This kind of false conversion scheme involves many aspects. Although there are no abundant reference books, it is not something that ordinary people can come up with in one night. Fortunately, Dorothy is not an ordinary person. She is an "initiated" Cretaceous-level extraordinary person and a professor of esoteric studies. When she is fully focused, her information processing ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"But before I help them come up with a plan... there's one more problem that needs to be solved first."
Dorothy continued to think, and then she closed her eyes again and began to contact Vanya far away.
…
In the dark night on Natsuki Island, in the longhouse of Fengshu Priest, Vanya was sitting on the floor, flipping through different types of Natsuki documents on a meaningless magic circle quite seriously. At this moment, she had already read all the valuable documents. What she was flipping through now were some books that were of little value to Dorothy, which taught people how to fish, farm and produce tools.
At this moment, Vanya received a message from Dorothy. She was startled for a moment and stopped flipping through the book. Then she slowly stood up. After seeing the message, Aman at the side couldn't help but ask.
"Ms. Vanya, have you...finished spreading the message?"
"It has been almost transmitted. Our High Priest has received these documents. She is working on some preliminary plans for you overnight. I will let you know when she is done."
Vanya responded to Amman, and Amman breathed a sigh of relief and answered.
"It's good that it's passed... I would like to thank your priest here. If Xia Shu can really survive this crisis, your kindness to Xia Shu will be beyond words. If there is a need in the future, we will do our best to repay you."
Amman said so. Listening to Amman's words, Vanya complained in her heart that all these documents of yours were actually a huge reward for Miss Dorothea, but you just didn't notice it.
"I feel like Miss Dorothea has made a lot of money. Not only do she have so many documents and spiritual power, but she also got favors from others... I feel a little sorry for her..."
Vanya thought so in her heart, and then she became serious and continued to speak to Amman.
"By the way, I have one more thing I want to ask you, Your Excellency the Priest. How did you know the itinerary and route of the pilgrim fleet I was on? Did you know in advance that our fleet was not well guarded?"
Listening to Vanya's words, Aman paused slightly. After thinking for a while, he continued to speak.
"We did know that a pilgrim fleet of the Church of the Void was passing by there, so we decided to launch a surprise attack, hoping to capture the pilgrims of the Glorious and threaten them not to attack us easily. But this key piece of information was provided by an outstanding foreign businessman on our island.
"His name is Obuye, and he is the captain of a large merchant ship in Xia Shu. Because of our business, we often ask him for various news. He will also attend the meeting tomorrow..."
Amman said this to Vanya, and after listening to Amman's words, Vanya couldn't help but murmur.
"Obuye..."
…
Soon, after the moon set, a new day arrived at the Natsuki Islands.
When the first rays of dawn appeared on the sea in the east, Amman, with his power as the priest of Fengshu, urgently summoned several elders and important figures of Xiashu to gather together for a meeting. When the elders were confused by Amman's emergency summons, Amman announced a shocking plan to them.
Anman claimed that he had received a revelation from his ancestors last night. In this revelation, Xia Shu's ancestor explained the will of the goddess. The goddess of abundance could not bear to see Xia Shu being slaughtered in the war because of his loyalty. The goddess of life who brought abundance did not want to see the tragedy of life withering happen to Xia Shu. Therefore, the goddess of Xia did not want Xia Shu to go to war with Huiguang head-on. The ancestors asked Xia Shu to release the hostages and convert to Huiguang to avoid the tragedy.
As soon as Amman's words came out, there was an uproar among the elders. Some of the elders who were afraid of the Glorious Army and the disaster immediately rejoiced that their ancestors had made a wise choice and expressed their support for Amman. However, another group of people began to loudly oppose immediately. As devout and hardliners, they doubted Amman and believed that his revelation was false. The ancestors would never let them abandon the belief in the goddess who had been passed down for thousands of years. They expressed their belief in the goddess's faith until death.
After calming everyone down and restoring order in the venue, Amman made another shocking statement. He claimed that their ancestors did not ask them to really abandon the goddess, but to change their belief in the goddess from open to covert. On the surface, they believed in the glorious Virgin Mary, but secretly worshipped her as a goddess.
Amman told everyone that now that the glow is strong, they need to avoid its edge first and preserve the flame of faith in the goddess, and then rekindle it when it is mature. The key to faith is people. Only when Xia Shu and others are still there can the faith in the goddess be truly preserved. If Xia Shu is destroyed, the faith in the goddess will also disappear.
After hearing what Amman said, the elders were all shocked. They had never heard of such a method of worshipping a foreign god as a goddess. More people questioned Amman about the feasibility of this fantastic method, but Amman was confident about it.
Amman announced that the ancestors had revealed to him specific methods to help them pretend to convert, and he directly explained and listed several specific plans at the meeting. After seeing these plans, the elders were even more surprised.
All the plans that Amman came up with were very detailed. These plans had completely transformed Xia Shu's religious activities, including daily prayers, group activities, festival sacrifices, and handicraft production... The religious activities that Xia Shu people were familiar with had all been changed in these plans. They seemed to be somewhat similar to the religious activities of the Glow Church, but at the same time, they seemed to have retained the characteristics of the Goddess faith. These characteristics were retained in a hidden way, but they were indeed the core.
After reading these plans, the elders found that the religious activities they were familiar with were perfectly integrated into daily life or religious activities for the Virgin Mary. For example, in daily greetings and exchanges, there were code words for praying to the goddess. For example, when praying to the Mother of God, the meaning of some pronunciations was blurred, making this prayer actually directed at the goddess. For example, the baptism ceremony of the Radiance was disguised as the water offering ceremony of the Wanderer, etc.
The plans given by Amman are detailed, comprehensive, systematic and theoretical. It is obvious that they are not something that was thought up on the spur of the moment. It seems that it is more like someone who has many experiences of false converts has spent a lot of time and effort to sort out his experience. After initially understanding the profoundness of these plans, the elders could not help but admire them and said that this can be regarded as a subject, which is a veritable science of religious disguise!
When this complete plan was placed before the elders, they were almost speechless. At this moment, almost no one doubted that Amman had received the revelation from his ancestors, because apart from being inspired, it was impossible for Amman to create a knowledge overnight!
After it was confirmed that it was truly revealed by the ancestors, Aman's voice became even higher.
At this point, the elders' meeting in Xiashu was finally about to reach a conclusion. In the face of this series of plans, the meeting, which had been arguing endlessly, slowly calmed down. The elders who had originally disagreed gradually reached a consensus. The promotion of the belief in camouflage science was imperative in Xiashu.
During the final stage of the meeting, one person had a very gloomy face. He was Xia Shu's businessman, Obuye.
