Don't call me evil god

Chapter 475 Frustration
A rare look of suspicion appeared on Yan Hu's rough face.

"What kind of tricks are you talking about?"

He heard clearly what Reina said.

But he found it hard to believe.

Because no matter how he listened to it, it seemed unreliable!
Dwarves and humans belong to different races and have very different attitudes towards faith.

Especially regarding the aspect of "blessing".

Human aspect.

From the church to the general public, the general idea is that when the affinity with the corresponding god is high enough, the more devout and firm the faith is, the easier it is to receive his blessing.

This concept means that even if you are a chosen child of God who is chased by a god and fed by him, if you do not believe in this god and are unwilling to offer your faith to him, you will not receive his blessing.

The order of precedence is:
First, you need to have enough affinity, second, you need to offer your faith, and finally, you can receive the blessing from God.

Necessary conditions, sufficient conditions, and consequences.

This was the case with Reina in the past.

She has a high affinity with the God of Shadows, but she has never tried to pray to Murphy, the God of Shadows, nor has she performed a ceremony to offer her faith, so she has never discovered her talent and potential.

The situation is different with the dwarves.

The dwarves of Stone Fort believe that the blessing of the gods comes from the manifestation of the power of their ancestral bloodline.

This is a talent that dwarves are born with.

Before reaching adulthood, if one can stimulate the ancestral power inherited in one's blood, one will be rewarded with the blessing of the gods!

That’s the problem!
Even a dwarf who has not prayed to the God of the Forge and is not a follower of Gunnir.

It is also possible that when the "power in the blood" is activated, he will immediately receive the blessing of the gods and master the corresponding casting magic.

The dwarves believed this because they had tangible evidence.

Throughout history, there were many dwarf babies who were born not long ago and could not even speak. However, as long as they were handed things related to the forging god Gunnir or other things like forging hammers, they could release the prototype of the corresponding divine arts out of thin air.

It can't be said that because of prenatal education, the baby has already established faith in the mother's womb, right?

The dwarves firmly believe that this is the greatest manifestation of the power of their bloodline.

……

Therefore, in Yanhu's opinion, the credibility of what Lena said was basically zero.

What flows in the blood is there or not.

Yan Hu didn't believe it.

"If there is such a good way, why don't you use it?"

"Little human girl, I am almost 160 years old, which is considered middle-aged and elderly among dwarves. The bread I have eaten is longer than the roads you have walked."

Yan Huyu began to educate Reina earnestly.

"In such a long time, what have I not seen?"

"More than a hundred years ago, when I was about to become an adult, I was also thinking that my bloodline must be excellent enough. It's just that the great Gunnir is very busy and has not yet found the time to bless me."

"At that time, I might be attracted by your tricks."

"But as time goes by, I gradually become more open-minded about many things."

"Whether I have received His blessing or not, my life will continue like this."

"On the contrary, it was those young men who tried to take shortcuts and did not trust the old dwarf. Some of them even did wrong things under impulse and were deceived by those outsiders with bad intentions. In the end, they turned into a group of irrational monsters."

"I can see, little girl, you don't have any bad intentions."

"But no matter where you heard your so-called method from, listen to Lao Yanhu's advice, don't believe those statements that sound full of temptation!"

"There's an old saying among the dwarves."

“If someone gives you a piece of gold, he is planning to take something from you.”

Reina was speechless.

She finally experienced the stubbornness of the dwarves.

If it were a human being, especially one who was brave, adventurous, and desperate, upon hearing of such an opportunity, there would definitely be many people who would dare to give it a try.

Not to mention the goblins.

When it comes to interests, they become even bolder.

Only these stubborn dwarves.

Their life in the stone fortress was indeed pretty good. The weapons and equipment forged by the dwarves were in great demand throughout the continent, so these guys were not short of money and had no worries about food and clothing.

It's not just Reina.

Pete and his friends also underestimated the difficulty of preaching to the dwarves.

Because the two parties have no past friendship or acquaintance!

This is different from preaching in places like Greenport or Ceylon.

In the past, missionaries were basically one’s own family and friends. They knew each other well and believed that the other party would not cheat them, so the faith spread quickly.

The Dwarven Stone Fortress is a typical unfamiliar place for those seekers of knowledge.

Without acquaintances to serve as a catalyst for missionary work, simply telling stories and making promises is not enough for a typical dwarf like Yanhu.

Even if the bread was delivered to him, he would still refuse it cautiously.

Reina couldn't really force the cake into Yanhu's mouth.

The casting magic that was passed down and blessed by the Freeman family was also a magic that only dwarves could learn.

Reina couldn't learn it.

As for other benefits of believing in the God of Knowledge, such as learning other magic and divine arts?

Not to mention that dwarves are generally not interested in magic.

Not to mention divine magic, they held on to their three dwarf gods tightly and refused to let go.

Many dwarves are natural warriors. Perhaps because of their passion for blacksmithing, they are generally strong and can easily inspire and control their anger.

Relying on anger and combat skills to attract is of no effect.

It's just like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard!
……

It wasn't just Reina who suffered setbacks.

Other believers who were seeking knowledge and scattered into the stone fortress and were exploring here in different ways soon encountered similar difficulties.

While tracking down clues about the man in black robe, many people were stuck on how to enter the second floor of the stone fortress.

They were all stopped outside the elevator by the dwarf guards.

The mission could not be advanced, and a new missionary mission happened to become available with generous rewards, so many people were interested.

The result was that they all failed.

Dwarves are stubborn.

There were even some who were quite sensitive. When they heard the knowledge-seeking believers say that "it could help them master the divine arts they wanted to use", they immediately became alert and called for the guards.

They regarded the believers who seek knowledge as cultists.

Trying to sneak into the Stone Keep and spread the dangerous power of the evil god!
Ever since.

The first day that Nowen’s missionary mission was launched.

Not to mention that the progress of the dwarf believers remains at 3/1000.

There are also a large number of threads on the Holy Temple of Truth that are filled with complaints and rants.

[Help! I found a square and just started preaching when they pinned me to the ground, kicked me and beat me up. I was almost thrown into prison. I urgently need a pastor to treat me! ]

[The dwarves are more stubborn than each other. They are unwilling to even try! ]

[You guys are not bad, at least you responded. I chatted up a bunch of dwarves on the road, but no one even paid attention to me. It felt like I was air! ]
