After returning to the Lord's Office, Gao Wen asked Amber to bring in all the information collected about the Church of the Light and the activities of the cultists in the past.
Noticing that Gao Wen’s face was gloomy and serious, Amber knew that he must have smelled something from the recent wind direction. She couldn’t help but wonder: “What? Do you think the Church of Light has a conspiracy?”
"It seems that letting you manage the information is still a bit progressive," Gao Wen glanced at the amber with a glance. "Do you feel that something is wrong?"
Amber waved his hand: "Oh, that's not there, I just think that the gods stick to live is a conspiracy."
Gao Wen: "..."
"Hey, let’s talk about it," Amber squinted and came up again. "I do think that the recent action of the Church of the Light is too radical, but this is a change that everyone can see, and it is also caused by recent situations. What do you still see?"
"Since the leaders of the major sects signed the Holy Covenant at the peak of the ancestors, although the sects have different ideas and differences, they still maintain peace for 700 years. In these seven hundred years, it is not the time when there are no cultists. But at that time, no one sect had pointed the finger at other Orthodox churches. The Church of the Light has a special advantage in fighting against evil forces and purifying corruption, and those churches that are biased towards the dark and negative are unable to fight against the cultists. But the Church of Light has always been in the form of a leader, helping and guiding the weak churches to fight together."
Gao Wen said as he puts the information in his hand aside: "This is also the most normal and correct choice, because the social functions of each sect are different. The Holy Light can fight evil, and the abundance can ensure agriculture. War gods sheltered warriors, guided war order and post-war reconstruction, blood gods control private desires to monitor contract behavior, human survival is not only a goal against cultists, when there are cultists, the Holy Light Church comes forward and encounters other troubles. Other churches naturally have their own values. I understand that the priests of the Church of Light can theoretically understand."
Amber pouted: "But now they are obviously suppressing other denominations."
“Yes, suppress other sects,” Gao Wen nodded. “Since last fall, as cults have become more frequent in Ansu, the Church of Light has been developing and expanding in the name of cracking down on cultists. By the end of the winter, they began to suppress and crowd out the sects that were not effective in the fight against the cultists. This situation has recently intensified. People are sometimes blind, especially in panic, cultists The threat is increasing day by day, so almost everyone has tolerated and acquiesced in the practice of the Church of Light, and many people are still applauding."
“Those who are crowded out of the church will not sit and wait to die,” said Amber. “In many places, the members of the church that have been crowded out have had a direct conflict with the Holy Light official. Although the Holy Light Church is big, it is not the first in the world. Fighting monks and church cavalry are not unique to them."
"I doubt it... The Church of the Light is waiting for everyone to rebel," Gao Wen put his hand on the table and his brow wrinkled. "They are too obvious and too rushed to other sects. If this thing makes me To do it, I certainly will not directly suppress all heresy in the country like them. Instead, I will first draw a part of the church with a higher affinity to the Holy Light, and then turn those churches that are dark to the world into a heresy. Playing a wave to dispel the opponent, but now the behavior of the Church of Light... not so much as to slowly weaken other sects, the performance now seems to be forcing other sects to unite and fight against them. The religious war has lost both sides..."
"No..." Amber looked at Gao Wen with suspicion. "Maybe it's not so complicated. Those sacred priests are so straight-eyed. They don't want to be positive. After all, not everyone is as embarrassed as you are." It is differentiation and disintegration. Who knows this winding?"
"Do you think that people who can climb to the top of the church will be as heartless as you?" Gao Wenbai glanced at the half-elf. "It’s not a too clever trick to pull a wave. I believe in the power of the Cathedral of Light." Those who can definitely think of this step, now that they have not done so... I have to suspect that they are still trying to achieve a bigger goal. Of course, it does not rule out that the Church of Light has too much self-confidence and feels that it can rely on its own strength. Reincarnate all the faith in the world..."
While saying this, Gao Wen’s mind could not help but emerge a figure.
The long hair of pale gold, the simple robes of the gods, extraordinary to the temperament of human beings, always lingering in the surrounding light...
The "Vrind of the Virgin", Veronica Moen...
Is she at the top of the Church of the Light and also a member of the royal family, and is it related to the activities of the Church of the Light today? What role did she play in this process? If there is her push in all these changes, then after Cecil’s dealings with the “Vrind of the Virgin”, it’s worth paying attention...
The Cathedral of Light, the Great Hall of Light, the pure holy disc floats on the dome of the hall, and the surface of the dome that depicts the image of the Kingdom of God is plated with a layer of faint, water-like halo. As bright as ever.
The bishops reported on the recent eradication of evil and suppression of heresy in various parts of the kingdom. Their calm and steady voice is like the light that floats on the dome, but the content they report is not as peaceful as their voice.
"Your Majesty, the cults who have been purified by the Light are increasing, and the power of the Lord has been manifested, but those stubborn and ignorant pagan believers are becoming new troubles," said a bishop with a high crown. In Boulder City, since the Church of the Blood God, which was secretly manipulated by the cultists, was demolished, a large number of pagan believers who believed in blood gods refused to accept the correct faith and refused to accept the opportunity of baptism, purification, and rehabilitation. Those believers were expelled from the city. But wandering in the wilderness, the invaders attacked the priests we sent out to spread the light."
Another bishop went on to say: "A similar situation has occurred in the western plains. The believers of the Shadow God began attacking our priests after being exiled, and even attacked ordinary light believers. They caused great panic in the local area. ”
The old Saint Ivan III raised his eyelids slightly, and there was no emotion in his voice: "Their behavior is confirming our ruling, isn't it?"
"Exiled, they prove that they are suspect, and we give them the opportunity to change their letter. This is an opportunity for them to prove their innocence. Those who are not infected by evil will certainly not be afraid to embrace the light, fear of embracing the holy Light is a proof of breaking into evil.
"They became robbers, attacked the priests, attacked the innocents, and refused to embrace the light and refused to change the letter before. This proves that they are indeed evil people. As long as we point this out, the world will naturally distinguish between right and wrong."
"Your wisdom has cleared our confusion," the first opening bishop bowed his head. "Follow your will."
The bishops then continued to report, report on the progress of the church knights, report the increase in the number of believers, report on the spread of the light faith in various regions, and the progress of the newly implemented “redemption money” to gather money...
St. Ivan III squinted, as if to fall asleep, as if still listening to the reports one by one, the voices of the bishops rumbled in his ears, and the greater and more in his mind. The unfathomable, more vast and sacred sound of the sacred sound, this coveted old pope pays attention to the voices of the bishops with a small part of his brain, but listens to the voice from the depths of his spiritual world with a large part of his brain power.
That is the voice of the Lord.
The voice of the Lord is whispering and incomprehensible, but it contains endless wisdom, and it is necessary to listen to it in order to distinguish the truth of a trace of the world.
Veronica stood quietly beside the pope, and she lowered her head slightly, soft and quiet, and the light that emanated from her swayed through the hall, covering everyone, with those The Holy Light radiating from the bishop produces an extremely complex and constantly resonating moment.
This “sacred resonance” is the source of light everywhere in the entire Cathedral of the Light.
After the bishops finally finished reporting, the voice of the rumbling rumbling in the Great Hall of Light was quiet, and Saint Ivan III opened his eyes slightly, and his voice whispered and said: "End?"
Veronica bent down beside the pope: "Yes, Your Majesty, the bishops have left."
"I heard the voice of the Lord," St. Ivan III whispered. "That is a great voice... The Lord must be delighted by our efforts."
"Yes, the Lord is pleased with what we have done," Veronica said softly. "He wants this world to be His heavenly kingdom. We must clear the world's heresy evil."
"We must clear the world's heresy evil for the Lord..." St. Ivan III groaned low and slowly fell into a deep dream, and continued to embrace the indescribable whisper of the **** of light from the dream. Whispered.
Cecil collar, in the buffer camp on the banks of the White River.
After getting permission to settle down and get a place where you can lie down and sleep, after getting a hot meal, those who have been scared for dozens of days from the plains of the Holy Spirit finally feel a little relief.
They thanked the lord for his kindness and lamented the high text. Cecil really is a hero who is broad-minded and protects the people, but more is thinking about his future survival.
They are still unable to enter the city for the time being. Although they have already seen the clean and prosperous city, they must live in the “buffer camp” outside the city before passing the final review. This is the last source of their uneasiness.
No one knows what the content and form of the review is, and no one knows how long the review process will last, and how the results of the review will go, although they understand the lord's cautiousness in this regard, but as long as there is no elution in one day. The suspicion of "cultivists", they will not be able to keep their hearts.
Those who fled from the plains of the Holy Spirit all the way to the shacks assigned to them, whispered about the future, discussed the past, and then the door of the shack was suddenly pushed away.
They looked up nervously and saw an extraordinarily tall figure standing at the door.
They thought it was a strong warrior, but soon they saw the man wearing a priest's robes.
The robe rubbed the side and eluted the color, but still can be seen as a robes of the Light Lord.
Everyone is nervous and turbulent.
"Don't be afraid," Wright opened his hands and walked slowly toward those who were showing fear and vigilance. "I don't have weapons, no malice, nor come to interrogate heresy."
"I just want to talk to you."
