Panakaya said it very tactfully, but the meaning was clear. Don't think about miracles, you can't afford it.

"Then you didn't say it earlier. Shen Xi grinned his back molars and gasped, "Anyway, I don't have much hope for my priesthood." Patron saint of criminals, thugs and fraudsters...... What is this matching miracle, and what nonsense is believed by anyone?"

"I don't know. Panakaya lowered her head, as if she was very uncomfortable with Shen Xi's unstingy appearance. "This priesthood is supposed to be newly born, and I haven't seen or heard of a similar priesthood before, so I can't give you a reference. However, the top priority now is to determine the choice of the pope as soon as possible. ”

"Oh yes, Pope. Shen Xi sat on the dragon chair and slapped the desk, "Wow, I have to choose this pope carefully, and I can only communicate with him directly in the next few decades. ”

But before that, let's look at the prayers of the believers. Panakaya commanded the servants of the gods to deliver the four "memorials" that recorded the believers.

"Great and cruel Divine Breath, we pray to you and offer five hundred gold coins and fifteen rubies, begging for your help. Please dispel the remnants of the sun that is still attacking!"

"Great and cruel God's breath! We pray to you, offer five thousand gold coins and eternal loyalty, and beg for mercy!

"Great and merciless God's breath, your people are dying! Sacrifice for you the dagger that slays the enemy and the lives of ten pure maidens, and beseech you to shelter your people!"

"Damn it! Come help, or all your Christians will die here!"

"Since you have not yet identified the pope, the prayers recorded are from the collective prayers of the faithful. A priest in a purple python robe half-bent over and respectfully, "The content of the collective prayer is summarized according to the strongest wishes of the believers. You can think of these prayers as their common aspirations. ”

"This tone is more and more unkind every time. Although Shen Xi hadn't regarded himself as a high-ranking immortal, the content of such a prayer really made people feel that there was a fire rising in their stomachs. "Believers and God are so blind now?"

"Most of the people in Noah's world are like that. Panakaya shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "After all, there are hundreds of intern gods who have carved out their own sects in Noah's world, so everyone's prayers are relatively direct. At the end of the day, God is also a service industry. ”

"Service industry?" Shen Xi almost choked to death with his own saliva. Looking at the content of the prayer carefully, Shen Xi felt that the world was really wonderful, "God's breath, how do they know my name?"

"It should be the time of prayer that you have already begun to convert. Panakaya also seemed a little unsure, and said as if guessing, "So when the records were converted in the temple, the name was automatically changed." ”

Shen Xi sighed, "Alas, these don't care for the time being. Not to mention that I can't perform miracles now, and even if I could, the miracles corresponding to my priesthood might not be able to solve this problem, right?

"My lord, Wei Chen has reviewed the Nether Realm without authorization. The divine servant in the purple python robe was originally just bent over, but after hearing Shen Xi's question, he quickly knelt down on one knee, touched his chest with his right hand and replied in a deep voice, "In the Duchy of Grans in the Nether, there is a small-scale underground chamber of commerce called 'Shadow Dancer'. The founder and elder of this organization were both Duke Samuel Grant, the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Grant. At the time of establishing the Shadow Dancers, Samuel Grant conducted a missionary campaign against the members who joined the Shadow Dancers in order to increase their appeal and establish himself as an elder. Claims to have established the Shadow Dancer on direct instructions from the Divine Breath. And actively practiced religious activities in the underground chamber of commerce. Taking advantage of his position as the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Grant, he forged miracles and oracles. In addition, according to the review of Lord Death, Samuel confessed to his crime of impersonating God and the Pope in Hell after his assassination, and was sentenced to 13,000 years of torment in Hell by Lord Death. ”

"It's funny. Shen Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he listened, and he seemed to faintly grasp the key to breaking the game, "Who was the person who assassinated Samuel Grant?"

"Based on the chronological backtracking of the Temple of Time, we have determined that the assassin was a dead soldier raised by Viscount Prescott Grant, the first heir to the Duchy of Grant. There was no pause in the servant's answer, and it was certain that Shen Xi had thoroughly investigated the whole thing before he saw the records.

"So, last but not least. Shen Xi began to smile, "This Viscount Prescott, before driving his own dead soldiers to assassinate, did he know that the elder of the 'Shadow Dancer' was his father, Archduke Samuel?"

"Viscount Prescott knows nothing about the identity of the Shadow Dancer Elder. The Servant replied affirmatively, "Viscount Prescott has not had any direct or indirect contact with the Shadow Dancer Elder in any way, and he has no access to the Shadow Dancer Elder's behavior patterns. Therefore, we are sure that Viscount Prescott knows nothing about this. He only cleaned up and cracked down on the underground chamber of commerce for the purpose of maintaining his father's rule. ”

This is an unexpected ethical tragedy. Shen Xi made a judgment on this. Although it is not certain why Grand Duke Samuel would form such a powerful underground chamber of commerce in his own domain, the tragedy of killing his father with his son has already occurred. The current situation of the Shadow Dancers is also easy to judge, as they were bumpered by the capital's city defenses while burying the Elders. And the general of the capital's city defense army happened to be a loyal knight who had met Archduke Samuel. As a result, the Shadow Dancer became a thug who kidnapped and killed Archduke Samuel in order to avenge the Elders.

"Well, that's going to be easy. Shen Xi smiled brightly, "I'm still worried about how to preach." It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!"

The eastern frontier of the Celebrus Empire, the Duchy of Grant.

An unusually thick fog has covered Fort Grant, the capital of the Duchy, for three months now. During this period, the agriculture of Fort Grant, which was not very developed, was wiped out. The fog blocked too much sunlight, and although the wheat was not yet dead, the harvest was almost a foregone conclusion.

Just as the peasants of Fort Grant put down their farming tools in despair and began to beg the lord for mercy to forgive the taxes, the entire ruling system of the Duchy of Grant was also hit hard - the far-sighted Archduke Samuel Grant was killed.

The most unacceptable thing is that Grand Duke Samuel died in the assassination of the underground chamber of commerce. And the one responsible for cracking down on the underground chamber of commerce is none other than Viscount Prescott, the first heir of the principality.

The Viscount, who was clearly directly responsible for the murder of the Grand Duke, wanted to inherit the Duke, and this kind of thing was unacceptable no matter where it was placed. And even Viscount Prescott himself refused to inherit the dukedom and wrote to His Majesty the Emperor of the Sybrus Empire, calling himself a sinner, asking the emperor to confer the dukedom on his younger brother.

However, the attitude of the royal family was resolute, and His Majesty the Emperor even wrote a letter in person, encouraging Viscount Prescott not to be too sad. To this end, he granted the position of Grand Duke as regent for the time being, and ordered Viscount Prescott to complete the extermination of the Shadow Dancers within three months, and then immediately return to Fort Grant and succeed him as Grand Duke.

Viscount Prescott, who received the order, led his troops into battle. He fought extremely bravely, and in less than a month, he forced the headquarters of the Shadow Dancers, as well as the bandits and horse teams attached to the Shadow Dancers, into the Jedi Monster Forest, about three hundred kilometers east of Fort Grant.

The Monster Forest is the terminus of the Eastern Mountain Range Thunder Mountain. The towering mountains come to an abrupt end here. The fifty-kilometer-wide mountain range was cut off directly in the center of the Monster Forest, leaving behind a smooth stone wall thousands of kilometers high.

The formation of stone walls is by no means a natural phenomenon, and the stone is cut as smooth as a mirror, regardless of material, which is by no means human. The only people who can do this miracle are the gods. However, in the royal library of the Sibrus Empire, or in other long-standing sect holy texts, there is no record of the stone wall of the Thunder Mountain Mountains. Exactly when and by whom the cliff was cut off is still a mystery.

The remnants of the Shadow Dancers, who had been cornered, were now gathered at the foot of the Thunder Bluff, ready for the final desperate fight.

"The prayer is over?" said Fenrir, the steward who had taken over the supreme command of the Shadow Dancers, sharpening his spear with stone chips. Seeing the priest in the robe walking towards him, he quickly got up and asked, "Is there still no oracle?"

"Nope. The shaman shook his head. When the hood from the robe was removed, a head full of flesh was revealed. "It may be true that my faith is not strong enough. The elders get the oracle every time, and I can't do anything about it...... I can't even establish even the most basic perceptions. ”

Generally speaking, when priests prayed, they were able to clearly perceive the appearance of the god they believed. The worst can also sense the breath or fluctuations of the gods in prayer. But the shaman of the Shadow Dancer felt nothing. The fact that elders are able to communicate with God and perform miracles shows that the God they believe in exists. However, after the death of the elder, the shaman was no longer able to communicate with the gods, and no new elder was born among the members of the chamber of commerce. This inevitably plunged Fenrir and the rest of the leadership into a dark state of despair.

"O God, are you going to abandon your people!" said Fenrir, the chief of Fenrir, as two lines of cloudy tears slipped from the corners of his eyes. soaked the wrinkles and furrows on his face.
