Wohl originally came from a small merchant family, which is almost the grassroots of society. www.biquge.info He learned martial arts when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, his family was bankrupt, not to mention, and he owed a lot of money. In desperation, he had no choice but to venture into the rivers and lakes and become an adventurer, and it took him almost ten years before and after, and how many times he was born and died, before he could be regarded as returning the money.

After paying off his debts, he faded his adventurous mind and started a family. was supposed to live a life in peace, but unexpectedly bad luck came, and therefore there was a legendary story of killing nobles with a black blade, and there was a peerless hero who made the nobles of the world the most feared in the past hundred years.

All these things are gone, but Walr will not forget them. Even though he had become a god, he was still unfriendly to merchants and nobles, but rather friendly to adventurers, and quite incompatible with his "knowledge" priesthood.

In recent years, on the one hand, he has gained some insight into self-cultivation, and on the other hand, he has also been infected by the power of faith, and gradually changed, no longer so hostile to merchants and nobles, on the contrary, he is also willing to look down on merchants and nobles who are interested in learning or willing to help spread culture, so his faith has gradually spread among the middle and upper class.

In any case, knowledge has always been an extremely important force, and to have knowledge is to have access to a huge resource, which can be very helpful in both fighting and governance. The big aristocrats and big businessmen may not care, but those elites who aspire to high society are keen to learn and are actively cultivating their own teams - all of which cannot be avoided "knowledge".

Not only that, but there were many people among the casters who respected Wall. Especially the mages of the academic school, they have always believed that knowledge is the foundation of magic, and that mages should be scholars first, and the training of mages should first start with cultural education, which is an act of tending to the belief of Wall, and many of them have even become followers of Wall.

Therefore, when Walr came to the Mystic Tower Federation and called on his churches and believers to start expanding, and establishing a sphere of influence belonging to the scholarly cultural circle in the once monolithic country of mages, what he received was not Sui Xiong's original indifference of some concern, but a warm welcome and support.

Because of the death of Lampelus, the god of spellcasters, the Secret Tower Federation is now panicked, and everyone is a little nervous. Especially those mages, for a long time, Imia Lamperous has been the patron saint of the Federation, and the anchor of the sea in everyone's hearts. No matter how many ups and downs the Federation has experienced, as long as he is there, everyone is full of confidence.

However, He was gone.

Since the establishment of the Federation, he has been like a towering supernatural mountain, withstanding all kinds of pressure, no matter how dangerous the situation is, he can make the right choice, or simply rely on his powerful strength to break the predicament. From generation to generation, from ancestors to descendants, the people of the Federation have long been accustomed to his presence, and have even developed the habit of "praying to Master Lampelous when they are in trouble".

It's like on Earth, Easterners often sigh "God", and Westerners love to sigh "My God".

However, He has fallen. The "God" and "God" of the Mystic Tower Federation are no longer there.

This makes many people's hearts empty, and often when people encounter difficulties, they will subconsciously pray silently to Lampelus, praying for protection, and then suddenly remember that the patron saint of the Federation is gone......

So a lot of people will suddenly cry and cry a lot.

At this moment, the Church of the God of Knowledge has stepped forward to promote its own teachings and call on everyone to believe in the God of Knowledge, and it is just the right time to seize this opportunity. Those who were empty in their hearts were looking for something to rely on, and the God of Knowledge had a good impression of them in terms of doctrine and experience, and as soon as the propaganda was called, many people went along with the boat and directly believed in Walr.

Of course, Walr is not the only god who sees the opportunity to preach in a big way, in fact, the churches of various gods have taken this opportunity to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out missions in the Mystic Tower Federation.

However, missionary work is not something that you will be able to succeed with. Faith is not a transaction, and if your teachings are not approved by others, then even if someone joins your church, they will not be able to become a true believer.

This is called "hypocrisy," which means "I said I believed, but I didn't."

The situation above it is called "pan-faith", which means "although I don't usually believe much, at least I believe when I pray."

Pan-believers are also believers, but their beliefs are not strong, and even at least half of the pan-believers believe in several gods at the same time. In a variety of different situations, they will choose to pray to different deities in the hope of being blessed.

This is like the Oriental people on the earth, who believe in heaven and God and their ancestors, in short, whoever is willing to bless him, he is willing to believe in whomever he wants.

Many Westerners feel that the faith of the Easterners is hypocritical and has turned their faith into a business. They feel that faith should be a one-sided giving, and that the blessing of the gods is something that comes after the giving. Even, whether blessed or not, should not affect the giving.

On this basis, they also developed the idea that "everyone should believe in the gods of our family, and those who do not believe should be dragged out and hacked to death", and then developed to the point that "all believers should worship and understand God according to our school, otherwise it is a heresy and must be dragged out and hacked to death".

In this regard, most Oriental people just said "hehe" twice, and silently sighed in their hearts that "there is a brain disease".

This kind of belief certainly exists in this world. Those who only talk about giving without asking for anything in return are called devout, and those who think that not believing in their own gods are sinful, and they are called fanatical believers.

In addition, there is another group of people whose philosophy of life is basically in line with the teachings of the gods, so that their behavior is basically in accordance with the teachings, which is the rarest and is called orthodoxy.

Believers between devout and pan-believers believe in only one deity, but if this deity does not bless them, then they cannot be expected to be loyal, and they will convert if necessary. This is called "true faith."

Hypocrisy, pan-faith, true faith, and piety, these are the four most common beliefs. With the exception of the lowest level of hypocrisy, the other three require a certain degree of agreement with the teachings of the gods in order to be realized.

The Esoteric Tower Federation is a nation of mages, and modern mage theory is based on culture. Therefore, in this country, even the old peasants who can't read a single word know the culture of respect, so the teachings of the God of Knowledge can easily be recognized by everyone, and it is very convenient to preach.

As for the other gods, they naturally do not have such advantages, and their missionary efficiency is far inferior to that of the Church of the God of Knowledge.

And the Church of the God of Knowledge has another huge advantage, they have money.

Rich, rich, very rich!

Encountering such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Sui Xiong certainly does not care about money, anyway, in his opinion, it is logical to spend money, and it is also to promote social progress - don't you listen to GDP? Make money and spend money, it is all GDP!

So he gave an order, and a huge amount of money was spent like flowing water, which can be said to be a gold coin to open the way.

It's not easy to make money, and who wouldn't spend money!

With sufficient funding, the mission of God of Knowledge is completely cost-free, and even the missionary pastors in some areas have shouted the slogan "We want to promote education for all".

This made the churches of the other gods blush, but none of them could afford so much money, and they could only blush.

In just four or five days, the Church of the God of Knowledge has expanded wildly in the Mystic Tower Federation, adding at least hundreds of thousands of believers, and it is still growing. There was even more than one city ruler, a high-ranking mage who sat on the top of the mage's tower, who chose to believe in him.

With the large increase in the number of believers, Wall's divine power is also rapidly improving, and before he knows it, he has actually stepped into the level of medium divine power. (To be continued.) )
