Chapter 736 Religion is a reflection of the economic base
Herlous snorted coldly and said:
"Do you still want to continue? Although I have consumed a lot of energy before, I still have enough strength to suppress you all."
Movendica wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bowed to Herlous and Wisdom Shield, and said:
"It's me, Meng Lang. I was too anxious to know what that shadow that suddenly appeared was. I was also afraid that if that evil creature appeared next time, it would not only devour the thoughts of a god, but an entire country."
This Mo Vendika is indeed a charlatan, he is very eloquent.
He immediately labeled Squidward as an evil spirit, and at the same time not only explained his own behavior but also gave himself a good reputation.
It is no wonder that their Church of Light is now the most powerful force on the continent.
With just his eloquence, I wonder how many fans he can gain in this era when people are still not enlightened.
Huidun sneered and said:
"Then it seems that I should thank the Venerable for turning me into an idiot."
At this time, the city wall was very quiet. As soon as Mo Vendica's words came out, the faces of the soldiers around who heard it also showed expressions of understanding.
However, as soon as Huidun said this, these people immediately reacted, and the disgust on their faces could not be suppressed at all.
Under the new policy implemented by Huidun, these people entered the factory and received generous remuneration for their labor. They all knew that it was Huidun that brought them a good life.
And now, when they heard that this so-called Venerable wanted to turn Huidun into an idiot, didn't he just want them to return to the days when they were oppressed and exploited by the nobles and officials?
Now, no matter whether he is God's spokesperson or not, in their eyes he is an enemy who is preventing them from having a better life.
Mo Vendica naturally sensed the emotional changes of these ordinary people. He frowned. He had used this trick in other places in the past and it always worked.
I don’t know why it lost its effect in this remote country today.
In fact, it still remains the same: the real reason for people to be devoted to religious beliefs is not how eloquent the bishop is, but whether the ruling class really wants to let the lower-class people live a good life.
He didn't know whether it was because the empire had existed for too long and they had been suppressed too harshly, but the nobles he had met in the past turned into mad dogs once the empire was gone, making life miserable for the people under their rule.
Now they had a religious foundation, so they were able to develop rapidly in just over a hundred years and become the largest force.
But Huidun was different at this time. Because of his background, he had seen too much of the warmth and coldness of human nature since he was a child. Although he was also a noble, he himself was more disgusted with the noble group.
Then, with the influence of Chen Cheng, a man with 21st century civil rights ideas, Huidun became more inclined towards ordinary civilians.
So under Chen Cheng's suggestions and his actions, Huidun City underwent a major change, and the civilians who were originally serfs were transformed into workers.
Then, by encouraging trade and formulating corresponding laws and regulations, these people suddenly experienced what it was like to be a real human being.
It can be said that the demands of the lower-class people in ancient and modern times are very low. As long as they can be a human being, have a job and have food to eat, that is the best life.
When life is good, the fear of God in your heart will naturally decrease.
So the religious issue is not a social issue, but an economic issue.
But Mo Vendica didn't know that if he allowed Huidun to develop, he would be really digging up the roots of religion.
"Alright, old charlatan, if you don't order them to stop, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Liuyun casually slapped a Dharma Master hundreds of meters away with his palm, then turned around and shouted at Mo Vendika who was still mumbling there.
"Everyone go back."
Following Mo Vendika's order, those Dharma Masters who still wanted to attack Liuyun retreated one after another, and the Dharma Master who was knocked away by Liuyun also flew back.
"Honestly, old charlatan, all of you Dharma Masters are completely covered by this thing. You move like wooden people. I really doubt that there are wooden people inside."
Mo Vendica apologized to Huidun, and then flipped his hand and a polygonal prismatic crystal appeared in his hand.
"This is a magic crystal that contains my full-strength attack. Consider it my apology to Your Highness."
As soon as Mo Vendika said this, the eyes of the two elders who followed him lit up.
This is a full-strength attack from a legendary figure, and can be regarded as the most important trump card.
Although Huidun was very tempted, he was also cautious.
He looked at Herlous beside him.
Melos then said to Movendica:
"This item is too valuable, and Your Highness is not a believer of your religion, so you should take it back."
After hearing Herlous' words, Huidun knew that this crystal must be extraordinary, so he followed Herlous's words and said:
“The elder is right, no reward without merit.
If Your Excellency truly feels guilty, then please consider that most of those affected by this disaster are believers in God and extend a helping hand and provide them with some supplies."
Huidun is not a person who just wants to do the job and will not allow Mo Vendika to sell a good image here.
As soon as he said this, many ordinary people who had been kneeling on the ground praying stood up.
They may have been ignorant before, but now that Huidun and Mo Vendica were sniping at each other through the middle of the goal, it was clear to them that they could understand the meaning behind their words.
It is clear that the priests and bishops whom they consecrate have not stood up for them like Bishop Jamil before him.
When Mo Vendica saw this, he knew that he had lost the battle in words again.
But he immediately made up for it:
"This is only natural. In fact, our sect has already prepared a large amount of supplies, but they have not yet arrived."
Then Mo Vendika stopped talking to Huidun. He needed to go back and think about how he lost to Huidun in the verbal battle.
Not long after he flew away, Laden, the supreme elder of the Academy Alliance, flew over.
Bin Laden's appearance was not as pretentious as the previous two. He did not release any demigod pressure, but landed directly in front of Wisdom Shield.
After greeting Huidun and Herlous, he took out a space ring and handed it to Huidun, saying:
"These are some disaster relief supplies and materials for the reconstruction of the academy. I only brought these supplies because of the tight schedule."
This time, he immediately surpassed Liuyun and Mo Wendika.
When the soldiers and ordinary people heard this, their eyes were filled with gratitude.
Huidun is not an ungrateful person, and in this battle to defend Huidun City, Dean Adolf and his men's defensive magic circle played a great role.
So after he took the space ring, he spoke to Bin Laden with a very respectful attitude and words.
