Don't call me evil god

Chapter 234 I'll try, but I won't go in
"…learn magic and become a spellcaster."

Sam tried to think of the meaning of this sentence.

He had seen it with his own eyes.

The official citizens of Xiwei Territory, whether they run taverns, shops, or even street cleaners, can perform a few magic tricks at will.

The popularity of magic is really high here.

The content in the notice might not just be empty talk, but real facts.

Can you learn and master magic after becoming a follower of the God of Knowledge?
no limit?

Can I learn it even if my affinity with the Magic Goddess is not high enough?
Sam struggled.

The threat of expulsion of heretics is there, and if he really wants to join, he will be on the pirate ship.

But the temptation to become a spellcaster also lies ahead.

The status of spellcasters is very high in the entire Plantis continent. Even if he can't return to the Kingdom of Reyak, at worst, after he becomes a wizard, he simply won't return to the kingdom and move directly to Green Port with his family to enjoy a better life?

There is no need to worry about the defenses of Xiwei Territory being breached in the monster red tide;
You can also enjoy the legendary benefits of becoming a follower of the God of Knowledge.

He had heard knowledgeable adventurers brag that the Upper Town of Green Harbor was so rare in the world that it was hard to find.

Things like "You can buy anything there if you have enough money", "You can live better than a king, with 100 maids ready to take care of your daily needs", and so on.

Sam struggled for a long time, but in the end he could not resist the temptation to become a spellcaster:

"I want to take a look! Just one look!"

“Just because I’ve read relevant content doesn’t mean I’m going to do it!”

"See if it's not too much."

Elsewhere on the notice board, there are instructions on how outsiders can apply for settlement and how to gain contribution points.

Sam thought it through.

He can look at the specific requirements first.

What if the conditions for obtaining contribution points are very harsh?

His eyes flicked to the other side of the notice board.

“How to obtain contribution points.”

"Participate in the territory construction, defense, and development tasks issued by the lord."

"Invite outsiders to arrive and settle in the territory."

"Profoundly master the doctrine of seeking knowledge. (Note: Please go to Warren Territory to participate in the free unified learning organized by the organization)"

"Obtain the lord's recommendation qualification."

"..."

"Every 7 days, you can apply for and obtain official citizenship based on your contribution ranking and your understanding of doctrine."

There are several ways, and they all seem normal.

There were no signs of any heretics falling seriously ill.

He originally thought that they would require testing the affinity between the outsiders who were about to become believers and the God of Knowledge. After all, almost all other churches of gods did this.

If you don’t have enough affinity, everything will be in vain.

This is not included in the requirements of faith in the God of Knowledge.

It seems that the so-called Church of Knowledge does not consider the issue of affinity at all.

In Sam's opinion, all the conditions are not difficult to achieve. It can even be said that these methods are much easier than Sam expected.

The contribution value can be clearly known, and is directly in the form of a ranking.

This means that as long as he is willing to work hard day by day, sooner or later he will be able to rank at the front and qualify.

It is reasonable to master the doctrine. If you don't even know the basic doctrines of the corresponding gods, how can you be devout in your faith? In addition to being a warrior adventurer, Sam also believes in the God of Radiance, a pan-believer.

He didn't know whether he had really received the blessing, but he could indeed explain the teachings of the Radiance in detail.

Of course, whether or not we should strictly follow the teachings of the Radiant Light in our daily lives is another matter.

Moreover, when he was studying the teachings of the Glow God, the priests of the Glow God Church who were responsible for explaining them charged a fee!
Although the price was not high, only 5 silver coins were charged per person, but that was still money!

The doctrine explanations and sermons of the Church of Knowledge are completely free!

Sam felt himself even more shaken!

It seems that the path to becoming a believer is clear and not that difficult!
Unconsciously, his bottom line had retreated another step.

"How about...I should just simply complete a few territory construction tasks first?"

“Isn’t it stated here?”

"Destroy monsters near the three territories and bring back evidence that proves the ownership of the spoils. This is for defending the territory and maintaining regional stability, and you can also get contribution points."

"I was going to hunt monsters anyway."

"It shouldn't be too much to complete a few tasks along the way. It's just a matter of convenience!"

"And the one who went to Warren Territory to study the doctrine together."

"It's a good opportunity to stop by and take a look at another territory, to have a comprehensive look at what the so-called heretical church is like, and to study the doctrine a little bit."

"Completing the mission and learning the doctrine does not mean that I have to devote my faith to become a believer. If I don't feel right, I can just walk away!"

The more Sam thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

The bottom line is getting lower and lower.

Sam's reaction was completely different from when Yan arrived at the Misty Valley.

The reason is also very simple.

Ya'an knew nothing at the time. He had just woken up from a coma when he learned that he had arrived at the territory of the heretical church. He subconsciously made all kinds of associations and was definitely highly alert.

Xiweiling is different!
First let outsiders experience and witness with their own eyes the prosperity of the territory, its orderly order, the convenience of magic, and the atmosphere of civilization.

With this layer of preparation and buffer, the shock of telling them about the heretical church wouldn't be that great.

The adventurers themselves will start to think about it.

"This heresy doesn't look like a dangerous doctrine or an extreme believer, does it?"

Not all believers of heretical churches are bad people.

For example, the Church of Illusion back then. Although using divine magic to create illusions to serve as one's spiritual and material partners was a bit incomprehensible to outsiders, in fact, most of the believers of the God of Illusion were very shy. Or, they created illusions for themselves because they were embarrassed to socialize with others.

Strictly speaking, the Illusion Church is not actually that dangerous. Their biggest problem is that it will cause a huge drop in the local fertility rate.

Many adventurers who came to Xiwei Territory had similar ideas to Sam:

"I only do a little bit of the mission, and I only know a little bit of the doctrine."

"There is no compulsory measure to keep people here, otherwise why would so many people be willing to come here!"

"If it doesn't suit me, I'll just leave."

I was shocked when I saw the words "heresy church" at the beginning.

Now I am becoming more and more hesitant, and have reached the point where I think, "I'll just give it a try, just to experience it, it shouldn't be too much."

The bottom line has been shaken to a precarious level without anyone noticing.

And this is based on the premise that the adventurers are unaware of the true "benefits" of the Church of Knowledge.
