Chapter 204 Civilization: Religious Immigration
When the oracle came down, due to various reasons, Peter and others who almost gathered at the altar of creation were shocked.
"Quantity limit?"
"The Church of Knowledge is now unable to gather more believers?"
“Does the Lord not want us to continue preaching to more people?”
Peter was confused at first.
After checking the specific content of the [Religious Immigration Mission] in the oracle, he understood.
"Oh...I seem to understand!"
“Praise the God of knowledge!”
…
There is a common sense that everyone on Prentiss continent knows.
The power of gods mainly comes from the faith of mortals.
But not all mortals can receive real blessings from gods after believing.
The reality is that the number of mortals who are truly blessed is only a fraction of the total.
The more mortals who offer their faith to a god, and the richer the source of their faith, the more powerful the god will be, and the number of mortals he can bless will gradually increase.
On the contrary, as the number of believers decreases, the amount of blessings God can bestow will also decrease, and the blessings He once sent may even be withdrawn.
This increase or decrease is not a linear change, but occurs in stages.
Every time the monster red tide breaks out, the number of blessings from the god will change based on the number of his followers.
In addition, extremely rare aberration materials or certain special items found on some monsters can increase the number of blessings after being dedicated to the gods through magical rituals.
Mortals who donate items often receive large amounts of blessing rewards.
Therefore, even if it is a foreign god with few believers and a very partial and weak priesthood, the church established by believers has never limited the number of believers.
The missionaries of the corresponding church have always attracted as many people as they can to offer their faith to the gods.
After all, the more believers there are, the more people will be blessed after the monster red tide in the second year.
Not to mention gods like the God of Craftsmen who are popular and powerful to ordinary people.
Priests don't have to explain doctrines and preach the gospel, and ordinary people will squeeze their heads to try to offer their faith to Him.
Of course, the church's clergy will not reject these people's appeals, and they will hold regular initiation ceremonies.
The magical ritual materials needed to lead ordinary people to recite prayers are certainly not free.
This part of the cost is borne by those participating in the ceremony.
The church can also make some money from it.
Whether you can receive blessings from the gods after reciting prayers is another matter.
Anyway, the priests just perform ceremonies and charge fees.
As for saying that you haven’t been blessed since you believed in it?
That’s because you are not pious enough;
Your qualifications are not enough to be recognized by the gods!
It has nothing to do with the church anyway.
It was the same offering of faith, so why did other people who participated in the ceremony receive blessings from the gods, but you didn't?
Have you ever reflected on yourself, whether you haven’t worked hard enough.
…
Petello lamented: "Other churches don't even consider whether the believers they recruit can receive blessings. Their priests will only preach that as long as they are devout enough, they can receive blessings after meeting the qualifications."
"As for how to meet the qualifications, they don't know." "After all, they have already qualified to receive blessings, and they are separated from ordinary people."
"They recruit new church members because they are worried that the gods may withdraw their blessings when their power becomes less. They just use a larger base of believers to ensure the stability of their blessings."
"The God of Knowledge is different. He exists in the old days. He must have a unique way to obtain power!"
"Otherwise, how could He send blessings to all believers in such a fair and selfless way that believers can get His rewards as long as they pray devoutly."
“He clearly told us that only 1,000 believers can receive His gift now!”
"[Perfect permission] should be a way for the Lord to gain more divine power, so that He can give us more blessings!"
The goal is clear.
I want to expand the church, preach the doctrine to more people, and most importantly, let more people receive the power of blessing from the God of knowledge.
Then you have to follow the guidance of the God of Knowledge and explore the dangerous and mysterious dark caves.
For the current believers of the Seeking for Knowledge Church, the word "danger" can be ignored to a certain extent.
Having the magic of [Rebirth] is just a life, isn’t it?
Death means death. After being resurrected in the altar of creation, he becomes a good man again. The worst he can do is practice the legendary level again!
……
The only problem at the moment is:
The number of believers in the Misty Valley is still too small!
Because Noven recruited believers in Green Harbor at the beginning. At that time, he did not know about the upper limit of the number of believers, so that more than 80% of the believers were there, and most of them were ordinary people, and they had no intention of doing so. Become a pro and fight.
After the Glow God Religion issued an expulsion order for heretics, the speed of preaching in Green Harbor slowed down significantly, and some ordinary pan-believers even abandoned their faith.
The point is that there are still a large number of believers remaining in Greenport.
After considering it, they had no plans to take risks and did not follow Noven's guidance to the Misty Valley.
In the past, Noven could understand the reasons why these people were unwilling to take risks and fight.
Now, that's different!
[Rebirth] The divine spell needs to be registered at the Altar of Creation, and various developments in the Misty Valley are almost on track!
The conditions for religious immigration have been met!
Why are you still staying in Greenport?
If you don’t have to worry about death, what else do you need to worry about?
The size of the dark crypt is so huge that the more than 100 believers in the valley may not even be able to make a splash if they enter it.
Norwin needs more people.
He plans to call a large number of believers in Green Harbor over!
The [Religious Immigration] mission was issued by him for this purpose.
This is the first punishing mission Noven has released.
The mission requires believers who have not yet gone to the Misty Valley to arrive at the Misty Valley within 60 days and explore the dark crypt at least once within 180 days.
The penalty for failure is simple and severe.
The blessings are withdrawn and the believer's qualifications are lost!
With the [Rebirth] magic, these mission requirements are not difficult to meet.
Even though the name of the task issued by Noven was [Religious Immigration], he did not actually force believers to immigrate and settle in the Misty Valley.
After exploring the Dark Crypt once and completing the mission, they can also choose to return to Green Harbor if they are not too troublesome.
This can be regarded as a great mobilization of all believers by Novan!
Novan, the great god of knowledge, provides all believers with blessings and guidance, allowing them to change their own destiny.
Now is the time for believers to repay this blessing.
And for those believers who are willing to immigrate from Green Harbor, Novin has also given quite generous rewards.
…
There will be another update later! Something was delayed!
