Chapter 182: Persuasion

Sarah's actions are beyond anyone's imagination - even her deputy, Raven, is dumbfounded.

Threaten the priests in the temple and demand that the faith withdraw from a certain range......

This is blasphemy!

Naga Kapoulos' faith has been practiced in Bilgewater for countless years, and although everyone is not very religious, most of the time, in the face of sudden problems, the phrase "Mother Serpent blesses" is still a normal reaction.

Even when their lives are in crisis, there are still many people who pray for the protection of the snake mother.

However, even now, this Miss Doom, who had just fled in embarrassment under Hekarim's hooves, actually turned her head and said that she wanted Naga Kapolos's faith to get out?!

The world is getting a little faster.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Aloy's eyes narrowed slightly, "Your soul will burn under the wrath of Naga Kapolos!" ”

"It's your choice." Sarah shook her head, "It was all set out when you came out to save Planck, you saved my enemy, and the excuse was your hypocritical oracle. ”

"Scourging and sheltering, these are the favors of Naga Kapolos." Aloy spoke again, "This is the vow made at baptism. ”

"But I'm not a believer in Him." Sarah grinned disdainfully, "My ancestral home is in Piltover, I didn't go through the temple baptism of birth - and I lost my parents before I became an adult, and I didn't go to sea baptism, so I was never a member of the Mother of Serpents." ”

Now, it was Eloy's turn to froze.

Revenge is supported by Naga Kapoulos, an emotional "movement".

If Sarah is a follower of Naga Kapolos, Naga Kapolos preventing her from taking revenge can be seen as a directive from the gods.

But if Sarah is not a follower of Naga Kapolos, this blocking also means feuding.

Sarah's actions change from blasphemy to revenge on the gods.

As for why Aloy didn't know that Sarah wasn't a believer - that's perfectly normal.

In the whole of Bilgewater, ninety-eight out of a hundred believers in Naga Kapolos are pan-believers and pseudo-believers, and the beliefs of the pirates are just like that, so Naga Kapoulos has to get the support of Bilgewater in a secular way.

It's a reciprocal process, and it's not always easy for non-good gods to gain faith.

As for why he had the support of Bilgewater - it was because Naga Kapoulos was developing the priesthood of Bilgewater's guardianship.

The rise of Cana gave Naga Capolos some good inspiration, and it was also quite a good idea to become the guardian deity of a place instead of competing with those giant god star spirits and ancient monsters for the world runes.

If the power of runes is the source of power, then the identity of the guardian deity can be called a power amplifier, and it can also make Naga Kapolos even more powerful.

It's a pity that Naga Kapoulos seems to be in a bad position.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire temple became subtle.

And for Eloy, things got a little worse.

Aloy had never doubted the power of Naga Kapoulos, and Sarah's move would not have succeeded - but in any case, it would have caused a loss of Bilgewater and a loss of faith, which Aloy could not allow.

The priests, weakened by the power of summoning Naga Kapolos, were on Aloy's side, while Raven and a few of the Siren's diehards were on Sarah's side—and the rest said they were silently riding the wall.

This kind of dispute is not something that ordinary people can participate in, and rashly involved in it is likely to lead to a reckoning after the autumn.

The tradition of Bilgewater is that the world is to be the chief, and the faith is to the serpent mother, but no one knows what to do when the two conflict.

Wait, the world goes to the chief?

Aloy suddenly realized something.

"Sarah—you're not the king of Bilgewater yet, are you?"

"If you insist on it, I'm afraid you'll have to support some idiot-like Sir Huck - at least he's religious enough in the face of faith."

Hearing Aloy say this, Sarah pursed her lips disdainfully.

"A soft egg with nothing to show for it." Sarah stepped on the broken shards of the door panel with one foot, crushing it into small pieces of wood, "He believes because his heart is weak - and I am different." ”

"You're too attached to hatred." Aloy still tries to convince Sarah, "But hatred cannot always be a source of motivation - except for the teachings of Naga Kapoulos, there is never eternity in the world." ”

Aloy's attention to Sarah is beyond everyone's expectations, and in everyone's imagination, the plot should be Aloy's thunderstorm, vowing to get back to the scene - instead of teaching Sarah as he is now.

This simply does not fit the character of Naga Kapolos and Aloy.

And only Aloy and Sarah know that this is just stalling for time.

Aloy was in the temple, recovering quickly, and his exhortations were nothing more than a means to buy time for himself.

Sarah can be said to know Eloy's calculations, but she is happy to play a scene with Aloy, because Aloy is not the only one who needs to prepare.

If you want to completely change Bilgewater's faith and banish the influence of Naga Kapolos, it is not that simple!

If it weren't for Rhodes' backing on Zaun and Piltover, just because she was sheltering Planck, Sarah wouldn't have agreed to Rhodes' condition and confronted Naga Kapoulos.

Aloy was bitter, and Sarah was cold.

Both are holding on.

The black fog had already cleared widely—it was only an hour or two before it dawned.

Before he knew it, Aloy's face had darkened again.

"Ultimatum - Sarah, are you giving up on this stupid idea of yours?"

"Of course not!" Sarah's musket was still pressed against Aloy's head, "It's not stupid to think - it's you, Eloi, who is blinded by faith, and the world is big, far bigger than Naga Kapolos. ”

Without speculating, Aloy finally stood up slowly.

"It seems that the preaching is unintentional - only broken bones are the best textbooks."

However, just as Aloy was moving, the entire temple suddenly became very hot.

————————

Priesthood and World Runes are two different powers, Priesthood means an increase in power, while World Runes are the source of power.

The followers of Naga Kapoulos were strictly required to be baptized - either by birth at the temple or by sea when they were adults, and Sarah was baptized by the sea......
