Don't call me evil god

Chapter 92: First Disagreement
Especially in the Blood Red Mercenaries’ base, what is most abundant is various weapons.

There were all kinds of weapons that mercenaries usually used, including long swords, short spears, shields, bows and arrows, muskets, as well as knives, long sticks and so on.

Although most of them are second-hand goods, the believers of the Knowledge Seeking Sect do not despise them!

Before they believed in Nowen and became professionals, these people were ordinary workers in the lower city, earning a dozen silver coins a month. After deducting the necessary living expenses, they were considered lucky if they could save 1 or 2 silver coins.

In the past two days, I followed the large force to crack down on the thugs of the Blood Fang Gang. I was able to barely supplement my wallet by looting from them so that I wouldn't spend all my savings and have to beg on the road.

As for these properly crafted weapons, even if they are placed on the black market in the lower city, the cheapest dagger will sell for more than ten silver coins; a musket made by goblins, or a standard longsword forged by dwarf craftsmen, can be easily sold for dozens of silver coins.

When attacking the Rose Berry Pavilion, the battle was able to go so smoothly because everyone temporarily equipped themselves with weapons that suited their needs. With more handy equipment, their combat effectiveness naturally improved.

However, now that the battle is over, everyone has a disagreement about the ownership of these weapons, or even an argument!
the reason is simple.

There are indeed a lot of weapons.

But at present, it is not possible to achieve the level of everyone having one;

What's more, there are different types, and even the same type, the quality can be good or bad.

For example, the hand axe that Evan once used and the machete used by the blood-red mercenary leader, both of these weapons have the marks left by the dwarf craftsmen at the time of casting. They are real good things, and their value is definitely more than 1 gold coin!
For example, there are two goblin-made muskets in the spoils, which are very suitable for rangers to use, but now there are 6 believers of the ranger profession.

Who should own this weapon?
Brandon, who only had one word in his mind, didn't think much about it. He was the first to make a suggestion according to what he had heard from the bard in the tavern:
"I heard that the treasures discovered by those adventurers outside are distributed according to their contributions!"

"Whoever makes the greatest contribution will be chosen first!"

Of course, his proposal was quickly rejected.

"Inappropriate, inappropriate!"

"The adventurers only have 4 or 5 people in a team, but we have dozens of people here, including Miss Warren and the others!"

"How do you calculate contribution? There's no way to calculate it!"

It's true that the priests who provided treatment made a great contribution. Without their assistance, this group of ordinary level 1 warriors alone would not be able to withstand the level 2 strength of the Blood Fang Gang leader and would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The problem is that among the spoils seized this time, almost all the weapons are suitable for believers of the three career paths: warrior, rogue, and ranger.

There simply weren't the gems of arcane affinity that mages needed, or the holy items that worked better with auras that priests needed.

Let the pastors and believers choose first, what can they take?
You can't let them choose the most valuable weapons and then sell them for money, right?

Everyone knows that the Seeking Knowledge Sect is indeed in a penniless state now. It is not like those wealthy churches or mercenary groups that can afford such small things.

Now is the time when we urgently need to use these things to improve our strength.

Only by distributing weapons to the right people can it help in the next attempt to deal with the Bloody Roulette underground casino.

It would be a waste to just sell it for money.

Therefore, the proposed model of selling it for money and distributing it equally like cash loot was also rejected.

Miranda also offers a similar suggestion for the Crusader model:
"In the Glorious God Church, all spoils from missions will be handed over to the church, and the bishop will then appoint someone to decide to whom the rewards will be distributed."

However, this suggestion was ultimately rejected by everyone.

As the Seeking Knowledge Sect has grown to the point where its membership has expanded to the thousands, it can be said that at least 10% of the people in the Lower Town have become casual believers of Nowen.

There are more than 50 professionals participating in this event, including many people with less talent who are still working hard to become level 1 professionals, as well as people who do not intend to follow the path of cultivation, but simply believe in Nowen and use knowledge points to make their lives more convenient.

But there has never been a place like a "church" or "temple" in the strict sense.

This is unlike the churches of other gods. Even if the number of believers is small and the priesthood is not strong, there will often be a small church or something like that, where church staff can organize initiation ceremonies for believers or bestow blessings.

The organization of the church means the differentiation of hierarchical structure.

There is a "class" gap between bishops and ordinary believers.

The knowledge-seeking sect is different.

Novin's followers have always maintained a state of equality.

Everyone can pray to God equally and receive responses equally.

Pete and Gale were from border noble families who came to Greenport to study. In their hometown, they would be considered the superior people with "noble blood";
Brandon and Reina are ordinary people who make a living by working in the lower town of Greenport;

But everyone’s identity in the sect is the same, they are all believers of the “God of Knowledge”, that is, Noven, and there will be no differences due to their background or other reasons.

When taking action, he followed Pete's arrangements and commands, not because his noble status was more noble, but because he was indeed... smarter in comparison.

He is good at analyzing the situation in battle scenes, and commanding allows him to make full use of this strength.

If everyone has better ideas, then there is no need to follow Pete's command.

The nature of the distribution of spoils is different.

When distributing the spoils, if one person is assigned to decide the ownership, doesn't that mean that this person's status is superior to that of other believers?

Unable to find a suitable way to distribute the weapons, everyone stared at the dazzling array of weapons in front of them and became confused.

Until Reina weakly raised her hand and made a suggestion:
"How about we pray to the Lord and see if He has any perfect solution?"

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly realized:
"Ehhhhh?"

"Yup!"

"The Lord knows everything, so He must have a fair way!"

"Ms. Monia is a genius!"

"That's it!"

When Nowen, who was in the Kingdom of God, paid attention to the prayers from the believers, he was also a little curious.

Noven knew very well that he could not expect all his believers to be absolutely loyal and commandable like the soldiers in the RTS games he had played.

As a sect develops, differences and conflicts are bound to arise among believers.

The first disagreement that was difficult to reach consensus on was over the distribution of the spoils.

However, Nowen also had to admit the issue of how to perfectly achieve fair income distribution.

This thing, whether before or after Norman traveled through time, has been an almost unsolvable problem of the century.

Novan is curious about:

Can a perfect solution be obtained through his perhaps "omniscient and omnipotent" divine authority?
