Banner of the Evil God

Woer was originally from a small merchant family, and was almost a grassroots in society. He learned martial arts when he was young. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, his family suffered a misfortune. Not only did he lose everything, but he also owed a large sum of money. In desperation, he had to venture into the world and become an adventurer. It took him almost ten years and many life and death experiences to pay back the money.

After paying off his debts, he lost his desire to take risks and started a family. He originally planned to live a peaceful life, but he did not expect that misfortune would come. Therefore, there was a legendary story of the black blade unsheathed to kill the nobleman, and there was a peerless hero that the nobles of the world feared the most in the past hundred years.

All these past events have passed, but Woer will not forget them. Even though He has become a god, He is still not friendly to merchants and nobles, but rather friendly to adventurers, which is quite inconsistent with His "knowledge" priesthood.

In recent years, he has gained insights from self-cultivation and has been influenced by the power of faith. He has gradually changed and is no longer so hostile to merchants and nobles. On the contrary, he is willing to favor merchants and nobles who are willing to learn or help spread culture, so his faith has gradually spread among the middle and upper classes.

In any case, knowledge is always an extremely important force. Mastering knowledge is mastering huge resources, which is very helpful in both fighting and governance. The nobles and businessmen may not care, but those elites who yearn for the upper class are keen on learning and are actively cultivating their own teams - all of this cannot avoid "knowledge".

Not only that, many spellcasters also respect Vol. Especially the academic mages, they have always believed that knowledge is the foundation of magic, mages should first be scholars, and the cultivation of mages should start with cultural education. These are all behaviors that tend to Vol's faith, and many of them have even become Vol's believers.

So when Woer came to the Mystic Tower Federation and called on his church and believers to expand and establish a sphere of influence belonging to the scholar culture circle in the once iron-clad country of mages, he did not get the indifference that Sui Xiong had originally worried about, but a warm welcome and support.

Because of the death of the god of spellcasters, Lamperus, the people of the Mystic Tower Federation are now in panic, and everyone is a little uneasy. Especially those mages, for a long time, Imya Lamperus has been the patron saint of the Federation and the stabilizer in everyone's hearts. No matter how many storms the Federation has experienced, as long as he is there, everyone is full of confidence.

However, he is gone.

Since the establishment of the Federation, he has been like a towering mountain, withstanding all kinds of pressure. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he can make the right choice, or simply break the dilemma with his own powerful strength. Generation after generation, from ancestors to descendants, the people of the Federation have long been accustomed to his existence, and even developed the habit of "praying to Master Lamperus when they encounter troubles."

This is just like on Earth, Easterners often sigh "God", while Westerners love to sigh "My God".

However, He has fallen. The "God" and "God" of the Mystic Tower Federation are no longer there.

This makes many people feel empty in their hearts. When people encounter difficulties, they often subconsciously pray to Lamperus silently, praying for blessings, and then suddenly remember that the patron saint of the Federation is gone...

So many people will suddenly cry, crying hard.

At this moment, the Church of the God of Knowledge stood up, promoted its doctrines, and called on everyone to believe in the God of Knowledge, just seizing this opportunity. Those people with empty hearts are looking for someone to rely on, and the God of Knowledge has made them quite fond of both doctrines and experiences. Once the propaganda and call were made, many people went with the flow and directly believed in Vol.

Of course, Vol was not the only god who saw the opportunity to preach. In fact, the churches of various gods took this opportunity to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to preach in the Mystic Tower Federation.

However, missionary work is not something that you can succeed by investing manpower and material resources. Faith is not a transaction. If your doctrine cannot be recognized by others, then even if they join your church, they cannot become true believers.

This situation is called "false faith", which means "I say I believe, but I don't".

The situation above it is called "pan-belief", which means "Although I don't believe much in normal times, at least I believe when I pray".

Pan-believers are also believers, but their faith is not firm. Even at least half of pan-believers believe in several gods at the same time. In various situations, they will choose to pray to different gods in the hope of being blessed.

This is like the Orientals on the earth, who believe in heaven, gods and ancestors. In short, whoever is willing to bless him, he is willing to believe in.

Many Westerners think that the faith of Orientals is hypocritical and that faith has become a business. They think that faith should be a one-sided contribution, and as for the blessing of gods, that is a matter after the contribution. In fact, whether there is a blessing or not should not affect the contribution.

On this basis, they also developed the idea that "everyone should believe in our god, and those who don't should be dragged out and chopped to death", and then developed to the point that "all believers should worship and understand God according to our sect, otherwise they are heretics and should be dragged out and chopped to death."

In response to this, most Orientals just laughed "haha" and silently sighed "the brain is sick".

This kind of belief certainly exists in this world. Those who only pay without asking for anything in return are called devout believers; those who think that not believing in their own gods is a crime are called fanatics.

In addition, there is a type of people whose life philosophy is basically consistent with the teachings of gods, so that their behavior is basically in line with the teachings. This is the rarest and is called true faith.

Believers between devout faith and universal faith only believe in one god, but if this god does not bless them, they cannot be expected to be loyal. If necessary, they will change their beliefs. This is called "true faith".

False faith, universal faith, true faith, and devout faith are the four most common beliefs. Except for the lowest level of false faith, the other three require a certain degree of recognition of the teachings of gods before they can be realized.

The Secret Tower Federation is a country of mages, and modern mage theory is built on the basis of culture. Therefore, in this country, even an old farmer who can't read a single word knows to respect culture, so the teachings of the God of Knowledge can easily be recognized by everyone, and it is very convenient to preach.

As for other gods, they naturally do not have such advantages, and their missionary efficiency is far inferior to that of the Church of the God of Knowledge.

And the Church of the God of Knowledge has another huge advantage, they are rich.

Rich, very rich, very rich!

Encountering such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Sui Xiong certainly would not care about the money. In his opinion, spending money naturally is also promoting social progress - haven't you heard of GDP? Making money and spending money, that's all GDP!

So he gave an order, and a huge amount of money was spent like water, which can be said to be paving the way for gold coins.

It's not easy to make money, but who can't spend money!

With sufficient funds, the Church of the God of Knowledge really doesn't care about the cost when preaching, and even the missionary pastors in some areas shouted the slogan "We want to promote universal education."

This made the churches of other gods jealous, but none of them could come up with so much money, so they could only be jealous.

In just four or five days, the Church of the God of Knowledge expanded wildly in the Secret Tower Federation, adding at least hundreds of thousands of believers, and it is still increasing. There were even more than one city ruler, a high-ranking wizard sitting on top of the Wizard Tower, who chose to believe in him.

With the increase in the number of believers, the power of Vor was also increasing rapidly, and before he knew it, he had actually stepped into the level of medium power.
