List of strange talismans

Chapter 229 On the Rewards for Deeds
Browne's full name is Steward Browne. He was born into a noble family in South Gaston. His ancestor was the founding marquis of the White Star Kingdom. The heirs of the family have also enjoyed the hereditary viscount title of the White Star Kingdom for generations. They are truly upper-class people.

But as the eldest son in the family, he did not participate in the power struggle of the nobles.On the contrary, he is keen on academics and has a wide range of interests. In addition to philosophy, he also holds the title of professor in multiple disciplines such as "Ancient History" and "Ancient Biology".

It is rumored that it was his ancient academic research in the first half of his life that gave him the idea of ​​using philosophy to analyze the social relationship between humans and gods.

This 62-year-old professor trained more than 100 students in his life, most of whom were nobles. After all, in the 17th century, no one who had the money and time to study at university was truly poor.

These people now serve in various important departments of the White Star Kingdom, and there are even two members of the Senate.

As for the members of the Lower Council, there are as many as ten.

With the joint efforts of these people, Matthews' position was saved.

It is precisely because of the relationships between these people that Galanz gained precious development time.Not bound by external factors.

It can be said that Brownie's joining has directly given the Shuntian Sect, a [mud-legged] sect, a political foundation that far exceeds that of ordinary sects. Coupled with the achievement of opening a new diocese, it deserves to be ranked seventh.

As for the person ranked eighth, he was an "acquaintance" of Gu Xiuya.

Finch Davis.

The son of an earl with whom he had quite a dispute came to Galanz shortly after he started fast forwarding for the second time.Perhaps because of the major changes in history, Davis was not possessed by the ember like last time. He came to Galanz not for medical treatment, but to see what the "heaven" the professor said looked like.

Yes, Davis was one of Browne's students, but what he studied was not Browne's special skill [philosophy], but [ancient history].

Like Browne, Davis is an outlier in the family.He has been fond of history since he was a child, especially religious history, and he is even more enthusiastic about it.Before joining the Suncheon Church, he believed in dozens of sects at the same time. What he liked to do most on weekdays was to follow the historical records of the church and discover the treasures hidden in various deserted places.

This was the reason why he suddenly fell ill before.

As a high-end talent who is familiar with the history of various sects and has founded an esoteric religion, Davis has a unique talent for religious management.

It was precisely because of his help that Browne was able to develop South Gaston into the second-generation Suncheon Church in just one year.

In the process, Davis also deviated from his original destiny trajectory and completely fell into the arms of Shuntian.

Today, he is the Patriarch of the [North Gaston] Diocese and the highest-status person among the Suncheon followers.

Ma En told Gu Xiuya that the earl's son even broke with his father in order to join the Shuntian Sect.

His faith cannot be called disloyal.

Gu Xiuya believed these words because he had sensed from Davis a firm belief comparable to that of a fanatic.

He lowered his eyes and spoke slowly: "Finch Davis, tell me. What made you give up on Heavenly Father and choose to believe in Shuntian?"

The overly strong development trend of Shuntian Sect has made Tianfu Sect feel a huge threat.In order to curb the influence of the Suncheon Sect, the Heavenly Father Sect reached a secret agreement with the leaders of the White Star Kingdom in exchange for the support of most of the high-ranking nobles, including the Davis family.

Finch Davis was the only one in the family who believed in Suncheonism, and it was precisely because of this that Earl Davis had to publicly draw a clear line with his son.

At this moment, facing the god's questioning, Davis looked extremely excited.

"My great majesty! My loyalty to Shuntian comes from you!"

He loudly said: "Your kindness, your generosity, and everything you did to Galanz made me understand something."

"You are different from them!"

"They see the world as a pasture, and they treat us as private property. They only care about their beliefs, and for this reason they even want us to endure sufferings that we shouldn't have to endure!"

"But you are different."

"You treat us like humans."

"You are willing to make life better for believers!"

"No matter you are rich or poor, no matter how high or low you are, everyone can equally receive the gifts from Shuntian! This is the biggest difference between you and them!"

"in my opinion."

"Only Suncheon can liberate this country."

"Only Suncheon can liberate these people!"

"I'm willing to fight for the future of this country, just like my grandfather did."

Davis' tone was impassioned, and his whole body could not help but tremble with excitement.A true fighter for civil rights.

Gu Xiuya looked at him calmly.

"You said it very well. I think this should be the reason why most people here join the Suncheon Church, but"

"But it doesn't belong to you."

"I want to hear the truth from you. This is your last chance."

Davis was stunned for a moment.

Brownie also looked at him with scrutiny.

Davis hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, what I said before is what I think now. Of course, I also admit that before this, I chose to join the Shuntian Sect for other reasons."

"what reason?"

"I want to be on the winning side."

Davis lay on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Gu Xiuya on the throne, and said slowly: "I believe that the Shuntian Church will become the final winner. From the first time I saw this magical and powerful Kingdom of God, , I have always believed in it.”

Gu Xiuya's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt a little emotion in his heart.

Believers are a very complex group, and everyone has something to ask for from God.

Some people crave power, some crave longevity, some hope to gain glory and wealth, and some hope to live a healthy life.

This is normal.

Gu Xiuya is not obsessed with the purity of his faith. He does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds, and no one is perfect when it comes to his heart.Desire is the most important factor in maintaining the vitality of the sect. No matter what the starting point of the believers is, as long as they are willing to promote the development of the sect, he is happy to see the results.

He just didn't expect that the real reason why Davis joined the Shuntian Sect was because he believed that the Shuntian Sect could defeat the Heavenly Father Sect.

If an ordinary person said this, Gu Xiuya might just laugh it off.

But Davis was the son of a duke and an expert on religious history.

His status, his vision and knowledge determine his cognitive weight.

What is there to say?

When the smartest people in a country start to abandon something, it proves that this thing is really about to be eliminated.

Heavenly Father's religion is something that is about to be eliminated.

Davis is that smart guy.

Brownie, and his students, are also smart people.

There may be many reasons that drive so many smart people to unanimously choose to join the Suncheon Sect. The advanced nature of the system, the cohesion of beliefs, and even the almost miraculous speed of industrial development, etc., may all be reasons.

But in essence, they are not much different from Davis.

They all believe that Suncheon Church will become the winner.

Only if you believe will you stand in line.

Gu Xiuya knew that the time had come.

History has taken a completely new path according to his wishes.

His former enemies became his devout followers and now prostrate themselves at his feet.

The congressmen who had made considerable contributions to the Heavenly Father Church's occupation of the White Star Kingdom also chose to side with Suncheon.

Now, the time of heaven has come, and humanity has begun to appear, everything is just waiting for his order.

Hope that's enough time.

Gu Xiuya withdrew his gaze.He raised his hand and brushed it in front of him, and in an instant, dozens of objects emitting a hazy glow of consciousness slowly emerged.

"There are 29 memorial artifacts here, all of which have different uses. You can choose based on your contribution."

Gu Xiuya's voice echoed in the hall, and hundreds of believers raised their heads and looked under the throne with envy in their eyes.

By accommodating the sacred objects that are kept in mind, one can reach heaven and become a saint in one step. From then on, he can escape from the mundane world and enjoy infinite power.

There is no one who does not desire such a thing.

Matthews and the ten people with the highest contribution all had their faces flushed and their breathing quickened.

Gu Xiuya's eyes glanced at Sachette, who was standing in front of the team. This young boy who was originally young had now changed drastically.

His arms were a little red due to long-term exposure to corrosive substances, and a few white hairs could be seen on the temples combed back. He wore the institute's status medal on his chest. The golden medal sparkled in the sun. The word "Chief" is not only a symbol of status, but also represents the glory he has earned through hard work.

"Sachet."

"I'm here, Your Majesty."

"You choose first."

Hearing this, Sachette said, "Your Majesty, do I have to accommodate the sacred objects in my memory?"

Gu Xiuya's eyes moved slightly: "You want to give it to someone else? Who?"

Sachette hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to give this gift to Elena."

As soon as these words came out, Ma En, who was standing aside, was obviously stunned for a moment.

Matthews and others also looked surprised.

Chekov was the only one who laughed at this.

"Sachet, you finally figured it out!"

"To shut up."

Sachet glared at Chekov, and then said to Gu Xiuya: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to Chekov's nonsense. I have no feelings for Yelena between men and women."

"The reason why I want to give this gift to her is because I have witnessed her hard work and her persistence."

"I am very fortunate to be on a path where hard work will pay off. This is my luck. You have pointed out everything for the industry. I only need to follow your footsteps and I am destined to succeed."

"But Yelena is different."

"She is a true pioneer. She is walking on a dark road. There are no ancients before and no newcomers after. She can't rely on anyone but herself."

"For more than a year, she has never given up her efforts. She has been fighting for the birth of magic. Her efforts should not be buried. We cannot deny her achievements just because the research has not yet produced results."

"She should be rewarded."

When Sachette said this, he bowed slightly towards Gu Xiuya: "Great Shuntian, I know that my request is a bit excessive, but I still hope that you can allow my request."

Gu Xiuya's eyes dropped: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"What if I told you that you only have this one chance to get the reward?"

Sachette was slightly startled when he heard this.

But soon, he said: "I"

Gu Xiuya raised his hand slightly to stop Sachette's words.

At the same time, a sacred object shaped like a sapling flew in front of Sachette.

"This is the [bud of enlightenment], which can stimulate your intelligence, improve your thinking and logical reasoning abilities. And give you energy far beyond ordinary people."

"It will help you better serve the industry throughout your life."

"This is your reward."

"As for Yelena"

Gu Xiuya looked far away and saw the girl standing in the crowd.

He nodded slightly and motioned for the girl to come forward.

Yelena was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head and came to the front of everyone.

Gu Xiuya said calmly: "Shuntian will not forget anyone, but he will not favor anyone either."

"Yelena, I can see your efforts, but this does not become the reason for your failure."

"Therefore, this gift is not for you. Do you accept it?"

Yelena originally thought that she had failed to live up to the expectations of the gods. When she heard this, she had no grudge in her heart. Instead, she felt ashamed. She immediately bowed her head and said, "I accept it."

"very good."

Gu Xiuya stretched out his hand, and in an instant, a stream of light flew out of his palm and landed in front of Yelina.

It was a blue long sword, with water ripples on it, dazzling and sacred.

"Take it with you and continue your research."

Yelena was obviously stunned: "Your Majesty, I."

"It's not a reward."

Gu Xiuya said lightly.

Immediately afterwards, Hepheus's voice sounded.

"This is your protective weapon. Yelena."

"Soon after, [Goddess of Source Water], together with the two holy spirits [God of Storm] and [God of Forest], will join the Shuntian Sect and become the protector of the sect."

"In the future, more Holy Spirits will join us, and the God of Shuntian will open up a whole new pantheon for this purpose. But the God of Shuntian does not want to see the sect being affected by them."

"Your mission is to use the power of magic to restrain their believers."

"Until then, the Sword of Suncheon will protect you from harm."

"It is the only one among the thirty divine objects that can directly call upon the power of the God of Shuntian. I think you should understand its meaning."

Yelena's eyes were trembling.

She reached out and grabbed the sword, enduring the violent shock to her consciousness without letting go of her fingers.

She slowly lowered her head, saluted Gu Xiuya solemnly, and said word by word: "I will no longer meet your expectations."

Gu Xiuya didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

He looked around the hall and found that no one present was dissatisfied. This was partly because Sachet had already told Yelena's contribution in advance and endorsed Yelena with his own status.

On the other hand, it is also because everyone present knows one truth - even if the Sword of Shuntian is taken back and redistributed according to contribution, it will not be their turn.

There is no need to disobey God because of something that does not belong to you.

Everyone's attention didn't even focus on Yelena. Everyone was more excited about the news revealed by the God of Heaven.

——The Shuntian Sect is about to welcome three guardian gods, and there may be more in the future.

You know, it's not as strong as the Heavenly Father's religion, but it only has the care of three Holy Spirits.And there is still a Trinity of Gods, which can only be considered one in essence.

And now, the Suncheon Sect is about to completely surpass the Heavenly Father Sect in terms of the number of gods.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through many people's minds.

——Even if there is a difference in individual strength, if five of them fight one, how can they be...invincible, right?
