For this goddess who appeared suddenly, but with such a chic image, Lin didn't care about the other party's excited action of almost stuffing the Hongyao-level magic stone into his nose. Instead, he took a step back and looked at the statue of the goddess in the temple, which was a normal human body, as plump as a mother, and his face was covered with a black veil in accordance with the traditions of the empire, and then compared to the one who came in front of him in person......

"Halfling?" Lin wondered.

Even if she doesn't have the ability to read minds, the female halfling's ability to read words and colors is also very high. He looked into someone's line of sight, saw his own god, and knew what the human in front of him was thinking. Say, "Do you like that one more?" Do you want me to be like that? Or do you have an opinion about halflings? ”

Halflings, gnomes, dwarves, goblins, and the four major races of the Lost Earth are only half the height of normal humans. Compared to magic, the talents of these four races are more suitable for taking the technological route. But for some reason, the technological development of Midi has not been very smooth.

The goblins are green, wrinkled, greedy, and uncivilized. If it weren't for the fact that there was no term for 'cancer' in the Lost Land, the uncivilized goblins would be considered the cancer of the Lost Land. Even if it is a civilized ethnic group, there are problems big and small, and they are not to be seen. And their technological strength is also the most jumpy, the strong are very strong, the weak are very weak, but they are also very insecure.

Dwarf, stout, lean, bearded. One of the Lost Ground warring races, second only to goblins in population, and good at metal processing processes such as blacksmithing, especially weapons and armor.

Gnomes, some jokingly call beardless dwarves. Scholar-oriented, good at delicate props, mechanisms and other objects. It is not as united as the dwarven clan, so the power in the lost land is not strong, and there are few heroes in history.

Halflings, very similar to gnomes, but more mediocre, have the advantage of being optimistic and knowing their fate. There's nothing particularly good at it, if anything, it's some life and farming skills. But compared to the dwarfs, the halflings may be weaker and know more about how to stay together, so they are quite united. Moreover, the halfling race has repeatedly given people unexpected surprises, and there have been several heroes in history.

As for the difference between a dwarf and a halfling? This question is probably mysterious, and there is no good answer. Some people believe that the two races are actually the same, but they have different values and deeds.

But in the eyes of a certain cross-section, a failed biologist who had only studied biology in high school, the difference between the two was the proportions of the body. Halflings, dwarves, and goblins are like humans who haven't grown taller. But dwarfs have short feet and long hands, and their body proportions are closer to those of gorillas, which is different from normal people.

This is also why when he saw the fat girl with a short figure in front of him, Lin would immediately recognize the other party as a halfling, and did not mistake him for a dwarf.

It's just that there are some racial differences in the land, and it's much more serious than the skin color problem of the earth. Therefore, as soon as he heard the interrogation of this god who came to the mortal world, of course Lin couldn't admit or not answer, it was like acquiescence. He explained: "Of course not, Your Majesty. I'm just curious why your image is different from your statue. ”

"It's simple. Because when they are looking for someone to sculpt a statue, they won't contact me to be a portrait model. It's just to create what they think is the most beautiful thing they imagined. ”

…… This is really a word to wake up the person in the dream. Although there are gods in the mysterious land, they do not appear in the world all the time. It's great to be able to make a voice and answer believers.

The gods prefer to keep a little mystery to the demons who like to manifest themselves in other ways. This is because the demon manifests itself and can terrorize humans with its vicious or ugly appearance. The gods remain mysterious because they reveal too much of their true image, which makes people lose their sense of awe and gain less power of faith.

All of this is done differently in response to their needs. Therefore, the image of the gods in the world is free to be played by the church on earth, and rarely takes the initiative to interfere. Think of the idolatrous religions on earth, the portraits and statues of the gods. Which one is not the creator who has perfected it through his own art by virtue of simple characteristic descriptions.

This, of course, is prone to distortion and discrepancy with the facts. And then the anti-customer is the mainstay, but it makes people forget the most primitive appearance. The most famous example is Zhang Fei of his hometown of the Three Kingdoms, who was a white and pure student who was a painter of the Taoyuan School, who was turned into a black-faced rough man by a romance, and then passed down through the ages......

Someone recalls the few temples he had visited in the Lost Land. Even though they serve the same master, the image of the god is different. It's just that this situation where even the race is wrong is deliberate? Or is it unintentional? After all, the world is dominated by human beings. So the human image would be more advantageous than the halfling image?

"If you don't like the way I look, I can be like that. For the face, is the overlay black gauze good, or what does it look like? The halfling goddess asked kindly. But it also has a little narrow eyes.

Lin rejected this person's 'kindness' and said, "Your Majesty, you are qualified to appear anywhere in your own satisfactory appearance. My reverence for you will not diminish in any way. I just think those idol-making bastards are misleading and make me a little angry. ”

"Huh." Ke Yin laughed cooperatively. "The unbeliever, in your mathematical parlance, if 0 is regarded as the smallest number, then no matter how much 0 is subtracted, it will still be 0. So don't use any reverence. I won't believe it, and you're sad to say it yourself. ”

Laughed a few times, and gently brought over this disrespectful topic. Lin then answered the goddess's initial question and said, "Your Majesty, you just asked about whether the magic stone is true or false, and this is a wrong question. It's just an implementation method, there is no question of truth or falsehood, and some are just feasibility. Since you came to me, I believe you also feel that the things recorded in this magic stone are promising, so you are in such a hurry. Then the real question should be, how to implement and promote this thing. ”

Regarding the words of the mortal in front of him, Ke Yin was quite unimpressed. He looked at the magic stone in his hand, and he just wanted to get a clearer message that the plan written here was indeed feasible, and that was it. And He got the answer He wanted, though not positively.

So He subconsciously threw the magic stone and said, "What's so hard about that?" At the same time, he turned and walked back, ignoring the astonished eyes of the young and old in the temple, and sat down on the altar.

The old priests wanted to rebuke this blasphemous impertinence. But it was His Majesty himself who sat on it, so is it still blasphemy? The old man couldn't turn his brain for a while, and he was struggling.

As for the younger group, they are either stupid or stunned. No one knows what to do, or even what kind of expression to make.

With the same sluggish expression, there is also the young member of the tax collector family who followed the temple and hid in the corner, Efron? Muha Shebesi. He would enter the temple completely unconscious, not intending to investigate anything. But when he saw God come down, he regretted it. There is no harmony between the divine power and the imperial power. And his identity should not be exposed to these.

If you want to say that the attitude is the most picky, there is no one who watches the play from beginning to end. He rarely sat quietly in the back row, and from the beginning of Ke Yin's arrival, his expression was indescribable disappointment, and he gradually became impatient. Now the goddess has some disagreeing attitudes, but instead arouses his interest. As if the long-awaited opportunity was about to appear, ready to kill the gods at any time.

On the other hand, seeing this goddess with such a careless attitude, Lin half sneered, half sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, things are not as easy as you imagined. I just asked, haven't there ever been anything like this? ”

Ke Yin, who was playing with the magic stone, was stunned. It is impossible to hide from Him what is obsessed with money. And the organization written in the magic stone, although it is more comprehensive and detailed, is indeed not unique in his perception.

In the past, some money movements have been used in a similar way. But the scale was so small that He wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't noticed. Moreover, it didn't take long for it to die without a single wave. It is even more insensitive to God than the daily prayers of believers.

Ke Yin therefore said: "It is true, but it was before. You didn't mention it, I haven't noticed. ”

"Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought."

"What do you mean?" Ke Yin asked puzzled.

"It means the thing I want to do—" Lin pointed to the magic stone again, "it's not that no one has tried it. And whatever was originally established does not exist today. I think the previous attempt could be considered a failure. So will Your Majesty still think that as long as this method is obtained, even if you lead a dog to follow it, will it be successful? ”

"That is, the method is flawed?" The goddess who felt that she was being tricked, showed a displeased look, like a sharp knife stabbing people. But then He himself denied: "No, it's not that the method is flawed, it's that there are difficulties outside of this method that are in the way." What is that? ”

Lin directly said the answer, "Simply put, inducement and trust. ”

"Explain clearly." Ke Yin no longer looks as eager as when he first came. Instead, it regained its true character as a god, a majesty higher than all things in the mortal world.

"The invention of money solves one of the most difficult things for both parties in the old barter trading method, that is, the items that can be exchanged are not necessarily the items I need. Money is a valuable intermediary that anyone can exchange for money and then find other people to exchange money for what they need. That's what the money is for. I believe that His Majesty understands better than I do. But money is not without its drawbacks, such as being an easy target for robbers or having difficulty transporting large quantities of coins. What I propose is a way to strengthen the use of money and improve its defects. If you leave your money in one place for safekeeping, you will be able to move to another place and then take it out without carrying a large amount of coins. It seems that anyone can do this, but why should rich people leave their money to others for safekeeping? How could he trust that this custodian would not take his money and disappear without a trace? That's what I call inducement and trust. ”
