Summoning Total War

Chapter 34 Temple (Part 1)

Which building in the town of Athens consumes the most manpower and material resources?

There is no doubt that it is a temple!

Since the emergence of holy water, the temple has always been the focus of town development, and the pace of its construction has never stopped. Nowadays, most of the stones mined in the town are used in the construction of temples, including white marble floors, magnificent statues of gods, and marble columns that are more than fifty centimeters wide and more than ten meters high, which took a lot of effort to transport.

It can be said that even Murphy's Governor's Mansion is far inferior to the Temple!

However, all efforts are rewarded.

By the time Murphy arrived at the central square, work on the final portion of the temple had been completed.

The high priest wore a well-tailored slender priest's robe, and stood quietly and softly on the steps of the temple with a smile. The spring afternoon sun shines on her body, making her snow-white sacrificial robe seem to be dyed with Xia Pei, exuding a faint golden light, holy, noble and beautiful!

This woman seems to rarely speak and has no clever control skills at all.

This made Murphy once wonder how such a gentle woman could effectively manage the affairs in the temple. But now it seems that he doesn't have to worry at all. This woman is like a spring breeze, able to penetrate people's hearts and influence others without even realizing it!

This may be the charm and influence brought by religious belief.

At this point, even Murphy can't resist!

At least he really hoped to see the gentle look of the high priest praying quietly in the morning light on the steps of the central square before a busy day.

This is the most beautiful scenery in the town.

The layout of the temple has doubled compared to the past. In addition to the main hall, there are three smaller side halls and some rooms prepared for waiters.

Under the statue of the main hall, there is a clear pool with a diameter of about three meters, which is connected to the drainage system of the temple. I don’t know whether it is using magic or other means to form a small fountain inside, with a water column of about one meter. It is so high that the hall is filled with the fresh air of rain and dew.

On both sides are six marble columns, and then there is a row of prayer mats, which are prepared for priests and devout believers.

In the early prayer rituals of gods, in order to show piety, people knelt on their knees and then straightened their waists to pray. This is not only a way to sharpen the will of believers, but also to exercise believers.

To worship God, you naturally have to kneel down and worship.

The statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is still the same as before, holding a scepter in one hand and thunder in the other!

When you look at it, you can see the aura of the King of Olympus Gods!

But this time, Murphy found that the white light on the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was much thicker than before.

And after the expansion of the temple was completed, not only did the statue of the god have a faint radiance, but even other things in the temple seemed to have been affected and radiated, stained with a little bit of bright white brilliance!

In the entire temple, apart from the statue of the god, the high priest's body has the most radiance, and even a hint of light gold will be faintly revealed under the sunlight.

It seems that this woman is really loved by the goddess!

Murphy couldn't help but think to himself.

After roughly observing the changes in the temple, Murphy waited for the temple data to be reorganized and found a quiet corner to start checking the data changes in the "Total War" auxiliary system.

Seeing this, he was immediately shocked!

Temple: Temple of Leadership

Level: Level 3 temple. (Temple, can be expanded.) (Note: Magnificent temples can always gain the respect of mortals, increasing the chance of gaining followers.)

Deity: Athena

Portfolio: Wisdom, War, Peace, Fertility, Craftsmanship

Divine Powers: Lower Divine Power (Balance), Thunder (this is the power of the King of Olympus Gods!)

Divine spells: Granted by third-level divine spells.

Possessing clergy: 24 (the maximum number of clergy that can be cultivated is 81) [1 high priest, 12 priests, 1 divine attendant, and 10 apostles. 】

Number of believers: 1,896.

Next level: Added level 4 divine magic gift. After upgrading the temple, the temple guard can be promoted to a templar (combat experience +1).

Description: The third-level temple has magical powers that can grant priests the ability to cure diseases and provide protection, as well as a small amount of spiritual magic, and can cultivate temple guardian knights with good combat abilities. Through this temple, which has been blessed by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the priests can produce twenty-four ounces of holy water every day. Holy water can speed up the healing of wounds and treat some simple illnesses. Once the holy water is taken away from the temple, it loses its effectiveness after twenty-four hours.

If these data alone are not enough to shock Murphy!

What really made him lose his temper was a data description at the back of the temple system. There were two words in it that were both familiar and unfamiliar to Murphy - faith!

At the bottom of the temple system, the auxiliary system lists an additional set of data that is different from the above!

Temple: Temple of Leadership

Level: Level 3 temple.

Deity: Athena (lower divine power)

Priesthood: Wisdom (enabled), War (enabled), Peace, Fertility, Craftsmanship

Power of Faith: +1151 (one month) [clergy +200, believers +851, idols +100. 】

Temple faith: 2142/15000 (the upper limit of faith power)

Divine Favor: War Priesthood.

[Grant of Divine Power]: Athena, the goddess of wisdom, consumes the power of faith to give the soldiers some special powers. These powers are provided by the war priesthood! Only those who have experienced brutal battles and have a strong will can use and master this special power given by the goddess! (The high priest is required to preside over the divine grace ceremony.)

[Level 1 Divine Power Grant - Fanaticism]: This divine power grant allows soldiers to temporarily ignore pain and burst out with more powerful combat power! But similarly, after the outbreak ends, the soldiers will have almost no combat effectiveness and will need a day to recover! (Consumption 100/1, power of faith/population.)

Explanation: Although it is only low-level divine power, it is also a gift from the gods!

Divine Power: Wisdom Priesthood.

[Biological Slavery]: This is the leadership wisdom belonging to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. She teaches believers how to enslave other humanoid creatures. The effect of enslavement is determined by the priesthood and divine power. (A divine attendant is required to preside over the divine ceremony.)

[Level 1 Humanoid Slavery—Gnoll]: Ask Athena, the goddess of wisdom, to grant the knowledge of enslaving this creature, which requires a one-time consumption of 5,000 faith power. The number of enslaved gnolls is determined by the Apostle. (The enslavement level of humanoid creatures determines the enslavement effect and quantity of the apostle.)

Explanation: Gods are omnipotent, but divine servants are not! Our divine servants can't turn these gnolls into loyal hounds, but they can at least make them obedient.

Next level: requires 6,000 believers and a fourth-level temple.

God’s grace is like the sea, God’s power is like prison!

Murphy couldn't help but think of this sentence after reading the new temple data.

The [Divine Grace] and [Divine Power] systems that came out after data reorganization are undoubtedly a great weapon!

Although there is a great demand for faith, with it, you can widen the physical gap with other creatures in this plane.

This is undoubtedly a very important point to improve one's own strength!

And at first glance, the data given now is just the beginning. There is obviously more powerful divine power to be given later!

The only troublesome thing is.

The accumulation of power of faith seems to be very slow?
