The "grassroots" intelligence investigation was over, and in order to avoid more trouble, or to avoid bin Rachel being idle and nosy, Punk decisively left the increasingly deserted town in the middle of the night, as for the old man and the little girl...... After leaving a lot of food behind, he pointed out that a prophecy spell provided a "safe route" was the punk way to deal with it, and Ben Rachel didn't have a better idea anyway.

After finally solving the trouble caused by the inexplicable cause, Punk dragged Ben Rachel, who was still thinking about the little girl, and ran to the field and began to seriously sort out the information about the Maple Leaf Kingdom.

To summarize succinctly, the current situation in the Maple Leaf Kingdom is actually quite clear:

As a strong protector of the country, Jonny Zodas is bent on waging war against the Dragonroar Kingdom, and refuses to give up even if he loses money and never wins.

And for the poor and nobles of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, the master paladin General Jonny decided to go to war, even if they were not satisfied, who would dare to say a word? In the case of the impossibility of protest, the royal family can only further increase taxes, and the army can only force young and middle-aged laborers to enlist as soldiers more frequently, and the nobles will take advantage of this war to step up the exploitation of the poor, and the whole country will have to pay for the persistence of Jonny Zodas.

In the end, all the oppression and exploitation were finally carried on the ordinary poor, and more than a hundred years passed, a large number of laborers stood on the battlefield, and the overwhelmed poor began to appear on a large scale of "negative version of no violence and non-cooperation", coupled with the aristocracy did not have the slightest intention of reining in exploitation, the Maple Leaf Kingdom naturally appeared as a "slum" town like the punk past.

To be honest, Punk feels that Jonny Zodas has "died" more than a hundred times in this country, and the Maple Leaf Kingdom can really be considered very strong if it can survive until today without collapsing, and it is estimated that the Maple Leaf Kingdom can survive until now I am afraid that it will be due to the relief of the kind and rich people of the Dragon Roar Kingdom.

In the face of the current situation of poverty and famine in the Maple Leaf Kingdom, Punk feels indifferent, whether this Maple Leaf Kingdom is prosperous or dying, it is an insignificant thing to him, and the only thing Punk cares about along the way is the fact that "Jonny Zodas has a stubborn and likes to drill the horns" analyzed from this information.

Ben Rachel, however, had great doubts about these conditions:

"Although it is common for brainless master-level powerhouses to be common, it is normal for those priests with sick brains to drill the tip of the bull's horn for hundreds of years at every turn............ But doesn't the Church of the Righteous God just let this brainless paladin stubbornly mess around?

Ben Rachel muttered doubts along the way, but more often than not, he was just talking to himself, about the various "stupid" actions of many gods and churches has always been a question that many powerful people who are not legendary have been puzzled by, and Ben Rachel complained and didn't expect Punk to know the answer.

Unlike Ben Rachel's rambling complaints, the punk just went on his way without saying a word. Actually, Punk really knows the reason for Ben Rachel's problem.

Punk's cheap parents are all strong people who have almost come into contact with the legendary realm, and the information they have collected about the gods is still very rich, so for example, this "secret of the gods" that is not a secret in the legendary circle, punk knows no less than the average legendary powerhouse.

Many people are very strange, obviously many gods have a wide range of knowledge, and wisdom can be called wise, why do they have to engage in all the rules and regulations that hinder development in the church, is it really because they are old-fashioned and do not know how to change?

In fact, many people have entered into a mistake, and that is that the gods like the power of hope, and they all want the more believers as possible, and the stronger the church, the better.

But what's the real answer?

Do the gods have to work hard to develop the church? No, the fact is quite the opposite, the vast majority of gods are racking their brains to hinder the expansion and power of their followers in a roundabout way!

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary mages, the gods are loyal servants who belong to the priesthood alone, and they are very dedicated and dedicated to performing their duties every day, and at the same time, they are extremely rigid and stupid.

But in fact, although it is theoretically impossible for the gods to resist the enslavement of the priesthood and there is no example of success in resisting, it does not mean that they have given up resisting, the extreme enslavement of the priesthood and the devouring of the gods' emotions and reason are acceptable to no gods, no matter how slim the chance, no matter how inefficient the resistance is, it is impossible for any god to be willing to slowly become the puppet of the priesthood, so those gods who have not yet been wiped out of their self-consciousness are actually racking their brains in secret- Even if the usefulness of these struggles is very limited.

Confrontation head-on is obviously an act of seeking death, so many gods have chosen a roundabout way, and in the case of little hope, the most basic means of resistance is of course delay, and reducing the speed at which the priesthood devours their will as quickly as possible is the top priority of almost all gods.

As for the way to delay the priesthood, it is actually very simple - self-harm!

The power of faith is the foundation of the gods' survival and the only way to maintain and promote their power, but the power of faith is also the energy and motivation of the priesthood, and it is the best accelerant to drive the priesthood to devour the will of the gods.

It is precisely because of this situation that many gods do not concentrate too much on developing their own churches, and even many ancient gods would rather let themselves live a hungry meal than develop believers, because the more prosperous the church, the stronger the priesthood of a god, and the faster it will devour the consciousness of this god!

A church as prosperous as the Lord of the Dawn does not prove the strength of the gods, it only proves that the once cheerful and powerful man named Losanda has become a miserable, wise puppet of the priesthood.

In this case, in order to ensure the existence of the "self", many gods who have been gods for a long time often do not hesitate to make their teachings harsh in order to raise the threshold of believers; send gifted believers to carry out dangerous tasks to ensure the weakening of their own churches, and there is also loosening the organization of the church, allowing tumors to grow, and even launching various meaningless internal frictions............ The goal is to keep their church in a state where it can barely survive and not die, but it also never wants to grow greatly.

Perhaps this act of self-destruction will make the gods' situation very dangerous, will make their promotion far away, and will make them have to save every bit of divine power as much as possible............ But at least this allows a god to keep his or her own "life" for tens of thousands of years.

This is also the reason why there are no such children and saints in the church who are the most gifted in the church, who often perform the most dangerous and even mortal tasks - because the gods cannot tolerate the excellence and piety of these believers, and it is very necessary to get rid of them as soon as possible "reasonably"!

Don't think that the gods of the good camp are all really good, unless the self-consciousness has been exhausted, otherwise the good ones will always be just priests and not gods!

It is precisely because these seemingly ignorant actions of the gods are not understood by people who are not at a high enough level, so many people will think that the gods are old-fashioned guys with dead brains, in fact, they are really more shrewd, and maybe who is better than whom?
