Chapter 267: The Mystery of the Priesthood
"Do as you ask, Lady Yvette. ”
Al responded indifferently.
He came here to find the theologian Marvin, and it would be best to get rid of Yvette.
Yvette tore open a portal and sent her back to High Rock.
Marven was gentle with Yvette, and he didn't have so many superfluous expressions for Al, and he was bent on those documents.
Al didn't say anything, stood quietly to the sidelines, watching Marven work like a student.
He already knew that Marven didn't have any power, and the shadows were silently scattered into a thin layer, sneaking into the pages of the books and copying these books.
Most of these books are collected orc literature, and things that have been translated and guessed by scholars. I don't know if it's the theologian Marvin, Ms. Yvette, or the collection of the Church of Magic.
The guards and servants of the High Rock Castle stationed here bring a simple but sumptuous lunch to lunch.
Marven waved his hand, and lunch was set aside. Attentive people don't want to waste a second of their time here.
Marven is researching, and Al, who got the information, is also researching.
This altar communicates with the orc god of death, a primitive race god who is not well known in the human world. Sacrifice the lives of hundreds of orcs, attract the attention of the god of death, and perform great feats of divine power.
The container that carried the divine power at the beginning was probably taken away by the orc shaman, and that container may be an important medium to lure out the tyrant's blood burned out of the severed finger.
It wasn't until it was dark, and he couldn't study any longer, that Marven closed the book and entered the tent.
"Come in, Al. ”
"It's an honor. ”
The tent doesn't look big on the outside, but inside it has a vast hall and a dozen rooms. Study, bedroom, bath, servants, flowers, food, you name it.
This is exactly the mansion technique that the mage brigade field walker must have.
Marven sat at the dining table in the living room, giving instructions to the servants who served on the side.
"Bring me a meat pie, a vegetable soup, and fresh fruit. ”
"Look again at what our guests need. ”
"Same as Mr. Marvin's. ”
Marven didn't be too polite, nodded and leaned back in the comfortable chair.
"Are you here for me? ”
Al is not very good at disguising his purpose, and when Lady Yvette introduced Marven, Al looked at him several times. Today, Jared and Yvette are not there, only Marven is alone, Al is not only not disappointed, but also looks at Marven's research with great interest, and knows that he is coming to him.
"Yes, Mr. Marvin. I have some questions I would like to ask you, I don't know if it is convenient or not. ”
"Well, you say, look at the young people that the church praises, and what are some of the embarrassing questions. ”
"Did you know that the God of the Guardians became the God of Vengeance last year?"
"Of course, this is a big deal in the human world. Instead of becoming a god of revenge, he absorbed the god of revenge and became a god who took care of guarding, guarding, and revenge. ”
Marven replied indifferently, in the Eagle Empire, mortals' fear of the gods is not as strong as elsewhere.
"What is the priesthood, Mr. Marven. ”
"Priesthood is the condensation of strength, the embodiment of behavior, the basis for the gods to absorb their beliefs, and the coordinates of the connection between worshippers and gods. Believers give their faith and are absorbed by the priesthood to give back to the gods. ”
"Does the Lord of Radiance's gift of his own priesthood of vengeance to the God of Guardians have no effect on Him?"
"There are many sources of divine power, and the power of faith is the most troublesome. The higher gods who want to go are trying to break free from their constraints. It is a pity that few people can take this step, and the priesthood has made them and restrained them, and they are finally contaminated into a shell that has lost itself by the assimilation of the priesthood. Dark Sun is a prime example. ”
Dark Sun, the god of lies and conspiracy, Syric, the god of the Sages, the god of God, O, the god himself ascended.
When the three gods of death were still mortals, they were incomparably powerful, they feared death and coveted its power. They traveled to every land in the world, setting off battle after battle, looking for traces of death.
Eventually, they came to the Lord of the End of All Things. The ancient Reaper, tired of his duties, gave them his powers, split into three, and together became one of the most powerful gods in the world.
The god of strife, the god of tyranny, the dark king, Bane.
The god of the dead, Mirkor.
The god of murder, the god of killing, Baal.
They became catastrophes, dominating the era, doing whatever they wanted, killing mortals, starting wars, and destroying nations.
Stealing the fate tablet of the god of God, the god of God's rage, all the gods in the sky were knocked down to the mortal world, causing the famous Sage Catastrophe.
Ciric was only a mortal at the time, and he killed his companions and snatched the Tablet of Destiny to offer to the god of God, O.
O, personally promoted him to the new god, and gave all the power and priesthood of the three powerful gods of death to Shirek. In an instant, Ciric became the strongest god under one god and above all gods.
The god of lies, the god of conspiracy, the god of murder, the god of deception.
With his deceptive priesthood, he wrote a book of true nerves in a frenzy, hypnotizing himself as the strongest god and the only true god.
Anyone who dares to oppose Ciric will die.
Bow before His supreme power, and give Him the blood of fools who do not believe in the One True God.
Fear and honor those in power, and kill the weak, the hypocrites, and the false prophets. To defeat the churches of other faiths, which are false religions that rebel against the One True God.
Kill the foolish people who rebel against the church and advocate peace, order, and law, only Cirek is the only truth, and all other people in power must be defeated.
Don't act openly, too much will only allow the false gods to discover our tracks. Defeat one enemy at a time, plunging everyone into fear, unease, and endless infighting.
In order to achieve the goal, everything must be done.
All gods are His enemies, and He doesn't need friends.
He is His Majesty the Black Sun, His Majesty the Dark Sun, Prince of Lies, Ciric.
The mere mention of His name is an irrepressible fear.
Recently.
Such doctrines and beliefs offended almost all the gods, and the dark gods felt that Ciric's excessive frenzied power grabbing had put their original influence at risk, and that Ciric's methods were too despicable and impermanent to obey even the most basic rules of the dark game, so no one cooperated with him, and no one believed in it (even if it was temporary).
And the neutral gods are even more disgusted with Shirek doing whatever he wants, breaking all rules and divisions.
As for the good gods, they hate his evil deeds and are inseparable from him.
Shirek, who was influenced by his own priesthood and deceived himself, woke up from his lies a long, long time later, with the help of many fanatical believers, at a huge cost.
