"I can't believe that you can actually develop so many believers. You have done something that even Silanberg has not done!" Stan said with emotion on his face. For them, the mercenary country is an indescribable thing. Where they entered, the vast majority of mercenaries were too lazy to believe in any doctrine. Coupled with the joint boycott of several super mercenary groups, although the priests often operated in the mercenary country, they basically had no effect. In comparison, Warner's results are very shocking. Looking at the hundreds of believers sitting silently praying in the church, and then thinking about the attitude of the passers-by towards Warner when walking with Warner, Stan felt that Warner in front of him It's really unusual.
"Sir, you are giving me too much of a reward. This has nothing to do with my ability, but their desire for God's favor." Warner said lightly. An Fei once talked to him specifically and warned him to have a high profile in everything, which would be very beneficial to him in recruiting believers. An Fei also told Ozgucci and others, asking them to give Warner some face.
Warner did follow An Fei's words. An Fei's attitude was the benchmark for the major leagues. The mercenaries suddenly discovered that Warner's status had improved a lot. Even when they met An Fei, he behaved neither humble nor overbearing, and Özgucci and others The leader's attitude towards Warner also became very polite. Gradually, more and more people believed in the Light Religion, including some mercenaries. Strictly speaking, they did not believe that the God of Light would save or help anyone. Purely because of Warner's change in identity, he was unable to get close to the real-power leaders of Ozguch. It was good to be close to Warner, and there was no harm to them in believing in the doctrine, it was just a waste of more time.
Seeing that Warner was not arrogant at all, Stan thought highly of Warner even more, and asked tentatively: "There are still mercenaries among your followers... Master An Fei won't interfere with you?"
"Master An Fei has always respected us priests very much. Why would he interfere with me?"
"Respect?" Stan couldn't help but smile and shook his head. The changes in the Holy See are only changes at the policy level, and the facts are always facts. An Fei killed hundreds of light priests and light knights in Zeng Green City at once. Such ruthless methods do not seem to have anything to do with respect.
"I know why you don't believe me." Warner said slowly: "However, I think your views are a bit extreme." In fact, Warner has been a little uneasy at this moment, although Stan's reputation is not as famous as Silamberg. , but he is a high priest after all, and his status is far higher than him. Fortunately, Warner has tempered it. When he first listened to An Fei's words, he changed his attitude towards others. When he saw An Fei, he just nodded or said hello politely. He was more nervous than he is now, but An Fei often encouraged him with a smile. He didn't mean to blame him at all, but Ozgucci and others were even more polite to him. Without those previous exercises, he would probably be timid now.
"oh?"
"I have been with Mr. Anfei since the time of the town of Mora March. I think I have the most say." Warner said in a positive tone: "Sir Anfei has always regarded me as his friend. , Later, Knight Fernando also came to the town of Mora March, and Anfei had a very good attitude towards Knight Fernando. Unfortunately, Fernando’s Bright Knight was too arrogant, and he repeatedly pointed fingers in front of Sir Anfei. Sir, please change it. Angle, what would you think if mercenaries often behaved rudely in front of you?"
"Isn't that the case?" Stan frowned and asked, "The area under Fernando's command are all Knights of Light who have undergone rigorous training. How could he be so rude?"
"Of course they won't be rude in front of you, but outside, they forget the rules they must abide by. Sir, Sir An Fei walked out of Moramachi Town. He fought in all directions, and I always followed him. , I can clearly see everything that happened, I can swear on my life!"
Stan looked thoughtful.
"Even if Fernando's men repeatedly offended Lord Anfei, Lord Anfei never said anything hostile to the Holy See. He just said that Fernando is not easy to get along with, and he should stay away from these people in the future."
"It seems...the Holy See really needs to pay attention to etiquette in this area. To avoid causing trouble that shouldn't be caused." Stan said with a bitter smile.
"As for what happened in Zeng Green City, I think you should also understand the cause. In fact, I was with Master An Fei at that time and had the ability to prevent the tragedy from happening, but I did nothing in the end." Warner saw that he could actually control Standy thought and got emotional, so he simply boasted about it.
"Why?" Stan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned sharp: "Mr. Warner, whether you admit that you are still a priest or not, priests of the Holy See, they are all your former colleagues, you can't bear to watch them being slaughtered What!"
"Haha..." Warner showed a faint smile, using laughter to relieve the uneasiness in his heart. He realized that he had exaggerated too much: "Sir Stan, why don't you want to think about the reason? It was them and a man named Deshelette. The great swordsmen joined forces to assassinate Master An Fei. God said that all living beings are equal! Everyone who does something wrong must be punished! What's more, what they committed is an unforgivable sin. Master Stan, if it were you, you would Will they really stop it?"
"Of course!" Stan said categorically: "After all, there are only a few people involved in the conspiracy. How can they massacre all the light priests and light knights!"
"I see... As the high priest of the Holy See, I really didn't expect that you would be so short-sighted!" Warner sighed, and he simply decided that he would not return to the Holy See anyway. Even Stan would come to talk to him specifically because he has the status he has today, just because he has the Scroll of Redemption in his hand, but the Scroll of Redemption should not belong to him. If he really goes back, the Vatican will have a thousand, Ten thousand reasons take away the Scroll of Salvation, then who is he
"I'm short-sighted!" Stan said coldly.
"The conspiracy has been exposed. The shameless behavior of those light priests and knights has aroused the anger of all mercenaries. If I forcefully stop it... Yes, with my friendship with Master An Fei, I can keep most of the priests and knights, but you Have you ever thought about the future?" The risk-taking Warner's expression was even colder than Stan's: "If I do this, Master An Fei will think that I and those priests are the same kind of people, or that all priests are the same! Can I still maintain my friendship with Master An Fei? Can I still be trusted by the mercenaries? Now, can I still recruit so many believers!"
Without waiting for Stan to answer, Warner continued with great dignity: "No! Mr. Stan, connivance and cover-up are tantamount to tarnishing the glory of God! If I do what you said, the Holy See will give people who live on this land It will leave a very bad impression on the people, and it will also have long-term and bad consequences!”
Stan was stunned there and remained silent for a long time.
"No matter whether you still accuse me or not, and no matter what the Holy See thinks, I don't regret my original decision." Warner's tone was a little heavy: "At least I can freely recruit believers here now, and I have the support of Master An Fei. Give me a few years, and I can make the entire mercenary country bathe in divine grace!"
Stan was touched once again. Being able to spread the doctrine widely and recruit believers in the land of mercenaries has always been the goal of the Holy See. Unfortunately, it has always had little effect. Looking at Warner's confident look and the current results, he wants to come to Warner Be very serious. "Sir, I don't think you have read the teachings carefully! Although we are priests, all living beings are equal, and we are not nobler than mercenaries!" Warner pointed the finger at Stan: "An Fei's status among mercenaries is supreme. Yes! You might as well think about it, if the Pope is assassinated, will the light priests and light knights give the murderer a chance to defend himself? "
"Yes, the situation was very chaotic, and there must be many innocent people who didn't know what happened, but I think that instead of sympathizing with those innocent people, we should focus on prevention and not let similar tragedies happen again. ! What's more, the anger of tens of thousands of mercenaries must be vented, and Lord An Fei's anger must also be vented. He has been repeatedly offended by Fernando's bright knights before, and with that assassination, I know very clearly that Lord An Fei's anger must be vented. My patience has reached its limit.”
Warner keeps talking more and more vigorously, and while justifying his lies, he also portrays himself as a wise person who thinks about the overall situation.
"Maybe... you are right." Stan said with a bitter smile, and then changed the subject: "Mr. Warner, I heard that you have activated the Scroll of Salvation several times?"
"Yes, what?" Warner's expression became even colder. In fact, An Fei's worries were unnecessary. Even if he reached an agreement with the Holy See and issued an order, Warner would not hand over the Scroll of Salvation, absolutely not! Warner would rather die than lose his wife.
"The Pope heard about your experience, you..."
"When I was being hunted by my colleagues, I was no longer the original priest." Warner interrupted Stan: "Now I am just an ordinary person who is willing to spend his life spreading God's grace!"
"You are too worried." Stan smiled: "The Pope said that everything is God's will. Haha... At that time, the Pope didn't know that you had made so many achievements, otherwise, I would be more pleased. "
"How..." Warner was shocked. It took him a while to realize that Stan was hinting to him that the Holy See had acquiesced to all this. He almost burst into tears of gratitude, but in the end he controlled his expression in time.
Facts have proved that if you want to live more comfortably, you cannot live without a supporter! If Warner is just one person, even if he does what he says, he may not be able to get the acquiescence of the Holy See. The key is that he is An Fei's person!
An Fei's strength has risen extremely fast. In the minds of many people, he is already a natural saint-level powerhouse in the future. The Vatican cannot ignore this existence. What's more, after Se Jialan was killed, Stan's faction has completely occupied Shangfeng, the past is in the past. The first priority now is to repair the relationship with the Mao Empire and try his best to get close to An Fei. With these conditions, Stan will not force anything at all.
