"Indeed, I know exactly what martial arts and magic are."
"But divine magic is a bit subtle. What the hell is it that it only works on people with faith? Is it a placebo?"
Xiao Feng said thoughtfully.
In addition to the branches of the three major guilds, there are several different temples in Panshi City, and Xiao Feng decided to investigate them carefully.
The God of War, the God of Order and the Goddess of Earth, there are churches of these three gods in most cities.
Of course, the full names of these gods are very long, and most people will only call them by their most important priesthood, or simply name them.
"Thar, the god of storms and war, whose followers face every battle with joy rather than fear."
"Because only those who die in battle will be led to His Kingdom of God."
"Sounds like a god that only barbarians would believe in."
Xiao Feng came outside Tal's temple, looked at the instructions on the stone tablet, and couldn't help but complain.
The branch of the Warriors Guild is not far from here, which seems to confirm that the relationship between the two parties is very close.
However, the members of the Warrior Guild are basically mercenaries.
The soldiers and knights under the lords believe in Aros, the god of order and power.
By the way, Aros is also the god of the sun and music, and the patron saint of the nobility.
This is reminiscent of Apollo from Blue Star, and Tal is also very similar to Thor.
This also seems to indicate from the side that there is some kind of relationship between Purple Star and Blue Star.
Just as he was looking at the inscription thoughtfully, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind.
"Little brother, are you also here to ask for God Taal's blessing?"
The speaker was a tall, middle-aged man with a rough voice.
He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand and looked drunk.
Xiao Feng's expression remained unchanged and he said, "That's right. Are you going to the battlefield?"
"It's just that if I want to go to the battlefield, I won't go all the way. I want to duel with a guy."
The middle-aged man replied.
"A duel? In fact, I also had a duel with someone else not long ago."
"But the other party used despicable means, which caused me to be trapped somewhere for a while. Fortunately, I met someone passing by."
"Haha, it seems that you are very pious to God Taal. This is a sign of God Taal's blessing on you."
"Maybe." Xiao Feng shrugged.
"By the way, why did you duel with others?"
Xiao Feng pondered for a while and said, "Fiancée."
At least on the surface that's why.
"What a coincidence, I am also because of women."
"Sure enough, apart from reputation, the only thing that can allow two grown men to duel is a woman." The middle-aged man sighed.
"You also have a fiancée?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.
"Not a fiancée, but a believer of the goddess Hene." The other party said with a wink.
"Is it?"
"You can tell by the look on your face that you don't understand what I'm talking about, right?"
"Uh, this..."
If Xiao Feng knew that Henie was the so-called goddess of pleasure, he would have guessed it, but unfortunately he didn't know.
"Then let me tell you straight, the other party is a prostitute who is familiar with me."
"But when I went to find her yesterday, she was actually receiving another customer..." the middle-aged man said a little unhappy.
"Just for this?" Xiao Feng was a little stunned.
"Of course it's not just because of this. That guy had a problem with me. This time it's all old and new grudges."
"That's it."
At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly hugged him and said carelessly.
"It's rare to meet a lucky person who survives a duel. I will take advantage of you and ask God Taal to give me the same blessing."
Xiao Feng did not break free and allowed the other party to pull him into the temple while saying calmly.
"If you both ask for protection from Taal, who will Taal protect?"
"Haha, of course it all depends on strength. The loser goes to see Tal, and the one who survives is qualified to hold a woman. It's that simple."
When I came to the temple, I found that there was no one there, only the brazier in front of the statue was burning.
The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously. He took out a handful of red fruits that looked like sour berries from his pocket and threw them into the brazier.
The next second, a crackling sound immediately sounded, and he himself closed his eyes and muttered something.
After the other party finished reading, Xiao Feng said: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you for your surname."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and then said: "If you are so polite, you must not be a believer of God Taal."
"You are biased...although I am not." Xiao Feng shrugged.
"Haha, my name is Vincent, what's yours?"
"Xiao Feng."
"Weird name." Vincent complained as usual, and then had an idea.
"By the way, if possible, can you come and witness the duel between me and that man?"
"This... is not impossible. What about the time and place?"
"The time is tomorrow morning, and the location is in the cemetery in the east of the city. Isn't it suitable for a duel?"
“Do you mean you’ll just bury it if you lose?”
"That's right, although as a rule, the winner collects the body of the loser."
"But if I lose tomorrow, I'll be in trouble for you. I don't want to be favored by that guy."
"I see."
Vincent patted Xiao Feng's shoulder and left.
Xiao Feng looked around and after making sure there was nothing special, he left the temple.
Although I got to know Vincent, my understanding of gods has not deepened. It can only be said that I have learned nothing.
Soon, he came to the temple of the earth goddess Tia.
Compared with the slightly shabby Tal Temple, Tia Temple is much more grand and crowded.
There is an endless stream of believers coming and going to worship, and most of them are farmers from nearby villages and towns.
Xiao Feng felt that what he said in the past was a bit conspicuous, so he just watched from a distance.
Anyway, there was a group of people outside the temple, and a priest was preaching.
There was a pottery pot filled with soil placed in front of the pastor. He took out a seed from his pocket and buried it in it, and then began to pray.
Then the seeds in the pot sprouted new shoots.
Not only that, the new shoots grew rapidly and soon turned into a mature plant full of wheat grains.
"Did you see it? This is the power of goddess Tia."
“As long as you believe in Him, your crops will grow so healthily,” the pastor said.
Hearing his words, the surrounding believers were very excited and bowed down in surrender.
But Xiao Feng frowned slightly, because in his spiritual perception, the other party did use a spell.
But the power does not come from illusory gods, but from the priest himself.
In other words, this is no different from the spells used by monks or wizards.
"What's going on? Is divine magic just another name for magic?"
"Then why didn't the magic of that guy named Owen work on me?"
