What exactly is God?

While waiting, Lind fell into deep thought, contemplating the holy light in his hand.

Before this, Lind always thought that God was God, just as introduced in the game settings, this world really has God in the secular sense.

The power that God gives to believers is divine magic. God is equal to everyone. The more devout your faith, the more powerful the divine magic will be.

However, although God is equal to everyone, everyone's talents are unequal. Even if your faith is devout, if you cannot use magic or mobilize magical power, you still cannot use divine arts.

But now it has been proven in the territory that divine magic, at least the Goddess's holy light magic, can be disassembled and copied like ordinary magic and made into mathematical arrays.

Lind has actually been testing what would happen if ordinary people knew this secret, but most of those who haven't seen it with their own eyes don't believe it, and at most they would just treat Lind's testing as a joke.

At this time, Bernice hurried to the reception room under the guidance of the maid.

"I'm late. It's nice to see you again, Governor."

"It doesn't matter. I was the one who brought your appointment forward."

Hearing Lind say this, Bernice waved her hand hurriedly and said, "No, we are glad that you can advance our appointment."

Just like in the past, Bernice came to meet Linde wearing the nun's uniform from Lantern Dream. Although the nun's uniform from Lantern Dream was more bold in design, it somehow fits in with the current trend of the Northern Church. Moreover, Bernice is as dignified and elegant as an ordinary nun, just like a church member summoned by the Governor. There is no sense of incongruity at all, and she looks neither like a cultist nor a fanatic.

But compared to the past, Bernice's eyes were even more fanatical. Although she knew that it was impossible for Lind to make Lantern Dream a formal church, it was definitely a good thing to be summoned by a human lord from the Golden Age who was about to unify the North. Lantern Dream had always wanted to develop further cooperation with Lind, and even planned to slowly transform it so that Lantern Dream could return to the sun.

Although Lind felt that if they did not change their doctrine of worshipping only the goddess, they would have no chance unless these guys could plow through other churches.

The reason why these guys are so fanatical about themselves and even plan to transform themselves may be that they think they have the ability to plow through other churches.

"The magic train you invented may be just a drop in the ocean of the Golden Age, but it has important significance for us now."

"With this, mankind will no longer be divided into different territories, but can be connected as a whole. At that time, the faith of this world will be more unified and closer."

Bernice bowed to Lind with great respect, and Lind said helplessly: "This was invented by my wife."

Linde mainly provides ideas, while the specific technical research is still done by Reina and Lisha.

But Bernice showed an expression that said "I understand".

"Ok."

Linde had no choice but to stop dwelling on the matter and instead brought the topic back.

"I came here to ask you what you know about the demon god of the demon clan."

Hearing this question, Bernice smiled jokingly and said to the shadow behind Lind: "Didn't your actors, I mean the bards, investigate? Or did they not find anything either?"

The shadow behind Lind was a little agitated, but then calmed down immediately.

Linde took out a stack of information and said, "I checked, but I didn't find anything useful. They were all scriptures and doctrines, and most of them were grafted from other religions. Oh, they also grafted your scriptures over, saying that their demon god is the only true god, and other gods, including the goddess, are just false gods."

"what!"

Bernice immediately slammed the table and stood up. The fanaticism in her eyes turned into anger. The originally dignified nun immediately turned into a fanatic: "How can this be absurd? We really listened to the voice of the goddess. How dare they, a mere evil god without even a scripture, question the goddess?"

Bernice paced around the conference room, muttering words like holy war and purge. But when she realized she was talking to Lind, she immediately calmed down: "I'm sorry, Governor. I really lost my temper."

Facing Bernice who sat down again, Lind comforted her, "It's okay, so can you tell me about your intelligence on the demon god?"

"In exchange, our investigation report will also be made public to you."

"No need."

Bernice refused and said, "We will provide you with the information here free of charge. As for the information on the bard's side."

Halfway through her words, Bernice looked at the shadow behind Lind again: "We will find a way ourselves."

Lind could feel that the Lantern Dream seemed to dislike the bards very much. It was not hostility, but more of a contempt due to differences in ideas.

"Before introducing this so-called demon god, Governor, please allow me to ask you first, have you ever had any faith? How much do you know about religious stories?"

Lind shook his head and said directly: "I don't believe in any gods. At most, I am a shallow believer of the goddess. I don't know much about current religions."

The so-called shallow believers will not lose any meat if they just believe in it. What's more, Lind can now really use holy light and has made a lot of holy water. Believing in it is worthy of the holy water given by the goddess, if this holy water is really given by the goddess.

Bernice was not surprised that Lind did not believe in any gods, but she still took out her notes and wrote them down. After all, this was important research material on the gods and beliefs of the Golden Age.

But halfway through writing, Bernice keenly noticed something and asked, "You don't believe in any gods. Does that mean you have ever believed in something other than gods?"

Linde was stunned for a moment, as if he was lost in his memories, and then replied: "I don't know if it can be considered as faith. It is different from what is called faith now."

Bernice wanted to ask something else, but seeing that Linde was unwilling to continue, she had to put down the pen and paper in her hand regretfully and continued to introduce the so-called demon god of the demon clan to Linde.

"We still have to remind you that the so-called demon god of the demon clan is most likely just an evil god whose followers died in the eternal frozen land. But since you asked, we still went to look for it in the old books."

"In fact, similar gods were recorded in the earliest scriptures of the church, but at that time, even the Old Empire had not yet been established, so it's no wonder that your bards didn't record them. The most special thing about this god is that he has no scriptures or doctrines. Just as your bards have investigated, all of his dogmas and doctrines are copied from other religions by his followers."

Speaking of this, Bernice couldn't help but slap the table again.

"I just didn't expect the demons would even copy our teachings."

But Bernice quickly calmed down and began to explain to Lind, who they regarded as an ancient man, "All gods, even those that only cultists worship and symbolize nothingness and laziness, have a complete set of scriptures and doctrines."

Lind nodded. The gods in this world all have obvious symbolic meanings. There are no clay gods that are worshipped alone and have unclear responsibilities.

"As for why a god has neither scriptures nor doctrines, this is also noted in the earliest scriptures of the Goddess Religion. This is because this god does not belong to this world, and his so-called doctrines do not exist in this world."

Bernice said the most exciting words to Linde in the calmest tone.
