"Give the witch to the Orthodox church, and you can exchange it for at least three thousand gold bushels. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the hall of the castle, the butler Sebadian said: "It is right not to kill her, but it is very dangerous to be locked up in the castle!"

"What if it's not a witch, but a saint of some strange god? ”

Li Qi sat on the main seat and said absent-mindedly.

In view of the fact that the goddess pointed out that the little girl was a valuable asset to the great cause of the revolution and an evil existence in the eyes of mortals, Li Qi did not make any rash decision, but simply transferred the grandfather and grandson from the prison to the corner tower of the castle and kept them in solitary confinement.

Sebadian's explanation helped him complete the concept of "witch".

In the world of Finn, supernatural powers are everywhere, and there is no such thing as a "witch" who is considered evil because of her abilities.

Compared with the "witches" that a certain warm male prince in the other world spared no effort to collect, the witches of the Finn world are in a much worse situation.

They are hunted down by the Church, hated by mortals, and even the devil does not want to get involved with them. An evil necromancer or lich would rather reveal his true identity than be mistaken for a witch.

As for the reason, Sebadian paraphrased the official statements of the major churches: "Witches are vessels of iniquity and defile the faith and corrupt the soul. ”

According to the church, iniquity is the promiscuity of gods...... Uh, in short, all kinds of strange beings born in abnormal states. If the gods are compared to matter, the gods are antimatter and should not have been left in the world.

However, Finn is a very active high-demon world, and the barrier of the main material plane often cracks, and various plane invasion events such as beast tides, demon tides, and elemental tides have broken out, and it is not uncommon for gods to take the opportunity to smuggle in.

For the gods to live on earth for a long time, they must be housed in suitable containers, and young women are the best choice. The purpose of their existence is to defile and corrupt all divinities, and thus destroy all gods. When it comes to the human world, it is natural to focus on the source of divinity, that is, mortal faith.

As a result, the churches of the gods, whether they are openly walking Orthodox Christians or underground churches that can only operate in secret, regard the search for witches as the highest level of permanent daily tasks.

However, Li Qi still didn't understand why mortals could easily identify witches.

If it weren't for the hint given to him by the goddess, he would have thought that he was just a professional with special skills and some special effects.

"Master, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, just listening to Mr. Sardar and the guards is enough to confirm that she is a witch!"

Sebadian raised three fingers: "First, although the true body of the witch is varied, all of them have dark wings. ”

This is there, but it can only be regarded as a special effect, and dark professionals, or cool magicians can do it.

"Second, witches are beautiful maidens or little girls. ”

What is this standard? Is beauty a sin?

"Thirdly, and most importantly, when a witch reveals her true nature, no matter what god she worships, she sees it from afar, her faith will be polluted and her power will be corrupted. ”

Speaking of this, Sebadian glanced at Sardar next to him, the knight was sweating profusely, and his eyes and thick neck were urging a fighting spirit. But the long sword is like a glow stick with insufficient batteries, and the brilliance is much dimmer than before.

"No——! Your Majesty Shuma, I will never waver in my faith in you!"

The knight knelt on the ground with his sword in his hand, and hissed to call to Shuma, the god of knights he believed in, vividly showing the third point spoken by the steward.

That's the key, and that's why the witch is listed as Fein's public enemy. The indiscriminate corruption of extraordinary power is, of course, the hatred of God and the fear of people.

Li Qi still has questions: "I'm with ...... The witch has direct contact, why is it okay?"

The pain is very painful, but there are no sequelae, and it even feels like there are some benefits that I haven't figured out yet, and it seems that the church's statement is only one side.

Sebadian replied very implicitly: "Mr. Sardar is a second-class knight, sir, you are only a trainee knight, and you have not really touched the extraordinary power. ”

Richie pretended to cough because he was an egg, and whether it was multiplication and division or squared to find the root, he was still an egg.

"Master, the influence of faith and strength is only one aspect, the most terrible thing about witches is all kinds of evil curses, I think ......"

Sebadian also wanted to persuade Richie to take the little girl to church immediately for money, but the sound of flipping books in Richie's head finally stopped.

This is the reason why he has been absent-minded, the goddess is also a novice on the road, speechless for a lot of questions raised by him, and is checking the information, he has to wait for the goddess.

Sebadian's side had to be perfunctory, Li Qi thought about it, and chose the statement that best suited the housekeeper's thinking: "There are dozens of orthodox churches in the kingdom, we have to find the highest price, you should go and inquire about the market first." ”

Sebadian raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised by Richie's "suddenly enlightened" performance.

He bowed: "Master, you are right, I will do it as soon as possible." ”

Without waiting for Li Qi to speak, he added: "Don't worry, master, I will never leak the news." ”

I have to say that Richie's impression of the housekeeper is changing, and he is even a little glad that the cheap dad has finally left a useful legacy.

The butler left, and Richie asked the knight dressed as a statue: "Sardar, have you been demoted?"

"Downgrade?"

Sardar touched his head: "Yes, there is no demotion! His Majesty Xiuma just spat at me, and he hasn't kicked me away yet, haha! His Majesty Xiuma is still taking care of me!"

It's useful, but looking at his heartless appearance, like a goldfish with only a seven-second memory, you can't expect too much from him.

"Go and find the witch's grandfather, what are you afraid of, just shout through the door, and say I'll give him a chance to explain. ”

Sending Sardar away, Richie turned his attention to communicating with the goddess.

"Things have to start with the nature of Finn's world......"

"Be concise, Your Majesty, don't make the opening essay an expository essay. ”

"Hmm...... Let's put it this way, in the world of Fein, supernatural power is carried by divinity. The mortal revolution in which everyone becomes a god does not violate the fundamental laws of the world of Fein, where every mortal has divinity. ”

"This is the setting that most fantasy worlds will have, otherwise how can mortals ignite the divine fire and sit on the throne. ”

"Don't interject! Oh, divinity. ”

The goddess gave Richie a concise lesson in Fein's theology, which the goddess read most of the time. It is estimated that her knowledge, as well as the statement that the witch is called a "fallen god", is also the opinion of another school outside the church, which makes Li Qi more reliable to the goddess.

In Fein, the ancient gods who relied on nature have declined, and the main god system is the present god supported by faith.

Faith condenses the divinity of mortals and creates the priesthood, which also determines the flow of supernatural power, which in turn is the carrier of supernatural power, thus forming a closed loop.

Ideally, this closed loop should be orderly, but the deity's conduct of the priesthood is not ideal. As history changes, the gods have changed, and so has the priesthood. Allowing part-time jobs, or multiple faiths, was quite common in Finn, making the faith even more messy.

For example, the knightly god of Sardar's belief in this priesthood is condensed from the belief in the seven virtues of knighthood. However, after the mortal Shuma took the priesthood, he linked his faith to himself, and continued to compete with the gods of war, warriors, and other gods related to battle, and the true faith in the seven virtues withered.

As long as these withered beliefs are not completely dissipated, it is still possible to gather divinity and give birth to a new priesthood. However, the gods who held the original priesthood occupied the position, and the new priesthood could not ascend to the realm of the gods, but could only be exiled from the human world and become the awakening opportunity of mortals.

Of course, in terms of carriers, the saying of "fallen gods" is the same as "witches", and only girls are qualified to take on it.

"That's what it means to fall into God......"

Richie's heart was agitated: "That is to say, they are actually ......"

The goddess affirmed his reasoning: "They are goddesses who are stranded in the mortal world!"

She hurriedly added: "Of course, they are different from my essence, and they will never ascend to the kingdom of God. ”

Yes, they are wild natives, and you are a high-level talent who is a person who leads (steals) into (crosses).

Li Qi understood one more thing: "They were beaten into black households, and when they consciously or unconsciously activated their divine power in the mortal world, it was like pulling wires from the corridor of the dormitory building, which was not recognized by the decent gods and the divine power system they controlled, so there would be filth and corruption." ”

"That's right, what does that mean?"

The goddess turned into a broadcaster again: "It means that Finn's current god class is all usurpation reactionaries! They have usurped the fruits of the people's revolution, suppressed Finn's metabolism, and hindered the progress of history.

Li Qi felt that her liver and gallbladder were very painful, and before the mortal revolution began, she was thinking about making trouble in the heavenly palace.

"I'm steady above", the goddess encouraged: "You do a good job below!"

There was something wrong with this, but Li Qi felt that it was better not to delve into it.

He came up with a new reasoning: "The gods have promoted the fallen gods as witches through the church, but is the truth that they want to absorb the priesthood from them?"

"Fallen God...... That is, the witch's priesthood has not been promoted to the level of the divine kingdom, and the gods cannot directly absorb it, but the pure divinity in their bodies is an excellent food for strengthening the divine power. ”

The goddess swallowed her spit and said very frankly: "Of course, it is also my food, which I can use to condense the new priesthood." ”

But you can't eat it directly, after all, you are a black family smuggled from another world, and you must go through me, the spokesperson who has integrated into the world of Fein, which means that you must eat what I have chewed.

Li Qi wisely did not say these thoughts, and the goddess only seemed to be vaguely aware of his thoughts, and could not read his mind directly to him.

He then asked the practical question: "What did you say about Amway...... Uh, absorbing into a devout believer, how is this going to happen?"

The goddess was silent for a while, didn't speak again, and only swiped a line of words on the light screen: "Do you have to ask me to tell you every detail of everything?"

Actually, you don't understand, do you......

screamed a few times, but the goddess didn't react anymore, and Li Qi lamented, he would be offended by such a boss in the future.

At this time, Sardar escorted the old man over, and as soon as he entered the hall, the old man threw himself on the ground and wailed: "Lord Viscount, please don't hand over Fini to the church, she is really not a witch!"

After saying that, he gasped for breath and said, "She is...... Be...... Holy Maiden of the Goddess of Suffering!"
