Chapter 39 Have you decided on the location of the ceremony?
Rochelle returned the paper list to its original owner. Professor David took it and took a look at it. He found that Rochelle had only come into contact with part of it, and all of them had come into contact with the same type of people, that is, those who lived.
People who are in poor condition and are in desperate need of a pillar of faith, such as poor people living in filthy rivers in the suburbs, maintenance workers or cleaners at small docks, down-and-out vendors on the verge of bankruptcy, etc.; as for those who are well-known in this city and have a certain degree of success themselves
He had no contact with any of the powerful believers, such as government officials, doctors, lawyers, or even the nobles in the central city.
This is a very smart choice. First of all, the latter type of believers are basically the key surveillance targets of the sect. Any abnormal behavior by them will arouse the vigilance and attention of the night watchmen. In this case, they will contact them rashly.
, the risk is too great; secondly, the ritual of inviting gods only requires the amount of faith, and has nothing to do with the identity and status of the participants in the ceremony. And these believers may still be devout in their faith in the spring spirit, but sometimes
After a hundred years and several generations, it is difficult to reach the point of fanaticism. It is basically impossible to persuade them to dedicate themselves to a distant and illusory ideal or to a grand and huge goal.
In this case, there is no need to waste time on them, which will increase the chance of being exposed.
It seems that Rochelle has always maintained his calmness and has not been dazzled by the approaching dawn. In other words, he knew from the beginning that he was not qualified to try and make mistakes. In order to unite this huge beast in the cult,
To create rapids and trigger landslides under your nose requires greater courage than a tiger or a bear, a finer mind than a falcon, and a calmer mind than a wolverine. However, the practitioners of the Fertile Soil Sect have gone through experience and now have all three.
Still showing a calm and prudent attitude.
From the mountain man in front of him, Professor David deeply realized a truth: Sometimes, madness carefully packaged with reason is easier to deceive the world, but it is also more dangerous.
He took a deep look at the traveler, then put away the list and asked: "Is it enough to rely on these people alone, Rochelle? Don't forget, what is the only core element to create a god?"
Of course Rochelle would not forget it. It should be said that he kept it in mind, so she replied in a low voice: "Only when we are united can we achieve our goals."
The meaning of this sentence is as simple as the literal meaning. As long as there are enough believers participating in the ceremony to worship the gods and the power of faith devoted is large enough, the created gods will also gain corresponding power according to their scale. However,
, when Rochelle excluded some of the high-risk people on the list, and another group of people rejected his invitation due to inconsistent ideas or other reasons, the only remaining believers who could participate in the god-inviting ceremony were the original non-believers.
It’s one-third there, about a hundred people.
It is true that their beliefs are very devout, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as fanatical, but they are basically ordinary people, not even a magician, so the quality is still not enough to make up for the difference in quantity. Even if the ritual of praying to the gods is successfully completed in the end
, the created conceptual gods will not be too strong, and may not even be able to cross the threshold of demigods, let alone compete with the constructed mechas united with the religious order.
If so, Rochelle's plan, as well as the situation that many animist believers, including His Majesty the Patriarch Kailiul, have worked so hard to plan, will not succeed.
Is it possible that such a huge sacrifice is just to add another glorious record to the Earth Witch - Crimson Nightgate's cannon? Professor David cannot understand.
"It doesn't matter." Rochelle's tone was steady and unhurried: "Whatever is lacking in quantity, just make up for it with quality."
"So, where do you want to find magicians with spring spirit beliefs to participate in your god-seeking ceremony, Rochelle? If I remember correctly, basically all believers with magician status on the list have been excluded by you.
Come on, could it be that Your Majesty Kailiul has sent other helpers for you?" Professor David's voice was somewhat sarcastic, which was completely different from his usual gentle and elegant image.
Rochelle shook her head slowly: "There is no other helper."
As expected, Professor David sneered in a low voice. Just as he was about to continue to ridicule his impracticality, he suddenly saw a solemn look on the traveler's face. He stared at himself quietly, which was deeper than the night.
In his silent eyes, between the rock-hard and stubborn bronze skin, and even between the broad eyebrows that are farther than the earth... all naturally reveal a certain kind of compassion and piety for suffering, as if
Having achieved a certain kind of awakening, the true God above the world has endowed him with all the wisdom and knowledge of a human being, so that he can complete all great missions, even if the cost is to sacrifice himself.
Some absurd possibility flashed through the professor's mind, and he felt unbelievable: "Are you crazy!?"
"Personal awareness," Rochelle replied: "In fact, it is closely connected with the destiny of God. There is never absolute cruelty, and naturally there is no absolute loneliness. For example, in those mountains and mountains collapsed and collapsed, and the earth and mudstone were washed away and buried.
This is what I have seen during the trial."
Therefore, fallen leaves will blend into the soil, moss will cling to the shimmering light, flying insect corpses will fly again under the support of rocks, rotten seeds will sprout again in the cycle of humus, and broken grass roots will fall into the dust floating in the sky.
Just like the giant trees of ancient times...when the old dies, the new is born. This is a truth that Rochelle has learned through countless trials throughout the earth.
"But you are not a believer of Quanling!" Professor David scolded: "You clearly believe in the spirit of the earth, the kind and kind Mother Earth... but you want to participate in the worship ceremony of Quanling believers!?
What are you thinking about? Want to create a new monster?"

"It seems you don't know anything, David. If your father were standing here, he wouldn't ask the same question today, because he is a true animist." Rochelle looked at it.
The professor glanced at him and said calmly: "All things have animism, and the overflowing spirit is God. If the spirituality of all things has the same source, then what is created by combining these spiritualities is just the god who stands at the source.
, not the monster you think."
The implication of his words is that Professor David's understanding of animism is too shallow and he is not a true believer in animism at all.
Although this explanation is reasonable from the perspective of mysticism, Professor David still feels that this approach is too absurd and full of logic that is difficult for normal people to understand. When he heard Rochelle mention his father, he vaguely thought
When his belief in animism was the true piety, the professor couldn't help but sneered. The laughter was full of irony that only he knew.
"All things are animistic, and it is our mission to unite all spirits. I will take the first step in this city. This is a glorious return." Rochelle added: "I originally wanted to invite you to come together.
And share this glory, but it seems that your body and spirit are not ready yet, so you are not qualified to be a carrier of God's descending. David. Missing this glory will be the most regretful thing in your future life.
”
Is it the glory of being a fanatic? Or is it the qualification to create monsters?
Professor David replied coldly: "I don't need this honor, nor this qualification."
Because of this, at least I still have "the future" to talk about in my life.
Rochelle shook her head and said nothing more.
The topic has returned to the original direction. Regarding the preparations for the ceremony to invite gods, in addition to the devout believers participating in the ceremony, a suitable place is also needed. It is best to have sufficient spirituality, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of communicating with the gods; the ceremony is
All kinds of materials and utensils needed were perfectly preserved when the Holy Spring monks evacuated the city of Nimsher in the past, just in case of emergencies; there are also a large number of magic crystals, which are used as a medium for rituals and need to be relied on at the same time.
Use huge magic power to accommodate spirituality and create a carrier that carries the will of the gods.
"I have chosen a suitable place." Rochelle looked around, her eyes passing between the luxurious and bright wall columns and the cold and transparent glass display cases, and said: "The Lubeon Museum has been closely monitored by the sect.
It is not the most appropriate choice to hold a ceremony to invite gods here; fortunately, before setting off, His Majesty Kailiur told me an ancient secret in the city of Nimsher, which may be the key to breaking through the sect's blockade."<
/p>
Ancient secrets of the city of Nimschel?
When Professor David heard this, he showed a thoughtful expression. He seemed to know where Rochelle wanted to hold the ceremony. After all, the David family is also a long-standing noble family in Laisenberg. For
I have also heard this secret.
"If it's that place, it's not difficult." He said: "During the World Expo, the city government relaxed its management regulations. I will arrange for people to collect the materials, utensils and magic crystals required for the ceremony.
Transport it in secret. However, when do you want to hold the ceremony to invite the gods, it is best to give me a clear time."
Rochelle spoke without hesitation, as if this answer had been brewing in her heart so many times that she could not think about it or delay at all: "Tomorrow afternoon, when the sun reaches the spire."
"I will hold a ceremony to invite the gods there."
The voice echoed on the top floor of the museum, calm and firm.
Somehow, destiny is determined, and it gradually moves towards a known path.
