Chapter 380 [Darling's Means]

Chen Daolin stood by the fire, his snow-white robe with fluttering sleeves, and in the sleeve of his robe, there was an Apple MP3 quietly playing, and the song was playing in a loop.

And the sound of this song, through one of his amplification magic, wafted from the hillside, spread throughout the camp, and fell on the ears of almost everyone!

The female voice in this song sang higher and louder, and in the end, that awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring taste hit everyone's heart heavily......

Most of human nature is the same, and the more mysterious and incomprehensible it is, the more awe it will be in people's hearts.

Seeing the employers, these noble people, all gathered around the fire, stood awe-inspiring, and listened to the song in an almost reverent manner, as if some kind of sacred and inviolable ritual was being carried out. The people at the foot of the hill also gradually stopped moving, some of them were timid, they cowered in the corner and did not dare to make a sound, and some of the bolder ones just stretched their necks and looked curiously, and at the same time curiously listened to the singing of the female voice.

......

As the song became longer and longer, the bonfire in the middle began to sway slowly, and Chen Daolin secretly used the fire technique to control the flame, so that the flames began to rise into the air, like a dazzling dazzling eye, constantly bursting out of dazzling light.

At this moment, there is that peculiar female singing as the background, and there is the pious and strict attitude of these "nobles" in it. And the flame rose into the air and turned into a dazzling light.

This scene is naturally full of mysterious appeal, unconsciously. It left a deep impression on the hearts of many people.

About ten minutes later, Chen Daolin quietly lowered the volume of the MP3 in his sleeve until it was completely turned off.

Then he pulled the people around him, and everyone gathered around the bonfire, turned back and forth a few times, and made a few bowing gestures to the bonfire, and finally sat down again.

Seems. A solemn and mysterious ritual came to an end.

......

"Darling......" Barossa sat next to Chen Daolin, her little face flushed by the bonfire. couldn't help but whisper: "You...... What the hell is that song you just made? What a strange tune......

Chen Daolin laughed, reached out and touched Barossa's hair, and gently stretched it over his arm. Take the elf into your arms and hold it. Only then did he whisper, "Is this...... In my hometown, it's a 'Divine Comedy'......"

"Divine Comedy?" The elf blinked a few times, was curious for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper, "We...... If we act like this and lie to those people, will we, will it not be very good......"

Chen Daolin pursed his lips and did not speak.

......

The next day. Under Chen Daolin's deliberate arrangement, some news gradually spread among the teams in a hurry.

Thereupon. Everyone has heard some "rumors" intermittently.

It turned out that the nobles who hired them were all religious devouts - especially since what made everyone wonder was that these people did not believe in the goddess of the Temple of Light, the state religion of the Roland Empire.

Of course, when everyone heard this rumor, most people were just surprised, and they didn't have much other ideas.

This point is also Chen Daolin's foreshadowing.

First, in Nulin Province, located in the northwest and adjacent to the territory of the Tulip family, it has always been the weakest area of the Temple of Light. In the northwest region, the religious belief of the Temple of Light has been difficult to spread, and after a hundred years of influence of the tulip family, it can be said that in the northwest region, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the goddess. The religious rate was also the lowest in the entire Roland Empire.

Second, when recruiting these craftsmen to labor, in fact, Chen Daolin had quietly instructed to try to recruit those who did not believe in the goddess of light. To do this is as simple as asking a casual question when recruiting. Those who were religious were rejected by the recruits for various reasons.

Of course, there are too many people, there are always mistakes in the work, and there are definitely fish that slip through the net. But at least one thing is certain, among the nearly 10,000 people recruited by Chen Daolin, there are very few people who believe in the goddess of light.

......

Probably because of the "liveliness" I saw last night, which aroused the curiosity of many people, coupled with the secret influence of Chen Daolin, all kinds of "rumors" slowly spread among the team.

"It is said" that these nobles believe in a special god, they are believers, they like to wear white clothes, and they are very benevolent and kind, and there are people who have occasionally come into contact with those nobles, all of whom say that these nobles are very kind to people and have a friendly attitude, not at all like those rich nobles in Mulan City.

For three days in a row, every night when camping, Chen Daolin would choose some places with relatively "special" terrain rings.

Then, every night, Chen Daolin would perform this "religious prayer ceremony".

After three days, although everyone still hasn't figured out what religion these nobles believe, but after listening to it for three nights, the mysterious female voice sings, but there are many people, although they still don't understand what the lyrics sing, but they can already hum a few words.

On the fourth day, Chen Daolin's performance went one layer deeper.

During the day, when he was on the road, he would ride his horse back and forth in front of the procession.

With so many people and such a chaotic team, there will always be some big and small situations.

Some people will walk and sprain their feet, some people will fall and break their legs, and they will trek for days on end, and there will always be some headaches and brain fever and other things happening.

If it is changed elsewhere, then these grassroots people can only endure it silently by themselves, anyway, it is a cheap life. I gritted my teeth and carried it myself.

And this "old man" is very merciful.

I saw him wearing a snow-white robe, always with a gentle and kind smile on his face, and laughing with snow-white teeth. Walking back and forth in the procession, if you see someone injured in the leg or foot, or see someone sick and tired, this old man will rush to the sky like a savior and appear beside people.

He has a magical ability, which is simply a miracle rejuvenation. With a little exertion, people's injuries and illnesses will be greatly improved immediately.

Such acts of kindness are naturally appreciated. In the face of those warm words of gratitude, the noble man only smiled gently and left a sentence: "Don't thank me, thank the true God." This qiē is the power of the true God. ”

All right. This sentence can be described as extremely false, if Chen Daolin dared to pretend to be a ghost in the real world, he would have been sent to see the police uncle a long time ago.

But this is Roland's world.

A feudal civilization is destined to have a low cultural popularization rate, and the people's knowledge and literacy are not high......

Feudal civilization! What else can you do if you don't engage in cover superstition?!

Chen Daolin did good deeds everywhere, and every time he repeated this sentence, after a long time, it naturally spread among this team.

Although I still don't know what religion this old man believes. But everyone has at least no objection to the "true god" that this old man believes in. There is even a bit of respect.

Although Chen Daolin spent a lot of magic power to perform healing techniques everywhere for three consecutive days, he was still very satisfied with the rumors that spread in the team.

The climax of the event happened on the seventh day!

During the day, while on the way, there was a commotion among the ranks.

The horses pulling the cart in another carriage suddenly broke free from the reins and ran, only to be hit head-on by the horse, and even more trampled twice by the horse's hooves. When the mercenaries who arrived stopped the frightened horse, the wounded man was already dying.

This happened on the road, and naturally it quickly attracted a lot of onlookers.

The wounded man was a middle-aged carpenter, lying in the middle of the road, his face covered in blood, especially on his chest, which had obviously been trampled by a horse and had broken his sternum, and one of them was sunken - with the medical standards of the Roland Empire, this kind of injury would not have survived at first glance.

The middle-aged carpenter's wife and son sat on their knees around him, wailing, especially his young son, whose eyes were red, and he was about to pull out his knife and fight with the groom in charge of driving the cart, and then he was pressed to the ground by the mercenaries who maintained order.

Seeing that the injured carpenter had more air in and less breath, he was about to die......

At this time, our benevolent and kind Lord Darling finally appeared.

He came in a white coat with a sad expression on his face, separated the crowd, and slowly walked to the carpenter lying on the ground.

Many people have seen or heard of this noble man's "magical ability", the carpenter's wife immediately wailed, threw herself at Chen Daolin's feet and begged him to lend a hand to save people, and many onlookers around bent down to salute, asking this old man to perform merciful skills......

Chen Daolin let out a long sigh, sat down next to the carpenter, and gently held one of the carpenter's hands.

Quietly, a healing technique was slowly injected into the carpenter's body.

The carpenter, who had been unable to speak, suddenly opened his eyes, and although he was still dying, he tried to say something intermittently.

"Don't rush. Chen Daolin's voice sounded benevolent and steady, and his voice was deliberately loud and full of energy, so that everyone around him could hear it: "You are really seriously injured...... And I want to save you, but it's hard. ”

The carpenter's wife and son suddenly kowtowed again and again, breaking the door of their heads, and begged anxiously for something.

Chen Daolin stretched out his hand to support them, and said slowly and loudly: "Although I have a way to save people, this spell was given to me by the gods I believe in. This kind of life-saving spell can only be used on believers of the true God...... It's not that I won't save you, it's just that this spell can only cause a reaction in the believers of the true God, and only the believers of the true God can be blessed by the true God......"

Saying that, Chen Daolin deliberately looked at the family with expectant eyes.

The family was already confused, and they just begged when they looked at Chen Daolin.

Fortunately, there were smart people among the onlookers, and I immediately heard someone shouting in the crowd, "Don't cry!" Only by believing in the true God can you be saved! What is the use of you begging now! Didn't you hear what the master said! Hurry up and believe in the true God, and only then can you get the protection of the divine law!"

This sentence woke up the carpenter's family, and the carpenter's wife and children did not wait for Chen Daolin to speak. He immediately hurriedly asked, "Master, we are willing to believe in God!!......! How can we believe in God?"

Chen Daolin didn't look at them, but turned his head to look at the carpenter, held his hand, and said slowly: "Now I ask you, if you believe in the true God, you will be all faithful." All fear, all sustenance to the true God, are you willing?"

At this moment. With his life on the horizon, where does this carpenter dare to hesitate?

Not to mention any kind of ethereal faith, even if he is asked to exchange all his belongings now, I am afraid that there will be no half of it!

I can't tell the carpenter enough. Just desperately trying to nod his head. Ahhhhhh

Chen Daolin nodded with satisfaction.

He stretched out his thumb in a fake way, pricked it slightly, and wiped a drop of his blood on the carpenter's forehead and eyebrows, and then held the carpenter's hand, and said something in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was singing.

It's just that in the eyes of the people around, this is probably some kind of initiation ceremony.

......

Chen Daolin rescued a dying carpenter during the day, and this incident caused quite a stir in the team!

Many onlookers said excitedly to the people around them. He said that he had seen with his own eyes that the carpenter was about to die! As a result, in the hands of that noble man, after completing the initiation ceremony. The noble master performed a magic spell, and the god blessed it, and the carpenter came to life when he saw it!

In just a few moments, I can get up alive!!

No matter what era and place, the cherishing and pursuit of life is the same.

Chen Daolin's performance today undoubtedly laid a foreshadowing among these 10,000 people:

Believe in My God and you will have the security of life!

Of course, what Chen Daolin did was naturally not so simple!

In the afternoon of the same day, after the brigade stopped and camped, before dark, many people saw that Chen Daolin sent his men to the team, took the carpenter's family of three from the team, and took them to the bottom of a hill where these nobles were camping.

Then, in full view of everyone, Chen Daolin personally gave three snow-white robes to the carpenter's family of three.

The carpenter's family of three knelt in front of Chen Daolin and accepted his "ceremony" and "baptism", even the carpenter's wife and son.

Subsequently, the carpenter's family put on snow-white robes.

With it, there is also their identity and status!

The carpenter's family no longer camped with the other craftsmen who were on the same team.

They were given the privilege of camping next to the hillside closest to where the nobles were staying, next to the camp of the lords.

And for dinner in the evening, I was also divided into a pot of hot broth.

Even that night, when the nobles began their routine prayer ceremony around the bonfire in the evening, the carpenter's family of three, under the personal leadership of Montoya, stood at the foot of the hillside and made a fire by themselves, and Montoya taught them to worship and pray around the fire.

Although the carpenter's family of three is still at a loss, like puppets, they do what Montoya taught them one by one - although their hearts are still confused, the benefits are real!

When they set out on the road the next day, they were no longer on foot with the artisans, but were able to get into a carriage.

And the identity of that carpenter has also been promoted to the leader of the craftsman team where he is located.

Food and shelter have been improved, and they have also been arranged around the nobles, and even the mysterious "religious prayer ceremony" has been joined by the carpenter's family of three.

There is no doubt that this kind of thing has left another impression in everyone's hearts: if you join my religion, you will become the "own people" of the old nobles.

On the eighth day, a person who was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake was once again collected by Chen Daolin as a "disciple" before he died.

That night, the lucky man was treated like the carpenter's family, and there was a small tent and a bonfire on the hillside where the nobles were staying.

On the ninth day, there were several sick patients who were treated by Chen Daolin. plucked up enough courage and courage to make a request to Chen Daolin to "want to join the church".

Chen Daolin immediately satisfied these people.

That night, there was an additional tent on the side of the hill where the camp was held, and there were more people worshipping around the campfire.

On the fifteenth day of the journey. There were already more than 20 "Protestants" dressed in white in various places in the ranks.

These people have greatly improved their status in the ranks, and they are allowed to live under the nearest hillside of the old man during the camp every day, and they can have their own campfires, tents, and those noble lords can pray around the campfire and listen to the "praise of the gods".

The food they ate was also given by the old men, and they were allowed to travel in horse-drawn carriages.

Most importantly. These more than 20 people have been appointed as the leaders of their respective teams.

Chen Daolin announced that they had the authority to give some orders to their team. Make some arrangements, and if there is a dispute or something like that on the road, they also have the power to adjudicate.

After another three days, Chen Daolin summoned these twenty "Protestants" to his side. One thing was announced to them: to better serve the true God. He needed these twenty to recruit a hundred 'divine servants' in his ranks.

He told the twenty "Protestants" that the hundred divine servants they recruited would be treated second only to them, and that they could stay closer to the hillside and pray together. You will get more food every day, but you can't ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

And these "servants of God" are under the command of these twenty "Protestants."

Speaking of which, it roughly means: recruit a hundred divine servants. And these 100 divine servants can be promoted, but only after these "Protestants".

No doubt. It doesn't matter if you really believe in your heart, or if you just want to improve your treatment. The quota of 100 divine servants was quickly filled by those who enthusiastically signed up.

Moreover, these "Protestants" who were responsible for recruiting divine servants fully enjoyed the superiority of "human superiority" in the process.

However, in just over 20 days, all kinds of rumors about the "true god" in this brigade have become more and more blocked, and when people mention it, their words have become more and more respectful, more and more awe-inspiring, and even faintly yearning.

Especially, when you brave the wind, brave the scorching sun, walk on the ground with a pair of feet, eat dry food and drink cold water, and stay in the open air at night...... And look at those "Protestants" and "divine servants" who can wear clean white robes, eat meat and drink soup, live under the hillside, have tents and campfires, and even have people to serve......

Moreover, he has become the leader of his own team and can give orders to himself...... Everybody has to please them and show them respect......

This yearning is getting stronger and stronger!!

......

"Your Excellency...... I just don't understand. Montoya was completely impressed by Chen Daolin's methods: "You...... I believe that if we start openly proselytizing and accepting believers now, at least half of the 10,000 people will rush to ......."

Speaking of this, the Holy Knight couldn't help but be a little worried: "But...... Now it seems that many people are just eye-catching the superior treatment we offer, and those who are recruited by us are getting better treatment and status. I fear that this belief is not religious......"

Chen Daolin laughed, he glanced at the Holy Knight, and didn't explain much.

Only he knows what a powerful killer he is!!

Pick the first twenty "new believers" and give them the best treatment.

Then a hundred "servants of God" gave them subordinate treatment.

The "new believers" directly obey the orders of a noble man like himself. The servants of God, on the other hand, are to obey the commands of the "new believers."

From top to bottom, the treatment is decreasing layer by layer, and the power and status are also decreasing layer by layer.

What is it?

That's what it is......

Class!!!

In a very short period of time, among these 10,000 people, Chen Daolin built a simple "class system"!

And unconsciously, all these people were included in this "system"!

Whether it is a new believer or a servant of God, these people have become the first "beneficiaries of the system"!

And in the future, there will be more people who take the initiative to enter this "system" because of envy and yearning!!

And once the system is established, it will have a law that cannot be broken!

Anyone, whether he enters the system first or later, once he becomes a "beneficiary of the system", then no matter whether this person sincerely believes or is just driven by interests, as long as he is in the system and becomes a beneficiary of the system, then this person will do his best to maintain the system and continue to operate!!

It's the law!!

......

Strictly speaking, Chen Daolin is no longer playing a simple "religious mission".

He is already playing with a means far higher than religious mission!

"I'm just throwing a little bit of a trick...... If only I had been bold and played harder...... In the final analysis, the Roland Empire is still an agrarian feudal civilization, if I throw out such a nuclear-level killing weapon as 'fighting local tyrants and dividing the land'...... Then the peasants of the entire Roland Empire will not all listen to my command and rise up...... Hmph!"

Chen Daolin touched his chin with a strange smile on his face.

[Guess one, which song is the 'Divine Comedy' sung by the female voice that Chen Daolin plays?
