Chapter 63: The First Inter-World Religious Contact

It's not going to happen.

Any living being, as long as it has faith in a certain existence, will naturally have the power of faith, whether it is an intelligent creature or not, whether it has a soul or not, even if it is just a lower animal or a program, as long as its will reaches the level of understanding what faith is, it will definitely produce the power of faith, which should be the common law of all worlds in the warped void. Regardless of whether the belief is in gods or mortal things, or even whether the things of faith exist or not, the power of faith will definitely happen, the difference is only whether it can be accepted and absorbed.

However, Shuer has deliberately felt it just now, and some of these people's belief in the so-called Supreme Mastermind is indeed true, and it stands to reason that the power of faith will inevitably be generated, and it will automatically condense towards the position of the Supreme Mastermind, so that Shull can follow the flow of the power of faith and confirm the position of the Supreme Mastermind without alarming the other party.

However, the truth is unexpected, the beliefs of these people did not produce a trace of the power of faith, as if their beliefs were all fake, not only ordinary believers, but even the two executive centers of the high-level priesthood at a glance did not have the power of faith.

Shuer really can't understand why this is happening, theoretically speaking, this will only happen if their belief is absolutely false, otherwise, even if they only believe in the existence of the supreme mastermind a little, they will definitely produce the power of faith, maybe so weak that most people can't distinguish it, but Shuer, as a high-ranking priest, can definitely tell it.

However, it is impossible for each of the twenty-odd people to be absolutely false in their beliefs, and it is strange that Shur can tell from the experience of the priesthood that these people are not hypocrites.

Could it be that I really misread them?" Shur looked thoughtfully at the two metal humanoid faces in front of him, and finally sighed secretly, hiding his doubts in his heart.

"In the name of the Supreme Mastermind. The metal eyes of the male humanoid Massimilian suddenly lit up, because he saw that Shul was facing away from the others, at an angle that only the two of them could see, writing quickly on his chest with his shiny fingers, the font was small, and the glimmer on the words disappeared quickly, but the mechanical brain of the metal humanoid easily recorded the words, and under the effect of the power of integration, it was easy to understand these unseen words. In an instant, he understood Shure's meaning, and Maximi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and read according to the text, "Praise the Lord of the Dark Moon, praise the Moon without Light, and may the Moon without Light hang in the sky forever." ”

"Holy. With a holy smile and a circle of fingers on his chest, Shur concluded the liturgy of meeting among the clergy, "I am Shul Wright from Parvatiga, a servant of the Goddess of the Dark Moon, and I am honored to meet two colleagues in a different world far from home. I just heard the sincere invitation of the two of you, and now that I am here, I wonder if you two have anything to discuss?"

"Mr. Sauer. Maximillan looked around, "The others ......"

Shure didn't answer, just kept a mysterious smile.

"Yes, I see. Maximillan smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's better to be cautious, then, let's go to the Tower of Babel and talk about it in detail?"

"Hmm, if you two are not in a hurry, can you fulfill one of my rash requests? Shur pointed to the pilgrims, "We are very interested in the customs of the other world, can we allow us to follow behind and watch them go through this pilgrimage?"

"All?"

"If possible. Shuer bowed slightly apologetically, "Of course, if it's really inconvenient, we won't force it, after all, this is your secret matter." ”

"No, nothing. The two metal figures came together, this time they politely did not communicate with the wire, but chose to talk in a low voice, Shul consciously took a few steps back to show politeness, as for whether a female swordsman with amazing hearing will overhear, who knows. After a few brief words of discussion, the female figure Jessica stepped forward and said, "We don't mind a few guests visiting our pilgrimage, but we also hope that Mr. Scheull will agree to our ......"

"Finger the void and swear in the name of my lord. Needless to say, Shur pressed his hand to the holy text and took the initiative to say, "We will never reveal what we have seen and heard to the creatures of this world. ”

"Thank you. The two metal figures were not suspicious, Jessica turned to signal the guide to continue the ceremony, while Maximilian stepped forward, lowered her voice and repeated, "Thank you." ”

"Heh, we've also experienced the awkwardness and overwhelm of our first cross-world communication. Of course, Shure knew that the other party was thanking them for the hint just now, so that they would not show their ignorance in front of the human cultists, after all, this would have a very serious impact on a church, even if it was just a church of false gods.

"You have just come down from the Sky City, and I am afraid that you have misunderstood us. Jessica walked ahead with a dozen or so pilgrims who had been frank with each other, and the target was still not the Tower of Babel, but another building next to it, and Massiman accompanied Shure, explaining in a low voice, "But I must say that many things are not as they say. ”

"Of course I understand. Shul chuckled and said, "Different positions, different angles of looking at the problem, since you are independent individuals, not a unified single thinking life, then you are actually no different from the above forms of human civilization, at most the way of existence is different." We have seen a lot of similar situations in the past few decades, and we will not easily draw conclusions. ”

"I'm glad you understand, actually, we're in a difficult situation. "If possible, we'd love to let civilization go in the other direction, not like it's like keeping a domestic animal in captivity." ”

"Oh?" Shure asked, narrowing his eyes and curious, "what do you want to go?"

"Win-win. ”

"Oh, I like this word, this has always been my goal, many times, in fact, each force a little restraint of their own desires and desires, can make all parties achieve a win-win situation, but most people just want to occupy a little more interests. So, what do you imagine a win-win situation to look like?"

"Mr. Shure, please see, this step is bathing in divine light, which is actually a radiographic scan. "The pilgrims in front of them are lining up and passing through a strange door in turn, most of them have passed through smoothly, occasionally a person will be pulled out alone after passing through, and handed over to a few strange metal golems to observe alone, but after the observation is over, they are still classified into the passing team," This step is mainly to prevent some people with special identities from carrying some special dangerous goods into the Supreme Tower, after all, some unpleasant things have happened before, I think...... Mr. Scheuer should know. ”

"Well, Delia's parents, of course I know, although I won't let them out, but don't worry, they've been there, well, they've been listening. ”

"Thank you, then this way, please. The team had already begun to move, and Maximan led Shul to follow, "Our ideal win-win world is a symbiosis between two races, humans and machines, in the true sense of the word. ”
