Chapter 475 Frustration
A very rare expression of suspicion appeared on Yan Hu’s rough face.
“What tricks are you talking about?”
He heard clearly what Reina said.
But it was hard for him to believe it.
Because how things sound makes him feel unreliable!
Dwarves and humans belong to different races, and their attitudes towards faith are also very different.
Especially about the aspect of "blessing".
The human aspect.
From the church to the masses, the general concept is that when the affinity with the corresponding god is high enough, the more devout and firm the faith is, the easier it is to receive his blessings.
The meaning of this concept is that even if you are the chosen son of a god who is chasing after you to feed you, if you do not believe in this god and are unwilling to offer your faith to him, then you will not receive his blessing.
The sequence is:
First, you must have enough affinity, secondly, you must offer your faith, and finally you must receive blessings from the gods.
Necessary conditions, sufficient conditions, and results.
This was the case with Lena in the past.
She has a high affinity with the Shadow God, but she has never tried to pray to the Shadow God Murphy, nor has she performed a ritual to offer her faith, so she has never discovered her talent and potential.
The dwarves are different.
The dwarves of Stone Castle believe that the blessings from the gods come from the manifestation of the power of their ancestors' blood.
This is an innate talent of dwarves.
Before adulthood, if you can inspire the ancestral power inherited in your blood, you will be rewarded with blessings from the gods!
The problem lies here!
Even a dwarf who has not prayed to the Forge God and is not a follower of Gunnir.
It is also possible that when the "power in the blood" is stimulated, he will immediately receive the blessing of the gods and master the corresponding casting magic.
The dwarves believe this because they have tangible evidence.
Historically, there were many dwarf babies who could not speak even long after they were born. As long as something related to the forging god Gunnir, such as a forging hammer, was handed into his hands, he would be able to speak. The prototype of the corresponding divine spell is released out of thin air.
It can’t be said that because of prenatal education, the baby has already established faith in the mother’s belly, right?
The dwarves firmly believe that this is the greatest manifestation of the power of their blood.
......
So, in Yanhu’s view, the credibility of what Reina told was basically zero.
Things that flow in the blood, if they are there, they are there, and if they are not, they are not.
Yanhu didn't believe it.
“There is such a good way, why don’t you use it?”
“Little human girl, I am almost 160 years old, which is considered middle-aged among dwarves. I have eaten The bread together is longer than the distance you have walked."
Yan Hu educated Reina in turn.
“What haven’t I seen in such a long time?”
"More than a hundred years ago, when I was about to become an adult, I was also thinking that my bloodline must be good enough. It's just that the great Gunnier is busy and hasn't found time to give me a blessing yet."
"At that time, I might have been attracted by your tricks."
"But as time went by, many things gradually became clear."
"No matter what Without His blessing, my life would be the same."
"On the contrary, it is the young guys who try to take shortcuts and do not believe in the old dwarf, and some even do it on impulse. He did something wrong, was deceived by outsiders with malicious intentions, and finally turned into a monster that lost its mind.”
"I can see, little girl, you don't have any bad intentions."
"But no matter where you heard the so-called methods from, listen to Lao Yanhu's advice, don't believe those things that sound bad. A tempting statement!"
"There is an old saying among the dwarves."
"If someone gives you a piece of gold, he will definitely take something from you."
Leina was speechless and choked.
She finally experienced the stubbornness of a dwarf.
If it were a human being, especially one who is bold, dares to take risks, and is desperate. When they hear that there is such an opportunity, many people will definitely dare to give it a try.
Not to mention goblins.
In the face of interests, they become more courageous.
Only these stubborn dwarves.
Their life in the stone castle is indeed pretty good. The weapons and equipment forged by the dwarves are sold well all over the continent, so that these guys are not very short of money and have enough food and clothing.
Not just Lena.
Pate and others underestimated the difficulty of preaching to the dwarves.
Because the two parties have no previous friendship and understanding!
This is different from preaching in places like Green Harbor or Ceylon Territory.
In the past, those who preached the gospel were basically family members and friends. They knew each other well and believed that the other party would not cheat them, so the faith spread quickly.
Dwarf Stone Castle is a standard unfamiliar place for believers who seek knowledge.
Without acquaintances as a catalyst for preaching, just telling stories and drawing cakes with your mouth is completely insufficient for a typical dwarf like Yanhu.
Even if all the bread is offered to him, he will refuse it vigilantly.
Reina couldn't really force the cake into Yanhu's mouth.
The casting magic inherited and blessed by the Freeman family is also a magic that only dwarves can learn.
Leina can’t learn.
As for other benefits of believing in the God of Knowledge, such as learning other magic and divine arts?
Not to mention that dwarves are generally not interested in magic.
Not to mention divine magic, the three dwarf gods held them tightly and never let go.
Many dwarves are natural warriors, probably because they are keen on forging iron. They are generally physically strong and can easily inspire and control the anger in their bodies.
Relying on anger and combat skills to attract people has no effect.
It’s just like stones in a latrine, smelly and hard!
……
It's not just Lena who is frustrated.
The other believers who scattered into the stone castle and were exploring the place in different ways soon encountered similar difficulties.
Following the clues of the man in black robe, many people are stuck on how to enter the second floor of the stone castle.
They were all stopped outside the elevator by the dwarf guards.
The mission could not be advanced, and there happened to be a new mission to preach. The rewards were generous, and many people were interested.
As a result, they all suffered.
Dwarves are stubborn.
There were even some who were more sensitive. As soon as they heard what the seeker believers said about "allowing them to master the magic they want to use," they immediately became vigilant and called the guards directly.
They regard believers who seek knowledge as cultists.
Trying to sneak into the stone castle to spread the dangerous power of the evil god!
Ever since.
The first day that Norwin’s missionary mission was released.
The progress of the dwarf believers is stuck at 3/1000.
There are also a large number of threads complaining and complaining about the Temple of Truth.
【Help! I found a square and just started preaching. I was pushed to the ground and kicked and beaten violently. I was almost thrown into jail. Now I am in urgent need of treatment from a priest! 】
[The dwarves are more stubborn than the other, they are not even willing to try it! 】
【You guys are pretty good, at least you responded. I struck up a conversation with a bunch of dwarves on the road, but none of them even talked to me. I felt like I was like air! 】
