Faust withdrew his latent psionic energy and pinched the bridge of his nose.

His heart was still trembling, and the power of God was awe-inspiring, not only in its power, but also in its essence, and Faust's understanding of it was crude and superficial—but one day he would understand, he would attain, he would transcend.

However, he still got a satisfying harvest - although Faust was not yet able to perform divine magic, he gained a trait that could only be obtained when a priest was inaugurated: channeling energy.

Faust's identity is that of Regba's apostle,

Thus, his attributes become:

Name: Faust

Ethnicity: Aventus

Faith: Demigod Legba

Faction: Order and Evil

Class: Psychiocrat

Level: 2

Attribute:

Strength: 13

Dexterity: 12

Constitution: 15

Intelligence: 17

Perception: 12

Charm: 13

Characteristic:

Children of Water and Atmosphere: The Aventus are the darlings of water and atmosphere, and can travel freely between the two worlds, increasing the effects of their abilities involving water and wind.

Meningeal Resonance: You know the brain so well that when you use this ability, the brains of all creatures within ten feet experience a strong concussion.

Psionic Words: Powerful psionic entities permanently alter your speech centers, allowing you to understand and speak all the languages of the multiverse that don't have much power—if your vocal organs support it.

Channeling Negative Energy: Any pastor can release waves of energy that originate from faith. This energy can be used to heal or inflict damage, depending on the type of energy and the target species. Among them, the Evil Priest channels negative energy, which is used to deal damage or heal the undead.

The caster class will almost certainly get a trait when it is inaugurated, Psychic Warlock is a meningeal concussion, Priest is channeling energy, and Mage is an arcane link.

All three characteristics can be improved with the improvement of professional ability, which is a very practical ability, and Faust is naturally very satisfied with this harvest.

As for the type of energy that Faust channeled, he acquired this trait through "unconventional" means, and the channeled energy only depended on his own camp - the orderly evil camp could of course only choose negative energy.

The same goes for the old toad Hama, the type of energy he channels also depends on his own faction.

Because, according to the doctrine written by Faust, Regba's future direction is probably the god of luck, the patron saint of gamblers and other chaotic priesthoods, which does not involve the distinction between good and evil, and his priest can be any of the chaos good, chaos neutrality, and chaos evil.

If you are a pastor of a good god, you can only choose to channel positive energy.

Seeing the white light that symbolized positive energy gradually appeared on the old toad's body, Faust pursed his lips, it seems that the old toad is in the chaotic and good camp, completely opposite to himself, no wonder how he looks at him unpleasantly.

The old toad Hama slowly opened his eyes, the white light in his eyes flashed, he supported the ground with his hands, and stood up with a little difficulty—it was a miracle for his age that he could stand up after kneeling for half the night.

"Dear Apostle, thank you for guiding me to such great teachings, and may you make the right choice until the end of your destiny. Hama's voice became so calm, it was like a toad from the excited Hama before.

"Blessed are you, Brother Hama, and may you always see something new. Faust pulled out a twenty-sided dice, "This is a sacred relic of Lord Legba, may it guide your faith." ”

Faust handed the pamphlet to Hama, "This is the inspiration I have received from the god Legba, take it with you." ”

Before the old toad Hama could excuse himself, Faust said, "You need not excuse yourself, for I cannot speak your language and spread the gospel of the god Legba among your people." You need this more than I do, all for the cause of God Legba. ”

The old toad also replied solemnly: "All for the cause of God Legba." ”

Faust smiled, "Well, then, it's getting late, so rest first, Brother Hama." ”

Declining the invitation of the old toad Hama to sleep, Faust left the library and walked to Kuazza's house, he did not want to share a room with the old Toad Hama, who had spare rooms - not forgetting to bring a bilingual dictionary, of course.

Faust pushed open the courtyard door and saw Kuaza sitting in the middle of the courtyard, apparently waiting for Faust.

Faust smiled and raised the dictionary in his hand at him.

Kuaza understood, nodded, and beckoned Faust into the house. When the two entered the house, Kuaza took out a large green leaf and a black jar with a feather stuck in it, presumably ink and a pen.

Faust already knew some words, and he took up his pen and wrote on the blade, "I can understand, you say I write." Faust naturally understands toad language, which means that he understands grammar and idioms, and writes complete sentences rather than simple piles of words.

Kuaza is a pragmatic toad, and he doesn't pursue the question of how Faust learns toad language in half a day. Faust said he could speak, and he opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" his tone was a little stern, but Faust's tentacles of his quietly open heart felt a sense of jealousy—it seemed that the sight of Aventenus was shaking him a lot.

Faust could not write much, so he wrote a brief and straightforward answer, "We are Aventus, and our old land has been invaded and we have migrated through here." ”

Kuaza pondered for a moment and asked, "Your enemy...... Will it chase him?" he was afraid, but it was a matter of course—with a backer as strong as Aventnu, he was still forced to move, a force that the toads could not match.

Faust wrote his answer, "No." ”

Kuaza secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Faust would not notice, but he did not know that his emotions were almost completely transparent in front of Faust, and Faust could clearly feel his relaxation.

Kuaza didn't believe Faust's words for nothing, purely because Faust had no need to deceive him in this matter - and if Faust's answer was "yes", he couldn't even run with the strength of the Toad tribe. So, subconsciously, he is more willing to believe in the good news.

Now that the question of life and death has been settled, it is time to satisfy his little curiosity, Kuaza thought, "that ...... Pillars of Light and Sacred Trees...... What happened?"

Kuazza's limited knowledge was not enough to describe the question, but Faust knew what he wanted to ask. Faust wrote: "The white light is our Aventu ...... God. There is no word for "god" in the language of the Toad People, Faust uses a word that specifically refers to the sacred tree.

Kuaza nodded in understanding, although he lacked knowledge, he was not mentally retarded, and the totems worshipped by other races were different from his own, and they were still within the scope of his acceptance.

Faust saw that Kuaza seemed to have no problem, and continued: "Don't you wonder what kind of revelation I have received from the sacred tree?"

"Apocalypse?" Kuaza glanced at Faust, and the irony almost overflowed, even if Faust didn't understand the toad man's expression, he could see what he meant.

Faust saw that Kuaza was not interested, and he extinguished his desire to preach to him—a man who has been knocked out by a slap in the face is doomed to lack prestige in front of you, and a person who lacks authority is always difficult to convince others.

Faust continued: "Do you think the villagers will be able to accept the revelation of the sacred tree?"

Kuazza didn't answer, he turned around, pointed to a door on the left side of the hall and said, "That's your room, it's not early, rest." Then he walked into the room opposite Faust and slammed the door shut.

Faust smiled as he watched Kuazza slam the door and leave, but Kuazza did not answer the question, in other words, he did not directly refuse Faust's request to preach to the villagers.

"The kingdom of the Lord is near!"

Faust was awakened by the commotion outside the house, which he heard was the voice of the old toad Hama, and although he had begun his mission early in the morning, it was always unpleasant to disturb dreams.

Faust put on his clothes, pushed open the window, and poked his head out, only to see the old toad standing in the middle of the only avenue in the village, with his back to the sacred tree, closer to the residential area of the village than the library and Kuaza's house, and Faust could only see his back.

He was still dressed as the strange-looking witch doctor of yesterday, and he carried a box and placed it in the middle of the road, and stood on it, and preached Faust's teachings in a pamphlet. The inhabitants of his front came and went, each going about their own business, but occasionally a few toads stopped to listen to his teachings.

Faust looked at it for a moment, found it boring, and retracted his head from the window. He doesn't need to look at the old toad to preach, and the task panel shows the progress of his mission in real time.

At this point, there is still only one task on the quest panel, "Quest: Legba Church: Establish Doctrine and Develop 100 Followers (2/100)." ”

Faust himself was not included in these hundred believers, that is to say, the fruit of the old toad's early morning preaching was only one person.

"The spirit is commendable, but the level is not high. Faust came to a conclusion, and then he left the old toad in his missionary work—this is not something that can be done overnight, and there is no need to be anxious about it.

When Faust had finished washing, he saw Kuazza sitting in the front yard, so he took out the leaves and ink he had brought with him, and wrote: "Good morning, Lord Kuaza. ”

Kuaza did not respond to Faust's greeting directly, he raised his hand and pointed at the old toad Hama who was preaching outside, "That is the revelation you spoke of yesterday?"

Faust smiled and nodded, and wrote, "That's right, after meeting the Hama brothers yesterday, I taught him the revelation of the gods. ”

"It's complete nonsense. Kuaza said coldly, "This is a misinterpretation of the sacred tree. I often communicate with the sacred tree, and the truth is completely different from what Hama said. ”

Faust no longer writes, just smiles.

Seeing that Faust didn't react, Kuaza couldn't help but be furious, but after thinking about the strength shown by Aventenu yesterday, he just snorted coldly, "You can toss whatever you want." With that, he left sullenly.

Faust hurriedly took two steps forward, leaned against the door and looked in the direction of his departure, seeing that he didn't look like he had gone to the divine tree to verify, and his heart slowly fell to the ground.

The biggest flaw in Faust's statement is that Legba cannot take over the sacred tree for a long time, and if Kuaza goes to inquire about the sacred tree, and it happens that Regba is not in control, Faust's mission will undoubtedly fail.

In fact, Faust did not know about the situation of the sacred tree, so he had this kind of worry. When the Sacred Tree is not controlled, it only possesses a fairly primitive intelligence, not much higher than the Golem, and only occasionally communicates with Kuaza when it is taken over by Legba.

Faust silently recalled Kuaza's words, and couldn't help but smile, primitive people are primitive people in the end, they don't know the power of religion at all, and when you regret it, everything is irreparable.

Faust straightened his collar and walked to the library. Faust plans to give himself a vacation, and his schedule for the holiday is as follows: go to the library to read a book.

The Toad Man's collection of books is surprisingly rich, and Faust will not miss such a great opportunity, and it almost certainly does not overlap with any of the libraries in the Old World.

Faust didn't walk a few steps to the library, the door of the library was hidden, and it was clear that the old toad had no habit of locking the door - there was nothing to steal in the library, and the toad people did not understand the value of these books at all, for them these were pure waste paper, and the fire was too much smoke and dust.

Faust didn't choose a book in the first place, but took the lead in opening the dictionary and looking up the title word by word—Faust didn't want to read a book with a narrow purpose like "Analysis of Toad Man's Food Culture" on a shelf.

But Faust soon realizes that he is doing useless work—the Toad People have no knowledge of library science or bibliography, and all they do is arrange books that look about the same size together, with only a few well-read botanical and medical works within easy reach.

In this case, there is only one translation of the title of the book, Faust raised his head and looked around, the reading room had eight huge bookshelves, each divided into five floors, all of which were full. It would take an estimated morning to translate them all.

But it's better than picking a book like a headless fly—Faust didn't really come here to pass the time.

In the midst of his busyness, time always passes quickly, and it was already a few hours before Faust finished checking the last title.

Faust stood up, moved for a moment from the stiffness of his back and legs from a long squat, and then walked to the window, and looked at the position of the sun—there were no timekeepers in the Toad Man's village, and Faust could only judge the time by this—and it was almost noon as he had expected.

It was not a fruitless morning, at least Faust knew a lot more words, and ...... Faust looked at the three books he had at hand, and found one worth reading.

These three books are "Elementary Psionic Power", "Chronology of Empires", and "Illustrated Book of Animals and Plants".

Needless to say, Faust was a psychic manipulator, and psionic books naturally piqued his interest the most, and the Illustrated Book of Animals and Plants was also normal - Faust was in the depths of the rainforest, and God knows how many poisonous insects and plants there were, which was a matter of survival.

The Chronology of Empires was actually an unexpected surprise that Faust discovered when he was looking for a book. He had long been suspicious of the progress of the Toad people's civilization - how could a civilization with both productive forces and social institutions at the end of the Neolithic period keep so many books in one village?

You know, this village of two or three hundred people has a collection of books comparable to that of a town with one or two thousand inhabitants in the old world, which is obviously unreasonable.

Toad people should have an interesting history, and this imperial chronology will give it the answer, Faust thought.

Just as Faust opened the book to read, Hama, the old toad man, walked through the door. Faust did not close the door to the reading room, but the old toad was not in the mood to even glance inside, and went straight to his room.

Faust's heart moved, put down the book in his hand, walked forward quickly, and patted the old toad man on the shoulder, "Brother Hama, why are you so sad?"

At this moment, Hama did not have the same radiance as when he first became a priest, and became more depressed and decadent than Faust first saw him, "I am ashamed of the trust I have in the god Legba...... I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convey the truth of God Legba to my fellow citizens, and I am not worthy to be a priest of God......"

This kind of remark does not bode well, you must know that the faith of the old toad Hama has just been established last night, and he is already very fragile, and he depends on the help of Faust to become a priest, and if his faith is shaken, even if God himself comes, he will no longer be able to give him divine magic, and his mission plan will also be affected.

Faust hurriedly comforted him and said: "Brother Hama, don't be anxious, don't be disappointed, everything in the world comes from the double choice of fate and ourselves, we can't change the choice of fate, but we can change ourselves." ”

Faust dragged the old toad to the window, pointed to the village, and said, "These villagers are not as wise as you, and they have no way of understanding God's teachings." ”

He put his hands on the shoulders of the old toad Hama, "Brother Hama, it is their own loss that they disdain the truth preached by Legba, but you must not do so. Your countrymen will abandon you, but the truth will not—besides, you will lose your faith, and you will lose the glory of Legba......"

Faust glanced at Hama meaningfully, not speaking so clearly, but he believed that Hama understood what he meant, and that if he lost his faith, he would lose his magic.

Hama nodded hurriedly and said, "My faith in God is as strong as a towering mountain, and it will never be shaken by a momentary setback. But...... But it was true that the mission was not very effective. ”

Faust even coaxed and frightened the old toad's military heart, and his own heart was also a big stone to the ground, and began to teach the old toad some preaching truths.

"Brother Hama, the matter of mission, do not rush for a while, you know, we can not give anything to God Legba, not the truth to the believers, but the believers to God to seek the truth, you don't have to be so anxious. ”

"If your dedication to God is so urgent, I have a trick to tell you. Faust pretended to be mysterious.

"Make it clear, honorable apostle. The old toad bowed slightly and prayed to Faust.
