Regarding gods and beliefs, Zong Shen's views have not changed from the beginning to the present.

That is "keeping a respectful distance".

That means maintaining the necessary respect and distance, not rejecting contact, but never getting too close.

Therefore, Zong Shen would never blindly introduce religious forces into his territory.

Divine power will inevitably affect royal power.

He wants to have absolute control over his territory.

Instead of instilling faith and advocating devotion to gods.

The citizens can only fight for Zong Shen or themselves.

The development routines of the lords are varied, some are step-by-step, and some are unconventional.

Among the billions of lords, some have chosen to rely on surrounding church forces or introduce faith to their territories.

The advantage of doing this is that you can quickly hug the lap of the aborigines.

Reduce the difficulty of early development.

Become branch faith forces under various churches.

But the price is that the loyalty of the subjects often "deteriorates".

Faith and loyalty are intertwined, making it impossible for most territorial citizens to raise their loyalty to more than 95 points.

Moreover, if the faith is allowed to spread unchecked in the territory, if the lord decides to break away from the church's influence in the future, he will suffer the backlash of a sudden drop in loyalty.

To get something, you have to pay something.

The religious characteristics of the [Sacrificial Raven Statue (Special)] in front of me are too obvious.

Not suitable for public display in the territory.

However, Zong Shen can consider taking it back and placing it in the small world of [Dimension Seed (Special)].

Then raise a group of ravens to transform into frost ravens.

The frost raven in the territory is already an "old employee". Not only does he breathe cold air into the ice cellars every day and act as a "beastly" refrigerator, but he also has to go to the workshop to help.

There are many times where you need to use cold air to cool down.

In particular, blacksmith shops and mechanical alchemy workshops have a strong demand for the cold air breathed out by the raven.

It can be said that a magical beast like the Frost Raven itself has great labor value.

There is no merit, but there is also hard work.

Whether it is Mai's [Raven Pendant (5th Level of Shining Light)] or this [Sacrificial Raven Statue (Special)], they can attract ravens within a certain range nearby to gather here.

Including the statue itself, it also has the function of promoting the reproduction of ravens.

This seems to be a characteristic of the Calamity Raven Church.

I think it was the same when I was in Odo Village.

After the construction of the Raven Tower in the center of the village was completed, ravens from hundreds of kilometers around were attracted.

Circling around the top of the tower.

Ravens are also a good flesh and blood material for sacrificial rituals.

It can also serve as a scout for investigation.

It can be said to be quite versatile.

The little raven has an inconspicuous appearance. It is distributed in many places in the Endless Continent and has many subspecies.

But although there is nothing unusual about a single raven, it is different once it forms a number and scale.

"This statue is good."

"How many are there in the valley?"

Zong Shen looked at the shining golden statue, turned to look at Mai Yi and asked.

Upon hearing his words, Mai Yi was startled.

Then he realized what Zong Shen was planning and quickly stepped forward to hug the statue.

"One in each of the two churches."

"But the significance of this statue is extraordinary. It was cast when the religion was founded."

"Later, after the church branch on Calamity Island became estranged, the gem of the Frost Eye was taken away."

Mai Yi looked panicked, but she didn't expect that Zong Shen even wanted to move the statue.

But Zong Shen grinned and showed a smile.

"This place is too remote and not suitable for believers to worship the gods."

"I do know a good place..."

His smile was gentle and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But in the eyes of Mai Raven, Zong Shen has the shameless face of a gangster.

The angry words were stuck in his throat, and the invisible bond prevented him from venting his anger.

"The base of the statue is connected to the foundation of the temple."

"Moving at will will not only alert the temple guards, but also easily cause the old bishops in the frost state to revive early."

"Their strength is much stronger than mine. Even if their lifespan is short, they can still burst out the final fireworks."

Mai Raven said almost through gritted teeth.

Zong Shen listened to him casually while looking at his loyalty change prompt.

His previous verbal attacks did not make him lose his loyalty.

But when it came to moving the statue, Mai's loyalty was shattered.

It dropped directly from 60 points to 54 points, leaving only 4 points left before the rebel line.

It can be said to be hovering on the edge of the rebel line.

Zong Shen didn't take his threatening words to heart at all.

But seeing Mai's panicked expression, he felt like a super villain.

But then I thought about it, the Calamity Raven Church is also a murderous organization.

For those beings who were captured and sacrificed, Zong Shen's behavior was a good deed.

He felt at ease picking up the wool.

In the final analysis, instead of talking about good and evil, you still have to rely on your ability to speak.

After thinking for a moment, Zong Shen took a decisive step forward.

The expression on Mai Raven's face became visibly tense.

Taking away the idol in front of him is no less than slapping him with a smelly shoe in front of everyone.

As a bishop of the church, if you can't even protect your own idol, then what's the point of life?

But someone from Zong said with a half-smile.

"You want to stop me?"

"Did you forget that Frost Ancestral Dragon?"

His words suddenly shocked Mai.

The scene of Zong Shen killing the Frost Ancestral Dragon was recalled in his mind.

He is no match for such a terrifying guy.

Facing Zong Shen's nakedly aggressive gaze, he finally chose to let go.

Then he stepped aside without saying a word.

There was even a reminder in Zong Shen's mind that his loyalty would be increased by 2 points.

Mai Raven is a guy who only eats the hard stuff and not the soft stuff.

If he is really on the verge of being beaten, this kid will suddenly become "irrational".

Too lazy to continue teasing him, Zong Shen stretched out his hand and planned to put it into the storage compartment.
