"Is the Church of the Holy Spirit forced to this point?"
When I learned of some people's shameless behavior, not only did I not feel angry, on the contrary, I was very happy.
Sometimes, the leader is also the winner. For the leader, such as a monopoly with a market occupancy rate of more than 80%, as long as they do not take risks or make big mistakes, it is difficult for the latecomers to catch up.
For a behemoth like the Holy Church, the pressure that can be exerted from the outside is really limited. If there is no internal disagreement, if they are united, they will be able to eat for hundreds of years.
And this time, it finally made a mistake, a big mistake.
I can understand that it made such a choice. Under the current situation, it is not necessarily a wrong choice. On the contrary, because the church has a very strong foundation, it is a very good decision.
Everyone knows the principle of accumulating gold and destroying bones. The Holy Church has the advantage of public opinion. Of course, they can play whatever they want. From this, it can be seen that they have been smooth sailing for too long and feel their status He would not be challenged at all, and even looked down on Ayer a little bit.
Their high-level expectations are probably only to use this battle report to stabilize the situation for this period of time. After this period of time, once the jihad has entered a stalemate period, I am afraid not to mention that countries still remember this matter, maybe because of the unfavorable war. beg for it.
And even if it does come to the future, this matter is turned out to raise troubles. Originally, the announcement of military exploits was ambiguous, and it mainly said "victory under the guidance of the Holy Light". When most of the human beings in this world believe in the Holy Light At that time, it is true that this statement cannot be said to be wrong, and it can be denied to the end with a clerical error.
But if you take 10,000 steps back, in case the Church of the Holy Church falls into a weak position, it will just be used as an excuse to pursue it to the end. At that time, he will use "Cardinal Stephen worried that the war will adversely affect his future, lied about the military situation, and deceived the upper echelons of the church. , I have already deprived of my teaching position and committed suicide in XX Mountain.” Such explanations are enough, anyway, people are already dead, and the blame has been taken.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened a lot. As long as someone takes the blame in the end, and the tree does not fall, it can only be a matter of fact.
What the Templar Church needs now is to eliminate the negative effects of the first battle as much as possible, and to encourage the fighting spirit of the entire Holy Light side. Of course, it would be better if the presence of a certain Ayer side could be eliminated.
But there is one thing, I am afraid that the Pope himself did not see it, and this is the biggest mistake.
He underestimated those contract heroes, and even completely ignored their existence!
In this incident, the biggest victims are not me and the wood spirit of Oak Town or even Ayer's side. We don't need to prove our ability to the world, and there are opportunities to stand out, and we can ignore the glory of this battle.
But for the contract warriors who risked their lives and desperately wanted to break out of their own fame and glory, this epic battle has changed their lives. The shining military medals are still on their chests, but the ducks who have already received them But he was robbed, and if he bragged to others in the future, he might even be regarded as a liar.
This is a fatal pain for those young people who "honor is higher than life". I am afraid that they will remember these hypocritical villains in their lives. At least, these clergymen have been hostile to other adventurers these days. , and even several young priests once again chose the gods they should serve.
Popes and cardinals have become accustomed to their superiority, but they have forgotten that the most terrifying thing about human beings is their growth.
Perhaps, they are only rookies who are humble and humble, and when the "justice points" promote their growth, when these first batch of crab tasters become the veterans of this industry, when they rely on the military merit system obtained from this system. When the power is emerging everywhere, these hidden bombs and lingering bad feelings will really come into play.
In fact, in the not-too-distant future, the third item in the workbook given to young rookies by the seniors who are already in their early stages is, "The clergy who truly believe in the Holy Light may be trusted, but the Holy Church is a group of Old bastard, never give your back to them, or he will take the honor that should belong to you and burn you alive as a heretic. Don't you believe it? Think of Oaktown."
And once the bad feeling is established at the very beginning, I am afraid that no matter how much you do, it will be difficult to restore.
Of course, for the Church of the Holy Church, their own "Holy Blessed System" is enough, so how could they think of what impact this competing "Contract Hero System" will have on the world, those seedlings Will they become real heroes
Of course, even if we know what to do and are satisfied with this ending, doing nothing is not enough.
Even if our Ayer side is indeed inferior to the opponent's Holy Light side, but since we have been beaten, if we don't take revenge and go back, doesn't it seem that we are too weak, and in this world, weakness itself is an original sin, he will let The wolves who were looking around put down their guard and started to raid.
"What is Ayer going to do? Or has it been done?"
At this time, the boss should naturally make a decision. In my mind, Ayer is not a person who is used to swallowing his voice.
"... In the past few days, two meteors have fallen. Although the Holy Church did not issue an announcement, the small church of the God of Discipline and the God of Punishment has not received a response from the true God, and the pastors have also lost their divine power. Although these two Even gods have no sense of existence, they are just quasi-gods who are among the mortals, but they are all subordinates of Cui Matt, the god of asceticism, you should understand this silent fall."
In ancient myths, the falling of stars is also the manifestation of the falling of the gods, but in fact, the meteors are not necessarily the falling of the gods, but the falling of the gods will definitely cause meteors... Well, in fact, the kingdom of God and the throne of God are burning and falling to the heaven. The scene, when witnessing that scene, all beings will instinctively know that God is dead, just as once someone ascends to God, the whole world will know.
I have never heard of these two gods, but I found out that they were both demigods who had successfully become envoys of the Holy Church in the past, and then loyal to the true God and shared the priesthood and divine power. Their churches are all in Inside the Holy Church, the God of Discipline will provide heretics with some magical techniques to track down heresy, while the God of Punishment is a master of extorting confessions by punishment. Both gods are super weak gods, and they are completely Cui Matt’s son of a bitch. And Tremat is the son of the God of Light.
"... I heard that it seems, well, at least in face, this is the work of the powerful god of asceticism, whose teachings advocate an almost self-abuse way of life, thinking that everyone is thrifty and poor in this world. There is no quarrel, wear a single coat in winter to forge his bones, eat rice grains and drink cold water in summer, and improve himself in asceticism. Although this guy has a high reputation among monks, this teaching is born to be the mortal enemy of Beyana, who seeks wealth to improve her life. Of course, this explanation about what he did personally came from the bastards on the side of the Holy Light, and I don't think other bastards can get rid of it, maybe it's another unlucky bastard who is most suitable for taking the blame."
Solo, the god of music and dance, was very open, chatting with me through the bard as a messenger.
Since that incident, he has kept in touch with me... Of course I don't want to deal with gay gods, but I do need to get information from the upper world, and I can't go to Ayer directly for everything.
And the other candidate gods are even more unreliable. I don’t know many gods now. After all, Mary is a dwarf god and is in a state of confusion (drunk) most of the time. Beyana... I’m not stupid enough to deliver to your door. , it seems that recently she automatically falls into a manic state whenever she hears my name.
"Ayer did it?"
"Break into the kingdom of God directly, severely injured Cui Matt, and killed two of the Cong God who stopped him, and even took away the soul and the priesthood."
"The other main gods didn't respond? The source of order didn't respond? The civil war started as soon as the holy war started? Ayer has crossed the line this time."
"No, if you want to cross the line, the Holy Light will cross the line first. The other main gods are also very unhappy with this kind of behavior, but since the other party is dead and Cui Matt is seriously injured, even if this is the end of the matter, neither party will Keep promoting."
In a sense, this is a compromise, a mediation under the attention of other main gods and the source of order. On the bright side, it seems that Ayer’s side has suffered a little loss. After all, Ayer’s side has suffered a rare loss. With a good start and prestige, although Shengguang is dead, they are two gods who are so weak that not many people know about them, and can be ignored in the eyes of the boss.
But only I know, in fact, this time we made a lot of money!
"Punishment and precepts? Ayer really got the job done this time."
These two priesthoods are nothing. In the current world, discipline is only the pursuit of a few ascetic monks and devout believers, and punishment is a low-level concept that can’t be seen. Both seem to be priesthoods with little potential to be tapped.
While these two concepts are not valued seriously, because the religious concept of "atonement for original sin through asceticism, so that pure souls can be brought into the kingdom of God by gods" is recognized by the Church of the Gods, the priesthood of asceticism is very important in this powerful theocratic world. Amazing, the god of asceticism is even more powerful than the goddess of wealth.
And because the ascetic and warrior monks can gain powerful combat power through asceticism, and the church composed of elite and skilled warriors has made this "God of Self-Murderers" an incarnation of powerful divine power, and the result is "punishment" ” and “discipline” have become the extension of the concept of asceticism, and are even more unpopular.
And it was precisely because he felt that there was no potential to tap, that's why Cui Matt gave the two priesthoods to his subordinate god.
"Did Ayer directly take away the priesthood?"
But only a few people such as me and Iyer know that "punishment" and "discipline" are the priesthoods that we cannot obtain in the plan of "rebuilding the underworld". In the list, there are these two from God.
If "penalty" and "discipline" are derived concepts of religious asceticism, they are only second-rate among second-rate, but if they are derived concepts of "law", for example, "penalty" is the punishment for violating the law, and "precept" is the The subordinates of the concept of the law itself can even deduce the concepts of "judicial self-discipline" and "moral self-discipline", which are the nutrients necessary for the further step of the throne of the law, and the obedience necessary for the creation of the underworld.
Of course, the aftermath of this matter is not over yet, or the gods at the top have reached an agreement, but as mortals, we have to find a place in the Holy Church, which is also a mortal. This depends on the opportunity.
As for the two priesthoods that were destined to "suddenly disappear", even though there should be a lot of people who knew about it, facing Solo's doubts, I just nodded and didn't say much. Some things are too important, even if Solo It's the god on our side, and I don't want anyone else to know.
"It seems that I have to hurry up... Of course, let's deal with the important things in front of me first, Ainslow the Great Stone Shaper, what else do you have to say?"
A little uneasy in front of me, isn't that the ugly mother of all stones
When the war came to a stalemate, I summoned an ambush without hesitation, and since the Great Stone Shaper Ainsloh has settled in the Forest of Dreams, in a sense, it is equivalent to joining me, and of course I will not forget it. Pull her top combat power to the battlefield.
But the result is that the "seven great saints", the sworn brothers composed of the combat power of the seven earth element planes above the holy rank, only came to the youngest Beifeng Aero, but in the end they achieved miraculous results... Among the great saints, are the smallest and the most difficult to deal with
Cough, let’s get down to business, if you lose, there’s nothing to say, but now that you win, it’s naturally an old account of not obeying orders to retreat, otherwise everyone will be like this, then people will be scattered, and the team will really be difficult to lead. .
"My lord, I'm really wronged! You know, we are all earth element lords, but Taitan is the son of the earth. In front of them, we can't move at all!"
Two lines of tears fell from my cheeks and turned into diamonds. It seems that there is a lot of carbon in her body... I suddenly remembered the fairy tale of the mermaid dripping tears into beads. The pearl is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, and the mermaid can drip Tears turned into beads, was it because there was too much gypsum in her lacrimal glands, or was she simply a strange creature that fed on stones.
It seems that only crocodiles eat stones in nature. Although they are to help digestion, crocodiles are also water and land. Could it be that the true identity of a mermaid is a crocodile that has become a fine
Ahem, it seems that I accidentally ruined my childhood again. Let’s get down to business. I’ll talk about the academic research on the aged fossil mermaid… Stone mother next time.
I took all the diamonds she dropped, and I'll see if I can sell it for some money... It's not that I'm too stingy, but that I've been looted too cleanly recently. When I find the bastard who stole my money, I must... What? Off topic again? Well, let's talk about the recent livelihood issue next time, and keep trying to get down to business.
This guy's tears can't stop flowing, but I directly regarded it as the tears of a crocodile. I'm not a fool. Although the Titan is known as the son of the earth, the winged man is also known as the son of the sky. The elves are still the children of nature and the forest. It's putting gold on the face, it doesn't matter.
Titans are not elemental creatures. They just admit that the earth gave birth to them, and they were created by nature, rather than a god who created them. If they really have anything to do with the earth element, it will not be Urm Diloken. God of earth elements.
"Can't move in front of Titan? Hmph, I think you know that your opponent is a Titan, so you don't dare to go to the battlefield at all."
Ainslow didn't answer, and the tears stopped. It seemed that she herself felt that the play was very boring.
This ugly element lord with a seemingly short stature, but the peers of Ermu Di Loken, are much older than most of the true gods, maybe she has seen the Titan in full form, then, she is frightened. The fear of war is completely understandable. Even if she can compete with the Titan incarnation, she is worried that the complete form of the Titan will come to the door, and with her blocking, how can other "Great Sages" enter the battlefield.
Thinking of this, I looked at this short and fat ancient stone mother with a playful look. Her strength may not be anything in the top combat power, but her ancient and ancient information may be more than her own. important.
Of course, it's hard to ask these things directly, but in a sense, the stone mother who has lost my trust is also losing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Until something is figured out, that thing still can't be talked to her."
And what I originally planned to talk to her about was to restore the throne of the earth element and make an earth element lord become the god of earth element again, but such a cunning guy took that position, and it was not for us. It is good to be.
As long as the Earth Elemental God is regenerated, it will naturally be able to greatly slow down the recovery of the Titans. The Earth Elemental God must be born with a sufficiently powerful Earth Elemental Powerhouse and Earth Elemental Throne. The Stone Shaper Ainsloh is the Earth Elemental Lord closest to the Earth Elemental God, and the fragments of the Earth Elemental Throne were taken away by two people, one is me, the other is...
"Beifeng, what do you say? You brothers and sisters are so unkind, I didn't treat them badly, so it's too much to run away when you need to use it."
At that time, the Sandworm King, who was tamed by the sad wind, destroyed the throne of the earth element, and some of the fragments must have fallen into his hands.
And this question is not easy to answer. The benefits of the forest of dreams to the earth element lords are obvious. What I said is not nonsense. I am asking Beifeng now, but my eyes are fixed on Ainsloh. Force her to give me an answer.
Beifeng also knew what he knew. He just teased with the white lion and didn't talk to him, but Ainslow himself remained silent.
But she also knew that she couldn't fool her if it went on like this. In the end, she still had to make a decision.
