GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1744: A Lie That Is Not A Lie.

The two orcs might have been skeptical of the existence of gods before, but they were not anymore after they saw everything they offered on the shrine turn into motes of light and disappear.

They offered the best they had and more, but the sight of all of their stuff being received made them happy instead of sad at losing so much. Such is the allure of faith.

Legion was happy with the situation. It had a lot to do with thr notifications they received each time they offered something.

-You have received 10 gold coins from Axec.

-You have received 93 cold coins from Hoggling. -You have received (Large shield) from Hoggling. -You have received (Wolf pelt armor) from Hoggling. -You have received (Twin daggers) from Hoggling.

Everything offered to a god could be received by the god, including weapons and armor. Plus, their action of receiving offerings increased the faith of their believers. It gave Legion a good idea on how to exploit the mortals and spread their religion very quickly.

They said to Warshaw, "We are in a good mood and have decided to bless this tribe with a boon after the selection of the new chief. But the boon we will grant your tribe will depend on how sincere they are. Let them offer us their best, and we might visit a great boon upon your tribe."

Warshaw took off immediately. She didn't know that they had lied to her, but she didn't need to know that. All she needs to have is blind faith in her god.

Legion watched her go and felt a little proud of their lie. It is because it is not truly a lie. They can just make up anything as the boon. For example, they can say that the grace of living for another day is the boon. After all, they are gods. The fact that they don't go on a killing spree is a boon to mortals.

Their request had already brought forth rewards when Axec and Hoggings heard it from Warshaw. They offered a lot of armor and weapons to the 9 Crowns.

So the clones' naked and exposed form was soon encased in the best armor that the Orcs could make, and they were soon wielding the best weapons available.

They were surprised that they could receive weapons as offerings, but they were even more surprised that the weapons could strengthen them. So they asked their angel about it.

"Non-living things can be received as an offering just like living things. And just like living things, anything received will be transformed into a useful form for the gods."

"Living things will be transformed into divine energy, while non-living things will be converted into divine artifacts. These weapons are just the lowest grade divine artifacts. No god can forge something poorer than it or as poor as it."

The clones didn't mind. Legion-1 said, "Low grade or not, it is better than nothing."

Legion-8 agreed. "Besides, it is free."

Legion-3 with a snicker, "It is better than free. It is like taking candy from babies."

They found it funny that the mortals are giving them their stuff. They believe that it would have been better for them to use those things to strengthen themselves, but they also understand that in God's Domain, mortals need the help of gods to access mana and grow stronger.

So the faith of the mortals in their useful gods is understandable. But that doesn't stop the whole thing from being funny because they don't need to steal something to get it. It is simply offered to them when they ask for it.

Next, they used insight on all the weapons to confirm. They found that the angel was right. They were all (Low Grade Divine Artifacts). They ranged from level 5 to level 10. Their level determines how much enhancement they can provide, but that's not all there is to them. The weapons have other properties.

The only bow, for example, provides more than a strength amplification.

(Hunting Bow (Low Grade Divine Artifact): Level 5)

(Enhancement: +5 Strength. Dual Notches. Bladed Limbs)

(Description: A bow for skilled hunters. It has two notches to shoot two arrows at the same time. It also has small blades attached to its two limbs for desperate close combat use)

The clones shared the weapons and armor amongst themselves. They tried to have different configurations so as to be able to meet the needs of various fighting situations and enemy types.

Legion-1: Heavy Metal Armor (+10 Endurance). Large Shield (+10 Endurance). Large Axe (+10 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-2: Light Leather Armor (+3 Endurance). Hunting Bow (+5 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-3: Light Leather Armor (+3 Endurance). Twin Daggers (+6 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-4: Medium Fur Armor (+6 Endurance). Single Edge Blade (+7 Strength). Single Edge Blade (+7 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-5: Medium Fur Armor (+6 Endurance). Spear (+7 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-6: Medium Fur Armor (+6 Endurance). Small Axe (+7 Strength). Small Axe (+7 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-7: Heavy Metal Armor (+10 Endurance). Heavy Bola (+7 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-8: Light Leather Armor (+3 Endurance). Throwing Knives (+5 Strength). Harpoon (+6 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

Legion-9: Light Leather Armor (+3 Endurance). Bladed Whip (+6 Strength). Hunting shoes (+7 Speed)

With their configuration, they are prepared for both long-range, medium-range, and close- range combat and enemies that require blunt, slashing, or piercing damage to be out down. Having weapons put Legion in a good mood for the rest of the day. They felt more secure against the attacks of other gods as they followed their Oracle around the tribe. Warshaw went to every house proclaiming the existence of gods and informing them of the fight that would take place in the morning. If they didn't know about the fight for chieftaincy that was to hold the day after tomorrow, they knew it after she shouted it at their gates for hours. She also invited them to a worship at her place in the evening with her loud voice.
