Chapter 801: The silver fire of the goddess of magic

With Ren's assurance, the Magic Goddess nodded in satisfaction.
Renn was also very excited.
In fact, when the avatar of the goddess of magic came, he knew that the other party had agreed.
Everything shown today, the Statue of the Goddess of Magic, the Temple of Wisdom and the Academy of Magic, is not a bargaining chip that plays a decisive role. What really makes the Goddess of Magic agree to is the five-year plan!
Two months ago, the first five-year plan of the Principality of Augustus was completed.
The results are remarkable, far beyond the target!
The Principality strode into the steam age, experienced the industrial revolution, and exploded productivity. Under the planned economy, the people's living standards were greatly improved, and it invested countless funds for the whole people to a well-off society. Lay a good foundation for the people, the school-based education system spreads the doctrine of the goddess of magic, and sets up wizard colleges to guide people to the goddess.
In just five years, half of the principality of Augustus was converted into believers in the goddess of magic.
Although the total population is small, only about three million, the power of faith provided can be worthy of a kingdom with a population of tens of millions.
And it will be more and more in the future.
The Principality of Drogenbo, north of the Principality of Augustus, was also affected by subtle influences. Queen Amilys secretly cooperated, and some people have given up on the Dragon God and converted to the Goddess of Magic.
The Principality of Zhuo Gengbao quietly built a school.
In fact, it is the temple of the goddess of magic.
At the same time, Rennes also used industrial products to dump other principalities, control their economic lifeline, and cannibalize people's hearts step by step. The more than 30 million people in the Seven Kingdoms of Congatro will sooner or later become the goddess of magic within 50 years. Believers.
The goddess of magic is very satisfied.
Rehn used the opportunity to report the second five-year plan to imply that he could do more and better. The Principality of Augustus is just a test field. If this plan is extended to the empire, it can add more believers to the goddess and provide massive power of faith.
But the prerequisite for the execution of the plan is that one must hold the power of the empire.
The support of the Supreme Council alone is far from enough. The Supreme Council is likely to be dragged down. It must be an absolute rule.
The goddess of magic immediately understood, but did not immediately respond, saying that she would think about it.
until today.
Rehn increased his weight one after another, and finally made him nod.
The goddess of magic flew over, with a cloud of silver fire in her hand, her eyes lit up with divine light shining on Ren's head, she glanced at it and suddenly frowned, and asked rather displeased: "Why are you still a shallow believer?"
"this…"
Ren was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
He has read "The Road to the Conferred Gods", which records that the mortal believers in the world of Ellenus are divided into different categories according to the degree of belief in the gods.
The lowest level are the unbelievers who do not believe in God at all, and then the heretics who believe in other gods. These two do not provide any power of faith at all and have no effect on the gods.
In the eyes of the gods, the unbelievers are the most shameless people, whose value is zero and must be cast aside.
The souls of the unbelievers after death are not protected by gods, and most of them fall into the abyss, become the minions of evil gods, or dissipate directly. However, there are very few unbelievers in Ellen's. Such people are either stubborn and fearless ordinary people or extremely powerful transcendents.
Someone who is better than the unbeliever is a nonbeliever.
They are potential believers, and they may develop into their own new believers. They have some value, but they can give up at any time when needed.
Pan-believers who worship multiple gods at the same time have real value to the gods, because they will provide the power of faith.
Although not much, it is better than nothing.
Regardless of the divine power of any god, it is accumulated little by little by the power of faith, and it is never too small.
Shallow believers are similar to pan-believers, and they do not provide much power of faith. The difference between them is the number of gods they worship. One believes in multiple gods, and one believes in only one god.
The gods naturally prefer shallow believers who only worship themselves. The power of faith provided by a believer is limited and he is unwilling to be shared by other gods.
Most people in the world are shallow believers.
It is very common for shallow believers to cut off believers or convert when they affect their own interests. The frequency of prayer is also low, praying once every few days, often perfunctory.
Above the shallow believers are the loyal believers.
They are extremely loyal to the gods, pray on time every day, and act in accordance with the teachings of God. Faithful believers generally do not change their beliefs unless they endanger their lives and have to compromise. They are the backbone of the church. More than half of the power of faith of gods comes from loyal believers.
Only fanatics can provide more power of faith.
They are all fanatical religious elements, praying many times a day, and their daily lives are strictly guided by doctrine. The meaning of their existence is to give everything to God, including their own lives.
The power of faith provided by a fanatic can be worth ten faithful believers, or hundreds of shallow believers.
However, the number of fanatics is too small, and the power of faith only accounts for less than half.
The gods usually give mad believers the power to serve as the high-ranking church members or even the pope, and choose the most favorite among them as their spokesperson in the mortal world.
That is the Chosen One!
Everyone in the empire thought Ren was the goddess of the goddess of magic, and even the Seven Sisters of the Duke of Silver Star thought so. In fact, he was not at all.
I am just a shallow believer.
He could conceal it from others, but could not hide it from the goddess of magic, he could see clearly at a glance.
"Ren, what's the matter with you?"
The goddess of magic was obviously very upset, and asked coldly: "You pray to me every day, and I respond every time. Isn't this enough for you to agree with my doctrine?"
Ren's cold sweat fell all of a sudden.
Tremendous stress!
To put it bluntly, the devotion of faith is to recognize the doctrine of the gods and whether they are willing to pay more for the gods. The shallow believers are at a very low level in this respect and may change their beliefs at any time.
Ren himself wanted to be more religious and prayed hard every day.
However, as a successor who grew up under the red flag, he really couldn't persuade himself to dedicate everything to a "god" wholeheartedly. Even though the gods of this world have supreme power, they also have many kinds of "personality" of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. They are essentially "human beings", but they have powerful powers.
Since you are also human, why should you be superior to me?
When I have mastered the great power, even stronger than you, do you want to respect me as a god?
For a long time, Renn regarded the goddess of magic as his own boss, or as a customer, and the two sides traded fairly, at most showing enthusiasm in etiquette, and occasionally "licked" to get more benefits from the goddess.
But you are not my wife, why do you kneel and lick without a bottom line?
Belief is something that comes from the heart. I don't agree with it in my heart, and I can't pretend it.
This is because the character and doctrine of the goddess of magic are relatively in line with Renn's three views, and they agree with him. If he is replaced by other gods, he can't even be regarded as a light believer.
"Miss."
Rehn couldn't explain, he could only bite the bullet and replied: "I will pray more in the future, increasing to three times a day."
The goddess of magic glanced at him blankly, "No need."
"I originally wanted to give you silver fire and officially announced that you were promoted to the chosen one of God. Since you are only a shallow believer, then you are not qualified to be my elect." The silver fire in his hand disappeared, and he said lightly: "This is you Loss."
With deep regret on Ren's face, he lowered his head, "I beg your forgiveness, Madam."
In fact, he was relieved.
Most of the chosen are fanatics, such as the Duke of Silver Star and her sisters. For the gods, the mad believers are the real self and can be completely at ease.
Only a very small number of the chosen by God are loyal believers, which is the minimum standard.
No will make a shallow believer become his own elect, and promotion of a godly chosen one requires a lot of divine power, communicates with the gods at any time, and holds a part of the secrets of the gods.
If the chosen one is instigated and converted into faith, not only will they lose these divine powers, but they may also be grasped by the enemy's weakness and use the betrayed chosen one to deal with themselves.
Even if Renn made such a big contribution, the goddess of magic was unwilling to make an exception for him.
"Humph."
The goddess of magic snorted coldly, barely writing "angry" on her face.
He stared at Renn coldly, making his back all wet.
The mysterious silver fire, Ren had heard.
He saw that the Duke of Silver Star and Queen of Storm had used it, and he also learned about the power of Silver Fire from his lover, Kwai Lu.
Its real name is "Magic Secret Fire", which is transformed from the divine power of the magic goddess. It can provide super affinity for the whole family, amplify spell damage, dispel magic, dispel enchantments, penetrate protection, and absorb the enemy's magical energy into healing Many uses can be developed, and only the voters of the goddess of magic are eligible to be given the silver fire.
The caster gets silver fire, at least double the strength, can withstand two or three legendary elements!
But Rennes is not uncommon.
Silver Fire can't make a qualitative leap in his own strength, isn't it a legendary element, there are already more than a dozen legendary elements of his own, and there is no shortage at all.
He was afraid that the goddess of magic would change his mind and withdraw the conditions that had just been negotiated, then he would lose a lot.
My plan to enthrone the throne will also be postponed to make major changes.
Fortunately, the goddess of magic did not get angry for a while and repented, "Don't forget your promise." After saying that, he did not look at Renn again, removed the surrounding soundproof field, his body rose gently, and he was about to return to his own. Kingdom of God.
"Congratulations to the great mysterious lady."
In the square, the holy soul wizard and guests saluted and watched the magic goddess ascend to the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of believers also prayed loudly for delivery.
Soon, when the goddess of magic rose to the height of the gods, a misty voice sounded in everyone's mind: "Bless my followers, I hope one day, I can see you all ascend into my kingdom of God, follow me, and explore together. The future path of magical truth."
"Follow the lady's oracle!" hundreds of thousands of people responded in unison.
The goddess of magic turned into a rainbow channel with light shooting into the sky, and then the channel was closed and the hole disappeared.
The clear sky reappeared, the world was quiet again, and people looked at the statue of the goddess of magic standing tall, still as if in a dream. If it weren't for the blessing of wisdom and blessings, they could hardly believe that they had seen the goddess descend.
Ren was completely relieved and smiled.
After all, the goddess of magic could not resist her temptation, and no could refuse the plan that would increase the power of faith.
Believers are the foundation and weakness of the gods.
The desire for believers, the power of faith, and the power of divine power suppressed the anger of the magic goddess, even, he could only sulk himself, and did not even lower a small punishment.
God is not that scary!
Rehn murmured in his mouth, proud, his eyes swept over the guests under the steps, and when they noticed their gaze, they showed awe and a little curiosity.
Even the holy soul wizard is the same.
There is only one exception.
That was his teacher Anse Verdas. The old wizard could not see anything abnormal on his face, but the eye of the soul sensed that his mood at the moment was very complicated.
The Queen of Storm asked directly: "Ryan, what did the lady tell you?"
"No comment."
Renn ignored the Queen of the Storm and waved his hand to restore the projection screen on the sky. The voice spread across the bay and said loudly: "Everyone, the great lady has returned to the kingdom of God, but our unveiling ceremony is not over yet."
"Now, please speak to us, His Excellency Gnieus, the Archon of the Empire."
"Your Excellency, please."
Ren sent an invitation on the steps, and waited until Gnieus came up naturally, gave him the position, and retreated to the side by himself.
Last night, when the chief of staff of the Dutch Palace informed that Gneus would be attending, Rehn asked Frankaska to reply to the other party. Today, he will invite the consul to give a speech and reveal some information and procedures of the ceremony. He is ready.
Sure enough, Gnieus took the stage leisurely and immediately began his speech.
"The goddess shelters, the truth is forever!"
He prayed first, and then said: "Holy souls, gentlemen and ladies, I am honored to be invited by Speaker Rennes to participate in today's ceremony. To be honest, I am as shocked as you are before coming. , I don’t know the lady will come..."
Gnieus talked eloquently on the stage, sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, and the content was not boring at all, and he did not forget to praise Rennes.
Hundreds of thousands of people are listening carefully.
Standing a few steps away, Ren, the Eye of Soul had been observing Gneus. He always felt that there was something wrong with the consul, but after careful observation for a moment, he found nothing.
Ganeus's speech was not long, and ended in ten minutes.
In the end, he strongly praised Gotham, certified the legality of the city, and called on more people from the empire to come to Gotham and open up a new continent for the empire.
This is the main purpose of Rennes's invitation to Gnieus to come and give a speech.
"never mind."
"Since the goal is achieved, that's okay."
Ren no longer suspicious, waited until Gnieus finished his speech in a warm applause, and shook hands with him to greet a few words. The two faced the audience together, kept still, with smiles on their faces, and asked the reporters to take the pictures.
Within half a day, the group photo of the two will appear on the front page of all newspapers in the empire together with the statue of the goddess of magic.
This concludes the opening ceremony.
Hundreds of thousands of people gradually dispersed, and the Temple of Wisdom and the Great Library will not officially open until tomorrow.
Ren took the holy soul wizard, archon, and guests into the Temple of Wisdom to visit the exhibitions and the large library inside. A few hours later, the visit was over, most of the guests left Gotham City immediately, and Gnieus had returned to the Empire earlier.
