Eutin Empire. The headquarters of the Church of Light.
Since the past two months, the Pope has been working on the floating island. He handed this matter over to a bishop of the Eutin Empire, who had certain privileges and summoned many people to study the magic circle on the floating island. At the same time, the labor force of various countries has also arrived in the Eutin Empire, and began to be sent to work. This is a big project, and no one knows how much the bishop got out of it.
Because of the war last year, the Eutin Empire had a bad crop. The bishop asked the empire to contribute enough supplies. Of course, the puppet king did let the lord under him do so, but the lord gave a lot of reasons, so there was not enough food.
After more than a month, many of those laborers starved to death. In addition, it was summer, and the corpses had not been treated well, and the smell was everywhere, like a purgatory on earth.
Theresa's father, Shelley Sr., went there occasionally and was shocked by the sight. Although he has retired, he couldn't sit still anymore. Relying on his old influence, he ran around and finally got some food and handed it over to the monitoring.
But a few days later, it was learned that the overseer had stolen half of the food, and the laborers were still hungry—but at least they wouldn't starve to death.
Old Shelley was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he really had no real power now, so he wrote to his son for help.
Teresa felt bad after receiving the letter. The church itself owns a large amount of land. Teresa and Ice Emperor Claude said that they took some food from Milheim, and then took away the Church of Light in Winter City. half of the food, and then personally led the team to forget the Eutin Empire. He put the food down to the bishop in charge, then went to the construction site in a rage, and beat up the overseer.
His reasons are rather strange: first, you have smuggled food for yourself; second, you have made the place of miracles in the future so stinky, are you an undercover agent sent by the demons to insult our beliefs! Do you not want our miracle to be completed smoothly by killing so many laborers
If it is just a reason for "privately embezzling food", this is the norm in the church.
But for the second reason, this hat is big enough, and it also highlights Teresa's character design of hating the demons. He beat the supervisor so heartily, and in the end it was the bishop who pulled him. … The overseer was a relative of the bishop.
Teresa hadn't returned to the headquarters of the Illuminati Church yet, and his story spread.
This can also be said to have heard its voice before seeing it. Teresa Shelley is currently well-known in the Illumination Church for being jealous of evil and hatred. After such a disturbance, everyone is even more afraid to provoke their family.
Some impure priests thought to themselves: Could this Teresa be less loyal? Can't you be more active
On the one hand, Teresa came back this time to go back to the headquarters to see the recent situation. Although he has great power in the local area, he cannot grasp the turmoil at the core of power in real time. There are advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. After all, he has been dormant for many years, and finally became the leader of the party. In the past, he thought this was the end, but now he, haha, has a lot of ambitions.
He had reported to the Pope before he came back this trip, and this time he also came to personally report on the situation of Mülheim in the past three months—he has been a bishop for three months.
The words mixed with truth and falsehood were clearly uttered by him at the meeting. Compared with a year ago, Teresa's growth is obvious.
"Ice Empress Claude is about to move, and has been trying to regain more power. On the court of Mülheim, our influence is getting less and less. I think the authority of the church needs to be further strengthened...
The communication month is here, and our believers have begun to actively preach in Winter City, but it is not ideal. The young children all have other interests. If things go on like this, the future of the church is worrying...
I think we should put pressure on the king to come to church every weekend and the church should do something real…”
The Pope listened to Theresa's words in the first seat, and nodded slightly. This is indeed a very good man. If he can continue to grow, he seems to have a chance to approach his position in decades. But that was decades later, so he seems too good now. This is not a good thing. Such a thought flashed through the pope's mind. Teresa is acting loyal at the moment, but is that really the case? Maybe we should find a chance to try it out.
"In addition, the new horror movie "Fairy Tale Hotel" was released in the Demon World Mall." Teresa said, "Five paladins watched it secretly, and then three were seriously injured. After waking up, they lost the ability to use the holy light. Nothing, their faith has been stronger since then.”
This news made everyone serious.
When Teresa reported the situation earlier, some priests were distracted.
"The three paladins who were seriously injured were not firm in their faith," Teresa said nonsense with her eyes open, "while the remaining two are good children who are loyal to their faith. According to the results of my investigation, the movie can be screened out Priests whose beliefs are not firm, can reveal their true colors."
"This... how could such a thing happen? This is a trick of the demons!" said a priest.
"A lot of ordinary people are fine. The Demon World Mall should know that this movie may have additional effects on paladins, so paladins are forbidden to enter before the movie is shown." Teresa looked at him and said coldly: "For priests In other words, as long as you are pious enough, you can overcome fear, and ungodly people will cause riots of the Holy Light, isn't this a very understandable thing?"
It does make sense from this perspective, and Bishop Teresa will not lie. He hates evil like hatred, he has firm beliefs, wait, he mentions this here, could it be...
"I think this is a good opportunity for us to clean up." Teresa said in a word: "I think the current church is full of dirt." After he finished speaking, some people were sweating coldly behind their backs up. Then he looked at the people in the conference room one by one with sharp eyes, "I brought the projection stone here, and I think it is necessary to show it now. I am confident that I can pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and I hope everyone can do the same."
If Hill heard this, he would probably say: You are as thick-skinned as I am.
People in the church thought Teresa's words were very authentic. In the past years of dormancy, Teresa rarely made assertions, so his words at this moment will hardly make people suspect that he has ulterior motives.
Some people in the meeting room looked a little ugly.
The Pope was lost in thought.
The Pope is no fool. Are everyone in the church fanatics? Of course not. Does he care? don't care. The church is an organization detached from the world, but at the same time it is rooted in the world. Secular power needs to be controlled by secular people, otherwise there will be trouble.
Does the Pope like people like Theresa? like. But he doesn't want too many such people in the upper echelon, because he is more interested in secular power than divine power.
So the pope said gently: "Bishop Shelley, I understand what you mean, but your idea is too simple."
Teresa frowned slightly: "Your Majesty."
"After all, this belongs to the demons. Although I trust your judgment, the demons are very cunning, and there may be other side effects. We cannot disappoint our believers, and we need to be responsible for every believer." The pope said kindly .
Teresa nodded, and then turned directly to the bishop in charge of the floating island: "There are also believers among those peasants, why are they taking away their food? Why aren't they responsible?"
Teresa's sudden attack made the bishop panic, and he said quickly: "I will punish the supervisor severely, this matter is my negligence."
Teresa nodded, "That would be great."
These people sitting here understand that Teresa is using the power of the Pope.
Offending a bishop for some humble labor... Teresa, she is really a good person, a good person. Many people thought with surprise and anger.
After completing the murder with a borrowed knife, Teresa turned to the Pope again: "Then, Your Majesty, about that movie..."
The Pope said casually, "Ban it."
Teresa frowned fiercely, and finally said unwillingly: "I obey."
hateful. Damn it. He seems to have messed things up.
02.
At this moment, everyone still doesn't know the news that "Fairy Tale Hotel" will be banned. If it is really banned, then there will be a gap in the movie for a while, because Hill can't come up with a new movie in a short time. He still has a lot of things to do. This will directly disrupt Hill's rhythm and plan.
Fortunately, apart from movies, there are other colorful things in the Demon World that attract human beings.
josh kenny. tavern.
Two businessmen are having a lively conversation.
"Scared me last night!"
"Did you watch Fairy Tale Hotel last night?"
"No, it wasn't "Fairy Tale Hotel" that surprised me. It was the novel that was recently serialized in "Makai Magazine."
"Which one?"
"The Godfather is the one about the dark organization in the future world."
"That's not scary. I don't think it's very interesting after reading the first chapter. The propaganda says it's a dark organization, but it doesn't look dark at all. The leader of that organization looks like a boring nobleman."
"Let me tell you that the plot last night was too alarming. Didn't the godfather's godson want to act in a movie, but the boss of the movie company disagreed?"
"Well, I saw that the godfather's adopted son was still deflated, so I thought it was boring so I stopped watching it."
"Let me tell you," said the merchant, "didn't the merchant show off his wealth to Hagen and his horse worth sixty thousand gold pieces?"
"yes."
"The businessman woke up in the morning and saw that the horse's head had been cut off and inlaid in the center of a blood cake, with the long white tendons exposed. I clearly remember the description in the novel, the horse's eyes were bleeding from internal bleeding Spotted like a rotten peach... Then, this horse head was placed beside his bed."
"My God!" cried the businessman. "What did the film businessman do? Did he pass out?"
"Of course he threw up, and then he lost his mind and scolded Hagen, but he quickly and cowardly agreed to let the godfather's godson play in that movie."
"How did the godfather do it? Wasn't there no magic in that era?"
"That's why it's scary! First sneak into the man's stable, avoiding all the guards—perhaps the guards have been bribed, and how much effort it takes to cut off the horse's head neatly! Just think, he finished cutting the horse's head He also entered the merchant's bedroom and quietly placed the bloody thing beside his bed... "
"This threat is really terrible..." Recalling the godfather's appearance like a nobleman when he first appeared, the image of 'Godfather' stood up impressively.
In this issue of "Devil Magazine", there is a comment about "The Godfather" using horse heads as a deterrent.
"The meaning conveyed by the godfather is very clear. First, the people around you can be bribed by me. The safe release you think has no effect on me; second, if you want, I can kill you without anyone noticing; third , You said, should I do this? In contrast, Woltz, this big film businessman turned around and scolded Hagen with a sound transmission device, but it was not a threat, it was just vomiting, and it was an admission of his own Failed. Because if you can’t do it with cruel words, it’s funny, and you hit yourself in the face.”
This comment has attracted widespread attention, because there are too many things worthy of attention recently, and everyone is not particularly enthusiastic about this new serial novel.
As long as it is noticed, then this book will definitely attract many people.
"Sign it, or your brains will be all over that document in a minute."
"I'll give him an offer he can't refuse."
"Never hate your enemy, it will cloud your judgment."
"If history has taught us anything, if life has taught us anything, it's that we can kill anybody."
The famous lines in these churches are quite famous on the earth, and his brilliance can be seen from this.
With the development of the plot and the construction of the framework, the chilling temperament of the book also spreads.
This work is actually very meaningful to the devil world.
Prior to this, the demons that Hill photographed were all directly positive images, and the demons that appeared in them were good people who were "true, good and beautiful". But is this the case with real demons? of course not. The current appreciation level of human beings is still very orthodox, and Hill's previous films also catered to this, so he constructed an illusory image.
Not so with The Godfather. This is a very dark book. Everyone knew that the Godfather was not a good man, and everyone knew what he was doing was illegal, but he was so wise, so respected, and so charming.
He's not a good guy in the traditional sense. But I still like him.
That's what Hill wanted.
Hill attaches great importance to the three parts of "The Godfather". The first generation of Godfather is more acceptable, because he has shown a kind and kind side, so he can take advantage of it and not be too disgusting, so that everyone Frogs were boiled in warm water.
When it comes to the second-generation godfather, his goal is to whitewash the family, which can be said to be a very positive goal, but others are more decisive and ruthless. The second godfather tore away all the warmth, leaving almost only bloody and naked gangsters Benefits, he was betrayed by various people one after another, and lived alone all his life. In the movie, he said to the corpse of his old godfather friend: "Why have you been loved all your life, and why have I been feared by others?" And the tragedy is fully revealed. At this time, the frog is almost cooked, so those who have been chasing it can accept it and be moved by it.
After reading the "Godfather" trilogy, many people's thinking and aesthetics will be changed a lot.
"Fairy Tale Hotel" is still hot, and "The Godfather" has finally shown its energy.
Hill was very happy when he heard the news in the Demon Realm. At the same time, he was ready to push the girl group out while the iron was hot.
However, Teresa sends news that the Pope wants to ban "Fairy Tale Hotel".
