The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 377: Bell Ringer
It was different from the previous "battle" that was similar to pushing and shoving with Nicholas.
Although Bernardino was the Pope, Zhi Ji showed no mercy when she attacked him.
A large part of the reason for this is that the bell ringer, as the "god of terminal illness and death", is a false **** without any backer, no prosperous church, and no main god.
Although Bell Ringer and Paper Girl are false gods who ascended in the same era, they are not familiar with each other.
And unlike Paper Princess, who accepted Yaweng's invitation and received a day of protection and was promoted to a slave god... Although the Bell Ringer was invited by the three righteous gods of Bone Burial Granny, Silent Lady and Moth Mother, he was not invited in the end. Take any olive branch.
Being invited by the three righteous gods is not because of his good character or ability.
Just because its field is quite critical... and the classification is very vague.
Zhiji still remembers that the Bell Ringer’s book of truth is called "The Theory of Gray Blood". It contains truths about disease, apoptosis, blood, weakness, aging, destiny and many other fields. It is a very powerful book of truth.
When the Bell Ringer finally completed his sublimation, he chose "predetermined death" as his core concept.
So he eventually sublimated into the "god of terminal illness and death" and the "bell ringer" who tolled the death knell for mortals who were dying.
That is a lone false **** with an eccentric personality, loneliness and few friends. Not only does He never take the initiative to create a church, but even the people who create a church for Him will not receive any additional benefits and protection - even the Holy Light Seal is rarely given to believers in addition, but is completely purified Only after the nightmare can you get the corresponding holy light mark.
Generally speaking, false gods will issue Holy Light Marks to believers they are satisfied with. After all, the False God Church does not have so many rules and regulations, nor does it have a fixed territory, so they will act more casually.
For believers that you are satisfied with, even mortals and extraordinary beings who are not your followers, you will also be given some Holy Light Marks. As long as it's pleasing to the eye, there's nothing you can't do.
After all, the essence of the Holy Light Seal is the authorization of God's power to believers. The reason why the mark of holy light is given after purifying nightmares is actually because the gods get some of the benefits after purifying nightmares and give corresponding rewards to the priests.
It is like purchasing raw materials and preparing for secondary processing by a factory that gives a certain amount of remuneration to the seller of the raw materials.
The Holy Light Seal is just "currency".
It's not that you can only get it through nightmares.
Even in the Orthodox Church, you can obtain Holy Light Marks by completing tasks within the church.
It’s just that the Orthodox Church must have rules and clear rewards and punishments. Every Holy Light Seal given is recorded by the Pope... Even gods cannot grant gifts at will, and can only reward people within the church. Otherwise, it will interfere with the authority and work of the Pope.
In other words - in the Orthodox Church, the gods themselves do not participate in the management, and are entirely entrusted to the Pope's management, and even the cardinals are difficult to contact.
It's like the relationship between a celebrity and his or her fan base.
The same is true for God.
Not only can you get shelter from God.
Their Lord God will also allocate some personnel directly from the main church to help them take care of the believers and clergy. It's like signing a contract with a big company...you don't need to worry about anything in the subsequent operations.
This is also the reason why the papal authority of Zhengshen is much higher than that of kings——
——The pope and saint of the righteous **** are the real rulers of this world.
The wild false gods are completely different.
The false **** himself will directly participate in the management of the church.
Except for the fact that the Pope is the keeper of secrets and cannot betray easily... even the cardinals may defect; and there are no rules for selecting cardinals. They basically depend on the Pope or the false god. Eye rim.
In other words, it just needs to be pleasing to the eye.
For example, the tragedy writer, or the Pale Princess.
Taking into account the need to relocate at any time, the size of the false god's church is extremely small - most of the clergy (not believers) who can falsely **** have less than three figures. From this perspective, Fufu can be regarded as a weird one among the false gods...
The bell ringer is a weirdo in another sense.
But it is not because He abides by the rules that He is alienated from His followers...
It's because of his extremely eccentric personality.
Except for necessary social interactions, He does not communicate with anyone - nor does He expect his followers to do anything to help Him.
He even maintains his own domain by himself.
There is a folk legend that when a mortal is tortured by a terminal illness and is dying, or is about to die without any disease or disaster, before going to bed the night before his death, he will occasionally hear three sounds from outside the door. The low toll of the death knell. And except for the dying people, no one else can hear the bell.
This is the mercy the bell ringer gives to the dying person.
He revealed the final death and gave people the last day to write their wills and account for their funeral arrangements.
This is why, in the Misty Continent, it is considered very impolite for those ignorant children to ring bells or bells in front of the door of the elderly or patients.
And for this reason, the clergy of the Bell Ringer are very unpopular.
But even so, He still has some fanatical believers who believe that "all people are mortal". They spontaneously make bronze bells with bronze handles, rely on divine magic to identify dying people, and go to their doors to knock on them. bell.
——And even if you do this, the bell ringer will not give any reward.
Because what He himself believes in is that the end will eventually come.
No help needed.
No promotion required.
No resistance required.
—Therefore, He does not need any followers.
He even gave himself the name "Bell Ringer." You must know that "guy" in the context of the United Kingdom is actually a quite bad derogatory term, referring to "a mean and despicable person".
For example, the gangsters refer to the poor boys who steal and rob; the boat gangsters refer to those who drive black ships to smuggle goods and kidnap women.
The followers of the bell-ringer are even less popular than the followers of the cup-bearing woman - as long as you see those people holding copper bells, wrapped in bandages and wearing black hoods, they enter without saying a word. If you reach the village, it means someone is going to die.
Although the Bell Ringer is not an evil god, he has never done anything illegal.
But it's just not likable.
After He rejected the invitations of the three righteous gods, no **** could become friends with Him. However, there were several gods who were angered by his weird temper.
The Pope as a bell ringer... is not necessarily a good identity.
Think about it this way. ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan does not believe that it was the bell ringer behind Bernardino who was looking for the Book of the Sky Wheel.
"——So, what is the purpose of you coming to me?"
Facing Bernardino, whose spirits had been annihilated by Paper Princess and who was bound by countless silver chains, Annan told all his analysis.
He stood behind Zhi Ji and asked calmly: "The Book of Heavenly Wheels is here with me. What do you want to do?"
"I warn you, don't take advantage of Annan."
Before he answered, Zhi Ji warned: "Otherwise, even the bell ringer can't protect you."
But Bernardino just showed a weird smile.
He smiled hoarsely and asked: "Don't worry about my words...
"How about you just kill me?"
