Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 505 Decision
Rhodes was sitting in the study, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, while thinking about how to make those murlocs devout.

It has been two weeks since he returned to the castle, and these days he can clearly feel that the power of faith gained every day is constantly decreasing.

It's not that the number of murlocs has decreased, but that they are not as pious as before.

Rhodes decided to carry out the plan in a few days, capture all the murlocs, and throw them into the mine.

But before that, he had to think about how to brainwash them.

Should they be told that if they believe in themselves, what will they get?

As long as you believe in him, work hard and do good deeds, the more suffering you suffer in this life, the happier you will be in the next life?
Or tell them that as long as they believe in him, Rhodes will save them from the sea of ​​suffering one day, even if they are not saved when they are alive, they can still enter heaven after death and live a happy life from then on?
Forget it, let's ask Michel for her opinion, she should have a lot of experience in this regard.

Rhodes stood up, opened the door and left the study.

Since the implementation of the new system, his daily work has been reduced a lot, and he can finish almost everything at noon every day.

The rest of the time can be used to practice martial arts.

During this period of time, he was mainly cultivating his internal strength. He wanted to increase the total amount of his internal strength, so that the quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change, so as to become a demigod.

Rhodes had already used up half of the chivalry points he had obtained before, and he used them for advanced lottery draws to extract medicines.

His luck is not bad, the last lottery draws are all rare medicinal materials that can enhance internal strength or enhance physical strength.

Taking these medicinal materials to cultivate his internal energy is simply getting twice the result with half the effort. In just two weeks, his internal energy has increased a lot.

It takes him four or five days to absorb the medicinal effect of a plant of medicinal herbs. If Rhodes can continue to practice martial arts with these rare medicinal herbs that can only be drawn in high-level lottery, it may not be long before he can reach the standard of qualitative change. It can also be realized that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Rhode walked up the stairs to the hall on the first floor of the castle, and then he walked towards the kitchen.

In the past few days, after finishing work, Michel would usually go to the kitchen to learn how to cook from Lorraine.

Anyway, Rhode felt that even if she learned it, it would not be of much use. Logically speaking, a noble lady like her would definitely not cook by herself.

If she returned to Glory City and ran into the kitchen and said that she was going to cook by herself today, the chefs in the castle would probably be scared to death.

They will definitely wonder if it is too unpalatable to cook by themselves, so the eldest lady cooks herself.

But Rhodes guessed that Michelle might really think that their cooking was too unpalatable...

"Are you busy now? I have a question to ask you?" Rhodes asked after walking into the kitchen, looking at Michel who was chopping vegetables.

"What's the problem?" Michelle asked after putting the cut vegetables on the plate.

"Why did you believe in your god before?" Rhodes asked.

"My dad believed in it, my playmates believed in it, everyone around me believed in it, so I believe in it.

After reading your books, I feel that I no longer believe in some fictional gods like I used to, but I don't know why I can still perform magic. ’ replied Michelle.

Rhodes was very surprised when he heard it, and he asked, "Which books have changed you?"

"It should be said that the combination of those books changed me." Misaier replied: "I feel that the reason why we used to think that things like the sun, moon, fire, and light are controlled by gods may be because we used to I don't understand these things at all, but I want to explain them reasonably, so I imagined a god that didn't exist at all.

After experiencing so many things, I also know that the so-called gods in our world are actually just stronger creatures, not much different from us, nor are they born at the beginning of the world as in the legend.

If so, why should I believe in them?

Rather than praying that they will give us strength, take the time to hone yourself. ’ replied Michelle.

"Hearing what you said, I don't even know how to deceive others." Rhodes sighed.

He thought it would be fine if he just killed all the murlocs to complete the system's tasks.

The power of faith they provide is not pure, and contains a lot of negative emotions and thoughts. After a long time, Rhodes feels that he will definitely be affected.

Moreover, this influence is subtle, and he will definitely not be able to notice it himself. Misel said yesterday that he seems to have become a little irritable, and he can see it when dealing with territorial affairs.

"Who are you going to lie to?" Michelle turned his head and asked.

"It's nothing." Rhodes shook his head, he hadn't told Michel and them about this.

In the eyes of normal people in this world, murlocs should kill as many alien races as they can, otherwise they will cause big trouble sooner or later.

If two countries are half at war, and a group of such things come out, they will definitely be killed first.

"You asked me that question just now, don't you want to become a demigod by collecting beliefs?" Michel put down the kitchen knife in his hand, turned around and looked at Rhodes and asked.

"I did have this idea before." Rhodes nodded.

"You must not take this path. Although this path seems to be the easiest to become a demigod, it actually has too many disadvantages. The thoughts of believers will affect you. Sooner or later, you will become bound by believers and the content of the teachings. true slave." Misaiel said anxiously.

"I see." Rhodes smiled awkwardly.

"Becoming a god in this way will completely dehumanize you. Your character and way of thinking will become what your believers imagined, and each believer's thoughts are slightly different, which will make you distorted." Michel reminded again.

"I'm going out for a while now, I don't have to cook for me tonight." Rhode was a little flustered by Misel's words, and decided to deal with those murlocs right away.

"I'll go with you, I don't have anything important to do anyway," Michelle said.

Rhodes hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

He felt that if he wanted to completely destroy the murloc lairs to complete the system tasks, he should also purify some things in the murloc lairs. In this regard, Misel was much more professional than him.

"Then let's go now, I have a lot of food in my space ring." Rhodes said as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Wait for me, I'll wash my hands first, and then go back to the room to get something." Michelle said loudly to Rhodes.
