Chapter 344: Cat and Mouse Game
As a liar, Tovey's posture level is superb.
Although Rhodes often fools people, there is an essential difference in the way of the two people.
Rhodes is because he collects a lot of information and is powerful, so he often only tells the truth and then makes people have certain associations.
If Rhodes is a liar, it is purely wronged - he rarely tells lies other than his own name, and he prefers to use truth and logic to get the goal to the conclusion he wants.
The process is logically flawless.
Compared with Rhodes's "honest fraud", Tovey, who does not have so many sources, can only change the way of fraud.
Tovey lied—but every time Tovey lied, someone begged him to tell him, and the lies he told were the ones they wanted to hear.
Tovey is also very perceptive of human psychology, preferring to put the goal in a choice, and then induce the target to make the choice he wants him to make.
For example, this time, Tovey chose to push the boat with the flow when others already had an "eyebrow" about their identity.
Tovey's actions weren't enough to sustain him as a prophet, but he became a prophet by choosing to cast doubt and then affirm it.
People don't like to doubt their proven judgments.
In this way, Tovey became the "Prophet of the Cult of the Guardian of the Storm" and had countless fans.
There are old and young, men and women.
Tovey himself knew that among these supporters were fools who had been deceived by him, and there were also peers who had seen fools who wanted to get a piece of the pie, and not all of them really believed that they were prophets.
But so what?
Fools will not doubt, peers will not tear down, those who call for help have no choice - in this case, they are prophets!
As for the true Cult of the Storm Patronus......
In Tovey's opinion, there may be some kind of transcendent existence, but there is no complete sect at all!
Even Tovey had some bold ideas - if he could, he might not be able to go ashore and become a true prophet!
If you really see the gods...... Who says gods cannot be deceived?
I have to say that three years of silence have made Tovey grow a lot from a simple liar who cheats money.
After an initial period of discomfort, Tovey is now slowly getting acquainted with what it's like to be a prophet.
Tovey has a regular day-to-day routine.
Get up early in the morning, organize the congregation to pray before breakfast (the prayers are all made up by Tovey, and he himself doesn't know what he's talking about), prostrate and bow down when he sees a tornado (after all, it's a cult of the Guardian of the Storm, and it's related to the storm), pour chicken soup for the soul when he encounters the suffering (he doesn't seem to have any other way than to pour chicken soup), and stand on the moral high ground to blame when he encounters sin (justifiably condemned)......
To outsiders, Master Tovey is wise and kind, but in reality?
In fact, Tovey's fortune is increasing, his followers are increasing, and some people even recommend their own pillows......
From a small liar to a big liar, Tovey had a moment of trepidation – but was back to normal after just two days.
To be able to become a liar, you must have a good mental endurance!
But Tovey is not a mage after all, and he doesn't have any magic abilities, so if he keeps accepting the offering of chicken soup like this, what if he is replaced by his peers one day?
Tovey is well aware that there are many people in his camp who covet the position of prophet!
Just three days ago, Tovey was assassinated.
A man in the "sect" wants to assassinate Tovey in the dark.
The assassin was also very capable, and he was a mage apprentice - he figured out Tovey's level and habits, and then sneaked into Tovey's room, intending to kill him in one shot.
However, as a perennial cheater, Tovey's combat effectiveness is not good, and there are many tricks to save his life - the assassin did not expect that the ordinary furnishings in the room are the switches triggered by many hidden weapons.
The hapless mage died a tragic death in the trap of a blade that suddenly appeared.
Tovey didn't make the matter public, just disposed of the body hastily - but he felt he needed to be careful anyway.
As the power of the self grows, so will the pretenders become more and more numerous and stronger.
If a truly powerful person comes next time, will he be able to save the day?
Not necessarily.
In this situation, Tovey thought of a good way to distract everyone, keep himself safe, and confirm his status.
Pilgrimage!
Tovey was not in Sungai when he was "found to be a prophet", but the Storm Guardian was first seen in Sungai.
The quick-witted Tovey plans to make a ceremonial trip to Sungai Town.
One is to proclaim the legitimacy of his own prophet, and to divert everyone's attention, and third, to ...... Sungai is almost the safest place in the Black Forest, where you can make yourself much safer.
In this way, Tovey openly announced that he had received an oracle to make a pilgrimage to the town of Sungai.
Naturally, the believers believed in the prophet's "oracle", and they followed in the footsteps of this Towi and embarked on a journey to Sungai Town.
There are ambitious liars, believers in the dark, and poor people in desperation......
If no one debunks, if everyone believes—if one day, Tovey dies, will it be an irrefutable fact that all the "teachings" he preached, all the "prayers" he prayed for?
And those who are attached to this "religion" will be perfected from generation to generation, and from generation to generation, after a thousand years, any doubter will no longer be faced with a liar – but an infinite number of liars.
The Cult of the Storm Patronus has unwittingly set off a monstrous wave in the Black Forest, and this wave is about to reach its peak.
Tovey's preparation for his complete success from the "pilgrimage" was nothing short of thorough - he even compromised with some of his fellow mages, promising to hand over some of his power in exchange for the support of his spells.
These crooks have colluded to create enough cool light and shadow effects for the pilgrimage, and Tovey is even more temperamental and unbeatable in the center of the team.
How can those who really want to be blessed by the gods and who really need help think of the prophets they believe in...... But a complete liar!
And Rod took Jana and watched the pilgrimage team quietly in mid-air.
It turns out that careerists are everywhere.
If Rhodes really raised the flag directly, would some of the pilgrimage team also reunite directly under Rhodes' flag?
Those who were scammed are fine, but those scammers ...... Will Rhodes be able to find them all?
Thankfully, the rats are finally out in groups.
