This path also requires powerful military force, but it also requires miracles to conquer many nobles, which other descenders cannot do, whether they are humans, sons of nightmares, or sons of the spirit realm.
Normally, it is impossible to show extraordinary miracles in a world without magic, and it is difficult to conquer nobles and other people in power by spreading faith normally without miracles.
But Lin Xiao is different. He has the magic cube of good fortune to transfer, and can continuously obtain energy to support the use of extraordinary props.
There is no need for powerful extraordinary power. In a world where no extraordinary power has ever appeared, some low-level spells or divine effects can conquer many civilians.
For this missionary work, Lin Xiao's true body carefully selected a batch of alchemical potions and passed them to the incarnation through the magic cube of good fortune.
This alchemical potion called the Breath of Savage Beasts has the effect of strengthening the physique and strength. The grade itself is not very high. It can strengthen the physique and strength of a standard adult man by about two to three points. The specific value depends on the absorption.
Although it is not as good as the knights in this world after strengthening, it is already an elite warrior second only to the knights.
Besides, this is just the beginning, just a preliminary strengthening. In the future, if they can meet Lin Xiao's requirements, he will prepare more powerful alchemy potions for them.
Although the strengthening of alchemy potions has a limit, and it will not exceed the sixth-order extraordinary level at most, it is completely sufficient in this world without extraordinary power.
Then, he selected fourteen sets of standard armor and weapon sets that are both exquisite and powerful in defense from the weapons and equipment library prepared by the Red Furnace Clan. This set of weapons and armor are all carefully forged by the Red Furnace Clan. With their craftsmanship, the defense of this armor is comparable to plate armor, but the style is light armor, and a set of strange patterns are imprinted on the surface, which has the effect of calming the mind.
Of course, this calming effect is redundant here, and it will not work when it is transmitted to the competition plane.
It was already a month and a half later when Lin Xiao received the things sent by the real body. At this time, he not only had a very good understanding of the Gibson Barony, but also officially gained the first batch of believers.
Yes, after a long period of subtle influence, he finally had the first batch of formal believers. A group of villagers established a faith connection with him and began to contribute the power of faith.
The line of faith connected by this believer did not connect to the real body outside the world, but directly connected to Lin Xiao's incarnation. In order to distinguish it from the real body, the name of the god he spread was the God of Life and Wisdom.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Xiao found that the power of faith provided by the humans in this world was far lower than that of the human race in other foreign worlds, only about one-third.
He guessed that it was not because of the human race in this plane, but because of this crystal wall universe or this plane. It was probably because of the plane suppression, plus the suppression of the crystal wall universe itself.
Although it was a little small, Lin Xiao was still very satisfied. One-third is also faith. The quality is small, but the quantity makes up for it.
In fact, strictly speaking, having one-third of the power of faith is already very strong. In some worlds, the faith model is not supported at all. In those worlds, no matter how devout the faith is, it will not generate the power of faith.
After one and a half months of training, the difficulty became higher and higher. Only half of the first batch of more than a dozen strong men in the village persisted. Later, some villagers who began to have faith joined the training team, but most of them could not persist. Finally, when the training acceptance ended today, a total of fourteen people persisted, including four middle-aged men.
Lin Xiao treated everyone equally and did not eliminate them because of their age.
In this world where the average life expectancy is not long, people in their forties are already middle-aged and elderly, but for Lin Xiao, it is still useful. As long as he uses alchemical potions to strengthen himself and keeps exercising, his life span will naturally increase. In
the early morning of this day, he called together fourteen villagers who were already his subordinates and began to distribute weapons and armor.
The exquisite armor and sharp weapons were quite novel to the villagers who had never seen them before, especially when he deliberately demonstrated the magic of taking them out of thin air, which made them awed.
As his subordinates who he had trained for a month and a half, these fourteen people had already established a line of faith with him and were already formal believers, and they were all true believers.
For Lin Xiao, true believers under his direct line were the lowest standard, and this was still not easy to spread in this foreign land. In the divine domain, only the most devout and senior devout believers were qualified to join the church and become knights.
Along with this set of weapons and equipment, there was also a set of formal breathing methods, which he secretly learned from the Gibson family castle when he had time, and then slightly strengthened and transformed it into a new and powerful breathing method with the magic cube of good fortune.
He named the new breathing method "Seed of Life" and taught it to them. From now on, this will be the standard breathing method of the Knights of the Church.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Early in the morning of this day, villager Xiao was preparing to go out to start a new day of farming. As soon as he went out, he heard the headman calling him and asked him to go to the village with his family to gather.
In this world, the headman of the village is generally someone who has power, force, or is highly respected in the village. When the headman summons them, they have no choice but to obey.
Xiao quickly woke up his sleeping children and wife, put on his clothes and went out together.
The sky was still dark, and only a few stars could be seen clearly. Every household around had already gotten up and walked towards the village. A neighbor saw Xiao coming up and greeted him and asked:
"Xiao, do you know what the headman wants us to announce? Is the baron going to fight again?"
Xiao shook his head:
"I don't know."
But for some reason, he thought of Lord Roll who had always lived at the village head. When he thought of Lord Roll, he thought of Lord Roll distributing food to everyone from time to time. His eldest son was training with Lord Roll and was now very strong. He had surpassed himself unknowingly.
Thinking of this, Xiao was very relieved. Although he was against his eldest son's training at the beginning, it was a pity that his eldest son could not inherit his farming skills, but he could learn skills from Lord Roll, who looked like a master, and he would definitely be stronger than himself in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao thought of the God of Life and Wisdom that Lord Luo Er had mentioned. This was a god he had never heard of, but Lord Luo Er was so capable, so this god must be very powerful.
He could not help but silently recite a few words in his heart and quickened his pace.
When Xiao arrived at the entrance of the village, most of the villagers had already arrived. He saw several village leaders gathered with Lord Luo Er to discuss something.
But his eyes were quickly attracted by the dozen or so warriors wearing exquisite armor and weapons that he had never seen before, and they all exclaimed in amazement.
"Oh my God, Xiao, is that your eldest son? He is wearing armor too."
The neighbor's exclamation made Xiao feel surprised and happy. An inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. He nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, that's my son."
"Oh my God, is your son going to become a knight master?"
Unconsciously, the neighbors' names changed.
At this moment, Xiao felt that his choice was very correct. In his heart, he unconsciously made another decision.
Especially when he heard that his neighbor regretted letting his son go home to farm and miss this opportunity, he became more determined.
Not long after, people arrived one after another. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiao said to several heads:
"Please announce this news, heads."
All the heads nodded. The village chief took a metal scepter and stepped forward. He slammed the scepter on the ground. The village chief's authority made the villagers look solemn, and the small noise disappeared instantly.
The village chief nodded with satisfaction and said loudly:
"After discussing with the heads, it was decided to build a temple in the village to worship the God of Life and Wisdom. In the next month, each household will send a laborer to help. Mr. Luo will prepare food."
Yes, today, Lin Xiao is ready to officially start the religion, named after the God of Life and Wisdom.
The villagers did not object to this news. After one and a half months of preparation, almost all the villagers have benefited. With the support of the head of the village, no one will object.
Starting from the second day, each family sent a laborer to build the temple. It could be the male head of the family, or the son, or if there was no girl, he would treat them all equally.
Of course, considering the different work, those who did the heavy work would definitely get more food.
The temple built was certainly not the kind of grand temple. It was just a slightly larger solid stone house with a statue of God inside.
A small village could not afford to build a big temple.
But this small solid stone house was the first step for him to open up faith and establish a parish in this world, and it was quite critical.
While the temple was being built, Lin Xiao took four men and left the village to the distant mountain. He needed to get a big stone to carve into a statue.
Surrounded by four men, Lin Xiao held a wooden scepter in one hand and a beautifully designed big book in the other hand, which was hung on his body with a chain. He was no longer wearing the armor he wore at the beginning, but a robe with a strong religious flavor. At first glance, he looked like a wise and prestigious person.
Now that he has made a good start, with his subordinates following him, he does not need to fully arm himself.
Moreover, his weapons and other things are all stored in the space of the Creation Cube, and he can take them out at any time when needed.
The group of five people left the village along the path connecting the village to the outside world. Outside is an endless wilderness, where wild beasts roam in the wild, and occasionally they encounter wanderers who work as part-time robbers.
In the previous one and a half months in the village, he had seen wild beasts running to the vicinity of the village and causing panic no less than ten times, and wanderers were also seen twice. At most, there were a dozen wanderers with weapons wandering around the village.
The level of civilization in this world is similar to that of the ancient times in the main world and the European Middle Ages. This world is ruled by theocracy and noble lords.
Lord Lin Xiao has seen Baron Hermann Gibson when he went to Gibson Castle to steal the breathing method, but the indigenous church in this world has never seen him.
