Chapter 482: Rapid Growth

A breakthrough was made in the missionary work, and everything was gradually on the right track.

With the help of Manu and his companions, two locals who have lived in the slums since childhood, Lin Shui has eyes and ears in the slums. So in the days that followed, they came into contact with the oppressed who were almost in a desperate situation, and on the other hand, they continued to attack the strongholds of the Bloody Hand Gang.

Because the Bloody Hand Gang is really the kind of classic villain template who does all kinds of evil, so that whenever Lin Shui attacks their stronghold, he is often regarded as a hero by the oppressed in the slums. And the Bloody Hands are really rich.

They amassed wealth by unscrupulous means, so that a large amount of wealth was amassed in every stronghold of the Bloody Hand Gang. And Lin Shui and others are also in need of money now, because whether it is to preach or help the weak, they can't do without the help of money.

Therefore, for Lin Shui at this time, attacking the stronghold of the Bloody Hand Gang is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone. Not only can it spread his reputation, but it will also allow him to make a fortune and get a lot of money for his actions.

So in the following month, Lin Shui personally attacked the sixteen strongholds of the Bloody Hand Gang, saving many low-level elves who were kidnapped and oppressed by the Bloody Hand Gang.

Then Lin Shui asked Manu and the others to take the money it had stolen from the Bloody Hand Gang stronghold and approach some of the rescued. In just one month, more than 40 people made a vow to voluntarily believe in the great and true God.

Because of this, the Bloody Hand Gang became extremely mad due to repeated attacks. The True God Cult, composed of Lin Shui, Manu, and the rest of the forty or so people, collided head-on with the Bloody Hand Gang one night.

It's been a month, and Lin Shui is now tired of petty fights. Tonight is to bring people to make a big ticket, so that the name of the True God Cult will be known to the vast number of low-level elves living in the slums.

A fierce battle began. Lin Shui took more than 40 people, including Manu, and directly confronted more than 100 elite members of the Blood Hand Gang. Lin Shui and the others attacked the crowd with a small number of people, but this battle was unusually smooth.

Because these so-called elite members of the Bloody Hand Gang couldn't even compare to ordinary elven warriors, Lin Shui's treatment of these people was like a two-legged flying dragon rushing into a flock. The two sides are not of the same magnitude at all.

It was just a charge, and with a roar, Lin Shui directly killed the leader of the Bloody Hand Gang. As soon as the two sides fought, the Bloody Hand Gang had no command.

In this way, the Bloody Hand Gang naturally has no guts. Therefore, don't look at the next battle, Lin Shui didn't make any more moves, but Manu and the others still scattered and fled with the so-called elites of the Bloody Hand Gang.

Then, Lin Shui, who had won the victory, took Manu and them directly smashed open the door of the inn that was heavily guarded by the elite of the 100 Bloody Hand Gang.

This place is ostensibly a hotel, but in fact it is a prison that the Bloody Hand has converted themselves. The people detained inside are either hostages kidnapped by the Bloody Hand Gang, or women and children abducted and trafficked by the Bloody Hand Gang.

These elves are like cattle, often seven or eight people crammed into a room of no more than a dozen square meters. All of them looked sluggish, poor people who had lost hope for the future.

Lin Shui now took Manu and the others to rescue these poor people, gave freedom to these poor elves who had already lost their future on the spot, and gave each of these elves a sum of money.

The rescued were so grateful that they knelt down for a while. Manu, who had done this for the first time, couldn't help but smile.

However, at this time, Lin Shui was still calm, so he looked at the saved people and said, "We are the True God Cult, and everything we do is in accordance with the will of the great God. So you don't need to be grateful to us, but if you are, be grateful to the great and merciful God."

Lin Shui said, and Manu and the others immediately sprinkled portraits at this time. The portrait depicts a man with a toned body and bright eyes like stars. But there was a fog on his face, so that the saved spirit could not see clearly.

But this does not affect the intimacy that the portrait brings to these rescued elves.

So much so that they immediately believed Lin Shui's words. Even after Lin Shui's words, some of the rescued people couldn't help but shout excitedly: "I know, I know that there are gods in this world." The words of those noble men were nothing but an attempt to deceive us, and the merciful God heard my prayer and sent His messenger. ”

The rescued man shouted excitedly. And the appearance of this scene made Lin Shui and others unexpected.

However, this person's words also played a certain propaganda effect by mistake. So after the man said this, Lin Shui couldn't help but smile, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Then Lin Shui and his entourage scattered under the cover of night, and the legend of the True God Cult in the slums gradually spread. So in the next month or so, the Don't Look at the Blood Hand Gang immediately intensified their investigation of Lin Shui and others, and killed several members of the True God Cult.

But it has not been able to fundamentally hit this budding religion that has just developed. On the contrary, due to the backdrop of the Bloody Hand Gang, the scale of the True God Cult has increased several times in more than a month.

And because the True God Cult showed extraordinary strength in the process of fighting with the Blood Hand Gang, the True God Cult also entered the field of vision of the dock gang and the wandering group. Both organizations have shown a keen interest in the newly emerging True God Cult, eager to learn more.

It's just that I didn't expect that when these two organizations, which are not weaker than the Bloody Hand Gang, also officially paid attention to the True God Cult and launched an investigation into this newly emerging mysterious organization. A murder that everyone didn't expect happened.

The founder of the Bloody Hand Gang is ruthless, and he doesn't know how many killings he has made, and how many bloody hands have died with the blood of innocent people on his hands.

In front of everyone's eyes, the bloody hand was directly cut off by a sharp long sword. And the person who killed him was Lin Shui, the leader of the True God Sect in the Elven Empire. As for the direct reason for killing him, it was precisely to avenge the murdered members of the True God Cult.

So after the news spread, the entire slum was immediately fried. Everyone didn't expect that this True God Cult that had appeared out of nowhere would have such power. In this way, the prestige of the True God Cult in the slums of Langdo has risen several floors at once.

But the slums also broke out in large-scale unrest because of this incident.

The Bloody Hand is a gang with thousands of members, and now their leader is dead, but the Bloody Hand is a hundred-legged worm that is not stiff. Therefore, in order to compete for the position of new leader, or simply for revenge, the Bloody Hand Gang mobilized all their members and disturbed the entire slum.

But then, something unexpected happened. Just as the Bloody Hand Gang was killing members of the True God Cult for revenge, the Wanderers and the Dock Gang teamed up to strangle the Bloody Hand Gang members.

So much so that in just one night, nearly 1,000 people died in the slums. The once-invincible Bloody Hand Gang fell apart overnight. All of their top brass were killed in one night.

The corpse was hung directly from a street lamp on the side of the road, thus announcing the end of the Bloody Hand Gang. So in the future, the True God Cult naturally took the place of the Bloody Hand in the slums.

However, compared to the Bloody Hand Gang, which can do anything for the sake of profit, the True God Cult is much more gentle. They just took control of the seemingly most formal liquor business as their source of income, and then went about doing good.

Yes, just to do that thankless thing that the vast majority of people in the ghetto cannot understand. For example, adopting homeless orphans and providing food for the elderly and weak who are unable to live independently.

Then, they even built a school in the slum for free for children who were willing to come and learn.

And this unbelievable act naturally shocked everyone. At this time, even the most well-informed leader of the wandering group and the leader of the dock gang couldn't figure out "What is the purpose of this True God Cult?"

Although they couldn't figure it out, it didn't affect some members of the Wandering Group and the Dock Gang from sending their children to schools founded by the True God Cult.

"It's not a bad thing that children can read and read and count!"

There is a general sense of reverence for knowledge among those who live at the bottom. Although it is not enough to say that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", but it is inevitable that he will feel inferior because he has no culture.

So after the school was established, it only took seven days for the school to be full. Of course, it is possible to recruit students so quickly. It also has a lot to do with the scarcity of enrollment places when the school was first built.

Now, this seminary, which exists in the territory of the Elven Empire, only admits a hundred students this time. But for this result, Lin Shui is still very satisfied. 100 students is a small number, but it's a good start.

Children's thoughts and concepts are like blank paper, which is the easiest time to be molded. Therefore, Xihe, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, had such a sentence spread at the beginning, "Education is the cause of national defense."

A child, if he receives a theistic education from below. Then it is very difficult for this child to grow up to be an atheist.

And if he receives a hateful education from an early age, and does not tell him the truth, goodness and beauty, but only tells him the false, evil and ugly, how can this person grow into a patriot?

Therefore, it can be said that the power of education is extremely terrifying. It can subtly change a person's perception. And then determine what kind of person that person will become when he grows up.

It is precisely because Lin Shui understands this and understands this that he has this school.

"To grasp education is to seize the future. It may not be obvious yet, but time will tell. Sooner or later, the school I founded will go down in history!"

Standing at the gate of the school, watching the elf children who walked into the school one after another. The corners of Lin Shui's mouth couldn't help but curl, and he was already more and more confident about the future. And everything that happened after that really proved that Lin Shui's self-confidence was not groundless.

When schools were established, some children in the slums were able to enrol in school. In the slums where the living environment is harsh, the Religion of God has gradually become synonymous with truth, goodness and beauty.

Oppressed and eager for a change in their lives, the low-level elves began to trust the True God Cult that helped them, and they used to stay away. But as time went on, eight months after the once-powerful Bloody Hand was exterminated, many people in the slums began to praise the True God Cult again.

As a result, the spread of the True God Cult began to grow explosively. It's only been more than half a year, and there are more than 3,000 low-level elves who have sworn to believe in the true gods. And these more than 3,000 people are not only poor elves, but some rich elves who have money but no political status, but they are also imperceptibly influenced by the True God Cult, and then become Liang Tian's followers.

Compared to a few months ago, this is really a heaven and an earth.

Therefore, Liang Tian was also very satisfied with this, so he was happy to show miracles and send down gifts. So not long ago, He personally blessed a group of elven believers.

Including Manu, He blessed thirty-six godly people. Although the number is small, these blessed elves are equipped and placed in today's slums, which can be regarded as invincible.

It's just that with the passage of time and the continuous growth of the True God Cult, the outside world has inevitably noticed this organization.

After all, no matter how laissez-faire the outside world is to the inside of the slums, it is impossible to ignore it entirely.

However, as the saying goes, "weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is." The outside world of the slums noticed the newly emerging Cult of God, but just like the other gangs in the slums, the arrogant elven nobles did not take the Cult of God seriously.

"It's just a ridiculous organization made up by a bunch of stupid low-level elves. As long as they don't come out of the slums and make trouble for us, there is no need to pay attention to this garbage. ”

As he spoke, the elven nobleman who trimmed his nails said this to the intelligence officer without raising his head. His casual remarks also settled on this matter.

But at this time, he couldn't imagine that the words he said casually at this time would make the entire Elven Empire pay an unimaginably huge price in the future.

As a result, the branch of the True God Cult that is now hiding in the slums of Lando City is still growing unscrupulously. The True God Cult has a good reputation, and the low-level elves living in the slums are in desperate need of spiritual sustenance. The theory that "the soul can ascend to the kingdom of God after death" is also very popular in the slums today.

So much so that with each passing day, the membership of the True God Church increases. Gradually, many gang members also believed in the Cult of the True God. After all, they are also full of fear of death, and the belief in the True God Cult can undoubtedly alleviate this fear very well.

As a result, less than a year after the establishment of the Eutheistic Cult in the slums, almost a quarter of the Dock Gang became believers in the Eutheistic Cult. This growth rate is simply jaw-dropping.
