The astonishment of the messenger of the Scarlet Hand became more intense after entering the headquarters of the Church of Redemption.
"This is... a domain?! Such a large range?"
After the white-haired old man stepped into the church headquarters, his complexion changed again, and he looked in surprise at the aura that enveloped the entire church, which only extraordinary people could see.
He has only seen the power of this kind of field in a few very powerful dark monsters, and the other party can only affect his own small range, not as huge as the current one, covering the entire headquarters. go in.
"field?"
The saint who led the team smiled: "The guest is talking about the 'Holy House'? This is a gift from our Lord. Any place near the church will have the effect of this Holy House, which will benefit every believer!"
"Indeed... This field full of light power is very effective for soothing the soul and healing fatigue!"
Seemingly aware of his gaffe, the old man managed to regain his composure: "Seeing that the Church of Redemption has such great strength and worships a true God, I have more confidence in the purpose of this trip."
"Several distinguished guests, please follow me, the Pope is waiting to receive you!"
After a group of people passed through the church, the corridor, and a building full of religious flavor, a plump female priest with mixed characteristics of angels and devils was waiting there.
"This is Cardinal Lianna, currently serving as Secretary-General of the Pope!"
The saint introduced Joseph to several people.
"This woman..."
The old man's pupils shrank.
In his life, he has seen too many women, beautiful, pure, aloof, proud... Until now, he was almost unmoved by beauty.
What surprised him was the opponent's strength.
In his induction, the other party was like a bright torch, and the aura on his body was so hot that he felt a tingling sensation just by getting close to it.
Such an extraordinary person is actually just a priest, isn't that the Pope
'Sure enough... Rumor has it that the Pope of the Redemption Church has unfathomable strength, so it should be true! '
He thought silently.
If it wasn't for his own strength, how could he be able to suppress such a group of subordinates
"Thanks!"
Out of awe, the old man's voice became extremely polite.
Joseph did not have such a keen perception, but felt that the woman in front of him seemed extremely difficult to mess with.
He followed the elder and walked into the living room, his pupils suddenly shrank.
In the living room, there were only three people, and Bob, who had been hit by one of his men on the wall before, was also there, looking at the person in the middle with a very respectful expression.
The one in the middle is a very young and handsome young man, but he doesn't have the slightest youthful temperament on him. On the contrary, he has a deterrent of life and death brought about by being in a high position.
At this time, after seeing a few people coming in, he immediately showed a gentle smile.
"Praise you, Your Majesty the Pope, the glory belongs to the God of Redemption, who bestows upon you the authority on earth!"
According to the laws of this world, people with low status introduce themselves first, and the old man immediately saluted and said, "I am Elder Louis of Scarlet Hand, followed by Joseph, Luna!"
"welcome!"
Wu Ming nodded.
In the induction of this Louis, he was completely like an ordinary person, but the other party did not dare to have the slightest contempt.
Because of this situation, it can only show that he has sealed off the holy power to the point that he has reached the state of "returning to nature" in the Taoist description.
"Please sit down!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and let the three of Louis sit down.
"I am very pleased to hear that you are willing to surrender to the glory of our Lord!"
He smiled lightly.
Even if they are negotiating a deal, they must be covered up in the light. This is the rule of the game at the upper level.
"My lord, you know it!"
Louis used honorifics unknowingly, and put himself in the position of the weak: "We aliens can only live in the dark. In modern times, we have to hide ourselves firmly for fear of being discovered. Capture, study... as long as the God of Salvation is willing to protect us, we are willing to offer our faith!"
'Even if you say it badly, in fact, you are still reluctant to part with the power from the dark blood? '
Wu Ming complained silently in his heart.
In fact, he has a bit of disdain for these guys who are desperately trying to maintain the blood in their bodies.
Just for the power brought by that little blood, ignoring the law, light, ethics, and even risking everything, it is really crazy to a little bit perverted.
However, he still said gently: "No problem, the God of Salvation treats all life equally and does not discriminate! Even dark creatures can be bathed in the light of our Lord!"
Another meaning is to promise to use the power of the gods to continue the blood of these dark nobles.
Anyway, for the main god space, this is indeed a piece of cake.
"Thank you Pope!"
Wu Ming easily agreed, but Louis and the others were ecstatic.
After the Scarlet Ceremony has gradually failed, in order to maintain the blood in their bodies, they have almost exhausted all kinds of methods, to the point of almost despair.
Now, it has finally gained hope.
"Master Pope!"
This kind of guarantee for priests, especially those who serve the true God, is still very credible.
Therefore, Louis immediately came out to show his loyalty: "Our Scarlet Hand's properties in various places currently have 100 million gold dollars that can be used. I am willing to donate it all to the church!"
"Also, we have a lot of people and other vassal families in various places. Although they are all descendants with negligible blood in their bodies, they also have a certain influence. If there is anything, please order it down!"
Listening to Louis' narration, Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although this scarlet hand may seem a bit outrageous, it is still an association of supernatural beings that has been passed down to the present, and its background is quite good.
…
While Wu Ming was aggressively annexing dissidents and expanding the church, a major event that seemed small at the time but had a strong impact on future development also occurred in the distant Pandorn Empire.
Pandorn Empire.
This is a typical monarchy country. The steam revolution was initiated by the upper echelon and adapted to the trend of the times, thus becoming one of the three major powers. However, there are also very strong feudal remnants, and the conflicts within the empire are very sharp.
At this time, inside a bar.
"Brothers, we can't go on like this!"
A big man in the uniform of a private soldier seemed to have drunk too much, jumped onto the bar drunkenly, and complained loudly: "From the counter-insurgency war in the northern part of the empire to the colonial battle, our footprints are all over the extreme northern wilderness and tropical desert. , and oceans and islands... But, while we imperial soldiers are fighting outside, have our relatives and friends benefited? No!"
"All they can bear is the rising domestic rice price and depreciating currency!"
"Those aristocratic officers said that because of the existence of resistance, we need to endure labor pains, but the fact is... our factories are working day and night, and the plantations have gained huge profits, but none of these benefits have fallen to the civilians. head!"
"What's the reason for all this? Because the bureaucrats of the empire, those moths, have swallowed up all the benefits! We can't go on like this, watching our brothers and sisters be swallowed up by factories, watching the empire interfere with the redbud and golden oak wars, but cannot solve the food and clothing problem of a civilian... We want bread and butter, not cannon and war!"
"We will set up a parliament like the Kingdom of Golden Oak, and let the monarch retreat to the edge of the stage!"
…
It seemed that he drank too much wine, and the other party's words became more and more intense.
Most of the people gathered here are frustrated soldiers. They either have no hope of promotion, hate war, or their families are in poverty. They are exactly what the big man said. Coupled with the stimulation of strong alcohol, they roared Get up: "Bread and butter, not war! Kill those moths!"
"Establish a parliament of the people and send the nobility away!"
"Catch him!"
At this time, the door of the bar was roughly pushed open, and a large number of military police rushed in: "You dare to spread remarks that are unfavorable to the empire, this is a crime of treason!"
"Brothers, we have been silent for too long!"
With his hands tied behind his back, the big man was still roaring loudly: "Action! We hold the barrel of the gun, why don't we stab it hard down the throats of noble gentlemen?"
"Damn it, gag his mouth!"
The gendarmes were furious, looking at the bar where the crowd was excited, they didn't know which hand got nervous and the gun went off.
boom!
After a gunshot, there was a dead silence in the bar at first, and then fell into huge chaos.
…
"Isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?"
In a hidden corner of the bar, two people were quietly watching this scene, but the people around them seemed to turn a blind eye to them.
One of the men in black said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there will be a big mess after being disturbed by you like this!"
"This empire...is already sick!"
The person sitting in front of him said in a sad tone: "That soldier is right, we have indeed reached a time when we need to change... Since he wants to give the first drop of blood, I will grant his wish, but he One thing is wrong, we will be the ones leading the revolution! Because we have the power! With the technology and resources of the Lord God Space as our support, we can completely transform this country!"
"Yeah... There is also a reincarnation mission where you don't know when you will die!"
His companion, obviously not as confident as him, added a sentence very helplessly.
