Chapter 582: Borrowing
In a comfortable suite of a hotel in Adria, Dorothy sat in a seat by the window, staring intently at the words that Beverly responded to in the "Maritime Navigation" in front of her, and couldn't help thinking in her heart.
'Modify the temple's symbol, replace the main priest... So there is such an operation... Indeed, among the cults I have seen before, some have indeed made similar moves. For example, the Eight-Pointed Nest has been replacing the faith of the Mirror Moon Goddess in various places in Plit and creating its own Spider Queen.
"Since those guys in Bajian can do it, then I can do it too. It's much easier to change it to a temple than to build one from scratch. This is indeed a solution."
Dorothy thought so in her heart. After thinking it over, she silently made a decision and started writing on the "Sea Voyage".
"How much does your method cost? Tell me about it."
"It's not a lot, only nine hundred pounds, and the content is not very long. If you are sure you want to buy it, I can write it down for you directly, and you can go to the old place to pay later." Beverly quickly responded to Dorothy on the paper. After reading it, Dorothy exclaimed, and then immediately started writing in response.
"Deliver first and pay later? This is really rare for you."
"It's just a business worth less than a thousand pounds, so I don't need to worry about it so much. Besides, don't you always say that you are an old customer?" Beverly responded to Dorothy. After reading it, Dorothy nodded silently and then started writing again.
"Well, if that's the case, just copy the content to me now, and I'll pay you later."
"Wait~" Beverly wrote, and then her words paused briefly, and then reappeared after a blank line, and spread at a speed faster than Dorothy had ever seen a modern printer, spreading across a whole page in an instant. Dorothy turned to the second page and saw that the words were still spreading rapidly from top to bottom, and finally stopped when two pages were full.
"That's all. Please take your time to enjoy it. Remember to pay after you finish." After the transmission, Beverly's normal dialogue appeared and Dorothy immediately responded.
"Yeah, of course, thank you."
After greeting Beverly, Dorothy began to read the biography she had bought, quickly reading through the words on it. In a few seconds, she finished reading it all. However, after reading all the contents of the biography, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.
After studying this biography, Dorothy found that the ceremony of replacing the temporary main priest was not too difficult for her. She had no problem completing it with her own conditions, but the key lay in the requirements of the ceremony for the replaced temple. Dorothy was a little embarrassed about this, and she began to worry about the choice of the target temple.
Originally, after Dorothy heard Beverly say that she could use the temples of other gods instead of the blessing ceremony, she immediately thought quickly about what suitable candidates there were. After thinking about it, she found that she had almost no choice.
First of all, although the Glowing Church system has the most temples, it is also the least likely to be attacked actively. All the diocesan cathedrals are guarded by the Archbishop of the Red Order. It is extremely difficult to make small moves under the "light" of the Red Order. Even if you succeed, you may be wanted by the church for the serious crime of blasphemy and be hunted down everywhere. Therefore, Dorothy has never thought of attacking the church.
Besides the Glowing Light Church, Dorothy also thought of the Shamanic Sacrifice Field. However, the Shamanic knowledge she had obtained from Uta showed that the Sacrifice Field was a very sacred place among the tribes of the aboriginals of the entire continent. At that time, there were not only special guard tribes stationed there for a long time, but also several of the most powerful wilderness spirits guarding it. At critical moments, the guard tribes could also call on other tribes around to come to reinforce, and even the colonists of the main continent did not dare to invade easily. It was also very dangerous to conduct a replacement ceremony with a blasphemous nature in such a place.
And regardless of whether the final ritual was completed, Dorothy's relationship with the Shamanism would become very bad, and she would not get the support of the Tupa tribe in the future. The same is true for the Butterfly Cult of Little Fox. If Dorothy wants Little Fox to lend her the Butterfly God's Temple for exchange, they will probably want to snatch the Phantom Scale Incense Cage, and it will be difficult for her to get their help in the future.
As for the many cults other than Shamanism, the Glow Cult and the Butterfly Cult, Dorothy had no idea. First of all, their temples were guarded by red demons, and she had no idea where their temples were. She couldn't even find them, let alone perform rituals.
Therefore, Dorothy felt that her only choice was the Qiwen Temple in Addis. First of all, the Judge of Heaven had long been gone, and there was no other cult in the world that believed in Him except for the fake society she had set up. No one would bother her if she used His temple to perform the replacement ceremony. Secondly, Addis was in the territory of Addus, in the remote northern Wu area, and Addus was ruled by Shadi, who had some friendship with her. It was also safe to do things in his territory. Before she carefully read the legend of the replacement ceremony, the Qiwen Temple could almost be said to be Dorothy's best choice.
However, when Dorothy finished reading the legend of replacement and understood the replacement ceremony from various details, she immediately felt disappointed.
According to the biography Beverly gave, there are several requirements for the temporary replacement temple. First, it cannot be damaged too badly, and some key structural points must be preserved. Then, as Beverly said before, this temple must be original and not replaced before. This replacement ritual cannot be used twice in the same temple. A temple whose main deity has been replaced can only be returned to its original main deity through the conversion ritual. Whether it is before or after the conversion, the temple cannot be replaced again. In short, the replacement ritual can only be used once in a temple.
The key lies in the second point. The target of the replacement ceremony can only be the original temple, but the Temple of Enlightenment in Addis is not the original one. Its main deity has been replaced long ago. In the Third Age, the main deity here was replaced from the Judge of Heaven to the King of Light. Later, in the early Fourth Age, it was changed to the Lord of Light by the Church of the Glorious Patriarch. After the Church of the Glorious Patriarch compromised with the Church of the Glorious Light, it was changed to the Savior of Light and began to worship the Three Saints additionally. Later, the Savior came to the world to get rid of the Three Saints, and recently they are inviting them again.
It can be said that the main deity of the Qiwen Temple had been changed a long time ago. At the beginning, Dorothy thought that the Qiwen Temple had a hidden space, and it should be fine as long as the hidden part was not changed. However, after she finished reading the legend of the replacement ceremony, she found that it was not the case. The key to this replacement ceremony is to look at the outside, not the inside. The hidden space of the Qiwen Temple is the control center of the library and the city defense system. Strictly speaking, it has little to do with the religious system. The main part of the Qiwen Temple's religious system is outside, and it has been changed beyond recognition. Dorothy can't use it.
"This is going to be troublesome..."
Looking at the biography copied by Beverly in front of her, Dorothy rubbed her temple and thought distressedly that if the Temple of Qiwen could not be used, she would have no choice for the moment. Except for the Temple of Qiwen, other temples she knew of could not be moved, and the Temple of Qiwen did not meet the requirements. She didn't know what to do for a moment.
"I can't really save money to build my own temple, how long will it take? Or should I devote myself to archaeology and go around to see if I can find the ruins of a temple of a fallen ancient god? This is also a big task that can't be completed in a short time..."
Dorothy continued to think hard, but she couldn't think of any solution. So she contacted Beverly through the "Hai Navigation Notes" and asked her if she could borrow the core temple of the structure for exchange. Beverly immediately said yes, as long as Dorothy could pay enough. However, when Dorothy saw the specific fee requirements, she immediately gave up the idea. She thought it would be better to save money and build one herself than to rent the core temple of the structure.
