Heroes of the City Edition

On the streets and alleys, parades from nearby shrines keep appearing, some boasting how effective they are enshrining the fox fairy, some boasting that the Buddha enshrined in their homes is infinitely merciful, and even some shrines directly enshrine comic characters. There are still many believers. .

This is indeed a picture of sentient beings.

In any case, after a lot of hard publicity, the Sea God Church where Li Dawan was located finally had dozens of believers and hundreds of underage believers.

Not to mention that thanks to the efforts of the pastors, the number of believers in the sea god churches in Riwan has continued to increase.

Cheng Kong could also feel the increasing number of believers.

At this time, Cheng Kong was sitting on the sea of ​​the palace, surrounded by waves rising and falling, and small hurricanes hit the sea surface, causing huge waves and lightning flashes. for in-depth analysis.

Probably barely enough, Cheng Kong counted the number of faith connections connected to himself, from the initial 200 to as many as [-], although these newly added faith connections are as thin as a hair, a It looked like it might break at any time, but the power of faith provided to Cheng Kong every day was not too little.

It was enough for Cheng Kong to analyze the rules twice a day.

Cheng Kong slowly opened his eyes when the waves calmed down and the hurricane, dark clouds and thunder dissipated. At this time, a flash of lightning flashed in Cheng Kong's eyes from time to time, or a wave rolled up. After a long time, the strangeness in Cheng Kong's eyes gradually eased recede.

Cheng Kong got up at this moment, and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the gate of the palace.

After getting outside the palace, the streamer passed through the channel of the air mask and fell on the nearby sea surface. Cheng Kong stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the sea surface, and then a golden light spread out, forming a huge light mirror on the sea surface.

But the scene shown in the light mirror is the seabed thousands of meters deep.

Unlike the underwater scene that most people imagine, the underwater scene shown on the optical mirror is a faint red.

The low circular hot spring vents are densely packed on the bottom of the sea, and countless sea creatures multiply on this seabed hotbed.

Here is the warmth brought by the hot springs, and the seabed organisms survive with the sulfur emitted by the hot springs instead of oxygen, making small biospheres formed near the hot springs.

Under Cheng Kong's gaze, a cloud of yellow mist suddenly emerged from a circular hot spring spout. As the yellow mist spread, a mass of black-gray substance with a hint of red appeared at the hot spring spout, causing The sea water above it began to roll and form bubbles.

Obviously, the black-gray mass is magma. After the magma is cooled by water, it solidifies into black-gray volcanic rock, and the red color on it is due to the increasing pressure below, which pushes the magma out of the hot spring mouth and has not yet condensed. That's all.

Soon, more and more magma gushed out from the hot spring vent, and a series of densely packed bubbles floated up towards the sea surface.

In a few minutes, the bottom of the sea was like boiling water, and magma kept gushing out. Finally, the crust around the hot spring could not bear the huge force brought by the magma, and cracks appeared.

After brewing for more than ten minutes, a stream of magma spurted out, and it condensed in the sea water in an instant, forming a towering stone pillar.

But as the magma continued to erupt, the stone pillar was broken and collapsed, and another stone pillar stood up.

The sea floor also began to rise, but this was only the prelude to the volcanic eruption.

Finally, the earth's crust broke open, and countless magma surged out, continuously piled up on the seabed, and quickly spread towards the sea surface.

When it was 400 meters away from the sea surface, the erupting volcano was weak, and the icy sea water continued to take away the heat of the magma, causing it to solidify rapidly. At this point, a submerged reef that was still steaming hot was formed below the sea surface.

At this moment, the golden light mirror immediately shattered and dissipated on the sea surface, while Cheng Kong's face turned pale for a while before returning to rosy, but his brows frowned.

Compared with the other gods, this earth god is the weakest part of Cheng Kong's own gods. Cheng Kong has spent all the power he has accumulated these days, and he can only survive under the weak crust of the seabed. A small volcanic reef was induced everywhere.

If it is in a place where the crust of the seabed is thick, I am afraid that at most the magma can only flow out a little, just like squeezing toothpaste.

Such a result was not what Cheng Kong wanted, but Cheng Kong could only accept it helplessly.

After returning to Achilles Island, Cheng Kong happened to meet the completion of the second crash course in Japanese and the start of the third crash course in Japanese.

However, as far as the personnel composition is concerned, there are differences between the second session and the third session.

[-]% of the students in the second Japanese crash course were born as big liars, and the third Japanese crash course was the newcomers selected by James Butler through the offices of Achilles Security Company in various countries.

These new pastors from all over the world are attracted by the high salary.

Compared with the economies of the countries that are currently in recession, the salary offered by Achilles Island is enough to make these young people who have just graduated from college impulsive.

Well, this approach is also to prevent the pastors in the Sea God Church from having a single tendency. Although in this way, the pursuit of those pastors becomes money, but for Cheng Kong, as long as the number of believers can be developed, the pastor It doesn't matter whether you are religious to yourself or not.

What's more, Cheng Kong is confident enough that once he ignites the magic fire, this situation will change.

Cheng Kong didn't go to meet the newly graduated pastors. After all, it was necessary for Cheng Kong to keep a proper mystery.

If it is too familiar, then the awe will be lost, and faith will not be born.

Next, Cheng Kong just called Butler James over and asked him a few questions.

These new priests are also going to be sent to the Rimaru country.

Now in Yumaru country, the Sea God Church has opened 190 churches, and the remaining [-] churches have not been used, but the buildings on them have been rebuilt, and they can be opened as soon as the pastor arrives.

"It's been two months since Li Dawan and others went to Yuewan. Let me give you a list. The pastors on the list can be promoted to be the presiding pastors of the new church."

Cheng Kong didn't use Butler James to say how many believers were preached in that church, as long as Cheng Kong had a slight thought, he would be able to know.

Cheng Kong closed his eyes, and a trace of divine power spread out along the line of belief. After a while, the information Cheng Kong needed was fed back.

Which pastor worked hard, which pastor was lazy, which pastor was pious, and which pastor even escaped, all appeared in Cheng Kong's mind.

For Cheng Kong, as long as the other party has prayed to him, even if the connection of faith is broken, he can find the other party's whereabouts within a period of time.

Of course, if the time dragged on for too long, more than three or four months, Cheng Kong would be helpless.

After all, Cheng Kong didn't even ignite the divine fire now, so whether it was the transformation of the power of faith or the use of divine power, it seemed quite difficult.

Just for a while, Cheng Kong's face became a little pale, and the divine power accumulated in the past few hours was exhausted.

However, after such a search, Cheng Kong sorted out a list, grabbed a piece of white paper, and shook it lightly, and dense words appeared on it, all of which were the names of the priests who were going to the Rimaru country. Of course, At the end, there are several red names with crosses.

These red names are the priests who defected from the Sea God Church without permission, and even three of them turned the Sea God Church they were in charge of into a place where all kinds of filth were hidden, and used the water and fire ring passed down by Cheng Kong to commit crimes. , recruited a group of gangsters, and extorted the surrounding residents. It can be said that they did all kinds of evil.

Not to mention Xiao Er Wen Zhi Ye Cry, at least he is at the same level as Jingjiehu. How could Cheng Kong let people who corrupted the Sea God Church like this one go.

If it wasn't for Cheng Kong's unwillingness to waste his divine power, he would really have the idea of ​​slowly torturing them after pulling out their souls.

Butler James took the list, saw that Cheng Kong's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't dare to say much, so he backed away and turned to leave.

People are angry, blood spatters three feet, emperors are angry, blood flows into rivers, gods are angry, mountains fall and ground cracks.

To be honest, after this incident happened, Cheng Kong was quite angry, but it was not to the extent that the land would collapse.

But in this case, the fate of those pastors will be difficult to say.

Saimaru Osaka, Lutian Town, is located in the Poseidon Church in Dongyi District. Strong heavy metal music is constantly roaring, and various noises are constantly coming from inside.

The three priests who were stationed in this Sea God Church were hugging several young women, drinking red wine, and stroking the women in their arms with both hands.

The originally solemn and sacred prayer hall of the church has been turned into a bar, where young and Dangerous boys wearing all kinds of strange costumes, earrings hanging from their noses and ears, bosozoku, etc. are having fun in this bar.

And the place where the statue of Cheng Kong was erected has been turned into a bar, and a bartender is performing his bartending skills on several young girls, constantly attracting applause.

As for the dark corner of the church, there was a group of guys who were almost drunk with their arms around the woman and groped up and down for a while, and finally shot straight up, and the live broadcast started.

It can be said that the entire Sea God Church has turned into a big Yin den, the atmosphere is extremely foul, and there are many unsightly things.

But these guys didn't notice that the door of the Sea God Church was quietly opened, and a hot breath spread in immediately.

Looking at the scene in the church with a pair of fiery eyes, he couldn't help becoming angry.

This time, the one sent by Butler James to deal with the defecting priest was a hero that Cheng Kong had personally led.

Li Feijun!

This person was originally the owner of a game studio. After he didn't know how to enter the hero world, Cheng Kong found time to take them with him when they were in the Devil's Fang City, so that they had a place in the hero world.

The current Li Feijun is no longer the little fire-thrower back then.

Although its evolution direction is not very good, but now it has evolved into a violent fire demon.

The violent fire demon, a fifth-level unit and a long-range unit, can throw hundreds of powerful fireballs in an instant, attacking enemies within a kilometer.

Although the violent fire demon is weak in close combat, but with this violent fireball alone, after opening the distance, it is no problem to kill the fifth-level evolutionary units and seriously injure the sixth-level units.

After possessing such strength, Li Feijun is extremely loyal to Cheng Kong, and is now one of Cheng Kong's believers. Although his belief is not pious, it is much more pious than other heroes.

So after receiving the order from James' housekeeper, Li Feijun set off overnight and rushed to Riwan.

Finding this church according to the address, and pushing open the door, Li Feijun was almost out of breath.

Although he was not religious, he was extremely loyal to Cheng Kong, so after seeing this scene, Li Feijun couldn't control his emotions, and a burning smell came from his body immediately.

In a blink of an eye, the white suit on Li Feijun's body turned scorched yellow and burned in no time. Li Feijun's body was immediately raised, and his muscles became stronger as if blowing air.

"Go to hell, Blasphemer!"

With a roar like a beast, Li Feijun's right hand, which had turned into a sharp claw, waved towards the church.

Huhuhu, more than a dozen fireballs the size of human heads emerged in the air, and then flew towards all parts of the church.

This sudden scene caused chaos in the church, and the drunken people woke up, and they screamed piercingly and wanted to escape.

But at this time, it was too late. The fireball thrown by Li Feijun was by no means comparable to that of the fire monster. When it flew close, it exploded on its own, forming a ball of flames and spreading in all directions. Turned into a sea of ​​fire.

But there is a strange thing about this sea of ​​fire, that is, even if it falls on the paper, it will not be ignited, as if it does not exist in this world, but those who are having fun are emitting soaring flames.

After a few seconds, the flames gradually went out, but the crowd in the church gradually dissipated into the air like dry ice as the flames went out.

By the time Li Feijun turned to leave, the entire church had taken on a new look, and there was no one left. It only needed a little rest before it could reopen.

With Li Feijun's action, those priests who defected were found out and burned into nothingness one by one. In less than three days, Li Feijun's task was completed.

Compared with these defected pastors, Li Dawan and other pastors who are serious about preaching are extremely happy.

After only two months of preaching, Li Dawan was officially promoted to be the presiding pastor of his church. There is also news that after all the 270 churches in Yuemaru have opened, they will be selected from among the current presiding pastors in various places. Three pastors were appointed to manage the entire Diocese of Yuemaru.

Of course, there are not only three pastors in the entire Diocese of Yumaru, but the three pastors selected first will surely be promoted more smoothly in the future.

When Li Dawan was studying Japanese in a crash course, he actually studied and understood the organizational structure of the Sea God Church in detail.

He knew that once he was promoted to the chief priest, he would be called a big man under three people and above ten thousand people.

This is the benefit of emerging churches.

As long as you have made achievements, you can be promoted easily because of the vacancy in the top position.

If it were an old church, even if you worked ten times harder, it would be very difficult to move the church.

To be honest, in the Sea God Church, as long as one is promoted to the chief pastor, he can be called a big shot.

For now, there are 270 churches, and each pastor has to manage [-] churches, which is not a small number.

Of course, if the number of churches continues to increase in the future, the number of priests will increase accordingly.

In addition to Li Dawan who was so happy that he even woke up from sleep, the other two pastors who lived in the same church with Li Dawan were also full of joy.

Due to their outstanding missionary achievements, the two pastors were also promoted to presiding pastors, but the presiding pastor had to go to a new church to take office.

But even so, it was enough to make people happy.

It can be said that most of the first batch of new pastors who went to Yuemaru country have adapted to this kind of missionary career after two months of training, so nearly 200 people were promoted and became the first batch of churches from all over the world. presiding pastor.

Most of the pastors among them will go to the new church to take office, and use their experience to teach the second batch of new pastors who come to Yuemaru.

Although these pastors may not be qualified priests after two months of training, they are at least much better than the second batch.

Cheng Kong didn't have a good way to train these priests now, so that was the only way he could do it.

In this case, at least the organizational structure of the church can be quickly rolled out.

As for some guys inside, I can only blame myself for not working hard.

Just like the more than 90 pastors who were not promoted in the first batch, they will be redistributed and compete with the second batch of pastors.

Of course, if they don't work hard, it is very likely that they will continue to compete with the third and fourth batch of pastors.

Well, of course, as long as they don't defect and leave the church, even if they are a little lazy, they may have a chance to be promoted.

After all, the Sea God Church was founded and there was a shortage of clergy. After all the Rimaru Kingdoms were developed, the African countries around Achilles Island and even the territory of Laomei needed a large number of clergy to fill.

No way, although the earth is not as vast as the world of heroes, its population density is much higher than that of the world of heroes. The number of priests needed to preach with such a large population is at least 60 to [-], at most millions , millions are possible.

Well, Cheng Kong has already regarded the whole earth as the grazing land of his belief at this time.

Although there are many legends and allusions of gods on the earth, Cheng Kong has also sensed it. Although there are still fluctuations of divine power in some places, there has been no miracle on the entire earth for thousands of years.

From Cheng Kong's point of view, the gods on earth might have had some accidents, so they didn't appear in the world.

As long as you ignite the divine fire yourself, are you still afraid that those old churches that don't show miracles will fail?

As time went by, Cheng Kong spent most of his time in the Daogui Palace concentrating on analyzing the rules and completing the divine surnames. Occasionally, he went out to deal with some important matters that the old horse and others could not decide.

As for the negotiations between Achilles Island and Laomei are still in progress.

No way, at the beginning, the vice president acting as the president had a three-pointed backbone, and only agreed to half of the many requests made by Achilles Island, which were all trivial conditions.

However, Cheng Kong's most important right to preach freely and legally, together with a ransom of 50 billion US dollars, was vetoed by the vice president.

To be honest, Cheng Kong didn't care at all when the $50 billion ransom was rejected. After all, the five aircraft carriers alone cost more than the $50 billion.

Even if Lao Mei is unwilling to redeem the aircraft carrier formation, then Achilles Island will be sold directly. I am afraid that someone is willing to pay for an aircraft carrier for 20 billion US dollars.

You must know that these five aircraft carriers are built with the world's first-class technological level in every aspect. If any country can buy one for various scientific and technological research and analysis, then it will be a great contribution to the overall technological improvement of the country. Very helpful.

Of course, Cheng Kong also knew that if the ransom was demanded according to the value of the entire aircraft carrier formation, Lao Mei would rather fight another battle than pay the ransom.

The cost of an aircraft carrier formation is at least tens of billions of dollars, and the total cost of Laomei's five-carrier formation is probably no less than 600 to [-] billion.

Even if it is discounted by half, Lao Mei will not pay the money.

There is too much money, and whoever agrees to this condition may not be able to explain it in the future.

Cheng Kong asked for 50 billion US dollars, which was originally prepared for the construction and renovation of churches in the United States.

And this number is not too big compared to the value of the aircraft carrier formation. I thought the other party would nod.

Whoever wanted to know was rejected, even the right to freely and legally preach was rejected.

Of course, His Excellency the Vice President prepared a separate negotiation clause, which deleted a lot of things.

The United States paid [-] million US dollars to redeem the aircraft carrier formation and all captured personnel, but the right to freely and legally preach did not appear.

Of course, this may be one of the negotiating strategies prepared by the Vice President.

But this angered Butler James, who was directing the negotiation process behind the scenes.

In the view of James Butler, the free and legal missionary right requested by Mr. Cheng is absolutely unalterable among all the clauses.

Even if Lao Mei does not pay compensation, as long as the right to freedom and lawful preaching is guaranteed, it is not impossible to return the aircraft carrier formation to Lao Mei.

After all, for Achilles Island, these aircraft carrier formations are basically not much of a threat.

Subsequently, under the instructions of James Butler, the negotiating experts on Achilles Island immediately protested to the United States with righteous words, and stated that they had received an order to put the negotiations on hold indefinitely.

As Achilles Island really withdrew from the negotiations, after driving Laomei's negotiating team directly out of Achilles Island, the vice president who was trying to play hard to get was anxious.

Play offline!

Originally thought that he could use his strength to blackmail the other party, so that he could pay less and gain the support of the people.

But now, the negotiation has been directly put on hold. Although he doesn't have to worry about Achilles Island abusing the captured people, the impeachment case of the parliament has entered the process, and it won't be long before the impeachment case will be voted on.

Of course, this impeachment vote needless to say, the president who was paralyzed by a stroke has properly stepped down.

But the problem is that when the president steps down, a general election will be held immediately. If I can't achieve results on this matter, I'm afraid I won't have much advantage in the subsequent general election.

In a panic, the Vice President even dialed the presidential hotline with China and asked China to come forward to coordinate when the official channels were unable to communicate.

Well, this makes the Chinese high-level officials very happy. After so many years, Lao Mei, the bully who is rampant in the world, finally bowed his head once.

Of course, although China's top leaders agreed to coordinate, they did not work very hard.

You must know that Achilles Island is now an ally of China, not to mention that too much effort to coordinate this matter will cause Achilles Island to misunderstand.

It would be detrimental to China if the US was allowed to reach an agreement with Achilles Island so quickly.

In this regard, only Cui Jianguo contacted Butler James with the intention of the Chinese side. After Butler James said that he would not discuss the matter in a short time, Cui Jianguo was not discouraged at all, and turned around and left. To gain a greater advantage in the war of the native kingdom, this is what he should fight for.

After Butler James reported to Cheng Kong, Cheng Kong also agreed.

After all, the Sea God Church has not even taken down Riwan Kingdom, let alone Lao Mei.

"Well, it's okay, it's good to delay them for a while."

After Cheng Kong said these words, Butler James immediately let go of his heart that was hanging in the air.

After all, although this matter is for the sake of the owner, in this way, it is not known when the negotiation will end, and James is not sure about Cheng Kong's thoughts, so he was quite panicked before.

Shortly after Achilles Island temporarily put the negotiations on hold, the U.S. Congress unanimously passed the impeachment of the current president, making the president who is still lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital the fourth person in U.S. history to be impeached President, and was the second president to be successfully impeached.

This really made history. You must know that it is quite difficult to successfully impeach an incumbent president in the United States.

The impeachment bill needs to be passed by the lower parliament and then by a two-thirds vote of the upper parliament to be considered effective.

This is not to mention the number of MPs who support the president's party in the upper parliament.

It can be seen from this that the President is indeed too unpopular.

Since His Excellency the President was successfully impeached, it also triggered a series of cascading effects.

His Excellency the Vice President, who was unfavorable in negotiations, also continued to serve as the President because of the downfall of His Excellency the President.

But the problem is that because Achilles Island put the negotiations on hold, and after the news that the vice president had set up obstacles to the negotiations, some members of the parliament soon filed an impeachment case against the vice president.

Of course, in order to prevent the successive replacements of the president from bringing forward the general election and increasing domestic instability, the upper and lower parliaments jointly rejected the impeachment case.

But the condition for vetoing this impeachment case is that the vice president who has successfully taken office must restart the negotiation process in the shortest possible time.After all, compared with the Vice President who has already taken office, those congressmen want to use this opportunity to expand their influence.

In this way, the former vice president and the current president, like a duck caught in a fight, sent more than ten special envoys to Achilles in just one month.

In the end, the negotiations started again, but this time Achilles Island was not in a hurry. Each clause had to be negotiated for more than half a month, and the President almost didn't rush out of his old troubles.

In short, the negotiations were carried out little by little under the control of Butler James. This time, Achilles Island was called a lion's mouth, and the ransom alone demanded [-] billion.

Of course, asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot is a necessary process for doing business or negotiating.

That President is now experiencing the taste of the two worlds of ice and fire. If he refuses to agree, the negotiation time will be delayed for too long. He estimates that he will be impeached again. If he agrees to this huge sum of money, he will also be impeached.

This degree is not easy to grasp.

Negotiations progressed slowly, but the captives who were locked up on Achilles Island became props for the new priests of the Sea God Church to practice their skills.

By this time, Achilles Island had sent five batches of priests to the Rimaru Kingdom, a total of more than 300 people, of which about half were liars or language lovers from China, about 600 people , while more than 400 college graduates were recruited from European countries, and the other 300 were residents of Achilles Island.

After the TV station was launched, James Butler set up large outdoor TV screens in crowded places to broadcast live programs.

Although this TV station currently only has one channel, it has a lot of content.

In addition to vigorously promoting Cheng Kong as the reincarnation of the Sea God, he also listed Cheng Kong's many great deeds, of course many of them were fabricated out of thin air.

Anyway, no one will take it seriously, and even if someone is serious, these great deeds all happened in the world of heroes, and there is no way to find evidence of their non-existence.

Of course, in addition to proclaiming the greatness of Cheng Kong, there are also some publicity about the Sea God Church, well, there are also some interesting questions and answers related to the Sea God Church. If you answer the correct answer, you will get a certain reward.

Under the continuous influence of TV programs, the religious atmosphere on Achilles Island has finally improved a little.

Some relatives of heroes who couldn't find their place on the island and felt that they were not worth much saw an opportunity here.

Since the fourth batch of Japanese crash course was officially renamed as the Poseidon Church pastor training course, more than 100 local residents of Achilles Island have signed up to participate.

Although many of them are elderly people, ranging in age from 70 to [-], their application for registration was still approved after the special approval of the flight.

Not to mention, despite the fact that most of these local residents are elderly people, they are not as good as young people in terms of memory and physical strength, but their hard work in studying is enough to put the first three batches of new priests to shame.

Therefore, when this group of new pastors went to Yuemaru country, butler James deliberately arranged the older ones to go to areas with better environment.

Not to mention, after this group of new priests arrived in the Rimaru country, the priests with the best preaching effect were these uncle-level priests. Their performance in the two or three months of preaching in the Rimaru country even surpassed the top three. Lot of pastors.

Well, the reason for this is more complicated, but it is related to some social customs of the Yuemaru Kingdom.

As we all know, Yumaru Kingdom is a relatively peculiar country. While advocating Confucianism, it has formed its own unique Bushido spirit. In modern times, it tried its best to break away from Asia and enter Europe, and vigorously promoted Western-style culture. In addition, it was castrated by the old Americans a lot After things, some world-renowned cultural industries were born, such as pornography, comic cartoons, mystery novels and so on.

Under such influence, while the Rimaru society appears to be more impetuous, it also follows some basic social norms similar to those of China.

The more critical points here are seniority, following the rules and even worshiping the wisdom of the elderly.

When applying this basic social norm to faith, then these old priests are more popular.

This is like the reason why people in the world choose old doctors when they see Chinese medicine. They feel that older doctors have rich experience and better medical skills.

For those believers, the pastor is equivalent to the status of the soul teacher.

If the pastor is too young, I am afraid believers will naturally have a sense of distrust.

The elderly pastors can give believers a sense of trust and dependence without talking too much, thus making it easier to carry out missionary activities.

Besides, the current Yuemaru country has entered the stage of an aging society, and the age structure in various places is aging rapidly, which also makes more believers older.

It is also easier for the older pastors to communicate with these believers, and they share common topics.

If a pastor in his twenties were to communicate with these believers, the effect would be much worse.

It is precisely because of the buff effect of the elderly priests on missionary work that when recruiting the fifth batch of priests, Butler James also increased the recruitment of the elderly.

Of course, after the training of these five batches of priests is completed, Achilles Island will no longer import priests into Asahimaru.

The total number of pastors in the five batches has exceeded 800, and they are scattered in 270 churches in Yuemaru. On average, each church has more than six pastors, and even in some larger churches, there are eight pastors.

As a result, the number of priests in the church is slightly denser. You must know that some churches were originally rebuilt from small shrines dedicated to goblins and goblins. Small shrines like this can accommodate up to three to four people, six people. If a priest lives in it, it may seem crowded.

However, this is only temporary congestion. With sufficient funds from India’s war reparations, more churches are being built. If the 800 priests are to be dispersed, it may not be enough.

The most critical problem is that the population of Yuemaru is really large, and the larger territory has a population of 3000 million.

Cheng Kong also calculated specifically for this. If he wanted to hold the religious beliefs of the entire Yuemaru country in his hands, and each priest was responsible for preaching and managing [-] believers, then the entire Yuemaru country would need [-] believers. Priest.

Of course, it is not calculated in this way in practice.

For example, children under the age of 15 need to be removed. Children under the age of 15 have uncertain surnames. Even if a faith connection with Cheng Kong is established, it is extremely unstable and provides very little power of faith.

Therefore, they cannot be counted as true believers.

In this way, at least 13.00% will be removed, and some people who cannot believe in Sea God Cult due to occupational reasons or other reasons will be removed, then the number of followers of Sea God Cult that needs to be educated will drop below [-] million.

Of course, if a pastor is really responsible for preaching and managing [-] believers, the pastor will probably be exhausted to death.

Therefore, less than [-] is more suitable, but in this way, the number of priests needed by the entire Yuemaru Kingdom will rise to more than [-].

This is a huge number for the Sea God Church, which has only been established for less than a year. You must know that even if some outstanding pastors are transferred back from the Rimaru Kingdom to expand the scale of training new pastors, this pastor training class The number of trainings is expanded every time, but up to now, the number of new pastors trained in each batch has only increased to more than 600.

No way, the current venue on Achilles Island is not plentiful.

When Cheng Kong heard the news, he also had to sigh, and ordered Butler James to increase investment in Agadas Island and develop the purchased land as quickly as possible.

By this time, Cheng Kong had already conceived the idea of ​​creating a professional pastor school.

As the number of pastors continues to increase, so do the shoddy effects of some crash courses.

The so-called crash course naturally shortened the teaching time, replaced quality with quantity, and spawned a large number of priests in a short period of time.

Of course, one can imagine how high the quality of such pastors are.

There have been quite a few guys who embezzled believers' donations, but as long as they don't defect from the church, it's not easy for Cheng Kong to punish these guys too severely.

In addition, the most critical problem is their lack of missionary experience.

You must know that in the Rimaru Kingdom, religion can be called an industrialized structure.

To be precise, at present, the religions of the Yumaru Kingdom can be said to be divided into two worlds, with Buddhism and Shinto each accounting for more than 40.00% of the share, and the remaining less than [-]% of the share in the middle is It is shared by shrines dedicated to various mountain spirits and strange monsters.

According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of gods enshrined in this shrine, which accounts for [-]% of the share, such as mountain spirits and earth spirits, but even so, the incense of these shrines is still abundant.

From this, it can be imagined that the priests and monks cultivated in such a religious atmosphere have a wealth of missionary experience that is by no means comparable to those newcomers from the Sea God Church.

During this period of time, more than a dozen pastors headed by Li Dawan performed best. During the first half of the year, each of them recruited more than 200 believers per month on average. Calculated to increase seven or eight believers every day .

But this is just the best result. As for the other pastors, on average, it is not bad to be able to recruit 40 people per month.

The worst-performing pastor is a bit bloody, recruiting more than ten people every month, and may even lose believers, which is a negative number.

In fact, despite the fact that these groups of pastors have been working in full swing in the Rimaru country, in fact, on average, each of them has recruited more than ten believers to join the church.

The entire Sea God Church now has just over 5000 believers in Yuemaru.

Although compared to the few believers on Achilles Island at the beginning, it can be regarded as a relatively prominent achievement.

But if you count the funds invested in the Rimaru Kingdom, even James Butler will blush.
