Chapter 174: Golden Crow Sect
Three or four days have passed since I got the "Wanhua Mirror".
Gaining a wisp of "mirror" divinity from reversing Drum's fate brought a free attribute point, which he added to the "Soul Strength", which is currently 15 and 23 for body and soul respectively.
From experience, as long as the strength of the soul does not exceed 2 times the strength of the body, there will be no overload problem, and the ratio of his two attributes is still relatively reasonable.
Luke and Daxter's extraordinary silk thread business has begun to roll out in the past few days, although the planned ready-to-wear sales, hunger marketing and other measures have not yet been launched, but simply for the sale of some raw materials, Luke alone has already had a million revenue share.
It can only be said that women, especially women with extraordinary abilities, have really strong spending power.
However, according to the housekeeper of the Dast family, it is mainly because of the good publicity in the early stage, the extraordinary silk material market has been vacant for a long time, and this time it is equivalent to directly emptying the long-awaited purchasing power in the market once, and the income may be considerable in the future, but it is difficult to have such an explosive sales of millions in just one week.
On the other hand, even otherworldly transactions cannot escape the Federal Tax Service.
According to the housekeeper of the Daxter family, the IRS has its own extraordinary law enforcement team, and they also have a cooperative relationship with the Destiny School, and will regularly hire a large number of people from the Destiny School, borrowing Eniake to make predictions and deductions, and no dollar of tax will want to escape from the IRS.
It's almost tax season, and according to Luke's income in the past few months, he properly belongs to the high-income group, and he needs to pay 35% of the personal income tax, about 700,000 yuan in taxes.
Thinking of this money, Luke's heart ached, why was the hard-earned money of Lao Tzu siphoned off hundreds of thousands of dollars by the government of the Lighthouse Country as soon as he turned his head, I have eliminated the demons for the Lighthouse Country! I'm not convinced!
Fortunately, the housekeeper of the Daxter family is very powerful, and has proposed a lot of effective measures, such as letting Luke set up a company, and then reduce profits by purchasing equipment and fixed assets, and then obtaining tax incentives by providing jobs, etc., and listing more than a dozen tax avoidance methods.
In the end, Luke chose one of his favorite ways – to avoid taxes through religion.
The steps are simple.
The first step is to go to Albert and ask him to use the ability of the new model powerhouse to help the "Cult of Flames and Ravens" obtain the legal religious qualifications officially recognized by the Lighthouse Nation.
The second step is to give all the money to the church.
Come to an end.
In the Lighthouse Country, there is no need to pay taxes on religious income, and Luke only needs to put his small money in the church's account, and then report any expenses to the church.
As for the notes on the bill, such as "God bought a two-way plane ticket" and "God bought a sports car", it is up to Brett to use his subjective initiative to explain.
Luke called Albert to help coordinate the church certification, but before he could explain, Albert nodded in agreement.
It turned out that he had recently been planning a small church as well.
According to Albert, the most common and effective way to enhance divinity after entering the canonical level and being exposed to divinity is to establish a sect and absorb the power of faith.
At the same time, the establishment of a church tax exemption is also a kind of respect for the exemplary strong in the lighthouse state, which is probably similar to the fact that the gentry and officials of the Ming Dynasty did not pay taxes, after all, they are the foundation of rule.
However, depending on the strength, there is a limit to the power of faith that can be absorbed.
Just like Albert, because he has just advanced to the model, he can only accept the faith of a sect with less than a thousand people, and if he has more, the power of faith will change from a tonic to that product.
His plan was to establish a church that controlled the "god of muscles" that spread on a small scale, and to nurture the "dominiony" of divinity through the power of faith.
Albert knew that Luke had been exposed to divinity early on, and was not surprised that Luke was trying to start a church, but only reminded Luke not to indulge too much in the power of faith and let his spirit be polluted. Luke's request was simply agreed, saying that the procedures would be completed within a week.
Luke disliked that the name "Cult of Flames and Ravens" was too old-fashioned and not fashionable at all, so he renamed it "The Cult of the Golden Crow".
This name is a lot more advanced when you hear it, and the number of words is small, so you can write a few words less.
As Albert said, Luke often had a headache about the contamination of faith when he had not advanced to the hero level before, but he felt that the pollution was not particularly strong.
After advancing to the hero, you can't feel the negative impact of the power of faith at all.
This is a bit of a conflict with Albert's statement that the canonical level can only accept the belief of a thousand people. Luke thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue, and could only conclude that it was probably the Ability Tree that helped him share most of the pressure of his faith.
With a solution to the tax avoidance issue, Luke went to see how the sect was doing.
Although God and man have to keep a certain distance, the god of this world does not have to worry too much, and it is better to show miracles a few more times than anything else.
As soon as Luke stretched out his hand, he summoned the "Wanhua Mirror" from his body, and according to the connection of the thread of fate, he quickly found Brett's trace, and in the mirror, it seemed that he was walking on a street in Prosperity Town, and the route was to the temple.
The Pope is still very dedicated.
At present, there are already two members of the "Golden Crow Sect" renamed by him with extraordinary abilities, but the founder of this sect is still a mortal.
Moreover, he has been working diligently to develop believers during this period of time, and it is really a bit unreasonable not to give some reward.
Luke checked his divinity.
"Spider", "Crow", "Fear" and "Flame" each have one wisp, and "Mirror" has two wisps.
Among them, there are three kinds of divinity that can carry out the apocalypse: "fear", "flame", and "mirror".
There is nothing to choose for, the pope of the "Golden Crow Sect", of course, has to be the "flame" ability.
Luke injected spiritual energy into the "Wanhua Mirror", and as his mind was determined, a brilliant light wrapped him and disappeared in place, appearing beside Brett in an instant.
"Who!"
The sudden appearance of a figure around Britt startled Brett.
Although Prosperity Town is the base camp of the "Golden Crow Sect", and more than half of the residents here have joined the sect, they rose too late, and after all, it is not a cult, and it will not be rejected because others do not join the sect, so there are still many people who do not believe in it, or even hostile to the sect.
Walking on the road, someone suddenly appeared beside him, and he subconsciously thought that it would not be the opposition who came to beat me up.
Brett flashed back, looked intently, and saw that the man was unrecognizable, but familiar.
It's weird, take another look.
It's me Drip!
As soon as Brett weakened his knees, he was about to kneel.
You don't have to!
The education he received in his previous life made Luke very disgusted with the great gift of kneeling, after all, Zhang Muzhi said, "Stand up!" No kneeling! ”
So he will never kneel in front of others, and at the same time, he hates others kneeling in front of him.
(except Alan)
(Except if Maria likes it)
(Ashley ditto)
With a slight movement of Luke's telekinesis, he stopped Brett as he was about to lean over, and an invisible force made him stand up straight.
Feeling the power that existed in his body, the gaze in Brett's eyes became even more fanatical.
After all, extraordinary strength is the best pretending to be in the body, so in front of his own pope, Luke did not learn the extremely high way of speaking in mythology, pretending to be profound.
He let go of the shackles on Brett as if he were talking to a subordinate in the company, and said casually: "You have done a good job during this time, I have seen it all." ”
It's a very ordinary sentence, but the admission from the gods made the big man Brett a little aggrieved in an instant, his eyes were red, and then tears flowed down.
Obviously, I came first.
It doesn't matter if you believe in a god or if you start a sect.
As a result, people outside the two sects received divine revelations and supernatural powers, which devastated Brett that the gods were not satisfied with his work, and did not even care about the small sect he had established for him.
Fortunately, he has a strong ability to self-regulate, and coupled with the fact that the gods instructed two believers with extraordinary abilities to come here, he must have recognized the sect.
In such a self-brainwashing pious belief, although he had doubts and doubts in his heart, he still kept the sect in good order.
But people are such creatures, in the difficulties of not being understood and accepted, they can often become more and more courageous and stubborn, but once the people who value it say "good job" and "very hard" This kind of understanding and agreement will immediately explode with grievances, and they can't hold back no matter what.
Luke watched him vent his emotions from the sidelines, and after about four or five minutes, Brett collected his emotions, wiped his eyes, and said a little embarrassed, "Makes you laugh." ”
Luke smiled generously, "It's nothing, Brett, you've passed the test, and I'll give you the same in return." ”
With that, he slapped his right hand on Brett's shoulder, and the apocalypse of the "flame" divinity began to proceed along his mind.
In the Ability Tree, the golden light of the "Flame" divinity burst out and reflected in Brett's body, transforming his physical mortal body into an extraordinary body capable of controlling the power of flames.
Soon, the "Apocalypse" was completed.
Brett didn't get any bells and whistles, it was just simple fire control, with a small amount of physical enhancement and flame immunity, which was quite compatible with the identity of the "Golden Crow Sect" Pope.
Oh, by the way, although he changed the name of the sect without authorization, he still hasn't told his own Pope.
Thinking of this, Luke "coughed" twice, attracting the attention of Brett who was playing happily with a fire in his hand, and said, "Since I have officially recognized the sect, then other places should also be more standardized. ”
Hearing the gods' words, Brett extinguished the flame in his hand and listened carefully.
Luke continued: "First of all, the name of the sect, 'Raven and Fire' or something, is too arbitrary. ”
Seeing that Brett looked embarrassed, Luke comforted: "I don't blame you, after all, it's just a one-sided relationship, and it's not easy for you to establish such a sect." ”
"Later, the name of the sect was officially changed to 'Golden Crow Sect', the Golden Crow is the embodiment of the sun, and the black crow squatted in the center of the red sun, surrounded by golden light, so it was called 'Golden Crow', and the name and holy emblem of the sect in the future will be subject to this."
Brett nodded hurriedly.
"Prosperity Town is still too small after all, and in the next step, the sect should gradually develop towards Phoenix City, absorbing more devout believers, but don't force it. You are the Pope, Ashley is the Holy Maiden, Kent is the Knight Headmaster, and the three of you will decide on matters of the size of the sect. ”
After making these arrangements, Luke directly activated [Psychological Invisibility] and disappeared from Brett's field of vision.
After getting down to business, there are naturally other things to do.
The "Wanhua Mirror" shows Ashley now in a wooded area southeast of Prosperity Town, where a large field of crows fluttering and tossing around her, looking like an evil witch performing some strange ritual.
At such a distance, there is no need for teleportation with the "Wanhua Mirror".
Since harvesting the "Wanhua Mirror", he has put Halpie and the crows all into the mirror world of this mirror, the mirror is in his body, the crow is in the mirror, and no matter where he goes, he will never be lost.
Luke's mind seeped into the mirrored world, and Halpierre flapped his wings at will, and Luke leaped onto its back, only to be in the woods where Ashley was in three or five minutes.
Huge birds and beasts swooped down from the sky, and the terrible whimper that tore through the air carried an irresistible momentum, startling most of the crows around Ashley instantly scattered as birds and beasts, and fled around, only a dozen crows remained in place, and four of them, which were obviously several circles larger than other crows of the same kind, even took the initiative to launch a counter-charge in the direction of Halpier.
Although it can only be said that the mantis arm is used as a car, it shows that Ashley has a very good training effect on them.
Halpier flaps his wings, bypasses several crows that have been attacked by suicide, and arrives at Ashley's side.
Ashley seemed to know that it was Luke's mount, and did not panic at all, and when she saw Luke coming down, she ran over and hugged him, complaining, "Hey, badass! I managed to gather so many crows, and they were all scared away by you. ”
Luke didn't let her frighten him, and pinched her nose, "You still want to get me, I'm afraid there are more than a thousand crows raised by the sect in Prosperity Town, and you can gather them all back by just walking around." ”
Ashley carefully thought about being exposed, stuck out her tongue, whistled, summoned the four crows back, put her arms around Luke's neck and introduced: "This is my core guard, cultivated by the power of the apocalypse, they are completely obedient to my orders, and will take the initiative to protect my safety, they have an IQ similar to that of a junior high school student, their strength is almost the same as that of an adult man, and there is poison on their claws." ”
With that, she lets go of Luke and shows him the other abilities she has developed based on the Raven's divine apocalypse.
She jumped upwards with all her might, and a pair of black winged phantoms appeared behind her, slowing down her fall several times, and falling slowly like a feather.
The four crows stepped forward together and filled into the phantom, and under the influence of the power of the apocalypse, they merged with the phantom and disappeared without a trace, and the phantom instantly froze.
Ashley, who was slowly falling, flapped her wings and flew up, nimbly navigating around the jagged trees, rushing through the greenery, and circling twice over the canopy before landing.
Then the wings disappeared and the four crows reappeared.
"How?" Ashley looked up at Luke proudly.
Boy.
Luke said, "You, the crow god, are more authentic than me."
He briefly told Ashley about what he had told Brett about the future development direction of the "Golden Crow Sect".
Being able to go to Phoenix and be closer to Luke, Ashley said she was very happy.
With the support of the sect, Ashley has recently moved out of her home to live alone. After discussing the matter, the two returned to Ashley's house together to study how the saint completely dedicated herself to the gods, and how the gods bestowed the essence of divine power on the saints.
Nothing was said all night.
In the past two days in the field, I have been very busy, and I have not had time to code words, and I really haven't saved the manuscript. Hopefully tomorrow won't be sleepy
