15. The Power of Faith

Seeing that the woman finally came back to her senses, Sean just wanted to say hello, but he heard the female believer suddenly scold: "Old woman! You came down without my permission! Always shouting that the divine power is almost over, why don't I see you die quickly! Every time it makes me shiver and I am so cold! ”

It seemed that after scolding in one breath, the female believer's expression finally looked a little better, so she also turned her head to look at Sean, and said calmly: "My name is Shefanio. Themes, I heard what you and the old woman were saying. …… So, if I'm going to stay here, I'm going to have to take care of something for you? ”

"Yes...... Yes. Sean seemed a little unaccustomed to the face-changing face of the female believer named Shephanian.

"Okay, I see." Shefanio nodded, "If there's anything you need my help with, just ask." …… If I want to heal others, I don't really know much about this, but if I want to kill people, I'm still quite confident in my own strength. ”

Shefanio patted the sword tied to his waist with a proud and confident face: "That old woman can't teach other things well, but some martial arts or something are very good." So you don't have to worry too much about combat effectiveness, I'll definitely be able to satisfy you. ”

Hearing Shefanio's words, Sean rolled his eyes.

The priest with a knife was originally known as a temple combat robot, and his combat power was absolutely second to none, if there was a priest with a knife who said that he was not good at fighting, then Sean would have to wonder how the other party's professional status as a priest with a knife came from. It's just that what Sean wants is not another helper who only knows how to kill and fight, he wants a priest who can perform the magic of amplification.

"Something like a blessing technique, a courage technique, will you?"

"A little." Shefanio nodded, "But that old woman is not really good at this kind of magic technique. And from her god name, you should also know what her godhead is that she specializes in, so what I am best at now is the group ice armor technique and the group ice aura, the two amplification magic techniques, but the old woman said that my bloodline is still too weak, so I can barely maintain about four or five casts each, and if the formation is densely arranged, it should be able to maintain a hundred people. ”

Hearing Sefanio say this, Sean felt the urge to hit the wall.

It's not that Shefanio's magic is too weak, but it's simply too rebellious!

At the beginning of the game, the player's amplification group spell or magic spell could affect ten people, which was very rebellious, and even many NPC group spells could only affect five or six people. But as soon as Shephaño opened his mouth, there were hundreds. If this is put in the game, it can definitely be regarded as a super god-level NPC, and the goddess of ice and snow and winter actually said that Xuefanio's blood is so thin that it almost disappears, and Sean really can't believe what it would be like if the blood was thick.

It's just that the two divine arts, Ice Armor and Ice Aura, except that the former are more valuable. The latter is actually not very practical.

Of course, this kind of insignificance also depends on the situation. After all, the Ice Aura can create an area of ice where the air freezes. The enemy's movement in this area will be hindered to some extent. The embodiment of this in the game is a decrease in ranged damage and a decrease in attack speed, but Sean doesn't know what the situation is in reality, but if it is used well, it is also a means.

And the ice armor technique, as the name suggests, is to put a layer of ice armor on the person being cast. This greatly strengthens physical defense and provides a certain amount of fire damage immunity. For people in hand-to-hand combat, this kind of ice armor is equivalent to a life-saving talisman, so the value is naturally higher than the latter.

It's just that in Sean's impression, this ice armor technique and the ice aura seem to be the magic of the ice god. How did you become the goddess of ice and snow and winter?

However, as soon as this idea came to mind, Sean immediately reacted, if the goddess of ice and snow and winter had not fallen, the godhead would not have been shattered, so what else could there be about the god of ice? But another thing also attracted Sean's extreme attention, because in the current era, the God of Ice is a god with weak divine power, which means that he not only ignited the divine fire and possessed the godhead, but also gathered a group of believers.

Almost as soon as Sean understood this, the system's indifferent electronic voice immediately sounded in his head.

[The territory quest "Follower of the Goddess of Ice and Winter" has been completed, and you will get a chance to draw a lottery.] 】

You have activated a new Territory Quest. 】

Shaun didn't care about the lottery option, but just opened the territory quest panel and started checking for new content displayed on it.

[Mission Name: The Power of Faith]

[Quest content: You have chosen to help the Goddess of Ice and Winter return to the ranks of the gods, but her kingdom is currently on the verge of collapse, and you must help the Goddess of Ice and Winter stabilize her kingdom and restore her divine power within two months.] 】

[Requirements: Collect as much faith as possible.] 】

【Quest Reward: Perfect Reward (Divine Favorite. Shefanio will get a chance to be promoted); General reward (your realm can start cultivating priests who believe in the goddesses of ice and winter). 】

[Failure Punishment: You will lose the protection of the goddess of ice and winter, and receive the curse of the goddess.] 】

This time, the content of the territory mission is much more detailed than the last one, not only the content of the task and the requirements of the mission, but also the direction of the next mission, and even two different mission rewards. Of course, if you can get the perfect reward, it will be an extremely good result, but if you can't get it, Sean doesn't feel much regret, anyway, this general reward is enough for his territory.

In this world, which lord can cultivate a group of priests who can be completely commanded and controlled by himself?

Of course, the priest is only the lowest-level divine art profession, and if you really want to develop a powerful divine officer group, it will still take some time, at least in one or two years, it will probably not be effective. It's just that in the real Miracle Continent, the advancement method of the divine art system is different from the other two types of professions, and in general, as long as the divine grace is sufficient. If the faith is pious enough and the divine power of the belief in the gods is strong enough, then the level of the magic class will increase much faster.

However, the promotion of the strength class and the number of divine arts mastered are two different things, and they cannot be confused.

But at least there is hope.

It's just that although the task requirement is to collect as much faith power as possible, the specific amount is not clear, which makes it a little difficult for Sean. Judging by the experience in the game, each believer can generate roughly one point of faith power per day, and if one devout person can roughly generate the equivalent of five points of faith power. And the wandering believers who do not only believe in the goddess of ice and snow and winter will need about 100 people to be able to generate a little power of faith.

And every 100 points of faith power is probably equivalent to a little divine power.

Now there are about 16,000 people in Sean's territory, including the barbarians of the Northland, and if he can all believe in the goddess of ice and snow and winter, he can generate about 160 points of divine power every day. But this is just some wishful thinking on the part of Sean, in fact, it is impossible for the entire territory to really believe in the goddess of ice and winter. For like the ploughman will definitely believe in the god of agriculture, and the merchant will definitely believe in the god of gold coins. Moreover, like a mercenary group, they will definitely believe in the goddess of victory. And if people like Rena and Alfred have faith, they must also believe in the god of battle, which cannot be reversed.

After all, although the goddess of ice and snow and winter covers a wide range of priesthoods, who still remembers this ancient god now? Judging the priesthood by the name of the god alone is definitely not a good thing, at least the cultivators will certainly not believe in such a god. Isn't it that you can't get along with your own planting?

So on the whole, the gathering of the power of faith is not an easy task.

"Do you have any teachings about the goddess of ice and winter?" Sean asked.

But as soon as he said that, he felt that his problem was really a bit idiotic.

Sure enough, Shephaño rolled her eyes. Looking at Sean like an idiot: "Of course there is." If there is no doctrine, how can I recruit believers? ”

"Then you can stay here for a few days for the time being, and try to attract as many believers as possible during this time, the priest will really be difficult to find for a while, you might as well spend some money to hire a few articulate people, and let them help you preach the teachings of the goddess of ice and snow and winter." Sean didn't mind Shefanio's contempt, anyway, he was already despised by William, "I'm going to go back to White Dove Town first, and build you a temple of the goddess of ice and snow and winter over there, and then you will definitely have to go over there and take charge of the relevant matters personally, so you can only be represented by someone else for the time being." …… When the matter is a little settled in White Dove Town, I'll take you there. It's hard to say anything else, it's no problem to get 5,000 believers out for you first. ”

"Five thousand!" Shephaño let out a cry of surprise, her big eyes wide open with a look of surprise.

"Yes, six thousand." Sean nodded, "These people have all lived in the Northern Regions, where the cold climate is somewhat in line with the god name of the goddess of ice and snow and winter, and the most important thing is that this group of people does not have any faith, so when the time comes, you can harvest a group of believers." As long as they recognize and believe in this goddess, then the power of faith will start to flow continuously, but I can't guarantee that they are all devout believers, so it is up to you to do the specific operation at that time. ”

"Let's go now!" Shefanio looked impatient.

"What is the past now? I'm definitely going to need to help you build momentum first. Sean pouted, "And I've been on the road for so many days, and I'm tired, so I need to rest here for the night." Anyway, in the next few days, you should preach the doctrine as much as possible and develop some believers. …… By the way, find a few articulate people who will be responsible for continuing to fool the believers after you leave here in the future. ”

"Hey, it's a good thing to have faith, it represents spiritual belonging, how can it be said to be a fool."

Sean didn't bother to refute this protest against Shephanian, anyway, in his opinion, looking for believers is not a fool? However, Sean didn't feel any guilt about his plan to push the entire Northland barbarian tribe into the fire pit, and the simple guys believed that they would be happy to have a "spiritual home". (To be continued.) )
