Chapter 352: spoiler
This world church is very different from the one on earth.
Because God does exist, only those who know and agree with the doctrine can become priests, which makes the ranks of priests relatively pure, not as filthy and inconsistent as on earth. The priests of the **** of justice must maintain justice, the priests of the **** of courage must be brave and fearless, the priests of the **** of life must love life, and the priests of the **** of death must respect death... …Without exception.
However, the gods of this world do not have personalities. They are not so much gods as they are the "rules" of this world. They are not and cannot be mandatory, and their attitude towards faith and even priests (if there is an "attitude" at all) is also very mild and "good to get together" - suppose a priest of death, he Because some things have been impacted, and he has turned to love life, then he can completely change his career and become a priest of the God of Life. Except for the need to purify his own strength, the God of Death will not hinder him in any way.
This situation has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it avoids the meaningless loss of talents due to beliefs. The disadvantage is that each church has no fundamental coercion. A mutual aid organization of people.
Such an organization is naturally very pure and clean, but there is no strong commanding force. For example, when Panda slaughtered demon beasts in Wolf's Nest Lake before, he met and communicated with the archbishop of the Church of the Suffering God in Mulandana, but they had no intention of issuing orders to him at all, and even "Where did he come from, Where are you going?" He didn't bother to ask.
Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Over time, some relatively large churches have slowly developed, and gradually formed a stable organizational system by means of talent training and industrial management. Compared with churches that do not have very stable organizations, such churches have higher coercive power and more tightly organized organizations.
The Church of the God of Death, the Church of the God of Life, the Church of the God of Courage, the Church of the God of Wealth... There are actually quite a few churches that have reached this level.
The Church of God of Luck has not been able to reach this level. The influence of this church is not large enough. Since then, the scale of the Church of God of Luck has not been able to develop very large.
But this situation has undergone tremendous changes in Giacomo's era. The strong man is keen to spread his ideas. After uniting the strong men in the South China Sea to besiege the Pirate King Barbarossa, he began to build schools everywhere. To spread the teachings of the God of Luck to people by means of dissemination of education.
It was a long job that took decades, but it paid off handsomely in the end. In the final version of "Dragon of Doom", Giacomo's decades of hard work finally came to fruition, and the Church of God of Luck was greatly strengthened, completing the transformation from an ordinary church to a powerful church, and he himself became lucky because of this. The first pope of the Church of God.
As Panda and Giacomo walked and chatted, the future pope became more and more extraordinary. When he talks, he always takes a little test, constantly testing the panda's knowledge and ability, but it is not offensive at all, but it makes people feel just right intimacy - the so-called "like a spring breeze", which is probably the case. .
It's no wonder that such a person can achieve great things!
When the two came to the tavern, they saw that it was lively but not noisy, drinking, eating, singing and dancing, and even gambling in the casino on the second floor... Everything seemed orderly, messy but not chaotic.
"This tavern is now almost the base of our church in Flying Fish Harbor." Giacomo said, "There is our altar in the back, but because the church is small, it has not developed to the point of building a shrine."
"With you as a priest, I believe that there will be a temple soon." Panda said.
He is not touting. Giacomo spent most of his youth walking in the Southern Islands. He built temples of the Church of the God of Luck in each port, and each time he built one, he would go to the next place.
This job will not change until he steps into the legendary realm in the future and participates in the Battle of the Fall of the Pirate King.
Giacomo shook his head: "I always wanted to build more temples before, but now I think maybe I should consider changing my approach."
The panda was stunned for a moment, looking at him suspiciously.
"Some time ago, I met a few very interesting adventurers. Although they always pestered me and asked me if I had any 'quests' to do, they also said a lot of things that touched me." Giaco Mo said, "They say that the best people to preach are children, and the best way is to educate. I thought about it for a while, and I think it makes sense. The reason why our church's philosophy is not accepted by people is not because we The concept is wrong, but many people have preconceived views and are unwilling to accept our concept."
"Children are different. Children's thoughts are a blank sheet of paper. As long as the blank sheet of paper has not yet been painted, we instill in them the philosophy of our church in advance, even if many of them will change in the future. Thought, but still maintaining our philosophy will certainly not be less... Although this approach takes a lot of time, the effect is very stable, it is worth considering."
Panda frowned slightly and asked, "Those adventurers... what kind of people are they?"
"It's hard for me to describe," Giacomo said. "They're a little poor, but they don't have the down-and-out feeling of a poor adventurer. They're obviously well-educated, everyone can read and write, and they can fight in battle. , but showed disturbing bravery, as if they did not care about life and death at all. This is very unreasonable, with their strength, they should not be so poor, and they should not care about their own lives."
The corners of the panda's mouth were slightly raised, and he already understood what was going on.
Those adventurers who contacted Giacomo before him and introduced Giacomo to the methods that the Pope would use in the future are obviously traversers just like himself.
Just don't know who they are? I don't know what benefits they get by doing this.
"What happened to them after that?" Panda asked.
"They said they were going to talk to the south and communicate with the mermaids. They also said that one mountain can't hold two tigers. Sooner or later, the mermaid queen and the pirate king would turn their backs on each other. They wanted to watch the fun and left."
"Oh? This is lively, are you interested?"
"No, the battle between legendary powerhouses is still too dangerous for me." Giacomo shook his head, "However, if one day, I also become a legendary powerhouse, I will definitely help the Mermaid Queen and fight against The cruel pirate king, maintain the tranquility of the sea!"
"That's what they said too?" Panda asked.
Giacomo shrugged: "They said I would definitely become a legend... I don't know why they have so much confidence in me."
Panda couldn't help laughing - his companions were really spoiled by spoilers!
