Chapter 265: Deep Blue

"It's rare to have time to ask you a few things. Luo Ming suddenly said in his head.

"Oh, are you asking about Her Highness, the goddess of cleanliness?"

In the space of the heart, a white and bright temple appeared, and Aya changed into a white robe similar to that of an ancient Greek goddess, and wore a golden crown inlaid with amber on her head, sitting on the throne - but on the table next to the throne, a glass of Dr. Pepper soda betrayed her essence deeply.

Luo Ming didn't say anything, but directly conjured a can of herbal tea in his hand, and walked towards her while looking at her cup of soda and smiling.

"Well, you've won. Aya laughed twice, then jumped directly from the throne, picked up the soda and walked towards Luo Ming, "If there is anything, you can just ask, your authority is almost as high as mine, except for a few things that you have to keep secret temporarily due to your mortality, the rest of what I know can be told to you." ”

"It's not about the 'Goddess of Cleansing', it's about the very common knowledge of the demigods, so it shouldn't be too much of a secret, right?"

"Ah, that's not a secret, I'll say what I want to hear, what do you want to hear?"

Luo Ming pondered his words for a moment, and then asked, "For a demigod, how many priests do you need at least, how many believers, and how many priests and believers do you have on average?"

"Well......" Aya closed her eyes and pondered for a moment.

It was really a long time, and it was the first time Luo Ming had waited so long.

A strange sight appeared before his eyes: a dark-haired girl in a thin dress dived beneath the dark waters, and the girl passed through the corridors and entered a library sunk under the sea.

Some of the books were broken, some were rotten, and some were left with only one page in the water, but there were also a variety of texts from different eras that were still preserved, and the girl swam to a bookshelf and looked through them one by one.

Then, the girl stuffed the books back into the shelves, smiled with satisfaction, and turned her head thoughtfully upwards, as if to meet Luo Ming's eyes—the eyes that were faintly purple in the deep blue, made Luo Ming break out in a cold sweat.

Almost at the same time, Aya opened her eyes—Luo Ming looked over as if in a dream, and reconfirmed that her eyes were nothing more than brilliant gold, and that there were some subtle differences in the faces of the two girls.

(Is it a hallucination?delusion?or is it some kind of distorted portentment of reality?)

Before Aya could speak, Luo Ming simply asked the question.

"What are you talking about? No kidding...... Wait, I'd better report to His Highness the Black Sun. Aya directly picked the child and handed over the power of judgment to the powerful boss. 、

It didn't take long for her to receive a reply, with a complicated expression: "Here is a paraphrase of His Highness: There is no need to worry, there is no need to remember, the gods and those associated with the gods, and those who come from outside the world like you, will have a different perception of time and space than mortals.

It is not surprising to see the occasional glimpse into the past or the future, or a scene that exists only in the negligible 'possibility'.

I still can't fully decipher the mysteries of time and space, and for mortals, it's even more indescribable. Now you just have to accept and adapt to the process, and you don't have to think about it, otherwise it's just a waste of worrying about yourself.

Whatever happens, remember that the Black Sun has your back, and whether you live or die, my court will leave a place for you. ”

This can be regarded as an oracle, generally speaking, oracles are short and concise, but His Highness Black Sun actually said hundreds of words this time, almost half of which were used to comfort himself.

Luo Ming was really startled when he thought about it.

However, more than the goodwill of His Highness the Black Sun, what he cared more about was the hidden meaning of the words - it seems that the scenes of the catastrophe that he saw when he first came to this world were really a kind of foreknowledge.

Even if it only exists in a negligible possibility, but compared to that risk, even if it is a 1 in 1000 million possibility, he does not want to risk betting that it will not happen, and completely ignore all precautions.

However, he still kept it in his heart - he couldn't say it at all, and he couldn't even hint at it, so it was only his own business.

Seeing that Luo Ming seemed to have returned to normal, Aya began to speak: "Then go back to your original question, about the demigods and the believers and priests.

I can assert that if a demigod has no other source of power, and relies on believers alone to maintain his power, then it needs at least 2,000 devout enough believers, and the rest of the shallow believers may have more than 10,000 people, but this level is only maintained, it is impossible to progress, and he does not even dare to use his divine power, otherwise he will be temporarily depleted by carelessness - this is just a legendary powerhouse that has strengthened a little.

If there are fewer believers, there is no other source of power to replenish it, and it will slowly decline—but I, the goddess of cleanliness, have the support of His Highness the Black Sun behind the scenes, so I'm fine.

And the peak of the demigods, about 10,000 pious believers, tens of thousands of shallow believers, at this stage, there is finally some spare strength, with the blessing of divine power of the nirvana can hit and even kill the legend with one blow.

Of course, it is basically not impossible to become a demigod without other sources of power, but believers are the more important one after all...... Ah, off topic. ”

She brought the subject back again: "As for the priest...... Almost one in a hundred among believers. If a pastor can be in charge of fifty to a hundred believers, this is considered a pastor's abundance, and if a pastor is in charge of two or three hundred believers, it is considered a small number of pastors...... Of course, I'm talking about devout believers, not shallow believers, false believers, pan-believers, and so on.

But in reality, many parts of the world today do not meet this standard, for example, Vanshee County is relatively remote, so the proportion of priests is lower. ”

"I see. Luo Ming pondered for a moment, and then said to her, "In two days I will announce the emancipation of the first slaves...... Send Ariana to choose a few obedient ones among them.

They don't necessarily have the talent to be qualified pastors, but it should be feasible for you to teach them to talk about it, to appease people, and to propagate superficial doctrines from the textbook—to expand the number of believers in order to have enough population base to find enough pastors, right?"
