Unknown Knight

Faced with the direct kneeling on the ground, Aix was immediately stunned. Not knowing what was going on, he immediately returned to the City Lord's Mansion and summoned Atiman for questioning.

As a result, although Atiman had heard about it, he was probably always busy with government affairs and did not understand the specific affairs of the people.

He also comforted Aix by saying that this was normal. Normally, the subjects would kneel down when they saw their lord. Moreover, there was probably no other lord like Aix in the world who provided food, shelter and clothing. It was normal for the subjects to kneel down to him out of gratitude.

But Aix still felt something was wrong. He had abolished the kneeling ceremony in his territory. The faces of those kneeling subjects showed not only gratitude, but also respect and even flattery.

Can you imagine a dozen men and women kneeling down, looking up at you with gratitude, admiration and flattery, especially more than half of them are men? Uh, just thinking about that scene gives me goosebumps.

Fortunately, Bandak, who came along, cleared up his confusion and handed him a relatively detailed investigation report.

If Aix didn't see it, he would be shocked. It turned out that he didn't know since when, believing in Lord Aix, "the Great Good Man Suno, the Son of Odin, the Flying Skull, the City Shaker, the Lord of Punishment, and the God of Salvation" had become the political correctness of the territory.

Any behavior of disrespect, denial, or insult towards him would be rejected by the majority of the subjects, and could even lead to verbal abuse and beatings. In the past half month alone, Bandak had handled no less than a dozen fights caused by disrespect towards Aix.

Aix didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The people in his territories must be so idle that they came up with so many fancy things for him. He could understand the great man Suno and the son of Odin, but what about the flying skulls, the city-shaking warriors, the lord of punishment and the god of salvation?

After Bandak's explanation, Aix learned that the so-called Flying Skulls referred to the two times he killed in public, both of which ended with chopping off the enemy's heads, so he earned the title of "Flying Skulls".

Now the people in the territory all say that Aix is ​​invincible. As long as he wants, any of his enemies will have their heads blown off in an instant. Those who don't know him might think that Aix is ​​a sword immortal.

The heroic feat of conquering the city warriors was his once accomplished outside the city of Tiha. Now, his subjects boasted that he conquered the entire city by himself, which frightened the entire city of Tiha, from the city lord Eden to the common people, tens of thousands of people, and no one dared to come out to fight.

The Lord of Punishment refers to the deeds of his Hammer of Justice mercenary group. They punished evil and promoted good, wiped out many bandits and robbers, and while making a name for themselves, they also earned Aix the honorary title of Lord of Punishment.

As for the last god of salvation, he was even more miraculous. He was passed down by word of mouth from the slaves who were rescued by him at the very beginning. In total, nearly half of the people in the territory were slaves rescued by him.

These people went from being grateful at the beginning to respect and admiration in the end, and then through the mouth of the carpenter of Schulers, they transformed this admiration into faith, which directly allowed Aix to achieve the goal of being the God of Salvation.

After listening to Bandak's narration, Aix broke out in a cold sweat. If it were in the Middle Ages in Europe, he would have been burned at the stake eight or ten times just for these rumors.

The key is that some of these rumors are half true and half false. You know, some things are not afraid of being spread as incredible, but they are afraid of being credible. Coupled with the exaggeration of some eyewitnesses, now even if someone says that Aix's asshole can spit fire, there will be people who believe it.

Aix, who was sweating profusely, could no longer sit still and asked Liu Tang to immediately notify all the leaders to come to the meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Aix first asked Bandak to inform all the leaders about the incident.

What Aix didn't expect was that all the leaders in the territory knew about this matter to some extent, and some even fueled the incident based on their own experiences as companions. However, no one took the initiative to tell Aix, and he might be the last person in the territory to know about it.

When he asked the leaders what to do, everyone expressed their opinions. Some said that Aix should establish a religion, some said that Aix should learn from the Dark God's Pope Prius and be crowned Pope, some said that Aix should vigorously promote this matter and even publicize it to other countries, and some even said that Aix should take this opportunity to become independent and establish its own country, and then dominate the world...

No one said that this should be stopped. These leaders who were not afraid of trouble were obviously too excited. After the discussion, they all looked at Aix with eager eyes. Having experienced two world historical systems, he knew how terrible this kind of physical sanctification was.

In the mildest cases, families will be destroyed and relatives and friends will be affected. In the worst cases, the world will be in chaos and corpses will be scattered all over the place. This is no joke.

In the end, it was the experienced Nizza who gave him direction. This wandering poet who had traveled across most of the continent said to him:

"Sir, since this has already happened, you don't need to worry too much, let alone come out to stop these comments, or even deny them. Doing so will only lower the expectations of the people in the territory, causing them to feel disappointed, and even causing people to become divided and lose cohesion."

After thinking about these words carefully, Aix felt that this was indeed the truth. He couldn't go out and tell his subjects that he was only being nice to them because he was kind-hearted, and that he was collecting such low taxes just because he wanted them to live a good life.

Aix was certain that if he dared to say this to his subjects in person today, someone on the construction site or on the farm would dare to be lazy, cheat, or even go on strike tomorrow.

Seeing that Aix nodded in agreement, Niza continued:

"I just mentioned the Dark God Cult. Actually, you may not know that I have traveled to various countries and found that there are still some remote villages that believe in the Dark God Cult. After I learned about it, I realized that it is only because the teachings of the Dark God Cult say that as long as they believe in them, they will live a prosperous life in the future.

The people in our territory today were once the lowest class on the continent. They probably couldn’t even have a full meal in a year.

Now that they are following you, sir, not only do they have enough food and clothing, but their lives also have more prospects. If you let them simply understand this as your kindness, they will feel uneasy. If they understand this kindness as a gift from God, they will feel more at ease.

Of course, the spontaneous worship and admiration of you by your subjects is a good thing, but it cannot be left alone. If this belief is allowed to develop without restraint and eventually turn into blind fanaticism, it will at best bring chaos to the territory, and at worst it may even develop into an out-of-control situation.

So you need to guide and control this power now, otherwise once it gets out of control, it will bring severe disasters to this continent just like the Dark Church did back then."
