Belief has always been a fun thing.

Corondo Webster had no previous faith.

Although he once worshipped the god of the sea in order to pray for the safety of the ship.

Although he used parchment to make sacrifices in order to find a glimmer of life.

But that's not true faith.

If a "god" suddenly appears and asks him to give everything he has, he will certainly not be willing.

But what Su Xian said was actually very clear.

"Give God everything you have, and God will give you everything."

In pure mathematical logic, it is 1-1+1=1.

Nothing has changed.

It's yours or yours, it's not yours and it's not yours.

It's just nominal.

That is, from now on, your things will become "things that God has given you."

But what's the difference?

After all, God is still asleep.

"The twilight is gone, the night is coming, the gods are resurrected, and the age of the gods is about to return."

Doesn't this so-called oracle mean that God has not yet awakened?

Twilight, or "Ragnarok".

It was a sign of the end of a great era, and Corondo was clear of it.

His mind was moving fast.

He offered sacrifices to God, and it was the "messengers" who heard his voice.

So what is the difference between a "divine angel" and a "god"?

At least for him now, there is no difference between the two.

Joining "Solomon" is actually the same as joining an organization led by an "oracle."

This must be an organization of transcendent beings.

And supernatural power is exactly what he desperately needs now.

Get through this moment first.

More on that later.

Wait for God to wake up.

If only God really would wake up.

……

As for Corondo's obedience, Su Xian was not surprised.

Because it's going almost according to his train of thought.

If there is an accident, it is the phased change brought about by absorbing the third parchment.

He needed time to digest the change.

Until then, though, there's still something to do.

In order to be presentable, he began to preach doctrine after Corondo had promised to join.

The so-called "doctrines" were naturally compiled on an ad hoc basis.

However, it did not come out of thin air, but his adaptation based on "The Canon of the Serpent of History".

The doctrines are long and complex, but they are basically the ones that are usually found in denominations.

Su Xian was talking patiently.

Corondo listened patiently.

As for whether or not they will follow the teachings after listening to them, it really depends on the exchange of interests afterwards.

That is, is it worth it?

……

The whole preaching process lasted for half an hour, and it was barely over.

If there is any intention to develop this "Solomon" in the future, it must be necessary to compile a true canon.

But Su Xian hasn't thought about it that much now.

When he felt that the form was almost gone, he stopped preaching and said to Corondo, "Remember? ”

Corondo didn't remember much, but he still said against his will: "Keep it in mind." ”

Su Xian closed the book, stretched out his hand to his eyebrows, and whispered: "It's still the same sentence, offer everything you have to God, and God will give you everything." How you go from here depends on how you choose. God will care for you, but He will not move on your behalf. I know you're in danger, and when you return, God will give you back the favor with your sincerity. ”

Corondo suddenly realized that he had been thinking about the reason since the last sacrifice was denied, and now he finally understood something.

It was not that his sacrifice was not sincere enough, but that he was not qualified to offer it.

And now that he is finally qualified, if he sacrifices again, he should have something to gain.

It's just that how to perform the sacrifice also needs the guidance of the oracle.

So he held back his excitement and asked sincerely.

Su Xian told him the basic methods of sacrifice one by one.

It's just that at this moment, even Su Xian himself doesn't know if he can make a successful sacrifice without parchment in his hand.

Moreover, Su Xian did not tell Columon about the rarity requirements of the sacrifice.

It's up to Corondo to figure it out on his own.

Of course, Su Xian did not show it, he wanted to maintain an all-knowing and all-powerful image in front of Corondo.

……

When he learned that he could pray to the gods through sacrifice, Corondo couldn't wait to try it.

Su Xian saw Corondo's intentions, so he didn't say anything more.

At this point, the purpose of his visit tonight has been basically accomplished.

Eventually, he asked Corondo to bring in two goods that had been auctioned off on the black market.

Although Corondo did not know what his intentions were, he did not ask more, but directly ordered his men to carry the two goods into the room, and then closed the door very interestingly.

Of the two cargo, Miffa Firinx was still asleep, her face calm, completely unaware that her situation had changed drastically.

The shark man, on the other hand, saw everything from beginning to end, but his eyes were numb and motionless.

"These are the two people you auctioned off from the black market?"

"Yes. They ......"

Corondo's eyes welled up with expressive desire, and he hurriedly wanted to tell the origin of these two people in detail.

But Su Xian interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Then, instead of paying attention to Miffa Firinx, he took a closer look at the shark man and asked, "Can you speak?" ”

The shark man turned his head slightly to look at him, but only glanced at him, then turned back to stare straight up.

Su Xian was silent for a while, and then said to Corondo: "Call someone to come and pump the water in this bathtub." ”

Corondo immediately took the order: "Yes. ”

But just as he was about to turn around, the shark man jerked his head up, let his face come to the surface, and said anxiously, "Wait, I can speak!" ”

It seems that he doesn't want to die yet.

Su Xian nodded: "Let's talk about it, your experience." ”

Corondo also quickly stopped and listened carefully, this shark man was one of his hopes.

The shark man exhaled helplessly and had to say, "I used to be a fisherman. ”

……

To be exact, the group of mutants with gills, including this shark man, were once fishermen.

There were eight of them in total, and the remaining seven were still in the hands of the "Trident".

Before he developed gill slits, he was just an ordinary fisherman who made a living fishing in the South China Sea.

It all started that day.

The group of eight went out to sea as usual on a medium-sized fishing boat, and the trip was expected to take three days, with only two nights at sea.

But in the early morning after the first night, fog began to rise on the sea.

At first, they thought it was just a normal morning fog that would dissipate when the sun rose.

But the fog never lifted.

They didn't know that the fog was coming from inside the city, and that the fog was so thick that the ships couldn't make out the way.

There was no way, they could only stop and wait.

But driven by the waves, the fishing boats are still drifting.

By noon, the fishermen, including the shark man, gathered because they were hungry, and of course they brought food and ate it immediately.

However, as they ate, they had no idea that their fishing boat had drifted from one fog to another.

The fog was born with fog fish, and it was a deep-sea fog that should not have been in the offshore area.

But they did come across.

This was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the fog fish are extremely prized species, and if they can take the opportunity to catch enough fog fish, they will get a lot of money.

But at the time, they didn't realize it at all, and they completely missed this opportunity to make a fortune.

But even if you realize it, it doesn't make much sense.

The fog was unusual.

Fishermen who unknowingly inhale a lot of fog begin to undergo changes from within their bodies.

First, the internal organs tumbled and I wanted to vomit.

After that, the face cracked and blood flowed out.

Then I had difficulty breathing and became more and more thirsty.

Because there was a three-day itinerary booked, there was not much fresh water to bring on board.

But in order to quench their thirst, the fishermen no longer care so much, they frantically scramble for fresh water, desperately pouring it into their mouths.

During the scramble, someone was accidentally pushed into the sea.

Amid the man's screams, the rest finally came to their senses and hurriedly climbed to the side of the boat to look down.

But the fog was so thick that nothing could be seen.

Fortunately, the man did not drown.

Of course, he couldn't have drowned, because he had already grown cheeks by then.

……

"Later, when we rescued him, he told us that he could breathe in the sea and that he would not be thirsty. So we tried one by one, and sure enough, we were no longer thirsty. But instead of being surprised, we were more frightened. Nobody wants to be a fish, does they? ”

The shark man smiled bitterly.

Su Xian asked, "After that, what else did you encounter?" ”

The shark man said, "We encountered a hurricane, isn't it a coincidence? While we were terrifying that we had become fish, a hurricane hit the sea, destroying not only our boat, but also swept us ashore. And then they were taken away by the group. They kept us in a fish tank and watched us with a whole bunch of people watching us like they did with precious fish species. No matter how much we shout, they don't think they can hear it. But I was lucky, and the worst was Sander, who was cut open like a fish, along the line, in the center of his abdomen......"
