goddess of revolution

Chapter 3 The Goddess Stuck in the Mortal World

"Give the witch to the Orthodox church, at least three thousand gold bushes can be exchanged."

In the castle hall, the steward Sebadian said: "It is right not to kill her, but it is very dangerous to be locked in the castle!"

"What if it's not a witch, but the saint of some weird god? That can't be offended."

Li Qi sat on the main seat and said absent-mindedly.

In view of the fact that the goddess indicated that the little girl was a precious asset related to the great cause of the revolution, and at the same time an evil existence in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Qi did not make a rash decision, but transferred the grandpa and grandson from the prison to the turret of the castle and held them alone.

Sebadian's explanation helped him complete the concept of "witch".

In Finn's world, superpowers are everywhere, and there are no "witches" who are regarded as evil because of their supernatural powers.

Compared with the "witches" collected by a warm-hearted prince in another world, the witches in Finn's world are in a much worse situation.

They are hunted by the church and hated by mortals, even the devil is unwilling to get involved with them.An evil necromancer or lich would rather reveal himself than be mistaken for a witch.

As for the reason, Sebadian relayed the official statement of the major churches: "The witch is a container of evil, which will tarnish the faith and corrupt the soul."

According to the church, the abomination is the promiscuity of the gods... Uh, in short, weird existences born under various abnormal conditions.If gods are compared to matter, gods are anti-matter, and should not be wandering in the world.

But Finn is a very active high-magic world. There are often cracks in the barriers of the main material plane, and various plane invasions such as beast tides, demon tides, and elemental tides break out. It is not uncommon for gods to take the opportunity to sneak in.

To exist in the world for a long time, the abomination must be housed in a suitable container, and young women are the best choice.The meaning of their existence is to pollute and corrupt all divinity, and then destroy all gods.When it comes to the human world, it is natural to aim at the source of divinity, which is the belief of mortals.

Therefore, the churches of various gods, whether it is an orthodox church that can walk openly, or an underground church that can only operate secretly, regard searching and catching witches as the highest level of permanent daily tasks.

But Li Qi still didn't understand why mortals could easily recognize the witch?

If the goddess hadn't given him a hint, he would have thought it was just a professional with special skills and some special effects.

"My lord, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, just listening to what Mr. Sardar and the guards said is enough to confirm that she is a witch!"

Sebadian held up three fingers: "First, although the real body of the witch is various, they all have dark wings."

This is available, but it can only be regarded as a special effect. Professionals of the dark department, or magic masters who love to play cool can make it.

"Second, witches are all beautiful girls or little girls."

What kind of standard is this?Is beauty a sin?
"Third, and most importantly, when the witch reveals her real body, no matter what god she believes in, if she only sees it from a distance, her belief will be polluted and her power will be corrupted."

Speaking of this, Sebadian glanced at Sardar next to him. The knight was sweating profusely, waving a long sword with protruding eyes and thick neck.The long sword is like a light stick with a low battery, shining brilliantly, but it still can't cut the knight's unique shattering cut.

"No—! Your Majesty Huma! My faith in you will never waver!"

The knight knelt down with his sword in his hands, and hissed to Huma, the god of knights he believed in, vividly displaying the third rule mentioned by the steward.

This is the key, the witch is listed as the public enemy of Finn because of this.To indiscriminately corrupt extraordinary powers is, of course, the hatred of gods and the fear of others.

Li Qi still has doubts: "I have direct contact with... the witch, why is it okay?"

The pain is very painful, but there are no sequelae, and I even feel that there are some benefits that I have not yet understood. It seems that the church's statement is only one-sided.

Sebadian replied very tactfully: "Mr. Sardar is a second-level knight, sir, you are just an apprentice knight, and you haven't really touched the extraordinary power yet."

Li Qi pretended to cough, because he was an egg, whether it was multiplication, division or square root, he was still an egg.

"Master, the influence of faith and power is only one aspect. The most terrifying thing about a witch is all kinds of evil curses. I think..."

Sebadian also wanted to persuade Li Qi to take the little girl to the church to exchange money immediately, but the sound of flipping books in Li Qi's mind finally stopped.

This is the reason why he has been absent-minded. The goddess is also a novice on the road, and he has no words to answer a lot of questions raised by him. He is looking for information, so he has to wait for the goddess.

Sebadian had to be perfunctory, Li Qi thought for a while, and chose the statement that best fit the housekeeper's thinking: "There are dozens of Orthodox churches in the kingdom, we have to find the highest bidder, you should first inquire about the market .”

Sebadian raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised by Li Qi's "sudden enlightenment" performance.

He bowed: "Master, you are right, I will get it done as soon as possible."

Before Li Qi could speak, he added: "Don't worry, master, I will never leak the news."

It has to be said that Li Qi's impression of the housekeeper is changing, and he is even a little fortunate that Daddy Cheap has finally left some useful legacy.

After the steward left, Li Qi asked the knight dressed up as a statue: "Sardar, have you been downgraded?"

"Downgrade?"

Sardar touched his head: "That's right, there is no downgrade! His Majesty Huma just spat at me, but he hasn't kicked me away yet, haha! His Majesty Huma still cares about me!"

This guy can be considered useful, but looking at his heartless appearance, like a goldfish with only seven seconds of memory, you can't have too high expectations for him.

"Go find the witch's grandfather, what are you afraid of, just call through the door, and say that I will give him a chance to explain."

After dismissing Sardar, Li Qi turned his attention to communicating with the goddess.

"Things have to start with the essence of Finn's world..."

"Be concise, Your Majesty, don't make the beginning of the article an exposition."

"Well... let's put it this way, in the world of Finn, the extraordinary power is carried by divinity. The mortal revolution where everyone becomes a god does not violate the fundamental laws of the world of Finn. Every mortal here has divinity."

"This is the setting that most fantasy worlds will have. Otherwise, how can mortals ignite the fire and sit on the throne of God."

"Shut up! What's the point? Oh, divinity."

The Goddess taught Li Qi a concise Fein theology class, and most of the time the Goddess read it with admiration.It is estimated that her knowledge, as well as the saying that witches are called "fallen angels", are also the opinions of another school outside the church, which makes Li Qi's reliability of the goddess even more discounted.

In Fein, the ancient gods relying on nature have declined, and the main gods are the current gods supported by faith.

Faith condenses the divinity of mortals and builds a priesthood. The priesthood also determines the flow of extraordinary power, and divinity is the carrier of extraordinary power, thus forming a closed loop.

Ideally, this closed loop should be orderly, but the behavior of the gods in charge of the priesthood is not ideal.With the changes of history, the gods are constantly changing, and the priesthood is also constantly changing.And allowing part-time jobs, that is, more beliefs is quite common in Finn, making beliefs even more messy.

For example, the god of knights believed by Sardar, this priesthood is condensed by the belief in the seven virtues of knights.However, after the mortal Huma won the priesthood, he linked his faith with himself, and continued to compete with the God of War, the God of Warriors and other gods related to battle for his faith, and the true belief in the seven virtues withered.

As long as these withered beliefs are not completely dissipated, it is still possible to gather divinity and give birth to new priesthoods.However, the gods in charge of the original priesthood occupy the position, and the new priesthood cannot be promoted to the plane of the kingdom of God, and can only wander in the world, becoming an opportunity for mortals to awaken.

Of course, in terms of carrier, the term "fallen angel" is the same as "witch", and only girls are qualified to play it.

"That's what Fallen Angel means..."

Li Qi was emotional: "That is to say, they are actually..."

The goddess confirmed his deduction: "They are goddesses stranded in the mortal world!"

She quickly added: "Of course, they are not the same as mine, and they will never be able to ascend to the Kingdom of God."

Yes, they are wild aborigines, and you are a high-level talent who was smuggled into (immigrated) by illegal traffic (law).

Li Qi understood one more thing: "They were beaten into black households. When they consciously or unconsciously aroused their divine power in the mortal world, it was like pulling a wire from the corridor of a dormitory building. It was a divine power that was not controlled by the real gods and them. System-approved, so there will be filth and corruption.”

"That's right! What does that mean?"

The goddess turned into a broadcast voice again: "It means that Fein's current god class is all usurping reactionaries! They have usurped the fruits of the people's revolution, suppressed Fein's metabolism, and hindered the progress of history. ?"

Li Qi felt pain in her liver and gallbladder. Before the mortal revolution started, she was thinking of causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

"I'll be steady on the top," the goddess encouraged, "You work hard on the bottom!"

There's something wrong with these words, but Li Qi thinks it's better not to delve into it.

He had a new inference: "The gods advertise the fallen angels as witches through the church. Is the truth trying to absorb their priesthood?"

"Fallen Gods... that is, the witch's priesthood has not been promoted to the plane of the kingdom of God, and the gods have no way to directly absorb them, but the pure divinity in them is an excellent food for strengthening the power of the gods."

The goddess swallowed her saliva, and said frankly: "Of course it is also my food, and I can use it to gather new priesthood."

But you can't eat it directly. After all, you are a black household who smuggled in from another world. You have to go through me, the spokesperson who has integrated into the world of Finn, which means you have to eat what I have chewed.

Li Qi wisely didn't say these thoughts, the goddess seemed to only be able to sense his thoughts vaguely, and couldn't directly read his mind.

He asked the actual question again: "You said that she was absorbed into Amway...uh, a devout believer, how do you do this?"

The goddess was silent for a while, didn't speak any more, and just wrote a line on the light screen: "Do I have to tell you every detail of everything?"

Actually you don't understand either...

After calling a few times, the goddess didn't respond anymore. Li Qi lamented that he would be offended by such a boss in the future.

At this moment, Sardar escorted the old man over, and as soon as he entered the hall, the old man threw himself on the ground and mourned: "Master Viscount, please don't hand over Fenny to the church, she is really not a witch!"

After finishing speaking, she gasped for a while, and said while panting again: "She is... is... the saint of the Goddess of Suffering!"
