Chapter 59: The Age of New Faith
Chapter 59: The New Age of Faith
"Next." I threw a purse into the hand of the woman behind me.
The woman instinctively caught the wallet. "What are you doing?"
"Don't you just want me to compensate for the damaged things? That should be enough."
"We don't...!"
"Don't explain to me. Everyone is very busy. Let's not waste each other's time. No, don't send it." After saying that, I looked at the divine guest on the ground. The kid was still twisting like an eel that was coming ashore. "Hey, kid, don't bother, you can't get out."
"That's not necessarily." The boy suddenly flashed white light on his wrist and ankle, and the grass wrapped around him flew towards him. Although the magic crystal shell was flying very slowly, no matter how slow it was, it was still a shell, which was much faster than a human. At first, the gods thought that the shell seemed to be fired inaccurately, but after a while, they found that the shell was actually heading towards his landing position. Although they wanted to dodge, this guy couldn't fly, and he couldn't do anything in the air.
Everything has two sides. The strongest is the weakest. Good jumping power seems to be an advantage, but once you jump up, it is your most vulnerable moment before it lands. The gods fell to the ground without deviation with the shell. With a loud bang, he flew forward and exploded him into a hungry dog's poop.
"Bah..." The god-kook pulled out his head from the ground, spitting out the mud and grass in his mouth, and was stunned.
I nodded: "It is actually very simple to expand the space of interest." I pointed to it. "I just went to the Red Planet and the Shadow Planet for some investigation."
"Zi Ri, you are such a god! Can you go up there too?"
"I am taking the space passage, not flying over the atmosphere. Where do you want to go?" Ditans's eyes clearly thought I jumped from the earth and flew there! Think I was an artificial satellite?
Instead of tangling about it, he asked seriously: "Well, how is the situation over there?"
When Marilyn in my arms heard this, she also raised her little ears. Although she was a little stupid, she was in charge of the party after all. Marilyn was not really stupid enough to be at ease, but she was not as good as us old slippery guys.
"Is this..." I rubbed my fingers. Damn, we are not your parent worker, and we can sell it for money these days. If you don't give me any benefits, you want to listen to my investigation report and let me drink the northwest wind?
Ditans was not stupid either. He immediately understood that I was going to benefit. He was so stingy about this kind of thing that he immediately said readily: "This, I have recently found a new magic crystal mine. The mining technology of this temple is not as good as yours. The profit of mining this kind of mine is not big. Why don't you give it to you?"
I nodded with satisfaction, then pinched Marilyn's hand. Cut it, do you really think it's my woman if you fall in my arms? It's your turn to give me benefits!
Marilyn glared at me angrily, but still whispered: "A small red crystal mine."
After I received the reply, I smiled and began to introduce the situation of the two planets. Of course, what Distans and Marilyn really care about was actually the race and religion situations on both sides. I also selected what they paid attention to and told them. Both of them listened carefully and I had introduced the situation. I left them a short time for them to think. During this period, I went out to ask the guard for a large plate of Magic Fruit. This thing can increase the upper limit of magic power and increase the attack power of magic. It is very expensive and is also available in limited quantities. Most of the time, it is priceless. The Dark Temple is one of the origins of Magic Fruit. Every time I come, I eat and take it, and I can't treat myself badly.
When Ditans figured out the key, he was startled. He saw a big basket in front of him, full of fruit cores. "Oh my god! How much have you eaten?"
I sat in my hand with a glass of magic spring, and a half-chewed magic fruit in my right hand, and my mouth was filled with stuffing: "Mist Du Wu is not a lukewarm deer!"
"What did you say?"
I swallowed the things in my mouth hard and said, "I can't say much, there are only one hundred!"
"No, right? You can't eat like this even if you don't have money?"
"Do you feel sad?" I reached out to stop Ditans before he could speak, "No need to explain, being stingy is being stingy, really! You are also known as the largest place of origin here! I feel sad that eating a few fruits of you is like this!"
Ditans said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't there only one hundred fruits? I don't feel sorry for you! It doesn't matter how much you come again."
"Oh, how embarrassed!" Ditans suddenly realized that my eyes were not good. He quickly wanted to change his words, but I had already rushed outside the door before he spoke and shouted: "Guard, His Highness Ditans wants to give me thirty baskets of magic fruits, prepare it for me, I'll get it later."
Ditans almost fainted. Although this is one of the origins of the Magic Fruit, the yield of this thing has never been high, and thirty baskets are definitely a large number. However, after all the words were said, I would definitely be ridiculed for being stingy again. Thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.
I ran back with a smile and continued, "Oh, Your Highness Ditans is so polite. Look, I'm so embarrassed to eat and hold it!"
"Then you too...!" Ditans wanted to learn from me to extort something, but I interrupted him.
"I have also helped you get back such important information. Then we are equalized, right? Alas... the debt of favors cannot be calculated! Come on, let's talk about the important matters."
Ditans's ability to be fooled is not as good as mine. He was confused by me a few times and had to continue talking to me for serious matters.
Marilyn asked me first: "It is indeed a good way to expand the number of believers, but according to your statement, these two planets have their own religious systems. Under such circumstances, it is probably not that easy for us to successfully invade their religious forces? There are also many regions on the earth, but our religious invasion has never been very successful. For example, in your China, although there are a temple of light and a temple of darkness, there are still many supporters of local religions. This is still on the same planet. If you go to different planets, even the races are different. How do you invade this?"
Ditans obviously also attached great importance to this question, and looked at me seriously waiting for my answer. I said directly: "Actually, you think about things too complicated! These two planets are actually much better than the Earth. Almost every force on our side has its own religious system, so if you want to invade, you have to fight with the people of these systems and have to find ways to compete for believers from the other party. But when these two planets are different. Although the shadow planets have myths and legends, they have no religious forces. Legends are just legends, and there is no existence of the temple and the gods. In other words, their faith situation is basically still in a semi-vacuum state, and no one is fighting with you at all. What you have to do is to find a way to unify their original myths under your faith. You can always make up stories, right?"
"Make a story?" Ditans was a little unacceptable to my statement.
I said disdainfully: "Don't be upset, believing in this thing is that."
Marilyn smiled and said, "You dare to blackmail His Highness Ditans. It seems that you are indeed a man without faith!"
"It's not that I don't have faith, but I just don't believe in God. But the people on the Shadow Planet believe in the existence of God. They even have temples for sacrifices. However, their temple is a place of sacrifice, and almost no one takes care of them except when holding celebrations. Moreover, I found that the earth god worshipped in their temple seemed to be the superior gods on our side."
"The God of the Supreme?"
"Yes. I heard there that they had a goddess of life. They happened to be exactly the same as Nuwa in China, and even their magical properties were similar. In addition, I also saw the altars of the God of Water and the God of Fire, which were similar to the situation here. In other words, you can borrow their names when making up stories. Anyway, your beliefs are also established on this basis. Isn't it very difficult to apply the following?"
"It's not difficult to be difficult, but it still requires a lot of manpower to inspect the early stage."
"Then I can't control it. I'll point out the road to you. Whether you walk or not is your own business. Of course. If anyone needs help during this development process, just speak up. Of course, the hard work will have to be paid as required."
"Vampire!" Ditans muttered.
"Huh? You have discovered this? My teeth are so hidden!" I deliberately angered Distans. If he can make the other party lose control during negotiations, it would be a pleasure! Crazy people have no intelligence and can blackmail them as much as they want.
Unfortunately, Ditans is not an idiot, and he still has this control. "We have learned about the situation of the shadow planet, what about the red planet?"
"The situation over there is not as good as the shadow planet. According to my observation, most of the creatures on the Red Planet are not intelligent. Just like those monsters coming to Earth, they are actually no different from their owners holding the ground dogs, they are just some wild beasts with special training. The real Red Star creatures are some creatures with strange appearances and many species. However, these creatures are basically not a social system. Their society is still in a semi-slavery and semi-primitive tribe. Although cities have been established, they are basically very backward."
Ditans asked, "But the Red Star that came to Earth has very powerful magical equipment?"
"I haven't figured out what's going on with this yet, but that's definitely not their average level. There should be some kind of high-intelligence race on Red Star. The number is also very rare. It is even possible that those magical instruments are ruins, and monsters are just using them, but have no ability to create. You have to send more people to see the specific situation. I can only tell you that most of the indigenous people there are very backward, and they basically don't have faith, they are completely a virgin land!"
Ditans nodded, then looked at Marilyn and said, "According to Zi Ri, expansion is indeed much better than our scrambling for limited faith resources here. I see our previous agreement…?"
"Then let it go!" Marilyn nodded in agreement.
I said to Ditans: "Then we will talk about specific expansion matters next time we have time. During this period, we will focus our efforts to explore the situation on the two planets. What do you think?"
"Of course." Ditans stood up and shook hands with me: "Happy cooperation."
“Happy cooperation.”
Ditans sent us out of the door, and of course I didn't forget to bring the magic fruits of the blackmailed land together. Looking at Ditans's expression of distress and helplessness, I really felt that this trip was worthwhile. After leaving the temple, we first met with Marilyn's subordinates. She is different from me. After all, she is also a goddess, and it is unlikely that she will come out and run around alone.
Because I was there, Marilyn planned to use our teleportation array to return to France. This would be faster. I also got into Marilyn's carriage and bombarded all the original two maids. Marilyn looked at me with a red face, but I had a stern face.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful to me. Your trick is useless to me. What kind of deal did you and Ditans discuss with you just now?" Marilyn was about to speak, and I quickly stopped her. "I advise you to think about it before you talk. Even if you lied to me, I have a way to buy real information from Ditans. So...you can do it yourself!"
After hearing what I said, Marilyn stopped talking, but thought quietly. There was a clear smile on my face. She was just starting to think about the problem, obviously she didn't plan to tell the truth just now. Now it depends on whether she plans to be independent or completely dependent on our guild in the future. However, no matter how she decides, I will not get a little bit of the benefit.
