Chapter 621: "Persuasion"
"Madness, madness!!, a mere viscount, who gave him the guts to dare to take Winter City, and still want to establish a country!!?
In the temple of the Guardian God, an old priest roared angrily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh, madness, boldness, the reason why I think this seat is bold is because this seat has not given you any benefits, right?" a cold voice came.
"Who?!!" The old priest's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice had come.
I saw a man appear in the void, walked slowly, and said as he walked: "In the past, anyone who coup-d'Γ©tat and seized power was to win over the temple, and no matter how the status of the nobles changed, they would not easily intrude on the temple, which was almost an iron rule. Moreover, after the seizure, you will also appease the temples in various places, send people to send various gifts, and promise not to infringe on the inherent power of the temples to interfere with them, so you will acquiesce and support.
"And this coup d'Γ©tat in Winterfell, even the priests in your temple have been put together, so they feel that their majesty has been provoked, and they are very unhappy, so they are crazy and bold, right?"
When the words fell, the old priest's eyes widened: "You, you, who are you? Guard, Guard!!"
He shouted loudly, and at the same time, a strange light emerged from the priest, and he began to chant incantations, and huge pillars of light fell from the sky and enveloped him, summoning divine magic.
Zhanfei's incarnation bloomed with a strong light, and in an instant, the entire temple shook, and circles of strange energy fluctuations spread in all directions, not cutting off the connection between the priest and the god, because it was a provocation to the god, but it shocked his mind, making it impossible to concentrate his spirit, and the divine summoning failed.
Several armor-clad temple guards rushed out from nearby, but they were swept out by the strong power fluctuations released by Zhanfei, unable to approach.
"You, you, you, you, you......" The old priest gasped in shock: "Legendary powerhouse?"
"This seat is the 'bold' and 'mad' Aruphons in your mouth, the legendary bloodliner, warlock, mage and bloodline warrior, and now the lord of Winter City. Zhanfei incarnate.
The old priest took a step back.
Zhan Fei said: "For your temple, this seat does not have any gifts, but it can be guaranteed that you still have the right to spread faith in this city, on the condition that you recognize the right to rule this seat to the outside world. β
"Impossible!!" the old priest shook his head in shock.
Often, all kinds of coups, whether they succeed or not, the temples everywhere just keep silent, do not support or oppose, seem to acquiesce or not, at least until the situation is completely calmed down, and will not speak out in favor of one side or another, which is the custom. Moreover, in this process, many temples will also be wooed by nobles from all sides, not necessarily asking for support, at least requiring the people in the temple not to oppose it.
It's just that Zhanfei doesn't pay attention to this so-called default convention at all.
He said coldly: "Two choices, one is to get out of the city that you rule, and this city completely prohibits your temple from spreading faith. β
"How dare you!!" the old priest was furious.
Zhanfei ignored it: "The second is that you recognize and support this seat to rule the city, this city allows you to spread your faith, and this city does not need any forces against me ruling this city." Opponents, get out of this land!!"
"Do you know, Aruphons, who you have offended by doing this?!! old priest asked angrily.
Zhan Fei said: "Either recognize and support my rule and continue to spread the faith, or you can get out of this city, this is the territory of this seat." Could it be that you still want the incarnation of the dignified gods to come down and help you conquer the city?"
"You!!" the old priest's eyes widened.
Zhan Fei said: "As a priest, as a priest, you have to spread the glory of your Lord and spread his faith, and everything else is secondary. You can bet on whether or not this seat will have the courage to drive you away from the city. In addition, I believe that after you leave, there will be people who will be willing to contact the lord of the castle and gain the right to spread the faith in the city on the condition of supporting the lord.
"Let's say...... Some beings hostile to the temple of your guardian gods?God of Killing?God of Shadows?
"Even ...... Maybe it's another priest or priest in the temple of your guardian god, someone who wants to take your place?"
The old priest's expression changed dramatically, and he staggered back a few steps.
Zhanfei's words make a lot of sense, there is not only one god in the whole world, the guardian god can't cover the sky with one hand, even if the priest of the temple is driven out of the city, what if there are other gods here, there will be other gods to help involve the guardian god, so that he does not dare to vent his anger on the city.
If the old priest resolutely opposes Zhanfei and is unwilling to recognize Zhanfei's rule over the city, and as a result, the belief in the guardian god in the city is greatly reduced, and the belief in the hostile god is replaced, then the old priest will not be able to escape the blame for his death, and after death, he will not think about any soul flying to heaven, and go directly to hell.
Faith is the source of wealth for the gods of this world, the source of life for the gods, and losing faith is like making the gods lose the source of life. Just as the butlers and vassals under the command of the nobles caused the nobles to lose their land and wealth, it was as hateful.
There are many priests of this guardian god, and if the old priest loses his family, other priests will be happy to pat himself and return the faith to the city, which is to make a great contribution and can replace the old priest's position, this kind of thing, many people are willing to do.
"How, has there been a decision?" Zhanfei asked with a smile.
The old priest's mind turned, and he hesitated for a long time.
But Zhanfei knew that no matter how much the old priest hesitated, the result was already determined, and the other party had no other way but to give in.
The old priest hesitated, not so much because he hesitated whether to agree to Zhanfei's conditions, but because he was hesitating about what method he would use to "go down the steps" and agree to Zhanfei's conditions without losing face.
"Have you thought it through? If you haven't thought it through, then ...... I'll go and meet the priests of the other churches first. β
Other churches?
What "other" churches?
The old priest's face changed slightly.
I didn't expect Zhanfei to add a step.
So, he had to bite the bullet and be cheeky, and sighed: "Your Excellency Aruphons, you are exactly the ruler that Winter City needs. β
The reply was a bit tactful, but Zhan Fei didn't care, as long as the old priest agreed, he couldn't tear his face and turn his face to Zhan Fei afterwards, otherwise, the old priest's trouble would not be small, and that was enough.
Then the seat took his leave. Three days later, the opening ceremony, I hope you will not forget to participate. β
Zhanfei's figure was about to retreat, but the altar of the old priest god queen, with the statue of the god of guardianship, had a beam of light falling from the sky, and the statue exuded a mysterious and powerful light, a vast and majestic divine power, emitting in all directions.
Although there was no sound coming, Zhan Fei could feel it, and there was a will and an idea in the "divine power", which seemed to be telling Zhan Fei to stay.
Zhanfei stopped, staring back at the idol, studying the so-called "divine power".
I sighed in my heart: "The magic is not as good as the Mindcontrol Pimi Robot, and the use is far inferior to the Mindcontrol Pimi Robot, but the quality of the energy and the size of the volume are far better than the Mindcontrol Pimi Robot." The diameter of the particles of this energy has reached the level of the femtometer. Although this power is not a true divine power, and it does not have the characteristics of being pervasive or ubiquitous, it is much more advanced than the power of many demi-saints.
"Even though I am already a Mixed Yuan Saint, this god is still only at the level of a half-saint, but in terms of the meticulousness of this energy, it is even more powerful than me. β
This is an inch long, a ruler is short, not a "god" who is not as good as here. It's like a male martial artist in the realm of legends, and an ordinary woman, to see who can have children more, this is incomparable.
"Your Excellency Aruphons?" a cold voice came.
A translucent figure glowing with golden light appeared on the idol, staring at Zhanfei.
Zhanfei was calm and calm, and nodded slightly at the other party: "I have seen His Majesty the Guardian God." β
A huge coercion continued to envelop him, but Zhanfei was unmoved. Although he was only incarnated here, he was only under the coercion of a half-saint, how could he, a hybrid saint, take it to heart? If it weren't for the fact that now was not the time to reveal his identity and full strength, I'm afraid ...... A single finger can crush this false god to death.
"You, very good, very good...... In the future pantheon, I am afraid that there will be a throne and a place for you. "The god incarnated.
Zhanfei smiled faintly.
Isn't the so-called god of this world great? Not the god of the outside world?
But he didn't care, but the old priest was stunned.
"Is it possible for this Aruphons to become a god?" This assessment is enough to shock any mortal.
"This god acknowledges your reign in Winterfell. "The Guardian Shinto.
This acknowledgment, which is completely different from the acknowledgment of the priests, implies a certain degree of support. For example, if other gods dare to intervene in the attack on Winter City, this guardian god will take action. However, if it is not the intervention of other gods, nor the intervention of other gods and churches, but the action of other nobles, then of course this guardian god will not pay attention. Moreover, until Winter City is extremely dangerous, it is impossible for this guardian god to make a move.
However, Zhanfei just wants this kind of declaration from the other party, nominally admitted, and that's it.
After expressing his gratitude, Zhanfei said that he allowed the other party to preach here, but he did not mention that he supported the other party's mission, so he left.
Then, one by one, Zhanfei went in and "visited" each of the temples, and when he came out again, he had satisfactory results.
"It's a pity...... I can't drive all these temples out of my territory now, otherwise I will attract a group of Church of Gods to attack. If I don't hurt them, they will continue to gain inches, and if I hurt them, I will attract the incarnations of the gods behind them, and if I fight, I will definitely expose my secrets - it is impossible to deal with a large group of god incarnations with ordinary spells and not use special powers.
"And...... Now it's not even possible to preach openly. β
In every world, as long as there is intelligent life, there is a monopoly.
Monopoly of wealth, monopoly of all kinds of rights.
The belief here is monopolized by the gods. Not a true deity, not allowed to spread the faith.
However, if no one believes, they can't ignite the fire of the gods and seal the gods.
This is clearly a deliberate suppression, not giving the new gods a chance to become gods.
Others want to become gods, either to inherit the throne of the gods who have fallen before, or to get the approval of some gods, so that they can spread their faith under the protection of the gods, and then become gods. Otherwise, they will all be identified as "false gods", and everyone will be punished.
Although, in Zhanfei's eyes, the so-called gods in this world are also pseudo-gods, but these so-called gods think they are real "gods", and they will regard other lower-level guys as pseudo-gods.
For example, there are some small citizens in towns and towns in the countryside and small county towns, but they feel superior to others and regard the people in the nearby villages as townsmen, but they don't know that in the eyes of some people in other big places, the small citizens here are also the same as those in the countryside.
In the same way, people in big places and big cities don't know that in the eyes of people in some big countries abroad, they and those in small counties and towns will be "barbarian people" in "barbarian lands" and very backward. In the eyes of the people on the alien planet, the people on this planet are all "indigenous", township~ba~lao. In the eyes of the broader star field, the so-called aliens here are only the human race in backward places.
This kind of thing happens everywhere to despise others and oppress the object of one's contempt.
"First spread the faith secretly, and only seize the rights of the mortal world on the surface, and wait until I expand my territory to a certain extent...... Hey. β
Time passes...... Three days later.
Zhanfei announced that the Cold Winter Kingdom was established, and he was the first king, with Aruphons as his surname, and his new name was Wyvern, Wyvern Aruphons. As for the pronunciation problem and the way the naming is not in line with the mainstream of this world, this kind of thing can be ignored. I don't mind if others say that his name is earthy when I hear it, he has no aristocratic background, etc., and he doesn't care about these things anyway.
On the same day, the founding of the country, the great ceremony, the ghosts, snakes and gods of all parties secretly tried to destroy, but no matter how many "rats" came, they were all killed by Zhanfei.
Surprisingly, on that day, there were lichs riding bone dragons and bringing a large group of undead creatures to attack this Winter City, and a large number of sea tribes along the coast also rushed up to attack Winter City.
Zhan Fei was secretly surprised, he really couldn't think of what kind of enemy he was, and he could actually contact these two strong enemies to kill them together at the same time.
However, it doesn't matter, in this world, no matter how strange things happen, it's normal. The demons in the abyss are thinking about invading the main material plane, and the demons in hell and some evil gods in the heavens are constantly thinking about how to launch conspiracies and coups in the human world, and their purposes are not pure.
Zhanfei has strength, so he doesn't consider the enemy's purpose and true identity at all, as long as he comes to the enemy, just kill him directly.
Two self-created "legendary spells", a "Burning Sky Cloud", the fire cloud in the void burns, raining down blazing light, only targeting undead creatures, only a very slight damage to the living, one move to destroy a large group of undead, two dragonmen fly out to kill the lich in seconds.
A "overflow of water into flames", the release of magic will detect the water in the body of the living body, beyond a certain proportion, the excess water will decompose, part into corrosive hydrogen peroxide, part into ozone, part into hydrogen, and then explode.
This kind of spell is not something that people in this world can create at all, and it requires too much calculation, but for Zhanfei, it is nothing at all. Even, even if it's not a spell, as long as it is disguised as a spell, it's fine.
With one move, the people in the city were unharmed, and tens of thousands of sea tribes were extinct.
Since then, the country has been in the cold winter.
The Founding Lord, His Excellency Aruphons the Wyvern, strongly condemned the invasion of the Sea Clan, and ordered the leaders of the Sea Clan in the coastal waters to come and apologize, or else they would destroy the Sea Clan at any cost.
At the same time, it strongly condemned the act of colluding with the Lich, and stated that the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes had been identified, and it was decided that, in the near future, the "locked target" will be investigated. (To be continued.) )
