If Vanya's words about treating the Holy Cross as a goddess mean abandoning all religious activities of the Goddess of Plenty and accepting all the words of the Holy Cross, then this kind of false belief is meaningless and is just deceiving oneself. And if after pretending to convert to the Holy Cross, one retains too many words that overly reveal the religious activities of the Goddess of Plenty, then the church cannot hide it.
So, how to pretend to believe? How to realize the saint as the goddess of abundance? How to carry out original religious activities under the eyes of the glory? This involves a lot of complicated issues, which cannot be explained in a few words.
"Don't worry. We have experience and can help you in detail. You just need to give me the detailed information about Xia Shu's various religious activities and various inherited literature information. I will send these things to the priest over there, and she will help you draw up a suitable plan based on our experience."
Looking at Amman who looked worried, Vanya spoke seriously. From her words, it seemed that in the distant continent, there really was a tribe that pretended to believe in the Holy Basil but actually maintained the belief in the Goddess of Fertility in secret. And she herself was a member of this mysterious tribe. Amman, who had seen Vanya's dance before, naturally had no doubts.
Seeing Vanya's confident look, Aman felt relieved for a moment. He sighed and said.
"Well... Then I'll leave everything to you. Xia Shu, most of the documents and materials about the goddess and sacrificial activities are passed down by our priests from generation to generation. Many of them are very precious. How much do you need?"
"Give as much as you can. Although we all believe in the goddess, we are far away from each other, and the methods of various sacrificial activities are always different. Even for us priests, we need to fully understand Xia Shu before we can formulate a suitable plan for you, so please give as much as you can."
Vanya said to Amman, and after hearing what Vanya said, Amman couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Try to give as much as possible? But Miss Vanya, among these documents we have, many have what you call poison identification. You need to make preparations before you can read them. Do you really need so many?"
"Poison identification? That's no problem. Our priests have some connections with the church's history department and have relatively efficient means of defense and poison identification, so you don't have to worry.
"Mr. Amman, please let me have access to those documents for a while. I will use extraordinary means to send the contents to our priest. After she has the results, she will immediately give you feedback."
Vanya said to Amman, and seeing the confident look of the nun in front of her, Amman nodded without worrying anymore.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll make all the documents related to the faith of the goddess Natsuki public to you.
"Also, time is running out. Since I have decided to follow your path and pretend to convert to the Holy Father, the most urgent task now is to immediately inform Xia Shu and other important elders of this news. I will now hold an emergency meeting immediately. If everything is fine... then early next morning, we will send a message to the church that we are willing to convert and release the hostages.
"After this, I will show you what Xia Shu believes in, and the rest is up to you."
Aman said to Vanya that since Priest Fengshu had a very high status on the island, there was no need to worry about any mistakes in the results of the meeting this time.
"Well, thank you for your trust, Mr. Aman. We will do our best to help Xia Shu get out of the crisis."
With a firm and serious look, Vanya spoke to Amman, and Amman took a long breath and slowly left the sacrificial site. Vanya followed closely behind him. There were still many things to do that night.
…
"Huh... I finally got the basics done. This Natsuki..."
Late at night, in a hotel room in Troyes, Dorothy, lying on the sofa in her pajamas, let out a long sigh and murmured that with the help of Adele, she finally managed to make Vanya gain the trust of the Summer Tree Priest and get the other party to agree to her plan.
"Fortunately, the spiritual legacy that Darlene left to Adele contained many of the things she inherited when she was a priestess of abundance. Not only did she know the hand gestures used in sacrificial ceremonies, but she also knew the sacred dances used to worship gods. Without these things... it would have been impossible to win the trust of that Summer Tree priest."
Lying on the sofa, Dorothy muttered that in Darlene's notes, Dorothy had seen the description of the Plenty Shrine, which was almost the same as the one on the summer tree. The only difference was that except for the Altar of Dance, all other shrines in Darlene's shrine were damaged. On the other hand, except for the Altar of Water, the other three shrines in the Plenty Shrine were not used, but they were generally well preserved. After seeing the Altar of Dance in the Summer Tree Shrine, Dorothy came up with the idea of letting Vanya pretend to be a Plenty believer and win the trust of the Summer Tree priest with Darlene's Dance.
Not long ago, Dorothy found Adele and asked her to give her the contents of the fertility sacrifice in her mind through the Akka sacrifice. It was with these contents that Dorothy was able to make Vanya a "devout believer" of the fertility goddess in the eyes of Amman and their "compatriot".
'This time, thanks to Adele, I feel like I'm starting to owe her a favor... I guess I'll have to find a chance to repay her in the future. I wonder if there's anything valuable in the Amman Abundance Documents that I can give to Adele after they're delivered.'
Looking at the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" at hand, Dorothy thought in her heart that her help to Xia Shu to escape the fate of being purified by the church was not in vain. Xia Shu had a lot of information about the belief in abundance, and she was willing to accept all of it. She had been short of "cups" recently, and Xia Shu's wave of information would probably help her replenish a lot.
Of course, Dorothy didn't ask for Xia Shu's documents just to replenish her own spirituality. She asked Vanya to promise Aman to help Xia Shu make a "guide to false conversion" and it was not a joke. Dorothy was really going to help Xia Shu come up with a set of methods to maintain a rich faith under the faith of the Holy Cross.
The reason why she was confident in coming up with such a set of methods was because she had a lot of rich references, and these references came from the Wolf Blood Society of the Afterbirth Cult.
On the contrary, in order to infiltrate the Tivian Church, the Wolfblood Society came up with a series of legends that could blur the belief in the Holy Grail and the Holy Ghost from somewhere. They used these legends to corrupt Vanya's superior Cork in the History Department, causing Cork to be unable to distinguish between the Holy Grail and the Holy Ghost for the sake of a Holy Grail. He actually believed in the Holy Grail but superficially believed in the Holy Ghost, a heretic. Later, Cork planned to use this legend to corrupt the entire History Department, but was finally discovered by Vanya, who was protected by Akka.
Vanya had read this biography. Dorothy had asked Vanya to give it to her before. After Dorothy was planning to help Xia Shu, she remembered this incident and asked Vanya to give this biography to her through Aka. There are many parts in this biography that can be used as references for such behaviors as overlapping idols, vague worship, and disguised beliefs.
Of course, Dorothy was not sure that she could really give Xia Shu a "Guide to False Conversion" just by relying on such a biography as a reference. Since Dorothy had not extracted the spirituality from this biography, which was only kept by Vanya, she could use it to exchange for knowledge, to exchange for knowledge of this type from other worlds.
Dorothy combined this biography with all the religious knowledge with similar contents she had read in the Guanda Library before, and used the system to exchange them together. In the end, she obtained two results.
One of them is called "The Secret Rules of Voodoo", and the other is called "The Hidden Volume of the Amakusa Cross Cult".
