Chapter 490: Betting on both sides

Central of the Empire, Province of Pumira.

It was almost evening, and in the square in the city, a large crowd of people was gathering, all of them with solemn expressions and silent words, under the command and guidance of the low-level clergy around them, walking towards the newly built tall temple on the east side of the square.

At this time, it is the church's prescribed time for worship and prayer.

There are many churches on the mainland, and many of the rules are actually similar between different churches, and even those who have to change their faith for some reason can quickly adapt to the new canonical canons.

For example, after dinner, believers should go to the temple to pray to the gods, which was originally proposed by the church of the sun god, and later the vast majority of the gods in the human camp recognized this custom, and some foreign gods effectively imitated it.

On the ornate terrace of a penthouse in a luxury hotel, two veiled young women silently watched the surging and silent crowd below, all destined for the milky temple in the distance.

“…… Hehe, what a wealthy god. ”

After a long time, a soft and cold voice sounded, and the figure under the dark purple lady's long skirt was slender and graceful, exuding a faint majesty in her gestures.

Although the city has a permanent population of only about 300,000, the temple is still built in such a grand way that compared to other churches, it is perhaps only a major parish with a population of one million that has a similar size of the temple.

The main building of the temple is about 100 meters high, and together with the surrounding outbuildings, it is made of a whole piece of moire star sand stone, this milky white rock texture is extremely tough, with a natural cloud texture, and also has a good magic guide effect, which can be painted on it with a high-level magic array, so it belongs to a widely used magic material, and its value is undoubtedly quite precious.

None of Pumira, nor the surrounding provinces, produces cloud-patterned star sandstone, which was apparently mined from the depths of the Central Mountain Range tens of thousands of kilometers away, and then transported here in batches by magical energy floating transports.

But even so, this obviously expensive temple was successfully completed within a month, and it was completed quickly and well, the exterior walls, steps, minarets and other areas of the temple are intricate and ornate carvings, every detail is carefully treated, and the huge pale golden magic array on the ground can easily see its extraordinary.

Next to her, the Holy Maiden of the Church of the Goddess of Wisdom, Greely, was also dressed as a noble girl, and her beautiful eyes looked at the black crowd on the ground, and said softly:

"His Majesty the Emperor, or the new god of the future, has indeed made a bloody investment in order to promote his faith!"

"According to the information held by the church, there is now a lot of construction in all parts of the Xingshan Empire, and the number of temples under the same regulation has exceeded five hundred, and the number of smaller temples is even more. What's more, each temple has a corresponding level of priests and priests to preside over. ”

The woman who spoke earlier was the embodiment of the goddess of wisdom, Padolia, who walked on the earth, and her star-like eyes under the veil quietly looked at the clergy, and she was silent for a moment.

They are well-groomed, well-mannered, affable and natural, and are clearly highly professionally trained. And the robes on the body are all uniformly customized by the church, the style is gorgeous and majestic, atmospheric and old-fashioned, the sterling silver emblem on the chest, and other accessories are simple and fine, at first glance it is a masterpiece from the hands of famous artists, from the fabric to the craftsmanship are the best choice, far from those small churches can be compared with the shabby style.

Seeing the subtleties, from small to large, only the grassroots clergy can have such qualities, and the costumes can be so carefully designed, not to mention the middle and high-level bishops, priests, and high priests.

All in all, many old churches with medium deities may not be able to match the level.

In everything, it can be said that the founding hero of the Star Fir Empire has great ambitions, or great ambitions.

In fact, they had been traveling within the territory of the Star Cedar Empire for several months, and what they had seen and heard along the way had many things that subverted some of their past perceptions.

Urban layout planning, road transportation facilities, commercial and trade development, agricultural and water conservancy arrangements, etc., all aspects of the empire were carried out in an orderly manner, and the grassroots administrative system was rigorous, efficient, and orderly, and it is difficult to believe that this is a huge empire that has been born less than ten years ago.

"He's just a demigod, isn't he?"

The goddess of wisdom incarnated and said faintly: "There is no way to give the priests and priests the ability to use divine magic, so even if they vigorously spread the doctrine and promote the faith now, there should not be too many people who are willing to believe in him, why is this happening?" ”

Without condensing a complete clerical godhead, it is impossible to give divine magic, which means that no matter how many priests and priests believe in Qin Feng, they are basically just decorations, and without the strength to support them, it is difficult to call on believers and shepherd sentient beings.

From igniting the divine fire to obtaining the godhead, this is indeed a relatively awkward and difficult transition period for the new gods, and it is also a very fragile period for the new gods.

The Holy Maiden Greelei frowned and said: "He is the founding master of this empire, and his prestige and authority are unmatched in the country, so his appeal to the people is still very strong, far from being comparable to ordinary kings. And there are many effective means of promoting faith, such as wealth ......"

The goddess of wisdom incarnate stopped talking.

Can the faith be spread with the Godhead? This is not a view that everyone can agree with. Not to mention here, it is the main world where there is no supernatural power, and several major religions have existed for thousands of years, and they are thriving so far, just by the mouths of those clergy, hundreds of millions of believers can gather.

When Qin Feng's church began to promote the faith, it only issued a decree: all people who were willing to believe in religion could get the right to reduce part of the taxes, and the shortfall in the imperial treasury would be filled by the royal family.

Most of the common people are realistic, and in less than half a year, the number of civilians who are willing to believe in Qin Feng has exceeded 100 million, and it is increasing at a rate of hundreds of thousands every day.

"If that's the case, once Qin Feng ascends the Divine Throne to the top of the Heavenly Dome in the future, he can immediately become a powerful divine power, and if he wants to deal with it, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." The goddess of wisdom incarnated slowly.

The main god of war, Aulopton, has already had a lot of trouble with Qin Feng, and she is also involved in the plan to deal with Qin Feng led by it, originally she had confidence in this, but now she feels a little bottomless in her heart.

The Holy Maiden Greeli hesitated and said, "Even if Qin Feng can really gain enough faith power before returning to the Heavenly Dome, as a new god, his mastery of the rules of the godhead priesthood must not be too profound, maybe this is the opportunity of the gods......"

The incarnation of the goddess of wisdom shook her head slightly, and then the new god, after all, has reached the level of powerful divine power, and it is by no means comparable to those weak divine power, weak and other divine power, and the price of wanting to erase it is also very huge. So big that even an old god like Oropeton would have to think twice.

Moreover, since Qin Feng foresaw the dangerous situation he would inevitably face in the future, it would be impossible for him to sit still, if he could also manage to win over some gods as allies, the main god of war really didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while.

The war between the two gods and the war between the two groups of gods is completely different in nature, and it is very likely to affect the order of the god camp above the heavenly dome. Maybe at that time, many old gods will come out to persuade them.

This is like the five hooligans of the United Nations Security Council in the main world, all of whom have the right of veto and the strength to change the world pattern. When two of the big hooligans got into trouble and were about to turn their faces and make a move, the other big hooligans would basically try to mediate and mediate, no matter what their considerations.

Because the consequences of starting a large-scale war between two big hooligans are too serious, the other big hooligans cannot be left alone, and sooner or later they will be dragged into the water, and the consequences of the situation getting out of control are likely to lead to a full-scale nuclear war, and eventually the end of human civilization in this era.

The incarnation of the goddess of wisdom pondered for a long time before saying: "Maybe it won't be too long, there will be a powerful new member in the camp of the human gods, in fact, from our standpoint, this is not a bad thing, and it is those foreign gods who should feel a headache for this." ”

Greeley respectfully agreed, this kind of two-sided betting was not unusual, and as a high-ranking servant of the gods, of course, she could only rely on the will of the goddess.

The incarnation of the goddess of wisdom made up her mind: "Later, you will go and officially visit Lingxiao City and talk to that emperor about cooperation, anyway, the God of War Church is doing business with him now, and it is only right that we seek some benefits for the majority of believers." ”

"Yes, as you wish."

……

Palace.

In the gorgeous dormitory, Qin Feng walked out of the golden curtain refreshed, and on the wide royal bed, several snowy and enchanting carcasses were still sleeping.

In the crystal bath next door, the gold and jade paving the floor, the crystal is the wall, the fragrance is pleasant, the clear hot spring water is gurgling, the milky white water vapor is steaming, and the dome is inlaid with countless gems, reflecting the brilliant light and shadow, which is beautiful.

Not far from the side, there are chairs and tables, as well as exquisite drinks and snacks, and stacks of concerts piled up on the desk, all of which are more urgent matters.

After soaking in the warm spring water for a while, he got up, dressed in the glittering light, and leaned back on the chair by the pool and began to read a local book.

After a while, Qin Luxue quietly flashed in, came to his side and rubbed it, changed a comfortable posture and squeezed around to watch, the fragrance was permeated, and the exquisite gold collar on the jade neck was shining.

As the prince of the empire, she has now begun to learn to handle government affairs, and once Qin Feng returns to the heavenly vault, the position of this emperor will naturally belong to her.

"Come with me on a long trip today." Qin Feng said.

"Do what?"

Qin Luxue blinked her beautiful eyes and asked puzzledly.

"The treasures left by the primeval gods should be opened."

Qin Feng explained: "By the way, I have to call Sylvanas and Fenrir, I hope that the harvest inside will not disappoint me." ”
