I Persuade People With Reason

"…His Holiness Pope, the expansion and development of our Truth Seminar has been about the same for four full months since its establishment? That's it. Violet City has been completely under control, and the five nearest cities are already under control. Half included in our radiation range..."

In the quiet manor, only Ibet, the head (head) seat (number) person (worker) (worker) (tool) (person), seriously reported the situation.

Holding a booklet in his hand, he stood upright in the yard, and read the details recorded in the booklet to Yuan who was lying on the chair beside him without listening.

The original one was listening, and the other was lying lazily, holding a slender fishing rod in his hand, and the other end of the fishing line was immersed in the pool in front of him.

The fish could be seen swimming in the pool.

The holy pond that was once soaked in blood by the Mingyue Church and used as a sacrifice has long since disappeared, replaced by such a simple small pond.

At first, it was just to satisfy the Pope's new hobby of fishing, so Ibet put a lot of fish here. As a result, other devout believers who were fortunate enough to come here did the same, and brought a fish they raised when they came, as if to express their piety in this way.

And it is probably near Zhu Zhechi, who has been raised by the devout followers of the truth seminar all day long. He listens to them chanting and praying every day. All the ponds began to be filled with the power of faith, and became another kind of "holy pond", and even the fish here were different.

It's not that the intelligence was turned on in a short time, but the deliciousness of the meat has been improved by a level. There is a faint tendency to transform into supernatural flesh and blood.

This made the original intention of hanging the fish twice on a whim, and it seemed a bit unstoppable. There seems to be a tendency to develop it into a long-term hobby.

—Although the fishing level of the original is not good?

-Only relying on the vicious aura in his soul that sees who swallows who, but any life with a certain sense of perception will only want to hide away, not close.

- Fish: Scared. jpg

For example, at this moment, Yuan Buwei lowered his head in anguish, looked at the little fish that fled frantically towards the edge of the pond after avoiding his fishing line, and let out a sigh of loss:

"Don't all say that the World Caretaker is blessed with amazing fortunes. It's like a rhythm of a heartthrob. How did you get here? Me? Something's wrong here? I'm afraid I'm not a fake World Caretaker?"

He shook his head in disapproval.

Yuan Wuwei whispered to himself, but Ibet didn't hear it clearly, but didn't ask. He knew the attitude of inaction. Those who should be told will definitely tell them, and the thing that is too lazy to explain is that? #Tool people don't need to know so much?#.

So he just does his own work, such as reporting on the development of the practitioners at this moment.

Ibet continued to speak seriously: "So far, the practice department has grown to 519 members, including 400 official practitioners, and 1100 editors who have not passed the inspection. Nineteen..."

The editors in his mouth include the prisoners recruited during the expansion of the truth seminar, as well as the extraordinary people who took the initiative to join the truth seminar. Most people often have to accumulate a certain amount of contributions through tasks and find out their innocence. There is an opportunity to become a formal practitioner.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

The rippling sound of the water seemed to accompany him.

A burst of water splashed from the pond. It turned out that it was because it moved an inch to the edge of the pond at some point, and the fish in the water suddenly ran faster one by one.

A few drops of water splashed on the boy's feet. His eyelashes were drooping, and his drooping eyes? Quietly stared at the fleeing school of fish. It gives the illusion of grievance and innocence.

As a result, even the fish in the depths of the pond were scared away.

Wasn't it: ? ? ?

Looking at the scene of "fish hating fish" in front of him, Ibet showed an embarrassed and polite smile, slightly turned his eyes away, and pretended not to see anything.

But how could he not notice if he didn't do it? His thoughts?

Yuan Bu felt that his identity as the protagonist of his era was strongly challenged. Even the fish are not convinced by him!

"It must be that my fishing posture is wrong..."

The boy adjusted his sitting posture and spoke confidently. At the same time, the fishing rod in his hand also turned around.

The invisible magic energy elements in the air quickly gathered, and continued to extend along the fishing rod, and finally converged at the hook. The extremely dense magic energy elements almost made the pool surface appear faint of mist.

- This high-level energy naturally attracts low-level beings, making them eager for the transformation of life.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

This time, the waves on the water surface were more than twice as intense.

The fish that had dived into the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace were rushing out like sharks that had smelled blood, and they all converged towards the hook.

A bunch of chubby fish circled around together.

Originally, Shi Shiran picked out the three fattest fish from the air, and a brisk smile appeared on his lips: "As expected, the fishing posture just now was not right. No, change the posture, today's lunch delivered to the door."

Ibet opened his mouth with a smile on the side, and the moment he opened his mouth, it smelled like an old rainbow fart: "His Excellency the Pope is wrong, isn't he? He changed his posture, as long as there is no one else, this lunch Yes? It will happen sooner or later. In the past, His Holiness the Pope was not serious, but now you really want to fish. The fish raised in our holy pond are all serious fish that have been nurtured by devout beliefs. Lord Pope Bai's mind, isn't this just scrambling to send it up?"

[Ah this...] At this moment, System 999 was shocked by his ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

System 999 is on its back.

It feels that its number one licking dog position is not guaranteed. Even the demon map is no longer the "biggest" threat.

"Cough, what you said makes sense." It wasn't because he silently dispersed the magical energy elements gathered around him, as if he hadn't done any small actions, but he nodded solemnly and responded, "I was devoutly believed in. Educated believer fish, this ideological awareness is extraordinary."

He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you continue to say, what did you just say? What's going on?"

Ibet also replied along his topic: "In the past two days, a new batch of official practitioners are inspecting. The number of personnel is increasing, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger. After screening by everyone, we have found several talents with outstanding strength. I wonder if Pope, are you interested in visiting in person?"

... just to let the Pope move the nest and go outside to relax, so don't always harm innocent fish.

It was not for a moment of indifference.

Since the establishment of the truth seminar, except when he catches the evil god, he will take action. At other times, he is a hand and a boss. Everyone's ability squeezes everyone's potential... At this moment, he rarely has a conscience to go online for a second.

He nodded: "Then go have a look."

·

Don't look at the fact that it has only been established for four months, and it has really begun to rise? It is only more than three months. Due to someone's inhumane use and oppression of the tool people, the structure of the truth seminar from top to bottom is already well-established. so.

As the small town of Konya, the base camp, only the most devout believers are qualified to know; most ordinary believers are hidden in various branches-that used to be the territory of other denominations, truth seminars Destroyed them, and took over everything from them by the way.

And Yuan Buwei's true appearance and identity are known only to the first group of believers who were rescued by him in the Mingyue Church, not even the townspeople of Konya. As early as the night of the Gold Judging Chamber of Commerce, their will was silently affected by the filthy words, and it was absolutely impossible to reveal everything about the original inaction.

Therefore, even for many official practitioners, the truth of the truth seminar is half-concealed, and it is even more mysterious and unusual for this Pope.

Somewhere in the Violet City Truth Symposium branch.

The two, who had already changed into the black robes and crow masks that the members of the truth seminar wore as standard, walked all the way into the deepest part of the hall under the astonished eyes of many members.

Even if it is the same black robe, the patterns on the robe, the shades of color, and even some special signs are all different. This makes it easier for the Truth Seminar to differentiate between members.

However, this does not mean that you can easily impersonate someone else by changing into someone else's robe, because everyone's mask is an extraordinary item bound by blood. Even if this is only the most useless extraordinary item of the lowest rank.

- For other sects, this may seem like a rather extravagant move, but in a state that was not today, it is easy to enchant ordinary items into supernatural.

Because of the different signs, Ibet's arrival immediately made everyone recognize the identity of the chief preacher.

The identity of the other person who can be treated respectfully by him is self-evident, and it can only be the mysterious Pope of the Truth Seminar.

Numerous? Eyes have been cast towards the two of them. To be precise, most people are looking at the original and not doing it.

After all, Ibet, the number one tool man who was squeezed into a dog, is not surprising in the eyes of the family, and can be seen almost as long as he is on a mission. However, this reclusive Pope, who rarely appears in front of people, is rarely seen.

One? Time, everyone's eyes are different.

But most people's eyes are full of excitement and excitement. Whether it's because of the ambition to climb up in an organization or because of the piety of true believers, there's no one who doesn't want to make a good appearance in front of the Pope and gain his respect.

Among the excited and enthusiastic gazes of so many people, it is not surprising that several gazes from the corners were also very excited. Logically speaking, none of them will attract the attention of the original.

But he didn't do it, but he just noticed it.

Not only did he notice it, he also quietly cast his gaze over and saw the three men in black robes standing together. Like every devout and fanatical believer, they looked at Yuanbuwei with excitement.

- No way, these people are really too strong in the sense that they didn't do it. It was like three beams of lights in the dark night, making him unable to ignore it even if he wanted to.

"The feeling of deja vu..."

Inexplicable, why didn't he recall? Not long ago, he was suddenly born on a whim. It seems that there is some existence of the same level indirectly connected with him.

So, what caused him to feel at that time was these few people, because they came to their own territory, and they obviously missed him?

"—The people sent by the True God Sect? Or, the tool people who devoured the Serpent of the World???"

Ming Ming is not completely compatible with this world, it has the aura of laws of other worlds other than the void, but it is not an outsider who is rejected by this world... The only thing that can make such an arrangement is the world's intentions of this world? Consciousness itself, there is only the world-devouring snake that has control over most of the world's authority.

The most surprising thing is that these three people have an aura that he is very familiar with. That is clearly the same breath as the devil's seed.

The Devil's Seed contains a trace of Dao Mark, which is a positioning mark cast by a certain Great Dao Lord.

It is impossible that there is another master of the Dao who forcibly marked the tool man who devoured the world-devouring snake? !

The only explanation is that the seed of the devil came from the world-devouring snake, and it was a special item used by the world-devouring snake to mark and transmit tool people. Just as System 999 is to a mechanical master.

If I didn't guess I was right, as long as the demon seed was awakened, it would be equivalent to throwing himself under the command of the world-devouring snake, and at the same time the whole person was marked by him, he was able to freely enter and leave this world.

The relic handed down by the Red King is actually a tool used by the world-devouring snake to mark the tool man? ? ?

This means that Yuan Buwei's previous guess is indeed true. The heroic deeds of the thirteen kings of sin at that time were indeed directed and acted by the snake that devoured the world.

However, since the Red King did not choose to use the Devil's Seed, and wanted to destroy it several times in the past year, he finally chose to leave it as a relic to his descendants, and told him that it can only be used when the world is facing destruction. Meaning, he's not an outright betrayer.

His position is likely to be? Stepping on the boundary between black and white, for some reason, he learned the truth of the world, and received the gift of this demon seed—he is the protagonist of the era, and he is indeed good enough to receive? The solicitation of the "Snake that Devours the World" is not surprising.

However, Chi Wang did not choose to betray this world, but he also gave up hope for the future of this world. In the struggle between hope and despair, loyalty and betrayal, he chose to escape, leaving this choice to his descendants... Maybe this is the nature of human beings?

A deception that is still unforgettable before death, declaring that the truth is only despair, the seed of the devil that has not been destroyed after several hesitations, the mark of the Dao mark of the snake that devoured the world...

When all the clues are in front of you, the truth is about to come out—

When the evil **** came, the world was severely damaged, and the protagonist of the era who entrusted the world's care to become a hero to defeat the evil god, finally found that everything was just a deception, and the truth of the world was hopeless despair.

The evil **** extended an olive branch to him, and he was silent.

Neither willing to tell the truth to dash the hopes of the world, nor betray the world that gave birth to him and raised him, in the struggle of reason and emotion, man's own selfishness prevailed, he himself died as a hero fighting for this world, but The olive branch of the evil **** left to his descendants, giving them another escape route in the future.

- When the world is completely in despair, they will be able to choose to board the evil god's ark and enter the land of hope.

"According to the rumors, King Chi seems to love his little grandson very much?... Really? It's a lot of hard work."

It's not that I can only utter such a sigh.

There was no obvious emotion in his tone.

However, the eyes he stared at the three people were obviously full of deep interest, and even Ibet noticed it.

Yuan Buwei just stood there, his eyes not blinking for a moment.

Ibet couldn't help looking sideways at him, and consciously followed his line of sight and said, "That's the three non-staff members who joined five days ago, a wandering knight, an alchemist, and one? A mage...but the power they master seems to be a little different from the common ones, and it seems to be some special inheritance."

During this period of time, Ibet, whose cultural knowledge level has been rising, is very clear that many closed families in the Neisser era are like this. They have their own inheritance system and never teach others knowledge and power.

It's just that since the fall of the gods, the harsh mainland environment has forced everyone to communicate with each other, so many systems have become popular. But it cannot be ruled out that there are still closed families who refuse to communicate until now. At the same time, there will also be some lucky people who accidentally get the inheritance of the Neisser era.

These three people are the latter.

The information he investigated showed that there was no problem with their origins. In the past, it was an adventurous mercenary group that accidentally obtained the inheritance of the Neisser era, but offended another person who also discovered the inheritance. That person knew a certain A member of the True God Sect with neither low nor high status, so that they were hunted down by the True God Sect. They fled to Violet City in a hurry. When they heard the news of the truth seminar in the dark world, they chose to join the truth seminar to gain asylum.

And the strength and potential they have shown are indeed impressive, which impressed Ibet very deeply.

Of course, the most important thing is?—

"These three people have a very correct attitude. Since joining the Truth Seminar, they have completed their tasks seriously. They really want to become a member of the Truth Seminar, rather than temporarily borrowing us to hide from risks..." Bette gushed about his praise, and was very satisfied with the industrious work attitude shown by those few people.

Maybe this is the mutual appreciation between the society and the animals?

"However," Ibet frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "they seem to be worried about the pursuit of their enemies, and can't wait to improve their status in the truth seminar, so they also want to join this investigation and become the official executive officer. Daoist. Considering that their time to join is too short, I rejected them. But they have not given up and applied for several times... Just today, the Pope is here, why not you? to decide?"

"Okay, just promise them?"

He didn't want to, but he answered succinctly.

"The joining time is short, the tasks to be completed are few, and the accumulated contribution points are not enough... This is not a problem. I believe that as long as the determination is firm enough, more tasks can be completed in a short period of time and enough contribution points can be accumulated. Then let them participate in the inspection and have the qualifications to become official practitioners, why not?"

"—What do you think?"

Yuan Buwei's gaze crossed Ibet, looked behind him, and suddenly asked.

Ibet was startled.

Turning around and looking around, I found that the three protagonists who were still discussing just now have come over at some point, and are looking at the Pope next to him with fiery eyes, while completely ignoring him. living people.

That look, it's almost like a poor ghost sees a gold mine and almost drools out.

Ibet turned his body subconsciously, and blocked the Pope quietly behind him.

The three seemed to be completely unaware of his small movements, and when they heard the words that Yuan didn't ask, they nodded like chickens pecking at the rice: "Okay, okay." "We can!" "We will definitely be able to become official practitioners during this period of time!" "The Pope, please give us any task you want! We promise to complete it!"

Yuan Buwei didn't seem to be surprised by their reaction, and even praised with a chuckle: "Our members of the Truth Seminar should be so motivated."

He looked at Ibet and said indifferently: "Okay, since the newcomers are so motivated, we can't dampen their enthusiasm. Who said that you can't become a formal leader with a short joining time? As long as you work hard, hope is still there? Well. Come, come, give them a copy of the task list of our truth seminar, put the most troublesome contribution value on it, it is best not to choose too far away, be sure to save their time …”

...This subtext is to squeeze these few tool people in the shortest possible time, use their promotion heart, and be sure to squeeze them clean!

...Anyway, when will the goal be achieved, and how much? Less tasks will get the inspection, isn't it? He has the final say!

Yuan's attitude seems very approachable. There is no arrogance and arrogance of being a pope.

He even gave them a rare encouragement.

But the three of them felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

Ibet gave a few people a sympathetic look.

He has fully grasped the meaning of the original. But I don't know why, when I think that I can distribute so many tasks, how much joy is there?

Although it doesn't seem likely to lighten the burden on him. But? See? Others are about to be squeezed, why? Can't help but want to laugh.

…Oops, morals have slipped.

Aware of his schadenfreude, Ibeite couldn't help but glance at the original, and sighed silently in his heart: QAQ, I'm dirty.

He tried to salvage his shaky conscience: "It's too hard for them..."

The three almost couldn't wait to start answering:

"It's not difficult or difficult, we can do it!" "Don't worry, Chief, we just have to complete the task without eating or drinking!" "Yes, just trust us!"

Saying so, they looked at Ibet with suspicion in their eyes. Wouldn't this chief executive be? Because their potential was too strong, felt threatened, and deliberately blocked their promotion, right?

Ibet, who saw this suspicion: "..."

...Forget it, we cultists have no conscience.

He silently pulled out a thick to-do list.

First, I looked at the three people who were about to face a tragic fate, but they were inexplicably excited without knowing it, and then looked at Shi Shiran's Yuan Buwei, in the cheerful atmosphere, Ibet showed a strange expression. ? A gregarious smile.

...Alas, after all, one person carried it all.
