The middle-aged elf Will invited Lin Shui, who was disguised as an elf wandering warrior, to join the wandering group, but was ultimately rejected by Lin Shui.

After all, Lin Shui had just come to the slums of Landu City, and he didn't know anything yet, and he didn't want to join any messy organization because of other people's words.

Besides, even if Lin Shui, who was alone and had been blessed three times, did not think that these people in front of him, who could only survive in the slums, could cause him any danger to his life.

"On the battlefield where tens of millions of people are fighting, those powerful elven mages can't help me. Could it be that this slum is more dangerous than the battlefield, and the people who live here are more powerful than those powerful elven mages? ”

Leaving the tavern alone, Lin Shui muttered to himself. For those who live in this kind of quagmire but still want to "claim the king", it can be said that they are disdainful to the extreme.

Therefore, after leaving the tavern, he saw that it was getting late, so he casually found a hotel to stay in. And when he checked into the hotel, he deliberately showed his wealth, intentionally or unintentionally showing his worth.

And then someone was fooled because of this.

Wealth touches people's hearts. At night, two thieves who didn't know the height of the sky went to Lin Shui's room to steal things, but they were caught by Lin Shui. Easily captured on the spot.

The two thieves fell to their knees and begged for mercy, saying that they were forced to steal the money. The Bloody Hand Gang is now getting more and more powerful, and not long ago they even extended their hands to their thieves. Threaten them with force and have to make a monthly confession.

The two thieves disagreed at first, but the Bloody Hands immediately arrested their relatives. The two had no choice, so they had to take the risk to come to Lin Shui to steal.

When Lin Shui learned about this, he saw that the tone and demeanor of the two thieves did not look like lying, and he was even more disgusted with the greedy Bloody Hand Gang in his heart. In a fit of rage, he simply decided to do the two thieves a little favor, and he would help the bloody hand for a while.

So the next morning, after he had eaten and drunk enough, he let the two skinny little thieves take him to a stronghold of the Bloody Hand Gang. Then he created a massacre in broad daylight.

He killed all eight members of the Bloody Hand Gang in this stronghold, and by the way, he rescued all the hostages who were held in this stronghold and were kidnapped by the Bloody Hand Gang. And the two thieves who successfully rescued their sister and brother are also grateful.

They were afraid that Lin Shui would be hunted down by the Bloody Hand Gang, so they asked Lin Shui to live in their house. But in the face of this invitation, Lin Shui couldn't help but think about it for a moment. This is because he didn't trust these two thieves so much, and because he didn't want to cause any trouble to these people.

But later, Lin Shui agreed.

After all, he had just arrived in this slum, and he was unfamiliar with the place. Wandering around the slums alone is no different from walking blindfolded through the dangerous jungle. So promise to come down.

But when Lin Shui lived in the house of the two thieves, the two thieves immediately discovered that Lin Shui was unusual. But every morning and evening, Lin Shui would pray to the wooden box containing the statue of Liang Tian. It's extremely weird.

So much so that he couldn't suppress his curiosity, the younger of the two thieves couldn't help but inquire about Lin Shui about this matter. I really want to know why Lin Shui did this.

At first, Manu, who took the initiative to inquire, was afraid that his behavior would make Lin Shui unhappy. Because he felt that he was inquiring into someone's privacy. Unexpectedly, Lin Shui, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility of preaching, was already waiting for them to ask.

So after Manu asked, Lin Shui was not only not unhappy, but rarely showed a little enthusiasm.

But at noon on the day before the official mission, Lin Shui first asked a question to Manu and the others quite seriously.

"Manu, do you believe that there is a god in this world?"

"God?" Manu and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they never expected Lin Shui to ask like this. I didn't know how to answer for a while.

The Elven Empire is a kingdom controlled by mages, and one elven mage counts as one, all of them are untrustworthy. So subtly, the upper echelons of the Elven Empire today do not believe in the existence of gods. Even if there are a few who believe in it, they often believe that "the so-called gods are nothing more than ancient beings with great power." ”

And this is the attitude of most elves towards the gods. Either they don't believe it at all, or even if they do, they often have thoughts that are absolutely blasphemous in the eyes of pious people like Lin Shui.

But that's the upper floor. Compared with the upper class, which has no worries about food and clothing and does not have to worry about tomorrow's life, the bottom layer, which has no tomorrow today and has a stronger dependence on spiritual sustenance, is different.

So after being stunned for a while, Manu replied very bluntly: "The nobles say that there are no gods in the world, and I have never seen a god with my own eyes. But nobles are used to lying, and there are so many things I haven't seen. I can't say I haven't seen it, and those things don't exist.

So I don't know if there are gods in this world. But if the gods really have the power to help those who need help, then I sincerely hope that there are gods in this world. ”

"Haha, you're honest. ”

Hearing Manu's words, Lin Shui couldn't help but smile and nodded. But in this empire where atheism is generally popular, Manu can make such an answer, which is already a bit beyond Lin Shui's previous expectations.

Therefore, after nodding with a smile, Lin Shui also put away his expression and said seriously: "Now, I can tell you clearly." There is indeed a true God in this world. The Great Being has an almost omnipotent power, and He has given me extraordinary power and has shown me in the direction of my most desperate moments. ”

"Huh!?"

Even if Lin Shui was saying this, the expression on his face was extremely serious. But Manu and the others opposite him were still shocked. After all, wishing for the existence of a god is a completely different concept from a person who says to you, "The god really exists and has appeared in front of him."

However, Lin Shui also knows the truth very well. So after saying this, he didn't go on. He just picked up a stone from the ground with a blank face, and then kneaded the stone into powder in front of Manu and the others.

It made Manu and the others widen their eyes one by one, and their faces were incredible.

When pulling out the stronghold of the Bloody Hand Gang, Manu and the others had also seen Lin Shui kill people, and knew that Lin Shui's strength was strong. Compared to killing several members of the Bloody Hand Gang in a row, it was more shocking to pinch the stones into powder with his bare hands.

Because of such a thing as murder, many people can do it. Living in the slums, Manu and others have also been murdered more than once. The more I encountered, the more I got used to it.

But when the stone was kneaded into powder with his bare hands, Manu and the others had never heard of it. Now that I have seen such a thing happen, I am very shocked.

Therefore, after Lin Shui stood up and returned to the house. Manu and the others looked at the stone chips on the ground, and they couldn't help but believe what Lin Shui said. So later, Manu and the companion beside him looked at each other, and the two of them, who both saw determination in each other's eyes, immediately walked quickly to the outside of Lin Shui's room.

Then they looked at Lin Shui's figure in the room, and fell to their knees without saying a word.

"Oh, what are you going to do. ”

"My lord, we, we want to be like you. Manu's companion blushed and said excitedly.

But compared to his companions next to him, Manu at this time undoubtedly seemed calmer and more organized. So after his companion had spoken, he took a deep breath and said, "Please allow us to believe in the god you believe in." Even if we don't have access to your extraordinary powers, we want some spiritual solace so that we don't have to live every day. ”

"Hahaha," Lin Shui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. After all these days, he has finally achieved some results. Although he could see in a day, whether it was Manu or the companion beside him at this time, their purpose was not pure.

Being able to go from zero to one is always the rarest. Compared with the simple purpose of these two people, it is undoubtedly more important to open the situation of missionary work in the general untrustworthy elven empire. So he waved his hand and asked Manu and the two to get up from the ground first.

Then he stared at the two Manu with a pair of eyes, and said with great seriousness: "Ugly words are ahead, you had better think about it, faith is serious, and you can't joke about it." You can believe in the great God, but if you believe in the true God, you abandon your faith and slander the true God just because you ask for it, that is rebellion.

And what happens to the betrayer, I don't need to say, you should all understand. ”

"We, we understand. The two of them looked stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly nodded. Living in the slums of Landau City, Manu and the others naturally knew what happened to those who betrayed the original group organization.

But I have to say that in this regard, elves are exactly the same as humans. They are all extremely resentful betrayers.

Hence the saying that once circulated in this slum, "For the betrayer, a happy death is a gift, not a punishment." ”

Therefore, next, they looked at Lin Shui and said with a serious face: "My lord, we are not on a whim, we are sincere." ”

"Very well, then since that is the case, I will tell you about some rules. Lin Shui nodded again, and then picked out the pre-existing teachings and told them the key points.

For example, prayer must be done every morning and evening, one must not murder one's fellow believers, one must not be strong, one must not chakra, one must not betray, no suicide, etc. Most of them are the most basic requirements.

As for personal morality, such as not being able to bully the weak and needing to help the weak, they were not mentioned.

But it is moral, and it is only to be followed by the blessed and canonized. Ordinary believers are not obliged to do this. After all, even faith cannot make everyone a moral gentleman. That's not realistic.

So in the face of those most basic requirements, Manu and they guaranteed that there was no problem at the moment.

So in the next place, Lin Shui finally carefully took out the box containing the statue of Liang Tian. first knelt on the ground and kowtowed with a serious face, and then carefully opened the wooden box, and the statue stored in the wooden box was invited out by Lin Shui with both hands.

It's just that at this time, Lin Shui suddenly found that the statue had become a little different. The statue's face was blurry at this time, Lin Shui's eyes widened and he tried to see clearly, but as he and the statue's eyes inadvertently confronted each other, his eyes hurt like pins and needles.

"Ahh Then he knelt on the ground with a panicked face. He knew that his actions were a little offended, so he hurriedly said with a frightened face: "Great true God, please forgive the servant for being rude." ”

With that, he snapped his head on the ground a few more times. The pain in my eyes was relieved.

Then he dodged out of his place, allowing the two Manu to face the statue behind him, who also looked a little frightened. Just as I was about to say something to Manu, the statue suddenly glowed white.

And when they saw the light, Manu and the two were stunned at the moment. At this moment, their eyes saw a scene that Lin Shui could not see. A white and flawless light and shadow appeared in front of them, and the light and shadow exuded boundless pressure.

Feeling the pressure up close, Manu couldn't help but feel like a lamb facing a dragon. But the strange thing is that the oppressive force brought by the figure to Manu is obviously so huge, but in the face of the figure, Manu is not afraid.

On the contrary, at this time, deep in his heart, he unbelievably gave birth to some close relatives. And that kind of closeness, even beyond the bloodline, seems to come from the fetters of the soul.

So when this invisible figure spoke, every word and sentence made Manu agree from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, that's it. That's it. Manu said darkly. He didn't even care, and now he and his companion were already kneeling on the ground.

Because of this, when the light gradually disappeared, and the figure that could not be looked directly disappeared with the light, the two Manu who were kneeling on the ground couldn't help but have a sense of loss. It's like someone who is close and can be relied on leaves.

The faces of the two of them suddenly became a little dark at this time. But then, remembering what the invisible figure had said to them, they fell to their knees and said, "Great God, I make a vow here." I will be loyal to you wholeheartedly and serve you. Make your will my mission, follow your guidance without question, and practice what you teach me. I will dedicate my life and soul to you, be your believer, and never betray!"

But with the passage of time, today's Liang Tian is no longer what it used to be. In the past, He had to rely on the blood of the oath-taker. But now, the constraints of language alone are sufficient.

Making an oath is equivalent to handing over everything to Liang Tian. From now on, even life and death are only in the mind of Him.
