Chapter 88 The Appearance of the Strange Church
Unknowingly, three months have passed since Punk arrived in the city of Dorez, the green season has passed, and the people of the plane of Faerun are about to usher in the next season, which symbolizes growth and expectation—a year of six seasons. evergreen season.
For most of the farmers who focus on farming, the evergreen season can be said to be the most leisurely season among the six seasons. Worry about cold weather. As long as you take care of the seedlings early and eradicate some weeds, you can have a lot of time to enjoy rare entertainment. For most low-level ordinary people living in Faerun, any free time is hard-won.
The singing of bards is always the most popular among the townspeople in the small town of Nieran. In such a remote town, most people will never have the chance to leave the city of Dorez in their entire lives. From the beginning of walking, he had to work hard for a few copper coins that the nobles and professionals looked down upon, and endured poverty and the oppression of the nobles until the end of his life.
In this era where communication basically relies on roaring, the poems of bards are almost the only way for them to understand the "outside world". Even old people who have experienced vicissitudes of life still have longing for legendary heroes and epics in their hearts, so Whenever there is some time, the townspeople in the small town of Nieran will choose to go to the square or tavern to listen to the bards singing.
When they are happy, most generous people will donate one or two copper coins to the bard without hesitation.
Today, on the first day of the evergreen season, a circle of unemployed townspeople scattered around the square illuminated by the brilliance of Mira and Chicasa, they are all listening attentively to the The teenage bard sings the tales of the "heroes"!
In fact, the current number of "onlookers" is somewhat abnormal, because the number is too small.
The reason for this abnormal decrease in the number of people is that a religious organization called "Tishakhar Church" has recently sprung up in the town. They have recently been preaching and organizing a large number of gatherings, and many young townspeople have participated in it with curiosity!
This sect that seems to have popped up overnight has an extremely terrifying ability to spread. Most people who are "invited" to their mysterious church and drink a cup of mysterious "divine water" will have a good impression of the so-called "Tishakhar". "Goddess" is extremely devout.
Although most ordinary people in the plane of Faerun believe in one or two gods as comfort in their hearts, there are usually churches of some weak gods and gods preaching everywhere from time to time! But this strange and unknown religion still makes many townspeople feel uneasy.
It's a pity that even if they are uneasy, they have no other countermeasures except to close the doors and windows tightly!
Today——the third day of the large-scale missionary operation of the "Tishachar Church", Bi Lan, who couldn't wait to go to the square to find Diqido, was also entangled by the missionaries of this church.
"Sorry, I have some urgent business and I can't listen to your sermons for the time being, and your behavior of standing directly in the middle of the road will cause inconvenience to the passage of cars and horses"!
A strangely dressed missionary stopped Bi Lan who was walking fast. Although Bi Lan was very displeased with his behavior, the kind girl still politely advised him to stop him in the middle of the road.
However, this middle-aged missionary with a sluggish expression completely ignored Bilan's opinion. He just took out a crumpled piece of paper and sang "The True God of Tirasha" loudly in front of Bilan. The "Supreme Power" comes.
"Confused poor man, why haven't you awakened from the deep darkness, the only true god has come, and now it is the glory of your life to be able to offer devout faith to this great god..."
"Sorry, I'm really in a hurry, can you please step aside?"
Seeing that the abnormal missionary was blocking her way, Bi Lan couldn't help but frown. It's already more than half of the morning, and Di Qiduo's singing will be over in a while. At that time, Bi Lan, who doesn't know any prophecy spells, will have no way to find Di Qiduo.
"Confused lamb, this is a gift from the Lord to you, why don't you open your arms and embrace the real salvation"?
"That's right, believe in the only true god, Tishakhar. I can guarantee that you can really be redeemed. I was redeemed by Tishakhar's gift"!
At some point, a believer from the "Tishachar Church" wearing the same robe also came to Bi Lan's side. This young man didn't have the strange and dull eyes of the missionary at the beginning, but his eyes were full of This kind of crazy frenzy, the pupils in the eyes are constantly shaking and changing, the muscles on the face are even more tangled and ferocious, there is no sense of the so-called "salvation" at all!
Bilan took a step back in horror. As a mage, of course she didn't like the gods, so from the beginning she just wanted to find an excuse to shirk it like she did with the missionaries who came to her door. Generally, under such circumstances, most missionaries would not be too entangled, but these two weird missionaries were obviously unwilling to just give up!
"You actually feel contempt for the gift of Goddess Tishashel, evil creature, do you know that you are giving up the only salvation in front of you, and a terrible disaster is about to come. Aren't you afraid of falling into eternal darkness?"
"That's right, the great god has come, we humble lambs must offer our faith to the only goddess"!
Seemingly realizing that Bilan was unwilling to join the religion, the two missionaries became angry. They approached Bilan together, and the young missionary even clenched his fists and roared loudly at Bilan's pale face.
"Okay, okay, count me in, okay?"...
Facing these two crazy missionaries, Bilan felt that it would be better for her to compromise temporarily, otherwise these two people might not let her go, and she had no time to continue arguing with the two guys whose minds were burnt out by faith!
"Take this"!
Hearing that Bilan agreed to join the church, the elder missionary calmed down. He took out a badge carved with spider patterns and forced it into Bilan's hand.
"Take the gift of the goddess, and remember to come to the square to pray at night. This is your only chance to gain salvation. Let us offer our faith for the coming of Goddess Tishashel..."
Bilan didn't listen to what was said later, she casually put the badge in the pocket of her robe, and hurriedly walked around the young missionary who kept looking at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Diqido's singing is about to end..."
Thinking of this, Bi Lan ran anxiously!
At the same time, in various small towns near the city of Dorez, the same scene blatantly appeared on many streets. Crazy missionaries in gray-red robes stopped pedestrians one by one. Shire" church and receive badges, they will block the way of pedestrians to prevent each other from passing, and then roared loudly about the "heinous" sins of pedestrians.
A strange atmosphere slowly enveloped the entire city of Dorez, and even the weather became gloomy in response to the atmosphere.
In the city of Doraez, many professionals who were unwilling to get involved in matters of belief left the city of Doraez one after another.
And most of the nobles are still enjoying themselves because of the coming of the first day of Evergreen Season, and the townspeople just regard these missionaries as fanatics they met "accidentally"!
Bahanger, an official-level dwarf warrior in Dorez City, is meticulously forging precious metal raw materials he got "accidentally", so he doesn't care about the missionary game of "children's play house".
Punk has already entered the lush forest in order to explore the spider cave. Although he has some doubts about this "Tishachar Church", a turbulent city of Dorez "collects" low-level professionals as "experimental materials" There is no harm in that.
Besides... the trouble is big, no matter how many people die in the city of Dorez, it is also a matter of Dylan Kingdom, Punk doesn't care about it...
As a result, the plan of Tishakhar Church was ignored intentionally or unintentionally by everyone!
