Chapter 226: The Ignorant Apostle
"The truth is that you can only cut a spring goddess, and then the state ...... Or that your rule will be temporarily weakened, because the 'power' that sustains your ruling country has been drained by the Heavenly Power Sword through supernatural means.
If you dare to kill the second goddess of springwater, it is estimated that the remaining strength will be completely exhausted, the rule of the country will collapse, and all kinds of problems will arise at the same time, and you may be able to see the spectacle of a dozen kings (self-proclaimed) and hundreds of rebel armies attacking each other on the territory of a country.
Or maybe the people lose confidence in the rulers because huge cases of corruption are suddenly exposed, or maybe the logistics department pushes the army against a very powerful frontier army by prevaricating the army with low-quality food, so they rebel and open the border to the enemy army. All in all, it's very dangerous.
It's the same nowβjust now you used the Heavenly Power Sword to slash with all your strength for nearly two seconds, which is enough time to kill an enemy in a normal battle. Fortunately, the first few times you relied on the harvest and the creation of spring water to pretend to be a ghost, you have caused the people of your territory to fall into a frenzy, and greatly increased your luck for consumption in a short period of time, otherwise your current moment would have been enough to slow down the development of your territory. β
This doesn't seem like alarmism, Luo Ming pondered for a moment, and decided that it would be better not to try a second time in a short time.
When it comes to luck and luck, these mysterious and strange things in the dark, it is better to be as careful as possible.
Anyway, his experiment just now has already explained a lot of problems - in a real battle, with today's Tianquan Sword Soul, he can definitely cut through the Dou Qi shield of an ordinary swordsman with one blow, after all, no one on the battlefield will use all his Dou Qi on one arm like Luo Ming just now, forming a key defense that is several times stronger than ordinary people.
This is enough power to kill a swordsman in a one-on-one battle, and it is completely enough to change the local battle situation, although it can only be used for a moment, but it is really terrifying.
Having said that, his current comprehensive strength has reached crimson...... Luo Ming thought for a while, and then understood that this was indeed the case.
Not to mention that the combat power of the three swordsmen can completely push a barony, and the barony of Miana is now also under his regent, and those knights have also become a lot of respect for him - a swordsman can crush a knight's leader, plus the decent elite soldiers that have been trained in less than a month, it is really difficult not to make them feel fear.
It can be said that as long as he is willing to bear a little notoriety, then it is not difficult to usurp Charlotte's throne - the excuse is easy to make up, and even force Charlotte herself to admit the fact, but the discerning person can always see the truth.
Although Luo Ming will not definitely choose to give up his temperance in exchange for actual benefits, he will never need to give up his temperance so much for a mere barony.
In a short time, you can go ahead and explore - as long as you can get a foothold, you can stake your own land. Then the Grand Duke or Princess will recognize her elevation to the title, and Charlotte will be the rightful brother.
Thinking of this, Luo Ming laughed out loud - wishing to be someone else's brother or simply a teacher was one of his little fetishes, although he himself didn't quite know where he got this strange fetish.
However, this habit has the advantage of forcing him to behave in the style of a brother or even a teacher - calm, protective of shortcomings, and affinity.
"I think it's probably because of your two masters, in the memories I know of you, those two are really dragons among men, and they belong to strange people that even I can't guess.
Their appearance is like a young man because of their profound health skills, but they really have the demeanor of an elder that is difficult to compare with ordinary people, and you must think that you regard those two as idols and great men, and hope to get closer to them. β
Aya said lightly, making Luo Ming thoughtful.
However, his thoughtful state did not last long, partly because it was useless to think about it, and there were still many things for him to think about now, and partly because he suddenly thought of another thing.
"When you think of idols, you think of idolatry, and when you think of idolatry, you think of faith...... By the way, don't you and Your Highness Black Sun care? I've been an apostle for more than half a year, and I haven't done a single prayer or anything. β
Luo Ming's voice was a little embarrassed: "Although there is a saying that something is urgent, but now this is my private territory, and no one will stare at me for the time being to see which god I am praying to, or tell me a little? β
Boom, there should be a thunderous sound effect here, and Aya did feel the embarrassment of being struck by lightning.
Aya and Luo Ming as partners, naturally spent half a year, she actually forgot about this matter completely, although this matter is not very important, but a divine envoy knows almost nothing about his own gods, even if it is out of secrecy, it will make people feel strange.
She coughed dryly twice, and then said, "Actually, it's quite disrespectful for you to ask this matter, but Your Highness doesn't care much about those subsections in the first place.
Let me ask you first, what do you think about faith?"
"You see, as an apostle, I have a great commission, and I'm on a different position than ordinary believers, right?
If I am wrong, please be magnanimous with Your Highness, and forgive me as an ignorant man from an atheistic country. Luo Ming said.
"No problem. Aya waved her hand very calmly (although Luo Ming couldn't see it), "Just say it as you like, I'll point out the mistakes." β
"The difference between an apostle and an ordinary believer is like the difference between a high-ranking official and an ordinary person, who knows the secrets of many countries, how much has been lost here this year, how much has been made there, and how much has been paid for something...... And the common people only know that 'our country is strong and prosperous', and it is good to cheer for every victory.
In particular, an apostle like me, who had become a monk halfway, although his gratitude and loyalty to His Highness were not false, it was impossible for me to reach that state of blind and fanatical faith under any circumstances.
Moreover, the religious outlook of the people of the Celestial Empire was originally very distinctive: the relationship between man and God was similar to the relationship between mortal people and officials, and people offered faith, incense and money as bribes or transactions, and God would give corresponding blessings.
This may be a more realistic point of view. β
Listening to Luo Ming's words, Aya couldn't help laughing.
