The Era of Gods

It took almost four days for Lin Xiao to get out of this forest. On the third day, he found a small hut in the forest. It looked like a place where hunters rested in the forest. He followed the traces to find the way down the mountain. After wandering around for a long time, he finally found it The way people come out.

Fortunately, what he prepared this time was a set of leather armor, and replacing it with thick plate armor would not be enough even with his current physique.

When passing through a bush, there is a half-person-high wilderness overgrown with weeds in front of you. Looking up, you can vaguely see the faint shadow of thatched huts in the distance of the wilderness, as well as faint blue smoke.

"There are villages!"

He tidied up briefly, and walked over there through the half-person-high weeds.

This wasteland is a real wasteland, full of insects and poisonous snakes, I am afraid that I have stepped on more than ten poisonous snakes along the way.

Poisonous snakes are nothing, his leather boots have very high defense, and the poisonous fangs can't bite through them at all. The main annoyance is the small bugs, which always sneak in through the gaps in the leather armor unknowingly.

If in other planes, the totem breath can still be emitted to shock these little bugs, but in this non-magic plane, the power of the totem cannot be used at all. Any talent or ability of a totem master here is disabled, and only becoming a totem master can obtain it. His powerful physique and strength can be used.

The power of the physical body is the most common power in the heavens and myriad worlds, and it is impossible to disable the physical power of any crystal wall universe.

Even a world where only souls and spirits exist can be used, but the premise is that you can have a physical body in that world.

Almost overcoming obstacles all the way to the village, before he got close, he was seen by two militiamen wearing linen clothes and holding wooden guns on a wooden watchtower at the entrance of the village. Raised his spear like a great enemy and shouted:

"￥#@#@%#...?"

He quickly raised his hand and shouted:

"￥#@#\u0026￥"

This is the language of this world, and Lin Xiao can understand it a little bit. He had made up for the common language of this world half a month ago in the fortress.

But there was too little time to learn a general idea, and he could only understand a small amount of vocabulary, and then guessed a general idea based on this vocabulary combined with the current situation.

Lin Xiao put the long-handled saber knife into its sheath to show that he had no malice, and then took out a tree carving behind his back and held it in front of him. He used the half-baked common language of the plane and gestured with gestures, which made the two militiamen look puzzled .

Fortunately, his action of sheathing the knife can be regarded as a release of goodwill in this world. The two militiamen could bear their temper and listen to him gesticulate in half-baked words, and it took a long time for them to respond with half understanding.

It took a lot of effort to communicate, and a large group of people in the village behind was alarmed to come out to watch the play. It took almost half an hour before he was allowed to enter the village.

But they are only allowed to stay at the entrance of the village and are not allowed to enter the village. Obviously, they are still very wary.

Lin Xiao didn't mind about this, took out two silver coins, bought some tableware and tools from the villagers with gestures, and stayed here for the time being.

A village is a standard starting place.

It's not that he started to spread the faith here. Before he figured out the situation in the early stage, he was not going to rush to spread the faith, but to see if he could hire some strong guys here, so as to build a small team first.

Of course, although there is no rush to spread faith, there are still pre-preparations.

After buying tools and tableware with silver coins, in front of many surrounding villagers and children, Lin Xiao quietly took out a ring and put it on, then put the empty tableware on the table, and made it now according to the standard prayer ceremony for himself before the meal of his family A routine, every move is full of a sense of religious ritual, which makes these villagers and children very novel.

After a standard prayer ceremony, he quietly activated the summoning table spell that came with the ring, and the empty dinner plate in front of him was filled with all kinds of delicious food out of thin air like magic, which immediately attracted the exclamation of the surrounding onlookers.

Lin Xiao ignored the shocked and disbelieving eyes, and distributed most of the summoned food to the surrounding villagers, leaving only a small portion for himself.

During the first year of high school, I learned about missionary and belief management courses. In the early stage of spreading beliefs, different means are needed to face different intelligent creatures.

For example, in the face of a scholar, you can talk to him about knowledge and the truth, as long as you overwhelm him with an absolutely overwhelming advantage in the field he is best at, and make him feel awe, then after being lured and diverted by honesty and kindness, you will be It is possible to develop it into a believer.

If you are facing a powerful warrior, you have to talk about force and power. In most foreign worlds, force represents power and wealth.

At this time, Lin Xiao faced the farmer, and it was useless to talk about big truths and brags, he just used Chiguoguo's food to lure him.

Don’t tell them that they will have food if they believe in God. It’s useless to talk about it. Actually, telling them that they will have food if they believe in the true God devoutly is more useful than saying anything.

Therefore, when the food that the onlookers actually ate was confirmed to be true, the news quickly spread throughout the village.

At this time, normal people would tend to use iron-clad sticks to preach, but Lin Xiao did not do so. Instead, he drew a saber and chopped off a stone pillar at the entrance of the village that was taller than a person, and rejected the proposal of the village leader in a gentle tone. Unreasonable demands.

Lin Xiao has his own unique way and talent in managing beliefs.

Not only did this going in the opposite direction not anger the villagers, but it aroused awe in their hearts, especially the young men in the village, who worshiped him after seeing him slashing a stone with one knife and then easily lifting a boulder of several thousand kilograms with one hand.

"Your Excellency Rolle is definitely a powerful knight, and I bet the baron is not so powerful."

A few middle-aged boys sat in the shade of a tree and looked at Lin Xiao not far away, holding a huge two-meter-long stone sword cut out of stones, swinging it at will like nothing, and their eyes were even more worshipful.

The best way to impress this kind of young and strong guy is to show off his strength. You don't need to show high-end strength, just the initial strength beyond ordinary people has already shocked them.

He practiced a certain set of swordsmanship that he had learned when he was not an apprentice of a totem master a few times. He drew his sword and stood up, breathing out a breath of white air and hitting the wooden stake with a "pop" sound. Shocked.

Putting the stone sword weighing hundreds of kilograms on the stand, he waved to a few young men not far away.

"Lord Luo Er is calling us?"

A strong young man ran over excitedly. He wiped his hands with a white cloth beside him, and asked casually:

"Do you want to learn?"

The boys stared wide-eyed and thought they had heard it wrong, and after a while, they nodded hurriedly:

"We want to learn!"

"Very well, come to my place every morning from now on."

Half a month later, Lin Xiao woke up slowly, opened the door, and on the flat ground outside the door, a dozen young men of different ages were practicing with wooden weapons.

There is already a washbasin filled with well water and wet towels next to the well. Simply wash your face and mouth, carry your sword and come to the flat ground to watch them practice.

I'm sure I won't be able to practice anything in more than ten days, but at least I have a look.

He didn't teach any substantive things in the past half month, but simply taught a routine, which at most played the role of exercising the body and did not involve other strengths.

The main function these days is to hone their will and select teenagers with a certain amount of willpower.

After looking at it for a while, he went back to the house and moved out a large stone nest, and then moved out several large bags, which were filled with herbs that he asked the villagers to pick by the way.

Of course, these herbs have no effect, nor are they any recipes. They are just randomly picked by the villagers, mainly to cover up the pills they are going to make later.

If there is no accident, these young men will become his first batch of subordinates, so naturally they need to be strengthened a little.

In addition, after half a month, the villagers in this village have already imitated his actions and prayed before eating.

Although it is useless, and there is no power of faith sensed now, it is a good start.

From the information he obtained from occasional exchanges with the villagers, at the same time, he took the time to go out and inspect the surrounding area in the past half a month, and he knew that the village he was in now was ruled by a baron family named Gibson, and the baron's name was Herman Gibson. , the family ruled a small town and eight villages, as well as a large wasteland, a forest and a small iron mine around it.

The Gibson family has a castle between the town named Gibson and the iron mine. It is said that they have raised five knights and more than forty full-time warriors. They can summon more than one hundred and fifty young adults in battle. Moderately average.

The so-called knight, like the knight in most foreign worlds, refers to a strong man with physique and strength far beyond ordinary people.

Because there is no extraordinary power in this world, and there is no so-called fighting spirit either. He has quietly been to Baron Gibson's castle and seen the so-called knights. They are just elite warriors with physique and strength more than three times that of normal men, equipped with superb fighting skills and Elite weapons and armor are indeed crushed by ordinary farmers like chopping melons and vegetables.

Now there are two roads before Lin Xiao, one is to develop faith in a peaceful way, try every means to preach at the bottom, and then influence the nobles, take the religious route.

The other is to use force to preach, and rely on powerful force to forcibly add faith to the common people. Simply put, it means becoming a powerful lord himself and forcing the people to believe in the name of the lord.

There are pros and cons to the two routes, but it is certain that preaching by force is more difficult.

But this is the best choice under the current circumstances. After all, this is not a safe world. Sixty-six children of nightmares and children of the spiritual realm are watching by the sidelines. He may be eliminated at any time. He must have enough force protect yourself.

Then, the only way to preach is by force.

Of course, this does not mean that he has to train an army to defeat the baron and become a noble himself. Although this is also a path, it is too troublesome, and the battle of the lord has always been troublesome.

Lin Xiao is going to use the combination of church and force to protect the church with force, and then unite many nobles with faith.
