Hircine wants an oracle, of course believers like Ella don't care - after all, Norn is so big and there are so many demons - as long as those who take adventure as a profession, they can always see a few when walking by the river. The devil who jumps out to grab attention has long been accustomed to strange things. Besides, the main reason why Ella believes in Hircine is because of her bloodline and her identification with Hircine's path. That is to say, she considers herself to be the enforcer of the rules represented by Hircine, and has nothing to do with the demon god Hircine himself.
It's like although we admire a society governed by the rule of law, most people don't pay much attention to the courts, police and other organizations that maintain the rule of law system.
But for ordinary believers, it's different. Receiving an oracle is a big deal! Even if this "oracle" comes from Hircine...
You know they're like the working class, they pay the most taxes but get the least feedback. Ordinary believers provide the most faith, but most people have never seen such a strange sight as the light of a god in their entire life! Because God does not pay attention to them. God pays attention to those children of destiny who came into being, the powerful people who determine the destiny of the country, the giant businessmen who control the wealth, the mortals who become or have the potential to become legends... Ordinary people, their faith is not wrong, but what do they pray for? completely turned a deaf ear.
Therefore, for the first time in history, the scope of oracles such as Hircine's spread includes casual believers, even those who have never called his name, but only behave in line with his ways! It's not that Lu Yuanyuan didn't want to live broadcast it all over the world. In fact, sending an oracle to non-believers consumes hundreds of times the power of believers. To put it simply, he couldn't afford it.
It is necessary to know that every qualified god must first be a qualified businessman.
Only by collecting faith can one have more divine power, and in order to expand faith, gods must often consume divine power to create miracles - this is like a business simulation game. Only by playing well can you enter a virtuous cycle. The basic principle is to collect the beliefs of a thousand people, and then choose the person with the greatest influence and relatively small consumption to realize his wish! In numerical terms, if the divine power transformed by "Thousands of People's Faith" exceeds the consumption of "One Person's Wish Fulfillment", the business will be profitable.
The "full range broadcast" thing that Lu Yuan is doing now is a large-scale investment under the premise of unclear income expectations. This is a very stupid behavior in the eyes of the gods... Therefore, the demon gods in the scroll world have started to He used a small bench to watch as a crowd...waiting to see Hircine make a big joke! Of course, he is also waiting for Hircine to announce his answer on how to adjust the priesthood. Today, when all the priesthoods have been assigned and the sixteen demon gods have formed a perfect ring, Hircine wants to adjust the priesthood, which means that he wants to usurp other people's cakes... Things today are destined to be bad!
"...Dear believers, I have felt your enthusiasm! I know what you are looking forward to, and I have prepared for the new priesthood. Well, let us announce the answer now! First," in the spirit, it seemed that he could Seeing the high-spirited Hircine step on the chair, point one finger straight ahead, and say sonorously, "From today on, those who believe in me will have food and clothing!"
"ha?!"
In the sky and on the earth, inside and outside the universe, all the humans and gods who were listening to Hircine's announcement seemed to gasp in unison! They were really shocked by Hircine's declaration!
Even Zenitha, the God of Labor and Commerce, and Mara, the Mother Goddess and God of Love (these two are not demons but Holy Spirits), who had theoretically been invaded by Hircine's announcement, could not say a word. …Because this sentence is really terrible to God!
The followers of Hircine fell to their knees and prostrated themselves on the ground, with tears pouring out like springs.
"Ha~hahaha~" In the annihilation of deathly silence, the corrupt lady Namira suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, and her laughter spread throughout the sky. "I know, it turns out Hircine is crazy!"
Yes, the demon gods nodded with fear. Yes, Hircine must be crazy... The Holy Spirits are still as silent as before, and they probably agree in their hearts. Only Akatosh, the God of Time, bit his lower lip and thought hard about where Lu Yuan's move was pointing his sword - only Alona knew best how powerful Lu Yuan was, and he could not do unnecessary things.
Why is this "promise" so scary (ahem, forgive me for using this word here)?
Because the word "food and clothing" is too accurate and too specific! It simply does not meet the requirements of the "Oracle Terminology Specification" defined in Oracle's "ISO9ooo Certification Standards"! What are God’s rules for terminology? To put it simply, the words must be vague and lofty, making it sound infinitely beautiful to believers, but they cannot be seen or touched, and they themselves do not believe it can be achieved - for example, "72 virgins after death (not 998 menstruation)" What.
Who knows what happens after death? Maybe the ones given were indeed 72 virgins, but maybe you happened to have lost the ability to be a man... Otherwise, why would these 72 always remain virgins? This is not Kexue, right? I guess the next step is to get a massage condom, and then do whatever you need to do, Dabaojian doesn't even think about it.
Throughout the ages, the greatest promise God has given is – “Whoever believes in me will have eternal life.”
Doesn’t it sound lofty? Isn’t it endlessly desirable? Does listening to it make you feel like you will die without regrets?
But what is eternal life? Perhaps it is the "eternal life" in which the soul enters the Kingdom of God after death, or it may be the "eternal life" in which "some people die, but they still live in our hearts"... In short, there are various specific explanations. But no one believes that the eternal life God talks about is to give you unlimited lifespan, allowing you to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world... Moreover, no matter what world, those who long for eternal life are always those at the top of the pyramid. Most people still have to keep their heads down and make their own firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and have no time to dream.
But "food and clothing" is different. Before the industrial era increased agricultural output, "food and clothing" was the world's biggest luxury!
An ordinary person may not care whether he lives to be 70 years old or 100 years old, but he definitely cares about whether he can eat tomorrow! How many hungry civilians are there in the world, and how many fat nobles are there? It can be said that Hircine's ambition offended all the nobles, but it directly poked into the hearts of countless civilians! Even Ella, who had no worries about food and clothing, sighed when she thought of the countless human tragedies she had seen, and willingly knelt down in front of Hircine——
Regardless of whether what Hircine said is true or false, even if there is only a one percent chance, that's great! If you can do it, I am willing to be your most loyal believer for the rest of my life!
At this moment, if you look down from an angle outside the planet, you will see that from the Throat of the World to the Red Mountain, from the Vicious Forest to the Lily Valley, countless people are lying on the ground, praying wholeheartedly towards Hircine. They long for their dreams to come true, but fear that they are just a joke.
The demon gods looked at all this with a sneer and chose to sit back and watch. If Hircine can really realize his ambition, he will of course become the undisputed true master god of this world - not even Akatosh, the dragon of time, can stop him! Because this ambition is too powerful! But the prerequisite for this is that he really has that much magical power to create food! Does Hircine have it? Obviously he didn't, because even if all the demon gods and the Holy Spirit's power were added together, it wouldn't be enough!
Therefore, Hircine is just scamming people... Unfortunately, this scam is only valid for one day at most. All believers will try to ask Hircine for "food and clothing" at least for one day. If Hircine can't do it, then how much the believers will be grateful to him today, and how much the believers will hate him tomorrow! This scam cannot even be considered a "Ponzi scheme" because the base of hungry people is too large and they will continue to ask for it day after day...
It would be even better if Hircine sold the pot and made it! That means that Hircine will go to a dead end on her own without anyone taking action.
You are asking for your own death...Now that the demon gods are sure to win no matter what they do, even if the dragon rider is embarrassed, how can they lose this round? !
Their jeers resounded throughout the world without concealment. Not only the demon gods and holy spirits living in the Annihilation World, but also all the powerful people in the main world can hear the laughter of the demon gods.
Of course Hircine could hear it, but he neither explained nor argued, but simply announced the ritual standards together:
——————————
Being given food and clothing (zero-ring magic):
Users: Light believers and above, including light believers. (Regardless of gender and species)
Sacrifice items: wild flowers, weeds, trees, useless parts of animal bodies... and other animals and plants. (Weight not less than five pounds)
Contents of the ceremony: Pray devoutly for half an hour (if you dare to cheat at this stage, believe it or not, I will slap you!)
Gift: two pounds of bread and a glass of water.
“The more devout the prayers, the sweeter the food y Hircine”
