The Earl's Mansion under the setting sun is cold and twilight. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Mephistopheles stood a short corner and waited for the Earl of Bronck.

In fact, Mephistopheles had not intended to do so, and Bell's death was not in his plans. As he had told the deceased at the cemetery, the death of the young master was a pity, both for him and for Bell himself.

In Mephistopheles' original plan, Monlo was the sacrifice he used to complete the ritual, and Bell was his agent. Now that the planned agent is dead because of Monroe's selfishness, Mephistopheles can only enter the game on his own.

After all, an identity that can be used as a cover and a territory that can be kept in obscurity are too important for Mephistopheles now.

This is a world of countless gods, and although most of them are still asleep, Mephistopheles is still far from being invincible under the gods.

Mephistopheles' strength is difficult to define by the level on the Material Continent, if I have to describe it, then he should be able to belong to the legendary rank. Because now he has begun to understand and apply the rules, and this is the only criterion that defines the legend and the legend.

However, his accumulation was far from reaching a level that matched his realm, after all, he had just escaped from the predicament.

Therefore, for Mephistopheles now, the professionals under the legend are not taken into his eyes. Although he may not be able to take advantage of the silver and above professions head-on, as a devil, he will rarely duel with others openly. And once he chooses to do it in the shadows, the legendary guys may rarely survive.

However, as long as the guy who has crossed the threshold of legend, Mephistopheles has to avoid the edge for the time being. At least until he raised his accumulation to the same level as his own, he didn't have the qualifications to calculate the Legendary rank professional.

And the Legendary rank is not the top combat power of each church, at least every guy who can be called a Chosen One should have the strength of a demigod.

While both the Devil and the Devil belong to the Chaos faction, Mephistopheles is no match for the Demon.

Powerful demons descend on the material plane as projections, and whether they live or die has no effect on themselves. As for the low-level demons, their little pitiful brains couldn't hold any thoughts of weighing the pros and cons at all, and some only sabotage, sabotage, destruction.

Therefore, Mephistopheles' current need is not to jump out and make trouble, but to keep the light and keep the dark. At least before he gained the strength to compete with the gods, learning to use the order of the material continent would only be good for him.

There are various races on the material continent, but since the "Battle of Qiyuan", the richest land on the entire continent has become a habitat for human beings.

Compared to other races, humans have a myriad of shortcomings: they are inferior to orcs in terms of bravery, gnolls in fierceness, gnomes in creativity, dwarves in forging talents, cavemen in land farming, elves in magical talents, and goblins in fertility......

In this way, human beings, a race that has no outstanding characteristics, seem to be the "defective products" of nature, but the fact is that three-quarters of the land in the material continent today is in the hands of human beings, and some races can only retreat into the depths of the earth in order to survive.

It's not hard to understand, just change your way of thinking.

Humans are smarter than those who are fierce in their races, more productive than those who are good at magic, more creative than those who are good at forgers, more talented in magic than those who are good at forgers, better at forging than those who can cultivate the land, and braver than those who are quick to reproduce......

There are two sides to everything, and human beings may not have any special characteristics that can be called outstanding, but it is precisely this mediocrity that makes them the real masters of the material continent.

After the human race became the master of the material continent, the gods of the human god system began to develop rapidly, and the gods of the other god systems except for one or two race guardian gods are still there, and the others have fallen one after another in the god war with the human gods.

As far as the eye can see, the stars are almost all the thrones of human gods.

Needs are always relative, and while people need gods, gods also need people.

This is also the reason why Mephistopheles wants to hide behind the Morte family ********, you know, the nobility of this world is a force that is not inferior to the temple.

In the case of the frozen coast, it is only the nobles who do not want to have a single temple in this land after the fall of the goddess of winter.

A deity is a powerful being who has mastered certain rules and has been given certain authority.

It's not like Mephistopheles portrayed in her previous life: the power of faith is like a drug addict to the gods, and you can't even live without it.

If the ultimate goal of cultivation is only to turn oneself into a slave to some extent, then it is better to stay at the legendary level with ease.

All the gods of the physical world need is recognition, not recognition of them, approval of their teachings.

Doctrine is the knowledge of the gods about certain aspects of the origin of the world, and they are some superficial descriptions of the rules. Any believer who agrees with his teachings can provide a boost to the gods, a boost to help them parse deeper rules.

In the case of computers, for example, the Godhead of a deity is equivalent to an extremely powerful supercomputer, and every "approval" contained in the power of faith of the believer is an ordinary computer that helps the supercomputer share the computational pressure and scattered simple calculations.

Of course, you can't see anything in two copies, but once the number is large enough, it can increase the efficiency of the gods' analysis rules by several levels.

As for the power of faith after the "approval" is consumed, it will be used by the gods to dilute the divine power to the extent that the believers can bear it, and then feed it back to them.

Of course, this is what the pastor calls a blessing.

Therefore, what the gods need is believers who have their own ideas and agree with their own teachings, and they need the help of the spark of thinking of free souls. Believers who regard the gods as everything to the point of losing themselves are not pleased with the gods, and of course, there are no such foolish people in the material world.

As for those believers who cripple themselves when they have nothing to do, they will be directly removed from the ranks of believers by the gods. In fact, such fellows are generally poor creatures who have been bewitched by demons.

Each canon clearly states that all acts of suicide or brainless self-harm will be abandoned by the gods and disqualified from going to the kingdom of God, and many gods of the orderly and good camp have written the dogma "Do not deprive others of their lives without reason" in the canon.

In this environment, maintaining the order of human society has become the consensus of all gods. After all, only a stable society can give birth to a variety of ideas, and the environment of chaos and war is more suitable for the work of seducing demons.

There is a god of war in the astral plane, but even this god's teachings are not to incite people to wage war all day long. His teachings are more focused on the analysis of the causes of war and the pros and cons of war, and believers in this deity do not mind using the means of war to solve problems, but they are definitely not crazy people who want to start war all day long.

For the gods, the rules of analysis are primary, and this requires a stable form of society to achieve this.

This kind of thing must not be left to the church, because the gods do not have the energy to pay attention to these things, and once it is spread on a large scale according to the model of the church, then I am afraid that all believers will become idiots who can only memorize the doctrine.

After all, there is no comparison, so it is possible to truly understand the meaning of the doctrine.

Just like now, the temple would always give them training tasks before the trainee priest or trainee knight became regular. The purpose is nothing more than to let them see more, broaden their horizons, and understand the meaning of the doctrine at a deeper level, and preferably summarize their own things from it.

Therefore, the aristocracy must exist, and although the gods did not like these guys, they were far from being able to match the bishops and priests of the temple when it came to ensuring social order.

Moreover, it is impossible for other professionals in this world to agree with the ******** way of rule, because many of them are untrustworthy.

Punishment for the untrustworthy?

What god would dare to claim that, is it really a god of the will of the world, such as Io, the king of the gods, and the god of death in the underworld?

What's more, human beings have always been a race that eats soft rather than hard. There may be many individuals who bow their heads in the face of strength and savagery, but there are also many heroes and madmen who stand up in oppression.

Heroes don't need to say much, as for the madman......

In the year 237 of the Divine Calendar, a new bishop came to the temple of the goddess of harvest in a certain noble domain.

This is a young man of great vigor, because he is indeed a little older in the priesthood, and after he reported to the Church and asked to return to the Holy See, this young man had the privilege of coming here to take over.

He was so happy that he decided to do something that would surprise the Holy See.

In a sense, he did, just......

As soon as he arrived, the young bishop found a serious problem: the temple of the goddess was so dilapidated that the paintings on the walls of the temple had faded, and in some places the skin had even fallen off, except for the statues that had been preserved by the old bishop from time to time.

There were often children playing near the temple, but they were reluctant to come in and say a prayer to the goddess.

The young bishop was angry, not only because of the old age of the temple, but also because of the ungodliness of the populace. In addition to donating a small amount of grain to the temple during the annual harvest festival to thank the goddess for her blessings, only a few devotees come to pray on weekdays.

So, the young bishop decided to find a way to spread the glory of the goddess.

Soon, he came up with a great idea, and he decided to go and collect taxes from the local lords.

First, the tax money can be used to repair the temple of the goddess, and second, after the lord is suppressed, the people here must understand the majesty of the goddess.

As for the question of failure, the young bishop never thought about it. He was confident that he would succeed because there was a god standing behind him.

But what he didn't know was that the majesty of the gods had no effect on either type of people. On the one hand, there are heroes, like the "Sleeper" Lakumar and the Dead, and on the other hand, there are madmen, like the Count whom the young bishop will meet.
