Palin is not a person who would deceive or seize the research results of his subordinates. His noble character can be described as aboveboard - this can be seen from the fact that after his soul fell into the underworld, he finally became a judge in hell.
So he reported Fela's results to Sui Xiong truthfully, and repeatedly emphasized the importance of Fela to the entire research.
In fact, the key to the discovery of the "powder washing" technology lies in an accidental experiment by Ferra.
In that experiment, Fela dissolved an excess of coarse salt in the water, stirred and vibrated it repeatedly with a machine driven by the water flow, and then... Because it was almost noon, he had agreed with the chefs to show off his skills. Forgot about it. When he came back from lunch and separated the salt and water, he relied on the chef's sense of taste and found that the taste of the salt water was different from usual.
So he conducted several more experiments and finally determined that after repeated washing of coarse salt in brine, the brine would become more bitter than usual, even more bitter than concentrated brine that can precipitate coarse salt.
Fela then studied the washed coarse salt and found that their taste was significantly lighter—not that the saltiness was lighter, but that the unique bitter taste of coarse salt was weaker.
He told Palin about this result, and after analysis and research, Palin finally invented this "Powder Washing Salt" technology.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that he was the key contributor to the discovery of powdered salt.
When Sui Xiong learned everything, he decided to talk to Fela and ask about the other party's plans.
"Your achievements are remarkable." Sui Xiong said, "If you are willing, with this merit, I am willing to promote you to follow the god. But I am not sure whether you are suitable for the priesthood. This process will have some risks."
Fela said nothing, but was not silent. His face was red, his nose was wheezing, his chest was rising and falling rapidly like a bellows, and he was obviously very excited.
Becoming a god is the biggest dream of most ordinary people in the world. No matter how great the danger is, what does it mean in the face of this dream
However, Fela did not agree easily. Instead, after regaining his composure, he asked: "Your Majesty, you must have something else to tell me, right?"
Sui Xiong smiled and said: "You are right. Rather than letting yourself fit into the existing priesthood, I prefer to let you fight for the priesthood. After all, your achievements are obvious. As long as you use your powder-washing-salt technology to With the promotion in name, and some other preparations, there is still great hope of impacting the weak divine power."
"What's the difference between the two?" Fela asked curiously, no longer excited.
"To be honest, both have risks." Sui Xiong said, "The risk of the former is that I am not sure that I can make you fit the original priesthood; the risk of the latter is that the achievements of the powder-washing salt technology are not great enough, and you yourself Not strong enough."
"If you are a strong demigod - for example, like Leon, then it is a natural thing to become a god with the powder-washing salt technology, and there is almost no obstacle. But you are only a high-level mage, and you are not even in the legendary realm. No, it is very difficult to become a god all of a sudden with this merit."
Fela was silent for a while and asked: "So, Your Majesty, what do you think I should do? Can you give me a suggestion?"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh again: "You have matured with age! If I were to make suggestions, I would suggest that you transform into a divine envoy first, and then seek to become a god from the divine envoy."
"Become a god from a divine envoy?" Of course, Fela couldn't understand what was so special about this. He looked at Sui Xiong in confusion, "Forgive my ignorance, Your Majesty, I don't understand."
So Sui Xiong explained to him in detail - when a mortal transforms into a divine envoy, he can naturally become a divine creature, an existence similar to a demigod. In this case, if you gain enough merit and become a god, the difficulty will be much lower than for a mortal to directly become a god.
But there are natural disadvantages to doing this. Since he wants to transform into a divine envoy, it is tantamount to being branded as subordinate to Sui Xiong. Even after becoming a god, one cannot gain a completely independent self. Even if he becomes a powerful god in the future, Sui Xiong can completely control him with just one thought, even making him disappear into thin air.
This kind of subordinate god is the most humble of all the subordinate gods, and generally does not have much room for growth, because no matter how much faith he obtains, he still needs to be approved by the Lord God before he can truly get it - the power of faith is available to everyone A good thing, almost no main god would give it to a slave god with little growth prospects.
And followers like Wo Er and others, although they are also subordinate to Sui Xiong, are not restricted to this death - at least, even if they encounter the most demanding master god, they are still qualified to get their own share. The power of faith will not be completely intercepted.
Of course, Sui Xiong was not the kind of mean and greedy Lord God, but he thought it was necessary to explain clearly the stakes here to Fela.
After listening to his introduction, Fela thought for a moment and made a decision.
"I choose to become an envoy of God." He said, "To be honest, with my poor wisdom, even though you explained so much to me, I don't really fully understand what you mean. But I think you want to Too much."
Sui Xiong was stunned and looked at him doubtfully.
"I am your believer. This belief is not based on blood or anything else. It is based on witnessing your achievements, enjoying your mercy, and living in the country under your guidance and guidance over the years. After repeated thinking and the test of the years, The result I got. I believe in you and my faith.”
Sui Xiong was silent. He could see Fela's heart, and there was nothing false about his words.
"You have brought the best country and the best life to this world. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be a nobody worth mentioning, maybe someone would call me in the kitchen of a certain tribe on the grassland. If you drink it, you may even have died a long time ago. I once followed Master Milomon and Master Mado all over the place. On the grassland, I met many compatriots I had never seen before. They lived in confusion and pain... The most terrifying thing is that they can’t feel pain at all! That’s what scares me and even gives me nightmares.”
"I can't imagine where I would be without you, what my people would be like in the Republic... all kinds of people, my friends, people I know and don't know, they What it would be like... It was so scary, so scary that just imagining it makes it hard for me to breathe."
"All these good things come from your glory. So why do I need to question your wisdom and kindness? To be honest, you came to ask me and asked me how I want to choose, which made me a little confused. "
He raised his head, and a peaceful and happy smile appeared on his old and thin pig face.
"You are my faith, whatever you say, I do, that's all."
