Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 37
In the tavern of Huishite Town, Palin, Satan and the new president of the Thieves Guild "Grey Eyes" Rhodes sat drinking together.
Rhodes' attitude seemed very humble, with a flattering smile on his face. To paraphrase Mr. Gu Long, he just wanted to kneel down and lick the boots of Palin and Satan.
After witnessing the incredible power of His Majesty the Mask of the Void, he, a not very devout believer in the God of Thieves, was already very tempted and wanted to join His Majesty.
The God of Thieves is not a very powerful god. Although he is considered an elder among the gods, this elder has never been able to do well. This is mainly determined by his acting style - his main vocations are thieves, concealment and illusion. At first glance, he seems very noble, but in fact he has always taught his believers to protect themselves wisely and not to get involved in things that are too risky. , you need to restrain your desires, and taking a few risks in life is enough to live a stable life... and so on. Under his guidance, in addition to the traditional theft, selling stolen goods and selling information, the main business of the Thieves Guild also includes manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods, operating grocery stores, taverns, hotels, as well as locksmiths, appraisals, etc. In addition to these, there are also some fairly decent professions, such as house and cemetery construction, archeology, and some low- to mid-level civil disaster self-rescue education.
It is naturally not difficult to make money and get rich by doing this. But it is obviously unrealistic to rely on these to reach the pinnacle of life and become proud of the world. If there was no choice, there was nothing wrong with getting rich and living peacefully, but after witnessing the powerful power of His Majesty the Mask of the Void, Rhodes couldn't help but have the idea of changing his faith to another god.
It's not that His Majesty, the God of Thieves, is bad, nor that he doesn't want to go to the Kingdom of the God of Thieves after death, but as we all know, going to the Kingdom of God after death is not that easy. The God of Thieves' limited power and low level of divine realm determine that it is impossible for him to widely accept the souls of believers. Even the president of a town's thieves guild may not necessarily be able to go to the Kingdom of God.
If he can't go to the Kingdom of God, I'm afraid the fate that awaits Rhodes won't be that good - although he hasn't done any shocking evil deeds over the years, the accumulation of crimes such as theft, fraud, and fraud is enough to cut him off. I've looked back several times, not to mention those underworld fights that have absolutely nothing to do with justice.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy the dead Ren again.
Going to the Kingdom of the God of Redemption is not a good choice. The idea of this god is to allow believers to redeem themselves and others. Although Ren redeemed himself, he would not be able to obtain peace and joy until he redeemed enough people and truly completed his own atonement. As the messenger of the God of salvation said, he still has a long way to go. In Rhode's opinion, it was nothing more than avoiding the tragic consequences of falling into hell and exchanging torture for long-term labor.
But...this is already very good!
If you can build a good relationship with His Majesty the Mask of the Void, even if you don't get His protection at ordinary times, as long as you can ask for His blessing when you are dying, you can get a chance to atone your sins and avoid going to hell - just based on this benefit, you can It's enough to make a timid person like Rhodes excited.
Not to mention, His Majesty the Mask of the Void protects his followers so well that it makes people jealous!
There are so many gods in the world, which one would be so angry that his followers would be plotted against him, and would confront the God of Conspiracy head-on?
And also - fight! win! Got it!
In comparison, the God of Thieves, the leader of his own guild, whose status is equivalent to that of the chief priest, didn't notice the betrayal, is really a bit... Alas!
Palin is relatively young, has little experience, and lacks the ability to see people from the subtleties, but Satan is an old man. As a strong man who relies on his brains for a living and even once suppressed Gerald with his intelligence, he could see Rhodes's nature at a glance. Meaning, I couldn't help but smile.
"President Rhodes, let's get straight to the point - do you want to become a believer in our Lord?" he asked bluntly.
This straightforward speaking style obviously made Rhodes, who was used to bargaining slowly, a little uncomfortable. He had originally conceived many lines and suddenly choked up. After a while, he nodded with a wry smile.
"The Immortal Thief (another name for the God of Thieves) is not a God who cares about everything, but as the president of a Thieves Guild, you betray His faith and are not afraid of being punished?" Satan directly asked the most critical question.
Of course, Rhodes had considered this question carefully and immediately answered: "Strictly speaking, I am still only the vice president and have not held a formal sacrificial ceremony. I serve as the president with your majesty's approval. Of course, your majesty will not tolerate it. He must be able to tolerate the conversion of a president, but the vice-president. Besides, no matter what, His Majesty the Mask of the Void is his enemy after all. Even if the enemy's enemy is not an ally, he can at least be an ally. Consider them friends."
"It seems that you have thought clearly and carefully weighed the pros and cons. Then I have another question." Satan said, "Our Majesty is a member of the ancient gods of nature and is not a god who is keen on spreading faith. You want to If you join us, what do you think you can do for His Majesty? If you just believe, then forget it."
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, not expecting to encounter this problem - most gods in this world are keen on spreading faith, because receiving feedback from the power of faith is the most common way to improve the realm of gods. However, for the ancient gods of nature who get their power from the source of the world, whether they have faith or not is not a big deal at all. Whether some people believe in it or not, it has no impact on them.
Therefore, it has become very difficult to join the church under the ancient god of nature.
After all, they had no intention of recruiting people in the first place.
Rhodes thought for a while and then said: "I am quite well-informed in the four northwest towns. And I have a lot of experience in the appraisal industry. Even in the Gold Coin Federation in the south, I am qualified to be considered a master in the industry. In addition, In addition, I am also very good at forging documents, making and dismantling various traps, and I also know a lot about geology, history, flora and fauna..."
"But will these be of any use to my lord?" asked Satan.
Rhodes was silent for a long time, shaking his head in frustration.
Naturally, the Ancient God is an existence outside the civilized world. Those skills that are very useful in the civilized world are of no use to him. As for geology or knowledge of animals and plants, a great god does not need to care about these trivial matters at all.
Just when he was frustrated, Sui Xiong's voice suddenly sounded in the air: "This tavern is run by your thieves guild, right? Can you open a shop?"
Rhodes shook his head: "There is someone else who is responsible for running the tavern. I know very little about business and management."
In front of a god, he would not dare to think of lying.
"So, what about you, Palin?" Sui Xiong asked again.
"Your Majesty, I can learn." Palin immediately replied, "I am still young and can learn quickly. And before I finish my studies, I can find a few veterans from my uncle to help me."
"If you are looking for help, I have more help here!" Rhodes hurriedly took over the topic, "Your Majesty, I know many capable people, and among them there are at least ten businessmen with good qualifications in the past!"
"So, your specialty is connections..." Sui Xiong smiled and said, "Gerald has always suggested that I establish my own church and belief system. Although I haven't made up my mind yet, I will try to establish a pioneering church. Building a village is a good idea. Rhodes, if you are willing to work for me, how about I let you and Palin help build this village?"
"That's no problem! I will definitely be able to do it well!" Rhodes was overjoyed and agreed, patting his chest.
Palin lowered his head and agreed: "Your Majesty, I will do my best."
He knows that he is young and has limited talents, and all he can guarantee is his best effort.
"Don't worry, it's not difficult for us to build a pioneer village." As a result, Rhodes encouraged him in turn, "To build such a village, you only need three things: food, population, and force. In terms of food, Just spend money; in terms of population, it is not difficult to recruit pioneers; as for force, it is not a problem. With the big guy like Gerald, as long as we don’t lose our minds and build the village in the Ashes Forest, the most ferocious few Can a mere skeleton next to the legendary monster's lair be able to block his axe?"
Everyone suddenly realized that, as Rhodes said, it is not difficult to build a pioneer village in the Ashes Forest with the support of force and lack of money.
Just like sowing seeds, if the seeds are good, the soil and climate are suitable, and there is no shortage of water and fertilizer, then all we need is careful care and patience.
Thinking of this, both Palin and Satan couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps for His Majesty the Mask of the Void, building a pioneer village is just a trivial game. But for them, this is an opportunity to dedicate their strength to the gods they believe in.
Naturally, the ancient gods have always had no desires and demands, and their followers often have no sense of existence. However, this world has its own rules. If a believer cannot follow the god's ideas, or if the god makes enough contributions, then even if his soul is taken into the kingdom of god after death, he will not be able to reincarnate well and become a god with a near-immortal life. Sexual creatures. In the Kingdom of the Ancient God of Nature, there are countless souls who have not been able to successfully complete reincarnation and just sleep peacefully between life and death, waking up occasionally.
Neither Palin nor Satan wanted that outcome. So of course they have to work hard to contribute more to their gods while they are still alive, so that they can be reincarnated smoothly after death.
For the first formal task assigned by the gods, they all wanted to do their best to complete it well and set a positive benchmark for subsequent believers. It also lays a solid and reliable floor tile for yourself on the road to reincarnation in the Kingdom of God.
So soon, they began to discuss in detail the specific plan to establish a pioneer village: Where to purchase supplies? Where to recruit villagers? Where will the village be located? How about transportation? How to build it specifically? Questions were raised one after another and solutions were discussed.
Sui Xiong listened with interest at first, but then he became bored. He transferred his energy outside the tavern to see how Gerald was doing, and saw that Gerald was teaching martial arts to the thieves. Although this big man was becoming more and more honest and honest, his nature of being a teacher had not disappeared. As soon as he saw this group of thieves, They were good materials with little skill but good physique, so I couldn't help but want to teach them something.
Sui Xiong didn't want to disturb his followers because they were busy. So he calmed down and started reading the information given to him by the God of Redemption...
