Chapter 98 Experiment
The two old men didn't speak, but anyone could tell that their hands were trembling slightly.
If they had said such words in front of the two of them in a different situation, they would have long since bombarded each other and would have never believed them. However, the person who said these words at this time was Shuer.
It has nothing to do with personal relationships, well, to be precise, it has something to do with it. Although they tried every means to stop Delia from their side, they were actually half-hearted. From the bottom of their hearts, they also looked forward to their children being by their side in the last days. Who made them keep their dream memories? Therefore, they were always grateful to Shuer, so they just said that they could help the shadow-seekers from their own personal aspects. It is precisely because of this that the two of them thought about Shuer seriously under the so-called scientific and technological education background.
"It sounds like nonsense, right?" Shure said with a relaxed smile as if he knew what the two old men were thinking. "Actually, when I first came into contact with this field, I also felt it was nonsense. However, the starting point of my contact was relatively high, and I couldn't help but doubt it. As for you, you have not witnessed the miracles with your own eyes and were not bathed in the sacred glory in person. It is understandable that we can't believe what we say, but you always know the commotion in the floating city of the virtual world below."
The two old men twitched their mouths. They did not observe the situation in the virtual world at that time, so they did not directly witness it. However, in the subsequent report of the mechanical body, they saw the image of the spectacular parade of the dead. The black air lingered around the king's revival, as if the horror stories that scared children in the past peace era were displayed in the world. Those who saw these may find it difficult to maintain a negative attitude towards the magical powers beyond human power.
"Militi." Shure's smile was a little weird, "Don't you show the two captains some tips from the world of the Dead?"
"Hmph, a boring trick." The undead mage's smile was arrogant and contemptuous. "There are no corpses here. I have never learned how to create spell casting materials out of thin air. Of course, I don't mind opening the exit of the Styx and allowing them to see the scenery on both sides of the Styx. However, I don't know if they mind. After the water of the Styx, I have no idea whether there can be any living people on this spacecraft."
"Mind, we mind very much." Before her parents, Delia's cold sweat stopped the necromancer who began to draw the magic circle in the air with a green light. She had seen with her own eyes how this terrifying woman opened another extremely terrifying space and summoned a large number of bones to build a wall of bones. The bone-black wind blowing from the entrance and the slightest wailing sounded deep in the soul made the little guy not sleep well for several days. It was just the entrance to the underworld, which made her never want to experience it again. Now she still wants to pour the green flames that looked dangerously glowing on the spaceship. Don't joke. I will have to persist on the spaceship alone for decades in the future. Do you want me to have nightmares every day?
"Hahaha, just a little joke." Is it a joke? Of course, only I understand in my heart. Shuer patted Delia's head, comforted the little girl hiding behind him and secretly sang to Militi, and said to the two old men with a smile, "Although it's just a joke, I think both of you should understand that what I said is true. If you insist, we can let the two see the paradise of the God of the Underworld without causing damage. However, it cannot be too long. It is not a place for creatures to peek at at will. Too much contact will be gradually assimilated by the world of the dead. Just like Militi, even as Haas's believers, there will be a lot of damage due to excessive contact with the underworld. For the sake of your life safety, you can see it, but it is not allowed to exceed ten seconds at a time."
"No need." The two old men shook their heads vigorously. The more detailed Shuer said, the higher the credibility they felt. Moreover, when they saw their daughter's reaction, they no longer had the authenticity of the world of the dead, and they must not be interesting at all. The two were not interested in experiencing a awake nightmare. "We do not doubt what you mentioned after death, but... it is too abrupt. We need to think about it."
"Ha, it's okay, we're not in a hurry." Shuer said with a smile, "and I know that this is not something that the two can decide alone. What I hope is to bury the seeds of faith into the consciousness of all survivors of the Brown Star civilization, but not limited to this Jackdaw. Therefore, after the two accept it, we must accompany us to convince all the captains in the fleet, well, not only this cooperation clause, but all cooperation clauses should be made known to the captains. Now we are just a reminder for the two."
"Well, we understand that if it is indeed feasible, we will also help convince us." The old woman patted Ryan's leg and signaled him not to think about it for too long. "It must be admitted that the things Mr. Shure promised are indeed very tempting. Having special power can indeed rely on more in danger. After death, he was sober and led into the Kingdom of God was even more attractive. However, I think Mr. Shure did not say all the benefits, and seemed to have deliberately concealed part of it. Can I know why?"
"I think the two misunderstood something. Faith is not business, nor is it a devil temptation. It is not that I can tempt you with various benefits and promises to deceive you into the church. Faith should be worship from the heart and the reward of gods to the devouts. So of course I cannot say the most important part explicitly. For example, under the protection of the gods, you can support it for a longer time in desperate situations, have better luck in the face of difficulties, and even have the chance to escape in death. These are miracles that faith may bring, but they cannot be said explicitly, otherwise it will become a demon that seduces people's hearts?" Shuer found that the two old men did not say a word, but just stared at him directly, so these righteous excuses could not be explained at all, so he could not continue to say these righteous excuses, so he had to touch his nose awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, I admit that these are just excuses, the reasons I don't say... because I'm not sure."
"Um?"
"Ahem, have you not considered a question?" Shure asked, "Since the gods do not care about the power of faith you provide, and it is not good for your faith. Instead, they have to pay attention to you, so why should you join the church? We are not crazy believers of the Lord of Sacrifice, and have no interest in some thankless things. Well, at least I personally have no interest, so I will not really do things that only troubles and no benefits. Why do I do this?"
The two old men did not react much. Instead, Militi seemed to suddenly think of something, her face changed, and she looked at Shuer in surprise: "You... you guy, you dare to even fight the Lord of the Underworld."
"Don't say it's so ugly. Even if Lord Haas knows what I think, he will only agree, hahaha." Shure chuckled softly and explained to the three brown stars, "Tell the truth, I'm trying to do an experiment."
"Originally, my plan was to let Delia, the child, promote the faith of our Lord in human society and develop a group of believers for our Lord. There is no need to be too many. As long as there is faith, it is all. Although the meager power of faith is difficult to pass on to our Lord through the distorted void, this is a branch church and can become a beacon. In this way, no matter how the two worlds move in the distorted void, as long as the beacon exists, our Lord can position this world at any time. If necessary, as long as we spend a certain price, we can also come to this world again."
"But when I understand the true side of this world, especially when I understand that we are also facing the threat of the big rift, my thoughts have changed. Since I say that we should cooperate fully, of course it will not be so simple and hasty. That's why I proposed that all of you members become believers of our Lord. This will not be a beacon, but a channel."
"If it is just two independent worlds, even if all of you believe in our Lord, it will be difficult to form a channel of faith. Not only has the power of faith passed down in the past, but the blessing of our Lord is also difficult to bless you, let alone let you enter the world of the dead in Pavatiga after your death. But now it is different. Now we have one thing in common, that is, we are facing the big rifts."
"From the study of the large fissures by those metal living organisms, we can find that the large fissures of the void actually connect all the worlds in the twisted void. Just like they, after rushing into the large fissure, as long as they ensure that their existence is not exhausted, they can drift inside the large fissures, and then enter another world through the exits in other worlds without being rejected by the space barrier. Therefore, what I want to test is whether the power of faith can be used to build a stable channel through the large fissures and pass faith to Pavatiga. If the test is successful, not only will the promises I mentioned before be visible, but it can even pass through this channel to reversely transmit divine power to you. Therefore, once this channel of faith is really successfully established, it will bring great benefits to you and my Lord."
"Because in this way, the distance between the two worlds is infinitely narrowed in a sense. If your civilization is fortunate to return to normal, then not only will you provide faith for our Lord, but your souls after death will also return to the underworld. For the extra souls of the entire world, Lord Haas will also stand with our Lord." Shur's voice was full of temptation, "Whether you? Once the faith channel is established, if it really reaches the last moment, my Lord may not have no chance to consume part of the power provided by you, reshape your souls for you, and make some of you become a member of Pavattiga. Haha, this is not a delusion, I am a living example."
