Goddess Wanhua Mirror

The other party was very annoyed at first, thinking that such a small sect that he had never heard of, dared to stab the guardian knight under their Heavenly Mad God of War, and immediately stepped forward to give him this ignorant bastard. The old man taught him a lesson, but he bumped into the magic barrier just after taking two steps.

Several master knights who came to make trouble saw that the old man was not moving, and immediately cast magic spells. He immediately realized that he might have encountered a hard problem, so he left with a few harsh words.

Lude is not worried that these people will retaliate against him. Since the world experienced the battle of the gods that almost led to the destruction of civilization 300 years ago, the surviving sects have reached some kind of peace agreement, unless it is If someone really slapped him in the face, or confirmed that the other party is a cult that violates human ethics, otherwise he wouldn't go to war just because of this little friction.

After the Knights of War Madness left, Pine Tree Village soon returned to its former peace and tranquility, but after experiencing the bandit night, Lude had already established absolute prestige in the village, and more than 400 people in the village also entered the village collectively. Teach and become a faithful believer in the God of Medicine.

……end……

On the top of a distant snow-capped mountain, a huge golden gate slowly opened by itself, and surging divine power gushed out from the gate, forming an invisible giant eye, spying on the far north.

And inside the gate, a powerful existence was muttering to himself.

"Oops! A strange feeling... Could it be a new god? Or a clone created by some old guy? Really, it's only been 300 years, and each of them is dishonest again... Forget it! Look! Lively is the most interesting, don't let me down too much!"

End of this chapter

Time flies, and before you know it, it has been almost two weeks since the bandits left. The villagers have repaired the damaged houses, filled in a pit, and their lives have returned to their former peace and harmony.

There are some changes, because of the miracle of that night, the whole village of Pine Tree Village has now converted to the God of Medicine sect, and the position of the priest Lude in the village is now completely higher than that of the village head Rom. from!

However, Luther did not rush to ask believers to collect donations like many new sects that have just made a fortune, or even directly collect religious taxes. There are many good things that benefit the people.

Relying on his almost unanimous authority in the village, Lu De first formulated two "canonical rules" for the villagers that they could accept.

The first is to determine every Thursday and Sunday as prayer days, and the villagers will pray in the temple after the sun goes down on this day.

The world itself has the concept of dates, with unified rules for years, months, days, and seven days a week, but many remote and backward areas like Pine Tree Village have not formed a sense of this aspect, so Lu De asked a carpenter to make a calendar The sign was inserted in the center of the village to remind the villagers, and also established the concept of time in their hearts.

The second canon stipulates that believers get up every day and must face the rising sun to do a set of godly "blessing dance", which is the eighth set of radio gymnastics. The goddess will bestow on those believers who persevere with a healthier body!

In addition to these two canons, Lude also took care of two other things. One was to mobilize the villagers to build a public bathhouse in the village, which was opened every Wednesday and Saturday. It is Lu De who hopes that the villagers can take a bath frequently and maintain personal hygiene.

Pine Tree Village is located at the confluence of two big rivers, so there is no shortage of water at all, and it is next to the Void Forest to the north.Although there are many terrifying monsters living in the depths of the forest, the outer areas are relatively safe, so the source of firewood is not a problem at all.

Lu De knew very well that given the local climate and conditions, it was definitely unrealistic for the villagers to take a bath every day, but it was definitely better than once a year or even a few years if they could maintain a bath once a week or two.

Lude believes that as long as the villagers take a shower and do exercises every day, their physical condition will definitely be significantly improved, and this kind of benefit that can be experienced personally will make believers think that they are blessed by the goddess, and then inspire Thanksgiving heart of faith.

Another thing Lude did was to set up a school in the village, or a rural literacy class!

As a traveler from the earth in the 21st century, Lude is well aware of the importance of basic education, and he not only has the scientific knowledge from the earth, but also inherited the ability to read and write the native characters of the world from the young Lude.

Therefore, after being able to speak in the village, Lu De suggested that he should teach the children in the village how to read and write. The classroom would just use his temple, with classes five days a week and weekends off on Saturdays and Sundays.And not only underage children, if adults want to learn, they can also come to attend classes.

At first, Lu De thought that this proposal would be resisted by the villagers. After all, most of the villagers are poor farmers, and the children in the family will become laborers at a very young age, and they will work in the fields with the adults.Lude now requires them to send their children to study here, which will naturally cause a decline in labor force.

But unexpectedly, the villagers responded very positively, and sincerely thanked the priest for his willingness to teach their children to read and write.Although these old farmers have never heard of the phrase "knowledge changes destiny", they know very well that being able to read and write is a very sought-after skill for making a living!

You must know that in this wild world that can be called the magical Middle Ages, the illiteracy rate is unimaginably high. Not only are the vast majority of civilians illiterate, but even some nobles are uneducated and rude, relying on extraordinary force and financial resources to maintain themselves dominance.

Therefore, literate "literate people" are very precious, and the people at the bottom will have a kind of beautifying illusion about the education that is difficult for them to get access to. They think that if they can read, they might be able to go to the city and be a treasurer for the nobles. Horses can be regarded as an effective way to improve the class.

So on the first day of class in Lude, all the children in the village came!Some mischievous guys were even tied up by his own father with a rope, which made Lude think he was trying to sell a child.

Because he was busy and fulfilled, in Lude's view, time passed really quickly, two weeks really passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather was getting colder and colder. There was a white layer of frost, and the mouth and nostrils were like chimneys, whistling white steam.

In the past two weeks, although Lu De told the villagers on the surface that the goddess gave him a second chance to accept the trial, he would not be able to practice magic unless it was absolutely necessary.But in fact, he has secretly conducted more than a dozen experiments related to divine arts in private, consuming a lot of his hard-earned beliefs, which made Aina have a lot of opinions on him.

In fact, since the last time he successfully used the magic spell, Lu De's progress in creating gods has surpassed that of the old astrologer back then, so the content in the notes can no longer help him, and he has to explore the next road by himself.

And just like a soldier must be proficient in the disassembly and maintenance of firearms, Lude must also understand the use and principle of divine magic, so that he can better play its role and do things with twice the result with half the effort.

After many experiments and attempts, Lude discovered that the magic that uses the power of faith as the energy source is indeed a very magical power, which can easily be beyond the reach of ordinary people. It does not abide by the law of energy conservation, and the angry Newton died in the incinerator. Jump left and right, but even if it is so powerful, it is not omnipotent.

Lude had tried to use divine magic to create creatures in the void, or turn raw materials into industrial products that could not be manufactured with the current technological conditions in this world as in some comics, but they all ended in failure.

Lu De, who wanted to build an AK47 for self-defense, held back for a long time, but the fart almost collapsed, but the gun couldn't survive!

This may be because Aina's divine power is not enough, or the upper limit of divine spells is over. In short, further tests must be carried out, and more power of faith will be consumed for this.Aina is like an orange cat whose food bowl was robbed, she is so angry that she is about to explode!

End of this chapter

To what extent can a shit-shoveling officer keep grabbing food from his cat owner's mouth to piss off Daju?Lu De looked at the crooked words "Master's big villain" in Aina's homework book, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"It seems that the homework is still not enough!"

Randomly circled a big duck egg on the homework, while thinking about whether to add more green peppers or carrots to dinner today, Lu De worried about the development of the sect.

At present, Lude's God of Medicine religion seems to be stable, thanks to the fact that all the villagers in Songshu Village have joined the religion, and because the believers hold regular religious activities, they will produce beliefs as steadily as sunflowers, so they have food and clothing for one person and one god. It is indeed not a problem, but it is difficult to go further.

After all, the entire Songshu Village is only this big, with a total of more than 400 villagers. If you want to expand the number of believers, you have to find a way to absorb refugees, or go out and compete with other sects.

And this is exactly what Lude is worried about. After all, Aina is a new god who was born only two months ago. Lude knows better than anyone how weak her power is.If there is a conflict with those big sects that have developed for hundreds of thousands of years, they can be said to be defeated.

However, Lu De also knew that he could not win a direct confrontation, but he still had a convenient path to "surround the city from the countryside".

Like secular regimes, the main dioceses of most powerful traditional sects are centered on large and medium-sized cities, because the population is denser and the economy is more developed, so both faith and donations are relatively rich.

In contrast, although these established sects did not completely abandon the rural areas, they would send some missionaries to spread the gospel from time to time, but the focus of their work has long since shifted away from this side.

Lude is not worried that the gods of those sects will find him. In fact, if they are as ubiquitous and omniscient as they boasted, the old astrologer cannot wait until there are two or five informants from his underground sect. Even if he was discovered, he would not flee for more than a year, and now he has firmly established himself in the northern border of the kingdom.Maybe a thunderbolt struck him earlier and turned him into a pile of coke on the spot.

In essence, these gods are just alternative authoritative rulers, forming a community of interests with the religious people under them. As long as these eagle dogs can help him manage the "flock" and ensure the stability of the source of belief, nothing will go wrong. Whether those priests and bishops strictly abide by the doctrine and laws, their gods may not care at all!

Compared with these senior gods, Lude, who always has good thoughts and ideals in his heart, is more like a truly devout saint.

Throughout the history of Lude's plane, this world once experienced a terrible battle of the gods 300 years ago, hundreds of gods fell, and nearly two-thirds of the world's high-level intelligent creatures were exterminated in the war. Races and nations have even been wiped out in the long river of history.

The next 300 years were called the "New Age of Gods" by mortals.

The surviving gods made some sort of peace treaty and hid from each other to recuperate.And because of the mass extinction of mortals, the source of belief has dropped sharply, and these gods have become more and more stingy, like misers who are reluctant to share their precious divine power, and rarely show their faces in the world, revealing miracles for believers pay homage.

Some gods have not even bubbled up for nearly a hundred years, and the believers have begun to feel confused. Do their own gods exist or not?

In Lude's view, these gods actually all chose the wrong way to recuperate and live. They only thought about how to reduce expenses and save money, but never thought about open source, or the way open source was too old-fashioned and did not keep pace with the times.

For example, if you don't show your face for a long time and don't perform miracles, this can indeed save some hard-won spiritual power of faith, but it will also cause their "heat" in the mortal world, which will shake the belief of believers and make them output also declined.

Lude still remembers the night when the bandits attacked, he and Aina cooperated in the "Goddess Arrival" drama. The villagers witnessed the miracle, not only converted to the sect, but also in the next few days. , The high-intensity crazy output belief lasted for more than a whole week.

Because the villagers saw it with their own eyes and were saved, they believed, praised, talked about the experience of that night, and even dreamed that the goddess was smiling at them.

And how much divine power did Lude actually use that night?Not much actually!

The holy light technique is the simplest divine technique, it does not consume a lot of energy, and the light is very strong, with great visual impact.

And in this world, no one knows what stage special effects are better than Lude from the earth, so he used a few enhanced holy light spells and wind magic spells that didn't have any actual lethality to create a scene on the scene. The king of quilts is threatening to split the strong visual impact of EX curry sticks.

If Zach hadn't turned his head and ran away in fright, but stood calmly and waited for a few minutes, then he would have discovered that Lude's very bluffing super big lightsaber is actually useless, not even a hair They kept chopping.

This experience has benefited Lu De a lot. He feels that he has successfully touched the door of preaching. As long as he is given more time, he will open up a space for development by himself and surprise those local sects!

Thinking of the happy place, Lude couldn't help showing a smug smile, but then he thought of a key fucking question, his new sect is just like the Principality of Zeon, it has no soldiers to use!

At present, in the entire sect, Lude is basically a bare commander, and there is only a stupid nun pretending to be a goddess under his command. He expects to send this guy out to preach, and he is afraid that he will be lost as soon as he leaves the village. Lude will have to work hard to find her back. .

As for the villagers of Pine Tree Village, Lu De is still waiting and watching for the time being, hoping that he can find some talents in the literacy class this time.

Lude was thinking about something, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Master, are you there? The village chief is looking for you."

"The village chief is looking for me? OK! I'll go there right away."

Putting on Hume's smile, Lude got up and came to the hall of the temple. When the village chief Rom saw him coming, he hurriedly saluted with a smile.

"My lord, I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to hand over the money to you personally."

"Money? What money?"

As Lude said, he lowered his head and noticed that Old Rom was holding a bulging burlap bag in both hands, and immediately remembered what was going on.

"Oh! You're talking about the bounty for capturing bandits!"

End of this chapter

When the bandits were repelled two weeks ago, the villagers captured a total of six prisoners, but in order to help Lu De hide his identity, the last ones who were handed over to the town for rewards were half a dozen dead heads.

After the town's sheriff received the heads, because none of the heads were "reputable" characters on the reward order, they could only be counted as the lowest-level bandits, and each head was given a bounty of ten silver coins.

This amount of money is not a small sum for the villagers.

It is worth mentioning that when Old Rom took these heads to the town to exchange bounties, he learned from the sheriff that Zack, the bandit leader "Handsome" who raided their village that night, was a bounty offered by the Duran Kingdom. No.3 on the leaderboard, his head is worth five hundred gold coins.

This man was a famous mercenary leader more than ten years ago. He was hired by the king of the previous generation to participate in the battle against the enemy. It is said that he fought very bravely. He is extremely handsome, a rare handsome man.Therefore, the princess had a good impression of him, and the king also wanted to recruit him to be his son-in-law and become the general of the kingdom.

But it is a pity that this person later did something treacherous and outrageous, which angered the former king who would be his father-in-law. The two sides turned against each other, and Zac became a wanted criminal in the kingdom.

What exactly did this guy do? The old king of the previous generation has never made it public, but there are rumors that it is very likely that he used his handsome face to seduce the princess and her mother, and painted a layer of green paint on the crown of the old king, otherwise the king would not be able to Angry like that, the previous queen also choked to death on the dining table less than a month after the incident.

For the [-] bounty on him, the old king gave [-], and several major sects in the country jointly gave [-].The most amazing thing is that the enemy country, who was forced to cede land and pay compensation for fighting with the kingdom before, even sent a hundred gold coins to join forces when they heard that King Duran offered a reward for killing Zac. The total reward amount was five hundred gold coins.

Under the temptation of a lot of money, Zach changed from a hero of the kingdom to a roast duck that everyone covets.Thanks to the fast running of this guy, and the fact that he was disfigured while fleeing, he hid in the mountains and became a bandit incognito for more than ten years to avoid the limelight.

This time, if Buddy hadn't been taken prisoner, Lude had given his father's real name intimidated by the torture of Ling Chi, the whole kingdom would have thought that he would have died in some unknown corner long ago.

Five hundred gold coins is an astronomical figure for a countryman who rarely sees gold coins a few times in his life.Although Rom felt that it was a pity, he also knew that the bounty was really obtained by them, and he might not have a chance to keep it warm in his hands.

Holding the bounty in exchange for the heads of the bandits, Old Rom returned to the village, intending to hand over [-] of them to the priest, and the remaining [-] for other purposes.

Lude got a bag of silver coins handed over by the old Roman, weighed it lightly and felt that it was quite heavy, but then thought that the money could not be spent in the village at all, and wanted to experience the feeling of consumption after a long absence. You have to take a donkey cart for a day and go to the town to have this opportunity.

"I really need the money, but I'm disrespectful."

"What's the matter, my lord, this should be yours. To tell you the truth, I still have thirty silver coins left here, and I want to find time to hire two mercenaries in the neighboring town of Unos."

"Mercenaries? Why?"

"It's not for the village. You saw it last time. Our group of old and young men, he...they are too soft! They are also quite strong, but look at the bears they faced the bandits that day. Not as good as a bad old man like me!"

The old man was furious at the poor performance of the villagers when they played against the bandits that night.He himself had been a soldier and fought in battles at any rate, and he single-handedly cut off his sons and grandchildren's marksmanship, and destroyed at least three bandits' crime tools on the spot. He was a well-deserved "killing MVP" that night.

But the other villagers were scared to death one by one. Although they occupied a very favorable terrain, the bandits easily broke through the line of defense.

This incident made old Roma understand that although these pioneers who migrated from the kingdom's interior came to live on the border, they haven't really honed them into sturdy border people in three years. If things go on like this, something will happen sooner or later .

Old Rom only hated himself for being old and unable to bear the toss, so he wanted to use this bounty to hire two experienced veterans, and use this winter's slack time to treat the young and strong in the village well. Practice it.

But if you want mercenaries, the nearby Ximu Town will definitely not work. This town is too small, and you need to go to the larger Unos Town, where there are mercenary agencies and adventurer's homes that can spend money. Where fighters are hired.

When Lu De heard that the village chief was going to send someone to Wunos Town before the snow closed the mountain, he suddenly had some ideas.

"Mr. Village Chief, when you send someone to Unos Town, can you also take me with you, I need to go there in person for some purchases."

"My lord priest, what do you want to buy, I'll just have someone bring it to you. It's a long way, and it's a lot of trouble for you to go back and forth!"

"It's okay, I'm running a school. The children in the village have been practicing writing with slates and charcoal pencils. I want to buy them some real paper and pens, and some other things. I'm afraid I will The list is incomplete, so you have to go there yourself to feel at ease."

"Then... let's do it this way! The day after tomorrow! I'll arrange a few more strong laborers who can do the work, and let my stupid big son drive you there."

"Okay! Then it's settled."

After discussing with Old Rom about going out, Lude sent him out of the gate of the temple, but when he turned around, he saw Aina not far away, peeking through the crack of the door to observe in secret over here.

"Watch~!"

"You don't need to use your mouth to say this kind of onomatopoeia!"

"Master, are you going out?"

"Yes, we will leave the day after tomorrow. The town of Unos is a little far away from here. It will probably take a week to go back and forth. What's the matter?"

"Can, can you take me with you... chant!"

Looking at a pair of big watery eyes full of expectation, Lu De couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling. Since she discovered that acting cute and acting like a baby can effectively make herself compromise, she has started to learn and use it.

So Lu De smiled and walked in front of the other party, gently touched her little head, and said in a very gentle tone.

"That depends on whether you can finish eating three big green peppers tonight!"
