The ideas of Gao Wen and Belsetia have fully proved one thing, that is, if you want to take advantage of the loopholes in religious ceremonies, you must either be knowledgeable or shameless, and as long as you can meet one of the two conditions One, you can have as many loopholes as you want - the iteration of religious activities inherited from the primitive worship period is slow, and almost no one looks at this sacred thing from the perspective of "drilling loopholes". No one will take the initiative to fix bugs or seriously discuss the irrationality in the ritual process, but the natural principles behind these rituals will not take the initiative to circumvent certain loopholes because of the believers' ignorance-now, these thousands of years have never happened The loopholes considered by others have become "opportunities to take advantage of" in Gao Wen's eyes.
If you think about it carefully, the existence of this kind of loophole is actually inevitable. After all, the most important condition in devout belief is "don't question". What is not to question? To put it simply, the divine right is absolute. As long as it points to the gods, then mortals will never be allowed to doubt and encounter difficulties? That is a test given by the gods, the words in the scriptures are unreasonable? It's because you don't have enough understanding, the house next door suddenly disappeared halfway through the sacrificial ceremony? God’s move must have a deep meaning, don’t even think about continuing to pray, even if this street is gone, it’s God’s will...
This is piety.
Of course, the above are only considered from the perspective of church activities. When it comes to actual operation, it must not be so rough and simple. As the ruler of the real world, Gao Wen has to consider the stability of society and the lives of a large number of ordinary people. He cannot Really hold a large-scale sacrificial ceremony and then make a house or even half a block disappear in front of ordinary people - this needs to be discussed with the gods in question, just take away the things in the house...
There was a brief moment of silence in the assembly hall, and the gods were obviously shocked by Gawain's whimsical ideas, and even Amorn, who was eating melons and watching the excitement, showed a petrified state at this moment, until Gawain's voice suddenly broke Silence: "What do you think of my suggestion?"
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, rolling the courtyard under the golden oak tree. Amidst the rustling of grass leaves, Amorn's voice finally sounded from the edge of the assembly hall: "I think you can give it a try, from the sacrificial ceremony Judging from the process and loopholes in the process, this operation is feasible, of course, the details of the specific implementation need to be discussed... such as the designation of the sacrificial field."
"Yes, the sacrificial field is affected by the symbolic meaning of the ceremony, and it doesn't mean that it can be as big as we want," said the god of commerce, Baofar, "and we can't take away anything in the ceremony at will. This first requires the 'approval' of the ceremony process. It is best to hold a closed ceremony in the church, which is a place where the earthly world and the kingdom of God are closely connected, which can ensure the stability of the transmission process, and the closed environment of the church also helps to cover up the ceremony site Abnormal movement around."
"But is there an arsenal near the church?" Nefari, the god of song, dance and wind, frowned. "I don't think there is such a thing around the main churches in my memory..."
"There is no such thing around our sister's church." Eve, the goddess of harvest, also shook her head. "It is impossible to have such things around the church facilities..."
Gao Wen looked at these people with a serious expression on his face: "You can have this."
"...that's right," Nefari was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "You should be able to arrange this easily."
"But does holding such a large-scale sacrificial ceremony suddenly require a legitimate name?" Blood God Dan Mo immediately asked another question, "Although devout believers do not question the oracle, such a large-scale Church activities not only affect devout believers, but the doubts in the hearts of ordinary believers and superficial believers may also affect the state of the divine half..."
"In this regard, we can cooperate in this world," Gao Wen said immediately, "Winter is coming to an end, and the following recovery month will be a month full of various festivals, and we can organize various recovery month celebrations.
. . In such celebrations, the churches organize sacraments to please the gods, so it is not surprising that they add a sacrificial ceremony to the regular prayers... If there is still a need for a name, it is in the wasteland Pray for all beings in the world after the victory of the war. "
"Similar sacrificial ceremonies can be held many times," Rosetta Augustus said immediately after Gawain's voice fell, "After the end of the Recovery Moon, there will be the Midsummer Festival, and then there will be the Harvest Festival. In the coming year There is also the Winter Veil celebration in winter. Although according to tradition, not all festivals and sacraments have sacrifices, but now is the first year after the end of the Wasteland War. In the name of the world's blessing, we can all ask cathedrals to hold such ceremonies."
"And we don't necessarily have to hold sacraments during the festival," Belsetia also broke the silence, "We can create some small-scale miracles in certain 'sacred places', and then arouse public opinion around them, and finally Holding additional religious sacrificial activities in the name of 'Heaven's Omen', as long as there are suitable reasons, pious priests will not refuse such things-especially these things will also be approved by the Theocratic Council. Of course, this process It may require the cooperation of the gods... Now that you have been separated from the divine half, can you still do things like causing miracles in the world?"
The last sentence of Belsetia was said by looking at the gods in the assembly hall, and Faule, the god of winter and mountains, responded immediately: "Of course, this is almost an instinctive thing for us. Both half-body and human half-body have this power."
Gao Wen nodded: "This solves another problem. All in all, we need an extremely tacit cooperation this time - the world and the gods must work together to ensure the success of the plan without disturbing the half body of the gods." , and does not cause ideological turmoil."
The three earthly emperors and the gods discussed the plan to guide the gods at dusk, and those bold and even astonishing plans were quickly formed. Amber couldn't help but widen her eyes, and finally endured for a long time. A sentence suddenly popped up: "Why are you so proficient in making these plans... It feels like ordinary priests are not as smooth as you!"
Hearing Amber's babble, Gao Wen just exhaled lightly, and said calmly: "The person who ends the theocracy must be the one who understands the theocracy best. If you want to destroy an order, you must first be in this field." You need experts, you can't get anything done with a lot of anger and ambition."
"This may be the first large-scale cooperation between the world and the gods, and it will also be the last," the blood god Dan Mo couldn't help sighing, "The irony is that the relationship between mortals and gods did not end until the age of mythology was decided. Only then did we really have such a little bit of tacit understanding.”
"It's better than not being able to communicate until the last moment," Nefali comforted at the side, "It will be fine after this incident is successfully concluded. There is no hidden danger of the mad god, and many plans of the Theocratic Council can be more assured and bold." If we continue to push forward, we, the remaining human half-body, can also work together with the council. Didn't Gawain Cecil describe a 'final order'? That day will come sooner or later..."
Amber's eyes swept back and forth between these stalwart figures and the three earthly emperors including Gao Wen. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly said: "But we are so densely populated within a year. Is it really okay to organize church activities?"
Gao Wen glanced at her: "Which problem are you referring to?"
"In terms of public opinion, what is the direction of the official release?" Amber said while organizing her words. After following Gao Wen for so long, she has obviously been able to use many new words invented by him proficiently. Let’s not discuss strengthening the connection of thought trends. After all, the beliefs of the gods are still there, and the connection of thought trends is still there. The Age of Mythology is over, but the key is the subsequent impact...
"For a long time, the Theocratic Council has been sending out a signal to control large-scale religious gatherings and weaken the authority of the church, but now we have to organize so many large-scale sacrificial activities within a year, and many activities even have the Theocracy Council and various countries. The platform of the government...Will this send a wrong signal to the outside world, making the people think that the "wind direction" above has changed? On a larger scale, will this make some churches "inflate" and feel that they are doing well again... At that time, the various sects will rebound, and what should they do if they continue the Mythological Age just after it ends?"
Hearing Amber's worries, Gao Wen pondered for a while and then shook his head gently: "The problems you mentioned do exist, but compared to the early end of the Age of Mythology and the result of passing the 'Rite of Coming of Age' safely, this price or the risk I have On the other hand, although we want to organize these sacrificial activities within a year, it does not mean that the council allows various sects to engage in expansion operations without permission—— After the end of God's Twilight Project, all restrictions will return to normal, and the Council of Power still has the brakes."
Speaking of this, he paused, with a meaningful smile on his face: "As for what you are worried about, will the major churches misunderstand certain things, will they feel that they are doing it again, and even if the council has not approved it? What kind of tricks do you do under the circumstances... You have to remember one thing - only officially approved sacrificial activities are called 'pray for the people', and sacrificial activities without documents, no matter how large in scale, are called 'illegal assemblies'.
"We have a comprehensive set of laws against this kind of illegal assembly."
The corner of Amber's mouth couldn't help trembling: "As expected of you, it's still a familiar style."
"This is not my style, this is the rule of the real society," Gao Wen shrugged, "Faith activities are tools to maintain social cohesion, tools should not have their own will to use.
"In a sense, I would welcome them to have some illegal assembly - it would give the council enough reason to ban it. We have closed down countless troublesome churches in the past few years, but recently they have learned to be smart. I have learned to hide and hide, and I very much hope that they can return to the simple state of holding underground mass against the ban of the council, when the trial monks of the arbitration tribunal were full and happy every day."
Amber thought for a while, and couldn't help but look back at the gods who were listening to Gao Wen's speech in the assembly hall. The expression on her face was a bit strange: "Although there is nothing wrong with what you said, I always feel that we are talking in front of the gods." Is it a bit inappropriate to discuss this face to face?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Faule, the God of Winter and Mountains, suddenly say, "What's inappropriate, how reasonable is it? Besides, I quite like to hear it."
"That's all. If you are really interested in the affairs of the Theocracy Council, I can ask someone to send you some information later, and you can study it yourself." Gao Wen laughed, and he suddenly felt these various "humanity of God" They are all quite interesting, they have such distinct personalities, different emotions, their own likes and dislikes, and at the same time they love the world so much - talking to them is like facing a group of people who can open their hearts Friends, as long as you can adapt to the oppressive aura of a powerful existence and get used to the feeling of talking with "God" on an equal footing, this will be a very interesting experience.
"Then the general process of this matter is decided like this." Finally, Gawain scanned the entire assembly hall, concluding this conspiracy that is destined to change the fate of the entire world, "We will pass through the world and the gods." In a cooperative way, large-scale sacrificial activities are held around the world, and in the process, mortal weapons are sent to the Kingdom of God. These mortal weapons sent to the Kingdom of God are tentatively code-named 'Wu De';
"While the sacrificial ceremonies are being held in various places, the Disobedient Courtyard will serve as the main window for future exchanges. The council will leave a long-term open secure communication terminal in this gathering place. Through this terminal, the gods who visit this place can directly contact To myself or the person on duty on the council.
"On the other hand, if we need to contact a certain god, we will still use today's process - we will send letters to the Kingdom of God through the 'windows' in various churches. If it is, we can directly say in the letter If it is something that cannot be directly mentioned in the letter... then leave a code, and you will come here after seeing the code.
"In any case, we must communicate through the above-mentioned channels as soon as possible. Remember, we must ensure tacit cooperation."
Gawain's expression was very serious, and the gods listened to the order of an earthly emperor with the same seriousness. After Gawain's voice fell, Flora, the goddess of spring, asked, "What is the secret signal to call the meeting? Or is it the same as before?" Is it also marked with shadow dust?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly shrank her neck, looked back at the "colleagues" who were nervous at the same time, and then added: "I just want to make sure, if there are shadows and dusts in the future, we all will It’s better to make mental preparations in advance.”
Gao Wen thought for a while, and just as he was about to nod, he suddenly thought of the fact that he and Amber were about to go to the Kingdom of the Shadow God. He thought that if he and Amber left, the person on duty of the council might not be able to get Shadow Dust as a "sign" ", and quickly changed his mind: "Since we have reached a consensus today, there is no need to use shadow dust as a symbol for subsequent contacts, let's agree on a common code word..."
He paused when he said this, and looked at Belsetia and Rosetta aside: "What do you think?"
"I would like to say that the most suitable password is 'Ragnarok', but these words may arouse the alertness of the divine half," Rosetta shook her head, "What does the Silver Queen think?"
Belsetia thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly fell on Gao Wen.
"The dusk of the gods is the dawn of the world, but Cecil already has a sky fortress with this name, so let's change it a little..." She smiled and said word by word, "The sword of dawn... what do you think? how?"
"The Sword of Dawn...sounds good." Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and also smiled, then he turned his head and looked at the gods in the assembly hall.
"Then we agreed to use 'Sword of Dawn' as a code word. If we see this word in the letter, we will come here to discuss important matters."
