"Your Majesty, you want to build a pioneer village as the foundation of faith, right?" Snow asked after knowing Sui Xiong's situation.
"Yes. Although I haven't built my own belief system yet, I will have one sooner or later," Sui Xiong answered frankly.
"In this case, I have a suggestion." Snow flicked her fingers, and the ice and snow danced quickly on the "blackboard," and soon a big map was drawn.
She pointed to the map and said, "Look, the four towns in the northwest are distributed from south to north along the Barren Mountains, but in fact, there are still one or two towns further north. The reason why no one goes there is that the climate is cold and the winter is too hard to bear. "
"But for Your Majesty's believers, this is not a problem. I believe that a god who is good at cold will have a way to protect his believers from the cold. "
Then the map on the blackboard disappeared, showing a bare-chested man showing off his muscles in a piece of ice and snow, with steam rising from his head.
Seeing the floating jellyfish in the air slightly nodding, Snow continued, "Since cold resistance is not a problem, it is also not a problem to cultivate and plant. In this case, the cold weather will not hinder the reproduction of your believers, but will become their natural defense. This defense may not have much effect on magic beasts, but it will definitely be very effective for people with evil thoughts! "
On the blackboard, a group of armored people with spears wanted to attack the bare-chested man, but they were frozen on the way.
Sui Xiong thought about it and nodded.
Snow's words made sense. As a god who was good at cold magic, he did have special skills to resist cold.
Unlike ordinary people who relied on warmth to resist cold, he could absorb cold. After absorbing cold, what was left was naturally warmth. Hence, as long as he left a clone in every development village to absorb the cold air, or simply set up a magic array that could condense the cold air, he would be able to create a warm spring zone in this world of ice and snow. Jiangnan in the north was just around the corner.
And … according to what the God of Redemption had taught him, a good god should always let his believers feel his existence and power, which could effectively increase the degree of devotion of his believers. The Jiangnan area in the Country of Ice and Snow … This would definitely let all the pioneers clearly feel their own power, which was good for increasing their faith.
"This idea is good, but it will cost too much." Palin, who had worked in a caravan, was more sensitive to money, so he said, "Pioneers can only be recruited from the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, and it will cost a lot of money to send them from there to places further north than Dragon-roar Town. And to build a village in the snow and ice, even with the help of His Majesty's great Divine power, it will cost a lot of manpower and resources! "
He shook his head and sighed, "Lady Snow, your plan is indeed very tempting, but perhaps we can only carry it out when our church develops to a certain extent and has a sufficient foundation."
What he said was very reasonable, and Sui Xiong could not help but secretly nod.
Gerrard was strong and good at teaching students, so it was easy for him to establish prestige among the pioneers; Palin was diligent and liked to think, and he also knew some business knowledge, so he could give valuable suggestions in many cases; Satan was knowledgeable, skilled in magic, and had quite a number of high-level contacts; Rode was cautious and meticulous, so he was most suitable to make up for mistakes and could effectively prevent the team from making mistakes.
Just like a famous saying on Earth, talent is the most important! If he really wanted to build up the church, spread his faith, and become a proper God, the more talents the better!
"You're right, but you still don't have enough foresight." Snow shook her head and said with a smile, "After all, he's too young and inexperienced … Just like Frost, he always thinks he's capable and useful, but you've seen the result."
An arrogant little dragon appeared on the blackboard. It raised its head and breathed fire. Two dragons, one big and one small, sighed together. In the blink of an eye, the picture was erased again, and Sui Xiong went back to the previous topic, "Indeed, for a God, the development of faith is not a matter that needs to be rushed. A hundred years is not a long time, nor is a thousand years. Anyway, the great gods are immortal. Even if countless years have passed, I, who have lived for a long time, have become a pile of bones in the dragon tomb with only a little cold air left. His Majesty, the Void Mask, is still the same. At most, he is more mature and experienced. "
"But for a new God, the first step to develop the church must be steady and heavy, just like building a house, the foundation must be firmly laid!"
Saying this, the picture on the blackboard changed to a big stone being nailed to the ground, and then a towering castle was built on top of it, which remained motionless despite the wind and rain.
"Why?" Sui Xiong was not so easily convinced, but asked for the reason first.
In the information given to him by the God of Redemption, there was no mention of this.
Seeing that Sui Xiong did not understand, Snow continued to say, "As you said, first build one or two pioneer villages in the south, in an area where anyone can explore. This can indeed build an area of faith, but people's faith needs to be developed slowly. How can we ensure that a large number of devout believers quickly and steadily? How can we more clearly and clearly declare the great power of His Majesty Void Mask to the people of this world? "
She raised a slender and white finger, manipulated magic, and used frost to draw on the blackboard a picture of a group of people devoutly worshipping the giant jellyfish in the air. Beside them, there were many friendly or treacherous eyes hidden in the fog.
She was very good at drawing, and the style she used was similar to cartoonish, rather than realistic. But each pair of eyes fully expressed the attitude behind it.
"For a God, the first step to show himself in front of the whole world must be done beautifully, so that everyone will be impressed! You know, there are many Gods in this world. If a new God wants to grow smoothly, he or she needs to win over allies, and inevitably, he or she will have to fight against enemies. The more you show yourself, the more powerful allies you can win over, and the more neutral Gods will not be willing to be enemies with you. This will reduce the number of potential enemies. "
"The world of Gods is actually very cruel. Not every God is as easy to talk to as His Majesty Void Mask. And most of the Gods in this world are not gentle and generous. If you don't show your strength, even if the Gods have no conflict with you, they are likely to attack you in order to win over allies or directly to steal divine power."
As Snow explained, there were more and more eyes hidden in the fog, and most of them were full of malice, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Then let them come. I don't like to provoke others, but I am not afraid of fighting." Sui Xiong stared at the painting, and his heart was shocked, but he was not afraid. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
Fighting? Good! I am not afraid of you!
Snow sighed and tried to persuade him, "But this means that when you are officially apotheosized, you have to fight with a large group of Gods at the same time. Even if you are powerful enough to fight with a group of Gods and win, your followers will definitely suffer heavy losses. Are you willing to do that? "
The painting changed, and the giant jellyfish used all kinds of weapons to fight with countless eyes hidden in the fog. The ground under his feet was burning, and many little people were running for their lives. Many of them had already died on the ground. The scene was very miserable.
Looking at this scene, which was not exaggerated at all, Sui Xiong was suddenly speechless.
He had once fought with the old demigod tree in the Shadow Plane, and the damage caused by the fight was comparable to a natural disaster. If they had fought in places like the pioneer villages, not to mention the mortals among his followers, even Gerrard might not have survived.
"In contrast, with a large group of devout followers and a Holy Land that can be called a miracle in the human world, you can completely make those speculators give up the idea of attacking you, and you only have to fight against the few Gods whose Priesthood overlaps or conflicts with yours. In this way, you not only have a greater chance of winning, but also can reduce the loss of followers. "
Her voice was not loud, but when matched with the images of the pairs of eyes gradually becoming friendly on the blackboard, there was a kind of convincing power in it. "In fact, if the gods see that you have such foresight and ability, even the gods who are innately opposed to you will very likely give up on direct conflict with you, so that you can successfully become a god without any resistance!"
Hearing this, Sui Xiong nodded repeatedly, and his eyes fell on the constantly changing picture. Finally, there were only a few Gods hiding in the distance. After a long silence, all his thoughts turned into a long sigh.
"You are right!"
Not knowing why, he could not help but think of Liu Bei's feelings after he talked with Zhuge Liang in Longzhong.
A lone man has Kong Ming, just like a fish has water!
Snow's explanation, together with those vivid "chalk drawings", made him feel suddenly enlightened.
Before, Sui Xiong had always felt that he did not know enough about this world, and he needed an adviser. After listening to this clear and convincing analysis, he couldn't help but have this thought again.
And it had never been so strong.
"I need an adviser!" he said to himself, "And, right in front of me!"
"An adviser who fully understands this world, has enough knowledge and wisdom, and is also a painter. This is very important! After coming to this world, it is the first time that I have met someone who likes painting! "
"If I miss such a talent, I will at least regret it for a thousand years!"
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and said in the most serious tone, "Ms. Snow, what you said really makes sense! I want to invite you to help me, to be my adviser, and to give me advice. Is that okay? "
Snow finally smiled, "If it were not for your words, would I have spent so much time talking to you?"
Sui Xiong was stunned, and could not help laughing.
