Wu Hui immediately walked out of the Grand Wizard Tower quickly and stopped in a secluded place in the forest outside. Then, his mind moved and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the solemn temple, Saint Catherine of Light was kneeling in front of the statue and praying quietly, with a hint of anger in her expression.
The Holy Maiden of Light has been more reserved recently. If she could get angry, it must be something serious.
Wu Hui's mind moved, and the statue of the God of Light on the shrine suddenly emitted a faint white glow. At the same time, a magnificent divine voice also appeared in the mind of the Holy Lady of Light: "What's the matter?"
"My Lord."
The Holy Lady of Light was delighted and immediately prostrated herself in front of the shrine, her blue eyes filled with enthusiasm: "It's like this..."
After listening to the narration of the Holy Maiden of Light, Wu Hui finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that the Holy See of Light had encountered problems in its missionary work in the Territory of Thorns.
The Territory of Thorns is an earldom, which is divided into 3 viscounties, 21 baronies, and 92 knighthoods. It covers an extremely vast area and has a population of nearly 300,000.
However, more people and more lords means that the lords have more thoughts.
With Blake Leighton succeeding as Earl of the Thorn Territory, he promulgated a series of policies favorable to the Holy See. At the same time, he opened up the entire Thorn Territory and allowed the Holy See to preach within the Thorn Territory. Many small nobles followed suit and opened their own territories to allow the Holy See to preach.
But among so many lords in the Territory of Thorns, only a few of them truly welcome the Holy See of Light from the bottom of their hearts. For the sake of their own authority and interests, most of the noble lords actually do not want the Holy See to preach in their territories.
They did not dare to openly reject the executive order issued by the new Earl Blake, but they were bound to pretend to obey it but secretly disobey it.
There had been a case before where a noble lord hired people to attend a church preaching rally. A bunch of extras performed passionately, making the priest who went there to preach think that the preaching was very effective and left happily. As a result, the noble ordered all the church books left by the priest to be burned, and did not allow civilians to keep any items related to the Church of Light in their homes.
If the pastor had not noticed something unusual when he went to the countryside to care for the common people and popularized knowledge on plague prevention and control, this matter probably would not have been discovered.
Although examples like this are rare, overt and covert obstruction is everywhere.
However, these were all expected, and the Holy Lady of Light was fully capable of handling them, so she would not disturb the God of Light. What really angered the Holy Lady of Light was another incident that happened afterwards.
Just today, a pastor was attacked on his way back from preaching in the countryside!
If the priest didn't have the magic scrolls and magic items bestowed by God, and couldn't use divine magic to heal himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back.
"My Lord, those nobles are used to being high and mighty. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they won't learn their lesson. Who knows how much trouble they will cause in the future."
Recalling the pastor's bloody and dying appearance, she felt as if a fire was lit in her heart, and her anger was rising: "My Lord, I request that the noble lord who did this be arrested and paraded through the streets, and burned at the stake in public as a warning to others."
