Chapter 596: 596
In the morning, Zhang Lisheng looked at Charlot's old face that was hidden in the shadow of the robe and said with a smile, "Charlot, this is the second surprise of today . You actually took the initiative to offer me advice . Don't worry, I know what I am doing . "
"Your Majesty, the roots of all countries in the Green Leaf Mainland are aristocratic families, even those countries that claim to be 'Republic' are no exception . For thousands of years, many lord families are the only soil that produced elites in this fertile soil . Scholars, knights, and the vast majority of spellcasters were rooted in this class . Now that you're plundering the land and wealth of the nobility and distributing it to the poor who can't even read, you can indeed get their faith very quickly, but if you keep doing so, even if you can conquer the entire mainland, it'll still only destroy the civilization of the mainlander . In the end, what you'll obtain is a huge enclosure that is used to feed livestock . . . " Charlot continued to advise him .
After hearing these words, Zhang Lisheng's happy mood became unwittingly irritated, "I understand all of these things that you said but until now, in these more than ten countries that the Wizard Li have conquered, other than those quacks and swindlers who only want to gain advantage in this confusing situation, none of the real aristocrats are willing to yield to my ruling . These guys will do as I told when I tell them to draw a simple 'L'-shaped human-headed snake figure on their chests before they talked in the public, they will go to the temple every morning to pray, and they would rather work hard in the field and be bullied by the former lowly people than taking back the rights and wealth from my hands . What can I do?"
"Your Majesty, you should know that if an aristocrat surrenders to the barbarians, it would mean that the brilliant achievements created by all their ancestors would be destroyed, and the whole family and future generations will always bear the nickname of 'human traitors' . . . "
"Charlot, I'm a god, not a small barbarian spiritual monster," The youth corrected him in great displeasure .
"This is the most important point of the matter," Charlot said aloud . "Even I only found out that you're actually a great newly born god recently after I've started to peek into all of the Wizard Li's secrets . How can the other mainlander realize that you're actually not like those other spiritual monsters in history who would claim to be gods to invade the mainland but a true god?"
The old man's loud voice echoed on the streets where only footsteps and whispers could be heard . At once, he attracted a lot of attention .
"You're too loud, Charlot," The young man complained in a low voice and increased his pace . The old man could only shut up and follow carefully behind him . Both of them strode between the crowds and soon came to the city center square .
In the distance, the Wizard Li craftsman had transformed the Furoh Hall into a dome shape in the shape of a wheatear . The remaining pillars were also filled with walls, leaving only eight huge square doors in the direction of north, south, east, and west .
Bathed in the golden sun, the temple looked magnificent and sacred . However, when one walked into it and left the warm sunshine, the enormous bloody battle drawings on the walls of the hall, the rough black slab stone covered with shiny luster on the ground, and the human-headed snake god statue with cold eyes were looking at the people with its head held high, that was several dozens meters tall . These were all erected in the center of the temple, combined together, and gave off an unexplainable sinister, tyrannical feeling .
The morning prayer ritual worshipping the Wizard Li's god was not complicated . There was no extra ceremony, and there was no need for any priest to preside at all . The believers only needed to kneel respectfully in the temple and shout the words, "Great Wizard Li Majesty, you're the only belief in my heart . You're the only overlord and support safeguarding my fate," 100 times .
However, although it was said to be 100 times, in actual fact, after several dozens of times of repetition until their throats became parched, most of the false believers would already be eager to stand up and to leave the temple with their heads bowed down, so they could start a day of hard work .
Stepping into the noisy temple and watching the mainlanders who were leaving in a hurry, Charlot who was beside Zhang Lisheng sighed and muttered, "Your Majesty, a god's statue should give off a feeling of holiness, purity, benevolence, and compassion, so it would be easier for your believers to accept you . Your temple is just too gloomy . "
After saying so, he gradually kneeled down .
"Charlot, what I need is not the acceptance from my believers but their full submission and reverence . Besides, how can you possibly understand the beauty of 'brainwashing'?" The young man smiled and replied . When he was about to pretend to do the same thing to kneel down, his body suddenly froze as astonishment crept upon his face when he looked into the distance .
In a hundred meters away, a poverty-stricken old man, whose face that was covered in wrinkles kept twitching involuntarily, who had a dirty beard of more than one foot long tangled together under his chin and a body covered with soil, wearing a long robe that was so worn out that its original color could no longer be seen, was praying and worshipping the Wizard Li's god statue .
Because of his dirtiness, there was a small open space around him in the crowded temple .
