Raymond, you've got a quick reaction!
It's definitely unreliable to lie to him that the people of Daxia already believe in God.
Even Lin Mo himself only had a superficial understanding of the Bible.
If Raymond were to give him a thorough interrogation, he would be 100% exposed!
Looking up, Lin Mo saw Raymond staring at him with wide eyes, which made his scalp tingle.
At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly realized that a lie mixed with a bit of truth is more likely to be believed!
So he said frankly, "The people of Great Xia do not believe in God!"
Raymond was shocked. "Then why are you spouting all this nonsense? The Bible, the True Cross!"
"What, are you kidding me?"
Seeing Raymond's expression, Lin Cheng spread his hands and said, "Sir Raymond, I'm preaching!"
After listening to the translation, Raymond exclaimed, "Wow, I can't argue with that!"
Lin Mo is the Regent of the Great Xia Dynasty. According to the information, he is the actual ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty.
If he is telling the truth, then Lin Mo, the supreme ruler, should be the pioneer in preaching in Great Xia.
It smells wonderful to Christ!
but...
"Your Highness, are you really preaching?" Raymond asked with deep skepticism.
"How could I, with such sincerity, possibly deceive you!" Lin Mo declared confidently. "I have a wish in my heart: that wherever there are people in the world, everyone will know of God's existence!"
Under Lin Mo's "sincere" gaze, Raymond gradually came to believe it.
“Very well, Your Highness Regent of Great Xia!” he said. “I will convey your message to His Majesty the King.”
"If possible, Sir Raymond, it would be best to arrange a meeting between His Majesty Baldwin and me," Lin Mo said. "Let's discuss this matter face to face! What do you think?"
“Very well!” Raymond said. “However, Your Highness, may I take the genuine True Cross back to His Majesty the King to see?”
“Yes, of course!” Lin Mo said. “This is a sacred object of Christ, so it should definitely be kept by the Lord of Jerusalem!”
"This..." Raymond was extremely excited after hearing this. "Thank you, Your Highness! I will definitely persuade His Majesty the King to meet with you in person!"
"We await good news!" Lin Mo said, cupping his hands in greeting.
After seeing Raymond off, Xu Chu immediately asked, "My lord, are you really going to preach for them?"
"Are you kidding me!" Lin Mo said, "I'll set up a ghost for them!"
Lin Mo's plan was to get the Crusaders to help him fight Saladin, which would be ideal.
If that doesn't work, try a meeting or Baldwin!
Five-star European historical generals, just swallow a wave and instantly upgrade to five stars, how wonderful!
~~~
Raymond returned to the Crusader camp the following morning.
The sun slowly climbed overhead, and the temperature rose again.
Yesterday's heavy rains eased the Crusaders' water problem, but starting today they will have to worry about drinking water.
When Raymond relayed Lin Mo's words to Baldwin and other high-ranking Crusaders, the situation immediately erupted in uproar.
The information Lin Mo was talking about was as outrageous as a Bible story!
One of the crusader generals immediately questioned, "How did this Lin Mo come to know God? Who taught him to study and understand the doctrines? Who baptized him?"
I've never heard of any priest coming to Daxia to preach!
"I've never heard of any churches accepting Bactrians as priests."
Raymond provided the answer: "The Regent of Great Britain came across it by chance while traveling the world. He bought a Bible and was deeply moved by its contents and doctrines, so he decided to convert!"
There was no baptism, and no church approval!
"It's simply out of faith; I want to preach in Great Xia!"
Raymond's explanation left all the Crusader generals, including Baldwin, speechless.
At first glance, these words seem outrageous!
However, it does possess a certain degree of credibility...
Because there is no indication of deliberate lying in this explanation.
Lin Mo bought a Bible and suddenly had an epiphany, is that not allowed?
Isn't this exactly the outcome Christ most wanted to see?
Baldwin remained silent in response.
“Your Majesty!” Raymond continued, “Putting aside the Regent of Great Xia’s sincere preaching, Saladin and his infidels are so blasphemous towards God and Christ. Do you still intend to continue your alliance with them?”
Raymond steered the conversation toward the True Cross.
They were all created by the previous god.
Clearly, the previous god was not from Earth and only focused on the raw power of these generals and troops, ignoring the centuries-long conflict between them. He forcibly allied Muslims and Christians against Lin Mo.
Now that the previous god has been sealed away, the thoughts preserved during the creation of these newly created generals are beginning to surface.
At this moment, Raymond hated Saladin to the core!
As for the other Crusader generals, the previous God's brainwashing work was obviously rather perfunctory.
Even before Raymond, they already had many grievances against Saladin.
Now that this regent of Jerusalem is leading the charge, they are filled with righteous indignation and wish they could tear Saladin to pieces!
Clearly, Lin Mo also used this period of history, combined with the settings of the old and new systems, to cleverly exploit the contradictions between them and sow discord among them!
“Your Majesty, Raymond is right,” a Crusader general shouted. “Whether Lin Mo is a true believer or not, at least he has the idea of preaching in Great Xia. For that alone, he is our brother!”
That Saladin, that guy actually dared to deceive us with a fake True Cross.
