"Speaking of which..."
Everyone's gazes soon shifted to Fang Mo, clearly curious. "As a mage, do you have any particular requirements when it comes to faith?"
"Me?"
Fang Mo had been watching the show. Hearing that, he gave it some thought. "Well, faith mostly depends on what you usually do. Mages generally don't have any particular requirements for faith, but personally, I lean more toward Buddhist philosophy."
"Buddhist philosophy?"
Avdol slowly nodded. "I heard that one of Buddhism's places of origin was India."
"That's surprising."
Joseph could not help scratching his head in astonishment. "I thought someone like you wouldn't have any faith at all. Or that you'd worship some evil god or something. I didn't expect it to be so ordinary."
"I just said that."
Fang Mo spread his hands. "Faith mostly depends on what you usually do."
"Hm?"
The group exchanged glances, clearly not understanding what Fang Mo meant.
"Let me give you an example. Suppose you believe in God."
After thinking for a moment, Fang Mo slowly said, "If you need a bicycle, praying to Buddha definitely won't help. He'll only tell you to work hard yourself. But God is different—you can just steal a bicycle first, then pray to God to forgive you."
"?"
Everyone was visibly dumbfounded.
"That doesn't sound right."
Fortunately, Kakyoin Noriaki soon could not help but complain, "If you commit countless evil deeds and kill many people... even God would send you to hell."
"Ah... you've hit the nail on the head!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Mo grinned and raised a finger. "If you've committed countless atrocities and slaughtered people like flies, then you really can't believe in God. But Buddha is different. Buddha will tell you to lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."
At this point.
