Casting spells

"Hehe, you are very vigilant and think that I will do things that are not good for the church, right?" Not only was Zhang Cheng not angry, but he couldn't help laughing.

That feeling is almost the same as when a dragon encounters a puppy barking at him, and it feels far more interesting than offensive.

"Damn it! You really are a spy sent by the enemy!" The man seemed a little annoyed, and immediately blew his whistle for warning.

When the ear-piercing screams echoed in the streets and alleys, after a while, more than [-] men wearing the same badge rushed over with weapons in hand.

Without saying a word, they first completely sealed off the entire alley, not giving anyone room to enter or exit.

After all this was done, the guy in charge asked out of breath, "What happened?"

"Captain! I found a spy sent by the enemy!" The man quickly replied, pointing at Zhang Cheng who was standing still.

"Spy?!" The leader was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a noncommittal tone: "What about the evidence? If you say he is a spy, you must have proof, right? The church is not those nobles who wantonly trample on the laws and rules. We Before you have the evidence, you must not convict a person casually."

"I...I have no evidence." The man shook his head helplessly, but immediately forced an excuse: "But he just admitted that he wanted to harm the church."

"Hey! Don't frame me indiscriminately, I have never said such a thing before." Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and directly interrupted the other party's attempt to forcibly convict him.

You must know that he has always been the only one who was framed and plotted by others, and it was the first time in history that he was plotted by an unknown person today.

The man obviously didn't know how dangerous this seemingly harmless young man in front of him was.

Unwilling to fail, he rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "Captain, he is not a local, but an outsider. Think about it, how many outsiders we have captured alive recently are those hostile nobles Sent by the lord? For the sake of the great God of Darkness, we must protect the city and the believers living in it. Sometimes we can change it a little bit, first arrest him for interrogation, and release him if he is not a spy. Is it better?"

"Well... what you said seems to make sense. This gentleman, please come with us first. I promise that as long as you explain everything that needs to be explained clearly, you will soon regain your freedom." The captain's people undoubtedly accepted the suggestion of his subordinates,

In any case, the most important thing is to ensure the safety and stability of the city first.

As long as the city is stable, there will be more and more people who believe in the God of Darkness, and the church will grow rapidly, forming an irresistible stormy sea.

As for whether it will offend a strange passenger because of this, it doesn't matter at all.

In the face of religion, personal will is always the most insignificant thing, and some fanatics will be hostile to all groups that differ from their own beliefs, and vow to kill them all.

"Want to catch me? Sorry, I'm afraid you don't have the ability yet. Forget it, for the sake of that woman doing her best for me, I won't care about you idiots for now."

The voice just fell!

Zhang Cheng suddenly sprayed a large piece of crystal clear crystal powder from his palm!

In less than a second, everyone who had been in contact with the crystal powder couldn't help opening their mouths and yawning non-stop, and fell to the ground with a plop in less than half a minute and fell into a deep sleep.

"Hmph! Idiots who have been fooled, I hope you will not choose to commit suicide on the day your faith collapses."

Glancing at the believers who were scattered in deep sleep on the ground, he curled his lips in disdain, and strode towards the building with the huge statue.

The first thousand and 140 seven chapters I am for your good

Religion and belief have always been irrational, mixed with too many strong emotions and impulses, coupled with the "herd effect" mentioned in social psychology, so that even outright cults will have a large number of loyal believers.

What's more, the dark church did not force anyone to donate property for the sake of property. Instead, it provided a daily meal to the poor who could not afford to eat to ensure that they would not starve to death.

In addition, there is a god behind the church, and many talented priests can even obtain some simple magic.

All of the above gathered together and quickly formed a terrifying group effect. Everyone scrambled to show their loyalty to the gods and the church. At the same time, the social atmosphere became more and more conservative and xenophobic. People respond with suspicion or hostility.

Feeling the deformed and sickly frenzy of the whole city, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh, and even felt that the natives on this planet were no different from the humans on Earth.

Perhaps it is because we are weak that we need to use concepts such as religion, nation, country, class, etc. to integrate ourselves into a large group and use the power of the group to protect ourselves.

It may also be because of stupidity. After all, no matter how much advanced knowledge and information a mortal receives, they will never be able to change their primitive and low-level desires.

Although desire, to a certain extent, keeps them evolving and creating splendid civilizations, uncontrolled desire can also bring disaster and destruction.

Thinking while walking like this, Zhang Cheng unknowingly walked through the temporarily transformed temple, looked up and just saw a huge statue standing in the center of the hall.

A man in a black robe is standing nearby, preaching the scriptures to worshipers kneeling on the ground in prayer.

Even though these contents are all bad stories that have just been fabricated and cannot withstand scrutiny at all, the poor people who don't know a lot of characters listen to them with relish, whether they nod or exclaim.

Just as he was staring at the thread of faith behind the statue that was connected to another world, a woman appeared beside him at some point and asked in a low voice, "It's you?! What are you doing here?"

"Why, can't I come? Don't forget, I gave you this statue in the first place." Zhang Cheng turned his head with a half-smile expression.

"No! I mean, what is your purpose here?" The woman was vigilant with a trace of hostility.

She had personally experienced that underground adventure, and she understood how terrifying this seemingly harmless young man in front of her was. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a monster in human skin.

Zhang Cheng was keenly aware of the hostility, and responded casually: "I heard that you uttered wild words and wanted to take back everything that belongs to you from me, so naturally you have to take a look. What, are you scared? Or do you think Am I going to kill this little church?"

"You will not touch the Church of Darkness! Because this is part of your plan! Including me, they are actually one of your pawns. But don't forget, as long as the timing is right, pawns can also become chess players, and prey can also become players." You can become a hunter." The woman suppressed the tension and impulse in her heart, and raised her chin in a proud posture.

"Hahahaha! I admire your courage, and I hope you can keep this bravery until the end. Do you know? In many stories, heroes who resist fate often end in tragedy in the end. This is not because those heroes are not firm enough, but also It's not because they are too weak, but because the manipulation of fate is too powerful, so strong that no matter how you resist, it will only increase the fun of the process and will not change the result. Now, I give this sentence to you, I hope you To be able to play this game to the end with fierce defiance."

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng stretched out his right hand and pinched the woman's cheek presumptuously, his eyes were full of playfulness and sarcasm.

There is no doubt that he likes chess pieces that can resist, and the more fierce the resistance, the more inexplicable happiness he will experience.

The woman undoubtedly felt the humiliation, and the flames of anger kept flickering in her pupils. It took a full minute to push away the hand pinching her cheek: "Be respectful! I am not your servant who has completely lost himself. I You are the chosen people of the great dark god, the patron of the dark power, and you were born to bring true faith to this world. You may be very powerful, but never let me succumb.”

Zhang Cheng was not annoyed by this, and nodded with a light smile: "Of course! I respect your choice, and I will not force you to do anything. Well, let's stop here for now, I have more important things Things need to be discussed, do you have time now?"

"Do I still have the right to refuse? Come with me, this is not a place to talk." The woman was obviously very calm, no matter how angry she was in her heart, she would never joke about business.

The two walked through the spacious corridor one after the other, and after a while they came to a closed office.

Since it was rebuilt from the original city hall, the temple retains a lot of its original decoration and design, and there are even some reliefs of heroes in ancient myths and legends on the pillars.

As the door slammed shut, the woman returned to her seat and asked bluntly, "Tell me, what's the matter? Don't tell me, you pushed the dark church to the surface with your own hands, and let us fight with the whole world." The enemy is for our own good."

"Oh? Why not?" Zhang Cheng blinked his eyes pretending to be innocent.

"Hmph! You think I'm a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive? You drove me to a dead end. Once under siege, millions of believers will die for this, and the church will suffer a heavy blow. There are not enough Believers do not have enough power of faith, and without enough power of faith, there is no way to awaken the God of Darkness. Now I am beginning to wonder what your real purpose is, and whether you still want the God of Darkness to descend." The woman has no Concealing the resentment in his heart, he let it out all at once.

"It seems that you don't really understand what is true faith, do you?" Zhang Cheng also sat down on the chair, crossing his hands in front of his chest.

"What do you mean?" The woman frowned subconsciously.

Zhang Cheng pretended that I was doing it for your own good and explained: "It's very simple! The so-called faith never refers to the number of believers, but the degree of piety. Do you think that just how much faith can be provided by those pretending guys in the city?" Together, they may not be worth a saint. Therefore, faith needs baptism, the baptism of blood and death, and only those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the church, who thought they were gods, can provide piety Only by your faith can you awaken the God of Darkness. All I have done is to accelerate this process, a painful process that you must go through..."

The first thousand and 140 eight chapters patricide

Obviously, for this world that has never produced real gods, no one will know what kind of power faith is, let alone the relationship between gods and faith.

Although the woman has always been strongly wary of Zhang Cheng, she finally believed the so-called "faith needs blood baptism".

Not long after, she began to order the church to form an army. While Kerwin was still aggressively invading other countries, she began to attack the surrounding towns like crazy. She didn't care about sacrifices at all. In just a week or two, she ruled The area has doubled.
