Three of the seven high priests have already made it clear that they are opposed to giving up money while studying.
After the three of them, High Priest Martina, who always favors reform, also voted against this time.
The main reason is that this approach is too heretical.
As a new sect, Shuangxiujiao may have no problem doing this. After all, Li Yu himself is also a foreigner, and he always likes to subvert traditions, and he often creates shocking things.
However, the Silver Moon Church represents a conservative force, with thousands of years of heritage, millions of believers, and many backbones like Priest Quintus. They are obviously quite resistant to new methods of preaching like giving eggs.
It is believed that this will tarnish the belief in Pisiya and deprive the missionary of its sense of ritual.
The fact that the seven high priests are the top managers of the Silver Moon Church does not mean that they can control everything. They still have to take the opinions of the majority of people into consideration.
In addition, High Priest Martina herself felt that it would be too cheap for the church to do this.
But if they don't follow, there seems to be no way to stop the villagers from listening to the sermons of the monks from the Shuangxiu Church.
In short, the current situation of the church is very embarrassing.
In the end, everyone could only turn their attention to Herodotus, who just said nothing and just listened with a smile.
High Priest Reeves coughed slightly and said, "High Priest Herodotus, the priests of the church are currently frustrated in their missionary work in the green fields. Have you gained anything from the guard team during this period?"
When she heard the words Guards, High Priest Martina also frowned.
She had always disliked those cold-hearted and bloodthirsty unbelievers. She felt that every pore of them was extremely filthy from head to toe.
However, raising the Guards has also been a tradition of the Silver Moon Church for thousands of years, but it is a dark part.
High Priest Martina also admitted that these guys did play a lot of roles in the early centuries of the Silver Moon Church, especially after the church proactively promised not to form an army.
The existence of this secret force has helped the church survive several fatal crises, protected many important figures, eliminated many difficult enemies, and avoided greater conflicts and bloodshed.
However, as the Silver Moon Church developed and grew, especially after it became the largest sect in the West, High Priest Martina felt that the Guardian Team had completed their historical mission and there was no need to continue to exist.
It shouldn't be like today where he only does dirty work and is a tool for wiping the butts of many big shots.
Unfortunately, not many people agree with her idea.
High Priest Martina could only accept the existence of the Guards, but tried not to have anything to do with this group, and did not want to hear anything related to this group.
Therefore, after High Priest Reeves spoke, High Priest Martina left the table on her own initiative. High Priest Gonaya, who had similar thoughts to her, also found an excuse to chase after her.
After both of them left the apse, High Priest Herodotus reported the previous results of the Guards in a leisurely manner.
When he heard that the Guards had successfully provoked a village's hatred against the Shuangxiu Cult through the deaths of two girls, High Priest Reeves couldn't help but applaud.
But soon he also realized that his behavior was a bit not good, so he quickly added, "I'm not saying that the two poor girls died well, but... their death awakened the people in that village.
, this is a good thing, they will also be rewarded by the goddess after death."
High Priest Hesiod couldn't listen anymore and interrupted him directly, "What happens next?"
"Then the Guards team planned to attack Shuangxiujiao's team that came to investigate, further provoking conflicts between Shuangxiujiao and local villagers, but unexpectedly discovered that Merlin was also in the team."
Even though they already know that Li Yu is still safe and sound, many people are still refreshed after hearing the news, because everyone's current troubles are all due to this person. If this culprit can be eradicated in one fell swoop.
None of the remaining ones who were out of training can fight, they are just like toothless tigers, so there is no need for them to worry anymore.
"Why, were there too many people around him at that time?"
"It's not too many, just about a dozen people in a small team." Herodotus said, "There are more people in the Guards team than them.
Everyone present knew how powerful the Guards Corps was in combat. In one-on-one battles, no one in the entire Western Region could be their opponent. Moreover, they had the advantage in numbers in this battle.
"Then why didn't they kill Merlin?" High Priest Kirkeon said with some dissatisfaction, "High Priest Herodotus, don't you always say that they are invincible?"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
Herodotus was not angry, and just said, "Shuangxiujiao now has its own army. Although the number is not large, only a hundred people, and the training is not enough, their weapons and equipment are very good, better than the Guards.
Be good.
"All dwarf armor and weapons, as well as a shield made of the scales of the black dragon. However, the strength of the Guards is still stronger, so that Merlin had to lead the pursuers of the Guards away alone.
Fight for others to survive.”
Hearing this, the other four high priests were stunned again. They obviously did not expect that the protected person could do such a cool thing as diverting the guards away from the pursuers.
High Priest Hesiod sighed, "This prophet of Merlin is quite good to his people. No wonder so many people follow him wholeheartedly."
"Then it is even more important to eradicate this threat as soon as possible." High Priest Reeves added, and then asked, "How did he escape?"
"He can run on water." Herodotus said. "Those members of the Guards who witnessed this scene told me that he can move as quickly on water as on land."
Before everyone could finish digesting this shocking news, Herodotus continued, "But the Guards still caught up with him in the end, but then he disappeared."
Herodotus concealed the part where the Central Guards tried to capture Li Yu.
"Disappear? What do you mean by disappearing?" High Priest Kokoon was puzzled.
"It literally means that he just disappeared."
"How is this possible?" The priests were shocked again when they heard this.
"Did the medical team say that to shirk responsibility?" someone asked.
"I don't think they dare to deceive me." Herodotus said, "And even if they want to deceive them, there is no need to make up such outrageous reasons."
"Then...could that guy be the incarnation of a god? Otherwise, why would a mortal have such great power?"
High Priest Reeves was thinking about something else at the moment, and his face became increasingly ugly, "As soon as there is danger, he can disappear immediately. This...doesn't this mean that he cannot be killed at all?"
?”
"This kind of disappearance should not be random." Herodotus said, "So we can still find a way to deal with him. In fact, there will be an opportunity in five days. At that time, the female head of the Arias family will officially join
It was Merlin himself who must have held a ceremony for her since she had two holidays.
"The Guardsmen have now sneaked into the green field again."
