Chapter 1226: Power and Faith

Remember [new] in one second! This guy basically didn’t say anything but omitted some details.

This ice cave was actually discovered by the church thousands of years ago.

Strictly speaking, the history of its use by the church is almost as long as the founding of the church. It is no exaggeration to say that this ice window has always existed in the records of the internal books of the Calamity Raven Church. The turbulent cold air blowing upward from the pit became a Natural isolation.

Without adequate means of shelter from the cold, it would be difficult for outsiders to fall thousands of meters into the ice against the cold wind. It is for this reason that the branch of the church in Jackdaw Valley chose to build the second church here. The natural ice caves here are used as "cold storage" for storing food.

It just so happens that there's enough space here.

You can even build a small settlement and check the information silently. After Mai Raven stopped explaining, Zong Shen looked at him with a half-smiling look, "Why don't you talk about those forks? And what about the things hidden under the temple?

After hearing his words, Mai's expression changed again from the original indifference and slight dissatisfaction to deep surprise. He was completely sure that the person in front of him had never been here before, but he could say this in an understatement. The biggest secret in Chubing Cave. "It seems that you are no stranger to Frost Dragon Ice." Mai slowly narrowed her eyes and said indifferently.

Mai still maintained a faint smile on her face and said in a leisurely tone, "You are the envoy of God."

"The secrets of the church are secrets to you."

In the Zongshen Pavilion, it seems that he is still pious enough to the insignificant god. "

Since the banner of the Raven God of Calamity and Frost has not been raised yet, Mai Yi would mind climbing along the pole. Did I pick up Zong Shen’s admonishment and shifted the core of the argument to the gods? My words under my body made Zong Shen's mouth twitch heavily, which seemed a little funny when paired with this indifferent expression. The church force in Jackdaw Valley originally had a total of eight red-robed bishops.

Among them was a minor bishop named Byron Passata.

I am not the little Bishop Byron that Safuri said. I lived in the giant city of Lentax and decisively dedicated myself.

Now, the youngest leader of the Calamity Raven Church in Jackdaw Valley is Nian Zongshen and another red-robed bishop who is still around the giant city of Wei Li Jones. And those two red-robed bishops have also become sacrifices. Vested interests in ritual. 877 Chinese website

Originally, our strength level was only equivalent to that of a first-level magician, not the first level of a legend.

Before the sacrifice ceremony, our strength was upgraded to the legendary mid-level. Even the elders of many churches jumped from the epic low-level to the legendary primary level. Those who were just projections of gods had overflowing power before the sacrifice. After a series of previous rituals, Zong Shen and the other red-robed bishop could slowly grow to the level of a junior bishop.

The bad thing is that Xiaobang, who took over the power with difficulty, was about to become a person who said one is seven in the church, but someone from Zong came out halfway. To be honest, Zong Shen Raven was still very depressed. The most outrageous thing was that that guy actually persisted. The [Raven Jade of Divine Will (ordinary)], which has no absolute authority, represents the will of God, and any believer is incapable of doing so, including Wei Li Raven herself.

Whoever dares to deny the authority of the Jade of Divine Will is equivalent to acknowledging the faith of the church. This is a deep-seated problem, and it is also the key reason why Zong Shen has to bow to Mai Yi. The most outrageous thing is that he initially took out the Jade of Divine Will. It turned out to be a nightmare.

And we can only react obediently to kneel down and salute a nightmare. For Zongshen Raven, it is possible to say that it is aggrieved.

But faith has its own rules, which is the core of a church and also the key to the church's ability to attract a large number of believers. The result of questioning faith is not to be criticized by believers for years. As a bishop, Wei Li knows very well how few of these fanatic believers are. So crazy.

Compared to these fanatics, my piety can only be regarded as pan-faith. My respect for the raven god of disaster and frost is not as deep as it seems on the surface.

In fact, Zong Shen was also very confused.

My talent for sensing the frost element is relatively bad, so I was selected to become a Holy Son outside the church. I received baptisms and ritual blessings along the way, and gradually grew into a red-robed bishop. Zong Shen at that time was cultivated by the old bishop Byron. Our relationship spans many years. Sometimes we are both teachers and friends, and sometimes we are like father and son.

When she was young, Wei Li once asked the old bishop why God would choose me who was devout in faith. She regretted it as soon as she said those words.

Any time you talk about faith in the church, it must be linked to piety, otherwise it will become a basis for attack. Unfortunately, Bishop Byron did not blame me, but touched my head and said some intriguing words. Now Zong Shen recalled that the scene at this time seemed to be vivid in his mind. At this time, the old bishop Byron said to me, "Silly boy."

"God only needs cold and devout believers."

“He also needs believers of sufficient age.

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I gradually understood that God does care about faith, but what is faith?

It is a kind of firewood. In any church, believers and fanatics occupy a small minority. We are not the firewood of God.

Under that, there are still not a large number of managers.

Instead of developing bad churches, those administrators need to maintain a frenzied faith.

Frenzy is always insane, and it is difficult to be compatible with the pursuit of profit. It is difficult to choose between piety and purity, and worldly pursuit of profit. So when it comes to the piety of faith alone, those elders and bishops may not be that low. Although we are outside, we will still choose to devote ourselves to God without hesitation.

That point has something to do with piety. The main thing is that we have all witnessed miracles and died with dedication. The soul will ascend to the kingdom of God. This is a world with no worries and worries. On such a premise, there is nothing like that of Xiaolu. The main material world is less attractive. It is precisely for that reason that at this time, Zong Shen Raven was restrained by Mai in the name of the gods. These fanatic believers cannot give in willingly, but it is difficult for me. Before I learned to be tolerant and joined the so-called territory during my teenage church career, I was also influenced by a tangible bond.

There is a missing memory in my mind.

Those memories are not stable, and they will disappear even if the bond is removed. Through those memories, I know the concept of the Chosen Son. Facing Mai's routine, Zong Shen Raven pondered for a long time before finally answering.

"Please forgive your negligence, little angel."

"As you said, there is indeed something anomalous suppressed above the temple."

\u0026quot;Here are some of the little bishops from the past,\u0026quot;

“We choose to be frozen by [Frost Dragon Crystal] when our lives are in danger or our lifespan is exhausted.

"Thereby retreating into a frosty state of suspended animation."

"That way we can freeze our lives and wait for us to unblock them when we are no longer able to continue our lives."

"Of course, when necessary, we are willing to delay unblocking and dedicate ourselves."

After careful consideration, Zongshen Raven still chose to tell the truth that I knew the origin of Mai, and that I had witnessed the scene of me fighting the frost dragon possessed by the projection of God.

Theoretically, the woman behind the scenes is the enemy of the gods and the slayer of gods.

However, the majesty of [Raven Divine Will Jade (Ordinary)] is also subject to contradictions. It is extremely contradictory. Zong Shen's heart seems to be crawling with fleas, which makes me feel awkward, happy and indescribable. After hearing this, I saw Mai raised the corner of her mouth and asked without mercy.

"It doesn't mean that there is still a pile of half-dead firewood frozen in the church?

I used the word firewood contemptuously to refer to these old bishops who were frozen.

That made the veins in Zong Shen's forehead jump.

At that time, I wanted to see what effect Mai Yi wanted to achieve. I wanted to see where the limit of Zong Shen's patience was. Since he decided to eat up the Calamity Raven Church in Jackdaw Valley, I think these believers should also Do you mind if there is one more red bishop? "Please be careful with your words.

“Old bishops are willing to devote everything to the cause of God.

Zong Shen Raven retorted seriously, "Praise the old bishop.

Mai came here to quarrel, and even after the words were said, the other party was still patient, and I was too lazy to continue playing tricks.

The seven people walked while talking, and soon they saw the temple.

This is a tower-shaped building with a height of about 17 or 18 meters, which is quite stingy. After all, it is just a church built outside an ice cave. According to Zong Shen’s subsequent introduction, there are only two churches in Jackdaw Valley. The other one is inside, open to all believers, so it is built relatively stingily, and that church is relatively secretive. After all, there are still frozen old bishops suppressing the church. At the door of the church, we saw the person in charge of duty. Temple guard.

The guards were wearing pale golden armor, and had thick down cloaks in front of them. They were holding hook guns. They stood there carefully and saw Wei Li coming. We also saluted, but just glanced at each other fiercely and then said: Shen seems to have no idea whether he wants to introduce us.

Mai Yi used the strategy module to take a look and found that the level of those guys was level one. "Are there not many temple guards outside the valley?"

I asked Zong Shen casually.

Zong Shen pointed to the row of large wooden houses nearby and answered briefly and concisely.

There are not 32 people in total, there are not 12 people in the valley, and there are not 20 people outside. "

And Qian paused for a moment before adding.

"The temple guards need to pass the jackdaw test, and the success rate is very high."

"Even if you pass the trial, you still have to undergo long-term ritual instruction."

"Our strength comes easily,"

Mai nodded nonchalantly, and I focused my attention on those templars.

That was the first time I saw a standard first-level warrior. The attributes of the temple guards behind them were basically close to the legendary high-level level.

Of course, it's just an approximation, but it's still not a long way from the real legendary level.

But if it can form a large scale, it will definitely be a formidable force on the battlefield. In the giant city of Lentax, the eighth-level soldiers are the lowest-level standard arms. They are supplemented by a large number of legendary weaklings to lead the team. From this can form considerable combat effectiveness.

As for the first-order soldiers, it is estimated that these giant cities with worse development, or fortress-type giant cities, are not deployed in Jackdaw Valley. There are only 32 first-order temple guards, and they do not seem to be able to do anything at will. Mobilize and send us.

After thinking about it, Zong Shen took Wei Li and retreated from the temple.

The furnishings are very luxurious, with two rows of candle holders, a few chairs, and a few futon cushions that are not broken. In the middle of the sanctuary stands a shining golden raven sculpture. The eyes of the sculpture are empty, and it looks like it lacks much. Some verve.

Wei Li habitually activated the strategy module and took a look, and was immediately attracted by [Sacrificial Raven Statue (Ordinary)] [Quality: Ordinary] [Strength Value: 99792/100000] [Armor Value: 235] [Magic Resistance: 230] [Effect: Raven Sacrifice (Sacrifice to the Raven God of Calamity and Frost, including but limited to blood, flesh, and soul. The highest quality of the sacrifice must be higher than the grade level, the lower the quality) The worse the sacrifice feedback you get, the more you can get specified types of power blessings or items with various disaster and frost characteristics, the Eye of Frost (there are many Frost Eye gems, and the effect cannot be activated)] [Range: Radius 30 kilometers away] [Skill: Frost Raven (can gradually transform special ravens in the distance into frost ravens, at least 6 per week. The attributes of frost ravens are higher than those of special ravens of the same level and level. The raven is 50% lower, and the size is reduced, but the frost raven before transformation can reproduce) Deterrence (offering sacrifices, emitting the intimidation of the raven god, non-believers in the area will receive a minimal deterrent effect, and at the same time For targets whose level exceeds level seven, it will cause psychological trauma that lasts for 10 days, and they will be frightened and blessed when they fall asleep.) Devotee Ritual (can only be used by devotees who have reached the specified level of belief, and sacrifice sacrifices to obtain a certain increase in all attributes) , this effect has a lower limit) Raven Giant (Attracting ravens within a radius of 1000 kilometers. Later, every 1200 ravens cannot be combined into one crow feather for reproduction (ravens within a radius of 1000 kilometers, the reproduction and growth efficiency is reduced by 300%) ) Spiritual Prayer (You can get 1 random attribute gain when you pray sincerely for 12 days. The minimum attribute obtained by a single person is 360 points.)] (The raven statue is made of fine gold and has been sacrificed and enshrined for thousands of years. Pray for a long time. Improves attributes by a certain value, but there is a minimum acquisition limit. The statue's eye gems are missing, making it impossible to use some of the effects. It turns out to be a building with an [ordinary] quality, and it can also increase attributes for a long time. The last requirement is to regress to piety. The prayer made Mai give up the idea of ​​moving it away, because the religious characteristics of that thing were too obvious, and its buffs were basically aimed at believers.
