I Have a Sailing Game
Chapter 457 - 276: The Situation in the Sea of Confession
Sorry? Sorry for what? To whom? Why say sorry?
A lot of doubts suddenly arose in Rogel’s mind.
Doyle carries a heap of astonishing secrets.
From the recent interactions and probing with Doyle, Rogel faintly felt that this Doyle might not be the Doyle described by Svika.
Has the soul undergone a change?
"Forget it."
Rogel shook his head.
Since they’ve reached this point.
The final truth is already not far away.
...
The Gelin sets off again from Gabriel Island.
Next, they’re heading to their destination this time — Rose Island.
It’s also the place to break Mira’s curse.
Since Gabriel Island, Mira’s mood has been hard to calm.
Although she’s smart, this is a condition she’s had since childhood, and not long after she stood up recently, she now sees hope for completely eliminating the ailment, so her emotional fluctuation is understandable.
"Don’t worry, everything will be fine."
Lina patted her hand, comforting her.
Rogel also gave her a slight nod.
Mira’s curse is inseparable from Doyle.
In his "friendly exchange" with Doyle, he also pressured him about this matter, although Doyle didn’t give an answer, it seemed hurting Mira was not his ultimate motive.
Planting a curse on Mira must have other purposes...
"Phew..."
The evening sea breeze carried a hint of chill.
Rogel stood by the deck, feeling the sea breeze, but couldn’t help but recall the figure on the burning scaffold...
...
There is still a long way to Rose Island.
They’ve not even reached the boundary of the Mire of Decay.
So, Rogel also began dealing with his daily duties as the "god" of the Church.
[Faith Source: Heisatan (your Clone)]
[Actions available: Summoning of Believers, Creation Prayer, Believer Promotion, Performing Miracles... (click for details)]
[Favored: None]
[Power of Faith: 286507]
[Fanatic Believers: 2146]
[Devout Believers: 8945]
[Believers: 534743]
[You already possess a sizeable community of believers, perhaps you should make some preparations before taking the crucial step.]
Below the faith interface, the game also provided a hint.
Counting from the establishment of the Black Tide Secret Society, it’s been almost half a year.
Anyway, most of their voyage is just sailing at sea, with rare encounters of sea monster storms, so he has plenty of time.
The Black Tide Secret Society has developed step by step under his watch.
"The crucial step... Demigod huh..."
Rogel slightly smiled.
Indeed, after dominating Black Tide City, the faith controlled by Heisatan significantly increased.
The number of Magrela’s believers simply cannot compare to the believers brought by Black Tide City.
The group just liberated from oppression practically reached an extremely fanatical idolatry towards Rogel and Heisatan.
Moreover, this idolatry and belief are constantly enhancing with various measures implemented on the island, making them increasingly devout.
This was not Rogel’s initial intention.
But he had considered the reasons for such a situation.
Ultimately he discovered that it is almost inevitable.
Thinking from a different identity, being a slave oppressed generationally and cut off from advancement, when suddenly faced with such a savior, the idolatry and belief are almost instinctual.
Not to mention that this is a mysterious world inherently possessing Extraordinary Power and divine beings.
People’s faith would only become more fanatical because of this.
Therefore, after taking over Black Tide City, now Heisatan’s believers have reached over six hundred thousand.
This faith foundation, though still insufficient to supply a demigod’s needs, can indeed start preparing.
However, Rogel is not planning to do so yet.
It’s not the time yet, at least stabilize the basic faith before proceeding.
"Time to approve the memorials."
Rogel sighed slightly.
Although a joke, it’s actually somewhat similar.
As a spirit of faith receiving beliefs from tens of thousands, daily prayers to Rogel are practically countless.
And these prayers comprise many kinds.
But Rogel simply divided them into two types — those requiring no response and those requiring response, then subdivided them further.
Those not requiring response are naturally some prayers of praise and psychological calming prayers.
For example, liberated people expressing praise and gratitude towards Rogel for releasing them from oppression.
Or a wife sincerely praying for her husband’s safety while away... and such.
These prayers, Rogel naturally doesn’t need to respond to.
When people praise you, as a divine being, must you specially say thank you?
As for the latter type, Rogel can indeed do something, like blessing her husband, etc.
But it’s not necessary.
He’s only a faith, not a nanny, no matter how strong, energy is limited.
Anyway, such prayers are mostly self-comforting in nature.
Therefore, no need to respond.
Of course, there are also some ridiculous prayers.
Like wanting the Master of the Black Tide to grant him a beautiful wife without any offerings, threatening to die if not granted, they exist too.
As they say, in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds.
To such prayers, Rogel used to respond occasionally when feeling amused.
Now that the domain is larger, managing more people, he’s too lazy to bother...
Secondly.
Are the prayers requiring response.
