"A philosopher from the eastern kingdom?" James, the first disciple, looked at Francis in confusion.
He did not doubt that there was something wrong with this strange man. He could pass the test of "God of Fire and Destruction" Afando and gain the trust of "Crown" El. As a devout believer, he did not dare and would not doubt the reason why he spoke.
, hoping to learn more information in order to make a reasonable judgment on Francis's suggestions. After all, he is the main leader of the secular mission of the Mystic Order.
James' attitude represented similar thoughts of the other disciples, and even Lucien had the same expression.
"The situation in this world is special. There are many false gods, and there are many moon priests. So after the real Silver Moon God Aitna fell into this world, she was attracted by similar divinities and tried to absorb them to restore herself.
Rank is also possible. After all, he is still the ancestor of the blood race. Absorbing blood and divinity is a hidden ability." Regarding the research in the field of gods, the Magic Council is quite backward, and the vocabulary used by Lucien to describe it is basically from the church.
What kind of priesthood or divinity are "imported"? I can only roughly understand what they refer to, but I can't figure out what they are.
With this premise, Lucien secretly thought: "In the absence of any other better way to find Silver Moon Aitna, controlling and paying attention to the false gods with the moon aspect's 'priesthood' can be regarded as an effective way.
'Sit back and wait,' is Francis a member of the Southern Church, the Northern Church, or the church of several false gods in the northwest of the Dark Mountains? Well, if you really want to be more serious, the Parliament, the Dark Parliament and other forces can also help make similar religious improvements.
——I hear and see it every day, it’s hard not to know, but the elves are more stubborn, and the druids will not do such a thing."
The concept of mature religion mentioned by El takes the route of salvation and soothing the soul. Lucien himself can make up nonsense, and the identity of Francis cannot be determined from this. Moreover, if he is a member of the church, he helps false gods carry out religion.
Reform seems to go against one's own beliefs. Of course, in the face of the top priority of finding Silver Moon Aitna, a slight violation of beliefs is not something that needs to be considered by some of the church's senior leaders and night watchmen.
Thinking of this, Lucien became more alert and cautious. Most of his magic items were damaged and awaiting repair, which was not conducive to a long battle, and he didn't know if Francis had any companions nearby.
El smiled and pointed at Francis: "Mr. Francis comes from the oasis country in the desert to the east. He has in-depth research on philosophy, theology, and mysticism. This time he came to the Erdo Peninsula because when he was watching the stars at night, he found a star.
The stars became extremely bright in a short period of time, and then quickly calmed down, which corresponds to the rise of God the Father, so I came here specially to worship and communicate."
This magic stick... Lucien secretly cursed, and he felt more and more that there was something wrong with Francis. The astrological changes described in this description were clearly a symbol of the fall of the "old god" and the ascendance of the new god. What could Afando do with it?
Rise?
Did he not understand astrology and make it up randomly, or did he deliberately say it to mock Alfando and El for being ignorant and illiterate?
Francis casually sat on a silver chair and glanced at the disciples with a faint smile that would never fade: "The reason why the great God of Fire and Destruction is no longer as popular with Babur as before.
Worship is not only a problem with the preaching method of pure intimidation, but also that it was actually defeated by Anatans, allowing the Babur people who feared terror and power to discover
The god of fire and destruction seemed weaker than they thought.
"This is due to the betrayal of other gods!" the second disciple said loudly, refusing to admit that Afando, the god of fire who could destroy the world, would fail.
Francis leaned back leisurely on his chair: "No matter what, failure is a more tragic thing for the gods than death. Therefore, I suggest that the great Alfando temporarily abandons the image of the past and preaches in the way of the new god.
We can say that in the flames of destruction, the savior El was born. The previous failures were just a test for believers by the great Afando. Those who failed to pass the test must repent piously in order to obtain the salvation of El. After the flames,
Harvest from fertile soil.”
"This is the new god, 'El, the god of resurrection, fertility and redemption, who will gradually absorb the image of 'Afando' in the future, adding the priesthood of fire and destruction, so that believers will understand that El is Afando.
Alfando is El, and they two become one, so that they can become truly powerful gods."
"From now on, no matter what happens, it can be explained by God's test."
The six disciples around the round table fell silent. Francis's words sounded reasonable, but it seemed to be a mockery of God to explain everything by God's test.
Lucien noticed, however, that when he said these words, Francis's expression and eyes were not only devoid of any mockery, but rather slightly fanatical, which was very convincing.
"Does he have outstanding acting skills, or does he have other purposes besides looking for Silver Moon Aitna?" Lucien became more and more certain that Francis was a "visitor" from the main material world.
Seeing that the disciples were still silent, Francis stood up, pressed his chest and saluted El:
"What the gods mean is something we mortals cannot truly understand. Making mistakes is because we don't understand enough and ignore the test."
"The gods are eternal and unchanging, they exist forever and do not need our faith, but we need to believe in the gods to obtain salvation."
"The gods represent truth, virtue, redemption and other good things. All authority belongs to one body. Apart from this, there is no true God!"
After hearing these words, El's expression became slightly excited, and the flames in his eyes jumped even more fiercely. Francis's modified teachings were much more high-end and mysterious than before, which greatly improved his "God's Throne"
, is no longer similar to those false gods who are mixed among mortals, and it is easier for believers to worship wholeheartedly.
"Isn't this the latest version of the theological explanation of the Church of Truth?" Lucien felt so embarrassed that he was sweating.
The Cult of Truth needs to pay attention to the progress of arcane research, and arcanists also need to understand more or less theological knowledge to understand the enemy's situation in order to better defeat them.
But in this way, Lucien can no longer guess the identity of Francis. In all cases, the Truth Religion is the least likely. If it uses its own teachings on false gods, even the Pope will be accused of depravity and blasphemy.
Unless he has another purpose.
"The great God of resurrection, fertility and redemption, please accept our faith, forgive our sins, and save us from this filthy world." Jacob, as a veteran god, was the first to react and quickly worshiped El.
Leading other disciples to accept this new identity as "the God of Fire and Destruction".
El satisfied and asked them to sit down: "My priesthood is derived from the divinity of Father God. It is still very weak. I must conquer other false gods and obtain similar divinity to strengthen it. The divinity of the moon god Asin has immortality.
The meanings of pregnancy, tranquility, etc. are closely related to resurrection, fertility, and redemption, so our first target is him.”
El changed the referent of Asin to him, that is, he no longer regarded him as a god.
"Asin betrayed the great Afando in the war against the evil god Anatans and gained a certain degree of autonomy. He is now able to preach freely in the Solna Valley and competes with other betrayed gods for limited faith resources.
.But we are always worried about the revenge of the great Afanduo, and the location of the God's Domain has become more mysterious. Moreover, if we fight him in the God's Domain, even if there is the 'God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption, we don't have much confidence in your action."
Anhuis often preaches outside and is very knowledgeable about this matter.
Seeing that they were not shy about their desire for faith resources, Lucien became more and more suspicious of the source of divine magic: "If divine magic does come from the power of faith, does that mean the existence of the power of the soul? Or the power of the soul is something more
Is it a special spiritual power, a spiritual power with a more peculiar frequency?"
Francis smiled as if he was prepared: "So using the new God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption to come forward can effectively reduce the alertness of the moon god Asin. And when I came here, I heard that a theological conference would be held in the Solna Valley.
, attracting believers by debating the power of their respective gods, the losers will be expelled from the valley, and the priests of the evil god Anatans will also go there to try to make these false gods truly become members of the Angnomar pantheon."
"We sent two disciples to participate in the name of the new religion, trying to anger Asin in the theological debate and lead him to an ambush position."
El nodded lightly: "This matter will be done according to Mr. Francis's arrangement. When the time comes, I, Mr. Francis, and Jacob will join forces to kill Asin easily outside the realm of God.
"Mr. Francis?" Jacob said in surprise.
He is the leader of the disciples and the secular leader. The "spiritual seed" given by Afanduo is the strongest, which is equivalent to the sum of the other disciples. He has level 6 strength. Why can Francis be tied with himself in strength?
Francis smiled and said: "I was once blessed by the great true god. I accidentally encountered the death of a Hydra that was as good as a false god. I bathed in its blood and devoured its heart. I also possessed the abilities of a god-blooded person.
"
Blood Knight? Lucien ignored the lies and deciphered the true meaning that Francis wanted to hide. "If this is the case, at least he is not from the Parliament."
There are no blood knights in the Council!
Jacob took a breath, said no more, and looked back at the other disciples: "Leviathan, this is the time for you to make a contribution. You have not yet had contact with other sects, so you can represent the new resurrection and fertility."
And Anhus, the god of salvation, will assist you."
"I will also go with you, otherwise it would be difficult for an untrained and untrained disciple like you to debate those sects and anger Asin." Francis added.
