[There are shadows of people mingling under the host stage, and all the seats are packed. 】
[In the front row are eleven black-robed disciples and three red-robed elders, followed by a crowd of apostles who came to watch the ceremony.]
[You are standing on the hosting stage, and next to you is a hazy figure in gray robe...]
[Messiah:...The old world is about to be destroyed, and every devout apostle has hope of stepping into the door of the new world.]
[The twelve disciples who followed the Savior had the strongest faith and were the first to enter the new world and spread the gospel. 】
[Today, we will witness together the birth of a new defender...]
【……】
The gray-robed man who presided over the ceremony, codenamed ‘Messiah’, is the leader of the new world, the Lord.
Lin Xun didn't have any sense of piety, and secretly complained that the "New World" was indeed a villain organization, and even the coronation lines sounded so evil.
The lines of the coronation ceremony were extremely long, and he felt sleepy while waiting. He couldn't help but secretly thought that since the lines of the ceremony were so long, it was no wonder that the Lord refused to crown other disciples later.
【……】
[For the most devout defender of morality, we should call his name with a sacred voice...]
[Please choose your ‘holy name’ again!]
【1.Judas】
【2. Rudas】
【3.Loreamon】
【4.Guzman】
【5.……】
Lin Xun regained his energy and recalled what Yamos had told him before.
Although his name as the Blood King is resounding, it does not meet the standards of a disciple's name. A seed player like Amos has already decided on his 'holy name' before becoming the eleventh disciple.
Even many discipleship candidates who have confidence in themselves will change their "holy name" before deciding to participate in the election.
After choosing the 'Holy Name' in the new world, his codename will no longer be 'Blood King', and everyone will call him the 'Holy Name'.
Lin Xun was a bit picky about the selection of vest names. He was not satisfied with any of the names in the list, and even randomly generated the list several times before choosing one he was satisfied with.
He hesitated for a long time before pressing the option.
Suddenly a private chat box popped up from the side.
[Messiah: Still haven’t chosen a holy name? 】
Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth and replied decisively.
[Blood King: My lord, can you not change it? I think this name is quite good now.]
[Messiah: No, everything must be according to the rules. 】
Lin Xun could only press the random option like crazy, hoping for a vest that would be more pleasing to the ear.
The selection took a long time, so long that even Yamos in the audience couldn't help but send a private message to ask if something happened.
Lin Xun finally found a name that he could barely hear, and it had the same meaning as his Blood King to some extent.
[You have chosen the holy name—‘Cain’! 】
[Messiah: The twelfth disciple’s holy name is ‘Cain’. He will follow the savior devoutly and spread the gospel of the new world...]
【……】
"Cain, if you round it off, it's equal to the Blood King!"
Lin Xun is quite satisfied with this new vest. The most important thing when he comes out to work is to have a good reputation.
'Cain' is much more powerful than Amos, Vessinus and the like.
If some unknown newcomers join the new world, Lin Xun might be able to absorb some confused and ownerless lambs with this name.
It's a pity that there are no names like Jehovah, Tathagata, Odin and Zeus among the holy names, otherwise he would choose a more awesome one.
【……】
[Messiah: The savior will not only give great teachings to devout defenders, but also give divine authority to steadfast disciples...]
[You have obtained the ‘Disciple’s Holy Robe’ (special equipment)]
[You have obtained the ‘Disciple Crown’ (special equipment)]
[You have obtained the authority to operate the ‘Disciple Stigma Brand’! 】
[You have obtained the operating authority of ‘Congress Hall No. 12’! 】
Lin Xun was startled.
Let the Lord continue to preside over the ceremony while he opens the inventory to view the newly acquired equipment.
[Disciple's Holy Robe (Special Equipment): There is a small mark of the sacred flame on the left chest of the black robe. The flame represents both the destruction of the old world and the birth of the new world. 】
[You can hide the mark of the ‘Holy Flame’ at any time, and the holy robe will appear in the form of an ordinary black robe. 】
[Wearing this equipment, you will be able to hide your ‘soul mark’ and show it to others as your ‘holy name’. 】
[The effect of the holy robe can not only cover the 'Book of Letters', but also the 'Book of Competition' and any invasion function! 】
[Disciple Crown (Special Equipment): There is a brilliant flame-shaped gemstone in the center of the gorgeous crown. The flame represents both the destruction of the old world and the birth of the new world. 】
[You can set the crown to invisible state, and the equipment can still function normally. 】
[Wearing this equipment, you will be able to know the basic status of your apostles who have been marked with the ‘stigma mark’, including ‘soul mark’, ‘current difficulty level’, ‘number of passes on the current difficulty level’, etc. 】
[Please note that the two special pieces of equipment cannot be abandoned, dropped, traded, etc.]
"The new world... is really amazing."
Lin Xun saw the effectiveness of the two special pieces of equipment, and finally understood how Yamos had learned about his 'King of Flames' vest before.
I finally know why Amos considered his talent to be particularly outstanding among the many apostles.
It turns out that as long as they are branded as designated disciples, the disciples can learn the 'soul marks' of their apostles.
You can also see what difficulty level the apostle is currently on and how many times he has cleared the current difficulty level.
However, the information obtained through the 'Stigmata' still has limitations, and the specific chapter numbers and clearance evaluations cannot be obtained.
But just like this, the lamb in the sheepfold is as if it has been shaved, and there is no secret at all.
Fortunately, he changed from a naked lamb to a herder, and from the perspective of a worker to a capitalist.
The ceremony came to an end, and finally the coronation ceremony officially ended in a harmonious and sincere prayer that "the new world will eventually come."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The man in gray robe beside him disappeared, and a group of people dispersed in the council hall. Most of them stayed here to send congratulations to him.
Lin Xun looked at the speeches of a group of strangers and couldn't tell who was who. Fortunately, Yamos, an experienced driver, led the way and introduced them one by one.
[Moses: The holy name ‘Cain’ is so good. At first glance, you can tell that you are a devout disciple who is deeply loved by the Lord! 】
[Yephite: I have a hunch that after the next disciple war, the position of ‘Cain’s’ twelfth disciple will have to be moved forward. 】
These two are Moses and Yephit, one of the eight knights of the Templars.
The Templars are the core military organization under the Presbyterian Church. Apart from the major disciples, they are the frontline military force that fights against the government.
[Noah: It's a pity that I didn't discover 'Cain' earlier, otherwise 'Cain' would have definitely joined the Presbyterian Church... I have to say that 'Vessinu' is really lucky. ]
[Barsaba: This is wrong. If it were my apostles who led 'Cain' into the organization, how could it be 'Vesinus''s turn? Let alone your Presbyterian Church! 】
As soon as Noah, one of the three elders, spoke, he was choked and refuted by Barsaba, the second disciple.
【Wesinu: Haha!】
【Yamos: Haha 1】
Lin Xun suddenly became the most popular person. The warm atmosphere was not like a gathering of villains, but like the major warlord consortiums trying to attract a rising star.
[Barsaba: ‘Cain’, I have added you as a friend. You can pass it later and we can get closer and closer. 】
【Noah: I added it too.】
【Moses: Same as above!】
【……】
Lin Xun was dealing with the enthusiastic villain apostles, but he didn't expect Yamos to send a private message.
[Yamos:... Damn it! These people left without even saying hello after my coronation ceremony. How come they are like licking dogs when they come to your place and can't even drive them away? 】
[Yamos: Don’t be fooled by the appearances of these people. They are actually demons who eat people without spitting out their bones. 】
[Only me and Master ‘Wesinu’ treat you sincerely...]
[Cain: Brother, don’t worry, I won’t be bewitched by those coquettish bitches. I was born as a person of Lord ‘Vishinu’, and I will die as a ghost of Lord ‘Vishinu’! 】
[Yamosi: I knew you were a person who valued love and justice. 】
Lin Xun wanted to say, no, I am a white-eyed wolf, but at this time the third disciple Wesinu also sent a private message.
[Wesinu: Yamos has always mentioned you to me, saying that you are the strongest competitor among the candidates, and has repeatedly mobilized resources from me to invest in you. Facts have proved that Yamos’s vision is indeed unique, and yours is indeed
He is indeed a rare person with potential!]
[Wesinu: You are very good! I heard from Yamos that you are in Hangzhou. I will go to Hangzhou in a while. I happen to have a few idle equipment and props that I can give you to use. 】
[Cain: Sir! It’s too expensive! 】
[Wesinu: It’s nothing. Although you and I are superiors and subordinates, I haven’t seen such young people get along so well for a long time. 】
[Cain: Well, my subordinate actually wants to say that it’s too much trouble for you to come to Hangzhou... How about you send it to me directly from the ‘Book of Letters’? 】
[Wesinu: Haha, let’s talk about it when we meet. 】
[Wesinu: Soon the Reformed Church will allocate lambs to you. If you can't manage them, you can recruit a few capable assistants from Amos to help you herd them temporarily. ]
[Cain: Yes, sir. 】
After socializing in the council hall for most of the day, all the forces finally left.
Amoz and Vessinu took him and chatted for a long time, as if they were afraid that the twelfth disciple, who was "favoured" by the Lord, would change his family and join the Presbyterian Church or other disciples.
For this reason, ‘Wesinu’ even made a promise that he would share the profits of some of his lambs with him, but these promises could not be fulfilled until he met the base offline.
After he was the only one left in the council hall, Lin Xun began to think about the newly obtained 'disciple authority'.
One is the ‘Stigmata Brand’, and the other is the operating authority of ‘Council Hall No. 12’.
The 'Stigmata Brand' is equivalent to the ear tags and markings on the lamb. Putting the 'Stigmata Brand' on the apostles under his command means that the lamb already has an owner.
Although he is the last seat of the Twelve Apostles, the status of the disciples themselves belongs to the top of the pyramid.
Except for the three elders who were on equal footing with the disciples, even the great knights among the Templars had to treat him with respect when they saw him.
The disciples ranked at the bottom are not necessarily as powerful as the great knights, but their potential is definitely to kill the great knights instantly.
Disciples are the top herders. The moment Lin Xun became a disciple, the original ‘stigma mark’ belonging to Amos was automatically erased.
In the future, he will join the ranks of his masters, expand the pastures for grazing, increase the number of lambs under his hands, and become a "qualified" sheepherder.
If the 'Stigmata' are the marks on the sheep, then the 'Congress Hall No. 12' that belongs to him is the sheepfold.
Here he can summon his apostles to perform a quarterly ‘dedication ceremony’.
There are usually two ways for disciples to shepherd. One is to fish from the lake, collecting all the spiritual devotion of the grassroots apostles and using it to strengthen themselves.
The other is sustainable development, where part of the donated spirituality is returned to the apostles under their command in the form of rewards, allowing the apostles to have excess spirituality to strengthen their strength to advance to the next level of difficulty and create longer-term benefits in the future.
Most of the disciples used the second way of grazing, and Amos suggested the same to him.
However, Lin Xun is very clear about his position. He is not a true apostle of the New World. No matter what sustainable development you want, just gather more wool if you can.
Why leave your spirituality to the enemy apostles?
Every little bit of spirituality left behind will turn into bullets fired at the official apostles in the future.
"It is absolutely forbidden to support the enemy. I don't like spirituality. I am just a porter of spirituality..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Another reason why most disciples choose the second herding method is to train their own team to cope with the future ‘disciple war’!
‘Disciple War’ is one of the fastest ways to expand your pasture!
The 'Disciple War' is also the bloodiest battlefield. Each disciple participating in it will use all his strength to kill the other party and inherit the other party's lamb.
Another way to quickly expand your pasture is to fight against the authorities to gain merit points and ask for lambs from the Reformed Church.
Lin Xun didn't want to take the latter approach. Although he could quickly obtain a large number of lambs by acting against the authorities and earning merit points, the risks involved were too great. If the secret was revealed, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
In contrast, killing other disciples can not only weaken the power of the hostile organization, but also improve one's own pasture. Rounding it off is equivalent to improving the official's strength.
In the 'Disciple War', we not only need to look at the strength of the disciples, but also whether they are on the right side.
Fortunately, the 'Vesinu' faction to which he belonged was not weak among the disciples and was the largest in number.
The third disciple, Vesinus, was in the upper seat, the eighth disciple, Matthias, was in the middle seat, and Amoz and him were in the lower seat.
One of the great knights under the Presbyterian Church also belongs to the ‘Vessinu’ faction.
The 'Vesenus' sect alone occupies four of the Twelve Apostles.
Although Amoz, the eleventh disciple, and he, the last disciple, are both relatively 'weak', at least they have an advantage in terms of numbers...
After thinking about the 'disciple's authority', Lin Xun returned to the library.
There is an additional list named ‘Cain’ in the Book of Letters, which has received a large number of friend requests.
However, the names applied by these people are all slightly familiar code names.
After he passes the application, both parties will be able to communicate by ‘code name’.
It is worth mentioning that if you enter these code names during an invasion, you will not be able to lock the enemy apostle.
Only by knowing the true soul mark can we conduct a targeted invasion.
Lin Xun smiled slightly and clicked to agree.
Undercover, you have to truly integrate into the hostile organization to be considered an undercover!
He can use the big tiger skin of "Lord" to build good relationships with other disciples.
Even if the 'Vesinus' faction were defeated in the disciples' war in the future, he would not worry about finding a new home.
"I feel like I can't take off the title Erwuzi..."
After passing the application, Lin Xun spent a long time chatting with these elders and disciples, and finally got some free time.
He reported the progress to his female boss, but unexpectedly received an invitation from the headquarters.
Invite him to go to Yunjing and join the official core organization - the 'Apostolic Committee'!
