The child Beta was referring to was only about nine years old, and he was wearing a brand new linen garment.
Seeing Beta pointing at him, the little guy was a little shy, and immediately shrank behind his father, stretching out a small face and looking at Beta timidly.
The adult who was asking the question just now was the child's father. He patted the little guy on the head and said, "Go quickly, Your Excellency Beta is calling you."
The little guy looked at his father, then walked slowly to Beta.
Beta smiled gently at him, and then touched the little guy's head with his right hand. After a faint golden light flashed, he let go of his hand, and the onlookers unanimously said, "Wow!"
It turned out that a pale golden flame appeared on the little guy's head, shaking slightly.
This is the fire of faith! It will appear after the degree of faith reaches a certain value. Depending on the deity's role, its color and shape vary slightly.
Beta pointed to the golden flame and said: "This is the symbol of the goddess believer. You can't usually see it, but we priests of the goddess can see it clearly. Those who have this level of flame, their family can be blessed by the goddess And promise. Tomorrow we will send people to the children’s home to build them a new stone house. And this little guy can learn characters for free, and I will teach them myself.”
The crowd burst into an uproar... They had heard other gods boast before that those who believed in me would live forever, but in this world, how many people can live forever. But here in Wojin Temple, it is a real benefit, building a house, teaching literacy. Now they have decided that those who have no faith will directly believe in Goddess Wojin, and if they have faith, they will directly convert!
As the child's father, the adult who spoke just now was so excited that he was almost speechless.
"Quiet."
Under the sound protection technique, Beta's unhurried voice overwhelmed the noise of nearly a thousand people talking loudly, and the people quickly quieted down.
Beta continued: "I also plan to build a school next to the temple to teach children literacy. But only children who believe in Woking can go to school. The most important point is that free education!"
At this time, the surroundings were still very quiet, not because they were not excited and happy, but because Beta called them 'quiet' just now, so they didn't dare to shout, for fear of disobeying the noble priest in front of them, if they make him angry, don't It would be terrible to let your children learn words.
Beta looked ahead of her, eyes filled with excitement and excitement, and nodded with satisfaction: "The temple will open tomorrow morning, and anyone who is willing to come in to pray is very welcome. But, remember what I said, Goddess Wojin People who love cleanliness. You must take a shower and then come in with clean clothes.”
After Beta finished speaking, she turned and entered the temple. As he moved, the gate of the temple slowly closed, isolating all the civilians from the temple.
The moment the door closed, there was a shocking cheer outside the door: "Goddess Woking is here!"
Beta smiled, with such benefits, more and more people would be willing to believe in Woking. It doesn't cost much to help them build a stone house, but teaching their children to read and write is even more cost-effective. Because children are a blank sheet of paper, let them be smeared, and in the process of teaching them, it is completely possible to instill Woking's beliefs into their consciousness without knowing it.
When these children grow up, they will be devout followers of Woking, and most importantly, Woking's priests can choose from these children.
High loyalty, high IQ, high quality! Is there a better deal than this
Beta is very confident about this.
Because there are already excellent examples of this. The children in Reed Village are all followers of Woking, and they are very capable. Six young children, leading a group of people, were able to build underwater passages, roads, and even the religion without any mistakes. This kind of ability and quality, in this world, is already considered a good talent.
How much a religious religion can develop has a lot to do with its priests and assistants. Beta knew that if he wanted to develop the Volcanism, he had to cultivate more talents.
He opened the temple management system, looked at the number of shallow believers that kept rising inside, and smiled happily.
Although shallow believers still have a certain distance from becoming true believers, it is already a very good thing to increase such a large number all of a sudden. Moreover, these superficial believers are all potential true believers. With a good start, the next thing will be much easier.
When Beta was happy, Shirley next to her suddenly rushed over. She put her arms around Beta's right hand, and her whole body was almost glued to his body.
She looked at Beta adoringly with a pair of winking eyes: "I can feel the huge belief gathering, I can feel that the goddess is very happy in the Kingdom of God, and I can also feel that the strength of the goddess has increased... Beta, you really It's too powerful, no wonder the goddess values you so much."
But Beta took it for granted. After three months of preparation and layout, if he still can't achieve this level, then he really should review his ability.
"Xue Li, there will definitely be many people coming to pray tomorrow morning. Then you will go to the chanting platform and explain to them the teachings of our temple."
"Hey, is this okay?" Shirley's eyes were shining brightly.
No wonder she is so happy. She is a divine creature created by the goddess Woking. In essence, she is the divine clone of the goddess. If it is more detailed, she can barely be regarded as Woking's daughter. The two go hand in hand. Woking became powerful by attracting the power of Faith, and she could too.
In fact, just now she also attracted some dissipated power of faith and gained some benefits. If she went to the chanting platform, led the believers to pray, and had close contact, she could absorb more power of faith, which would be of great help to her strength improvement.
That's why she's so happy.
Beta patted Shirley on the head: "I say yes!"
"Wow, master, you are so kind to me, let me warm your bed at night... ah."
Beta directly threw Shirley out of the window.
The next day it was light, the gate of the temple opened, and many poor people who had been queuing outside for most of the night came in. They sat down one by one, looked at Shirley who was emitting a faint golden light on the chanting platform, and then closed their eyes. Listening to Shirley's teachings, his consciousness soon became ethereal.
In the tranced soul world, they vaguely saw a woman in golden armor who looked exactly like Shirley, but was more temperamental and holy than Shirley. Somehow they understood that this person was the goddess Woking.
Shirley is a divine creature, and if she sings the teachings, it will be easier to strengthen the faith connection between gods and believers.
Seeing the appearance of the goddess, all believers felt extremely happy and extremely satisfied. They closed their eyes and shed tears, but did not cry. After about ten minutes, they stood up with smiles on their faces, walked out of the temple, and gave their place to the next praying believer.
The world is full of suffering and hardships, and people's hearts are branded with confusion and pain, but kind gods can guide people's hearts to happiness and joy.
From the point of view of a materialist like Beta, this is actually just a kind of mental paralysis, which can be regarded as a mental drug to put it harshly. But he understands that people in this world cannot live without these beliefs... Not to mention this world, even in a world without gods like Earth, people will imagine a few gods and give their hearts to them.
The preaching was very successful. Every day, one or two shallow believers were converted into real believers, and a large number of ordinary civilians were converted into shallow believers.
The news that a temple was built in a slum quickly spread throughout the city. After learning the benefits of believing in Goddess Woking, those ordinary citizens also went crazy. After they asked the people in the slums about the rules of the Temple of Woking, they also began to join the trend of believing in the goddess Woking. After all, the two points of free house building and free education are enough to attract most ordinary people.
A large number of shallow believers brought a lot of faith contributions. Beta looked at the temple management interface and found the magic exchange list. After some weighing, he chose a new magic.
"Guardian of Faith!"
According to the quality of the sacrificed coins, bronze guards\/silver swordsmen\/golden knights\/three elemental creatures with different strengths can be summoned as guards to assist the summoner in the battle.
Beta tested it. The strength of these three guards is linked to his own level. The bronze guards are weaker than him in melee combat, and the silver swordsman is comparable to him. As for the Golden Knight, judging from the panel, he is much stronger than himself, but Beta can feel that these three elemental creatures are very dull, soulless, and easy to understand.
At least Beta felt that if he wanted to fight the Golden Knight, it would not be difficult to deal with two at the same time.
When he was about to conduct a more detailed test to see what special abilities these three guards had, Shirley told him that a bishop had come outside, claiming to be a believer in Eros.
Eros
Beta was a little puzzled, did he come to help Claude find his place again
Although he felt that the other party was not kind, he still invited the other party into the temple.
The visitor was a man who looked about the same age as Beta. Around early 20s too. It's just that he looks ordinary, but when he smiles, he gives people a very sunny feeling.
Now Beta is even more surprised. The believers of Cupid are generally women. First came an old man like Claude, and now a young man came. Could it be that the doctrine of Cupid has changed now and started to favor men? Preached in groups
Before the bishop came in, he was surprised to see Shirley. He could tell that Shirley was a divine creature, but he still held back his surprise and said with a friendly smile: " Your Excellency, let's form an alliance."
