The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 213 Divine Power Believer
Ai Niuwen rode comfortably on the horseback, and led the knights under him to walk slowly.Looking up at the clear moonlight, it was really a good night. The pastor reached out and touched the things in his pocket, and couldn't help but praise the gods beyond the sky. The chant-style hymns had a strange charm , and the companions around him also echoed and chanted.

"Master Ainuwen, where are we going next? Back to the monastery?"

"Back to the monastery? Of course not! Let's go to the 'Golden Horn' and find those so-called 'giants'. Although I don't know who those guys who left from Old Dick's house are, but since we can get precious gems as compensation Dick, I can be sure that they must have a lot of treasure on them, and maybe they have discovered some ancient treasure." The pastor shook his head and said with great interest. They" must be a group of foolish people who are easy to deal with.

Another priest with a higher status behind him asked a little uneasy: "My lord, do you need to do something?"

Pastor Ainuwen's loyal face flashed a trace of suspicion, and said: "No! It's not necessary for the time being. Dealing with those outsiders is different from managing the local gangsters, unless they make mistakes themselves, let's catch them." Said At this point, Ai Niuwen's words stopped.

"Didn't they destroy old Dick's farmhouse? Can't we use that on these strangers?"

"No! Although they damaged the farmer's house, they have already compensated Dick's family with things. This can no longer be regarded as a 'fault'. Just like I took away the gems that belonged to old Dick before, but it was not free .We will send someone to treat his family members for free, and exempt the one-year donation. Although it seems that the value of gems is very different, it is still a well-founded result." The pastor shamelessly used the example of defrauding the farmer just now as an example, and taught his subordinates brazenly, "Remember! As a servant of God, you don't have to seek fairness in dealing with things, but you must be 'just'. It is a natural moat that even the gods cannot cross."

"When you can truly understand the meaning of the word 'justice', you will be able to actively feel the existence of the oracle and draw your own power from it."

"Lord Ainuwen?! Are you saying that you have already touched the legendary power?" The people behind Pastor Ainuwen couldn't help showing surprise.

Here is an anecdote that has to be revealed. As one of the oldest gods in the world of Toril, the goddess Chauntia has grown from a wild god in charge of wilderness areas and animals to now second only to the gods. God Io's top-level powerful divine power - Mother Earth, her divinity has accepted many foreign gods, and correspondingly, her priesthood has also undergone many changes.

Over the long years, the believers in Chauntia inevitably split. Some civilized priests taught or led farmers and other people who depended on agriculture and animal husbandry in cities, towns, and villages to "seek and reap." "As a means, these people are called [Shepherds].Another older sect focuses on protecting the wilderness, and turns into animals to run with the beasts. These wanderers in the wilderness proudly call themselves "True Shapers".

Although [Shepherd] and [True Form] belong to the same god, they have clear barriers between each other like enemies. [True Shapers] think that [Shepherd]'s teaching of these farming is a real affront to nature - because it will allow more people to gather in areas that can provide a stable source of food, thereby accelerating population growth and affecting the population Natural speed of destruction.Many radical [True Shapers] will even intentionally guide wild beasts to wantonly trample and destroy fields and farms full of crops, in order to attack the local agricultural development. Some of the members of the Lords actually turned their backs on the glory of Chauntea and threw themselves into the embrace of the god of nature, Sivanus.

As one of the most fertile lands in the Northland and even in the whole of Faerun, if the Golden Fields are truly developed, even if the population of the entire Sword Coast region increases tenfold or even a hundredfold, the food it produces will
Food supply is also more than sufficient.Therefore, this piece of land, which is said to be blessed by the Mother Earth, has become the focus of the two major sects of [Shepherd] and [True Shape].

As the agent of the [Shepherd] side, Toga Ainuwen gained a dominant position in the wilderness with the backing of Waterdeep City, but the members of the [True Shapers] were always lingering and peeking at the outskirts of the wilderness, and In terms of personal strength, the [Shepherd] is after all slightly inferior to the [True Shapers] who have lived in the wilderness all year round. If the members of the [Shepherd] have an advantage in number, and if there are no powerful allies to rely on, the golden How could this piece of "fat" in the wilderness fall into their hands.

What is a legendary power?The power of the legendary level is the proof of the strong, and it involves the advanced extension of divine power - the application of the domain of the gods.Whether it is divine magic, arcane magic, or other unnatural powers, the use of them will consume the user's spiritual power, soul power or life force, which will lead to the gradual decline of the user.And only the strong man who has touched the God's Domain chooses a certain God's Domain as his own power, so that when he borrows divine power or arcane methods, not only will he not decline, but he will be affected by the power of the God's Domain. Until the soul gradually transcends the mortal body and becomes a saint similar to the incarnation of God.And if the saint can further ignite the sacred fire and obtain the corresponding priesthood (but this is impossible, unless a god voluntarily gives up the corresponding priesthood and transfers it to him), he is a so-called demigod.

Such as arcane convert, archmage, power fighter, power believer, power seeker, Haslan witch, high priest, etc. are all different names for various legendary powerhouses (Paladin can also be regarded as one of them, However, the starting point of a paladin is relatively low, if not for certain restrictions, almost every paladin has the potential to become a powerful person).

Torga Ainuwen has become a new follower of divine power, which indicates that the influence of Pastor Ainuwen and the [Priest] he represents in this area will be greatly improved.You must know that a believer in divine power represents a bridge between the gods he believes in and the believers. He will be responsible for interpreting the oracles of the gods, acting as a mentor and guide among many believers, and has the power to call all Believers resist external insults (regardless of whether these believers are [Shepherds] or [True Shapers]).

These priests and warriors from the monastery were pleasantly surprised when Pastor Ainuwen stepped into the domain of the strong, when the sound of horseshoes came from the distant night, and several lanterns that were flickering quickly approached here.

"Master Ainuwen! Something happened to the 'Golden Horn'!"
