Chapter 1493 Faith incubation and support of gods!(1/2)
Snow bandit?
Sumo shook his head slightly. This has indeed been a frequently discussed topic since he came to this world.
From the priests up to the slaves.
Everyone's fear of snow bandits seems to have been rooted in their bones, and it can be said that their expressions change.
The reasons can be roughly divided into three points.
First, the people who can become snow bandits are all vicious people who lick blood with their swords. There have long been no rules that can restrain this group of people.
They were like locusts, moving unscrupulously in the radiation cracks, plundering, and fighting for each other, never caring about the negative consequences that these bold actions would bring.
And any tribe that is plundered will basically not escape the fate of being disbanded or annexed by other tribes.
Second, there are priests appearing within the Snow Band from time to time. Some people even say that the Snow Band is a thug supported by the Priest Affairs Office.
Whenever any tribe ignores the requirements of the Priestly Affairs Office.
Without exception, after a while, they will be attacked by snow bandits, and then they will be attacked from top to bottom.
Third, the snow bandits have no faith!
They never believe in the nameless, rootless, and undesired “god”.
Instead, they believe in some gods brought from the earth, or self-created gods.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly off the mark.
Therefore, anyone who gets involved with the snow bandits will not have any good results in the end.
Sumo also doesn't want to have anything to do with the Snow Bandits. After all, he needs a firm faith organization more than anyone else to win the final faith war!
"God has a name, but in the past they were not qualified to know God's name!"
Soma's speech sounded very deviant.
Thomas subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but everything that had happened in the past few days flashed through his mind.
He suddenly fell silent.
If the candies distributed by Soma before can still be explained by oracles, then several of the greeting spells are obviously beyond the scope of the rules and are obviously not within the scope of oracle rewards.
Coupled with Soma's transformation before and after, all the changes are connected together, and Thomas really can't find how to refute it.
Does he want to be stubborn and believe that "God" is really nameless, rootless, and has no aspirations?
This is so stupid!
Because from the time humans acquired magical talents until now, there has never been a single piece of evidence to prove this.
Now everyone's knowledge is spread through super tribes and is influenced by them.
It is very likely that the super tribes have already known the name of God and received more rewards.
"Chief, it's not that Thomas doesn't believe you, but how do you prove it?"
Thomas softened his tone and pointed outside the window, "I can believe it, but they"
The meaning of this is very clear.
The behavior of rashly introducing the name of a god is no different from that of a snow bandit, and is very likely to cause chaos within the tribe.
If this point cannot be resolved, it will be meaningless no matter how much the two discuss.
Including the surrounding tribes, it is possible that after hearing about this incident, the Fire Fist tribe will be regarded as the snow bandits' accomplices.
However, Somo's next answer surprised Thomas.
"Thomas, do you believe your beliefs only when others tell you?"
"No, of course not." Thomas immediately shook his head.
He only established his faith after seeing the methods of ‘God’ and receiving divine grace.
Before this, he had an ambiguous attitude towards the rumored gods. He only felt that most people believed in gods, and if he didn't follow his beliefs, he would appear to be an outlier.
"So, we don't need them to believe in the existence of the Stone God now."
Sumo smiled and said, "Just watch, this tribe will change soon. God's methods are not something you and I can fathom. If we need you and me to force them to believe, it will be no different from the snow bandits."
When Thomas heard this, he remained silent, but felt a little less vigilant in his heart.
Since there is no need for publicity, it avoids the possibility of being accused of being a snow bandit.
Even if the name of the Stone God is exposed and causes uproar among the surrounding tribes, he can still explain it.
Even if it doesn't work, the strength of the fourth-level priests can't stop a group of first- and second-level priests?
With the previous foreshadowing, even if Sumo's current behavior was nonsense, he decided to indulge this time.
However, the actual development ultimately exceeded Thomas' expectations.
that day.
A statue of a god suddenly appeared in the Fire Fist tribe, which did not attract too many people's attention.
Even the slaves plundered from the Benlei tribe didn't have much curiosity to take a look.
Even if Somo hadn't dedicated a shed as a shrine, he would have held a simple shrine ceremony.
The residents of the Fire Fist tribe once thought that this statue was just a simple wooden sculpture.
After all, it looks really ordinary, like a work that would only be carved by a new carpenter.
The blurry figure, blurry face, and material don't look out of the ordinary.
Coupled with the behavior of worshiping statues of gods, it can only be said to be commonplace in this era.
As long as there are no specific names or dogmas, and there are no unspoken rules, there is no problem for individuals to worship statues of gods in their own homes.
"Hey, luckily we ate quickly and came early. It's much more comfortable to kneel here."
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that I can only kneel for half an hour!"
It was late afternoon.
Only two slaves who had just finished dinner entered the temple one after another and knelt down in front of the statue.
Of course, they did not come to worship this nameless god, but took this opportunity to kneel here and rest.
Just after entering the shrine in the morning, Somo announced that every resident of the Fire Fist tribe would have half an hour of worship time.
This naturally includes slaves who have no "human rights" and have to work up to sixteen hours a day.
Now as long as they kneel down here, whether they believe in it or not, they can be spared half an hour of work.
For slaves who have been tired for many days, this is undoubtedly an extremely valuable opportunity.
I knelt for more than ten minutes.
The two slaves finally calmed down a little and began to look curiously at the interior of the temple.
It was similar to the shack they lived in, and there was nothing special about this shrine.
A large work table with statues of gods on it.
Two thatched futons are placed in front of the work table for visitors to kneel down and worship.
"Hey, let me tell you. This statue looks really strange. I suspect it was carved by the leader of the Fire Fist tribe who wanted to learn carpentry and practice his skills."
"I didn't expect it to be placed here for us to pay our respects during our rest. It's really funny."
Since there was really nothing to distract his attention in the temple, the slave on the left had no choice but to stare at the statue for a while.
However, the more he looked at it attentively, the more he felt that this statue was extremely awkward and something was wrong everywhere.
"Shhh, Norman, you can't say this. If the patriarch hears it, we will be in trouble!"
The slave on the right, Raymond Brown, was startled and quickly reminded him.
The Fire Fist Tribe is completely different from other surrounding tribes. The patriarch here has an astonishingly high status.
You must know that Thomas is a second-level priest, but he is always respectful when meeting Soma. He never dares to go beyond the rules and behaves as honestly as ordinary residents.
And when they were in the Benlei tribe, when the clan leader Qian Jin met the priests Mu Yun and Shadu, he was as humble as a puppet on a string, or to put it more simply, like a slave!
"Oh, you're right, I'm too stupid."
Brooks Norman quickly changed his words, obvious panic and annoyance flashed across his face, and he immediately lowered his head.
It would be fine if he was here alone talking to himself.
But the act of teasing the leader of the Fire Fist clan just now was really bold. If Brown were to expose it, he would inevitably lose a layer of his skin.
"God statue, God statue, I have worked so hard, please protect me and nothing will happen to me!"
Thinking of this, Norman could only stare at the statue in front of him and pray silently in his heart.
Half an hour flew by.
There was a ringing sound outside the shrine, and the two of them had no choice but to rub their sore legs and bowed their heads before leaving the shrine.
During the night's work, Norman felt very uneasy.
