crush the rich

The holy city and the capital of the sages originally had no transmission lines, but during this period of time, with the efforts of a group of mages, they finally began to be built.

This is very good for the black sage, because from now on he can control the holy city relatively smoothly.

However, in his expectation, it is still not the Magic Association that really controls the Holy City, but the Church of Life founded by Yin Lian.The religious atmosphere in the Holy City is strong, and there is a strong sense of hostility towards the Magic Association.If the Magic Association is directly controlled, then most of them will result in half the effort.

Life Church is different.

The Life Church itself is still religious in nature. Although they were on the side of the Magic Association before, they lacked aggressiveness, and there were no rumors of evil deeds before.Compared with most of Martil's sects, Life Church should belong to a Huairou sect—and this should be very attractive to the people who have been oppressed by the Holy City Church for a long time.

Even if there are many stubborn believers in the Holy City, as long as the Church of Life can successfully mobilize some believers, it will be a matter of time before they are defeated one by one.

The black sage had high hopes for Yin Lian, but Yin Lian actually didn't want to get involved in this matter.One reason is that the Holy City is a trophy of the Magic Association, and the intervention of the Church of Life is likely to cause dissatisfaction among some mages.The second reason is that because Yin Lian has a lot of affairs, Matil is not the place Yin Lian wants to focus on in various senses.

The magic technology here has developed quite maturely. Although the development of other social technologies is not very good, but only in the art of war... Maybe it is better to judge who is stronger than the earth.

In this case, Martil is basically a world with an owner, and the force value is not weak.Yin Lian has a little friendship with the black sage, and her family is quite influential on Earth... Even so, she still doesn't think she has the ability to control both parties.

For the Black Sage, is their friendship comparable to a rich, technologically advanced world full of every kind of enjoyment?As far as Yin Huai is concerned, will he follow his daughter's advice and just give up a world where magic and magical power may exist?

No matter how confident Yin Lian is, she won't think highly of herself like this.

Because of realizing this, Yin Lian didn't want to attack Matil, at least not now.She feels that it is best to maintain her influence on Martial at the current level, which will not cause a rebound from the local forces, and will allow some room for material collection and trade exchange.

Because she didn't have too many intentions, Yin Lian didn't want to spend too much time on expanding the influence of Life Church.She had planned to do so.

But when the black sage offered to let her take over the Holy City, Yin Lian hesitated.

She thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to accept this task.She has seen the attitude of the Magic Association towards the Holy City believers.She didn't sympathize with the enemy, but felt that the attitude of the magicians was very problematic, and they might turn the influence they could win into a resistance force.

That was something Yin Lian didn't want to see.

However, considering all aspects of the problem, Yin Lian deliberately pretended to be hypocritical.

She said: "It's not a problem to help take over the Holy City, but I don't want to control the Holy City. The only thing the goddess cares about is food and life. We can't go against the wishes of the goddess and involve too much in our duties that do not belong to us."

Black Sage said: "Controlling the holy city is something that every sect dreams of."

Yin Lian then said: "To control the holy city, you only control the body, and only by controlling the people's hearts can you control the soul of this city. But if you can control the people's hearts... there is no need to worry about other details. Teacher, whether the teachings of the goddess can win the hearts of the people... has nothing to do with who took over the city."

The black sage said: "You are too idealistic."

Yin Lian said: "However, as long as the teacher wishes, I will appease everyone. After all, I don't want too much conflict between the mage and the disciples. It's not good for anyone."

The black sage smiled immediately and said, "I'll wait for your good news."

Yin Lian said: "Please also ask the teacher to send a team of mages to assist us."

After that, Yin Lian came to the holy city through the teleportation circle, and found that the atmosphere in the city was tense to the extreme.The people were trembling and fled in all directions when they saw the person dressed as a mage appearing.It is clearly an extremely prosperous city, but few people walk on the streets.

But Yin Lian felt that there was actually an undercurrent surging in the city.

She was not noticed by many people when she entered the city, because no one was out and about in the city at all, and not many people cared about trivial matters.She was wearing a cloak again, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly at all, so she was naturally not easy to attract attention.

When Yin Lian entered the city, many people only thought that there was another group of vicious mages coming. Most of them just hid in their own houses, looking out through the gaps in the curtains, and praying nervously.

However, their gods seem to have stopped responding.

However, after Yin Lian appeared in the city, she didn't start preaching immediately, nor did she forcefully summon the people.The first thing she did was start repairing and rebuilding the temple complex.

During the process of restoring the temple complex, she also recruited city residents as temporary workers, called merchants to trade in building materials and some daily necessities, and hired nearby city residents to provide lunch for the workers.Because of the war, many shops in the city are no longer operating, and even if they are still operating, most of the businesses are bleak.

People are afraid of mages and dare not walk around at will, but at the same time they need the necessary income and living materials.So when Yin Lian made this proposal, it was inevitable that some people felt their hearts flutter.

Of course, there are still some people who regard mages as devils and fear them, but stubbornly refuse to have anything to do with them.

When Yin Lian was observing how many people were willing to come to work near the ruins, he suddenly heard a commotion.But it turned out that those who wanted to work had conflicts with their relatives.

When Yin Lian heard the noise, she walked over, and then heard someone roaring: "You are making a deal with the devil!"

The woman who was yelled at by him replied: "Stop talking nonsense. May the Goddess bless you... I have heard the teachings of the Goddess of Life. She is such a kind and generous god... If you say such things again, you will be too cruel to the Goddess." Disrespectful."

The man said: "What kind of good people can be with those guys from the Magic Association!? Wake up! That's a false god! It's a cult! They're just better at talking and deceiving people."

When Yin Lian heard the quarrel, she went up and asked, "Who are you?"

The magician behind her stared at her fiercely, and the man suddenly lost the confidence to slander him just now. The woman hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord envoy! Please spare him! He didn't mean it."

Yin Lian suddenly laughed, and said in a sonorous tone: "Go back!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, but she didn't react, so Yin Lian said again: "Go back! We don't need people who slander the goddess to work here! Go back to your home...it's my kindness."

The couple were startled, and then the woman cried and begged: "My lord, I really want to believe in the goddess! I don't have much food in my family, and I have two children to raise..."

Yin Lian then said: "Even if the holy city is a little sparse at this time, I believe there are still many things that can be done for you. As for whether you admire the goddess or not, I don't care. I only know that every couple will make a promise when they enter into a marriage contract The same body. So no matter how you explain yourself, in my opinion, you are one. Since he has resentment towards the goddess, you must share this resentment for him.”

"I will not let people who hate the goddess work for the goddess, because I cannot guarantee that you will not hurt other believers. They are all devout, and I am responsible for them."

She said it beautifully.Although it literally rejected the woman's job request with righteous words, but because of the ingenious words and reasons, it did not make people feel harsh or ruthless. Instead, everyone involuntarily followed her train of thought and approved her decision.

The woman cried and said, "But what about my child..."

Yin Lian then said: "Your husband has hands and feet, and his limbs are healthy... If he can't even earn three meals a day, does he still need a goddess to take responsibility for you?"

She spoke clearly and said word by word: "What do you think of the goddess? While bearing your disrespect, at the same time granting grace kindly? If I treat you like this, is it fair to other devout believers?"

Her usual external image has always been gentle and amiable.Regardless of Yin Lian's original character, at least she will maintain a unified image when she presents herself as a divine envoy.

Of course, the mages in the Magic Association still knew to some extent that this disciple of the Black Sage was not as gentle and deceitful as she showed to the outside world.It's just that they may not understand Yin Lian's true character.

At this moment, Yin Lian's attitude was still within the comprehension range of mages, but it was quite unexpected to the believers in the holy city.

However, Yin Lian's performance was well measured.Her words are too ingenious, and she naturally uses the way she wants to lead the thoughts of the bystanders into the angle she wants.

Although her rhetoric was harsh, it did not arouse the resentment of most believers, but made many believers feel warm.At the same time, it also made some people realize that this divine consciousness may not be as weak and easy to use as they imagined.

"She is indeed much more difficult to deal with than imagined." The handsome man sitting on the armchair stroked the cat on his lap and said with a smile.

The previous woman asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

The priest fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "I have an idea."
