Chapter 595: New Gods
"The king? Savior? ”
Wu Ming was stunned, and then laughed: "Is it possible?" ”
"Anything is possible, especially for you who have inherited the legacy of the King of Conquest!"
The archbishop said solemnly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You know everything!"
The expression on Wu Ming's face also calmed down: "Indeed, I have the ambition to unify the Fengying Plain, but so what? Is the church ready to invest in me? ”
"Yes, on behalf of the entire church, I am ready to invest in you and support you in unifying the entire Wind Firefly Plains!"
The archbishop affirmed.
"Why?"
Wu Ming turned his head and stared at the archbishop with a very speechless expression: "Just because of a prophecy?" ”
"It's not a prophecy, it's a reality someday in the future!"
The archbishop smiled slightly: "Do you know where the Lord we believe in came from in the first place? Our church, in fact, is also a product of the oath of the five kings of the ancients, and it is prepared to unite against the giant serpent one day in the future, do you know what to say? ”
"It is ...... that make you together The Uncrowned King? The Great Sage? ”
Wu Ming expressed his judgment, this kind of long-term layout may only be possible for the demonic sage in history.
"Not bad!"
The archbishop nodded.
"The God in whom you believe...... Could it be the Great Sage? ”
Wu Ming suddenly thought of the inheritance of the power of the people that he had just obtained, and if he revised it again, it would not be a good Shinto method.
"It's not!"
The archbishop replied in the affirmative with a solemn expression: "The great sage saw the need for sustenance in the hearts of the people, so he chose the image of the Lord, which represents truth, nothingness, but only a symbol!" Although the sage made a canon, he did not require anyone to believe in him, but let people find salvation for themselves...... When we pray to God, we are actually only praying to ourselves, and this is the true meaning of all gods without faces! ”
In a reverent voice, he said, "This is a secret passed down by word of mouth to the higher echelons of our church, that the great sage, at the end of his life, passed away peacefully, and he was not made a god, because his will was to complete his life as a mortal. ”
'This is not in accordance with the regulations! ’
Wu Ming secretly complained in his heart: 'Isn't the God of Light and monotheism in the novels of previous lives mostly villains? Why is there such a noble one all of a sudden? This style of painting is wrong! ’
"Wait!"
He suddenly remembered something different: "Then how many oracles in the history of your church, and that holy Gabriel, what happened?" ”
"That is also the true God, the Lord of our faith......"
I don't know why, a wry smile appeared on the corner of the archbishop's mouth: "Although the original intention of the great sage is good, but in this world, there are still few smart people and many ignorant people!" ”
"Wise people believe in our Lord, but they only believe in themselves and redeem themselves, but more fools really entrust their faith to the Void Lord, a god symbol......"
Wu Ming understood at once that the incense of mortal faith is the most incredible thing in the world.
Even if the clay statue of the god is worshipped too much, it will produce humane gods, let alone a well-the-church, well-organized church symbol?
Therefore, for a long time, that symbol, which was only a symbolic meaning, after absorbing enough power of faith, actually had a response, as if a new god was born!
At the moment of the oracle's arrival, the hearts of all the high-ranking members of the church must have been very broken.
And a god, even a newborn god, will instinctively ask for more, so it makes sense to issue an oracle to expand the church.
In the church, of course, not all saints, there are ordinary people and people who are consumed by profit, and the emergence of the new god is a great opportunity for them to seize power, so they come out to make trouble.
This kind of internal strife is often more terrible and terrifying than external conquests.
At its most intense, there were even saints like Gabriel!
Fortunately, the laws of this world are extremely repulsive to the extraordinary power of the legal system, although Gabriel was reckless for a while, but in the end he still hit the street, and even the Pope did not become the Pope, and his death was unknown, and the inside story is really worth playing.
In short, after a New God counterattack, the upper echelons of the church barely managed to grasp the situation and quietly waited for the day when they would fulfill their mission.
Although these are just Wu Ming's brain supplements, they should not be too far from the facts.
The archbishop obviously didn't know what Wu Ming was slandering in his heart, and continued: "You have obtained the certificate of kingship, you have the legal system to rule the Fengying Plains, and in order to unite the entire continent against the disaster that is about to happen, we also need a wise and benevolent king, I think you are very suitable!" ”
"You really ...... Knowing everything. ”
Wu Ming was silent.
"So, what about your choice?"
The archbishop looked at Wu Ming expectantly: "To conquer the entire Wind Firefly Plain, you need our help!" ”
"Of course I do!"
Even though he has been farming silently for several years, and even has the confidence to overthrow the Earl of the Blue Mountains and the Viscount Garcia in one fell swoop, it is easy to conquer, but effective rule is the most difficult.
A sect with local roots, a long history, and strong vitality naturally suits his ruling needs.
It's just that the cooperation between theocracy and royal power, even if it is a temporary benefit, there will be too many disadvantages in the future.
Wu Ming thought about it again and again, and finally replied: "But you must promise me a few conditions!" ”
"Please!"
The archbishop stretched out his right hand.
"You must proclaim that I am the reincarnation of your Lord and have come to the mortal world to take the throne! I will open my mission to you in the future, but the canon must be approved by me, and the face of the god in the church, I ask that it be changed to my appearance! ”
Wu Ming quickly finished talking about these thunderous conditions, and immediately saw the archbishop who was stunned.
Fortunately, this church was not composed of fanatics from the beginning, otherwise the archbishop would have to immediately declare Wu Ming an eternal enemy, and he would have to be completely destroyed both physically and spiritually.
"You're going to ...... Become a god? ”
The archbishop stared at Wu Ming in disbelief.
"I just want to make sure that in the future, the power is still in my hands!"
Wu Ming looked at the archbishop: "Do you hope that in the future, the sleeping new god will wake up again and seize power from you?" If you don't want to, you can only support me and erase it from the source! ”
As a Shinto Emperor and a sixth-level immortal, Wu Ming is quite familiar with the conquest in Shinto.
Many gods have the ability to be immortal, incense, and thoughts, and the only way to completely kill them is to start from the root of faith, so that the entire universe does not have His faith.
In this way, unless the ancient gods who can directly communicate with the origin and obtain the personality of the world, the other great gods will slowly die out and fall in the long river of history.
Since the new god is just a symbol, the current Wu Ming is going to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and replace the virtual concept with himself.
In fact, it is to snatch faith and turn it into one's own accumulation.
"This ...... I want to think about it! ”
The archbishop frowned, just this expression immediately let Wu Ming know that the church is not omniscient.
At least, they were kept in the dark about the inheritance of the power of the people.
"We can only modify the idols, and it is impossible to actively publicize them! This is contrary to our canon! ”
I don't know if the words that obliterate the new god have worked, the archbishop gritted his teeth: "And you can't change our doctrine at will, let alone meddle in the personnel appointments of our church!" ”
"Then you agreed!"
Wu Ming almost laughed in his heart, but his face did not show any light: "On the issue of the church, I still appreciate the proverb, let God return to God, and man to man!" ”
"Good!"
The archbishop nodded: "From today onwards, the church will fully support you in obtaining the entire Wind Firefly Plain!" ”
"It's for our cause!"
Wu Ming didn't know why, but a group of holy warriors suddenly appeared in his mind, holding a sword in one hand and a canon in the other, as if they were fighting a holy war.
"In that case, Sir William! I have a few pieces of news for you here! ”
After making an embarrassing contract, the two sides had a basis of interests at this time, and they were almost allies, and the archbishop immediately gave Wu Ming a few crucial news: "The Earl of Blue Mountain has issued a mobilization order, and the second battle of the lion and tiger has begun!" ”
In the eyes of the Church, the Count of the Blue Mountains was old and not much aggressive, while Viscount Garcia was too aggressive.
Of course, the most important thing is that none of them are the people in the Great Sage's prophecy, let alone the certificate of the king of Teller!
Therefore, the contradiction between the two erupts, and for the church, there are only good things and no bad things.
It's just that for Wu Ming, it's a little unlikely.
"Before I set out, the parishioners of the Tucker Mountains brought me news...... An emissary sent by the Earl of the Blue Mountains has arrived in your territory, and Lady Amelia seems to be struggling! ”
Once the war starts, it is obviously important to have a steady stream of money, food, grass, and the support of soldiers.
Naturally, the Earl of Blue Mountain would not let Carlos lead away, but he actually sent an envoy, which was a little beyond Wu Ming's expectations.
After all, the orthodox ruler of the territory is not there, and with just a few Amelia and Joff, it is easy to show cowardice in front of the orthodox nobles.
In this era, if a lord leaves his fiefdom for too long, he is considered derelict in his duty and is at risk of being stripped of his title.
It's a pity that this inheritance is more about his future planning, and he still has to come to the lesser of two evils.
Now it's time to pay for your previous sloppiness.
Maybe it's a good idea to hurry back to the territory?
