"Excuse me... have you heard of the great master of nature?"

The girl's soft voice sounded on the spot.

Oris was a little dumbfounded, turned around subconsciously, and looked at the Lord of Darkness aside.

On the side, the Lord of Darkness had a faint smile on his face, but he still looked like an ordinary child. There was nothing unusual about him.

Seeing this, Oris could only bite the bullet and turn around, and said tremblingly, "I've never heard of it..."

As for the masters of nature, Oris and the Lord of Obscurity have naturally heard of them.

Not only have I heard of it, but I have personally encountered it.

As one of the gods in the dark domain, although the Lord of Darkness and the natural master representing the natural domain are not mortal enemies, it is impossible for them to have a good relationship.

This is determined by the camp and not transferred by personal will.

And as a god, when the Lord of Darkness was at his peak, he had naturally come into contact with, and even personally met, the Lord of Nature.

As for Oris, although he has not been in contact with the master of nature, he is not unfamiliar with the reputation of the master of nature.

In this era, those who can serve as god priests must have a good understanding of each god. I dare not say that they must know everything, but at least they must have a general grasp of their life and authority.

Otherwise, one day the enemy will come to you, I am afraid you will not know it yet.

But at this moment, he was playing an ordinary old man, so naturally he couldn't tell the truth.

"That's great."

Hearing what Oris said, the girl's face showed joy, and then she said: "You two, please allow me to take a moment of your time, let me explain to you our great Lord of Nature... ..”

After saying this, she then began to explain, starting from the origin of the Lord of Nature, and briefly introducing it.

This is, want to pull us into teaching?

Oris and the Lord of Darkness looked at each other, feeling extremely strange at this moment.

In front of another god himself, he wanted to draw him into his church and become a believer of his god...  

Is there anything more absurd than this in this world?

The corner of Oris' mouth twitched, looking at the girl who kept talking in front of him, he opened his mouth to interrupt her, but stopped after thinking about it.

The role he is playing now is a refugee who fled from afar.

With such an identity, facing a noble priest, he should not have the guts to interrupt him.

So in order to maintain his personality, Oris still resisted the strange feeling in his heart, and just listened to the other party.

Moreover, the girl in front of him didn't just tell them alone, there were other people who gathered together.

Among the crowd, the girl's face was flushed, and she kept praising the achievements of the Lord of Nature, looking like she was giving a speech.

"As long as you are willing to join our church, you will have the opportunity to receive relief every month, and you will have a free lunch at the temple..."

After a lecture, the girl said the last and most critical sentence.

Immediately, the people around who were not interested stopped suddenly.

They looked at each other, and they both saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.

It was a heart-pounding feeling.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

Several people followed the girl and left. Looking at it, it seemed that they were going to register at the shrine of the Lord of Nature.

Oris breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to move forward.

But not long after, another old man in a pitch-black robe with a kind face approached.

"Dear friend, have you ever been troubled by illness?"

The old man stepped forward, with a kind smile on his face, and a faint aura of divine power lingering around his body.

This is the sacrifice of...another god.

Oris' body froze immediately.

At this moment, he vaguely knew what would happen next.

Sure enough, everything happened as he expected.

The old man in front of him is the priest of the God of Potion, and he also came here to preach.

After a while, Oris got rid of the priest.

Together with the Lord of Obscurity, he walked to the side wearily, and carefully glanced at the Lord of Obscurity at the side.

Beside him, the Lord of Obscurity still had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in high spirits along the way, showing no sign of displeasure.

This made Oris secretly relieved.

However, the previous experience also made Oris a little tired and vigilant.

In order to avoid continuing to encounter similar situations, he decided to change his previous strategy, no longer pretending to be a poor man, but directly spent money to find a guide.

There are many such people around.

In this city, because of the increasing number of foreign refugees, there are many people who specialize in doing business with these people.

Oris found a fairly good guide without spending much money.

"Look at you, sir, you haven't been harassed by those missionaries..."

On the way, the guide looked at Oris's somewhat ugly face, and immediately guessed his experience.

"Sorry, compared to other places, our priests here are a bit...too enthusiastic..."

"Too enthusiastic?"

Oris lowered his head, recalled the scene he had experienced before, and then couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Counting the time, he can be regarded as a person who has lived for hundreds of years, but he has never seen such a passionate sacrifice.

He even blatantly recruited people to teach on the street.

This is too much......

"correct......."

Thinking of the experience just now, Oris thought of something again: "Why are there so many churches here?"

Belief in this kind of thing has a certain exclusivity.

In most cases, there will only be one mainstream belief in a region, and the beliefs of other gods will be expelled.

But in front of him, there were only priests from different churches, and Oris had already seen three of them.

This situation is undoubtedly extremely rare, and it also makes Oris a little curious.

"Is this..."

The guide was not surprised by Oris's question, and subconsciously said: "In the Kingdom of Hatim, there is a missionary law formulated by King Hatim himself..."

"As long as it is registered in the Kingdom of Hatim, the recognized church can obtain a parish in the Kingdom of Hatim for missionary purposes."

"real?"

Hearing this, Oris was stunned for a moment, and even the Lord of Darkness turned around.

And this good thing?

As long as you are willing to register, will you give a parish to specialize in preaching?

Oris' eyes flickered, and at this moment his heart moved inexplicably.

In this world, beliefs large and small occupy every area.

Even among the primitive tribes in the desert, most of them also have the belief of a certain god.

If you want to acquire these beliefs, you have to fight with the masters of these beliefs.

The difficulty is very difficult as one can imagine.

It is precisely because of the inability to obtain a stable source of belief that many churches will gradually weaken and be suppressed until they die.

But now, as long as you are willing to register and be recognized in the Kingdom of Hatim, can you directly obtain a stable parish?

As the priest of the Lord of Obscurity, Oris had to admit that he was a little moved by the nominal Pope of the Obscurity Church.

"There are really no conditions?"

He hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but continue to ask.

"of course not."

The guide in front of him smiled, and then said: "I heard that registration also requires certain conditions. First of all, the god you believe in must be a true god."

"Secondly, it is necessary to abide by the laws within the Kingdom of Hatim and accept special parliamentary supervision."

"Once the corresponding laws and regulations are violated, the parishes and churches owned will be taken back."

"These requirements... don't seem to be too harsh..."

Oris thought for a moment, then nodded.

At least on the surface, the request of the Kingdom of Hatim is not too much.

In this world, some powerful churches are enough to dominate everything. Even some powerful empires dare not underestimate them and need to be treated seriously.

For these powerful churches, any laws and regulations can be directly ignored.

But the immediate situation is different after all.

After all, the Kingdom of Hatim is someone else's territory.

Since he came to someone else's territory and took advantage of others, it is natural to abide by other people's rules.

At least the rules within the kingdom of Hatim are not too excessive.

Thinking of this, Oris couldn't help being a little concerned, and couldn't help but continue to ask.

"The effectiveness of the sacrifice is not required, but if you make meritorious service, you can reasonably expand the parish and obtain more exclusive parishes..."

Sitting in the carriage, Oris thought about it, and then nodded involuntarily.

The missionary law of the Kingdom of Hatim is specially set up for those down-and-out churches, and it is very attractive to those small-scale churches.

If the Lord of Darkness hadn't recovered and was sitting next to him at this moment, I'm afraid Oris would have been unable to bear the temptation before that and ran over to the Kingdom of Hatim.

On the side, the Lord of Darkness was also thoughtful.

Compared with Oris, as a god, he has more knowledge and sees more things.

"By dividing the diocese and handing it over to each church, to a certain extent, one has mastered a means of restricting the church..."

Sitting on the spot, the Lord of Darkness thought deeply: "These churches are scattered all over the place, which can not only prevent cultists, but also maintain the rule of an area and reduce management costs..."

"At the same time, handing over the dioceses to different churches, allowing them to retain basic private land in a fixed area, can also prevent a greater monopoly of beliefs, prevent a certain church from becoming the mainstream, and backfire the entire kingdom... .”

"It's a good way..."

Thinking of this, the Lord of Darkness smiled, and the smile on his face became brighter.

At a glance, he saw clearly the true purpose of this so-called missionary law.

In addition to winning over those down-and-out churches, the biggest function of this missionary law should be to limit the monopoly of belief.

Faith is exclusive.

Under normal circumstances, within an area, several beliefs are mixed, and in the end, under natural conditions, there will always be someone who will stand out and become the mainstream belief in that area, crowding out other beliefs, and eventually grow stronger and become the leader of this area. mainstream beliefs.

This situation is actually dangerous for the regime responsible for ruling the people.

Because a unified belief means that most of the power has been condensed.

The power of the church is unprecedentedly strong, which means that the official authority has become weak, and eventually it will even be turned against the guests, and the royal power will succumb to theocratic power.

But if the diocese is divided artificially and forcibly interfered through official administrative means, the situation will be different.

Within a certain parish, there will be different beliefs ruling.

This is equivalent to a private land for beliefs, ensuring that those beliefs with low competitiveness can continue to survive and will not be squeezed to death.

With this limitation, it is difficult to unify the beliefs within the Kingdom of Hatim.

But the strength is weak, as long as the faith of the entire country is not gathered under one voice, then it will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the official.

It can even conversely incorporate the power of the church and priests into the system, becoming an important force to assist the country's operation.

It can be said to count in one fell swoop.

"This King Hatim is really a good sage..."

All kinds of thoughts in his mind were skipped, and at this moment, the Lord of Darkness became more and more interested in the unknown King Hatim.

From the various means of the other party, it can be seen that the other party is extraordinary, and it is really different from the mediocre rulers around.

Excluding his own formidable strength, the opponent undoubtedly has outstanding management skills.

And this made the Lord of Darkness even more interested in it.

In this world, power determines everything.

But for a god, power is important, and management is equally important.

Excellent management methods can help the people reproduce better, make the country stronger, and breed more beliefs.

The power of the gods will also become stronger and stronger.

Because of this, even in the era when the gods were active, those sages would also be respected by the gods.

In the eyes of the Lord of Darkness today, this King of the Kingdom of Hatim is such a sage.

Thinking of this, he became more and more expectant, and the smile on his face became brighter.

In the front, Oris was still chatting with the guide, word by word, trying to learn more information about the kingdom of Hatim.

Time passed so slowly.

Until half a month later.

The carriage drove slowly, passing the paved road all the way forward, and finally arrived at the core of the Kingdom of Hatim, Khaki City.

Khaki City, this was the original royal city of the Karo Kingdom, and it is also the royal city of the Hatim Kingdom today.

As the royal city of a new kingdom, Khaki actually looks a bit old, and compared to the current situation of King Hatim, it is also a bit inappropriate.

It can only be said that it is barely used.

However, in the near future, the new royal city is already in preparation, but it is still in the beginning stage, and there is no real investment.

At present, Khaki is still the most important city in the entire Khatim Kingdom.

After half a month, the Lord of Darkness finally came to this city.

Bursts of fresh air poured in from the outside world.

Standing where he was, the Lord of Darkness looked at the city ahead.

A change begins to take place.
