Chapter 504: Are You Also a Believer in a Strange God?
After confirming that the preparation time left for him was quite sufficient, Jiang Yan looked at Lux again.
"Since you have so much time, Doctor, you want me to lead Hal and them to the Dragon God Festival, right?
Lux glanced at Jiang Yan with some confusion, and replied: "If I am here, I will train Hal and them according to the original plan, and after five years, Hal and they will almost be adults, and others are not easy to say, but with Howl's qualifications, if it goes well, they may be able to grow to the level of a high military rank." ”
"Is a 17-year-old military-level high-level ......?" Jiang Yan frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "It may be enough for ordinary people, but I'm afraid it's a little bit worse for this special 'Dragon God Sacrifice', right?"
Jiang Yan's current cultivation realm is the second-level limit, which is equivalent to the limit of the military-level elf envoys in this world, but because he was only dragged down because of the injury of the true spirit, if he broke out with all his strength, Jiang Yan actually had the confidence that he could have a few moves with the local third-level masters.
And after five years, he is afraid that he will be able to completely heal the true spirit injury, and his cultivation will be able to recover to his former heyday, and it is even possible that he will go further.
Therefore, participating in the "Dragon God Festival" is not too stressful for Jiang Yan, but this is only when he is alone, after all, listening to Lukes's previous meaning, this "Dragon God Festival" is likely to have the form of team combat, and Jiang Yan also hopes to find more help from the participants.
However, Jiang Yan suddenly thought of some information, so he asked Lux, "Doctor, is this time the Dragon God Festival the same as in the past, with restrictions on the age of the participants?"
"That's right. As Jiang Yan expected, Lukes immediately gave him an affirmative answer: "The requirement is that you must not be more than twenty years old." ”
"No more than twenty years old, no wonder you're putting the matter on me." After hearing this restriction, Jiang Yan finally dismissed his plan to select people from his own handset team to form a team to participate in the Dragon God Festival.
According to Jiang Yan's estimation of this "Dragon God Festival", the strength of the 'military level (second-level)' rank is probably the passing line, and even if the participants below this passing line participate, I am afraid they can only become cannon fodder.
Jiang Yan's current submachine has a lot of subordinates who can be pulled out to make up the number, and there are some whose strength has reached the second level, but obviously their age does not meet the conditions for participation in the "Dragon God Festival", those who can have good strength under the age of twenty are all extremely talented, this kind of people are all core elite personnel who have been carefully cultivated by various forces with a lot of resources, but it is not something that Jiang Yan can easily turn around.
Even if Jiang Yan has now begun to set up an outright subordinate institution such as an orphanage, and search for potential children from the people to be cultivated as excellent seeds, if he can casually search for buried geniuses, wouldn't those old local forces be blind?
In this case, Hal under Lux is a good choice, and now they are still underage, and they have all reached the first-class level of the military rank, and if they grow up for a few more years, they will at least be enough to not drag Jiang Yan back in the Dragon God Sacrifice.
However, if it was just to the extent that he didn't lag behind, Jiang Yan wouldn't be satisfied.
A few thoughts quickly turned in Jiang Yan's mind.
"Doctor, since you want me to lead the team, then I hope you can take advantage of the five years to train Harr and them well, no problem, right?"
"Oh, do you have any good ideas?" asked Lukes, a gray brow, curious.
Jiang Yan smiled and said nothing, but a look of confidence appeared on his face.
After staring at Jiang Yan for a few seconds, Lux's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he asked coldly, "Do you want to teach them the strange and extreme fighting methods of your black-clothed guards, so that Hal and them can ...... Become a believer in a different god?"
Jiang Yan smiled secretly, his face was furrowed, and he said with a little surprise: "Doctor, do you know?"
"Isn't it strange? A few nights ago, you were attacked by the remnants of the Grund family, although the garrison bureau has blocked the information in time, but the well-informed people already know some inside information, you should be able to feel that your villa is under some prying eyes on weekdays, right?"
Jiang Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with some distress on the surface: "I can feel it, but they hid it very well and didn't really bother me, so I can only pretend not to see it." ”
Glancing at his distressed look, a look of curiosity appeared in Lukes' eyes: "You and Angus's old ghost have some means, and you have directly recruited so many alien god believers to serve you." ”
Then, Lux's eyes sharpened, staring at the expression on Jiang Yan's face, as if he didn't want to let go of any trace of his emotional changes at the moment, and asked in a heavy tone: "Boy Yan, speaking of which, your strength growth rate is too abnormal, should it ...... Are you also a believer in 'alien gods'?"
"Believers of the Alien Gods" is a kind of name for Jiang Yan's sub-machine contractors who are exposed to the eyes of the world, and the countries on this side of the Western Continent basically call them that, which means believers who believe in 'some mysterious existence of unknown identity'.
Of course, this is actually a nice way to put it.
Jiang Yan's sub-machine contractors are all high-potential seeds that he has carefully selected from the wisdom brains, and each of them has a high-level wisdom brain that secretly acts as a mentor for one-on-one training, there are cultivation exercises, and there are also software with data abilities to help cheat, they not only grow quickly, but also often have a lot of special talents. Many forces on the Western Continent have captured a small number of contractors with bad character who committed heinous crimes after gaining extraordinary power, and then secretly conducted research, but thanks to the constraints of Jiang Yan's magical submachine contract, they have not been able to dig out any real secrets.
Even if he forcibly used secret techniques such as memory reading on the captured alien god believers, and even searched for their souls regardless of the cost, he still failed to obtain the true information of the mastermind behind the scenes, and even with the help of secret techniques such as divination and prophecy, it was also in vain. Well, a certain church's prognostic technique has also failed.
The only information that can be discovered by all forces is that these contractors are all contracted by a mysterious existence whose true body is unknown, and the strange abilities on their bodies are all given by that mysterious existence.
Although it is impossible to know how powerful that 'mysterious being' is, after being unable to find out more information, many forces have begun to pay attention to their attitude towards these 'alien god believers', and also call that mysterious existence 'alien gods'.
The reason why the word 'god' is given is because at least the ability of that mysterious existence is very magical, and the other party can easily give many special abilities to ordinary people at will, so that ordinary people can become extraordinary beings with good strength overnight, and there are almost no outrageous side effects! Whether it is knowledge or power, basically as long as you can think of it, the other party can directly give it to its followers!
Well, when asking for some more powerful powers from the 'alien gods', although there will be side effects such as life loss, compared to some rumored evil and terrifying 'evil gods and demons' who take away your lifespan for decades or even directly take away your soul at every turn, at least this 'alien god' is much more 'merciful', and the 'price' charged by the other party is completely worth the 'power' it gives to believers.
Sometimes, it seems that if the other person is in a good mood, the believer can directly obtain the 'power' given by the other party without even having to pay the 'price'.
This kind of magical ability that directly confers 'power' is like a blessing from a god in the eyes of the world! Or maybe the other party may be an unknown god!
Just like some known great beings on the continent, such as the "Lord" of the Holy Light Church, who can give its followers the power of "Holy Light", and the "Dragon God" of the Empire, who can also give the people the power of "Dragonborn", many people have speculated that this "other god" may also be similar to them.
Of course, for those forces that already have a belief object in their own right, they will never admit the legitimacy of this "alien god" that appeared out of nowhere, and the so-called "alien god" is a kind of name like a code name with some informal connotations.
And the Holy Light Church, its heresy inquisition, has publicly named this "alien god" as an "evil god and demon", clamoring to defeat it.
It's a pity that even the powerful group of prophecy priests within the Holy Light Church have tried their best to predict the information of this 'alien god', but instead it proves the persuasiveness of the other party as a 'god'-level existence - after all, if it is a weak false god, how can it resist the prying eyes of the prophecy technique blessed by the "Lord" who has the "Lord" who has the faith of the church?
And found that the church that could not directly find the foreign gods to carry out the crusade, and then retreated to the target of the heretical crusade on the so-called believers of the foreign gods, and really defeated some of the foreign god believers, as a result, it seemed like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the church's strongholds in the Western Continent began to be constantly attacked by mysterious forces.
Although there are very few, the Holy Light Church has not caught some attackers, and it turned out that the other party is all believers of other gods, and the firmness of their faith seems to be no worse than that of the believers under their church.
Some church torturers who were not cautious enough were even dragged to their death by the other party's sudden outburst, and they got into a commotion without gaining anything.
In addition, the way in which these cultists are born is even more puzzling, there are almost no specific rules, and you may even be completely unaware that a very ordinary farmer in the roadside farmland quietly joins the command of the alien god and becomes a new believer of the other party.
This led to the Holy Light Church actively crusading for a while, only to be shocked to find that these heretics were like weeds, cutting one stubble and then soon another stubble would emerge, and then continuing to attack the strongholds of the Holy Light Church and the clergy who went out with the slogan 'For my God!'.
The strongholds of the church on this side of the Western Continent are weak due to the intentional or unintentional joint exclusion of various countries, mainly due to the influence of the Duragon Empire, but the main place of activity of the cultists of the different gods is in the Western Continent, even if the churches want to crusade, they do not have the advantage of the main location, and the other big countries are sitting and watching the believers of the different gods and the church fight to the death, which makes the priests of the church feel very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the recent convening order issued by the church to prepare for the "selection of the Holy Son", and the people and horses from all the strongholds in the Western Continent were withdrawn to the home of their own forces in the Eastern Continent, I am afraid that the two sides would continue to fight to the death.
However, the church took the initiative to withdraw, although seeing that the church, which had always been very strong in the past, was deflated, which made the high-level rulers of the Western Continent a little happy, but when they thought of those alien believers in their own territory, the high-level people were a little tired again.
Most of them have adopted the monarchical ruling system to govern the country, of course, the Western Continent knows the harmfulness of religion, otherwise they will not be unfavorable to the theocratic supremacy, **** Holy Light Church and Church.
The crazy faith of the cultists who are not afraid of life and death is no worse than the group of faith fanatics in the Church of the Holy Light, and they can't help but worry about whether these cultists will threaten the stability of their own rule.
The reason why the Holy Light Church's various strongholds in the Western Continent were quickly withdrawn was probably because of the intention of letting the remaining believers of the other gods go to the trouble of the countries of the Western Continent.
However, in the end, they all seemed to be wrong, and after the enemy of the Holy Light Church retreated, the believers of the other gods actually became peaceful and guarded one after another, without breaking the law and discipline, and did not impact the existing social order, these believers basically continued to do what they should have done.
Not even the blatant proselytizing actions of gangs took place.
Of course, this is not to say that there are no cultists of other gods who have suddenly gained supernatural powers and run out to harm society.
Although there were some minor frictions, the high-ranking people of various countries soon discovered that they would not be retaliated against in the same way that the Holy Light Church had done before them, after they had been arrested and punished according to their own governance methods.
It seems that as long as they don't take the initiative to harm these alien believers for no reason, then they will obediently be a good citizen.
Of course, this alone is not enough to make the forces of the various forces let down their guard against the cultists of the gods, but the tricky thing is that the way the cultists of the gods are born is so magical that it is completely impossible to catch them.
You must know that even believers, worshippers, and contractors of the demon species will have a set of detection methods, for example, the people of the Holy Light Church are very good at it, as long as a spell of the "Holy Light Baptism" series containing a high concentration of divine aura is cast, the demon contractor with the power of the demon will often be exposed. Even if it is not a church, other forces have various means to target and detect this kind of cult believers.
However, the believers of the other gods are different, there is no unified attribute camp and regular characteristics in the nature of their power, and there is no feasible special means of targeting, basically no matter what kind of detection method can not distinguish the difference between them and normal people, the only way to identify them seems to be to force them to actively reveal their identity.
Add to that the unknown means of the birth of believers...... The rulers of the nations found themselves unable to eradicate the followers of the alien gods in their own land!
Unless, these monarchies in the Western Continent also follow the example of the Church of the Light, forcibly brainwashing their people to make them mentally resist the temptation of foreign gods.
However, with the extraordinary knowledge and power that can be gained at a modest cost, can ordinary people resist this temptation?
In particular, although this world is much better than many ancient times in terms of productivity because of the germination of modern spiritual guidance technology, the gap between the rich and the poor is still very obvious.
People who live in abundance may be able to resist the temptation of unknown risks, but it is difficult to say about the poor, and there are almost everywhere in this world. If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
