How do you make a denomination spread quickly in a short period of time?

The answer is simple!

It is nothing more than deception and coercion.

The former is very easy to understand, it is to make up stories about how powerful the gods of your church are, how many great things you have done, and even sacrifice yourself to save all mankind.

As for the latter......

Naturally, they first tell you how serious the consequences will be if you don't believe in God, and then tell you that if you convert now, you will not only be forgiven of your previous sins, but you will also be able to enjoy a good life in another world after death.

Giving promises to the future, even after death, in exchange for mortal faith is a common feature of almost all religions.

The only difference is that religions that serve the true gods are not materially greedy, while religions of false gods are invariably reduced to instruments of wealth and interference with secular power.

With Grizzly Bear's familiarity with the low-level gangs, the woman quickly co-opted a group of bastards who usually do nothing evil, and then used them to spread the faith.

Of course, this belief is actually similar to collecting protection money.

In the slums where official power cannot radiate, those who are willing to believe in the god of darkness, Rova, and participate in regular rituals, are exempted from most of the protection fees, while those who do not want to be slaughtered.

Sound familiar?

Exactly the same methods used by a religion in the Middle East on the planet during its rapid expansion?

That's right!

For mortals, it doesn't matter what kind of god they believe in, especially if they can't even solve the most basic problem of food and clothing, who cares what the teachings of the gods are.

As long as they can get tangible benefits, it doesn't matter if they are even allowed to sacrifice to demons.

Looking at the poor people who were kneeling on the ground and chanting words in their mouths, the woman couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly, and said in a voice that only she could hear: "I see...... This is faith! It's much simpler than I thought. Although they are far from being pious and unable to understand the true meaning of darkness, they can provide the power to awaken the dark gods from chaos. ”

"I ...... Don't understand. What's the point of that? They're all poor people, and they can't squeeze any oil or water even if they throw them into a pot and squeeze oil. Roman shook his head blankly.

Especially these days, this dangerous and crazy woman in front of her has taken out thousands of gold coins out of her own pocket as activity funds, is there really a so-called dark god?

You must know that although there are all kinds of temples and churches in this land, no one has actually seen God, and even the miracles recorded in the classics are mostly full of coincidences and accidents.

The reason why the upper nobility believed in the gods was to seek peace of mind on the one hand, and on the other hand, they hoped to use these large and small churches to restrain their minds and prevent those serfs and tenants who had been oppressed for a long time from rebelling.

Others don't talk about it for the time being, anyway, Romande, who has done a lot of evil things, definitely doesn't believe that there are really gods in this world, otherwise he should have been hacked to death by lightning a long time ago.

"Hmph, with your brain, not much smarter than a pig, certainly can't comprehend how terrible the power of faith is. Think about it, if more than half of the people at the bottom of the city became members of the church, and then a few officers or nobles joined in, how would the owner of the city react?" the woman asked with a sneer.

"What do you mean...... Corrupt the city little by little from the bottom, and finally achieve the purpose of ingesting rights?"

Although Roman didn't have much education, he was not stupid enough to get home, and immediately understood the subtext of the other party.

"Ingest rights?" the woman smiled disdainfully. "No, I'm not interested in power, I want the right to spread the faith in the right and light, not to be sneaky like now. You know what? When a religion reaches a certain level of cohesion, it bursts out with much more power than you can imagine. At that time, even the king will see us and ask me to put the crown on his head. Faith is something that is above all worldly powers. ”

"Coronation of the King?!" Romande's eyes widened, as if he could not imagine the extreme madness of the picture.

"Yes, one day, I will establish a kingdom of heaven on earth, and all people will kneel before Rois, the god of darkness, even the king. ”

As she said this, the woman's eyes flashed with a scorching flame that could burn everything.

There is no doubt that this ongoing undertaking fills her spiritual emptiness and even has an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

I don't know how long this enthusiasm will last, but at least for now, there is no intention of retreating.

Just as the dark god was silently spreading among the people at the bottom, Krywyn finally got the information from his allies, and sat in his study with his chin in thought.

Born in the countryside, he has the same common problem as most nobles, that is, he looks down on the people living at the bottom of society, and he doesn't care about what they are doing on weekdays, as long as he pays his taxes on time.

I have to say that this kind of rough management gives people too much room to operate.

It's just that so far, the natives of this world have not realized what a terrible chain reaction it will have if it collapses and rebounds at the bottom of their pyramidal power structure.

"So, the prince has taken a fancy to Veria and wants to use this rebellion to force her to surrender her rights and become a doll and puppet for himself to play with?"

He really didn't know whether to scold the other party for being stupid, but he should still laugh at the other party's incompetence.

After all, Vilia is the agent chosen by the "master", and the army of steel puppets and monsters in his hands alone is enough to sweep more than 90% of the countries on this continent.

But now, there are people who are ambitious and want to replace the "master" before they come into contact, and it is a forbidden area that even he dare not touch.

"Yes, sir. If nothing else, the moment this letter reaches you, the rebellion has already begun. Shall we help them?" said one of the henchmen, cautiously and tentatively.

"No! No! It's none of our business. What's more, I don't bother to take part in such a conspiracy that is doomed to failure. With that, Kerrwin picked up a pen and paper, quickly wrote an enthusiastic letter on it, and handed it to his confidant. "Go, give this letter to Vilia, and tell her that we should put aside our prejudices and hatreds and work together, and teach the old fellow who thinks he is still a lion a lesson. ”
