In front of a huge pyramid, Lawrence held the small doll Nora on his shoulders and was thinking about something nervously. In front of him, hundreds of jackals all stood there respectfully, with a look full of admiration and envy.
Staring at him with longing eyes, no one even blinked.
"Okay, I thought of one." Looking at this little doll, she happily held up the book charm that she had just called out from the space bag, and played with the book charm like a child playing with a puppet.
Together, Lawrence suddenly saw a familiar shadow from his previous life in Nora's long brown curly hair, red and green eyes, and the image of her green Bavarian-style natural Lolita dress and white lace headscarf.
"What is it?" Nora heard the words and immediately held Shu Mei in her arms and asked curiously. "Let me listen. If you are not satisfied, I will still ask for a replacement."
"You will definitely be satisfied." Lawrence showed a smile on his face. "What do you think of the title Jade Heart? It matches your image and your abilities very well, and it sounds nice too."
"Heart of Jade——" Nora lowered her head and thought for a while, then turned to look at Lawrence, with a bright smile on her face. "Ah, this name is very nice, and whether it is the meaning contained in it or the name
The sources are very consistent with my current situation. This will be my honorific title from now on."
At this point, she let go of the book charm and floated in front of Lawrence. Then she said in a clear and loud voice to the jackals in front of her. "From today on, my honorific title is Jade Heart. I hope you can remember it in the future."
This title."
"See the Jade Heart of my Lord! The noble and great protector of the Jackals." The Jackals below immediately became excited after receiving Nora's answer, and then started another round of worship.
"Fortunately, Hanubis, the Jackal's clan god and the god of death in the ancient Nile civilization, has long since fallen, and the Hapi god who protected them before has also fallen. Now they have no racial god anymore.
Protector God, so under this premise, if you accept a large group of jackals as believers, no one will come to cause trouble, otherwise it will be miserable if you are regarded as a false god." After hearing what these group of jackals called Nora, Lawrence felt that it was really a bit strange.
Fortunately.
In this world with gods, all gods are very wary of false gods who illegally preach. Because except for a few powerful extraordinary beings who are worshiped by others, most of the false gods are in places like hell or purgatory.
Strong men in the lower planes or some people who want to take shortcuts or simply pretend to be gods for their own benefit, pretending to be gods.
Obviously, the existence of this kind of guy will only bring serious harm and not bring any benefit. Therefore, various churches are often very vigilant about the occurrence of this kind of thing. Especially the races with racial gods are especially wary of this kind of thing.
Pay attention to.
Now, Nora's behavior is like a false god. Fortunately, her title is only the protector of jackals, and her followers are only jackals. So as long as she doesn't go to other races to preach without permission, she will be fine.
If you don't do anything outrageous, the gods of other races will pretend they didn't see it.
Not to mention that Nora also has another identity as the soul of the earth, and human society allows the existence of the belief in the soul of the earth. For example, in Lawrence's memory, there are many places where they are organized every year before sowing, after harvest, and on some important days.
Lively rituals are held to offer sacrifices to beings such as local earth souls and ancestor spirits. There are even some recognized earth souls and ancestor spirits that can imitate the church and establish their own churches and cultivate believers.
In fact, when he first crossed over, Lawrence was really surprised by the tolerance of the gods of the civilized races in this world. After all, in many books he had read before, the gods often valued faith extremely, and they couldn't wait to
Everyone in the world believes in themselves and will not allow all kinds of things to come out to steal their faith.
Fortunately, after asking Peter, who had just become an official priest, later, he learned that the gods of this world's civilized races allowed some earth souls and ancestor spirits to establish churches, cultivate believers, and even become
The most important reason for gods is that the barbaric power is too powerful in this world.
So that not only the various civilized races as ordinary people need to stick together for warmth, but even the gods need to unite to face various problems and crises.
On the other hand, this world has a huge area. It is also connected to countless astral planes. In this case, as long as you are willing to spend time cultivating, you can always develop a source of faith from the wilderness, and for gods,
What they don't lack most is time to wait.
Not to mention the most important thing is that ordinary people in this world except clergy often believe in multiple gods, and the largest number of shallow believers and true believers can also provide belief in multiple gods, and only a very low proportion of devout believers
Only fanatics believe in a single god. Therefore, the gods in this world are obviously much gentler than the gods Lawrence knew from literary works and games in his previous life, and conflicts or even wars rarely break out because of this.
Even so, there are not many souls of the earth, souls of the earth or spirits of ancestors who can get permission from various orthodox churches to preach. This is because in order to avoid the birth of evil gods and even more dangerous things, major churches are very strict in this aspect.
While Lawrence was thinking about these things, the jackal's worship was over. Then the leading white jackal ordered his subordinates to carry out a very ornately decorated large platform that required 64 people to carry and asked Nora to sit on it.
Go to the temple in front of the pyramid.
However, this kindness was rejected by Nora. In the end, the little doll sat on Lawrence's shoulders and walked into this huge temple surrounded by a group of jackals with an average height of two and a half meters.
After entering the temple, Nora was welcomed by the jackals and floated to a beautifully carved stone platform in the center of the temple. Then the temple and the square in front of the temple were filled with jackals and a very formal ceremony began.
During the prayer ceremony, he paid homage to Nora, who was flying on the stone platform, while singing various songs of praise.
However, to Laurence's ears, these songs were simply a matter of replacing the old title of the Hobbit God with Nora's title in the ancient songs praising the Hobbit God.
"Long live, Emerald Heart! You appear on this earth, make it fertile, give life to all things on it. Descend from heaven, controller of the Nile, grower of papyrus and lotus, fertile land
The Giver of the Jackals, the protector of the Jackals, taught us how to fish with nets and harpoons. Taught us to dig ditches and irrigate farmland. Heart of Jade, you brought life to every household——"
The jackals came to Nora in batches and bowed respectfully, then crossed their hands on their chests and prayed devoutly. Lawrence could feel a root sticking out from these pious looking jackals.
An invisible thread is connected to the little doll. This should be the legendary thread of faith.
Unfortunately, the little doll now has neither godhood nor divine fire, and its extraordinary level is not high yet. Therefore, it is basically impossible to perfectly utilize the power of faith. And she does not want to directly absorb faith like some guys who are completely brain-dead.
To gain temporary strength at the cost of cutting off the future.
Fortunately, she is still an earth soul who is born with divinity, so she simply injects these precious powers of faith into the astral plane. With the help of this astral plane and the alien planets
The various frictions between the worlds wear away the impurities existing in the faith, and then harvest the pure power of faith that can be used directly.
This is actually a very inefficient approach, because gods can directly use divine fire to temper the power of faith. However, for Nora, who does not have divine fire for the time being and is not in a hurry to become a god, only 1 is left after this tempering.
The /10 power of faith collection plan is already the best plan for her.
At the same time, when the impurities in the power of faith are burned, they can reduce the erosion of the astral plane by various turbulences in the astral world, which in turn reduces the energy consumption of the plane itself. In Nola's case, because of her extraordinary
When the level is too low and the underlying rules of the plane cannot be modified temporarily, it can be used to increase the magic concentration of the astral plane.
