Ma Wei has never thought about being a god thief. Yesterday, he still firmly believed that there is no god in this world. How can he be a god thief?
He was a little embarrassed that Yunia actually knew that he was a false believer.
Yes, although Ma Wei personally founded the Church of Truth and invented a fictitious god, what he believed in was not a false god, but the real truth.
"Yunia, since you know that I am not your believer, why do you still willingly lend me your power?"
"Because Yunia knows how much effort you put into creating Yunia, Dad. You have been by Yunia's side since she first gained consciousness."
"Create a glimmer of consciousness?"
Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you just come yesterday? Did you already have an ideology before yesterday?"
"Um"
Yunia looked confused: "It's like this, Yunia was able to sense the surrounding situation a year ago, but she was trapped in the statue and could not give birth to the true godhead."
"Is your arrival related to yesterday's earthquake?"
"have no idea"
Seeing that Yunia knew nothing about her birth, Ma Wei did not continue to ask questions. Although he wanted to find out where the god came from, the top priority was the first priority.
It is to solve the immediate problem.
A group of cursed rats are roaming around the city. If not stopped in time, the consequences will be devastating.
"Yunia, do you have a way to remove the curse carried by the rats?"
"Yes!" Yunia giggled and said, "Just like Fat Orange and Xiao Hei, all believers who are protected by gods are immune to ordinary curses, but..."
"But what?"
"It's too late."
Yunia looked up at the moon covered with a layer of gauze and said softly: "Although the mouse carries only an ordinary curse, this curse takes effect very quickly. Once infected, it will take effect in a very short time. Therefore,
Cursed dead creatures will continue to spread more curses. Corpses are the breeding ground for the spread of curses. Many people are bound to die tonight. Dad, Yunia can feel that the number of believers is decreasing."
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, someone violently knocked on the church door.
Ma Wei took Yunia, Fat Orange and Little Black quickly back to the church, opened the door, and saw several nervous middle-aged men standing outside wearing brown velvet coats and carrying kerosene lamps.
They are all workshop owners in New Ross City, each running a small factory. The leader is a bearded middle-aged man named Vons Browning, who runs the brewery where Mr. Jacob works.
At the same time, they are also believers of the Church of Truth.
Fons Browning's eyes were red, he was breathing heavily, and his beard was trembling slightly when he spoke: "Father, something happened!"
"Don't worry, what happened?"
"It's those damn rats!"
Fons Browning trembled and said: "They are like crazy. Whenever someone walks by, they will pounce on them and bite them. The bitten person will soon fall into a coma and develop a high fever, which lasts for two hours."
The skin will ulcerate and die within a few days! No medicine will help!"
"This is the Black Death!"
A man standing behind Vons Browning said: "I have read about this disease in books, and it is also caused by rats!"
"There are also those officials and nobles who live in wealthy areas. They refuse to save anyone! As soon as they heard it was the Black Death, they immediately blocked the streets! Why didn't they show such speed when distributing poverty relief funds?"
There were so many noises that Ma Wei's head was spinning. He subconsciously glanced at Yunia who was silent beside him, turned around and asked, "What's going on in the city now?"
"A lot of people were bitten, and everyone who went to the scene after they died got sick!" Vons Browning shouted: "The town is in complete chaos!"
"You are the only one we can rely on now, Father!"
"That's right! Only you, Father, can save us now!"
"I?"
Ma Wei was shocked, secretly wondering whether the arrival of the gods had been exposed?
Are people like Vons Browning rushing to the door to pray for the goddess's blessing?
"The priest of the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny said that holy water can cure this disease, but the supply of holy water exceeds the demand, so we have to come here to ask Father Mawei for your help!"
Can holy water lift a curse?
What a joke.
Ma Wei, who boils holy water by himself every day, knows all too well that so-called holy water has no effect at all on curing diseases, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings!
It’s just a pot of cold water!
unless
Ma Wei suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Add the power of God's gift to the holy water. In this way, maybe the holy water can really eliminate the curse in the body.
But why do the priests of the Church of the Three Destinies want to publicize this matter?
If he secretly sells holy water, not only can he make a lot of money, but he can also vigorously publicize the church. Those who survive after taking holy water will definitely be devoted to the church!
on the contrary
This is a complete trap!
Only holy water added with the power of God's gift can eliminate curses. So the priests of the Church of the Three Destinies can rely on this to promote their own church. However, for small churches without the presence of gods, of course the holy water they give out will not.
As a result, those small churches with few believers will definitely think that their original beliefs are false!
How could they not switch to the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, which has remarkable effects of holy water and "true and reliable" teachings?
Say it again
If other churches come up with holy water that can remove curses, wouldn't it prove that gods have come to their churches?
The small church that was still able to hide in the dark and try to develop and wait for the changes of the times suddenly fell into a dilemma.
Either take out the holy water, stabilize your followers, and then be targeted by the big church.
Either you don't take out the holy water to protect yourself, the end result is nothing more than believers quitting the church and switching to other big churches!
No matter which path you choose, you have to cut off an arm!
What a vicious plot!
Thinking of this, Ma Wei's face couldn't help but darken a lot. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a crisp sound from behind him.
Everyone looked back and saw Fat Orange and Xiao Hei squatting on the empty baptistery. The floor under the baptismal platform was covered with water stains. The copper pot that originally held the holy water was upside down on the ground and was overturned.
"ah!!!"
Fons Browning hugged his head and let out a heartbreaking scream: "My holy water!!!"
Seeing this, Ma Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stopped everyone who was rolling up their sleeves and prepared to teach Fat Orange and Xiao Hei a lesson, and said quickly:
"Everyone, you have also seen that the holy water is temporarily out of stock. Please go to other churches to take a look first and give me some time to prepare."
