Chapter 189: Unity
Among the main ingredients for the Pen of Lies are the blood of the Aesirs, the Golden Fleece, the waters of the Sea of Death, and the Stone of Elfheim.
Among them, the blood of the Aesir is Loki's own blood, and Loki's identity is very noble, he is the brother of the main god Odin, and the preciousness of his blood can be imagined.
In addition, the main body of the Pen of Lies is made of one of the most powerful feathers on the body of Typhon's heir, Harpye, the harpy, which can extract the power of the ancient god Typhon.
As for the Golden Fleece, the waters of the Sea of Death, the Elfheim Stone is also a very rare transcendent item, and its power is also indispensable to the newly awakened Athena.
In addition to eating a full meal, people need to consume different trace elements to thrive.
When cooking, the chef can eat it if he only puts salt on the table, but he has to add a variety of seasonings to make it delicious.
In addition to the most important wish to worship, the gods also need the infusion and harmony of various extraordinary powers to make their own power stronger!
Athena's recovery in this era of the end of the law, it is already very difficult to regain its former glory, and the pen of lies that Fang Linyan brought to her at this time may not have an immediate effect in a short period of time, but there is no doubt about its future potential expansion.
If Athena's development ceiling was only ten before, then after this one more lie, her development ceiling will become fourteen or fifteen!
Not only that, but the most powerful power in the pen of lies revolves around the priesthood of the evil god Loki: lies, which contains the power to make lies true.
Athena herself is one of the twelve main gods of Olympia, and if she can integrate the laws of power in it, although she cannot use it to get involved in the priesthood of lies, she can gain a new power: that is the oracle!
For example, God said there should be light, then there really is light....... This is the classic oracle.
Or, to put it more appropriately, it's to walk the talk.
Of course, this method must have come from Athena's own divine power, and it can only fulfill some small wishes at present, and basically will not go beyond the scope of divine magic that the high priest can cast.
For example, the High Priest can only perform third-order divine skills at most, so the power of the oracle is limited to the third-order divine arts, but it is better to be flexible.
After the high priest got the pen of lies, he immediately came to the statue of the goddess as soon as possible, and then sacrificed it, and the image of the goddess immediately shone brightly, and then directly began to digest and absorb the sacrifice with all his strength.
And after Fang Linyan sent out this pen of lies, he was already quite painful.
Although this thing has a lot of restrictions on use, and the use area is also very narrow, but no matter how you say it, it is also a powerful golden plot equipment!
But to be honest, the high priest's previous arrangement also made his eyes shine, as if he had found a new way.
The final result of going it alone is definitely not as strong as forming a team.
Or to put it more bluntly, if Fang Linyan has one more player, then the efficiency can be increased by two percent.
Fang Linyan had always been on guard against the high priest's side before, what he was afraid of was the formation of a weak master and a strong customer, and the other party would completely control himself, so he just regarded it as the other party to the transaction.
Therefore, when Fang Linyan considered his own strength, he did not take Athena's aspect into account.
But now Fang Linyan has a certain understanding of the situation in the whole world, knowing that there are evil gods like Oda Nobunaga in this world, not only that, if Athena wants to develop her faith, she must also face great enemies like God and Allah in Europe.
Under such external pressure, being Athena's only ally, and being able to bring him sacrifices to increase his divine power from time to time, must be extremely important to him.
Correspondingly, he also gained a powerful skill from Athena, which means that the cooperation between the two sides will continue in a short time, or even a long time.
It can be expected, at least until the external pressure is resolved.
Therefore, Fang Linyan's mind has changed a little now, and the relationship between Athena's side has been repositioned, from a transaction object to a cooperation object.
In that case, of course, he would not be polite, and when he thought it through, he went directly to the high priest Tritogonia.
It turned out that the high priest was in retreat, but the rest of the people did not dare to neglect him, so he was received by another celebrity: Evelyna.
The chief priest was the one who succeeded the former Raiscari, and in his absence, three priests presided over the affairs, one of which was Ivrina.
When she was getting along with the rest of the people, she had a kind of gentleness with a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, but she was still quite enthusiastic about Fang Linyan.
Fang Linyan didn't say much, and said straight to the point:
"I wonder how many devout believers the goddess has now?"
According to the degree of belief, believers are divided into six levels: ordinary, shallow, believer, devout, fanatical, and divine.
Needless to say, fanatical believers among them.
The devout believer's belief in the goddess is almost as strong as that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who has just pursued the girl of his dreams.
Therefore, devout believers are already a very important part of the believers in the gods.
And Evelyna said very simply:
"The power of my god is enormous, and there are twenty-three thousand and forty-one devout believers and fanatical believers!"
Fang Linyan was slightly taken aback, Athena's followers were expanding much faster than he had imagined.
However, this is the city of Athens, a city that thrived in the name of the goddess, and the legend of the goddess has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is enough soil.
What is even more rare is that this is the era of the end of the law, but there are still gods such as the high priest walking on the earth, from time to time to perform miracles, in the absence of competitors, such a more than 20,000 fanatical believers are understandable.
After listening to Evelyna's words, Fang Linyan said:
"How many of these devout and fanatical believers are engaged in mechanical manufacturing and processing, can you count them?"
Evelyna said:
"It takes about two hours. ”
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Yes, I need to establish a research institute related to machining, and the things processed in it may involve very secret information, so I value the loyalty of recruiting employees...... The high priest suggested that I recruit from among the believers. ”
Hearing that this was the high priest's suggestion, Evelyna was immediately moved:
"I see! Okay, I'll look into it right away. ”
Fang Linyan suddenly said again at this time:
"By the way, Priest Evelyna, I don't know much about the relationship between divine power, willpower, and priesthood, so I would like to ask you to clear up my doubts. ”
Evelyna groaned and said:
"You've probably heard of a giant snake that hunts prey in the summer when food is abundant, and hibernation in the winter when food is scarce. ”
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Well, my teacher told me about it when I was in elementary school. ”
Evelyna said very seriously:
"For the gods, the power of prayer is food, which is the basis for the survival of the gods. ”
"If there is a lack of willpower, the gods will gradually weaken, and finally they will go into a dormant state in order to minimize consumption, and if the willpower continues to decrease, even the gods will eventually die. ”
"This process is actually similar to the giant snake hunting and hibernating. ”
Among Athena's incarnations is a serpent, and there are people who praise her for her beauty as a serpent, so Evelyna's metaphor is not a blasphemy.
Even the origin of the gods in the Eastern civilization is inextricably linked with snakes, such as Nuwa and Fuxi are half-human and half-snake, and the Chinese dragon culture is actually evolved from snakes.
After hearing her words, Fang Linyan immediately nodded and said:
"I see, yes, it's clear. ”
Evelyna said:
"And divine power is equivalent to the power derived from a person who has eaten enough food. The power that erupts after a child and an adult are well fed is very different. ”
Correspondingly, the power that erupts from a new god during the growth period is completely different from the power that erupts from a mature deity. ”
Fang Linyan nodded thoughtfully:
"I understand, but although the size of the power is very important, but the skill of using the power is also important, such as the skill of my god to use divine power, it is not comparable to an evil god like Oda Nobunaga, the same unit of divine power, the goddess uses its lethality to burst out, it is estimated that it is several times that of the rest of the gods. ”
Evelyna cast an approving look and said:
"Yes, absolutely. ”
"And the priesthood is equivalent to the profession of human beings, and my god is the god of war (strategy), the god of wisdom, and the skill in this field must have an advantage. ”
"But there are no gods who are not necessarily weak in some areas, just as it is true that a professional soldier may not be able to win against civilians in battle. ”
After figuring out the various relationships, Fang Linyan went straight back to the room and started his work.
And Iverina's efficiency is also very fast, it only took an hour and a half to send more than a dozen resumes directly to Fang Linyan's side.
"These are people who have worked in the machining industry and have no problem with loyalty. ”
Fang Linyan nodded, then looked at the resume very simply, and then directly wrote a few questions to her and asked her to do the questionnaire.
