When I learned about some people's shameless behavior, not only was I not angry at all, but on the contrary, I was quite happy.
Sometimes, the leader is equal to the winner. For the leader, such as a monopolist with a market share of more than 80%, as long as they do not take risks or make big mistakes, it will be difficult for 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 are no internal disagreements and united efforts, I am afraid that even if we rest on our laurels, we will be able to rest on our laurels for hundreds of years.
But this time, it finally made a mistake, and it was a big mistake.
I can understand that the choice it made in this way may not be a wrong choice under the current situation. On the contrary, because the Holy Church has a very strong foundation, it is actually a very good decision.
We all know the principle that public opinion makes gold and accumulation destroys bones. The Holy Church has the advantage of public opinion. Of course, it can play whatever it wants. From this point, it can be seen that they have been smooth sailing for too long and feel that their status is
He won't be challenged at all, and even looks down on Aiye.
What their senior officials hope is to use this war report to stabilize the situation for a period of time. After this period of time, once the jihad enters a stalemate period, I am afraid that not to mention that the countries will still remember this matter, and may not be able to do so due to the unfavorable outcome of the war.
Ask for it.
And even if it does come to the future, this matter will be brought out to stir up trouble. The original battle achievement announcement was ambiguous, and it mainly said "victory under the guidance of the Holy Light". When most humans in this world believe in the Holy Light,
At that time, this statement cannot really be said to be wrong. It can be completely denied with a clerical error.
And if we take a step back, if the Holy Church falls into a weak position, this will be used as a handle to pursue it to the end. At that time, Cardinal Stephen will be worried that the war will adversely affect his future, lie about the military situation, and deceive the church’s upper echelons.
", he was deprived of his teaching position and committed suicide in Mount xx" is enough. Anyway, the person is dead and the blame has been taken.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened quite a lot. As long as someone takes the blame in the end and the tree doesn't fall, it will end in nothing.
What the Holy Church needs now is to eliminate as much as possible the negative effects of the first battle and boost 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 that perhaps even the Pope himself has not noticed, and this is the biggest mistake.
He underestimated those contracted heroes and even completely ignored their existence!
In this incident, the biggest victims were not me, the wood spirits of Oak Town, or even Ayer. We don’t need to prove our abilities to the world. There are also opportunities to come forward, and we can ignore the glory of this battle.
But for the contracted warriors who risked their lives and desperately wanted to earn their own fame and glory, this epic battle has changed their lives. The shining military medals are still on their chests, but they have already obtained the duck.
But he was robbed. If he brags to others in the future, he might 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 for the rest of their lives. At least, the priests have been hostile to other adventurers these days.
, even a few young priests once again chose the gods they should serve.
The pope 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 just humble rookies now, but 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 to gain
When the power of the enemy emerges in various places, these hidden bombs and lingering bad feelings will really come into play.
In fact, in the near future, the third item in the work manual given to the young rookies by those who have already made their mark is that "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, otherwise, he will take away the honor that should belong to you, and then burn you alive as a heretic. Don't you believe it? Think of Oak Town."
And once the bad feeling is established from the very beginning, it may be difficult to undo it no matter how much you do.
Of course, for the Church of the Holy Church, their own "Holy Beloved System" is enough. How could they have thought about what kind of impact the competing "Contract Brave System" would have on the world? Those seedlings
Will they become real heroes?
Of course, even if we know it and are satisfied with the outcome, doing nothing is not enough.
Even if our Ayer side is indeed not as powerful as our opponent's Holy Light side, since we have been beaten, if we don't retaliate, wouldn't it appear that we are too weak, and in this world, weakness itself is a kind of original sin, and he will make us
The surrounding pack of wolves put down their guard and really started to pounce.
"What is Iyer planning to do? Or has he done?"
At this time, it is natural for the boss to make a decision. In my mind, Aiye is not a person who is used to swallowing his anger.
"... In the past few days, two meteors have fallen. Although the Holy Church has not issued an announcement, the small church of the God of Commandment and the God of Punishment has not received a response from the true God, and the priests have also lost their divine power. Although this
Both gods have no sense of existence, they are just quasi-gods among mortals, but they are both followers of Trimat, the god of asceticism. You should understand this silent fall."
In ancient mythology, falling stars are also a manifestation of falling gods, but in fact, meteors are not necessarily falling of gods, but falling stars will definitely cause meteors... Well, in fact, it is the Kingdom of God, and the God's throne is burning and falling into the sky.
When witnessing that scene, all living beings will instinctively know that God is dead, just like once someone ascends to God, the whole world will know it.
I have never heard of these two gods. After searching for information, I found out that they were both demigods who successfully became divine envoys in the Holy Church in the past, and then shared their responsibilities with the true God and their divine power. Their churches are all in
Inside the Holy Church. Ring.
The God of Law will provide heretical judges with some magical skills to track down heretics. The God of Punishment is the master of extorting confessions through punishment. Both gods are super weak gods and are completely the lackeys of Tremat, and Tremat
He is the bastard of the God of Holy Light.
"...I heard that it seems, well, at least in terms of appearance, that this matter was caused by a powerful ascetic god. His teachings advocate an almost masochistic lifestyle and believe that everyone is thrifty and poor in the world.
There will be no more disputes. Wearing single clothes in winter to strengthen the body, eating rice grains and drinking cold water in summer, and improving oneself through asceticism. Although
This guy has a high reputation among the monks, and this teaching is naturally the sworn enemy of Beyana, who pursues wealth and improves her life. Of course, the explanation that this was his personal doing came from the bastards on the Holy Light side.
I don’t think the other bastards can get away with it, so I’m probably pushing an unlucky guy who is best suited to take the blame.”
Thoreau, the god of music and dance, was very open-minded and chatted with me through the bard as a communication channel.
Since that incident, he has kept in touch with me... Of course I don't want to deal with gay gods. But it is indeed necessary to get information from the upper world, and I can't go directly to Ayer for everything.
And the other candidate gods are even less reliable. I don’t know many gods now. After all, Mary is a dwarf god and is in a state of chaos (drunk) most of the time. Beyanna... I am not stupid enough to deliver goods.
Come to the door, it seems that as soon as she hears my name recently, she automatically goes into a manic state.
"Did Ayer kill him?"
"He broke into the kingdom of God directly, seriously injured Trimat, killed two gods who blocked him, and even took away his soul and priesthood."
"The other main gods didn't respond? The source of order didn't respond either? The holy war just started and there was a civil war? Is Ayer crossing the line this time?"
"No, if you want to cross the line, the Holy Light side must cross the line first. The other main gods are also very unhappy with this behavior, but since the other party is dead and Trimat is seriously injured, even if this matter ends here, neither side will
Keep spreading the word.”
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 Aiye has suffered a little loss. After all, Aiye has suffered a rare loss.
With a good start and reputation, although the Holy Light side is dead, they are two subordinate gods that are so weak that not many people know about them, and can be completely ignored in the eyes of the big guys.
But only I know that we actually made a lot of money this time!
"Punishment and discipline? Aiye really put down the work this time."
These two priesthoods are nothing. In the current world, discipline is only the pursuit of a few ascetics and devout believers, and punishment is a low-level concept that has no appearance. The two seem to be priesthoods with little potential to be tapped.
While these two concepts are not taken seriously, at the same time, because the religious concept of "atonement for original sin through asceticism so that pure souls can be introduced into the Kingdom of God by the gods" is recognized by the Church of the Gods, the priesthood of asceticism is very important in this world with powerful theocracy.
Remarkably, the God of Penance is even more powerful than the Goddess of Wealth.
And because ascetics and monks can obtain powerful combat power through asceticism, the church composed of elite and skilled warriors has made this "god of masochists" the embodiment of powerful divine power, and the result is "punishment"
"" and "Discipline" have become extensions of the concept of asceticism, and are even more unpopular.
And it was precisely because he felt that there was no potential to be tapped that Cuimat handed over the two priesthoods to his subordinates.
"Did Ayer directly take away the priesthood?"
But only a few people such as Ayer and I know that "punishment" and "commandment" are inaccessible priesthoods in our plan to "rebuild Hades". In that thick plan, those listed must be eliminated in advance.
Among the list, there are these two disciples,
If "punishment" and "precepts" are used as derivative concepts of religious asceticism, they are only second-rate. However, if they are used as derivative concepts of "law", for example, "punishment" is the punishment for violating the law, and "precepts" are
The concept of "judicial self-discipline" and "moral self-discipline" can even be derived as a subordinate concept of the law itself. This is the necessary nutrition for the throne of law to move forward, and it is also the necessary obedience to create Hades and Hell.
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 regain our place with the Holy Church, who are also mortals. This depends on the opportunity.
As for the two priests who were destined to "suddenly disappear", even though there should be many people who knew about it, in the face of Solo's doubts, I just nodded and said nothing more. Some things are too important. Even Solo
It's the god on our side, and I don't want anyone else to know about it.
"It seems that I have to hurry up... Of course, let's deal with the important matters at hand first, Great Stone Shaper Ainsluo, what else do you have to say?"
The one who looks a little uneasy in front of me is the extremely ugly Mother of Stones, isn't it?
When the war reached a stalemate, I summoned the ambush without hesitation. Since the Great Stone Shaper Ainslow has settled in the Forest of Dreams, in a sense, he has taken refuge in me, and of course he will not forget it.
Drag her, a top-level combatant, onto the battlefield.
But the result was the sworn brothers "Seven Saints" who came from the earth elemental plane and were above the holy level. However, they achieved miraculous results... Could it be that among the seven saints, they are all the smallest?
Are they all the most difficult to deal with?
Well, back to the topic, if we lose, there will be nothing to say, but if we win now, we will naturally have to settle the old account of not listening to orders and retreating in the face of battle. Otherwise, if everyone does this, then people will be scattered. It will be really difficult to lead the team.
Already.
"Sir, I am really unjust! You know, we are all earth element lords, but the Titans are the sons of the earth. In front of them, we can't move at all!"
Two lines of tears fell from the cheeks and turned into diamonds. It seems that there is a lot of carbon in this girl's body... I suddenly remembered the fairy tale about the mermaid's tears turning into beads. The main component of pearls is calcium carbonate. The mermaid can
Could it be that her teardrops turned into beads because her tear glands contained too much gypsum, or that she was 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 of both land and water systems. Could it be that the true identity of the mermaid is a crocodile that became a spirit?
Ahem, it seems that I accidentally ruined my childhood again. Let’s get back to the subject. I’ll talk about the academic research on the aged fossil mermaid... stone mother next time.
I've accepted all the diamonds she dropped, and I'll see if I can sell them for some money later... It's not that I'm too stingy, it's just that I've been plundered too cleanly recently. When I find that bastard who stole my money, I'll definitely...what?
?Off topic again? Okay, let’s talk about the recent livelihood issues next time, keep working hard and get back to the topic.
This guy's tears couldn't stop flowing, but I just took them as crocodile tears. I'm not a fool. Although Titan is called the son of the earth, the Winged Man is also called the son of the sky. The elves are still the sons of nature and the forest. In fact, they are not.
It's just to put money on your face, it doesn't matter.
Titans are not elemental creatures. They just admit that the earth gave birth to them and they are natural creations, rather than being created by some god. If they really have anything to do with the earth elements, it will not be Umdiroken's turn.
The god of the earth element.
"Can't move in front of a Titan? Humph, I think you know your opponent is a Titan, so you don't dare to go to the battlefield at all."
Ainslow didn't answer and her tears stopped. It seemed that she herself felt that the performance was very boring.
This looks like an ugly elemental lord with a short stature, but Umdiroken's peers are much older than most of the true gods. Maybe she has seen the complete form of the Titan, so she is scared to death.
It is completely understandable that she is afraid of war. Even if she can compete with the titan incarnation, she is still worried that the full form of the titan will come to her. And with her blocking, how can other "great saints" go to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, I looked at this short, fat ancient stone mother playfully. Her strength may not be much among the top combat powers, but her ancient and ancient information may not be more powerful than herself.
important.
Of course, it is difficult to get these things by asking directly, but in a sense, Shi Mu, who has lost my trust, is also losing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Until we figure something out, we still can't talk to her about that matter."
But what I originally planned to talk to her was about repairing the throne of the earth element and making an earth element lord the god of the earth element again. But when such a cunning and egotistical guy ascended to that position, it didn't matter to us.
Being is a good thing.
As long as the God of the Earth Element is regenerated, it will naturally slow down the recovery of the Titans significantly. The emergence of the God of the Earth Element must be a strong enough Earth Element strongman and an Earth Element Throne. As far as I know, the big thing in front of us is
Stone Shaper Ainsluo is the earth element lord closest to the throne of the earth element god, but the fragments of the earth element throne were taken away by two people, one is me, the other is...
"Beifeng, what do you say? Your brothers and sisters are so unkind, and I have not treated them badly. It's a bit too much to run away like this when you need to be useful."
At that time, the Sand Worm King tamed by Sad Wind destroyed the Earth Elemental Throne, and some of the fragments must have fallen into his hands. They were originally his trophies, but I am afraid they will have to be exchanged with him later.
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 about Beifeng now, but my eyes are fixed on Ainsluo.
Force her to give me an answer.
Beifeng also knew this, and just teased the white lion without talking to him. However, Ainsluo himself remained silent.
But she also knows that she can't get over it if she continues like this, and in the end, she still has to make a decision. (To be continued...)
