Don't call me evil god

Chapter 664 Miranda's Faith
Fradin was stunned.

"why?"

Although he kept saying that he envied Pete and the others, he actually never considered trying to pray to Nowen and offer his faith.

Because Prince Fradin himself did not believe that he could really obtain the power bestowed by any god.

His father, Kenredin Usa Mokred, had never received the blessing of the gods.

Even though His Majesty Kenredin was very friendly towards the Cult of the Glowing God, he would go to the church of the Cult of the Glowing God every New Year and, under the witness of the Pope, offer sacrifices and gifts to Navarre to show his respect for the God of Glowing God.

But Kenredin had never been blessed with even a single ray of divine power.

He is a pure warrior professional.

All the strength comes from the anger discovered within the body.

Prince Fradin was baptized by the Glorious Pope when he was born;

Archmage Alcandas also once represented the Magical Hermitage, opening up the wisdom of sensing the magic web for him;

The followers of the wilderness god Leisai presented him with a headband woven from wild buds, symbolizing contact with the spirituality of the wilderness;
Fradin had no shortage of money for affinity testing, and the followers of the God of Justice were happy to perform the ritual for him for free.

The results of the ritual test showed that he did have a good affinity with many gods, including the God of Light. Normally, he should be blessed.

But like his father, Fradin never received any blessing from the gods.

So he didn't think that when it came to divine blessings, Nowen, the God of Knowledge, would be any different from other gods.

He had no hope at first.

But Miranda had a different idea.

"Your Highness."

"What conditions do you think must be met in order for the gods to bless mortals?"

Prince Fradin thought for a moment:

"After meeting the qualifications, at least your faith should be firm, right?"

“It requires mortals to be willing to give up their own interests to a certain extent for the sake of faith.”

"For example, obeying the teachings, using the guidance of the gods to control one's words and deeds, and adjusting one's lifestyle."

Miranda pursed her lips and said, "That's what I thought and did before."

“But I feel that now.”

"If the gods really will bestow blessings on mortals because of their firm faith, and take back their power because of their improper behavior."

"Then the Glorious God Church should be a perfect place."

"Every teaching of the God of Light is guiding us towards goodness, light and goodness."

"With strong faith, we heal the wounded, help the weak, eliminate suffering, eliminate evil, and spread the gospel."

"But... in the Glowing God Church, has every believer who has received His blessing really done this?"

Prince Fradin was a little puzzled: "Isn't it?"

Miranda shook her head slightly.

“I used to think that was the case.”

“Now, I have a new idea.”

Fladin and Miranda agree on one thing:

Both of them were born and raised in the royal capital of Starosh.

The latter came from an ordinary family, so they had never traveled far. When they were young, the farthest place they had been was the Shelter Plains. They had no idea what the outside world was like.

The former has a special status and has no chance to travel far. His activities are also limited to the sheltering plains. His knowledge of the outside world comes entirely from descriptions of others and records in books.

"The Radiant Priests of the Royal Capital have the deepest blessings from the gods here, so they will unswervingly fulfill the mission that Naval has entrusted to mortals."

"But outside of Starosh..."

Several images flashed through Miranda's mind. Bishop Skate of Green Harbor, for his own personal benefit, secretly cultivated and supported the Blood Fang Gang, and actively sent believers of the evil god over there;
Bishop Henry Tran of Ceylon and a large number of priests under him allowed the disaster to develop just for the sake of their "savior image".

Before that, they could already be described as derelict in their duty and had done many things that seriously violated doctrine.

Using power for personal gain, using the powerful magic in your hands to exchange for wealth, instead of using it where it should be used;
They turn a blind eye to the dying of the poor and even deliberately keep refugees poor so that the meager assistance they provide will appear invaluable.

“There are many believers who have been blessed by Nawal, but they have abandoned their teachings and committed misconduct, but they have not received the punishment they deserve.”

"So, I guess..."

"The conditions for receiving the blessing will definitely not be, at least not as simple as just having excellent qualifications and devout faith."

Miranda's voice was not loud, but her tone was extremely firm.

She said it with absolute certainty.

Prince Fradin was stunned.

Miranda's words overturned the "conditions" for God's blessing that Fradin and even most people knew.

She believed that whether or not the gods blessed people did not entirely, or even did not at all, depend on whether mortals had devout faith.

……

"We are willing to truly believe in the great existence," Miranda began to chant softly, "He will accurately guide us in the direction of progress."

"He treats all mortals equally, without any likes or dislikes based on their qualifications, origins, or talents."

“He can distinguish right from wrong. Any effort will be rewarded accordingly. Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished.”

“He has given us great power so that we can determine our own destiny and future.”

“He will not ask us to sacrifice everything for Him.”

“The blessing He bestows upon us is to enable us to protect everything that belongs to us.”

This time, Prince Fradin was really excited by what he heard, and his eyes were bright!
His Royal Highness had to admit that if the God of Knowledge, Novan, really existed as Miranda had described to him, then He would not hesitate to bestow His blessings on him.

Because according to the teachings of Noven, the god of knowledge, mortals should work hard for their own lives!

His heart, which had originally given up all hope, could no longer suppress its excitement!

"If...I mean if..."

"What kind of rituals and preparations do I need to perform in order to receive His blessing?"

Prince Fradin asked curiously.

Miranda turned her head and looked at Rena, giving her a look.

The latter understood immediately.

When it comes to missionary work, Reina may not be professional, but she is definitely "orthodox".

"It's simple, just follow me."

Reina smiled and stretched out her right hand, touching her chest where her heart was.

"In the endless universe..."

Prince Fradin stared at the other person in a daze.

In his impression, believing in gods and obtaining blessings should be something that requires careful preparation and advance arrangements. In short, it is a very complicated and formal matter.

Judging from Reina's actions, the ritual can start now?!

He hurriedly imitated Reina.

"In the endless universe..."
