When Tang Yan returned to the Temple of the Hot Pot God in Baldur's Gate, Grand Duke Erd Rivengarde was already waiting with the Flame Fist Corps.
Baldur's Gate does not have a city lord, but is ruled by a council of four. In the Assembly, the dukes voted against each other to resolve the city's legal and policy issues. A Grand Duke, chosen from among the four Dukes, has the power to pass resolutions when Parliament reaches a deadlock.
There's such a big thing happening in Baldur's Gate now, and someone is taking action against the ocean goddess Umberlee, and it seems she's taking advantage! How could this news make Grand Duke Erd Rivengard sit still? He was thinking about all these gains and losses.
Then, he saw Tang Yan's mushroom cloud in the distance.
Is he worthy of comparing gains and losses with such a being?
"Good day, respected strong man!" Grand Duke Erd Rivengard saw a person flying from the sky and arrived in front of the temple in the blink of an eye. He immediately greeted him.
White hair, red eyes, full of dominance!
"Oh? Who are you?" Tang Yan asked, looking at the nobleman covered in silk.
"I am Erd Rivengarde. Thanks to your favor, I am now one of the four-person council of Baldur's Gate." Grand Duke Erd Rivengarde introduced himself very humbly.
It's hard for ordinary people not to be humble after witnessing the power of Tang Yan's punch.
"Oh, nice to meet you!" Tang Yan said casually to the local snake: "What's the matter?"
"It's like this. I have been busy with official duties recently and have really not worshiped the God of Hot Pot. Today I came here to listen to the teachings of the God of Hot Pot. I also see that the Temple of the God of Hot Pot is close to the people and simple, and I am willing to offer some land deeds to help the God of Hot Pot spread his prestige. ." Grand Duke Erd Rivengard took out several land deeds from his arms.
As the Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, he naturally has a lot of land deeds in his hands, and he took out a few of them as stepping stones.
What he wants is stability in Baldur's Gate.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Tang Yan calmly took it away, and then said: "In that case, let's go in and talk."
After seeing the Grand Duke Erd Rivengarde enter the temple of the God of Hot Pot, other powerful nobles and priests from Baldur's Gate couldn't help themselves and came to the temple of the God of Hot Pot.
Everyone was not talking to Tang Yan, but to Wang Jinjue.
After all, Wang Jinjue is the real hotpot god.
As for Tang Yan, of course he is the one who cooks hot pot ingredients in the kitchen. No one else knows how to do this except him.
Wang Jinjue was a little nervous when he saw this group of people. This one is the Grand Duke, that one is the priest of Gond, the god of craftsmen, and there are Lathander, Tymora and so on. He looks dizzy.
Before he came to the main god space, he was just a high school student. Later, he thought about what he would be like in the Ming Dynasty. This so-called Duke is not a county magistrate, or even worse than a county magistrate. The so-called god of craftsmen, Gond, is similar to the abbot of the temple.
Such a good deal, he also helped the Ministry of Works to coordinate materials and other things in the Ming Dynasty. Rounding it off, he was considered a fifth- and sixth-grade official. What’s more, he is also the real god of hotpot.
So, he calmed down, put on airs, and started talking to these people in an official tone.
This group of dignitaries originally saw Wang Jinjue's somewhat reserved look, and they were still laughing at where this country bumpkin got lucky and ended up on Tang Yan's list. As a result, Wang Jinjue suddenly became more sophisticated and started talking to them in an official tone.
"...Zhu just hopes that people will feel happy and live a positive life after eating hot pot."
"I don't care about Baldur's Gate. But I care more about the stability of Baldur's Gate. A stable Baldur's Gate is in everyone's interest. For this reason, I would like to make three simple points regarding the stability of Baldur's Gate."
"The first point is divided into six smaller points."
"The first small point is to conscientiously implement Pastor Tang's crackdown on the criminal cult in Amberley. This cult that endangers the stability of the Sword Coast, endangers the safety of merchant ships, and threatens the life safety of sailors must be banned! It must..."
"The second little point, the God of Hot Pot is a peace-loving god, although Zui doesn't care. Zui can only say..."
"The third little point..."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Wang Jinjue talked non-stop for several hours. His clever choice of words and proficiency in Mandarin made a group of people feel dizzy. They had never seen such a deep official tone before. They felt they had heard it, but they seemed not to hear it.
Like listening.
After they finished their hot pot and walked out of the temple of the God of Hot Pot, they found that it was getting dark.
What the hell, this whole day ended with just listening to people talking nonsense and having a meal.
I just want to say that these people are so rubbish. I have never seen them even work five days a week and hold meetings five days a week. They are so low.
Let’s not discuss what kind of undercurrent these people will stir up after they return. After finishing these tasks, Wang Jinjue discovered that the number of believers in his "Believers' Star Map" had skyrocketed, from dozens to two to three hundred. Some stars that were originally erratic also became brighter.
Miracles have always been a good way to call believers. The powerful and extraordinary power is also a miracle!
Wang Jinjue had a clear understanding in his heart. The teachings of the Hot Pot God are:
[An invisible and imperceptible "steaming spicy hotpot monster" created the entire universe "after a severe binge of alcoholism". Every seven days, we have to pray to the great Lord here, eat a holy meal (hot pot), and enjoy the happiness brought by hot pot.
When encountering difficulties, you should use your own wisdom to solve them and face life positively. You know, Boil doesn't care about little things like this. 】
Originally, it was difficult for people in Faerûn to understand this teaching. Among other sects, the doctrines must be strictly observed, and some cults are even challenged by priests and gods. A teaching as crude as the God of Hotpot is still very outrageous.
Because you have no faith, you will be hung on the wall of the unbelievers after death. Atheism-like teachings like the God of Hot Pot are really hard to accept. Therefore, although there are believers, the increase is very slow.
There are dozens of congregants, and the hot pot is really delicious!
Tang Yan and the others were not in a hurry, after all, this was their first time doing missionary work. It’s normal to encounter problems while you’re feeling your way forward. If it doesn't work, open more branches, including Tonglu hot pot, Chaoshan hot pot, sour soup hot pot, snail noodle hot pot and so on.
Is this going to confuse the bunch of bumpkins from Faerûn?
Then believers can't make a fuss about the increase?
But Tang Yan showed off his power today and beat up the ocean goddess Amberli, spreading the majesty of the hotpot god and gaining many followers.
People admire the strong.
As for why the God of Hot Pot is so powerful, it's very simple. As a chef, it’s normal for the God of Hot Pot to know martial arts, right?
The increase in believers also made Wang Jinjue discover the difference among believers.
To put it simply, they are divided into "fanatic believers", "devout believers", "pan-believers" and "true believers".
In fact, many places have hot pot-like meals, which are delicious. I also ate stinky tofu hotpot in Yunnan.
