Chapter 44: Clearing the Wasteland and the Inquisition

"You did a great job and lived up to me. ”

Liang Tian did not skimp on the praise of the bell.

In just a few years, hundreds of thousands of believers have developed for Liang Tian from scratch. In the end, it was a direct and bloodless conquest of a country.

Even with the help of Liang Tian's appearances from time to time, it is enough to prove the ability and efforts of the bell.

So looking at her kneeling respectfully on the ground, he let her stand up from the ground for the first time.

Then he said to himself, "My servant, the vastness and vastness of this world are far beyond your imagination. The dangers are far greater than you realize. ”

After that, Liang Tian presented the scene of the dragon hunting prey in the grassland in the north of the tribe in Bell's mind.

Looking at the bell with a shocked face, he continued: "Go and open up the wilderness, this will make you strong." ”

That's it. Awe comes from the unknown, and in order to maintain his unfathomable image, most of Liang Tian's words are superficial.

But in this regard, the bell that has communicated with Liang Tian more than once is also used to it.

So when I open my eyes again and wake up from my dream. The first archbishop of the Divine Servant Sect secretly pondered Liang Tian's words in the room.

So, the very next day, a decree was issued to encourage the opening of wilderness.

Those blessed warriors and Templars will be the first to explore the wilderness.

Under their call and leadership, hundreds of wasteland clearing teams were formed in various gathering places of the tribe and various cities in Xihe. And these people, naturally, are also the lowest level of believers in the gathering place or city.

They have nothing, so they are willing to fight for it.

However, due to the different environments and perceptions in different places, these reclamation teams also have successes and failures.

Successful people successfully established themselves in the wilderness and established villages. And those that fail, after several natural and man-made disasters, often lose nearly half.

But on the whole, this general trend of land reclamation is still good. There were a few lucky reclamation teams that even discovered open-pit gold mines and even gem veins in the process. After the news spread, it even attracted a gold rush of a certain scale.

But at this time, whether it is Xihe or the tribe, they have entered the era of farming. Productivity has increased dramatically, and most people have a surplus of food rations.

This has led to more and more prosperous trade. The value of gold, a hard currency, is becoming larger and larger.

And then again. Now, because of the relationship between the wasteland, whether it is the tribe or the Xihe, the class contradictions between them have been greatly alleviated.

As a result, the population of both regions is growing faster. In just a few years, new gathering places and new cities have sprung up in both places.

In addition, the number of blessings for the blessing ceremony held by Liang Tian every three years has also increased.

Therefore, when this triennial blessing ceremony is held for the sixth time, the number of blessings on the tribe's side has increased to 150. On the Xihe side, the number has grown to 500.

In the end, the number and population of believers on this side of Xihe are much larger than those on the tribal side. Liang Tian used to be the patron saint of the tribe, but now, when the people of Xihe also became his followers, he had to have a bowl of water.

Make yourself as impartial as possible.

But the more this is the case, the more unpleasant it is in the hearts of the tribesmen. In their minds, they are obviously the ones who want to believe in Liang Tian in the world, don't they deserve preferential treatment?

As a result, at the end of the triennial blessing ceremony, those who failed in the tournament would often complain and complain.

Over time, these resentful people have become dangerous elements in society. Some of the people who couldn't go crazy even did the blasphemous act of spitting on the statue of Liang Tian.

"These ungrateful bastards, their evil deeds, not only offend the majesty of God, but also provoke and humiliate the entire Servant Religion of God. They must be destroyed, both physically and mentally!"

Now, there is no need for Liang Tian to instruct anything, those who have been canonized and blessed will not let these guys go.

Because these people are all profiteers, maintaining Liang Tian's majesty is equivalent to safeguarding their own interests, so they will not show mercy to these people.

But anyone caught blasphemy was sentenced to death without exception.

Then, in order to deal with these situations, the Archbishop of the Divine Servant Sect, Bell, and some high-ranking members of the Church, also set up a body called the Inquisition.

Nominally, this body is accountable to only one person, the archbishop bell. But in reality, the person who actually commands this institution is a radical witch of the Servant of God, the concubine.

She was born in Xihe, a city called "Liang", and was a poor person.

He lost both of his parents at an early age, and later became seriously ill and almost died. It was only a passing missionary witch who saved her.

Then she naturally became a believer in Liang Tian, and she was an extremely devout fanatic.

She firmly believes that everything she has now was given to her by Liang Tian, so her worship of Liang Tian is simply beyond limit. So much so that she was left alone to make a pilgrimage from the distant Xihe all the way to the pilgrimage.

And this process took her six months before and after, so that Liang Tian herself was amazed by her piety and perseverance.

So, on the day she finally came to the Holy Land, Liang Tian personally used his almost omnipotent power of faith to heal her body, and later canonized her.

Therefore, when she heard that someone dared to desecrate Liang Tian's statue, her anger was even a hundred times higher than that of Liang Tian.

To be honest, it's just that someone spat on the statue and secretly complained a few words, and Liang Tian really didn't feel anything.

But as a fanatical believer in Liang Tian, the concubine couldn't tolerate this kind of behavior at all.

"All blasphemy must be punished. Otherwise, this would be a dereliction of duty, and we should die for it. The pious concubine said this more than once.

This made her the first ruler of the Inquisition of the Divine Servant Church.

Then, a large number of devout fanatics who were just as radical as she were were elected to this institution.

There were thirty witches canonized by Liang Tian, five hundred warriors and Templars, and a large number of outlying members. Then, a bloody trial without the slightest mercy began.

In just three months, hundreds of people were burned at the stake for blasphemy. Many people just secretly complained a few times, and then they lost their lives because of it!
