Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 385 Advising Her To Be Good
Hobert knew that the "Witch of Pain" in front of him was wise enough to understand what he said.

He continued: "You should also be aware that the power of the church comes from extraordinary people, but the strength and potential of the church depends on the number of believers.

"If there are enough believers, there will be enough fresh blood. Even if the Extraordinary suffers a huge loss, they can be replenished in the shortest possible time.

"In addition, whether it is the power generated by belief, as well as the acquisition of news, the acquisition of financial resources, and the establishment of channels, it will be a matter of course.

"Although many religious people are unwilling to admit and think about it, the fact is: ordinary people are the key to the church!
"What the church should be fighting for, or is fighting for, has always been the power of faith of ordinary people."

Monica listened very carefully. The senior executives of the Gnosis Society had already had a similar concept, otherwise they would not have tried their best to recruit believers.

But before that, none of them had such a clear idea.

Forsi and Helen felt that they had heard a brand new theory, so they felt very novel.

Hobert continued: "Then here comes the crux of the matter, since it is to compete for the faith of ordinary people, the image of the church or clergy among the people will be very critical.

"If you always think of bringing pain, despair, and disaster to the people, of course they won't believe in your teachings.

"If you bring pain to villains, make evil despair, and be a disaster for lawbreakers, your image will be greatly changed, and people will spontaneously become believers in the Gnosis Society."

Helen hurriedly asked, "What about happiness?"

Hobert smiled and said, "Isn't it happiness to make the person you love happy every day?"

While talking, he thought to himself: But if you do this, it seems cool and cruel.

Hobert continued: "If countless people come to beg for pleasure, but you reject it, your image will also have a huge change!
"Also, who said that happiness only refers to the pleasure in bed? Think back to when you were in love, every move and look of your lover can affect your emotions!"

Helen opened her mouth, these words seemed to open up a new way of thinking for her.

But Monica took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "But the existence of our belief is the terminator that ends everything. Our core idea is to bring the end to this world and the end."

She was able to tell Hobert about their beliefs, which shows Monica's candor in this conversation.

Hobert still kept smiling: "Didn't you find out? In today's Orthodox Church, gods are gods, and churches are churches.

"It's not that the church has no loyalty to the gods, but that after the gods go to the astral world, it is impossible to manage the church in every detail. More than 1000 years are the time, and the church must have developed a corresponding independence.

"For us, this is a good thing, maybe you have heard such a saying: Believe in the power of the gods, but don't believe in their benevolence.

"Why don't you cut yourself apart in function and concept? The gods are gods, the Witch Church is the Witch Church, and the Gnostic Society is the Gnotic Society.

"Leave the end of the world to the Church of the Gods and the Witch, and you can do what a church should do well."

Monica was stunned for more than ten seconds before saying: "Your idea is very bold, but at the same time it hits the nail on the head. I will go back and think about it."

After speaking, the "Witch of Pain" didn't eat a bite, and immediately got up to leave. She needed time to digest the idea just heard as soon as possible.

On the carriage back, she told Helen: "Don't divulge today's conversation.

"Pay attention to Hobert's words and deeds, this may be a huge change in thinking for you."

……

In the restaurant of the lord's mansion, the chef was still serving dishes.

But Hobert held his chopsticks and sighed: The conversation just now always had a sense of deja vu to persuade the street girl to be good.

Those theories have been in his mind for a long time, just like the "Rose School", a path full of curses and malice, can it still be divided into "temperance school" and "indulgence school"!

In Hobert's view, under the influence of the original gods and the distorted nature of Extraordinary characteristics, this Extraordinary world has formed some black and white values.

Belief in the "Goddess of the Night" cannot believe in the "Lord of Storms", and belief in the "Goddess of the Earth" cannot believe in the "God of Wisdom and Knowledge".

Hobert had seen too many people offering offerings to Shakyamuni and Guan Yu. Of course, more offerings were to Guanyin, but there were also statues of the Kitchen God, and door gods on the door.

However, such offerings are indeed only suitable for the world of "God in the spiritual realm".In this world where gods can affect reality, it is indeed not suitable to believe in several gods at the same time.

But in Hobert's view, as long as the witch has a positive channel to digest the potion, it is no problem to establish a church that can be generally accepted by the people.

Just like "God of War" does not still have a description like "Twilight of All Things", "Lord of Storms" also has a description of "Lord of Natural Disasters" in his obedience, and "Goddess of the Night" also has a description of "Empress of Calamity and Fear".

Hobert deeply felt that some Extraordinary people are just one-sided, always trying to find the most worry-free and labor-saving way to face the distortion brought by the potion.

It's okay to have a high-sequence person with divinity, the key point is that some have the rationality of normal people, and Extraordinary people with free thoughts will indulge themselves and gradually lower their moral standards.

If they could bother more, their image and their situation would be completely different.

What Hobert said just now was actually expressing his inner thoughts. Although he had just become the lord not long ago, he already had a lot of new ideas.

In his view, as long as it is beneficial to himself and the people, he can use it.

Hobert believes that in the future, in his own territory, there cannot be only one belief in "Goddess of the Earth", which will make it difficult to control the power of the church.

While thinking, Hobert filled his stomach and finished his lunch, only to realize that there were a lot of dishes left at noon today.

So Hobert called Philip over: "Let's wait... and distribute the extra food to the villagers who are waiting outside and haven't eaten."

He originally wanted to let the villagers waiting outside come in to eat, but it might be difficult for the housekeeper and the villagers to accept that, so he changed the way.

Philip bowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the villagers."

Hobert waved his hand, chatted with Fors a few more words, and then sat back on the chair in the yard to start his afternoon "work".

Just this afternoon, Hobert noticed that the eyes and clothes of two villagers were not quite right, but he did not investigate immediately, but continued to sit there, acting as mascots
After finishing the registration work in the afternoon, Hobert called Philip: "Give the workers a day off and tell them that the day after tomorrow is the funeral of Viscount Wright's family, and let them all come to attend the day after tomorrow."

Philip felt that the lord's order was intentional. Although he didn't understand the lord's intention, he respectfully agreed.

The household registration work lasted until Friday morning, and it was basically over.

In the afternoon, Hobert only left three tables, enough to deal with the sparse registration.

Everyone else started to count and organize household registration.

Hobart was feeling the digestion of the potion.
