Rafina's heart darkened, and this echoed her long-standing suspicions. Some pious civilians of the first generation did not obtain a single magic until they died. The descendants or relatives of the nobility can be sent auspicious visions from time to time. The nobles claimed that this was due to their noble bloodline, hmph, check the ancestors of their eight generations Q, not all of them were homeless thugs who took advantage of the situation to mix into the ranks of the nobles, and after two or three generations, they pretended to climb the bloodline and pretend to be noble. Why should the gods favor one over the other? In the past, I only dared to speculate a little, and I did not dare to have too many thoughts of slandering the gods. Today, when the real "pastor" said it, there was no psychological barrier, and I suddenly felt relaxed. Then he sighed and said, "I am only a little mage from a peasant girl, what power is there? You see that now they are all lost dogs, and there is nothing but an empty baroness's title, and it is impossible for other nobles to give us their domains." So it's good to be able to live, how can you use this method to obtain the power of the gods?"

Dong Q smiled and said, "This second type is to be a devout believer." This devout believer is not good, walking, sitting and lying must follow the teachings, and there must be no disobedience to the gods in his heart. Oh, you see, it's really uncomfortable to hone yourself like this for a long time, and finally lose yourself!" Seeing Ravena looking at himself in shock, Dong Q continued to smile and gush: "But! Don't think that if you make yourself into a humanoid golem, the gods will descend their powers! Think about it, how many old women and old men in this world are so devious to the gods that they almost shout the gods when they open their eyes, and thank the gods when they close their eyes. Even before eating, you have to chant for a long time and be grateful for a long time before you start. But when death is on the verge of death, I haven't even obtained a 0-order light technique!, so, piety is a necessary condition on this path, but it is not sufficient. You need another ability!"

Rafina had already been frightened by his irreverent words, Chinese Chinese a priest of a powerful god actually called the devout believer a "humanoid golem"! Wasn't he afraid of angering his own gods?

Dong Q looked at her with flickering eyes, stiff expression, and frightened appearance. He laughed more and more happily, and while he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he pretended to raise his hand mysteriously to make a megaphone, and said in a low voice: "If you can brag!"

This time it really scared Raphna: this priest is too bold! How could the god of the air element let such a person into the church and give him a powerful divine skill?! Could it be that he is a legendary "blasphemous priest"?!

But she had heard that the blasphemous priest was so powerful that he dared to steal even the power of the gods and the earth, and what else he did not dare to do?

So she pretended to be surprised and continued to ask, "Why brag?" but saw this powerful person who was suspected of "blaspheming the priesthood" chuckled and said, "It is usually the priest who gets the power, so why does God give the power to the priest?" What is the vocation of a pastor?"

Rafina hadn't really thought about it, and as he was talking, he continued: "The priest's vocation is to preach, to preach the teachings of the gods to all living beings, to make them revere the gods and live according to the wishes of the gods. Even giving wealth, body, and even soul for the sake of the gods. So the most important thing for a pastor is a pair of mouths and a pair of political eyes! He must be able to brag. He also blows up the majesty of God by blowing small successes into big successes and big failures into small failures, and he also blows the infinity of things that are beneficial to believers and infinitesimally small things that are unfavorable to believers. @3@@q@@Chinese@@首@@发@以提升教会的人气. Increase the income of the church. He also had to travel between the big and small lords to gain their political support, he had to travel to the rich and the like in the chamber of commerce to get their support in wealth, he had to lobby the close church for help, and even the hostile church to minimize the losses. If you look at the popes and high priests of the great churches recorded in the history books, which of them is not observant and eloquent? He has made great contributions to the expansion of the power of his gods on the earth. That's why you can get the highest divine skill!"

Seeing that Rafina had realized, he went on to say, "On the contrary." If you don't have a strong mouth, then let your heart be pious, how respectful your words and deeds are. It's hard to get the favor of others! When the time comes, rewarding you with your first- and second-order divine skills will be considered comforting and comforting, and giving you third-order divine skills will be considered the right thing to do! If you want to go higher? There are no doors! Unless you set up a temple in a key area and develop believers, the gods and spirits will not bother to pay attention to you. Look at the old priest of Mother Earth God in your territory, he has served Mother God diligently all his life, and he has always acted according to the scriptures, and he will be at a third-order level until he dies! Why? Because he is not able to win more believers for Mother God!"

Seeing that Ravena was pondering, he gushed out, "Look at that priest of Rodresquia. People are casually in their twenties. The young pastors who want experience but no experience, and who want merit but no merit, are all third-order! Why? It's not because the city is located in a key area. It is also a place where agriculture is extremely developed, so it requires a high level of divine skill to deal with everyday things. But it's hard to get into that kind of church, and you can't do it without backstage forces and the ability to play tricks. ”

Rafina's expression darkened, and she whispered, "I don't want to play tricks to gain power. As for entering the Great Temple, that would also be impossible

Dong Q smiled and said: "Then you have to be a fanatical believer, maybe, the gods will reward you with a little strength when they are happy." Before he could finish speaking, he heard Rafina ask in amazement, "Aren't fanatics very devout believers?

Dong Q laughed and said: "These two seem to be similar, but they are actually completely different! In fact, it has nothing to do with it! Even if you eat me and I eat you, you will not be able to stand on the other side!" Seeing that she was more and more puzzled, she patiently explained: "Religious believers either feel that the teachings of certain gods are close to them. They believe in the belief that they or others can live according to the doctrine, or they continue to believe in it because they have grown up in a church environment and find it very comfortable to live in this way. Either way, it's about getting yourself into a big environment you like to get some sort of satisfaction. For example, I remember in a history book that 800 years ago, the church of the mother earth goddess Artley and the god of nature, Sivannas, held a great debate outside the city of Woolworth, and the church of the mother earth god apparently could not argue with each other, and even the high priest of the church took the initiative to admit defeat. Just go out of the wolf bèi. Unbeknownst to them, the nearby farmers gathered together, rushed into the venue with farm tools and hunting tools, and even found a team of mercenaries to join the confrontation, not hesitating to fight to the death to protect the reputation of the Mother Earth God Church. In the end, the local lord intervened. But he also found an excuse to forcibly judge that Sivannas's church debate had lost! This matter is known to everyone in the world, but only the Mother Earth God Church still says that this debate is won by its own side3::q::Chinese::First::Send Have you ever wondered why? Why are those farmers more anxious than the pastors? If it is really their heart, why does Mother Earth God not give them divine magic?" Seeing that Rafina was speechless, he said leisurely: "Because they are not defending the gods. It's just defending a certain ** in her heart!!! Mother Earth God Church represents the interests of the land is agriculture, farmers and even lords, so it is natural to stand on her side. As for the real right or wrong, they don't really care. In the end, they are just using the gods to satisfy themselves! It's just that they don't even understand this mentality, or even if they do, they deliberately pretend to be confused!"

Raphna's mind was in disarray, and she had not studied much of faith in the first place. Now that I have heard the other party say so categorically, I feel that there is some truth. The expression was even more confused. So he stammered and asked, "What is the difference between such a fanatical believer?"

Dong Q Ning Sheng said: "There is an essential difference between fanatics and devout believers! Although devout believers believe in gods, they believe that they should act according to the scriptures. However, they may not be willing to overthrow the pre-existing system and establish the so-called kingdom of God on earth. Because first, the risk is too great, and if they don't do it well, they will be attacked by a group, and second, they also know that this kind of thing is extremely difficult to do. As a result, they tend not to rebel against the pre-existing institutions, laws, and forces, but to change slowly and subtly. I really can't change it, forget it. But fanatics are different! They can ignore the law, ignore other human relationships, and even ignore beautiful things, and use the most brutal force and the most despicable means to achieve it for the sake of the ideals in their hearts. It is not that some high pastors of good churches openly declare in their writings that if lying brings glory to our God, then we need not reject lies. This is a typical example, ignoring the most basic principles of the world for the sake of ideals. The mouth shouted: One qiē for God. I still feel a clear conscience when I do anything dirty in my hands. This is very difficult for the devout to do! At least the devout ones don't intend to break the basic principles. So the peaceful gods like the devout and the fanatical, and the tyrannical gods like the fanatics and don't like the devout. Of course, that's another topic. In short, fanatics ignore the rules of the world and even try to change. And the devout believers may not be willing. There is a contradiction between the two. ”

Rafina nodded to show that he understood the difference. Dong Q continued, "But don't think that if you are crazy, the gods will give you power. I've seen quite a few examples in the history books of someone who occasionally received magical abilities from the gods. He thought that God had ordered him to die, and he grabbed some points in the scriptures and bit them to death, insisting that everyone can live according to this scripture and the world can be peaceful. And then he acted perversely, ignoring the law and customs, and even tried to completely overthrow the existing system without doing his best. As a result, despite all his mental strength, exhaustion of money, and mutilation of his body, he did not obtain a higher divine skill until he died. However, if you read carefully, you will find that only a very small number of successful or almost successful people have been given higher level divine arts. Have you ever wondered why?"

Rafina shook her head, she hadn't even noticed this kind of thing.

But seeing the other party, he sighed and said: "Because these fanatical believers shout that they are for a certain god, but in fact, they are still for themselves! They are extremely dissatisfied with reality, so they want to use the power of the gods to gather their accomplices to change reality." The higher the Cheng dù who is dissatisfied with reality, the higher the Cheng dù who is fanatical. But here's the thing. The gods themselves may not intend to directly confront the existing institutions, laws, and customs, or they may want to do so, but the time has not yet come, and they do not want to make a big move. Or maybe the time has come, but this fanatic is not going to be able to do much. In short, due to many reasons, the gods and men have different intentions, so they do not give higher divine arts, otherwise the fanatical believers will not only not be helpful, but will also attract the hostility of other forces because of their reckless behavior, and mess up their own position. Only the right fanatics who started things at the right time and in the right place were given divine magic. Because at this time, the plans of both gods and men are basically the same, and they need to give this fanatic believer divine magic to fulfill their wishes. ”

When Rafina heard this, he couldn't help but feel a great fear in his heart, and his legs and feet trembled slightly: the tone of such a blatant discussion of how the gods were. In normal times, that would be deviant and blasphemous! Even a high-ranking mage would not openly tell such a truth!

Why did he dare?!

With a mixture of doubtful horror, she tried her best to pretend to be indifferent, and barely squeezed out a smile and asked, "What about the fourth one?"

Dong Q said leisurely: "This fourth type is relatively rare. I call it orthodoxy. ”

Rafina wondered in his heart: "Orthodox? Aren't the previous places true? Devout believers and fanatical believers are true believers." Only pan-believers are not true believers. ”

However, he saw Dong Q waving his hand again and again: "No, no, no, devout believers and fanatical believers can only be regarded as true beliefs, not true beliefs, and the two seem to be the same, but in fact there are fundamental differences, just like a fish and a whale seem to touch each other, but in fact they are completely different! Righteous believers believe in what they want and what they don't get. Seeing that Rafina was even more confused, his eyes were full of confusion. Then he said directly: "When the first two believed, they secretly had this thought in their hearts: this doctrine is in line with my heart, joining this religion will be of great help to me, this god can be relied on, etc., all of them have something to ask for, and they also want to get something. I only know and agree with the doctrine but I don't know why, or I know a little about it, but it is not profound. Righteous believers, on the other hand, do not think about it, and when they study the scriptures, they will have this thought: Why does the gods preach such doctrines, and where does the idea of the gods come from? Because of this thought. When they act according to the scriptures, they observe the changes and connections of all things externally. After inwardly examining the changes and choices in my heart, I finally seized the slightest opportunity to fully understand why the gods were like this. This kind of person is the Holy Spirit as ordinary people see. ”

Rafina suddenly realized. There are times in history that such characters do not have great ability or reputation when they are alive. I didn't see that it had a great contribution to the church, but before he died, he was personally sent down by the gods with great power and vision, and directly ascended to the kingdom of God with the power of the earth, without going through the path of the underworld, and was not subject to the judgment of various gods of the underworld and death. The treatment is straight to those of the Pope, the High Priest. Moreover, it is said that after the soul of such a person ascends to the kingdom of God, he will be directly promoted to the head of many gods, and his honor and status even exceed that of those souls of the pope and the highest high priest! This is the Holy Spirit known to ordinary people, and this kind of person may be a priest, or a holy warrior, or an unknown ordinary believer. Of course, there are many Holy Spirits who are deceased popes or high priests.

Then Rafina asked, "But the gods have not given these spirits a higher divine skill." ”

Dong Q smiled: "You believe what you want, so you don't understand the key." Believers do not believe in a god for the sake of power or profit. The gods are not givers or givers, but fathers and mothers, teachers, friends, or even themselves!"

This is even more deviant! How can anyone compare himself to a god? But Rafina suddenly understood something: could this be the man?

However, he listened to the other party's calm tone and calm expression: "Righteous believers need gods, but they need not the power of gods, but the guidance of gods! They have dreams, but they are confused and helpless in the world, and cannot find their own direction of action; they have ideas, but they are greatly affected by worldly disputes, and their hearts are shaken, and they do not know whether to persist or give up." So they turn to the gods, but not to the gods to give them strength, because they want the gods to give them spiritual guidance, so that they can still hold their faith without giving up under any difficult conditions, and this faith is the purest! and the closest to the essence of the gods!"

Rafina was confused: "Hold on to your beliefs under any difficult conditions?" ”

Dong Q shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems to be the same, but in fact it is completely different! Didn't I say it? The most important basis for the firmness of a fanatical believer is dissatisfaction with reality or a strong desire, and it is rooted in certain external things; while the firmness of a righteous believer is based on its own understanding and choice, which is rooted in one's own heart! External things change from time to time, and if you are a fanatic believer today, you may become a pan-believer tomorrow, and you may even throw yourself into the hostile camp the day after tomorrow. You see how many fanatical paladins have ended up becoming black warriors in this long history, and how many black warriors have ended up becoming holy warriors. This is the appearance of faith based on external things. As external things change, so do your own experiences, which leads to a change in your understanding and then your beliefs. Therefore, whether it is a devout believer or a fanatical believer, it is like a hot liquor to the gods, although it is very exciting, but there are too many impurities and there is quantity but no quality, and it may not be refreshing to nourish the body. On the contrary, it is a true believer, like the most mellow and luscious wine, that is really suitable for your taste. ”

He had already begun to preach some of his views on the gods, but Rafina, a rookie, was unaware of it, and still asked curiously: "Then why don't the gods help the righteous believers, or let the righteous believers lead the church? ”

Dong Q laughed and said, "It seems that your understanding of world affairs is still insufficient." Some things are not as simple as they seem. Righteous believers may not be good administrators and disseminators, not to mention the true ideas of the gods that few ordinary people can understand? Forcibly promoting it is only afraid that it will be harmful to the church. As for whether to give strength to righteous believers, it depends on the situation. For example, three hundred years ago, the lord of Q named Mahadan, who believed in nobility and patron gods all his life, but the gods did not answer any of his prayers. In the end, his territory was broken by the enemy, and he insisted on resisting until the end of the battle. From the beginning to the end, the nobleman and guardian god Sienworth did not give him the slightest help, not even the lowest-ranking priest apprentice! But as soon as he died, a mountain-like colorful cloud immediately appeared in the sky above his castle, which showed a giant gate of the kingdom of God that was taller and more magnificent than the castle, and when the black iron giant gate was opened, the thunder in the sky rolled as if the mountains had collapsed, and then countless green-skinned mastiff-headed gods flew out, as if no one was driving the four-colored clouds and flew down next to his corpse, just said a few words to the corpse that others could not understand, and then his soul rose from the corpse, from head to toe four colors of light bloomed like a rain, and it became the Holy Spirit directly。 After that, he didn't kill the enemy next to him to take revenge, and followed a group of mastiff-headed gods to fly into the giant gate and the like. Then the vision in the sky suddenly dissipated, like an illusion that was fading away. Later, it was recorded that this man had become the archangel second only to the god Sienworth. Haven't you thought about it?"
