For Bai Feng, who had lived in Rome for more than two months, Yue'er was the closest person in his heart after all, even more than the brothers and sisters of the Bai family, and the high priest of Binglan, Bai Feng owed and felt more guilt to her.
Bai Feng really didn't expect that the High Priest of Binglan, who had always been cold, would become a crucial figure in saving the city of Rome from danger, even though Bai Feng had no hatred for the Tasia tribe who had become a vassal tribe of Rome City, he was still full of gratitude to the High Priest of Binglan, if there was no explanation from Yue'er, Bai Feng would have been grateful to the High Priest of Binglan.
But after Yue'er's explanation, Bai Feng understood how much the High Priest of Binglan had silently paid for himself and the city of Rome, especially when Bai Feng went to the High Priest of Binglan again to summon the generals, she did not mention the slightest physical discomfort, so she resolutely helped Bai Feng summon Licinius and his general guards, which led to the current good situation of the city of Rome.
In other words, if it weren't for the hard work of the High Priest of Binglan, the city of Rome would have been breached by the army of the Tasia tribe by now, and even if it had barely survived, the defenders of Rome would have been killed and wounded.
If that were the case, Bai Feng would not be able to turn the Tasia tribe into a vassal tribe of Rome City, but it would be a question of whether the city itself could continue to develop intact, but all of this would come at the cost of the selfless efforts of the High Priest of Binglan.
Fifty years of life is not a short lifespan, after all, the high priest of Binglan only has a life period of one hundred years, which is why Bai Feng is actively looking for a divine object with the power of faith for the high priest of Binglan, he can't always owe her.
Although Bai Feng knew that even if he found a divine object that was enough to prolong the life of the High Priest of Binglan for fifty years, it would be impossible to really pay off all the favors he owed to the High Priest of Binglan, but Bai Feng always had to do something for the High Priest of Binglan, this was Bai Feng's conscience.
After successfully dissolving the vinegar in Yue'er's heart, Bai Feng refocused his attention on the four lifelike statues placed in the governor's mansion, and Yue'er also put aside other thoughts in her mind and concentrated on explaining these four statues to Bai Feng.
"Bai Feng, these four statues are indeed divine objects with the power of faith, and they are also statues of gods that have accumulated the power of faith for at least two hundred years, but there is no source of faith on the foreheads of these four statues, which proves an extremely cruel reality.
That is, the four gods that the Tasya tribe believed in should no longer exist, maybe the gods that these barbarians believed in were made up by the so-called druids in the first place, or maybe these gods have been erased by other more powerful gods.
No matter what, it can't change the cruel fact, the gods that the Tasya tribe worships no longer exist, but these gods who are worshipped day and night still have a very strong faith power, perhaps this is also a coincidence. ”
Regarding the fact that these four gods no longer existed, Bai Feng didn't feel much surprised, after all, before he knew Apollo, Bai Feng also thought that there were no so-called gods in the world, if it weren't for his own personal experience, Bai Feng would still be an atheist.
Even if Bai Feng has confirmed that there are gods in this world, Bai Feng can still understand the behavior of fictional gods, and it is reasonable to know that the existence of faith can maintain the survival of a race, and it is reasonable to fabricate some gods that do not exist.
That being said, Bai Feng himself still had doubts about Yue'er's explanation, for example, Bai Feng didn't understand what Yue'er meant by coincidence, what kind of coincidence it was?
"Yue'er, what do you mean by this coincidence, do you mean that I got these idols from the Tasya tribe by coincidence?"
In the face of Bai Feng's presumptuous speculation, Yue'er shook her head with a solemn expression, and then explained to Bai Feng with a serious face:
"Bai Feng, the world we live in is not as simple as you think, and many gods of religious belief do exist, such as the Bright Holy See, the largest religious force in this world, and some other religions, large and small.
Most of the gods that these religions believe in are real, maybe those gods are not really big people in the god world, but for the people of this world, they are also high gods.
And the power of faith is the key to the gods to enhance their own strength, a god supported by a steady stream of faith power, but much stronger than a god without the support of the power of faith, the power of faith is the most precious existence in the divine world!
The idol with the source of faith is the medium for the gods to draw the power of faith from this world, and the general gods will come to take the power of faith from the idol in about ten years, which is why I told you that the power of faith is difficult to obtain in the first place.
Even if you can obtain the power of faith from some religious temples, it is impossible for these gods to contain the power of faith for more than ten years, and don't you think it is too much of a coincidence that a single Tasya tribe has a statue of a god with the power of faith for more than 200 years?
Maybe everything in this world is not as simple as we imagined, and it is impossible for the Holy See of Light and the Heavenly Dragon Empire to join forces to invade the barbarian world just to occupy the land, and the gods with the power of faith possessed by these barbarian tribes may be their real wealth!"
Yue'er's explanation was beyond Bai Feng's worst imagination, Bai Feng really didn't expect that this divine object with the power of faith would contain a higher level of deity, and when he said this, Bai Feng seemed to understand why Apollo needed the sacrifice of the divine object.
If nothing else, after those sacred objects with the power of faith were sacrificed to Apollo, most of the benefits would be obtained by Apollo, and the high priest of Binglan should only get a small part.
Bai Feng never felt that Apollo was a selfless great man, everything he did was absolutely justified and purposeful, otherwise he would not have spent a lot of time and energy on himself, maybe this was also part of his return to Apollo.
No matter what, Bai Feng felt that if he sacrificed these divine objects with the power of faith to Apollo, as long as these things could be used to extend the life period of the High Priest of Binglan, what would Bai Feng be reluctant to?
But before sending these statues to the Temple of Apollo, Bai Feng still had one more thing to do, and that was to have the carvers in Rome write down what the statues looked like, so that they could carve some brand new statues out of silver!
