Chapter V: Spreading the Faith
The next words don't have much nutrition, this space is the base camp for resisting vampires, but the orcs themselves know that there are big flaws on their side, although the orcs are numerous, they are weak in terms of combat effectiveness, and they can only be slaughtered.
They also want to have their own extraordinary powers, so they do not hesitate to take poison to gain stronger mental power by damaging the body, hoping to use this method to draw out the totemic power in the orc's body.
But they didn't know for a long time that the orcs here belonged to which tribe, and the so-called totem didn't know anything except a noun.
In order to be able to find a way to fight the vampires, they are willing to try anything, voodoo curses, belief in gods, almost no one refuses, but the end result is not ideal.
These inheritances have taken tens of thousands of years, and the otherworldly geniuses of hundreds of millions of intelligent races have worked hard to develop, and it is impossible for these orcs and a small tribe to be able to reconnect the inheritance by doing it casually.
Listening to them discuss things about the belief in gods, Kaichi's heart suddenly moved, for mages, the part involving gods is also a mysterious and taboo thing. After Jia Yi became a purple-robed mage, he looked through the council's files, and it was not once or twice that the mage himself spread his faith as a god, but the results were not good.
The first is that it is very difficult to gather faith in the early stage, and the mage at the beginning has nothing, no divinity, no godhead, no way to give back to the believers, and can only do everything himself, and the second is how to absorb and use the faith, in this regard, the mage has not had a very good way.
And the most important thing is the toxin in the faith, believers believe in the gods almost all have what they want, and when praying, there are many wishes, if these wishes are too many and too mixed to distinguish and deal with, it will affect the priesthood of the gods, and eventually make the recipient himself confused, and eventually go crazy.
Of all the mages who tried to gain faith, the mages who were affected by the poison of faith had the most serious consequences, and even induced the fall of a legendary mage, but in the records, there was no name of this legendary mage.
Since then, the council has classified information on the faith, and ordinary mages are not qualified to borrow it. Jia Yi was able to see that not only had he become a purple-robed mage, but also that the arcane level was sufficient, and even so, a large part of it could only be borrowed for the sake of Magnay's face.
Although there is still research on faith and gods, there are almost no people who absorb faith and try to become gods. More often than not, like Magnay, they study the divine power by studying the divinity of the evil gods or some divine items that have been left behind.
Kaichi knows the difficulties and dangers of spreading faith, but now is indeed a good opportunity, the orcs are trapped by vampires, and a little sweetness can make them grasp it like a life-saving straw. And people always have a kind of arrogant thought, thinking that others can't do it, maybe they can just go up on their own?
Jiayi is not exempt from vulgarity.
After they finished talking, Jia Yi also ended his observation of this underground space and followed him out of the tunnel.
Jia Yi rushed to the outside and set up a magic circle outside to hide this area.
When Quack appeared, Jia Yi appeared from the side and greeted, "Hello, Quack." ”
"Who?"
Quack was startled, he really jumped up, took out an axe from behind his buttocks, and looked at Jiayi vigilantly. Jia Yi's hood on his head was not taken off, and he couldn't see his face, and he didn't look like a good person.
Jia Yi stretched out his hands and signaled that there was no weapon and no danger: "Remember me? ”
Quack stared at Jia Yi tightly, and slowly reacted: "Are you that mage?"
This dress and talk about the transaction, which reminded him of the mage who had traded with him before, and the other party made a generous move, just inquiring about some news and giving gold coins as a reward.
Those gold coins later played a big role, and they used them to buy a lot of weapons and armor, and in the end, they relied on these purchased equipment to support the undead during the siege of the city.
Recognize the people, but they didn't relax at all, what they did was very important, and they must not leak it out, otherwise it was not only themselves who were in danger, but also the thousands of orcs who would definitely not live.
He bluffed with the axe in his right hand, and secretly took out a dagger in his left hand, staring at Kaichi tightly, as long as there was any opportunity, he would not refuse to stab the dagger into Kaichi's waist.
Jia Yi stretched out his hand and made a gesture to keep his distance, and dropped his hood: "Don't worry, I'm not a vampire person, I'm a human mage, I have traveled all over the place, and I wanted to see the undead monarch, but I didn't expect to see the orcs led by the vampire attacking the undead, and I followed to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance." ”
Seeing Jia Yi's appearance, he relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to believe Jia Yi easily: "Then you can leave, outsiders are not welcome here." ”
Quack felt that he shouldn't be able to beat Jiayi, and wanted to wait for him to leave before shaking people.
"I see you need some help, and it's impossible to deal with the vampires with your current strength. ”
"No, we don't. ”
Quack roared, his eyes were slightly red, he grabbed the axe and dagger and pounced on Jiayi, but Jiayi didn't move, and he hit Jiayi's magic shield, and the sound of "bang" was like hitting the south wall, and his head fell back sharply, falling to the ground, and his nose was red. But the hand that grasped the weapon tightened and did not let go.
Quack got up, did not admit defeat, the dagger in his left hand flew towards Jiayi, and he slashed towards Jiayi with the axe in both hands.
Jiayi still didn't move, watching Quack hit the shield again and fly out.
When he was about to attack again, Kaichi waved his hand and bound him with a shackle of the wind, saying, "You have already tried, and you will not be able to defeat a mage in this way." Vampires are not mages, but they are more dangerous to you than mages. They can fly, you don't have a chance. ”
Quack's struggle slowly weakened, he knew the flaws of the orcs, and with his current strength, trying to resist the vampire was undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, but he couldn't sit still.
Waiting for Quack to calm down a little, Jia Yi suddenly said, "I can help you." ”
"Why?" The blood in his quacked eyes hadn't faded yet, and he stared at Jiayi tightly, as if he wanted to see through Jiayi's heart.
"It's just interest, I don't have a good impression of vampires, and I won't refuse to be able to give them some trouble. And most importantly, I'm a rocket ... Messengers of the Cult of the Mechanicus, you are fit to be the lambs of my lord. ”
He originally wanted to say that he worshiped the Rocket God Cult, but after thinking about it, the orcs should not be able to understand what a rocket is, so he quickly changed it to the Mechanic God Cult.
"Machine... Mechanical?do you want us to believe in the god of machines?" Quack felt a little incredulous, and his words were a little unpleasant, "We're orcs, shouldn't you go to the dwarves to spread the faith?"
As a high-ranking orc, he also has some knowledge, otherwise he would not have chosen to buy weapons to arm the villagers after getting the money at that time.
Although the small world is closed, there are also some legends that have been handed down, and there is no doubt that the name of this Cult of the Mechanicus knows that it does not match the orcs.
