Van Helsing's expression was in a trance when he got off the spaceship carrying the n-metal magic cannon.
Harley didn't force him too much, and only made an agreement with him that if he died in battle in the future, or if the monks and warriors of the Van Helsing Demon Hunting Group died and went to the lower heaven, but was not qualified to enter the Silver City, he would become a "grassroots" under her command.
god'.
Old Father Carlisle returned to Gotham with her.
He will help Harley take charge of Gotham Cathedral.
From the beginning, Gotham Cathedral was not entirely the property of the Holy See.
The land belongs to the city hall, and the building on the ground was built with funds raised by wealthy people in Gotham. The books, furnishings, cultural relics, etc. inside all come from the Holy See.
Its ownership is somewhat complicated.
However, the right to use it is limited to church organizations.
Before, Galavan was able to buy it in the name of the Order of St. Dumas.
The Order of St. Dumas, like the Holy Advent Crusaders, is an armed group that splintered from the Crusaders.
It has great independence in organization, doctrine and property, but it is a 100% formal church organization with hundreds of years of history.
After the Galvan incident and the suppression of the Order of St. Dumas, many church organizations from around the world have set their sights on Gotham Cathedral.
Applications were also submitted to the City Hall and the Holy See at the same time.
Although Gotham Cathedral has experienced a "zombie crisis" and hundreds of people died tragically, the location of the church is really good. It is located in midtown Manhattan and covers an area of thousands of square meters. Before Archbishop Marvin committed the crime, he relied on donations from believers, sales of church items, and tourism every year.
Sightseeing, etc., can earn tens of millions of dollars.
At that time, Gotham Cathedral still had the status of "the headquarters of the Diocese of New York State and even the West Coast of North America."
In fact, the Holy See has also thought about rearranging the archbishop's position in the cathedral.
However, the former Archbishop Marvin's reputation was too bad and his crimes were so heinous that both the citizens of Gotham and the Council were unwilling to accept an Archbishop from Rome.
Harley wants to take down Gotham Cathedral, and the level at City Hall is very easy, because she is a boss!
The attitude of the Holy See is key.
Harry didn't come forward and left it to the old Father Carlisle to handle it.
The old priest is not a wild monk. He comes from a monastic order that believes in Michael. It is small and has little authority, but it has a history of thousands of years and is also a regular monastic group recognized by the church.
Carlisle, Van Helsing, and even Harley herself are not as powerful as the Pope in Rome in the secular church organization, but in the Magic World Pan-Christian Alliance, among the believers of God who have been exposed to extraordinary power, the three of them are first-rate.
The boss.
The Holy See didn't create any difficulties at all, and immediately accepted Harry's application and helped her register a new religious order, Paradise Mountain.
In the d multiverse, Christians do not call heaven "Mountain of Heaven" because the real heaven is the "City of Silver".
Harley's position in heaven is "Border Outpost Third Class", her official title is "Grand Duke of Heaven Mountain", and she calls herself "True Lord Quin" and "God Lord Quin".
Tiantian Mountain is the name of her fiefdom in heaven, a giant suspended mountain with a radius of a hundred miles and a height of 10,000 meters, surrounded by ten suspended mountains of different sizes.
During the battle with Little Heidou, the rewards given to her by God include the title of Duke, customized Duke's divine armor, ten floating mountains, a Holy Land on Earth, a Supreme Heaven Card, and 500,000 in Heavenly Merits.
500,000 merits are nothing, it is barely enough for Harley to summon divine healing when she is in danger, or to use teleportation spells (PS) several times when running away.
Those ten floating mountains are entirely Harley's territory, and she can name them freely.
It's okay to call it 'garbage mountain'.
But if she wants to show off her prestige in the world, she not only needs to have a more prestigious name, but she also needs to be able to touch the Porcelain Silver City.
For example, Pheasant University adds "region name + University of Science and Technology" in front of its name.
For example, "xx Yamaha" has nothing to do with the real Yamaha.
For example, there are many “suspected brand-name” products on Pinxixi.
When the name "Heaven Mountain" was announced, whoever it was, the impression of "another name for heaven" immediately came to mind.
To be honest, on earth, if ordinary Christians are asked to choose between ‘Heaven Mountain’ and ‘Silver City’, 99% of them will think that Heaven Mountain is the real ‘residence of God’
There are three reasons why Harley purchased Gotham Cathedral: First, she has never given up her career as an 'exorcist nun'.
In the mortal world, she is a Gotham boss.
In the magic world, she cannot be a 'jobless casual cultivator', she must have a serious career, a serious identity, and a serious sect.
The little black bean incident does not happen often, only once in tens of billions of years.
The most stable and effective way to earn merit in heaven is still exorcism.
The little merit earned from exorcism will definitely not make you rich, but it is enough as a "basic salary".
Moreover, if you encounter a demon during exorcism, you can also take out a few demon hearts to replenish yourself with blood and bloodline power.
The second reason is that Harley needs to cultivate a mysterious side brother.
Even God has a group of angel brothers.
Why does Harley think she can conquer the world alone?
Even if she can do some things, wouldn't it be more comfortable to be a boss and be lazy while instructing her younger brothers to run and break their legs?
For example, relying on a group of capable people, she obviously holds the two important positions of godfather and mayor, but she has more private time than ordinary white-collar workers.
The three ultimate goals in life: spiritual (personal) freedom, financial freedom, and time freedom.
If you want to have all three, you must have a younger brother!
Without the protection of a younger brother, if an ordinary thief can harass you, how can you talk about personal freedom and spiritual freedom?
How can you achieve wealth and freedom without a little brother to help you make money?
How can you avoid the hard work without the hard work of your younger brother?
But when it comes to raising a mysterious little brother, Harley can't follow the same path as the "Godfather of Gotham".
Similar to Carlisle and Van Helsing, they are both mature in outlook, smart and rational, have beliefs and pursuits, and it is impossible to follow Harley aimlessly into gangsters.
Even the "bully" wizard group on the magic side has mature core concepts, and everything they do has always served the practical concept.
Since the sign of 'Silver City Divine Lord Quin' has been put up, it is natural to recruit a few boys from the heaven camp.
Where else, than the cathedral, can be more suitable for being a "residence" for church monks?
Well, to Harley, Gotham Cathedral is similar to the "Mountain Gate" in fairy tales.
Aren’t many cultivators, Taoist monks, practicing in temples and Taoist temples?
A church is a temple that believes in God, no different from Laojun Temple or Bodhi Temple
Finally, Harley needs the 'God Temple' to earn 'incense' for herself.
Incense, not lamp oil money.
It is the power of faith.
Among the rewards God gave her was a piece of 'Holy Land on Earth'.
This holy place is not a portable space, but the power to open a holy pool.
When Harley first met Ridge online, Ridge summoned a horned dog demon into her house through quantum magic.
After she beat it to death, Richie and others asked in shock whether she had used high-grade holy water.
Later, Richie came to Gotham to help her crack the surveillance program of Owl Glasses, and went to the chapel next door to take a look.
He only said that the holy water in her holy water basin was the lowest level of holy water he had ever seen.
There are indeed levels of holy water.
Ordinary holy water is clean spring water plus sea salt, which is then used by many believers.
Slightly better holy water is soaked in powerful holy relics, or simply placed in holy relic vessels, supplemented by the power of believers' faith.
Even better, if a "holy spirit on earth" like the disciples of Jesus pours his life's hard work into a natural spring, there is a chance that a holy water spring will be born.
The holy water in the holy water spring already has extraordinary power and is considered a low-level magic item.
Even though it looks low-level, there is an endless supply of spring water in the spring!
Holy water springs are also divided into levels. The holy water springs opened by the Holy Spirit in the world are definitely not as good as the archangel, and the archangel is not as good as "Christ Jesus".
The "Holy Land on Earth" that Harley received was the opportunity to open a "Fountain of Christ" on the earth.
Gotham Cathedral, basement 10 meters below the chapel.
"God, this feels like"
Harry was holding the goblet, with a lovely blush on his face and a look of intoxication in his eyes.
"I used to think that those wine critics were all talking nonsense. They were bullying me with their clear layers and gradual changes in taste. Have I never drank wine?
Now I still don't believe their nonsense.
But there are really fine wines in the world that can achieve the effects they say.
No, it’s more bullshit than the wine critic’s bullshit.
Carlisle, do you believe it?
At this time, I felt like I had a rainbow of seven colors in my mouth.
Seven colors with clear boundaries. When I swallow it, it has a milk-like texture, soft but distinct. The taste is like a harmonious symphony, reverberating in my throat."
Hearing Harry's comment and smelling the strange sweet fragrance lingering in his nose, the old priest swallowed hard, with an obvious look of struggle on his face.
In the end, he shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Using magic to turn holy water into wine is a blasphemy against the sacred.
Harley, you shouldn't do this, let alone tempt me."
Harry bent down, scooped another cup of spring water from the pool, and recited a spell in his mouth. The transparent liquid was dyed red visibly to the naked eye.
Scarlet like blood.
The elegant but continuous aroma of wine filled the basement.
After taking a sip, she looked intoxicated again, "Have you never read the Bible?
At the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, he appeared in front of people at a village wedding banquet, showed off, and turned fresh water into wine, attracting a lot of village fools to worship him.”
"There are some things that Jesus can do, but if we, the believers, do them, they are transgressing. Moreover, Jesus is here to preach, and you are here for enjoyment." Carlisle said sternly.
"Jesus used the believers' desire for pleasure to preach, so he fell into the inferior category. At least I didn't deceive others." Harley said.
"I can't convince you, but you can't even try to change my mind." The priest said stubbornly.
"The spring water grows so slowly!"
Harry knelt down and looked at the bathtub-sized pool, frowning.
Carlisle said disapprovingly: "Even ordinary holy water has to go through multiple processes and is slowly transformed when it is baptized by believers.
This kind of holy spring pool in heaven requires a lot of high-quality faith power. Without believers to provide faith, it will not grow at all."
"Do you think Gotham's believers can allow it to provide me with enough wine?" Harley asked in anticipation.
The old priest's face darkened, "Harry, this kind of high-grade holy water is used to exorcise demons at critical moments.
Not just for Gotham.
If parishioners in other dioceses need it, we have to provide it free of charge. This is the ‘old rule’.”
Harry said: "Let the church open for business as soon as possible. I will campaign for the new 'Heaven Hill Church' in the media and try to attract more devout believers. I hope to save some holy water every year."
The old priest hesitated for a moment and said: "My helmet, star staff, and book of light are all magical artifacts of holy light. Can they be placed in the pool to nurture spirituality?"
