Inside the church, Donald and his family sit on two pews, Donald and Anthony in the front, and Stephanie, Lilo, and Julia in the back.

Claremont sat aside.

There are some things that are inconvenient to say outside.

"I know that several of them are not ordinary people, for you, I have nothing to hide, yes, the god of harvest and hunting, it is true that it does not exist, if it really exists, how dare I make a wood carving in my own appearance, this is a great disrespect to the gods, no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing. ”

Claremont's honesty even made Donald feel incredible, and instead of making any effort, he told them the truth.

Of course, this fact is obvious to most people who have some religious knowledge.

"Then why are you lying to these simple villagers? ”

Stephanie asked.

"This beautiful lady, your question, I want to answer you with a story, is that okay?"

Claremont's face was as usual, his right hand stroking his beard, and a smile still on his face.

"Of course. ”

Stephanie was equally pleased with an old man's compliment.

"I'm an alien, I have some special abilities, I can convert other people's trust and affirmation of me, into strength, the more this emotion, the stronger I become, for example, there is a person who believes that I can lift this table, maybe I still can't do it, but if there are ten people who believe that I can lift this table, then I can lift him up!"

This is a formal self-introduction, and it is like a preface.

"I didn't realize this ability, I was just a homeless old man at that time, but one day, I passed through a mountain forest, and saw an old man standing on the shoulders of a huge tree man, one step and dozens of meters, walking through the forest, I thought it was a god, so I went up and bowed, he just shook his head, and then told me, go east, one day, I will become someone else's god!"

Speaking of which, even Donald can't help but be engrossed, and those who can talk about God must not be mortal themselves.

Stand on the shoulders of the giant treants...... Wizard, or a powerful Wood Elemental Alien?

"I followed the words of the god in my heart and headed east, and finally came here, and you know what it was like when I first came to this village? It was winter two years ago...... I saw dilapidated houses, yellow-skinned villagers, barren fields, and the meaningless school at the crossroads...... I'm sorry, I'm not saying that education is meaningless, I'm saying that the school with two gentry as teachers, teaching some institutional theory all day long, capital is meaningless, if you even have a problem with survival, it is undoubtedly extremely stupid to talk to those villagers about capital and system. ”

With that, the old man's gaze shifted from Donald's face to the street outside the church behind them.

"At that time, I was just a wanderer passing by, and when I walked around the village, I even thought for a moment that this was a gathering place for wanderers, but I still got their help, even if it was just two or three baked potatoes and a bowl of rice soup that could be seen at the bottom of the bowl, I saw their kindness, and from that moment I told myself that I had found my place to 'become a god'. ”

"Over the years of wandering, I have done all kinds of work in major cities, my learning ability is not bad, so I also read a lot of books on the way, this village, too backward, I taught them to improve a few farming techniques, taught them how to build more convenient farm tools, and also taught them how to make traps to catch prey, they will be too few, I will teach little by little, do you want to ask why not just let them believe in me, and then I can help them do more?"

"In fact, the reason is very simple, my ability requires from the heart to believe, I can't even tell them this ability, because if I do, they will think that I have a plan, then this trust is not pure, and my ability cannot be activated. ”

Claremont kept talking, and Donald pursed his lips, not knowing whether to speak or not.

You say. ”

Claremont gestured.

"Why did you come up with the idea of starting a religion?"

If you just want to help, you can't just be a great sage, why add an extra identity to yourself as a divine practitioner?

"Because I need to give them a spiritual sustenance, a year and a half ago, when everything was just starting, there was a natural disaster, and almost everyone was going to give up at that time, if I didn't give them a reason to persevere, naturally there would be no village today. ”

Belief is such a thing, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but in the face of adversity, it is exactly what you need, whether it's from the heart or a certain concept from outside, as long as it can help you get through the difficulties, you can do anything.

"Since then, they've treated me as a surrogate of the gods, and to be honest, I'm a little selfish in my hope that I can rely on this way to gain more people's trust and help them move towards a better tomorrow. ”

"Then why are you building so many new houses, telling the villagers that they are for future believers? ”

If you want to ask, then tell all the doubts.

"Those houses are actually for some young people who are not in a very good family right now, and they are ready to marry and have children, and they are called new believers, but they are not much worse, aren't they?"

"I see...... I have one last question, how does it feel to be a great sage who is admired and believed in wholeheartedly?"

Donald raised an eyebrow, then asked.

"Feeling? huh...... The hardships I have endured in the past have been worth it. ”

Eyes met, Claremont stared directly at Donald, his gaze unwavering.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Stephanie, who nodded, Claremont's mood had been very stable, and there was no negative emotion towards the two of them.

What else can be said that such a person can really expel him from this village?

After a brief chat, Donald retreated with a few more people, and when they reached the door, they found that there were already many villagers waiting for them at the door, including the couple who had invited them before.

"I saw you enter the village chief's house, did you help the village chief to bully the great sage!"

Someone in the crowd asked, and this made many people look at them with a little more hostility.

Being stared at like this by dozens of people, although Donald is not afraid, he also feels that it is tricky, he can't do anything with them, right?

Soon, however, his attention was drawn to some of the people in the crowd, and he began to scrutinize them.

"They're just here to ask me questions, and my conversation with them is something to be happy about, not what you think. ”

Claremont came out to help them clarify, this etiquette is thoughtful enough.

His words were obviously much more useful in this village than the village chief, and the eyes of the villagers who looked at them were immediately full of kindness, as if anyone who was recognized by the great sage was a good person.

Donald bowed back in thanks, and the others did the same, except for Lilo, still focused on the snow she had just touched from the nearby rock.

The group went back to wandering the streets.

"Donald, although he is fake, what he said seems to be true, how can we expel such a kind person...... Even if we are expelled, I'm afraid that as soon as we leave, he can easily come back and continue to be this great sage, and the village chief will definitely not be able to stop it, so how can we explain to the village chief?"

Stephanie scratched her head with some annoyance, she was actually a little moved by what Claremont had done.

"The ladies of this village are so beautiful......

As he walked along the road, Donald suddenly said this.

"What do you think, we're getting down to business now!"

As girlfriends, although the two usually don't have much intimate contact with each other, Stephanie has never lost to other women in jealousy, as soon as she heard Donald's words, she immediately exploded, put her hand on the soft flesh around Donald's waist, and started to screw it in the next second, but was grabbed by Donald.

"I'm talking about business. ”

Turning around and pinching Stefini's chin, Donald smiled mysteriously.

"This is the right thing, you are bullying and believing in you, I saw it just now, your eyes have been sweeping around the crowd, I thought you were looking for something, it turned out to be looking at a woman...... Do they look as good as me?"

With his hands around Donald's neck and swaying relentlessly, Finger, who had been staying on Donald's shoulders, had to jump on top of his head and turn into a "white felt hat".

Anthony on the side glanced thoughtfully in the direction where the crowd had dispersed just now, and then said with a smile as if he had thought of something: "Indeed, they are all beautiful." ”

"Hahaha~"

Donald laughed when he heard this, and Stephanie's cheeks behind him were red with anger.

Until the winter festival, they did not go to the village chief to report the situation.

On the one hand, Donald has not yet determined what the facts are, and on the other hand, with their status, it is necessary to explain something to the village chief.

When night falls, the village comes alive in real life.

The stage and buildings around the big fire pit at the intersection had already been built, and the villagers each walked out of the house with their own favorite dishes, and in a short time the entire long table was full.

"Have you figured out how to expose him? or do you want to ...... directly?"

The village chief, who had been waiting at his house for a day, was obviously a little impatient, he didn't bring the dishes, and he would not normally participate in this festival.

"Wait, didn't you say he was going to talk to God alone after 12 o'clock, and that was the best chance. ”

Donald replied ambiguously, his eyes fixed on Claremont, who was walking from a distance, dressed in a pure white robe.
