Chapter 967 The test begins
With the tribal population as a stable channel for obtaining high-quality members, the recent expansion of the state religion has been going quite well.
State religion branches have been established in Black Moon City, grasslands, mountains, and even in the rainforest area.
Not to mention other places, in the rainforest area, the whole work went very smoothly.
After all, blessed by the rank of 'Dragon Lord', the lizard people over there in the rain forest are all his most loyal believers.
In terms of loyalty alone, they are really the most loyal group of people in their Great Zhou Dynasty.
When we got there, as soon as the state church branch was established, Bollevin was directly promoted to the branch bishop on the spot.
However, Zhou Xu actually had some concerns about these lizard people.
Why are the lizard people loyal to him?
To put it bluntly, it is because of his rank of 'Dragon Lord'.
Their deepest loyalty is to the Dragon Clan, and they believe in Ceylon, the Dragon God who created them, not Zhou Xu.
After clearing his thoughts and realizing this, it was difficult for Zhou Xu not to think too much.
After all, with this belief system, who knows when it will become unreliable?
If nothing else, let’s just talk about Bam, the son of the Dragon God.
Zhou Xu was not sure what his previous relationship was with Dragon God Ceylon.
But no matter how strong the relationship is, can it still be stronger than his own son?
Zhou Xu did not believe that Dragon God Ceylon left nothing to his biological son.
Even if there is really no such thing.
Bam’s lineage from the ancient dragon clan and his identity as the son of the Dragon God are enough to make the lizard people bow to him.
If Bam gives an order to the lizard people in the future, and that order is contrary to his order, then who will the lizard people listen to?
To be honest, Zhou Xu believed that Bam's authority was most likely higher than his.
In this way, from Zhou Xu's perspective, the lizard people can be used, but he cannot rely on the lizard people for everything, let alone focus on the lizard people. He must Be prepared for some worst-case scenarios.
Of course, Zhou Xu didn’t mind trying more before the worst happened.
The state religion is undoubtedly his attempt. He wants to see if he can transfer the lizard people's belief in the dragon god to his state religion.
If the lizard man no longer believes in the Dragon God, but instead believes in the state religion, and has been baptized by the state religion, can he completely transfer the lizard man's loyalty to the dragon god to himself?
At this stage, this is just an idea, and the specific implementation will have to be carried out slowly.
Getting back to the topic, in a few words, Zhou Xu had already arranged things here.
He didn't have to rest after that, so he turned around and went to the racecourse outside the city to talk to Ma Guotao about breeding new war horses.
Looking at the porcelain bottle handed over by His Majesty, the Ma Guotao people were dumbfounded after learning that the bottle contained a drop of blood essence of an extraordinary creature.
Grass! What an extraordinary creature!
He originally thought that if His Majesty wanted to obtain the blood essence of extraordinary creatures, he would have to wait several months no matter how quickly he wanted to obtain it, right? Even if things don't go well, it is very likely that we will have to wait for a year and a half, or even longer.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, His Majesty would have brought back the blood essence of this extraordinary creature.
"I was lucky. As soon as I got there, I bumped into an extraordinary creature."
"..."
Ma Guotao was speechless, what kind of luck did their majesty have?
He has been on this grassland for so long, but he has never seen any extraordinary creatures. His Majesty bumped into them as soon as they arrived?
But in fact, Ma Guotao's idea is wrong.
When he came, this grassland had already been completely occupied by the Great Zhou. Under such circumstances, even if there were extraordinary creatures, they would definitely choose to leave.
Except for a few particularly violent ones, under normal circumstances, extraordinary creatures with high intelligence will generally not conflict with large forces, because they know that this will cause trouble for themselves. With this in mind, they tend to avoid it.
Looking back at the new area, so far, they have not found any traces of large forces.
The existence of general primitive tribes not only poses no threat to extraordinary creatures, it can even be said to provide them with a relatively stable hunting channel.
The primitive tribe at that time was the hunting ground of that black ferocious beast. If they broke into each other's hunting ground, they would bump into each other. Isn't that natural?
"Then Your Majesty, should we start directly now?"
Zhou Xu nodded.
"Start directly!"
Even if you successfully evolve a beast-level or extraordinary-level war horse, subsequent reproduction will take a lot of time. Therefore, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the sooner you start this work, the better. .
Ma Guotao, who received a positive reply, did not show much excitement, but instead had a bit of solemnity between his brows.
Every bloody horse in this racecourse is his hard work.
On weekdays, if any horse is injured, he will feel uncomfortable for a long time.
And this time, if the test fails, there is a high probability that it will die directly, and it is very likely that more than one horse will die.
When he thought of this, Ma Guotao felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
However, he also knew that the results of this cultivation were directly related to the growth of their military strength in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had no room to refuse.
Walking into the racecourse and looking at the excellent horses he had raised, Ma Guotao's heartache became even more intense.
"Your Majesty, will you choose the best directly?"
"Just pick the best one!"
Compared to Ma Guotao, who was in heartache, Zhou Xu's tone was full of determination.
Zhou Xu is not sure what the key factors that affect this success rate are.
Then just choose the better one. The better the quality of the sweat horse, the higher the success rate. This idea is always correct, right?
According to Zhou Xu's thinking at this time, if even the best sweat horse in the racecourse cannot absorb this drop of blood smoothly, then the other sweat horses will most likely be in vain. .
At that time, he may look at the situation and consider other methods.
While his thoughts were whirling, Ma Guotao had already personally led out a yellow horse.
Under the sun, the yellow fur exudes a metallic luster, and the beautiful muscle lines are even more dazzling.
When Zhou Xu made the decision before, he didn’t feel much at all.
After seeing this horse, he suddenly felt a little bit like Ma Guotao's mood.
Not to mention Ma Guotao, who had trained him single-handedly, even he felt a trace of reluctance in his heart at this moment.
【How about keeping this horse? Change one? 】
This thought just flashed through his mind, and then he quickly shook it out of his head.
At the same time, his eyes became firm.
Compared with their great cause in Dazhou, these are nothing!
In order to avoid disturbing other horses in the racecourse, they took the horse and went to a separate stable next door.
Then after a short discussion, it was decided to let Ma Guotao do the operation himself.
