Chapter 174
Doing nothing to make things go in a good direction?
It's a great idea, of course, but it's not easy to put into practice. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the high-level leaders of the two churches were still fighting outside Green Tree City, the atmosphere of tension between the two churches was very strong, and there were frequent cases of misfire, and from time to time a large and small friction or even a battle broke out.
Fortunately, both sides still follow the rules, and according to the rules, the two churches cannot engage in large-scale exchanges of fire until the outcome of the duel is decided.
This limited the intensity and scale of the struggle, and also made Wall, who was originally very worried, gradually relieved.
In contrast to him, the mood of the noble god is getting worse and worse.
He saw very clearly that he had fallen behind in this battle for faith, and not only was his plan to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the powerful divine power probably difficult to achieve, but even the sphere of influence that had been demarcated before was a little unstable.
That's what annoys Him the most.
The god of nobility is not very much about the belongings of faith, in his view, the most important thing is not who the people believe, but who the nobles who rule the people believe. As long as the rulers believe in Him, He doesn't care if the people believe in Him or not.
So all along, he focused on spreading the faith in the upper classes and disdained the lower classes.
In other countries, His Church influence is much stronger than that of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Cultureβthe Northwest Republic is a different story, but in the Land of the Mages, the situation is reversed.
Even after years of preparation and influence, the mainstream idea of the Mystic Tower Federation is still the most noble mage, and modern mages pay great attention to knowledge and culture, so the cultural atmosphere here is also very strong. Not to mention those spellcasters, even among the nobility, noble blood is important, but cultural cultivation is also indispensable.
Therefore, when the god of knowledge gained a new priesthood and became the god of knowledge and culture, many nobles and mages who were originally inclined to the god of nobility turned to the god of knowledge and culture.
It is not surprising that mages would make such a choice. But the nobles actually did the same, which made the gods of nobility very unhappy.
He even felt that it was a betrayal!
Shouldn't the aristocracy naturally believe in themselves? They have been trying to propagate the nobility of aristocratic blood, the natural rationality of aristocratic rule, and the correctness of the aristocratic system! How can they, because of habits and traditions, turn to the gods of knowledge and culture?
But He didn't say these thoughts, just secretly annoyed.
Annoyance didn't solve the problem, and after some thought, he decided to get help.
"Are you sure you want me to help?"
"Of course!"
β...... Sorry, I can't help with this. β
"Why? I think you have a solution. For example, to stir up civil strife in some aristocratic families that tend to be there, or to stir up conflicts between mages and nobles...... Aren't these what you're best at?"
"I'm good at that, yes, but I don't want to die!"
"What do you mean?"
"I admit that doing these things is perfectly in line with my position and my appetite. But why should I jump out at this sensitive moment to provoke the god of knowledge and culture? Don't forget, there is a void mask behind him!"
"Are you scared?"
"Nonsense! Of course I'm afraid! I'm not like you, I have the Lord of Light behind me, and even if the sky falls, He will help you support you. I'm alone. β
"But you have sinned against Him a long time ago, and you have sinned badly. Not only that, but you have offended so many gods in the Pantheon, and you have offended so many times, why do you suddenly care about you this time?"
"There are some things I can't tell you, but in short, I will definitely not be involved in anything that is hostile to the Void Mask in the near future. β
β...... Is this a hint?"
"You can think so, for the sake of our good relationship in the past, this can be considered a hint. β
β...... I see, I'll rethink it. β
After the noble god left, the god of conspiracy hidden in the shadows smiled bitterly, shook his head, turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared, returning to his own kingdom.
He has a big plan, and in order to realize that plan, it is very beneficial to maintain a relatively good or at least neutral relationship with the Void Mask.
That may not make the plan successful, but it is necessary to make the unlikely plan a reality, and there may be only a slight chance of success.
For this, it is worth even giving up the opportunity to spread the conspiracy.
The god of conspiracy is not the kind of half-mad god who is so confused that he always looks only at the present, he has a strict mind and clear judgment, and he can sacrifice some immediate benefits for the sake of the long-term interests of the future.
The same is true of the gods of nobility.
After returning to the kingdom of God, He pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.
Admit defeat first, as for the hole cards that have been arranged a long time ago, you can wait until later.
Anyway...... The hole cards never expire.
"Admit defeat?" The god of heroes looked at him in surprise, as if he had never seen him before, "You actually want to admit defeat in such a major matter as mission?
"I used to think I was, but when I thought about it, I realized that I wasn't. The god of nobility said calmly, "If the price is too great, it will not be worth it." Anyway, I've already gained some benefits this time, and even if I can't further expand my faith, the benefits I get this time alone are enough to greatly shorten the time it takes for me to impact the powerful divine power. β
"But if you can greatly expand the scope of your faith this time, you may soon be able to impact the powerful divine power. Said the guardian god.
"That's true, but our god system is actually not very lacking in powerful divine power. With you here, it will be enough to assist Your Majesty. It's good that I can impact the powerful divine power now, but not now, and it won't be impossible to impact in a few hundred years. β
The god of guardians and the god of heroes looked at each other and nodded.
"We're glad you think so. The Patronus said, "So how are you going to throw in the towel? β
"I'm going to talk to the god of knowledge and culture. The god of nobility, who had already thought of a plan, said confidently, "Let him offer some benefits in exchange for my concessions." At least it looks better on the face. β
Soon, He put this idea into practice.
The god of nobility met with the god of knowledge and culture, and after some negotiation between the two sides, the god of knowledge and culture gave up a rare treasure in exchange for the church of the noble god acknowledging the defeat of the missionary war, and the two sides negotiated to divide the sphere of influence, ending the state of hostilities.
When the news came, the top leaders of the two churches, who had been fighting for almost a month and were exhausted and dazed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, almost in unison, the two sides lay on the ground and fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
