reduces the cost of practice.
The difficulty of proselytizing is much more difficult to prevent from a pamphlet than some evil ritual.
He specializes in protection and punishment, and is not aggressive. Those local lords are happy to see the birth of legal professionals who specialize in protection in their territories. Or they cannot be used for aggression, but they can protect towns and drive away wild beasts and invaders.
Moreover, these strong men who obey the law will not threaten the lord's rule.
To gain a ruling status (temporarily), on a deeper level, it can also attack the local traditional theocratic power and expand the power of the lords. In a sense, this is another battle between royal power and theocratic power. Without those lords behind the scenes,
If they add fuel to the flames and introduce each other, I'm afraid the legal teachings will not spread so fast.
The most important thing is that its entry threshold is extremely low and its growth is rapid, allowing those mortals who desire to control their own destiny to take the initiative to learn.
Of course, there are many people who pretend to believe in the law for the sake of power, but without piety and understanding of the law, it is impossible to master the spells. And even if he masters the spells and gains power, he will inflate himself.
Do something selfishly...
"The law of God, the seventh of the Thirteen Sins, those who take advantage of selfish desires, corrupt the law, and neglect their duties will be stripped of all their duties and demoted to common people!"
The false words of the past have turned into a real reality. The sleepless man will always watch you. It is really not an empty talk. Once you lose the power of the law, you will never be able to get it again in your life.
And all of this stems from the Sleepless Man who has entered the rank of Lord God and the Hades Purgatory that has become the base camp on the Hades side.
The divine power is strong enough to be able to summon miracles like a squander. The miracle last night made dozens of people choose the way of the law and gave them the seeds of the law. However, more faith was given to many people.
of divine power.
As mentioned before, for the true God, holy war is both a test and an opportunity, and the God of Law seems to have seized this opportunity.
Perhaps, the Holy Light back then also grew in such an expansionary manner, and finally lost control completely, but now the God of Law has been tightly bound by the rules, and is destined to become a cog in the underworld.
"Now that we've reached this point, I'd better add some fire."
So, I spread out my letter paper and began to think of a letter to Snow Hoof and Lilith. (To be continued...)
ps: What, there are actually 500 chapters. Sure enough, the state recovery is just an illusion. Double update tomorrow.
