What Lide didn't know was that the two visitors of the Church of the Abyss hid in the darkness again after leaving the Santo's Mansion.
When walking on the deserted alley, Shiyuan smiled and said to the man who called himself Sean:
"Just now, you talked too much."
Sean whispered:
"But he dared to disrespect you..."
Although in front of Lide, Shi Yuan claimed to be the bishop of the Laity Council and introduced Sean as the bishop of the Justice and Peace Council, and the two had equal positions. But judging from the attitude of the two of them talking, Shiyuan's status is obviously higher. Seeing the man beside him clenched his fists with an unhappy face, Shiyuan smiled lightly and said:
"It doesn't matter. There are many places where he will be used in the future, let him live first. We have been dormant in the dark for such a long time, there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble. You see, Yunyang is a typical Negative example, every time I get frustrated, I want to get back the place, but the result is getting deeper and deeper, and I put myself in it."
Sean whispered:
"The church is not Yunyang."
Shi Yuan said flatly:
"So we have to be more careful, don't become the next Yunyang. We have already lost the Lingwu move. A bishop was folded in, and Lord Klenas was also killed. This is something that has not happened in the church for hundreds of years. Now I have to personally preside over the situation. My idea is very simple. The best way to deal with people like Li De is to recruit, the second is to cooperate, and the second is to ignore. The worst thing to do is assassination, you If you are sure, you can try. Of course, if you fail, I can only kill 7,000 members of the Justice and Peace Council to appease him and bring the situation back to the current situation. .”
Sean gritted his teeth, was silent for a moment, and said:
"Listen to the saint."
Shiyuan nodded, she was no longer as tender as she was when negotiating with Lide just now, but she also did not have the indifference of being thousands of miles away. Seeing that Sean was still unconvinced, Shi Yuan folded her arms, tapped her arms lightly with her fingers, and suddenly changed the subject:
"By the way, I had a dream last night."
Sean shuddered and stood still.
Shi Yuan raised her head, and said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally:
"I dreamed that the city lord fell to the ground with injuries all over his body, and all the meridians in his body were broken in sevens and eighties. But at this moment, the space above his body was suddenly torn apart, from the endless void A huge eye opened in the center. Then, a purple viscous liquid flowed out, wrapping him in it. It didn’t take long for his wounds to heal completely, and the liquid flowed back into the void again.”
Shi Yuan turned her head, glanced at Sean, said with a smile:
"You know, my dream has always been very accurate. So I thought, maybe he can find the key needed by the twelve pillar gods. The void race has always been mysterious, but its strength is undeniable. No doubt, if we can get their help, the old gods will no longer be our opponents."
Sean let out a long breath and let go of his fist.
He doesn't believe what others say, but if it comes from Shiyuan's mouth, Sean has no idea of refuting it. That year, it was she who dreamed that the son of Tianyan came into the world, and the church of the abyss was able to make that complicated situation. It's a pity that Shiyuan's prophetic dream didn't happen whenever she wanted, but appeared randomly. Otherwise, the church wouldn't have lost so badly in the northward journey not long ago, and had already tried its best to eliminate the uncertain factor of Lide. killed.
Now she said that Lide might have something to do with the void, and Sean had to let go even if he had great grievances. When Kungu's interests are involved, one can no longer care about personal likes and dislikes. This is the iron rule of the Church of the Abyss.
After calming Sean's dissatisfaction, Shi Yuan reconsidered the matter of preaching in Yuxi City. She knew very well that the reason why Lide allowed them to preach here was not just to introduce a brand new sect and culture, but to let them have a direct conflict with the temple dedicated to the old god.
Many people believe in the old gods because they have no other way to go, they can only put their faith on it. As generations of people kowtow and burn incense in the temple, this has become a deep-rooted habit, and it is very difficult to change this.
Lide hopes to push the church of the abyss to the front to compete with the traditional temple and show the people more possibilities. At that time, some people who have access to more information will learn to look at the problem dialectically, and realize that neither the church of the abyss nor the traditional temple is reliable. These people will not believe in any of the upper three races, but will only believe in their own wisdom and strength. They will lead mankind to explore new possibilities.
Sean can't think of these things, but Shiyuan can.
But even if she saw this, she still couldn't give up on preaching in Yuxi City.
The Church of the Abyss has always been hiding in the dark. Although it has accumulated a lot of power, once these powers appear on the surface, it will inevitably attract the destruction of the traditional temple like a storm. Or when encountering a territory like Lingwu that also has a strong control in Anbu, the actions of the Church of the Abyss will be greatly restricted.
Over the long years, they carefully hid themselves in the dark, and managed their power bit by bit. Now that their power in the dark has reached a peak, if they want to seek a breakthrough, they must come out of the dark and start to promote their beliefs to the public.
Lide gave them a good opportunity, strictly speaking, this should be regarded as mutual use.
Shi Yuan exhaled lightly, and said to Sean:
"Go and write a missionary application. Yuxi City will soon not be these small towns, but a brand new territory."
The figures of the two disappeared at the end of the alley in the blink of an eye, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the world. The members of the Anbu organization sent by Shuang to follow up couldn't find anyone anyway, so they had to go back and report.
Shuang naturally didn't know that Lide had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the Church of the Abyss. Even if she knew, she must be careful to guard against this behemoth active in the dark. After thinking about it, Shuang decided to train a group of dead soldiers to protect Lide's safety. Shuang was present when Li De singled out King Qin Guang, Chu Jiang, and King Pingping by himself, and she had some understanding of Li De's strength. But Lied is also a human being, he needs to relax and rest, and it is impossible to be vigilant all the time.
Frost's purpose in training the dead soldiers was not to expect them to protect Lide's safety, but to hope that once danger really happened, they would use their lives to buy Lide some reaction time.
As for who can be Lied's dead soldier...
Ordinary people probably don't want to be watched by a group of muscular brothers 24 hours a day, in all directions and without dead ends, do they
The pen in Shuang's hand twirled around between his fingers, and finally issued an order to the Anbu organization:
—Carefully select young girls aged 15-25, with good looks preferred. The City Lord is involved, so proceed with caution. There are two preliminary requirements. First, the identity background must be clean. Second, the physical fitness must be excellent and can withstand long-term training...
On that day, the members of the Anbu organization who received the order showed an expression of "I understand" without exception.
