The current Justice Parish is really an ideal country, except for a few people...
On the way to the Eastern Temple, Mozo took a liking to being alone on the deck.
Do nothing, just empty your mind and look at the blue sky and white clouds.
It's a cop-out, very shameful, but at least it works.
But no matter how Mozo tried to escape, the airship arrived at the Eastern Temple.
The Eastern Temple is certainly not just a temple, although its official name is indeed the Eastern Temple.
But this is essentially a large city built around the Great Cathedral of the East.
It is a city that is much more prosperous and huge than the city of Alva in the Principality of Polivy.
At first, Mozzo even felt a great fear about arriving in the city.
This is a situation that has never occurred in the bitter cold land. The two are similar but completely different.
Because this time, Mozo really didn't know what he could do.
This made him afraid to stay on the deck any longer, but soon, Mozo stopped.
Because he saw this scene - most of the Eastern Temple had turned completely white, and the remaining small piece of gold was slowly turning into pure white thanks to the workers' efforts.
If that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make Mozo pause.
But Mozo discovered more.
That is, the Eastern Church not far away not only turned pure white in architecture.
Even the pedestrians and carriages coming and going on the city streets turned white.
At first glance, there are only a few colors mixed in the city that is about to turn pure white, and this last bit of alternative is slowly being swallowed up.
Color, wiped out?!
Regarding this scene, Mozo thought of a possibility. It was not something to be happy about, but this might be Mozo's only chance to be redeemed and to redeem himself.
385 'White' Devil (4k)
As the airship landed, Mozo discovered that not only he, but also the passengers and crew on the airship were amazed by the changes in the Eastern Temple.
They couldn't understand why the Eastern Temple had become like this in such a short period of time.
As the airship docked, some passengers were no longer satisfied with talking to their companions, but instead began to ask questions of the people at the dock.
Mozo didn't ask directly, but he listened to what was said as he passed by.
"Hey man, can I ask what's going on?"
As he spoke, the traveler and his companion pointed at their own normal-colored clothes and the other's pure white work clothes.
The dock worker said with some helplessness and uneasiness:
"This is what the church meant. They said it was caused by the devil and demanded that all places use white clothing and buildings."
"Demons are causing trouble?!"
This reason not only caused the passengers to exclaim, but also made Mozo stop where he was.
The demons in this world are different from the demons in Mozo's hometown.
In Mozo's hometown, demons are evil creatures portrayed as enemies of gods and humans. In some cases, they are considered to be evil concepts, but more often they are considered to be an evil race with incredible powers.
In this world, demons are a completely new race that evolved due to a certain path.
In this world full of the supernatural, demons are indeed a kind of creature that is completely different from humans and other races. However, they are not born that way, but evolved from other races because of the demonic path.
This means that demons were all 'humans' before they became demons!
The Demon Path is also recognized as one of the evil god paths, and is different from the Prophet Path, which is labeled as the evil god path because the main god and the extraordinary people of this path have a bad reputation.
Demonic Paths are inherently chaotic evil.
Because once someone chooses to become a transcendent being on the path of a demon, not only will his body gradually evolve into all kinds of strange and bizarre demons.
Even his consciousness will gradually be replaced by the 'devil'.
For example, the most classic sequence four in the demon path - the demon lord, will completely deprive the holder of his self, turning him into a demon who is completely loyal to desire and destruction!
This method is extremely powerful, because not only do the demons have physical and mental strength far beyond their peers in the early stages, but they also develop all kinds of strange abilities due to their different races and experiences.
Even other methods require at least demigod level to begin to receive the ability to pray and respond remotely, but for the demons, it can be done at Sequence Ten!
In other words, demons can "bewitch" mortals from the very beginning.
While the ability of low-sequence demons to receive and respond to prayers is certainly poor, it is still scary enough.
However, this path of gradually depriving oneself of oneself and turning oneself into chaotic evil is also clearly listed as an evil god, like a plague path.
Therefore, the devil's path has always been hated by everyone.
From the Age of Gods to the present day, the demonic path has rarely flourished, with the most recent one being when the Lord of Judgment began to ascend to godhood.
It was the end of the Mong Dynasty, and the orcs began to wander around the world.
Therefore, the demons also took advantage of the turmoil brought about by the orcs' great migration and rose rapidly. At the same time, the Queen's Empire of Loran also rose. It was at this time that Emperor Andal used the influence of the orcs' great migration to destroy the old seven kingdoms.
Finally, this was also when Mozo had just founded the Church of Justice.
And that was also Mozzo’s last dream opera.
It was also the first dream opera that did not follow a timeline.
When Mozo was still playing the loyalty game with the Queen, he always thought that the Lord of Judgment belonged to someone else...
It is obvious that before this dream opera, all of Mozo's identities followed the timeline, from the Sun King to the Duke of the North!
They are all constantly moving forward in layers, and it has never happened that the timeline of the later dream opera is actually before the previous dream opera.
Mozo still remembers that it was because of this incident, coupled with the fact that the Queen created a special zone in order to revive him, that his last bit of luck was completely shattered, and he therefore firmly believed that the Dream Opera was really just a beautiful dream...
When he thought of this, the corners of Mozo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
If it weren't for the Special Zone, he would have been able to do something better and more appropriate with Dream Opera.
After shaking his head, Mozo focused his attention on the present.
The past cannot be changed, so let’s focus on the present.
The conversation on the other side also continues:
"Brother, what's wrong with this demon? Weren't they beaten to death by the church a long time ago?"
The dock worker dressed in pure white also said helplessly:
"I know that, but how can I know what happened? I'm just an airship repairman!"
How could a small character like him know these things!
The two passengers who said this looked embarrassed, and pointed at the repairman's extremely white work clothes in a bit of a weird way and said:
"No, since you are a repairman, is this really okay?"
"No problem? How can it be no problem? But what can we do? Although work clothes and employee clothes were separated before, now even casual clothes are white. It's really troublesome for our line of work. After all, no one can guarantee that they won't always be clean."
"And if it gets stained with engine oil or something, it will be very troublesome. This white color really doesn't resist getting dirty!"
The other party nodded helplessly and asked again:
"Now that these are all changed to white, what about your old clothes?"
"What else can we do? Of course we have to destroy them all! The elders in the church seem to say that we must resolutely fight against the devil. But they will compensate us for our losses and give out free clothes. And I heard that all the major fabric merchants and tailor shops are rushing to make new white clothes. I guess after a while, although we can only wear white, we should be able to wear more diverse clothes? Probably."
After hearing this, Mozo left quickly.
He needed more intelligence.
After leaving the dock, the first place Mozo went to was a roadside restaurant. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong scent of perfume.
This made Mozo frown, and the waiter who came to greet Mozo said apologetically:
"I'm so sorry, sir. Our store has just been renovated. Although it's been a while since the paint job, the smell is still quite strong. We can only use these perfumes to cover it up first."
Upon hearing this, Mozo also looked around and found that although it was well covered, the decoration style of the store was obviously warm in color.
But now, it is very abrupt that all of them are dyed white.
After looking around, Mozo asked:
"Is this okay?"
The waiter said helplessly and strangely:
"It's a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem. After all, the goal is to completely eliminate the devil! Although we don't know what painting the walls white has to do with defeating the devil."
"But since the adults in the church have said so, then there must be no problem."
Although no one understood what the church's order meant, no one doubted it because of the long-standing prestige of the Church of Justice.
They all tried their best to cooperate with the church's orders.
As he spoke, the waiter led Mozo to an empty seat. After sitting down, Mozo lifted the white tablecloth and found that the table underneath was still the same yellow wooden table as before, which matched the decoration style of the store.
The waiter said a little embarrassedly:
"The change to all-white was a sudden request, and we have no choice but to deal with it this way for now. Originally, our boss wanted to close the store and wait for the renovation to be completed, but this time it seems that the entire parish is undergoing renovations."
"So there is a problem with supply. If we really have to wait until everything is ready, it will probably take one or two months, and a store will be closed for one or two months... Even if the adults in the church have corresponding subsidies, we can't afford it."
The waiter pointed to the white tablecloth and the perfumes on the table and said:
"Because there was a problem with the supply, even these were only obtained by our boss because of his connections. Otherwise, we would have been closed and losing money like many of our peers until now."
Hearing this, Mozo couldn't help but look around at the mostly empty tables and said:
“Can this passenger flow really guarantee profitability?”
The waiter immediately shook his head and laughed:
"That's definitely not possible, but with these customers plus the compensation the church gave us, we can be considered profitable! It's just not much."
"So the church is doing its best to ensure your normal life?"
"Yes, the adults in the church are so nice!"
Mozo nodded and suddenly asked:
"Do you really think this is a fight against the devil?"
The other party said strangely:
"If it's not to fight the devil, then why do this?"
After arriving here, Mozo stopped asking questions and just smiled and asked for the menu.
Then Mozo saw a pitiful menu with only a few dishes.
“What is this?”
The waiter said awkwardly:
"Didn't I tell you before that there's a problem with the supply? These are the only dishes we have. Otherwise, even if the perfume smell is too strong, our restaurant wouldn't have so few customers."
Mozo nodded in understanding and asked:
"Then can the daily lives of other citizens be guaranteed?"
The waiter nodded:
"It's definitely impossible to be the same as before, but it's not a big problem. It's just that the food and supplies are not as abundant as before. The adults in the church said that it will be restored soon. We just need to get through these few days."
Mozo didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he quietly finished his meal and left the restaurant.
Then Mozo stopped in front of a tailor shop.
The tailors in the shop were busy. When they saw Mozo coming, an apprentice holding a batch of white silk cloth immediately shouted apologetically:
"Sorry, customer, I forgot to put up the sign saying we are temporarily closed. Please go back. We are unable to open these few days because we have many orders to process!"
After Mozo nodded, he took off his hat as a polite gesture and left.
Afterwards, Mozo wandered around the dock of the Eastern Temple for a long time.
After a long tour, Mozo found that although everyone's daily life had been greatly affected, because of the prestige that the church had established over the years, the citizens had no complaints and were actively cooperating with the church.
