Chapter 694 The Ceremony of the Gods

"What a hassle! How can a blood sacrifice be so frustrating? As an evil god, you can't even do such a simple thing as "let a group of lunatic believers commit suicide with an oracle!" To "cheat" a group of believers to control their minds, and to ask me to say something like this..."Gulu"...the cult is simply embarrassing to the evil gods"!

Swallowing a piece of smooth and tender rabbit meat in one gulp, Kane casually started teasing the "smiling" church loudly.

Perhaps in this guy's view, the so-called "church"'s absolute brainwashing of believers is a very simple basic skill, and fanatics should be mass-produced like canned pork on an assembly line.

As for Kane's cognition, the punk standing indifferently under a big tree next to him just shook his head silently to express noncommittal.

The caster didn't have the heart to answer the knight's complaints, because in his opinion, Kane's ridicule was meaningless speculation.

Without enough knowledge reserves, the legendary knight obviously doesn't know enough about the gods, and even "Smile", a "little girl" who has just become the "God of Red Sand" for less than 10,000 years, may only have a half-knowledge about the group of "gods".

You know, for the gods, "believers" are always a troublesome thing that has to be managed well. It is equally difficult to reduce believers and increase believers, especially those fanatics with extreme thoughts must be cultivated from an early age. It can only be cultivated, and after a group of fanatics are cultivated, it is not easy to deal with them.

This has nothing to do with the strength of the church's ability to "fool people", and it has nothing to do with whether those illiterate peasants in the middle ages are good or not, because it is not people's thoughts or social factors that limit the number of believers, but beliefs The core god itself.

For a god, too few believers will cause one's divine power to make ends meet, or even meet basic survival needs.

However, too many believers will lead to the speed at which the priesthood erodes one's will greatly accelerated. Gods like the Lord of Dawn, whose believers are all over the multiverse, have long since lost their "self" to speak of.

Only keeping the number of believers in a state of "no more, no less" is a reasonable move that a god should make, but...maintaining this state of balance is far more difficult than making a church flourish.

But now, after this blood sacrifice, a large number of deaths of believers of the "Red Sand God Sect" and the widespread spread of "the prestige of the Red Sand God" may break the balance that "Smile" has finally created-if the festival operates If it is too good, it will lead to a surge in the number of believers. If it is too poor, it will cause a large number of believers to decline in faith. In either case, it is a big trouble, so the smile must grasp the key measurement.

That's why she created this kind of ceremony in a deep mountain and old forest that "seems to be huge, but is actually concealed".

Those believers who went to the altar probably didn't know that the purpose of the gods they believed in was not at all for the so-called "proclaiming glory and spreading faith". Among the people at the ceremony, except for the two impatient legendary powerhouses, the rest were just a bunch of "lambs" waiting to be slaughtered.

The "God of Chisha" just found a name to call some shallow believers or even false believers to the altar, and then ordered his priest to use spiritual magic to control these insignificant shallow believers to be "voluntarily" sacrificed, anyway. As an evil god, it is normal behavior to use divine spells to order believers to do certain things.

In this way, Punk and Kane watched from a distance on the mountain that the group of about 30,000 believers of the "Chisha God Sect" were busy embellishing their "Chisha Sect" with all kinds of hideous animal skulls, eerie reliefs, and paintings. Graveyard", at the same time, there are other believers from this small plane rushing over to participate in this "event".

Watching the process of "Ants Moving House" will not be interesting, at least in some trivial matters, "Instant Killer", who is always impatient, is already very upset at this time.

So, while watching the "lambs" dragging their families into the sacrificial site from a mountain pass, Kane tore off half a rabbit leg and handed it to Punk symbolically, frowning and asking vaguely:

"The number of these "living sacrifices" is tens of thousands. It should be enough to pay the ridiculous price. Does that guy with a smile think that this adventure will last for several years?"

"Who knows."

Punk answered perfunctorily.

"If the god does not return to the Kingdom of God after the "going out time", the priesthood will continue to draw the god's divine power as punishment, draining the divine power and draining the divine nature, draining the divine nature and extracting the soul... "Smile" may I want to be safe."

While speaking, he glanced at the slightly burnt rabbit, and the mage who didn't like barbecue calmly released a mage's hand to push away the roasted rabbit leg that Kane handed over.

But after a slight pause, he also thought of another possibility:

"Hmm... Our "Her Majesty" may also be cleaning up too many "lambs". After all, her mental state seems to be too influenced by belief"...

"..."

The cold winter wind that fits the climate of the small plane gently blows through the lush forest, and the morning sun once again shines on the yellowing ground of wormwood. The shade of the trees that cast shadows around the two legendary powerhouses swayed slowly in the silent cold wind, and the armor of the knights dyed the radiance of the rising sun with a layer of golden light...

"Well~ Forget it, just wait patiently if you have this kind of teammate, believers and everything are "smiling" their own business, anyway, as an evil god, she has plenty of ways to deal with too many "lambs".

No longer obsessed with the purpose of "smiling", Kane ate the rabbit leg that was intended to be given to Punk in one bite. The quick chewing action proved that he never thought of giving the roast rabbit to the mage in the first place.

However, even in the process of eating, the chatty knight had to find time to say a few words, especially for the comment on the god "smile". The knight who didn't know what he was thinking seemed to have endless lines to complain.

"It's just... Gulu... My uncle has always been wondering, "Smile" can such a large-scale festival be successfully completed? It seems that the larger the festival of those gods, the more trouble they will cause, right? No matter how you look at the festival with tens of thousands of people, it is too eye-catching!"

Once again, he glanced disdainfully at the fanatical "Chisha Sect believers" at the foot of the mountain, and the knight, who was obviously in a bad mood, expressed his doubts while looking helplessly at the punk with his calm eyes.

Because in a certain direction he glanced at just now, the eyesight of a legendary professional is enough to see a group of "little accidents" approaching the altar quickly.

"The ceremonies of the gods are usually held in various unsatisfactory accidents. This is true for evil gods, and good gods are no exception."

This is the caster's unemotional answer.

Obviously, Punk also perceived the group of "unexpected visitors" who were clearly coming towards the altar, but unlike Kane, he was not surprised by this.

The blood sacrifices of the evil gods at the cost of withering their lives will always attract many defenders to stop them with all their strength, and the rituals of the good gods often attract a steady stream of thieves because the sacrifices contain too much wealth.

Even those brave "guardians" or "thieves" usually have other dark secrets, but in a sense, these various "man-made" factors that can interfere with a certain church ceremony are also "good camps" A balance between gods and "evil alignment" gods.

But... the current situation is that on such a small plane where there are not many master-level professionals, there is still a country that dares to oppose a church that is protected by the gods... This makes the caster a little confused Already......

Isn't the influence of the "smiling" church... a bit too general.
