Chapter 105 Concerns
"The first step of the plan was successful." Shuer held a leg bone that looked like a chicken, and then he said after a while, "Since he made an agreement with the captains three days ago, the power of faith has begun to emerge in the world in the past three days. This shows that my speculation is correct. Their belief in dreams can also produce the power of faith."
"So fast?" Mia asked in surprise, "All the spacecraft are on track?"
"I don't know." Shure shrugged, "I only sensed the power of faith of hundreds of thousands of people on the Jackdaw. The other spacecraft returned to their respective positions. The distance was too far away and could not be sensed at this stage. However, since the people on the Jackdaw could succeed, it means that this road can continue to try to go on. There is another thing that surprised me. Delia, the child, was really beyond my expectations. The power of faith born in her consciousness was almost no less than that of an ordinary devout believer of Pavatiga. It has only been a few days since we returned home. Before we go home, it is estimated that her faith is almost the same as the children of the Dark Moon Church. Moreover, even Ryan and Nina have some power of faith, which means that they have entered the ranks of pan-believers. I guess the captains on the other spacecraft should be similar. I thought it was still sober that these people would find it difficult to generate the power of faith, but it seems that I was wrong."
"This can be explained," Mia frowned and thought, "I guess their mood is very complicated now. You have successfully made them believe in the existence of Lord Luna, and then presented the 'real' image of Lord Luna's confrontation with the Big Rift before them. They are likely to have regarded Lord Luna who exceeds their understanding as a spiritual pillar. It is understandable to pour some faith into it."
"Well, this should be the reason." Shur nodded, "Praise the Lord, the Lord's majesty and the Lord's glory, even if you cross the world, it is still dazzling. Praise the Lord's name, holy."
"But it's still a ball...Oh." So Moria hid aside with grievance and went to chew the grass roots.
"Everything goes well, this is a good thing." Militi said lazily, "But why do you still look worried? Well, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that you are mostly worried. As for the remaining half of the time, it is probably used to make others look like this."
"Thank you for your high evaluation," Shur rolled his eyes, ignored the undead mage who was relaxing and comforting after the meal, and continued to explain, "But behind the success, the first issue I did not consider is reflected. In Pavatiga, a archbishop of a church rarely leaves the main hall of the church. Do you know why?"
"Because I was too lazy to leave the forest, there was no fun in the forest outside."
"That's your Lin Jing and Wood Elf." Shur glanced at Lin Jing, who was reluctant to leave the trouble, "Except for high-level priests, few people know the reason behind this. One of the most important responsibilities of the archbishop of the church is to sit in the main hall, with the purpose of borrowing the power of the Holy Land of the Gods, gathering the power of faith from each branch temple to dedicate it to the gods. Of course, even if the main hall does not do this step, the gods can gradually accept faith from all over the world, but in order not to lose too much in the middle, and to prevent the slightest power of faith from continuously disturbing the gods, the archbishop of the church usually does this."
"Well... it's like collecting taxes?" Mia was just a pan-believers, so she felt more involved than others, "The taxes were concentrated and handed over to the treasury."
"Well, there is still a difference. After all, no one collects taxes, and taxes will not appear in the treasury out of thin air. But even without the intermediate steps of the main hall, the power of faith will be absorbed by the gods, just a difference in the amount of loss." Shur explained, "However, this statement only applies to Pavatiga, but it is not very applicable in this world. The source of faith in this world is too scattered. There must be a gathering point, and then from the gathering point, we will go through the big rift and dedicate it to our Lord. Therefore, someone must guide us. Otherwise, these weak powers of faith will only scatter into the big rift and then be consumed inside the rift. It is impossible to establish a network of faith channels."
"Isn't this the purpose of catching Delia?" Mia said sarcastically, "Let her turn the Jackdaw into this gathering point, convey your faith, and cultivate the next successor to another world for your church."
"I don't deny that this is indeed one of my purposes to help her at the beginning." There is no help for no reason in the world. No matter how close people are, they always have a goal to give help. This is the truth practiced by Sul. "I can teach her to become the gathering point of faith in the local world. I have been doing this these days, and it has first achieved results. As long as she can accurately guide the power of faith into the big rift, the power of faith will actively seek their recipients, that is, find an exit to Pavatiga and automatically enter the body of my Lord. But now the problem is that people in their world do not have the ability to control energy. No matter how pious they believe, they cannot sense the existence of the power of faith, let alone use the power of gods to guide these powers of faith."
"Well? In other words, even if they believe in Lord Luna, they will not be able to use divine arts? This is a troublesome thing. After all, when you tempted them before, you said that the gods gave divine arts."
"No, as long as the channel is built and the rules for establishing faith are effective, they can naturally obtain the magical arts given by our Lord. Once they have magical arts, even if they cannot sense the power of faith, they can maintain the normal operation of the channel through piety." Shur sighed, "The problem is how to take this first step."
"Hey? Then you can help her guide?" Moria said blankly, "You can't do what she can't do? The goal of this world's big rift is so big, you can't find the right position and launch it in, right? Hey, then when you do something else, will you not find the right position... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
"Or what do you think I was doing just now?" Shur was too lazy to say anything, and automatically ignored some bad implications and said exhausted. "I just tried to help her guide this power, but unfortunately, it was not as simple as I thought. Facts proved that you must lead the people to do it yourself, and others couldn't help."
"I found you're stupid again, Shuer." Lin Jing shook the hair on her body, put away the joke on her face, and said seriously, "What do you think I'm talking about? I mean, let you be the leader and establish this unprecedented channel of faith. After the channel stabilizes, you're giving her the dominance and she can maintain it. You won't think of such a simple thing? Sometimes, you have too many concerns, so many that you don't even understand daily flexibility."
"Yes, I wouldn't have imagined such a simple thing?" Shul shook his head with a wry smile, without refuting Moria's reproach.
Indeed, he thought too much and had too many concerns.
The first concern is Lisa.
There has never been such a precedent in the history of Pavattiga to establish a channel of faith through the great rift and gain faith from other worlds. Then, once the attempt is successful, it will cause a sensation in the two fields of Pavattiga. I think it is known that at that time, the Darkmoon Church will become the hottest topic in both fields, and the name of the dominant will resound throughout Pavattiga. It can be said that as long as Pavattiga is not destroyed in this disaster, the name of the dominant will be recorded in history and will never be erased.
This is a great glory for the Dark Moon Church and the dominant ones. The benefits and honors that come with them are simply unimaginable, and there is no harm except for the trouble of being too famous, so it is an irresistible temptation for any church and anyone.
However, it can only be said that if the leader was not Shuer and the Archbishop was not Lisa.
After all, the current situation of the Darkmoon Church is really special.
The nominal leader is Lisa, but the person responsible for decision and execution is Shuer. To put it nicely, Lisa is the spiritual leader, but to put it badly, Shuer usurped a lot of power belonging to Lisa. Although Lisa has always expressed understanding and support and encouraged him to continue, Shuer cannot think so. He must avoid suspicion. Therefore, in the past one or two years, he has begun to gradually return the power of the church to Lisa, at least a part of it.
Shuer didn't want this kind of thing to create a crack between the brother and sister, which would cast a haze on their relationship.
It is by no means an alarmist statement. Now some signs have been exposed. When other churches and secular rights have something to do, they often come to Shul directly, instead of asking Lisa for advice first like normal steps. Although Shul points out the other party’s mistakes in a timely manner every time, it is difficult to ensure that Lisa will not feel resentful in the long run.
This is just a situation before establishing a faith channel. Once Shuer's attempt is really successful, his reputation will greatly increase. Under his halo, Lisa may not have a chance to turn around in her life. Maybe Lisa won't mind. Maybe she will even be proud of her brother for her achievements. But Shuer doesn't want to see Lisa be wronged and can't bear to let the girl lose the glory that an archbishop deserves.
And if Delia becomes the leader, it is another situation. After all, Delia is a smart creature in another world, which is equivalent to the cooperation of two worlds. Shur is just a matchmaker from it. In this way, although the few people who understand the inside story know what is going on, in the eyes of most people, glory still belongs to the Dark Moon Church, to the spiritual leader Lisa and the spiritual leader of another world, Delia, rather than to Shur.
