"A philosopher from the eastern kingdom?" The first disciple, Jacob, looked at Francis in confusion.
As a devout believer, he did not dare and would not doubt that he wanted to know more information in order to make a reasonable judgment on Francis' suggestion, after all, he was the main leader of the secular missionary of the Secret Prayer Society.
Jacob's attitude represented similar thoughts of the other disciples, even Lucian had the same expression.
"The situation in this world is special, there are many false gods, and there are not a few 'priesthoods' in terms of the moon, so after the authentic silver moon god Aitna fell into this world, she was pulled by a similar 'divinity' and tried to 'absorb' them to restore their own rank. The words Lucian used to describe them were basically "imported" from the church.
With this premise, Lucian thought to himself: "In the absence of any other better way to find Silver Moon Etna, controlling and paying attention to the pseudo-gods with the 'priesthood' in terms of the moon is an effective way to 'wait for the rabbit'. Uh, if you really want to be serious, the council, the dark council and other forces can also help make similar religious improvements - it's hard to know if you hear and see it every day, but the more stubborn elves and druids won't do this kind of thing."
The mature religious concept mentioned by El takes the route of salvation and soothing the soul, Lucian himself can also be nonsense, and he cannot judge Francis' identity from this, and if he is a member of the church, helping the false gods carry out religious reforms seems to be against his own beliefs, of course, in the face of the number one thing to find Silvermoon Etna, slightly violating his faith is not something to consider for some high-ranking church officials and night watchmen.
Thinking of this, Lucian became more and more vigilant and cautious, most of his magic items were in a state of damage and need to be repaired, which was not conducive to a long-term battle, and he didn't know if Francis had any companions nearby.
El smiled and pointed at Francis: "Mr. Francis comes from the oasis country in the eastern desert and has in-depth research in philosophy, theology, and the occult.
This god stick...... Lucian secretly cursed, feeling more and more that there was something wrong with Francis, the astrological changes described were obviously a symbol of the fall of the "old gods" and the ascension of the new gods.
Did he not understand astrology and made it up indiscriminately, or did he deliberately mock Afando and El for being ignorant and illiterate?
Francis sat casually on a silver chair and glanced at the disciples with a faint smile that never fade: "The reason why the great 'God of Fire and Destruction' is no longer worshipped by the Baburites as before, in addition to the problem with the simple intimidation and coercion of preaching, is that He was indeed defeated by Annathans, and the Baburs, who feared His terror and might, discovered that the God of Fire and Destruction seemed weaker than they thought."
"This is due to the betrayal of other gods!" The second disciple said loudly, refusing to admit that the god of flames who could destroy the world would actually fail.
Francis leaned leisurely on the back of his chair: "In any case, He failed, and for the gods, failure is a more tragic thing than the fall, so I suggest that the great Afantor temporarily abandon the image of the past and preach in the way of a new god. We can say that in the flames of destruction, the salvation of El was born, and the previous failures were only the tests of the great Afantor for the believers, and those who failed to pass the test must sincerely repent in order to obtain the salvation of El, and to be harvested in the fertile land after the flames."
"This is the new god, the 'God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption' El, and in the future He will gradually absorb the image of 'Afandor' and add the priesthood of fire and destruction, so that believers can understand that El is Efantor, and Efantor is El, and they are one, so that they can become truly powerful gods."
"From now on, no matter what happens, it can be explained by God's test."
The six disciples at the round table fell silent, and Francis's words sounded reasonable, but anything that could be explained by a divine test seemed like a mockery of the gods.
Lucian noticed that when he said these words, Francis' expression and eyes not only did not have a hint of mockery, but were slightly enthusiastic, which made people very convinced.
"Is he an outstanding acting actor, or is he looking for a purpose other than Silver Moon Etna?" Lucian became increasingly sure that Francis was a "visitor" in the main material world.
Seeing that the disciples were still silent, Francis stood up and pressed his chest to salute El:
"The meaning of the gods is something that we mortals cannot truly understand, and the wrong behavior is that we do not understand it enough and ignore the test."
"Gods are eternal and eternal, we don't need our faith, but we need to believe in gods and be saved."
"The gods represent good things such as truth, virtue, and salvation, and all authority belongs to one, and there is no true God but Him!"
Hearing these words, El's expression became slightly excited, and the flames in his eyes beat even more violently, and Francis's changed doctrine was much more mysterious than the obviously high-end before, so that his "divine throne" was greatly improved, no longer similar to those false gods who mingled among mortals, and it was more convenient for believers to worship wholeheartedly.
"Isn't this the latest theological explanation of the Truth Church?" Lucian felt embarrassed and sweaty.
The Church of Truth needs to pay attention to the progress of arcane research, and arcanists also need to understand theological knowledge to a greater or lesser extent, and to figure out the enemy's situation in order to better defeat them.
But in this way, Lucian couldn't even guess Francis's identity, in all kinds of situations, the Church of Truth was the least likely, using its own doctrine on false gods, even the pope would be accused of depravity and blasphemy, unless he had other purposes.
"Great 'God of resurrection, abundance, and redemption,' accept our faith, forgive our sins, and deliver us from the filthy world." Jacob, as an old god, was the first to react and quickly worshipped El, leading the other disciples to accept this new identity of the "God of Fire and Destruction".
El sat them down with satisfaction: "My priesthood is derived from the divinity of God the Father, and it is still very weak, and we must conquer other false gods and obtain similar divinity to grow.
El changed the pronoun of Asin from him to him, that is, he was no longer regarded as a god.
"Asin betrayed the great Afando in the war against the evil god Annatans, gained some autonomy, and is currently able to preach freely in the Solna Valley and compete with other betrayed gods for limited resources of faith. But they are always worried about the revenge of the great Afandor, and the location of the divine domain has become more mysterious, and if we fight him in the divine domain, even if the 'God of Resurrection, Abundance, and Redemption' strikes, we will not be very sure." Anhuus often preached outside and knew a lot about it.
Seeing that they did not shy away from their thirst for faith resources, Lucian became more and more suspicious of the source of divine magic: "If divine magic does come from the power of faith, does it represent the existence of spiritual power? Or is the power of the mind a more special spiritual power, a spiritual power with a more peculiar frequency?"
Francis smiled preparedly: "So using the newborn 'God of Resurrection, Abundance, and Redemption' to come forward can effectively reduce the vigilance of the moon god Asin, and when I came, I heard that the Solna Valley will hold a 'theological conference' to attract believers by debating the power of their respective gods, and the losers will be expelled from the river valley, and the priests of the evil god Annatan will also go to try to make these false gods truly 'become' members of the Angnoma god system."
"We sent two disciples to participate in the name of a new religion, trying to provoke Assin in the theological debate and lure him into an ambush position."
El nodded lightly: "This matter will be done according to Mr. Francis' arrangement, and when the time comes, I, Mr. Francis, and Jacob will join forces to easily kill Axin outside the divine realm."
"Mr. Francis?" Jacob said in surprise.
He is the leader of the disciples, the worldly leader, and the "spiritual seed" given by Afandor is the strongest, equivalent to the sum of the other disciples, with six levels of strength, why can Francis be on par with himself in strength?
Francis smiled and said: "I was once blessed by the great true god, and accidentally encountered a hydra with the level of a false god and died, bathed in its blood, devoured its heart, and had the ability of a divine blood person myself."
Bloodline Knight? Lucian ignored the lie and interpreted the true meaning that Francis wanted to hide, "If that's the case, at least he's not a member of the council."
The council has no bloodline knights!
Jacob took a deep breath, said no more, and looked back at the other disciples: "Leviathan, this is your time to consecrate, you have not yet had contact with other sects, so you can represent the new 'God of resurrection, abundance, and redemption', and Anxius will assist you."
"I will also go with you, otherwise it would be difficult for a disciple like you, who has not been trained and tempered, to debate those sects, and will not be able to anger Axin." Francis added.
It has been changed.
