Chapter 12 Exposure
In Osgard, temples will directly affect their respective living conditions due to the number of local believers. For example, temples with more believers often have more resources and development conditions, while temples with fewer believers are often neglected and coldly treated.
The god of fraud and lies, Rigi, had few believers in Bella Oka, which resulted in the fact that the temple gates here were deserted, and there were even fewer clergymen stationed. Apart from the necessary temple guards, there were no other extra clergymen except for the priests who performed their duties. Unlike the temple with many believers, it was as lively as a market market every day. The number of clergymen responsible for receiving believers could form a new temple.
Alex was the last person to receive the awakening ceremony on the day of the Temple of Reggie. After completing the awakening ceremony, the old priest who presided over the first step because there were other things to deal with. He seemed to have no concern about the two people left in the auditorium. After all, blasphemy is a very serious crime in this era. Anyone who dares to commit rashness in the temple will still kill him even if the other party is a godly follower.
So people in the temple would not have thought that someone would blatantly "turn through the cabinet" under the god's nose to explore the secret of the awakening ceremony! It was more than a month later when the people in the temple discovered something strange.
...
Although the temple will be affected by the number of believers, it does not mean that the power of the gods is the same. In fact, the power of the gods gifts has different differences, and the specific situation is directly related to the priesthood of the gods.
Take Alex's God of Fraud and Lies as a believer, Alex's power focuses on disguise and changes, especially in underground activities in spy assassination, but his career choices vary from person to person. As Alex, who has just successfully transformed into a favored god, it will take him a long time to become familiar with his power.
When Chen An asked about the specific changes in his body, Alex naturally said it without reservation.
First of all, Alex felt full of strength, as if he was reborn, and at the same time, his senses and reactions became extremely sharp, and his brain thinking became much more flexible and clear. The most intuitive example is that the financial and mathematical problems that used to be like listening to heaven can now give answers quickly.
After many tests, Chen An, who knew Alex's condition, inexplicably recalled the protagonist in a superhero movie on Earth. However, compared with the protagonist who was transformed through experiments, Alex's physical fitness is far inferior to the other party, but he has certain advantages in other aspects. Both have their own advantages.
"An! I plan to be familiar with my body and strength during this period, and follow some experienced divine followers to go to the Demon-Sealing Tower for training, so I may rarely contact you in the next days."
After Chen An held a real celebration dinner for Alex, when he left, Alex hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak to Chen An.
"Have you experienced it? That's good. After all, you have become a divine follower. Sooner or later, you will go to the Demon-Sealing Tower to break through. Your future destiny is tied to this. Now I can only wish you a safe and smooth journey in the future." Chen An was stunned for a moment, then patted the other person's shoulder and sighed.
"An! Don't worry! I will never forget you when I make a name for myself in the future." Alex smiled confidently.
"I'm optimistic about you too!"
After saying that, the two of them said goodbye.
When I got home, night had already fallen, and the moons hanging high in the night sky shone the earth like daytime, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see the road clearly. Unfortunately, there is no concept of nightlife in this era, and it is difficult to see pedestrians on the streets after night.
Unlike ancient China, Bella Oka does not have a strict curfew and household registration system. Even if you encounter a security team patrolling at night, you don’t need to worry too much. If you honestly report your identity and then bribe the other party, the patrol team will basically turn a blind eye and let you go. This is the skill Alex taught him.
In general, Bella Oka's public security is pretty good. As long as you don't commit suicide, wander around in areas with harsh public security environments, or just pick out remote alleys to hike and kidnapping, criminal incidents such as robbery and kidnapping will naturally be far away from you. Since Chen An came to this world, except for someone stolen money several times, he has never encountered serious violent crimes.
After returning to his snail residence smoothly, Chen An lay on the simple bed without any sleepiness. He stared at the low ceiling above his head, and his mind drifted to the secret found under the stone slab of the temple.
What was under the slab? He didn't want to keep it in hiding, and didn't tell Alex because this secret exceeded the other party's cognitive limitations, and even Chen An himself could not explain it clearly.
Do you believe that there would be something like the integrated light path full of science fiction in the medieval world?
Chen An could not determine the specific name of the integrated light path under the stone slab, but this thing definitely involved the genetic transformation of the human body. The moment he saw them, the truth behind the layers of fog in front of him seemed to be revealed.
Gods? Demons? Perhaps the biggest lie in this world!
For some reason, Chen An, who has always pursued a plain life, suddenly found that he was uncontrollable and excited. The strong desire for exploration in his heart made him desperately want to know the secrets of gods and demons, and all the truths about this world!
However, reason tells yourself not to be impulsive and not to take risks. If you still want to continue the stable life in front of you, then you must abandon these dangerous ideas, otherwise you are heading towards a path of no return to seek death.
Even if the gods are not real gods and demons are not demons, they are definitely not existences that they can deal with.
well--
After a fierce ideological struggle, reason finally prevailed. With a long sigh, whether it was regret or unwilling to accept it, with complex emotions, Chen An slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Afterwards, his life returned to his usual state. After Alex stopped contacting him for something, Chen An spent all his spare time in the library. Although he was determined not to explore the secrets of gods and demons and the world, in order to satisfy his inner curiosity, he began to read a large number of books involving gods and demons, hoping to get some clues from them.
After such days lasted for a while, one morning in Xueyue (December), Chen An, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the loud knock outside the door again.
"Who!?"
Chen An, who was lying on the bed, screamed in a daze!
Bang--
Suddenly, the door kicked open suddenly. Before Chen An could react, a figure rushed to Chen An's bed and pulled him up!
