Chapter 564 Chapter 564 – Missionary
“Excuse me… have you heard of the great Ruler of Nature?”
The girl’s gentle voice sounded from where she stood. Orith was a little dumbfounded. He subconsciously turned around and looked at the Lord of Darkness.
On the side, the Lord of Darkness had a faint smile on his face, but he still looked like an ordinary child. There was nothing unusual about him. Seeing this, Orith could only bite the bullet and turn around. He said with some trepidation, “I’ve never heard of…”
Orith and the Lord of Darkness had naturally heard of the Ruler of Nature. They had not only heard of him but had also come into contact with him personally.
As one of the gods of the Dark Domain, the Lord of Darkness and the Ruler of Nature, who represented the natural domain, were not considered mortal enemies, but their relationship was not very good.
This was decided by the camp and not by the individual will. As a god, when he was at his peak, the Lord of Darkness had naturally come into contact with and even personally met the Ruler of Nature.
As for Orith, although he had not come into contact with the Ruler of Nature, he was not unfamiliar with the reputation of the Ruler of Nature.
In this era, those who could serve as god priests must have some understanding of the various gods. He did not dare to say that he knew them like the back of his hand, but at the very least, he had to have a rough grasp of their lives and the authority they held.
Otherwise, when the enemy comes to you one day, you might not even know it. However, he was playing the role of an ordinary old man at this moment, so naturally, he couldn’t tell the truth.
“That’s great.”
Hearing Orith’s words, the girl’s face showed joy, and then she said, “Gentlemen, please allow me to take a moment of your time. Let me explain to you about our great Ruler of Nature…”
After saying this, she began to explain, starting from the origin of the Ruler of Nature and giving a general introduction.
Is he trying to recruit us into the church?
Orith and the Lord of Darkness looked at each other. At this time, they felt extremely strange. The girl wanted to recruit another god into her church and become a follower of her god. Was there anything more ridiculous than this?
Orith’s mouth twitched. Looking at the girl who kept talking, he opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt her, but he stopped after thinking about it.
The role he was playing now was a refugee who had fled from afar. With such a status, facing a noble priest, he should not have the courage to interrupt her. Therefore, Orith resisted the strange feeling that arose in his heart and listened to the other party’s words to maintain his persona.
Moreover, the girl in front of him was not only talking to them but also to the other people who had gathered. The girl’s face was flushed red as she kept singing praises of the Ruler of Nature’s achievements in the crowd. It looked like she was giving a speech.
“As long as you are willing to join our church, you will have the opportunity to receive relief every month. Come to the temple and have a free lunch…”
After a speech, the girl said the most crucial last sentence. Immediately, the people who were not interested immediately stopped. They looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other’s eyes. It was the feeling of being moved. Soon, the crowd dispersed. A few people left with the girl. It seemed that they had gone to the temple of the Ruler of Nature to register.
Orith let out a sigh of relief and then continued to move forward. However, not long after, another kind-looking old man in a long black robe came over not long after.
“Dear friend, have you ever been troubled by your illness?”
The old man walked forward with a kind smile and a faint aura of divine power lingering around his body.
This was undoubtedly the priest of another god. Orith’s body instantly froze. At this moment, he vaguely knew what would happen next. Sure enough, everything that happened next was as he had expected.
The old man in front of him was the priest of the God of Potions, and he was also here to preach. After a long while, Orith finally got rid of the priest. Together with the Lord of Darkness, he walked to the side with some fatigue and carefully glanced at the Lord Darkness.
Beside him, the Lord of Darkness still had a smile. He was in high spirits, and there was not the slightest hint of unhappiness. This made Orith secretly sigh in relief.
However, the previous experience had also made Orith somewhat tired and vigilant. To avoid encountering a similar situation, he changed his previous strategy. He no longer pretended to be a pauper. Instead, he directly spent money to find a guide. There were many such people around. In this city, because the number of immigrants was constantly increasing, many people specialized in doing business with these people.
Orith managed to find a decent guide without spending much money.
“Look at you, sir. Haven’t those missionaries harassed you?”
On the way, the guide saw Orith’s unsightly face and immediately guessed his experience.
“Sorry, our priests here are a little too enthusiastic compared to other places.”
“Too enthusiastic?”
Orith lowered his head and recalled what he had experienced before. Then, he could not help but nod in agreement. Looking at the time, he could be considered a person who had lived for hundreds of years, but he had never seen such an enthusiastic priest. He had openly recruited people into the church on the street. This was a little too much for him.
“Oh right…”
Orith thought of something. “Why are there so many churches here?”
Faith had a certain degree of exclusivity. In most cases, there would only be one mainstream faith in a region, and the faith of the other gods would be expelled.
But in the place in front of him, Orith had already seen three priests from different churches. Such a situation was undoubtedly extremely rare, and it made Orith curious.
“This…”
The guide was not surprised by Orith’s question. He immediately said subconsciously, “In the Hatim Kingdom, there is a missionary law personally formulated by the King of Hatim…”
