Chapter 50: The Art of Pleasing the Gods
The five of Lawrence, who had changed into ordinary robes, walked in the direction of Momiji-gun, which was pointed out on the map.
They are now squires who escaped from Baron Doos's estate. Because their family was killed by an unknown demon, they want to gain the power to take revenge.
This is the method that Bai Ming concocted for them to get close to the Divine Descendants.
Out of the Barony of Dus, go straight east for more than 100 miles to the county seat of Momiji County, Valen. There is a temple to the god of emotions.
And Lawrence: That's where they go. It is said that this god of emotions is a new god who has only been canonized in the last thousand years. Therefore, some good places have long been occupied by those powerful ancient gods. In the end, the god of emotions only occupied a few counties.
It was very smooth to sneak into Valen City, and after casually asking someone, Lawrence and the others found the temple where the god of emotions was.
However, the temple shape of this god of emotions made Lawrence a little suspicious that those people just now saw that they were outsiders and deliberately deceived them.
"Lawrence, are you sure this isn't a big theater?" An Asian girl on the side looked puzzled.
"That's what you say."
Following Lawrence's gaze, he saw an unusually large circular building appear in front of everyone. Groups of people dressed in different costumes came in and out of the building. Bursts of laughter and cries rang out from time to time in the building.
casually catching a middle-aged uncle with a smile on his face, Lawrence asked unusually politely, "This uncle, is this the temple of the god of emotions?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" The middle-aged uncle said with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, it's okay, we just wanted to come and see the gods of emotions." Lawrence quickly explained.
The middle-aged uncle suddenly realized. "If you have any unhappiness about it, you can go to the Divine Descent Master inside. In addition, there is now a god descending master performing the Divine Delight Technique. ”
"Pleasing the gods? What the heck. Lawrence was skeptical.
"Just go in and see." A boy with short red hair urged.
"Okay." Lawrence nodded, and stepped into the Temple of Emotions first.
As soon as they entered the temple, several people's eyes lit up.
The entire temple of the god of emotions is actually built in the shape of a theater.
Tens of thousands of square meters of interior space are arranged in a fan-shape. In the middle of the fan is a huge stage. The stage is surrounded by rows of stepped seats.
At this time, tens of thousands of seats were full, and all of them were watching the performance on the stage intently.
Several actors on stage seem to be acting in something like a play. And with the performance of the people on the stage, the audience below burst into laughter for a while, and burst into tears for a while.
Lawrence and the others looked at the performance of the people on the stage with an embarrassed expression.
"What are those guys doing?" Lawrence complained frantically at this time.
From his professional point of view, several people on the stage had exaggerated acting skills and dull expressions. The plot has no connotation in it.
But it's such a performance, and the audience at the bottom is still fascinated by it.
"This is the Divine Pleasure Technique?" Lawrence was a little confused.
finally survived until the end of this farce, and Lawrence saw the direction of the group of actors leaving the stage and followed. If you want to find out what's going on, just ask.
"May I ask if you are the Divine Descent Master?" stopped a handsome man who had just played the leading role on the stage. Lawrence laughed all over his face.
The handsome man, who felt that he was being pulled by, immediately turned his head to look at Lawrence, and then a warm smile appeared on his face.
"What's the matter with you, little brother?"
Lawrence immediately pretended to be very reserved. "Master of the Divine Descent, this is the ......"
So Lawrence spoke out in a passionate voice according to the rhetoric taught by Bai Ming. The whole process is bitter, a handful of snot and tears. When he talked about those demons, his eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to pull out the bones of those demons.
The handsome man on the side seemed to be infected by Lawrence's emotions. One moment with tears, and one moment with hatred clenched into fists.
"What do you mean, little brother?"
Lawrence's eyes were full of hatred and anger at the moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to become a god descender, I want to subdue demons and eliminate demons!" ”
The handsome man, who had already been moved by Lawrence, immediately agreed without hesitation.
"Although I approve of you, becoming a god of emotions will have to pass the test."
Hearing the handsome man say this, Lawrence nodded repeatedly.
"We know."
The handsome man saw that Lawrence had no opinion, and went directly to the backstage with a few people.
In the backstage, except for a huge statue of the god of emotions, the rest are all costumes and props used in various performances.
After removing his makeup, the handsome man changed into a priest's uniform. I prepared the test content of Lawrence and a few others with a few others.
However, the content of the test made Lawrence and the others smile a little bitterly.
"As long as a few of you can make a few of us laugh or cry, you have passed our test. But let me tell you first, it's hard for a few of us to have mood changes. The handsome man stared at Lawrence and said slowly.
Lawrence pretended to be nervous and nodded.
So Lawrence told them an earthly joke.
Then in the stunned eyes of Lawrence, the few priests who had previously said that it was difficult to have mood changes leaned forward and backwards with laughter.
Lawrence had guessed that the laughter of people in this world was very low. But he didn't expect that the laughter of people in this world would be so low.
The rest of the people also took turns coming up, either telling jokes or being funny.
In short, several people quickly passed the test and officially became a god of emotions.
However, when they officially became gods, they found that this god of emotions was quite to their liking.
It turns out that in the beginning, the gods sought out vicarators in the human world just to deal with sorcerers. Therefore, they did not spare their divine power, and the strength of all the divine descending masters was extremely strong.
But as there are fewer and fewer wizards, the number of gods is increasing. Naturally, the gods felt the need to lend so much power to those mortals.
So they set the standard for giving divine power. One is the kind of divine descendant who kills wizards. The more you kill, the more power the gods bestow.
But as the number of shamans dwindled, the gods took a different approach. This kind of is simpler, as long as you have a way to make the gods happy, you can get divine powers.
The happier the gods, the more divine powers they will gain.
So a series of rituals to please the gods were invented by mortals who coveted the power of the gods.
Those gods were all well-known and powerful people before they became gods, and their hobbies were naturally easy to investigate.
The gods like beautiful women, so they offer them. The gods like strange treasures, so they offer them.
And this god of emotions has a penchant for fiddling with people's emotions. So if you want to please him, then his priests have to use all kinds of ways to make people feel all kinds of emotions.
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of their existing group of priests, drama is undoubtedly the best way to arouse the emotions of others.
However, in Lawrence's opinion, this group of priests is simply stupid. Whatever jokes, operas, horror movies on Earth, isn't it the treasure of reaping emotions when you move to this plane? The divine power is not here yet.
Naturally, this news also reached Bai Ming through the system's private chat.
Bai Ming was also stunned when he heard it.
Bai Ming finally knew why Lin Lei had to become a women's clothing boss when he fought before. It turns out that the god he was following was a pervert, and it was no wonder that his strength soared after a while.
This made Bai Ming wonder if it was true that in a certain TV series with spicy eyes on the earth, several girls fought through awkward dances.
What if they were really believers in this perverted god, that would make sense. It's kind of interesting to think about the Earth.
