Life on the grassland makes it easy to forget time, and a magician immersed in the ocean of magic research finds it even more difficult to feel the passage of time.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Enleco and Trode had almost plowed the prairie.
The masterpiece of these two super necromancers was that a dozen hills nearly a hundred meters high and a large pothole with a radius of twenty miles and a depth of tens of meters were added out of thin air to the vast grassland.
In two months, the unremitting efforts of countless skeletons finally completed the largest civil engineering project in this century. The excavated items were also filled with two large boxes.
For these magic instruments, Trode couldn't help but admire Enleco.
Trode has never even heard of most of these items, and has no way of knowing their uses and methods of use, let alone restoring them to their original functions. But all of this is really important to Enleco. It's too easy.
What's more, the other box contains mostly magic tools that Enleco has modified himself. Those strange things are even more puzzling than the original ones that were excavated.
But it is undeniable that the things modified by Enleco are absolutely powerful. However, corresponding to their power, the magic power and magic control ability required to manipulate these magic tools are definitely not something ordinary magicians can do. Even if you want to use those artifacts, it is not easy.
What surprised Trode the most was that Enleco said in an understatement that he did not have time to study ways to reduce the magic supply and magic control requirements. As long as he had time, he would make those magic tools more perfect.
For Enleco's words that were almost arrogant, Trode really had nothing to say. He believed that for Enleco, it was absolutely natural, no doubt. But for other magicians, this is simply beyond their dreams. Even a super magician as powerful as himself can only look forward to it.
Thinking of this, Trode sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. Every time he got to know Enleco better, his frustration became stronger.
Because of this, Trode saw that the excavation work was almost in progress and nothing had been dug out for six or seven days in a row, so he reminded Enleco that it was time to return to the city.
If it weren't for this reminder, Enleco wouldn't have known to go back. Recently, he has been so happy. There are so many precious test materials piled in front of him every day, and Most's knowledge is simply endless. , new knowledge and new discoveries are waiting for him every day.
To be honest, in recent times, Enleco has become more and more trusting of his nominal master. Although Most's power is not strong, he possesses almost infinite wisdom.
On the other hand, Most is definitely an excellent instructor. He is completely different from Teacher Chris. Most has extremely detailed views and at the same time pays great attention to cultivating Enleco's own abilities. It is not just the transfer of knowledge. It is also an exchange of wisdom.
From Most, Enleco learned a lot of magic knowledge that could not be learned in Teacher Chris's laboratory. That is the essence of magic.
In Enleco's view, Chris is definitely the most powerful and knowledgeable magician.
But Chrissy is a human being after all, and her magical knowledge is based on thousands of years of accumulated human knowledge. And Most himself is a monster. To an immortal monster, thousands of years are just an abstract numerical concept. The knowledge accumulated by monsters with infinite lives is beyond the imagination of humans.
Since monsters themselves are magical beings, they naturally have a deeper understanding of the essence of magic.
According to legend, all monsters are proficient in magic, which in itself proves that monsters are far better at using magic than humans.
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s just talk about the recent legends.
In that earth-shattering decisive battle five hundred years ago, both the Alliance and the Magic Empire fought. The most powerful magician recognized by everyone is not any of the twelve magic emperors, nor is it the wise Vicadore, one of the founding heroes of Sophie in the alliance, but the rogue old wolf.
Back then, the old wolf used its super strength to fight alone against the most terrifying and dangerous magic corps in the magic empire, and the commander-in-chief of this magic corps was the Fire Emperor, one of the twelve magic emperors.
The forbidden curse "Doomsday Catastrophe" is the highest level of fire magic passed down by the Fire Emperor.
However, in the confrontation with Lao Lang, "Doomsday Catastrophe" was defeated by Lao Lang's forbidden spell magic "Collapse of Heaven and Earth".
Because of this, "The Collapse of Heaven and Earth" was called the Forbidden Curse among the Forbidden Curses by later generations, the greatest Forbidden Curse, and the strongest Forbidden Curse.
Humans have no ability to use this forbidden spell. Only monsters like Lao Lang can possess this ability.
And Most is obviously a more pure demonic creature than the old wolf, so Most's understanding of the nature of magic is definitely far better than the old wolf, but Enleco has always wondered why Most is so good at teaching others, it seems He is a born outstanding teacher.
The way it is taught is simply perfect. Could it be that schools exist in the demon world? Could it be that this guy teaches in the demon world? This is really unimaginable.
Moss especially mentioned how proud he was of Enleco's random thoughts.
He was the God of Souls back then, so he had to find suitable spokespersons among humans to spread the so-called teachings he invented. Therefore, it is inevitable to teach humans magic knowledge, and they have thousands of years of teaching experience.
Although the current soul contractor has divergent mental power and is not suitable for using magic, he is not stupid. What's more, after that inexplicable woman's inexplicable training, the guy in front of him has extremely powerful mental power. In addition, he had been exposed to the moonlight of the demon world for a long time, and the essence of the demon moon was absorbed and stored in this guy's body through the fragment of the magic light cannon.
Possessing pure activated magic elements, this soul contract person itself has become a special existence between humans and monsters. Therefore, this guy can do many things that humans cannot accomplish, but only natural demonic creatures can do it. Things that can be done.
As a human being, he has learning and creative abilities that only humans possess, which are not available to high-level demonic creatures.
The reason why I chose to seduce humans to break away from the control of gods and turn to the side of demons was precisely because I liked this special ability of humans.
※※※
Although many advanced magical creatures can also possess a high degree of wisdom through long years of accumulation, there has never been a kind of magical creature that has the ability to learn and create as universally as humans, and this ability can be inherited and cooperated from generation to generation. The inheritance continues from generation to generation, and this is definitely something that high-level demonic creatures cannot possess.
Even dragons, which are said to be the most advanced intelligent creatures with powers comparable to gods and demons, cannot do this.
Therefore, all this determines that humans are the most valuable creatures. The only regret is that humans do not naturally possess activated magic elements like other high-level magical creatures. Although humans can also use magic, it is through a complex and It can only be done in an inefficient way, and that way also has many shortcomings, and not every human being can do it.
And Enleco, who has active magic elements for various reasons, has undoubtedly become Most's best research subject.
In fact, while teaching Enleco magic, Most was also using Enleco to conduct magic experiments. However, through tens of thousands of years of experience accumulation, the methods it used were far better than Enleco's crazy teacher Kerry. Silk is much smarter.
Through long-term observation, Most discovered that through the same method, it can also create humans with the same activated magic elements, but that method is too dangerous and not very efficient.
The other method of obtaining this special human being is much simpler. That method was completely invented by humans themselves.
Humans call them breeding.
Obtain the desired offspring by selecting special male and female individuals. Humans have spent thousands of years perfecting this method.
For Most, Enleco had already been destined to be the male guinea pig.
The only trouble is where to find the other mouse? After all, even humans with high concentrations of magical elements are rare, and the number of female individuals among them is even smaller.
If there is anyone who is most suitable, that crazy woman who has also entered the devil world is the best choice. It's just that that guy is so strong that he hardly looks like a human being, and he doesn't have the ability to defeat such a powerful human being. That guy was simply more powerful and perverted than the Holy Spirit Warriors specially selected by the Gods during the war between gods and demons.
If that doesn't work, you can consider using your two loyal followers as guinea pigs. They are much easier to deal with, and as your followers, they are naturally under your control.
Most made up his mind to implement his plan, but before that, Mouse 1 needed to be stronger. If the activation level of active magic elements does not exceed 5%, it will be useless.
And before that, you must first find your own strength. Without pure strength, there is no way to carry out the plan.
Most was full of his wishful thinking, and of course Enleco, the number one guinea pig, had no idea about all this. He was still grateful for Most's earnest teachings.
However, after Trode's reminder, Enleco also noticed that it was time to go back. He was very worried. He didn't know how Bertina and Xiaoyun were doing now. Especially Bertina made Enleco even more worried. .
When Dad was still alive, there was someone who could install an emergency safety valve for Bertina so that this little girl with overflowing love would not drown herself completely.
But after dad died, this valve automatically failed. When she was here, Bertina still had some savings. Now that she has been away for so long, she doesn't know how much trouble this loving little girl has caused.
Thinking of this, Enleco also felt that he should return to Chengdaville as soon as possible.
It is at least two to three hundred miles from the grassland to Chengdaville. For ordinary people, it is not a short journey. It is impossible to reach it without three or four days of effort.
But to the two magicians, that was nothing. If it weren't for Enleco not knowing the order of the magic elements of the teleportation magic circle in the Chengdaville Magic Association, this guy would even want to draw a teleportation magic on the spot. The formation was teleported directly back.
Although the traditional magic circle was useless, Enleco took this opportunity to test his newly invented short-range teleportation magic.
This magic was something he had dreamed of for a long time.
I remember when I first met his crazy teacher Chris in the Magic Forest, I was deeply attracted by her magical teleportation magic "Telbot".
At that time, Enleco longed to learn this ancient magical magic one day.
When he was on the grassland, Enleco once asked Most for advice on this ancient magic. But Most's answer made Enleco quite discouraged. Advanced thunder magic like "Telbot" was still beyond Enleco's grasp.
This kind of advanced thunder magic requires an extremely large amount of pure wind elements. Enleco cannot store such a large amount of magic elements through magic equipment. If this could be done, it would be equivalent to creating a forbidden curse artifact, but that was impossible.
In fact, Most originally thought that advanced magic like "Telbot" would be impossible for humans to use. At least in the war between gods and demons, none of the Holy Spirit warriors used this kind of magic.
"Telbot" was originally a skill possessed by high-level warriors called "Envoys of Light" among the gods. That is not something that humans can master.
At that time, in the war between gods and demons, the God of Wisdom created the artifact "Chariot of God" in order to allow humans to have the ability to move and dodge quickly like the "Envoy of Light".
Even Most couldn't guess how that crazy woman managed to gather so many pure wind elements.
Although he was unable to use "Telbot", Most taught Enleco another short-range teleportation magic.
Although that kind of magic can only be transmitted over short distances on the ground, and the destination is difficult to determine, often with an error of several kilometers, there is no guarantee that the landing site is absolutely safe.
But for Enleco, it was better than nothing.
Enleco took out a disc carved from ink jade from the box. The disc was inlaid with small diamonds to look like a star map.
Enleco held the ink jade astrolabe and chanted the demon's incantation (this language that no one understands is also one of the achievements of the recent period).
Enleco worked very hard to finish reading those weird pronunciations that obviously did not resemble the languages possessed by humans. This language was completely different from the spells Most taught him before.
As the incantation was finished, a plume of thick smoke fell from the sky, instantly wrapping Enleco and the two boxes. Trode was originally included in it, but the evil mage was obviously not willing to let Enleco take him with him. flight.
Although Trode didn't have the ability to move quickly with two boxes, he could still move within a short distance by himself.
In fact, before talking to Enleco, Trode always thought that he was the only magician in the world with the ability to teleport. That was an ability he only had after replacing most of his body with a special life form. For this he suffered heavy losses.
I didn't expect that the short-distance teleportation magic I heard from Enleco was more magical than the last.
※※※
Enleco can carry two boxes and teleport together, which is already amazing in Trode's opinion. Unexpectedly, his teacher was even more powerful. He was actually a fighting type, able to move and fight with people at the same time.
Regarding this paragraph, Trode has been thinking about it. If Enleco's female teacher is so strong, who will be fighting her? Maybe he is no longer a human being.
Trod sighed secretly.
But now was obviously not a good time to sigh. Trod put away his chaotic thoughts and focused all his attention in the direction of Chengdaville.
Sure enough, the rendezvous signal from Enleco came from the distance.
Trode immediately turned into a ball of smoke and went underground. His short-distance teleportation magic is not as troublesome to use as Enleco. This is the only thing he can be proud of now.
In the distance, on a mound southwest of Chengdaville City, Enleco was squatting between two large boxes. He waited for Trod to come over and join him.
The short-distance teleportation magic was indeed not perfect enough. Enleco looked at the city gate in front of him. Although he could go back to the hotel first and summon some guys to help move the two boxes back, Enleco could not guarantee that he would not be there during his absence. A passer-by happened to pass by and took away the two boxes.
Even if you don't take away all the two boxes and take some things from them, it is still a big loss.
Enleco thought about it and thought it would be better to wait for Trode to come with him.
With Trode helping to summon a skeleton soldier or something, he doesn't have to move things himself, so why not? Even if it doesn't work, someone will look at the box. Judging from Trode's majestic appearance, no one would dare to steal anything.
Thinking of this, Enleco calmed down and waited patiently. He knew that Trode's teleportation magic was not as fast as his own short-distance teleportation magic, so it would take some time.
Enleco was thinking about how to spend this time. Suddenly, he thought that he didn't know what the two girls Bertina and Xiaoyun were doing now, and whether Kaz and the hotel owner were doing well or not.
For some reason, Enleco never thought of these people after staying on the grassland for two months.
Now that Chengdaville is in front of him, Enleco is anxious to know all this.
Enleco shook his head and felt funny. Is this just like the homesickness that travelers often say? Maybe he really treats that small hotel full of vigor and vitality as his second home.
The closer you are to your companions, the more intensely you miss them. Enleco suddenly thought of the soul ring. Isn't that thing capable of communicating with distant companions? Isn't the range of that thing tens of kilometers? Just used it to try to see if it works.
Thinking of this, Enleco took out the ring from his arms and put it on his right index finger.
He pointed the index finger with the ring at the sky, silently chanting the incantation of the God of Souls in his heart.
As streaks of red and blue light flashed across, Enleco's thoughts suddenly went far away. The feeling was somewhat similar to when using the rational heart, but not exactly the same.
When using the rational heart, the mind seems to suddenly become broader, and the senses become extremely sharp, as if it can detect everything. However, when using the soul ring, the mind does not feel broadened, but it feels deeper and has The powerful penetrating power can easily break open people's closed hearts and explore the depths of people's thinking.
All this is so amazing, Enleco searched repeatedly, feeling the familiar fluctuations in his soul.
But he soon discovered that it was simply unnecessary.
There are not many people in Chengdaville with strong mental fluctuations. And Bertina is the most prominent one among them. It is not difficult to find her at all, and Xiaoyun is obviously with her. As for the other few, their characteristics are also so obvious. If you guessed correctly, they should be believers of the goddess of life.
Out of curiosity, Enleco wanted to hear what they were talking about.
As he listened, Enleco frowned. Everything that happened in Chengdaville City was obviously worse than he expected. It was all a mess.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Trode asked. I don't know when this guy had arrived.
Enleco shook his head and asked: "You were once a disciple of Archbishop Meron and a loyal believer of the God of Wisdom. You should have a deep understanding of religious beliefs."
"Religious belief? It's something no one has mentioned to me for a long time. Are those goddess believers causing trouble for you?" Trode said with a smile.
However, only Enleco could understand his smile. In the eyes of others, it looked more and more ferocious.
"You guessed it right." Enleco marveled at Trode's keen analytical ability.
"I'm not as great as you think," Trode said in a tone that was obviously self-ironic: "I am definitely better than you in my understanding of those goddess believers. Don't I know their temper?"
Speaking of this, Trode's tone was full of sadness.
"Their biggest advantage is their dedication to the goddess of life, and their biggest weakness is also the same. Because of this, they can easily be exploited by others. As long as they are in the name of the goddess of life and under the banner of benefiting the common people, those goddess believers They will follow without hesitation. Besides, these guys can do nothing but help people treat their illnesses, but their ability to cause trouble is top-notch," Trode said.
Enleco listened with interest. He felt that these words seemed to be describing Bertina. Maybe it's because the two have so many similarities that they get along so well.
"But in the past, if goddess believers would cause trouble again, nothing big would happen. After all, when we first established the Goddess of Life, we positioned the teachings of the Goddess of Life to be tolerant and uncontested, just to avoid this problem that is rooted in the civilian class and is based on ordinary people. A religion that is dominated by ordinary people should try not to conflict with existing religious forces."
"You? The establishment of the Goddess Religion has something to do with you?" Enleco asked in surprise. It was hard for him to imagine that this evil mage with a ferocious appearance had anything to do with the loving and holy goddess of life.
"I'm surprised. The Goddess Cult was founded by Sai Li and I and a few other like-minded young people. Of course, Miss Sai Li was the leader." Trod said leisurely. When he said these words, His thoughts had already flown back to that era full of vigor and passion. Wasn't he like Enleco now, cleaning up the mess for that loving little girl all day long
"It turns out that you participated in the formulation of the doctrine of passiveness and complete abandonment of resistance pursued by the goddess believers. Why did you make the doctrine like this?" Enleco asked.
"In order for the Goddess Cult to survive, we didn't have as high a status as you do now, nor did we have your abilities. Although we all came from ancient noble families in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, in this kingdom that emphasizes family status, It's quite delicious inside, and as a disciple of the chief priest Mei Long, the whole church should give me some face. However, if we are stupid enough to try to change the centuries-old tradition of the Kingdom of Kaoqi, create a restaurant for the common people but encourage the common people to the nobles. As for the opposing religion, that kind of religion cannot have a foothold in this kingdom. We can only do some good things for the common people within a limited scope."
※※※
Hearing Trode's words, Enleco felt a little helpless, but at the same time he suddenly discovered something interesting. Enleco asked: "The teachings of the goddess were formulated by you. You can formulate the gods at will." doctrine, is this considered a blasphemy against God?”
"Blasphemy? Do you think the Goddess of Life really taught us any teachings? No, the God of Wisdom has no teachings, and the God of War also has no teachings. All the teachings of the gods were added by people later. What the gods represent is An order, an order that is truly meaningful when it coexists with other orders. Gods do not need to give humans any teachings. Even definitions of good and evil are not guided by gods. All definitions are formulated by humans themselves. Trode said.
"It seems that someone has revised a new doctrine for the goddess of life - a new and tougher doctrine." Enleco said helplessly.
"I had already guessed that the holy water of life invented by you and your companions has changed everything. The goddess believers have a trump card that can make them speak. Coupled with the attack of the blood fox this time, it proves the power of civilians. The goddess believers must be the first to awaken among the common people. They are supported by Bertina and supported by the magic mercenary group, and Bertina and the magic mercenary group have you, the imperial envoy and the forbidden spell It would be strange not to take this opportunity to gain a foothold with the support of the mage," Trode said.
Listening to Trode's analysis, what else could Enleco do besides express deep admiration? This couldn't be more clear. After all, this gentleman is one of the founders of the Goddess Religion. Who else knows the Goddess better than him? teach.
Seeing Enleco nodding repeatedly, Trode continued: "But no, according to my guess, there must be someone behind the changes of the goddess believers. I am very familiar with the elders who are now leading them. They are all They are not the kind of guys who pretend to be smart, and they admire Saili extremely. With their stubborn minds, I am afraid these people are the strongest opponents, and the goddess believers pay great attention to seniority and seniority. Respecting teachers has almost become a habit. Under such circumstances, to be able to bring about changes in just two months, there must be a group of people behind the scenes."
"Maybe, it seems that the Life Goddess Cult has split into two camps, one is mainly composed of the original believers, and the other is mainly young goddess believers and most civilians who believe in the Goddess Cult. You are one of the founders of the Goddess Cult. , tell me what should be done?" Enleco asked.
"Why are you asking me? I have nothing to do with gods now. What's more, I am good at analysis, but solving problems is not my specialty. Even when the Goddess Cult was formed, I was only responsible for judging what they proposed. Whether the doctrine is reasonable and whether it is beneficial to the development and prosperity of the Goddess Cult in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, as for using their brains to come up with ideas, that is Saili's business and has nothing to do with me. If you want a consultant to analyze the situation for you, then you can find me You have found the right person, if you want me to give you advice, you might as well forget it."
Hearing Trode's refusal, Enleco became worried. He sat there alone and stared at the city gate in the distance in a daze.
Trode, who was standing on the side, was busy cleaning up the place. It seemed that it was impossible to go into the city to spend the night tonight. Based on his understanding of Enleco, he knew that before he found the accurate answer, eh Lecco would never dare to go back to that place of right and wrong.
The night is getting darker. The cold wind blows in the late autumn night, and the earth is a desolate scene. In other counties, the ground may be covered with golden ears at this time, and there are harvest scenes everywhere, but in the barren Strayer County, only wormwood is growing vigorously.
This place is freezing in spring, the snow melts too late to allow sowing, and there is too much rain in summer, so only some slopes can grow water-resistant crops. After the rainy season, the land immediately becomes extremely dry, so in autumn, when others have a good harvest, nothing can be harvested here.
Therefore, the countryside of Strayer County is extremely desolate.
Originally there were two or three villas nearby, all built by wealthy businessmen in the city.
Living outside the city would keep you out of sight of the tax collectors.
But the blood fox attacks, turning the beautiful mansion into piles of ashes.
The sense of security has not yet been fully restored in this place that has been ravaged by silkworms, so no wealthy businessman plans to rebuild their homes here. For them, life and property are indeed more important than money.
Enleco huddled in the tent, wrapped in a thick felt blanket.
The cold wind was blowing in the late autumn night, and it was an all-pervasive coldness. Enleco used the wooden stick in his hand to stir up the burning bonfire in front of him.
Watching the bonfire burning brightly and dimly, Enleco felt exactly the same as the bonfire now.
"You seem to be troubled again."
A thick black smoke emerged from the ground. The smoke gradually spread and soon filled the entire tent.
Enleco is all too familiar with this scene.
However, he didn't understand why Most came out? Is this guy also interested in things involving gods
"Hahaha, of course we demons understand those serious guys better than you humans. Don't forget that we and them are natural enemies. We have been fighting for countless years. Of course, we, the biggest enemy, I have the deepest understanding." Most said frankly, apparently seeing through the thoughts in Enleco's mind.
In fact, Most did not say that it is also a god, a fake god.
This god of souls used the name of the gods to cheat and deceive everywhere, causing chaos in the world.
Hearing what Most said, Enleco believed it very much, because his personal experience told him that the enemies may be the ones who value you the most. This is like the huge contrast between the way Her Royal Highness the Princess treats herself and the way Hegeero and Somyret treat themselves.
"Those serious guys will never have the troubles you have now. In fact, those guys only care about things related to themselves and are completely indifferent to matters beyond their own authority. Many of them you now classify as a certain god. Matters of responsibility are actually not under their jurisdiction at all.”
"Take the war between you humans as an example. You insist that this is the responsibility of the God of War, but the gods have never asked you to kill each other. The real role of the God of War is to fight against us demons. That guy is the one in the war between gods and demons. The commander who commands the human legions.”
"As for the goddess of life you call, she is not a benevolent and gentle character. In my impression, that guy is the one who likes to fool around the most among the gods. In addition to the accidents we created for many Warcraft, that guy also has a share of the credit. And that guy When this guy is angry, he will cause an earthquake to vent his anger. No god can cause greater damage to human beings than this guy."
Enleco was really surprised to hear Most criticizing the gods like this. He had never thought that the image of the gods was so messed up. However, Most's words could not be completely believed. Who knew whether it was slandering the gods.
Enleco asked: "What about faith? Isn't faith conveyed to humans by the gods through their agents in the world? Do the gods also lie to their loyal believers?"
※※※
"Faith? Faith is a thing created by human beings. The gods do not ask you to have faith. In the eyes of the gods, although their respective characteristics and management orders are different, they consider themselves to be one body and cannot be separated at all. No, for example, the cycle of human life is controlled by the Goddess of Life, the God of Wisdom, the God of Love, and the God of Hades. The Goddess of Life gives human souls a new carrier, and the God of Wisdom enables humans to grow in a shorter period of time. Enough knowledge was accumulated in it, and the God of Love asked humans to cooperate with each other to create carriers for carrying souls, and the God of Hades recollected the aging souls to provide convenience for the goddess of life to give these souls life again."
"So in the eyes of the gods, they are just part of the natural laws that maintain the normal operation of the world. They do not need others to believe in them, which is of no use to their work."
"As for the spokespersons of the gods, some of them can indeed communicate with the gods. However, you should know that even when people talk to each other, there will be misunderstandings, not to mention that the minds of the gods and humans are not at the same level. On a level, misunderstandings are inevitable, and the gods do not intend to clarify this misunderstanding of humans. What's more, the proportion of real seancers like the blind man who can communicate with the God of Wisdom is quite small. As far as I know, the God of Wisdom does have a lot of seancers. That guy loves to chatter, and Hades also has some seanceers. That guy is too lonely, and few people believe in him, so he often wants to find someone who can talk. You can talk. The God of Souls has the largest number of descendants, because souls are directly related to humans, so of course they have more contact with humans. As for the God of War, that guy is not good at words at all. Since the war between gods and demons, there has never been one. I’ve heard that he has real spokesmen. As for the Goddess of Life, the God of Love, and the God of Water, they don’t care whether humans believe in them, so the number of their descendants is even rarer.”
"As for the reason why most diviners are regarded as the spokespersons of gods, most of them are because of the so-called miracles, and a considerable number of these miracles have been forged. There are also many real so-called miracles. It’s because the person who created this miracle has super power. You haven’t forgotten how the magic staff recognized you as its master. Ask yourself, do you have the ability to communicate with the God of Wisdom?”
"According to you, those teachings were created to fool others?" Enleco began to become a little confused.
"It depends on what you think. In fact, most of the people who created those teachings believe that they are the teachings of the true God and are creating a better life for people. And most faiths do do this. In fact, As long as it can make people feel that life is better, for them, what do they care about real gods and false gods? And gods will not care about these."
Although Enleco understood Most's words, he had not yet fully understood them.
Seeing Enleco's confused look, Most could only say: "The trouble you are facing now is that someone has created a belief... Maybe creation is not even talking about... It should be an improvement of a belief, but this kind of A belief conflicts with another belief, and many people are involved in this conflict. Isn’t it that simple?”
"Then what can you do?" Enleco asked eagerly.
"Isn't that easy to handle? Just don't connect these with religions, beliefs, gods, etc.? If you regard this as a battle of wits with your opponent, then everything will be solved. Of course, a battle of wits alone is not enough. , since this matter is related to the gods, it is impossible to make people listen to everything you say without a little miracle, but with your current strength, it should not be difficult to create a miracle. Fighting in this place, Except for the Necromancer outside, no one is your opponent."
"You want me to create a belief too?" Enleco asked.
"Create? There is no need to create, and there is no use in creating it. You can't spend decades promoting this kind of belief, right?"
"Then what do you do?" Enleco asked
"Creation doesn't work, you can merge. There are all kinds of weird beliefs everywhere now. No one will think it's great if you come up with a belief, and it won't solve the current dilemma. Instead of creating new beliefs, it's better to combine them All faiths are merged into one religious system. If you are the grand leader of this religious system, wouldn't that be much more prestigious than the leader of a small sect?"
"Merge? How to merge?"
"Easy, you just regard the so-called twelve main gods divided by humans as the cornerstone of your religion, and find a leader for them. By the way, the gods who created them, our demon race, and the founding god of this world are the best candidates. The Founding God is too unimpressive, so let’s change his name to God the Father.”
"Founding God? Father God? What does this god look like? Legend has it that the Founding God created the world, and he also created the gods and demons, but then he disappeared. You are the first products he created. , you should know something about this." Enleco's curiosity once again surpassed everything.
"About the Founding God, neither the demons nor the gods know anything about it. What the Founding God originally created was not this world, the gods and us demons. What he originally created was only the four elements that make up this world and all life. In the form of some messy spiritual power and huge energy. After I don’t know how many years, we demons and gods gradually gained their own consciousness. At that time, the world only had a rough outline, which we demons and gods followed. Our respective preferences changed the world. Originally, we just wanted to create a place where we could survive and establish ourselves. You humans and most of the living creatures in this world are products of that time. You humans are also very clear about the subsequent history. .After the war between gods and demons, both we and the gods all withdrew from the world we worked so hard to create, leaving it all for you humans to enjoy."
"You don't want to take back this world, do you?" Enleco asked
"I never thought that firstly, it would be inevitable to fight against the gods again. The demons don't have that kind of strength now. Secondly, for us demons, energy is a more important thing. Your world's energy tends to It is difficult for us to absorb stability, and although the demon world has nothing, it does have endless energy. Most demons there live quite happily, and there is no need for us to compete with you for this world."
"Then why did you try every possible means to escape? Don't you like the devil world very much?" Enleco asked
"Me? I am an alien among the demon clan. I like the colorful world. The demon world is too boring, but this world is interesting. Wouldn't it be good for me to come out? I have helped you a lot."
"By the way, what are the Father's Cult going to do?" Enleco then thought that he had something serious to talk about.
"Do you know why those two beliefs conflict with each other?"
Hearing Most's question, Enleco shook his head repeatedly.
"That's because these two beliefs have conflicts of interest with each other. Human beings have many ways to eliminate conflicts of interest. They can be summed up in two ways. One is to completely eliminate one of them, and the other is to bargain with each other to survive together. You just have to lead them to the second path. The reason why such a big conflict occurs is because someone instigates it. Now, in those two faiths, all the say is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and their opinions are often It is too dangerous to influence the direction of all believers. Another point is that there are many conflicts between the teachings of the two faiths and anyone can change them at will, which creates many good excuses for conflict."
"So what should I do?" Enleco asked
※※※
"Use Fatherism to bring these two faiths together, build a magnificent and huge cathedral, and provide them with a place to quarrel face to face."
"Quarrel?" Enleco became increasingly confused.
"When you quarrel often, you can vent the accumulated conflicts little by little, so it won't cause too serious conflicts. Moreover, the consequences of quarrels are often accompanied by a certain degree of compromise. Then everything is solved, isn't it? We need to give them a place to quarrel, and we need to provide them with an environment to quarrel, and more people need to participate in their quarrels, and more people need to quarrel.”
"People always want more helpers around when they quarrel, so using this method to spread their power can make them completely unaware. You can first let the representatives of both parties negotiate face to face, and allow them to bring four assistants at the same time. During the negotiation process, you can slightly favor the eloquent party, but don't solve all the things at once, and only solve a small part of the things at a time. Next time, both parties will definitely bring more eloquent assistants. When the time is right, you can Announced that the number of negotiators will be increased to six, eight, or even twelve, and each representative can select four to six assistants. This will unknowingly expand the number of people who can make decisions several times, and among these people must be If there are disagreements, you provide a place for them to quarrel and let them quarrel every day to release their strong energy."
"In addition to letting them quarrel every day, you can also find something to do for them. The Father's Theory must unify the beliefs. It will not work if it does not make up for the contradictory points in the various beliefs. Moreover, as a unified religion, in No other faith can exist outside of your God the Father religion. If it wants to exist, it must follow your method. If you want to do this, you will never be able to do it alone. You must work hard. Taking advantage of the loyal beliefs of those believers, as a unified religion, it is not enough without a complete doctrinal system. You let those believers, whether they are the God of Wisdom, the God of War, or the Goddess of Life, and let those believers with high prestige and savvy brains gather together Together, let these people compile a detailed and complete doctrine that does not omit any flaws. This doctrine needs to include the beliefs of all gods. No matter what quarrels occur, it must be documented in this scripture. "
"I'm afraid it's a big project, right?" Enleco asked.
"Of course, the purpose is to make this project bigger and better. In the name of this incomparable holiness, we will catch the smarter ones among these people and let them engage in this seemingly great but actually meaningless work all day long. , letting them bury themselves in a pile of paperwork all day long. Only in this way will there be no conflict between the believers under their control, because these guys’ energy is consumed by a lot of paperwork.”
"In this way, no one will organize believers to have conflicts, and because the upper echelons of the sect are relatively large, their opinions will definitely not be unified. This will avoid uncontrollable conflicts between sects, and the conflict will inevitably become It leads to frequent quarrels, and there is no harm in quarreling behind closed doors.”
"How to do it specifically?" Enleco asked further
"Simple, after you go back, let them negotiate first. I have just told you what to do during the negotiations. After several negotiations, you can encourage the upper levels of both parties to set up a parliament hall specifically for negotiation. Wait until they get used to each other. After mastering this bargaining method, you can further expand the parliament hall into two chambers for fixed religious discussions. The upper chamber is responsible for negotiations between sects and sects and discussions on the unity of faith, while the lower chamber provides various services. Members within the sect discuss the strategies they need to use in negotiations and the terms they are willing to accept, as well as the members of the House of Lords who are responsible for the negotiations.”
"When the time is right, throw out the bait of God the Father, and arrange for those people to revise the complete canon. Give them ten years to slowly organize and improve the canon. Ten years should be enough time for them to complete the canon. The system has stabilized."
After hearing what Most said, Enleco gradually had a clear outline of what to do.
At the same time, he also felt that Most's attention should be successful. Most just grasped the weakness deep in people's hearts and proposed this solution.
Whether they are followers of the God of War or the Goddess of Life, they hope that as many people as possible will follow their opinions.
Most's idea is actually to gather these people and let them argue in a place where there are only people like them. Without the help of believers, such conflicts and arguments will not cause major oscillations. .
For most believers below, the upper-level religious forces are just an abstract concept, and no specific person can control them. This would avoid a very wide-ranging, comprehensive conflict of beliefs.
Most was extremely happy there, knowing that his idea had already greatly moved the little contractor's heart. If he does this, the so-called belief in gods will inevitably be contaminated with more and more philistine elements.
Before that, although not all of those believers firmly believed in their gods, the majority of believers had devout beliefs. If this was done, the power of religion would definitely spread further, but the real Believers must have become increasingly rare over time.
Most was secretly amused. It seems that today, tens of thousands of years later, it has finally completely corroded mankind's belief in those annoying guys. Although now, as the only demon clan left in the world, victory or not is no longer relevant. , but at least in the contest with the guy called the God of Wisdom, it finally won.
As long as he thought about trampling on that guy's so-called wisdom, Most was extremely happy.
