Doing nothing can make things go in a good direction
This is certainly a good idea, but it’s really not easy to put it into practice.
Because the top leaders of both churches were still fighting outside Green Tree City, the atmosphere of tension between the two churches was very intense. Firefights often occurred, and from time to time, frictions or even battles broke out.
Fortunately, both sides still abide by the rules, and according to the rules, the two churches cannot engage in large-scale exchanges of fire until the outcome of the duel is determined.
This limited the intensity and scale of the struggle, and also allowed Wall, who was originally very worried, to gradually relax.
Contrary to Him, the Noble God's mood became increasingly bad.
He saw clearly that he was at a disadvantage in this battle for faith. Not only was it difficult to realize his plan of taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the powerful divine power, but even the sphere of influence that had been delineated before was somewhat unstable.
This is what annoys Him the most.
The God of Nobles is not very concerned about the affiliation of faith. In His view, the most important thing is not who the people believe in, but who the nobles who rule the people believe in. As long as the rulers believe in Him, He doesn't care whether the people believe in Him or not.
Therefore, He has always focused on spreading faith in the upper class society, while disdainful of the lower class society.
In other countries, the influence of His Church is much stronger than the influence of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Culture - the Northwest Republic is another matter, but in the Country of Mages, the situation is reversed.
Even after years of preparation and influence, the mainstream idea of the Secret Tower Federation is still that mages are the most noble, and modern mages attach great importance to knowledge and culture, so the cultural atmosphere here is also very strong. Not to mention those spellcasters, even among nobles, noble bloodline is important, but cultural accomplishment is also indispensable.
Therefore, when the God of Knowledge gained a new priesthood and became the God of Knowledge and Culture, many nobles and mages who were originally inclined to the God of Nobles turned to the God of Knowledge and Culture again.
It is not surprising that mages would make such a choice. But the nobles would actually do this, which made the God of Nobles very unhappy.
He even felt that this was betrayal!
Shouldn't nobles naturally believe in themselves? I have been working hard to promote the nobility of aristocratic blood, the natural rationality of aristocratic rule, and the correctness of the aristocratic system! How could they turn to the god of knowledge and culture just because of their habits and traditional concepts
But He did not say these thoughts out loud, and was just secretly annoyed.
Being annoyed didn't solve the problem. After some thinking, he decided to find someone to help.
"Are you sure you want my help?"
"certainly!"
"...Sorry, I can't help with this matter."
"Why? I think you have absolutely everything you can do. For example, instigate civil strife in some noble families who tend to be over there, or instigate conflicts between mages and nobles... Aren't these what you are best at?"
"I'm good at these things, but I don't want to die!"
"What's the meaning?"
"I admit that doing these things is completely in line with my position and to my taste. But why should I jump out at this sensitive moment to provoke the God of Knowledge and Culture? Don't forget, there is emptiness behind Him Where’s the mask!”
"Are you scared?"
"Nonsense! Of course I'm scared! Unlike you, I have the Lord of Glory as your backer. Even if the sky falls, He will still support you. I am alone."
"But you have offended Him a long time ago, and you have offended Him badly. Not only that, you have offended so many gods in the Pantheon, and you have offended Him so many times. Why do you suddenly care about you this time?"
"There are some things I can't tell you. In short, I will never be involved in anything that is hostile to Mask of the Void in the near future."
"...Is this a hint?"
"You can think so. Considering our good relationship in the past, this can be regarded as a reminder."
"...I understand, I will reconsider carefully."
After the God of Nobles left, the God of Conspiracy hidden in the shadows smiled bitterly, shook his head, disappeared into a cloud of smoke, and returned to his own kingdom.
He has a big plan, and in order to realize that plan, it is very beneficial to maintain a relatively good or at least neutral relationship with Mask of the Void.
Although that may not make the plan successful, but to make that unlikely plan come true, there may only be a slight chance of success. This is what must be done.
For this reason, even if you have to give up the opportunity to spread the conspiracy, it is worth it.
The God of Conspiracy is not that half-crazy god who is so chaotic that he always only looks at what is in front of him. He has strict thinking and clear judgment, and can sacrifice some immediate benefits for the sake of long-term interests in the future.
So is the god of nobility.
After returning to the Kingdom of God, He pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.
Forget it first. As for the trump card that has been arranged long ago, you can use it later.
Anyway... that trump card will never expire.
"Admit defeat?" The God of Heroes looked at him in surprise, as if he had never seen him before, "You actually want to admit defeat on such a big thing as preaching? Aren't you just trying to attack the powerful divine power and don't care about the cost?"
"I used to think that I was, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that I was not." The God of Nobles said calmly, "If the price is too high, it is not worth it. Anyway, I have got some benefits this time, even if I don't There is a way to further expand my faith, and the benefits gained this time alone are enough to greatly shorten the time it takes for me to attack the powerful divine power."
"But if you can greatly expand the scope of your faith this time, you may be able to attack powerful divine power soon." said the Guardian God.
"Indeed, it is true, but our divine system is actually not short of powerful divine power. With you here, it is enough to assist Your Majesty. It is good that I can attack the powerful divine power now, but if it is not possible now, it will not be a bad idea to do so in a few hundred years. .”
The God of Guardians and the God of Heroes looked at each other and nodded.
"We are very happy that you think so." said the Guardian God, "Then how are you going to admit defeat? You can't just back down."
"I plan to talk to the God of Knowledge and Culture." The God of Nobility, who had already thought of a plan, said confidently, "Let Him offer some benefits in exchange for my concession. This will at least make me look better."
Soon, He put the idea into action.
The God of Nobles met with the God of Knowledge and Culture. After some negotiations between the two parties, the God of Knowledge and Culture gave up a rare treasure in exchange for the Church of the Noble God recognizing the failure of this missionary war. The two sides divided their forces through negotiations. range, ending the hostilities.
When the news came, the leaders of both churches, who had been fighting fiercely for almost a month and were exhausted and dizzy, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, almost at the same time, both parties lay on the ground in a mess and fell asleep.
