"Sect Hierarch, can we really learn Mad Fire by doing this?"
"Don't speak, keep eating."
"Ah woo woo (okay)."
Under Todd's expectant gaze, the sowhat malnourished Mad Fire Believer picked up the food in front of him and started stuffing it into his mouth.
This is truly eating well, ample nutrients to truly soothe the body and soul, allowing one to grow healthier and stronger.
Looking around, in this flat designated by Todd as the cafeteria, there are a dozen believers eating earnestly, with food that has been carefully selected to quickly bring their bodies back to health.
Is this to improve the believers' physical condition? Of course not, otherwise there wouldn't only be a dozen people here.
These believers are the true believers chosen by Todd, willing to pay the price to learn Mad Fire and follow him to help the Mad Fire God Sect grow and prosper!
And he's willing to let these people use Mad Fire, provided they first possess a strong body.
Otherwise, enduring the pain of using Mad Fire would be too intense for them.
Todd watched everyone with their heads down eating and couldn't help but smile happily.
Today is the third day since they succeeded in overthrowing the Free People Church.
The Mad Fire God Sect has completely taken over everything from the Free People Church: reputation, wealth, status, even the flat they now live in was the property of the Free People Church; having a proper house in the slum itself is akin to a class leap, and they now possess a string of connected houses, tents outside are too many to ntion.
So may ask, in just three days, is it really possible to accomplish so much?
What about the Believers of the Free People who weren't present when the Mad Fire God Sect overthrew their church, won't they resist?
The answer is, they did resist, but the rebellion has been quelled—under Todd's command, Mad Fire Believers quickly completed such an operation.
This high-efficiency operation also deeply shook Todd himself.
Because the believers are just so capable!
It was only then that he discovered his believers were truly a hidden treasure trove, consisting of people from all walks of life, no matter what brought them to the slum, now they contribute their professional knowledge and skills for the developnt of the Mad Fire God Sect.
So are responsible for suppressing and converting Believers of the Free People, so are repairing the houses left behind by the Free People Church, so are actively contacting the upper echelon to establish umbrellas, and there's even a forr Knight training soldiers for the Mad Fire Church!
According to the managent of various churches, the prominent ones among these trained believers could be referred to as "Mad Fire Knight."
This na alone suggests a sense of power and madness, feeling stronger than Starfire Knight or Holy Light Knight.
The people in the slum also quickly accepted the fact of the Mad Fire God Sect's expansion, because this is the slum, a place where various talents mingle and gain wisdom; having the sudden appearance of Mad Fire God Sect doesn't seem so unusual, anyway, the residents quickly accepted it, and so have started to pledge allegiance.
Todd stepped out of the cafeteria toward the largest flat chosen as the Mad Fire Church, where believers were already waiting for his arrival, gleefully opening the door upon seeing Todd's figure.
Inside the house, facing directly at the door, stood a hastily carved statue of the Mad Fire Sun, though crudely made, the details suffice to reveal the sculptor's deep faith in Mad Fire.
On both sides of the Mad Fire Divine statue, over twenty Mad Fire Believers stood apart, rising imdiately to attention with fervent expressions that cannot be concealed upon Todd's arrival.
Todd was about to raise his hand to greet everyone with an approachable and friendly deanor as usual, but suddenly he realized that the Mad Fire God Sect was not ant to tread the path of surviving cautiously, now was the ti to show its strength and fangs, so how could it be like before?
Thus, he nodded without changing expression and said:
"Thanks everyone for your hard work, I won't utter grandiose words like those hypocritical major churches, so I'll just say one thing."
The believers held their breath and stared at him, their gazes differing from those of major church believers; rather than believers, they were more like... a pack of beasts just mastering their fangs?
Todd spread his arms, the wide-sleeved robe especially chosen for this mont fluttering with the motion, the flowing robe casting an imposing stance.
"Allowing us weaklings to have the power to resist, this is the blessing of the Mad Fire God, and the anticipation he bestowed upon us!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!!"
The sound of believers pumping their fists and cheering echoed endlessly within the church.
Amidst the cheers, Todd sat atop the seat beneath the Mad Fire Divine statue, raising his hand: "Co, I shall once again grant you the Mad Fire."
The believers sward forward, and he held the chin of the first believer to arrive, eting his gaze with visible delight.
Todd's eyes seed to burn with yellow flas, while the believer's eyes flared with flickering yellow fire.
