Chapter 30: The Knights' Invitation
It has been nine days since Li Yu installed the two miniature cameras for Yin Leiya, and it has been nearly a month since the universe where Miss Rabbit is located.
However, the mysterious assassin did not reappear in the past month, as if he had smelled danger in advance, and disappeared without a trace.
But Li Yu is not in a hurry, since that guy is lurking in the castle with all his scheming, it is impossible to just put a note and disappear, sooner or later there will be another move.
Li Yu didn't mind comparing patience with the other side, anyway, it would take him three days to live one day, and after the monitor was installed, it would be a matter of replacing the battery every once in a while, and it wouldn't waste any time and energy if it was consumed.
In fact, Li Yu's attention quickly shifted to other things, and after the first initiation ceremony, he found that he still had a lot of work to complete.
First of all, in terms of process, from Hera's reaction, the initiation ceremony was generally relatively successful, but there is still some room for optimization in the details.
Rituals may sound ethereal, but it's not something your girlfriend needs.
A strong sense of ritual can be etched for a lifetime and feel the call of a certain sense of sacred mission.
Take the most common wedding in modern society, for example, the moment when the couple exchanges diamond rings and says their vows or completes the worship will make many people feel a certain connection that will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
In the future, when the husband and wife have a quarrel and encounter an emotional crisis, recall those ritualistic moments again, and it may even be possible to save a crumbling marriage.
The same is true of religion, and a good initiation ceremony will help to increase the loyalty and sense of belonging of believers.
Therefore, those dazzling symbols and steps are essential.
According to Li Yu's observations, the symphonic version of "What a Beautiful Jasmine" works well, and when this piece sounds, Hera's emotions are obviously mobilized.
It's no wonder that modern directors like to insert BGM in movies when they have nothing to do, especially when the script and performance quality can't keep up, they can only rely on music to save the scene.
Well, maybe next time you can consider bringing another projector over and adding the image part.
Li Yu took out his notebook and recorded this thought.
As for the setting of religious names and bracelets, they are also common in major religions, such as the Dharma name and Buddha beads in Buddhism, the Taoist name and Ruyi, and the Christian name and cross.
The former often signifies a new birth, different from the past self. The latter is mostly used as a ritual instrument for spiritual practice, and at the same time, it also has a symbolic meaning, and is often associated with the myths and legends of the religion, and is used by believers to identify themselves.
The reason why Li Yu finally chose the silicone bracelet as the identity proof of the believers is also very simple.
First of all, because the silicone bracelet is unique enough in this world, it has obvious recognition, and more importantly, it is cheap enough, 1688 on nine cents a piece, large-scale wholesale price is estimated to be able to go down, and it will not be unaffordable if there are more people in the future.
In addition, it can also directly distinguish the rank of the position in the church by color, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, just like the rarity of equipment, which looks very intuitive.
Hera was the first believer Li Yu received, and she definitely wanted to enjoy some preferential treatment, so Li Yu directly promoted her to the next level on the spot.
Of course, the bracelet alone is not enough, and he needs to weave the silicone bracelet into the myths and legends related to Saturday to give it some kind of sacred meaning.
In addition, the first version of the doctrine is still very thin, and some key issues, such as the answer to the ultimate question of death and the universe, how to integrate science more smoothly into the entire religious system, and avoid the recurrence of Bruno's tragedy in the future, etc., also need to be solved urgently.
However, the immediate priority is to quickly recruit the first batch of believers to help build the territory.
Li Yu has no clue about this matter for the time being, Hera's situation is more special, the little girl desperately wants to get rid of her current miserable life, and when she sees a life-saving straw, she wants to desperately grab it, which is basically given by herself.
But others, especially adults, don't change their minds so easily.
It seems that there is something else to be thought of.
Because it was the first time for Li Yu to engage in this kind of work, he was also a little inexperienced, so he could only learn by doing, and on Sunday he went to the library again to consult relevant materials and literature.
On the other side, Yin Leiya's life has become more and more nourishing during this time, and she has a sense of being extremely Tailai.
After being deceived and embarrassed to escape, Miss Rabbit finally became the lord of the green field as she wished, and successfully survived the financial crisis with Li Yu's pepper trade every twenty days.
At the same time, at the suggestion of Li Yu, she began to mend some of the relationship with her relatives during this time, and the atmosphere in the castle was also much more harmonious for a while.
In addition to the fact that there is still an inner response that has not been found, Yin Leiya feels that her life is about to be completed.
On this day, she was counting the small money she had earned in the past month, when the new manager, Yago, knocked on the door.
Miss Rabbit reluctantly put down the gold coins in her hand, put them back in the bag, cleared her throat, and said, "Come in." ”
Yago pushed open the door and walked in quickly.
He is much younger than Fausto, less than forty years old this year, and has a habit of being vigorous and vigorous, but he also has a problem of not paying much attention to detail.
In Fausto's words, he is a bit rough, but he comes from the family of Yolanda, Yin Leia's mother, and has known Miss Rabbit's guardian knight for a long time, and is impeccable in his loyalty.
Fausto's retirement was imminent, and the position of manager could not be vacant, so the girl interviewed several candidates and finally chose Yago.
"What's the matter?" Miss Rabbit had just drawn plenty of energy from money, so she looked refreshed at this moment.
"Purple Finch, Golden Serpent and several other knights have sent a letter inviting you to visit their mines, it has been more than a month since you became the Lord of the Green Fields, but for some reason you have not held a banquet to declare your rule over this land.
"But your people have long heard of your beauty, your wisdom, your courage, and your kindness, and they are all eagerly eager, young and old, to see your heroism.
"I think this is a good opportunity for you to agree to the requests of the knights, go out of the castle, and show your face in front of the lords, which will also help you win the hearts of the people, a good lord must be loved by his lords."
