On the half-height platform in front of the Temple of War, the priests, including Nena, fell into a state of sluggishness after the impact of the "spiritual storm", and there was an unspeakable silence.

Lucien put on a simple white robe, smiled and looked around, and said calmly to Nena: "Honorable High Priest, I wonder if the Dao can announce the result of the theological debate? ”

Nena's body trembled slightly, her eyes glanced at Lucien coldly, and then she said to Nobu and the other priests, "Do you agree with the Leviathan priest's suggestion?"

Norbu subconsciously wanted to object, but his mind was empty, and he couldn't find a single rebuttal, but instead appeared indescribable, supreme, and transcendent descriptions.

In a trance, his mouth went against his "will": "No, no opinion." ”

"Neither did I. The priest of the God of Love and Wisdom, who had lost the first round of debate, replied in a gloomy manner.

The rest of the priests struggled and hesitated for a moment, but also gave up their opposition to Lucian's suggestion, and the last to remain in the Solna Valley were three gods, and even if the gods of resurrection, fertility, and salvation were excluded, the gods they believed in were not hopeless.

Nena's eyes were half-drooping, hiding her emotions, and she said in a thin voice: "According to the oracle of the supreme lord of war, there will be three winners of this theological debate, and their sect can obtain the right to preach in the Solna Valley, and the three winning sects are ......"

Unwittingly, she applies the description of "supremacy" to the Lord of War.

The priests, such as Nobu and Borkan, held their breath and waited intently for Nena to announce the winner. On and off the stage, the atmosphere is extremely depressing, and it seems that if you take a breath, the beautiful result will be blown away by yourself.

“...... It is a sect of the God of Resurrection, Abundance, and Redemption. Nena's tone was calm and unwavering, and the priests and believers around him were neither surprised nor inhaled, but still suppressed and solemn, because this was an expected result, but "Leviathan" and Francis beside him were calm as usual, which made people vaguely believe in the god El.

The quality and reaction of the priests and missionaries of a denomination can indeed give a glimpse of whether the deities of the denomination are divine and great.

“...... Sect of the Luna. Nena spat out the word moon. Nobu fell to his knees in excitement. With a plank on his forehead, he muttered prayers and thanksgiving, "and the sect of the Lord of the Underworld." ”

Borkan, the priest of the Lord of the Underworld, shouted cheers and praises the Lord of the Underworld. Thanks to the Lord of War. And the priests of the gods of thunder and lightning, the god of wind and rain, and other gods turned pale. The body seemed to have lost its strength, and it swayed as soon as the wind blew.

Nena said coldly and cruelly: "Before the sun sets tomorrow, all the temples and temples outside these three sects must leave the Solna River Valley. Those who believe in Them must be converted, or they will be expelled from the valley!"

"This!" the priests and believers of the other gods looked at Nena with anger, they had thought that the expulsion of the river valley was a slow weakening of the foundation of their respective gods, but they did not expect it to be so intense.

The Solna Valley is rich and fertile, and most of the middle and low-level civilians here can fill their stomachs as long as they work hard, but once they leave here and are rejected by other rich places controlled by the Lord of War, they have to fight with beasts, monsters, "monsters" and so on every day to get a little food, so all the priests understand that as long as they are not fanatics, no one wants to follow their sect to migrate aimlessly, and after the struggle, they must change their faith.

But for the priests, there is no choice but to go one way to the end, and once they try to change their faith, the spiritual seed will devour the soul and body.

Nena was not afraid of the many angry and hateful eyes, her right hand was raised suddenly, and the soldiers immediately raised their swords, and in the crisp sound, a dense black iron forest was formed, emitting a cold and sharp light.

Witnessing such a uniform movement, remembering that Nena's strength was comparable to that of her own gods, and thinking of the city of Bethitam in Haikou, the high priests of the six sects bowed their heads gloomily and led their respective priests away from the half-height platform.

Without looking at them, Nena said to Lucian, Nobu, and Borkan, "Your mission in the Solna Valley must follow the laws enacted by the Temple of War, or you will be expelled from the valley as well. ”

After saying that, there was no celebration ceremony, and there were no "words of encouragement", she turned around and walked directly to the temple.

Looking at Nena's back, Francis secretly sent a message to Lucien, and said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that the high priest of the Lord of War already has the intention of killing us, or rather, the Lord of War has the intention of killing us, otherwise he would not be so lazy, hehe, our description just now raised the great Elgod too high......"

Speaking of such a serious matter, he didn't seem to care too much.

Lucien "struggled" to maintain his calm, revealing a little consternation that matched his identity, experience, and character: "What then?"

"Wait a minute, things are still changing. Francis motioned for Lucien to join El, Jacob, and Ann Hughes at the hotel where he was staying.

Lucien nodded solemnly, and secretly said in his heart, is he waiting for the gods of thunder and lightning, the god of wind and rain, the god of wisdom, the god of love, the god of the mother earth, and the priests of the sun god?

Walking down the half-height platform, the surrounding believers crowded up, their expressions full of longing, as if they were expecting salvation.

After hearing the "mouth cannon" of Lucien and Francis, they found that they were more willing to believe in the great "God of Resurrection, Abundance and Redemption" than the terrifying and bloody Afando, and enter the Paradise of eternal joy after death.

Seeing their expressions, Francis smiled, did not speak, and unabashedly observed Lucian's response.

Lucien said in a gentle voice: "The great God of El, who is merciful, who has not given up the fallen world full of suffering, is willing to use himself as a bridge to redeem you from the sea of suffering, and the great God of El, who is also supreme, is everywhere." As long as you repent in your hearts and do good deeds in your life that meet the requirements of the god El, then He will feel and hear. ”

"The great god El, who is not somewhere else, is in your hearts, and in this respect I am not nobler than you, but I am the forerunner of the teachings of El, and I will be your mentor and teach you how to 'see' him in your hearts. How to get salvation for the soul. I am not a priest. Rather, it is the preacher. ”

Lucien has always been a person with his own bottom line, and he can't do the thing of deceiving others to believe in gods and dedicate his family wealth, and he pretended to be a god and deceived the dwarves on the condition of saving them from the city, and exchanged them for being a "skilled worker". Therefore. Now when facing believers. They prefer to teach them with descriptions of seeking peace of mind and witnessing the "true self."

If Francis hadn't been around, Ann Hughes would have been watching. Lucien was interested in talking to them about the concepts of superego, ego, and id.

"Well, if you only talk about the true self, if you only talk about peace of mind, will you develop something similar to Buddhism?" Lucien thought to himself, a little ironically.

Hearing Lucian's words, these believers suddenly felt warm and peaceful in their hearts, and the corners of their eyes were slightly moist, and no priest of the gods had ever been willing to speak to them with such an equal and kind attitude, even when preaching, it was mostly intimidation and coercion, and supplemented by a miraculous display of power.

And Francis shook his head lightly amusedly, sure enough, he was a young man who had just entered the "Secret Prayer Society" and had his own ideas, but if such a young man did not have a set of his own ideas, he would suspect that the previous performance of the "Leviathan" was weird, and his talent must have corresponding performances and characteristics.

"Dear preceptaries, how can we pray, how can we see the great god Elr in our hearts?" asked one of the believers boldly.

Lucian's smile was warm and soothing: "The specific prayer will be told to you by Ann Hughes, the preacher of the ordination, and before praying, you must learn to let go of all the emotions of distress, joy, excitement and pain in your heart. ”

The specific words of the prayer will certainly have to be changed and adjusted as a result of this "theological debate."

"Let go of ......" The believers were thoughtful and confused.

"The easiest way to do this is to take a deep breath and exhale these emotions. Lucien gave a simple demonstration, "Come, follow me, inhale, silently say, 'Oh, how wonderful is life,' inhale again, silently say, 'Oh, how great is the god El,'......"

The time and place were not right, and Lucien was reluctant to "proselytize" more, so after a short exchange, he and Francis returned to the hotel in an ox cart to let Ann Hughes deal with the problems of the believers.

"The salvation of the soul is indeed the most important thing. As soon as the ox cart left the temple of war, Francis nodded approvingly, and then he smiled bitterly, "I thought that this theological debate would discuss the issues of human nature and divinity, co-existence and first entity, transcendental and transcendental, but I didn't expect that the whole thing would be a braggart contest, and it would make you hard." ”

"Thanks to your guidance, Mr. Francis. Lucien didn't dwell on this topic, but said "worriedly", "If the Lord of War intervenes, we won't be able to do anything about the other moon god Ashin." ”

Francis shook his head: "This is also an opportunity, you will find out in a moment." ”

As the ox cart approached the inn, a ball of papyrus flew in through the crack in the curtain, as fast as an arrow, and was about to hit Lucian.

At this moment, Francis moved slightly, and his right hand easily grasped the paper ball as if it had been waiting there for a long time.

"At least high-level strength ......," Lucien narrowed slightly.

There was a soft "huh" from the street outside, and then the crowd blended in.

Francis didn't seem to be worried about the problem with the paper ball, and quickly unfolded, and after reading it, he laughed and said, "Here's the opportunity." ”

Lucien took a look at it, and it read: "Nena, the High Priest of the Lord of War, has ordered that the Moon God and the Lord of the Underworld come to attack you tonight, in order to draw out the great God El, and whoever of our six sects has the most merit in this battle will get the place left by you, but my Lord thinks that the Lord of War is capricious, fierce and domineering, and is willing to cooperate with the God of 'Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption', if the God of El agrees, we will meet in the middle of the river outside the city in the early morning." ”

At the end of the day is the mark of the sun.

"Cooperation, or conspiracy?" Lucien asked, "excited and confused."

Francis spread his hands: "How do I know what to do, okay, let's go into the room and talk." "The bullock cart has stopped in front of the hotel.

Stepping into the room, Lucien suddenly saw El, dressed in a white robe, standing by the window, as majestic as a mountain, majestic and majestic, more noble and powerful than he had seen before.

In the midst of doubt, El turned around, the flame in his eyes had completely disappeared, his pupils were as deep as death, and he smiled freely: "Until today, after listening to your debates and descriptions, I realized that the past me was not the real me, and I completely awakened from the obscurantist chaos. ”

Yes...... Both Lucien and Francis were a little stunned. (To be continued......)
