Chapter 657 Master Fudge (2 in 1)

Swish Swish Swish.

Li Shuyi, Qiao Rui, and Gloria all focused their attention on Bai Xiaowen, especially the two teammates who had a weird smile on their faces -- it's just that they were very subtle and didn't show it clearly.

Bai Xiaowen cleared his throat and said:

"People are born unequal. It is injustice for the lord to rule over the common people, promulgate laws at will, and turn the poor among you into slaves. However, in the face of death, everyone is equal. The curse sect serves the god of death, and those who obey Those who make contributions to the sect will receive the glory of reincarnation after death, and as long as they pass the trials, their souls will live forever. Those who disobey and hinder the development of the sect will be punished after death."

Bai Xiaowen finally concluded: "The Cursed Sect is committed to eliminating all injustices on the earth and building a fair and orderly kingdom of death. This is our teaching."

Bai Xiaowen's teachings describe the process of transforming the dead into the undead as "the glory of reincarnation", which is a good disguise. In the teachings, he incorporated some ideas of karma, which can be regarded as initially having the embryonic form of a sect program.

But Bai Xiaowen didn't lie, his black soul stone can store the soul of the dead, and the complete soul of the target can be retained by consuming soul essence. Isn't this "soul eternal".

The surrounding villagers were skeptical and all cast their eyes on the old apprentice. Obviously, compared to these outsiders, they are more willing to trust the old apprentices.

A complex look flashed across the face of the old mage apprentice.

"How about joining the Sect of the Damned and contributing to building a fair kingdom of death," Bai Xiaowen's voice was full of temptation, "If you agree to join, the Sect will protect your village from the lord's army and Guarantee your freedom and not become a slave."

"Besides, I can release these dozen or so people who were treated as slaves on the spot right now." Bai Xiaowen added.

The dozen or so villagers whose hands were tied with ropes all showed surprise expressions.

The old apprentice hesitated and said, "What if they don't join the Sect of the Damned?"

"The same release. Because the purpose of our sect is to eliminate injustice, free people are reduced to slaves, which is an unfairness." Bai Xiaowen said.

The old apprentice said again: "Then why can't you selflessly protect the villagers of Glauber's Fire Village, but must join the curse sect as a condition?"

Bai Xiaowen sneered and said: "Old man, it is a sin to always think that getting something for nothing is a sin. On the land of Silver Star Island, there are so many lambs who are under oppression and waiting to be rescued. The curse sect also wants to develop believers. Wasting energy on a group of unbelievers who refuse to join the religion?"

"I am willing to believe in religion!"

A clear voice sounded, and the little girl "Sonia" who was chased by the soldiers just now squeezed over, her eyes were shining brightly at Gloria:

"Great Black Knight, thank you for saving my father from the villains! Thank you so much for your virtue!"

Gloria stood silently, with no expression on her pale face. After a long time, she snorted softly and turned around.

"I also believe in religion... Anyway, life can't be worse." Sonia's father, the man with his hands tied, said with a sigh.

As if it had started, the voices of joining the church suddenly sounded one after another. The dozens of quasi-slaves with their hands tied in front were still echoing, and the other villagers of Glauber's Salt Village also rushed to join in.

Herd mentality is one aspect. On the other hand, these people thought that the consequence of not being protected by the cursed sect would be slaves, so naturally they had no choice.

"What do you call the old man? Do you want to join?" Bai Xiaowen stared at the old apprentice.

"My name is Jon...just a useless mage apprentice. I don't want to..."

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Old Mr. Jon, carefully consider the consequences of refusing."

The old apprentice Jon sighed: "I will join.

"

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Welcome." He was a little relieved in his heart, most of the villagers in Glauber's Salt Village are ignorant and foolish, and they are easy to fool as long as they are profitable. But this old apprentice, Jon, was different, at least he had some knowledge.

Bai Xiaowen reckoned that this old apprentice might have seen Goliath's identity as a dead soul, so he could naturally guess the nature of this organization by combining the teachings of the Cursed Sect.

From the standpoint of hidden hostility of living organisms to undead creatures, it is normal for the old apprentice Jon not to be willing to join the Sect of the Damned. However, if he proposes not to join the sect in public, other villagers will inevitably be influenced by him...

This was something Bai Xiaowen couldn't allow, so he took a threatening attitude.

The old apprentice Jon was very timid at first glance, and it was not surprising that he finally changed his mind and joined.

The vigorous "enrollment ceremony" lasted for two hours. I have to say that these ceremonies looked vain, but they had a soothing effect. A sense of security, feeling that someone above is sheltering you.

Of course, the current villagers may not even be considered as general believers, and their loyalty is also lackluster.

"Archbishop, shall we take out the corpses of these Crucifer minions and bury them?" A villager asked proactively.

"No. Now, Lord Black Knight, please show the believers what kind of punishment the enemies who disobey the curse sect will suffer after death!" Bai Xiaowen said loudly.

Gloria glanced at Bai Xiaowen and raised the skeleton sword.

The elite cavalrymen killed by Goliath, as well as a dozen soldiers, were reincarnated into undead creatures under the infusion of death energy! For a while there were wailing bursts, the wind was gloomy, and the scene was silent.

Under Goliath's decentralization, Bai Xiaowen quickly gained control over this group of new undead, and he immediately directed these undead to work.

Drawing water, digging ditches, repairing huts...

Under Bai Xiaowen's subtle manipulation, these newborn undead are hard workers, tireless and highly efficient.

Of course, the premise is Bai Xiaowen's subtle manipulation.

If it was manipulated by Gloria, these mindless undead would not be able to do much work at all, even drawing water from the well would be an impossible task, so they could only be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Gloria on the side watched this scene, and there was a trace of strangeness in her icy blue eyes: [I never thought that Dior's spiritual talent is so outstanding, that he can be distracted to such an extent. 】

"The black knight Gloria's love for you has increased... the current level of love: Appreciation (unchanged)."

Bai Xiaowen received this prompt by accident, but he didn't have time to speculate on Goliath's thoughts, but said loudly:

"Did you see it? Did you see it! This is the miracle of the cursed sect! These sinners who disobeyed the sect during their lifetime will have to do endless hard labor after death, which is more miserable than slaves!"

The villagers who had just joined the religion watched this scene dumbfounded, which had a great impact on their three views.

Some people quickly thought that they seemed to be on a thief ship...

The old apprentice Jon's lips trembled, of course the so-called miracles could not fool him. However, he dare not say...

Most of the villagers regarded this scene as a proof of the extraordinary power of the Cursed Sect, and the teachings spoken by Archbishop Dio Skelboom seemed to have become a reality.

Evening, by the sea.

Looking at the surging waves by the sea, Gloria said lightly: "Is it worth spending so much energy on such a small group of human beings?"

"Do you want to continue the day's topic again?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Master Goliath, do you think it's worth it?"

Gloria was silent.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Actually, there is no need to debate. During the day, when you cast the breath of death, you deliberately avoided the dozen or so quasi-slaves who were with the soldiers, and I knew you had approved my idea."

Gloria snorted softly: "I just wanted to see what tricks you would play...but the result disappointed me."

"Lord Gloria, what do you want to turn Glauber's Salt Village into? A Shura field, where you kill all the villagers and turn them into skeletons? Including that little girl named Sonia?" Bai Xiaowen asked a series of questions. past.

Gloria clenched the hilt of the big sword tightly with her fingers, and the tip of the sword plunged deeply into the sand. She took a breath and said sharply: "As long as it is beneficial to my revenge, I can sacrifice everything! I no longer have the luxury of conscience."

"Well, let's start from the perspective of profit..." Bai Xiaowen sighed, "Your transformation ability is aimed at the strength of the target person during his lifetime. Those villagers have low strength, and they are pitifully weak when transformed into skeletons. Ten, twenty A single skeleton can’t beat an ordinary soldier, and on the battlefield, it’s like a piece of rubbish swept away by a fire tongue technique! During a siege, you can’t even climb the city wall!”

"They are alive and can create higher value for the kingdom of death."

Bai Xiaowen continued: "Aside from other things, your elite undead soldiers, weapons always wear out, right? They always need to be repaired, and many reincarnated undead soldiers don't even have armor, which requires a stable rear. You can't expect those ignorant undead to do these delicate tasks, let alone forging weapons, thank God they know how to make a fire."

"If you kill indiscriminately, it will only arouse the resistance of all humans on Silver Star Island! Even if Silver Star City is captured, the power of the kingdom of death will be greatly depleted."

"Maybe you will say, transform the dead in battle into undead, and use the battle to support the battle... But please remember, only the enemies you kill can be transformed. In a large-scale battle, even if you perform supernormally, you can How many were killed, one hundred or two hundred? The number of undead creatures killed in battle will greatly exceed this number."

"Take a step back, even if you can successfully conquer Silver Star Island, kill all living beings, and have an army of tens of thousands of ordinary undead, so what? Silver Star Island has become a dead zone, The undead army has become a water without a source and a tree without a root. It seems to be extremely inflated in a short period of time, but in fact it has reached its limit, and it is destined to go downhill. Counting on this strength, punching Ursoc and kicking The Lionheart Kingdom is not realistic at all, and the extermination-style killing will make the Death Kingdom a sworn enemy in the eyes of all life forces."

Bai Xiaowen said a lot in one breath.

Gloria listened silently, and then said coldly: "Your approach may not be any better. Those human beings who are forced into religion will never be able to stand on the same side as the undead."

"No, thought is a terrible weapon," Bai Xiaowen said, shaking his head. "It seems absurd that the living body and the undead coexist, but it is the structure that must be formed in the kingdom of death. As long as the believers are strengthened again and again, 'death is equal' They will become extremely loyal. As humans, believers can do many things that undead cannot do, such as sneaking undercover, spying on intelligence, instigating civil strife, and publishing leaflets..."

Gloria snorted: "Your idea is very beautiful."

"No, this is the reality," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "I plan to divide believers into nine levels. Believers who have just joined the religion are the first level, and believers who work loyally for the sect can be promoted to the second level after a year. By analogy, different privileges can be set for different levels of believers...As for those believers who have made special meritorious service, they can hold a ceremony and absorb them as internal core members. How about calling them acolytes? A senior acolyte also has all the privileges of a senior believer..."

Gloria obviously didn't understand the power of this hierarchy, she just shook her head and said, "Aren't you advocating the elimination of injustice? This hierarchy itself is unfair."

"No, no, it's fair to rely on one's own hard work and dedication to get the corresponding status," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "If meritorious and mediocre people have the same status, it is unfair. "

The elimination of injustice that Bai Xiaowen mentioned refers to the phenomenon of those who enjoy noble status and a lot of resources because of their good reincarnation skills... This phenomenon is especially serious in the world of Aaron with the aristocrats. Become a generation of strong, otherwise there will be no future at all, and as long as the children of the nobles are not the kind that can't be glued to the wall, at least they can become an elite template... As for the survivor's deviation, there is no need to mention it.

Li Shuyi walked over quietly like a cat.

"As you expected, that old mage apprentice named Jon ran away secretly." Li Shuyi said.

"Well, just run away, it doesn't matter," Bai Xiaowen shook his head and sighed, "It seems that people with a little knowledge still can't fool around, and the hostility towards the undead forces is hard to eliminate. This confirms a little bit from the side... The difficulty for us to conquer Silver Star Island is definitely not low."

Gloria didn't talk much about this topic. An ordinary mage is at most an ant to her. Her slightly closed eyes suddenly opened: "Here we come."

The sound of rushing water waves sounded.

Groups of undead soldiers stepped on the beach with deep feet and shallow feet on the sea water. The leader was a lich, wearing protective spells, and the soul fire in his eye sockets fluctuated greatly.
