Don't call me evil god

Chapter 53 The True Meaning of the Teachings of the God of Knowledge

"Although attacking those lone Blood Fang Gang members can curb their arrogance, we haven't actually touched the root of the problem!"

Pete analyzed: "The Bloodfang Gang can have as many ordinary members as they want."

"Eliminating these guys is just scratching the surface."

"The key is that the Blood Fang Gang can still rely on the evil god they have surrendered to to continue to create new subordinates in batches."

"They are just following the orders of their boss."

"If we want to truly resolve the threat of the evil god, it is far from enough to just beat up these lone guys."

"We must have enough power to truly break into the territory controlled by the Blood Fang Gang and eliminate the key figures related to the evil god!"

"For example - several leaders of the Bloodfang Gang, and their leader Dursley!"

Gale, who was practicing quickly constructing [Arcane Missiles] nearby, felt a little worried after hearing this.

"Since the ordinary members can have the strength of level 1, the small leaders are probably at least level 2, not to mention the leader."

"With our current level, can we really fight against them head-on?"

Pete shook his head at first: "Not likely."

The followers of the Seeking Knowledge Sect have to rely on group fighting tactics to attack ordinary members, picking on the weak ones who are alone and squeezing them hard. They have no chance of winning when facing level 2 or 3 enemies head-on, as they cannot take the initiative and launch a sneak attack.

"But..." Pete changed the subject, "I have an idea."

"Or rather, I seem to have guessed the will of the great God of Knowledge."

"Do you remember this sentence in the oracle?"

[During the event, Justice Points can be exchanged for corresponding Knowledge Points. Different exchange ratios will be provided according to the progress of the event.]

Last time, Pete didn't read the complete event introduction carefully, and ended up being looked down upon by Reina like everyone else.

He read it again carefully afterwards, so he noticed this sentence.

"Until now, the exchange rate remains at 10:1."

"The great god of knowledge has already given us a hint!"

"This war cannot be ended by eliminating a few thugs, but is a staged and step-by-step struggle!"

"What we did before can only be regarded as the first stage of the war."

“Now, it’s time for us to move on to the next phase.”

Reina said thoughtfully: "So, Mr. Pete, what you mean is that the operation to crack down on the lone Blood Fang gang thugs can be concluded. Next, we should adopt other strategies?"

Pete nodded and said, "That's right."

"I propose that in the next three days, everyone exchange all the remaining Justice Points on hand for the knowledge they need and improve themselves as much as possible."

"If we want to deal with more dangerous enemies, we need to be more powerful."

Hearing this, someone in the tavern couldn't help but question, "Mr. Pete, how can you guarantee that your understanding of God's will is correct?"

"All you said is based on your speculation."

"Why don't we pray directly to our Lord Nowen and ask him to help us solve the problem of not being strong enough to fight against the Blood Fang Gang?"

Pete explained calmly: "It's very simple."

"Hasn't anyone noticed?"

"The great God of Knowledge, unlike other gods, never directly intervenes to solve the problems we encounter."

"At best, He provides suggested methods or, necessary information."

"Even the combat skills, magic, and divine arts we learned were mastered through our own efforts and practice based on relevant knowledge. It is not that we can directly grant power by praying to the Lord." "Just like what the prayer says."

"His existence is to lead us to explore unknown areas and show us the direction to move forward."

"And tell us at all times how close we are to our destination."

"What does this mean?" Pete asked meaningfully.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Brandon was the quickest to react.

"I understand!"

“The great God of knowledge hopes that we can put in our own efforts to learn and explore!”

“Instead of expecting Him to solve everything!”

"Can't He just use divine magic to destroy the evil god?"

"Can't He just give us the power?"

"Definitely not!"

"It must be because the God of Knowledge is guiding us. He hopes that we can overcome difficulties and eliminate evil through our own efforts!"

"Moreover, the God of Knowledge is actually watching us all the time. He will tell us whether our actions are effective and whether our efforts have been rewarded!"

Pete nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think this is the true meaning of the teachings that the God of Knowledge wants to spread!"

……

In the Kingdom of God, Nowen, who was always paying attention to the situation of the believers, could hardly hold his breath after hearing what he heard.

For a moment, he really wanted to send down an oracle to tell these believers not to over-interpret it, as he really didn't think that much!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to directly grant power to help believers solve their problems.

But I really don’t have that ability!

If he really had a way to directly expose the evil god behind the Blood Fang Gang, Norman would have held a grand miracle ceremony in the downtown area with great fanfare.

By then, won’t believers come in droves?
The point is, he can't do that.

It is true that granting power to believers can kill the evil god, because he, Nowen, is another more ruthless evil god.

what is this?
The way to eliminate a threat is to create a bigger threat so that the former one becomes insignificant, right?
Good news, I destroyed the evil spirit that was threatening the lower city.

Bad news, I'm more dangerous than that guy.

The idea of ​​imparting knowledge and information was a choice that Nowen was forced to make at the beginning.

But now it is interpreted by believers as a deliberate guidance from the great god of knowledge, so that they can understand how to solve problems through their own efforts.

As for the so-called change of exchange ratio according to the progress in the activity.

It was because Nowen took into account that he did not have much divine power at the beginning and was afraid that his divine power would be squeezed out, so he added such a rule.

At that time, he just planned to find a gang of evil forces in the lower city to clean up and use it as an experience package to build reputation for his own sect.

They never took into account the fact that the Blood Fang Gang had already joined the evil god and their overall strength had greatly increased.

When he discovered that the Blood Fang Gang was connected with the evil god, Nowen was a little worried that the believers might be afraid or even give up because they found that the gap in strength was getting bigger.

As a result, when his oracle was interpreted as a so-called hint to tell believers to adopt different coping strategies according to different situations;
The believers did not give up!
On the contrary, I am more motivated!
While Nowen felt gratified, since the enthusiasm of the believers had been aroused, he decided to go with the flow and give them a helping hand!
