Chapter 12: Exposure
For example, temples with more believers tend to have more resources and development conditions, while temples with fewer believers are often ignored and given a cold reception.
The god of deception and lies, Ricky, did not have many followers in Bela Oka, and as a result, the temple here was full of people, and the clergy stationed there were even fewer people, except for the necessary temple guards, and the priests who performed their duties, there were no other superfluous clergy, unlike the temples with many believers, which were lively every day like a market bazaar, and the number of clergy responsible for receiving the believers could form a new temple.
Alex was the last person to receive the awakening ceremony at the Ricky Temple that day, and the old priest who presided over after completing the awakening ceremony left one step ahead because he still had other things to deal with, and he didn't seem to care about the two people left in the auditorium, after all, blasphemy is a very serious crime in this era, but anyone who dares to make a mistake in the temple, even if the other party is a god, will still be killed.
Therefore, the people of the temple would not have imagined that someone would blatantly "rummage through the cabinets" under the noses of the gods in order to find out the secret of the awakening ceremony! By the time the people of the temple found out about the strangeness, it was already more than a month later.
......
Although the temple will be affected by the number of believers, it does not mean that the power of the gods' gifts is the same, in fact, the power of each god's gifts is different, and the specific situation is directly related to the god's priesthood.
In the case of Alex's belief in the god of deception and lies, Alex's strength focuses on disguise changes, and he is especially good at underground activities in spy assassination, but his career choices vary from person to person, and as Alex, who has just successfully transformed into a god, he will need a long time to become familiar with his powers.
When Chen An asked about the specific changes in his body, Alex naturally said it without reservation.
First of all, Alex felt full of strength, as if the whole person had been reborn, and at the same time, his senses and reactions became extremely sharp, and his brain was much more flexible and clear, the most intuitive example is that the financial math problems that used to be like listening to books can now be quickly answered.
After many tests, Chen An, who understands Alex's condition clearly, inexplicably thinks of the hero in a superhero movie on Earth, but compared with the protagonist who has been transformed through experiments, Alex's physical fitness is far inferior to that of the other party, but it has a certain advantage in other aspects, and the two have their own advantages.
"Ann, I plan to familiarize myself with my body and strength during this time, and by the way, follow some experienced gods to go to the Demon Sealing Tower to practice, so I may rarely contact you in the coming days. ”
After Chen An held a real celebratory dinner for Alex privately, when parting, Alex hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but open his mouth to Chen An.
"Experience? That's fine, after all, you have become a god, sooner or later you have to go to the Demon Sealing Tower, and your future destiny is tied to this, and now I can only wish you a safe and smooth future journey." Chen An was stunned for a moment, then patted the other party's shoulder and sighed softly.
"Ann, don't worry, I won't forget you when I make a name for myself in the future. Alex smiled confidently.
"I'm optimistic about you, too!"
After saying that, the two said goodbye.
When you get home, night has already fallen, and the moon hanging high in the night sky illuminates the earth as if it were day, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see the road clearly, but unfortunately there is no concept of nightlife in this era, and it is difficult to see pedestrians on the streets at night.
Bella Oka does not have a strict curfew and household registration system like ancient China, even if you encounter a security team patrolling at night, you don't need to worry too much, and then bribe the other party after honestly revealing your identity, basically the patrol team will turn a blind eye and let you go, this is still a technique that Alex taught him.
Generally speaking, the security of Bella Oka is not bad, as long as you don't die and wander around the areas with poor security environment, or pick remote alleys to drill around, crimes such as robbery and kidnapping will naturally be far away from you. Since Chen An came to this world, except for a few times when money was stolen, he really has never encountered a serious violent crime.
After successfully returning to his dwelling, Chen An lay on the simple bed without the slightest sleepiness, he stared at the low ceiling above his head in a daze, and his mind drifted to the secret found under the stone slab of the temple.
What is under the slate? He didn't want to sell Guanzi, and he didn't tell Alex because this secret was beyond the other party's cognitive limitations, and even Chen An himself could not explain it clearly.
Do you believe that in the medieval world, there would be something like the integrated light path that was full of science fiction?
Chen An couldn't determine the specific name of the similar integrated optical path under the slate, but this thing definitely involved the genetic modification of the human body. The moment he saw them, the truth behind the layers of fog that shrouded the world in front of him seemed to be revealed at once.
Gods and demons may be the biggest lie in the world!
For some reason, Chen An, who has always pursued an ordinary life, suddenly found himself feeling irrepressibly excited and impulsive, and his strong desire to explore made him eager to know the secrets of gods and demons, and all the truths about this world!
Reason, however, tells itself not to be impulsive, not to take risks, and if you want to continue with the life that is in peace in front of you, then you must abandon these dangerous thoughts, otherwise you are heading for a path of no return.
Even if the gods are not real gods, and the demons are not demons, they are definitely not existences that they can deal with.
Alas-
After a fierce ideological struggle, it was reason that prevailed in the end. With a long sigh, either regret or unwillingness, with complicated emotions, Chen An slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Subsequently, his life returned to its usual state, because Alex no longer contacted him, Chen An spent all his spare time in the library, although he was determined not to delve into the secrets of gods and demons and the world, but in order to satisfy his inner curiosity, he began to read a lot of books involving gods and demons, hoping to get some clues from them.
After such days lasted for a while, one early morning in the snow moon (13 months), Chen An, who was sleeping soundly, was once again awakened by a loud knock outside the door.
"Who!?"
Chen An, who was lying on the bed, screamed in a daze!
Bang –
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and before Chen An could react, a figure rushed to Chen An's bed and dragged him up!
"Ann, get up, the people of the temple are coming to arrest you!"
