In the tavern in Pyroxen, Parin, Satan, and the new president of the Thieves' Guild, "Grey-Eyed" Rod, sit together and drink. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Rhodes was very humble in his attitude, with a flattering smile on his face, to paraphrase Mr. Gurlon, who simply wanted to kneel down and lick the boots of Parin and Satan.

After witnessing the incredible power of His Majesty the Void Mask, he, a believer in the God of Thieves who was not very devout in the first place, was already very tempted and wanted to join His Majesty's command.

The god of thieves is not a very powerful god, although he is considered an old-timer among the gods, but this senior has always mixed very well. This is largely due to his style of conduct – his main priesthood is to be thieves, to hide and to hallucinate, which at first glance may seem lofty, but in fact he has always taught believers to be sensible, not to get involved in too risky things, to restrain their desires, and to take a small risk in life to live a peaceful life...... Etcetera. Under his teaching, the main business of the thieves' guild included the manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods, the operation of grocery stores, taverns, inns, locksmiths, identification, and so on, in addition to the traditional theft, sale of stolen goods, and the sale of information. In addition to these, there are also some fairly decent professions, such as house and cemetery construction, archaeology, and some low-end civilian disaster self-rescue education.

If you want to make money and make a fortune with these, it is naturally not difficult. But it is obviously unrealistic to want to rely on these to reach the pinnacle of life and even laugh proudly. If you don't have a choice, of course, there is nothing wrong with making a fortune and living in peace, but after witnessing the powerful power of His Majesty Void Mask, Rod can't help but have the idea of changing his faith to a god.

It's not that His Majesty the God of Thieves is bad, or that he is unwilling to go to the Kingdom of the God of Thieves after death, but as we all know, it is not so easy to go to the Kingdom of Thieves after death. The limited power of the God of Thieves and the not very advanced realm of the gods determined that it was impossible for him to widely accept the souls of believers, and even the president of a town thief guild might not be able to go to the kingdom of God.

If he can't go to the kingdom of God, I'm afraid it won't be much better to wait for Rod's fate - although he hasn't done any too appalling evil deeds over the years, but the accumulation of crimes such as theft, counterfeiting, and fraud is enough to cut off a few times, not to mention those underworld battles that have absolutely nothing to do with justice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy the dead Ren.

Going to the kingdom of the redeeming god is not a good choice. The deity's philosophy is for believers to redeem themselves and others, and Wren has redeemed himself, but he cannot find peace and joy until he has redeemed enough people to truly complete his atonement. As the messenger of the God of Salvation said, he still has a long way to go. In Rhodes' view, it was nothing more than avoiding the tragic outcome of falling into hell and replacing torture with long-term labor.

But...... That's good!

If you can get on good terms with His Majesty the Void Mask, even if you don't have His protection in normal times, as long as you can ask Him for his blessing when you are dying, you can get a chance to atone for your sins and avoid going to hell - this benefit alone is enough to make a timid person like Rhodes excited.

Not to mention, His Majesty the Void Mask has so much protection for his own followers that it is simply eye-catching!

There are so many gods in the world, what god would be angry and confronted with the god of conspiracy because his followers were plotted?

And, moreover, fight, win!

In contrast, the head of his own guild, the god of thieves whose status is equivalent to that of the main priest, who has not even noticed the anti-water, is really a bit ...... Alas!

Parin is relatively young, lacks experience, and lacks the ability to see people from the subtleties, but Satan is an old man, as a strong man who eats with his brain, and even suppressed Gerald with his intelligence, he saw what Rod meant at a glance, and couldn't help but smile.

"President Rod, let's get straight to the point—do you want to be a believer in our Lord?" he asked bluntly.

This straightforward speaking style obviously made Rod, who was used to bargaining slowly, a little uncomfortable, and he choked up when he had originally conceived a lot of lines, and only nodded with a wry smile after a while.

"The Immortal Thief (another name for the God of Thieves) is not a calculating god, but as the leader of the Thieves' Guild, aren't you afraid of being punished for betraying His faith?" Satan asked the most crucial question directly.

Of course, Rhodes had already thought carefully about this question, and immediately replied: "Strictly speaking, I am still only the vice president now, and I have not officially held the sacrificial ceremony, and I am the president with the approval of His Majesty. Of course, His Majesty will not tolerate the conversion of a full president, but he must still tolerate the words of the vice president. What's more, in any case, His Majesty the Void Mask is also an enemy of his enemies after all, and the enemies of his enemies can at least be considered friends, if not allies. ”

"It seems that you have thought very clearly, carefully weighing the pros and cons. Then I have one more question. Satan said, "Our Majesty is a member of the ancient gods of nature, not a god who is keen to spread the faith." If you want to join us, what do you think you can do for Your Majesty? ”

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to encounter this problem - most of the gods in this world are keen to spread faith, because receiving feedback from the power of faith is the most common means to improve the realm of gods. However, for the ancient gods of nature who received their power from the source of the world, the existence or absence of faith was not a major matter at all, and it did not matter to them whether some people believed or no one believed in it.

Therefore, it has become very difficult to join the church under the command of the ancient gods of nature.

After all, people don't mean to recruit people in the first place.

Rhodes thought for a while before he said, "In these four towns in the northwest, I'm still well-informed. And I have a lot of experience in appraising this industry, even if I go to the gold coin federation in the south, I am qualified to be a master in the industry. In addition to this, I am also very good at forging documents, creating and dismantling traps, and I know a lot about geology, history, flora and fauna......"

"But are these useful to my lord?" Satan asked.

Rhodes was silent for a long time, shaking his head in frustration.

The Old Gods of Nature are beings who are outside the civilized world, and those abilities that are useful in the civilized world are of no use to him. And a great deity, such as geology or knowledge of flora and fauna, does not have to care about such trivial matters at all.

Just when he was depressed, Sui Xiong's voice suddenly sounded in the air: "This tavern is run by your thieves' guild, right?

Rod shook his head: "There is someone else in charge of running the tavern, and I don't know much about business and operations. ”

In the presence of a deity, he would not dare to lie.

"So, what about you, Parin?" Sui Xiong asked again.

"Your Majesty, I can go and learn. Parin immediately replied, "I'm still young, and I'm a quick learner." And before I finish my studies, I can get a few veterans from my uncle to help. ”

"If you want someone to help, I have more helpers here!" Rhodes hurriedly grabbed the conversation, "Your Majesty, I know a lot of capable people, and there are at least ten businessmen with good qualifications in the past!"

"Well, your specialty is networking...... Sui Xiong smiled and said, "Gerald has been suggesting that I should start my own church and belief system, and although I haven't made up my mind yet, it's a good attempt to try to build a pioneer village." Rod, if you're willing to work for me, how about I let you and Parin help build this village?"

"That's fine! I'll be able to do it!" Rod was overjoyed, patting his chest and agreeing.

Parin bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, I will do my best." ”

He knew that he was young, his talents were limited, and all he could guarantee was to do his best.

"Don't worry, it's not hard for us to build a pioneer village. Rhodes encouraged him, in turn, that "to build such a village, you need nothing more than three things: food, people, and force." In terms of food, as long as it costs money, in terms of population, it is not difficult to recruit pioneers, and as for force, it is not a problem, with Gerald's big man, as long as we don't get dizzy and build the village next to the lair of some of the most ferocious legendary monsters in the ash forest, can we still stop him from an axe?"

Everyone suddenly realized that, as Rhodes said, it was not difficult to build a pioneer village in the ash forest when there was no shortage of money with the guarantee of force.

Just like sowing seeds, the seeds are good, the soil and climate are suitable, and there is no shortage of water and fertilizer, so all you need is careful care and patience.

Thinking of this, both Parin and Satan couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps for His Majesty the Void Mask, building a pioneer village is just a small game worth mentioning. But for them, it was an opportunity to give strength to the gods they believed in.

The ancient gods of nature have always had no desires and no desires, and their followers are often very nonexistent. However, the world has its own rules, and if a believer does not follow the ideals of the gods, or if the gods contribute enough, then even if the soul is included in the kingdom of God after death, it will not be able to be reborn well and become a divine creature with a near-immortal life. In the kingdom of the ancient gods of nature, there are countless souls who have not been able to successfully complete rebirth, but have only slept peacefully between life and death, and occasionally woke up.

Neither Palin nor Satan wanted that ending. So, of course, they have to make more contributions to their gods while they are still alive, so that they can be reborn smoothly after death.

As for the first formal task assigned by the gods, they all wanted to do their best to do it well, so as to set a positive example for future believers. It also paves a solid and reliable floor tile for himself on the road to the reincarnation of the kingdom of God.

Soon, they began to discuss in detail the specific plan for establishing a pioneer village: where to buy supplies, where to recruit villagers, where to choose the village, how to do transportation, how to build it, and then to discuss solutions.

Sui Xiong listened with interest at first, and he got bored listening to it. He shifted his energy to the outside of the tavern to see Gerald's situation, but saw that Gerald was teaching the thieves martial arts, although this big man's personality is becoming more and more honest and upright, but the nature of being a good teacher has not disappeared, as soon as he sees this group of good materials with sparse skills but good physique, he can't help but want to teach them something.

His own believers are busy, and Sui Xiong is not easy to disturb. So he calmed down and began to read the information that the God of Salvation had given him......
