"The Humanity Church must have experts in divination."
Asher said.
Manson put away his pistol and couldn't help but rolled his eyes. As long as it is a large-scale organization, fortune tellers are necessary. The only difference is the level.
Obviously, there is a master fortune teller in the Humanitarian Church. He knew that the mysterious organization was in action, so he was well prepared to counter-divine.
Of course, everything is not absolute. It is also possible that the intelligence network of the Church of Humanity has developed into a mysterious defense agency or other orthodox churches.
But no matter which of the above situations it is, their raid plan tonight is destined to fail.
Soon, the two came to the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce Building, where many action personnel had already gathered.
Standing in the center is Deputy Minister Elijah Lucius of the Agency Defense Department. Next to him are the three leaders from the Court of Night, the Church of Steel and Steam, and the Church of Winter.
A complicated ceremony had been arranged in the hall. Lucius, the deputy minister, waved his hand and signaled all the idle people to exit the building.
Manson took a deep look at the complicated ceremony and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Time Recall Ceremony."
"What? What did you say?" Asher asked a little strangely.
"Nothing, let's go, let's go outside and wait for news."
"Captain, what do you think that ceremony is?" Asher asked curiously.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Manson said: "This is not something you can contact now."
"oh."
Thirty minutes later, Lucius and the four deputy ministers walked out of the Chamber of Commerce building with solemn expressions. Without any explanation, the four parties went their separate ways and went home.
"Captain, what's going on?"
Asher said a little strangely.
"Can't you see it? Our back-up plan has no results." As he said this, a trace of horror flashed in Manson's eyes. If the time-traveling ceremony really had no results, then the significance of it would be extraordinary.
They raised troops and mobilized a large number of people, but they returned in defeat.
Immediately afterwards, news came from other cities, confirming that the Humanitarian Church had received the news in advance, and all the actions to encircle and suppress the Metis Chamber of Commerce branch at the same time failed.
The Metis Chamber of Commerce completely withdrew from the Neo-Ottoman Empire, and the Humanitarian Church went into darkness in the empire. However, in the countries surrounding the empire, the Metis Chamber of Commerce spread like a virus, crazily spreading around.
The crazy spread of the Humanistic Church relies on two magic weapons: education and medical treatment, and they are basically free.
Priests of the Goddess of Benevolence are good at purification. Their basic purification power can directly kill more than 90% of the viruses in humans that are harmful to living things. The holy water diluted by the purification power is even more popular among many low-level civilians.
of favor.
Combined with the basic popular education of the church, these two magic weapons are fatal temptations for the common people.
However, this obviously touches the interests of most churches. The pie of faith in the Eastern Continent is so big. The expansion of the faith of the Humanitarian Church naturally means that the faith of other churches is severely squeezed.
Being suppressed as an evil church is an expected operation. Furthermore, some countries have already, under the orders of the Neo-Ottoman Empire, strictly inspected the followers of Humanity and arrested every one they found.
For a time, the Humanitarian Church had no choice but to shrink its defenses.
In an unknown manor on the outskirts of Saint-Dres-Fez.
Samuel finished praying quietly in the basement and walked directly to a ritual array that had been arranged. In three years, Samuel, who was originally shrewd and capable, had aged a lot and became more ordinary.
But under this ordinary appearance, Samuel seemed to be wise and graceful.
The ritual array lit up slightly, and Samuel's consciousness entered the consciousness space. Compared with three years ago, Samuel's consciousness space had already undergone earth-shaking changes. At this time, the statues of the goddess of wisdom and education appeared one after another.
The ground towers into the clouds. On the land of light, dozens of rune halos are imprinted on it, emitting waves of terrifying fluctuations.
In front of the statue of the goddess, a five-pointed star light altar composed of five rune pillars stood in front of it. Samuel's figure appeared on the altar. The familiar man knelt down on one knee, and a book of light composed of runes suddenly appeared.
in front of him.
Samuel flipped through several pages and flicked a little on the Book of Light. Suddenly, the mirror of destiny in the hand of the goddess statue in front of the altar turned slightly and shone on the altar, and the two instantly formed a line.
Channel of light.
Samuel only felt that his consciousness was stretched infinitely. Although he had experienced it many times, Samuel still felt dizzy.
The next moment, Samuel's consciousness projection appeared in front of a magnificent building.
Suigu Library.
Every time Samuel comes here, he can't help but feel a sense of wonder.
"Your Majesty the Pope, what a coincidence."
Samuel's hazy body exuding a purple glow turned around and saw a line of warm blue standing not far from him.
"Oh, it's Archbishop Christian. You came a little early."
"It's not early, it's not early. The Pope doesn't think it's earlier than me."
Although he couldn't look down on the real face, Samuel still sensed Christian's gentle attitude from the fluctuations in his consciousness.
As the leader of the House of Benevolence, in Samuel's impression, Christian always had this gentle attitude that made people irritated.
While the two were talking, another gray, one white, and one water-colored glow descended.
"Since Archbishop Stilwell, Archbishop Anthony, and Archbishop Ferdinand are here, let's begin our meeting."
Samuel said, walking into the Suigu Library first.
As the five people walked in one after another, a round table conference room with ten people appeared in the library. After Samuel sat down first, the other four people sat down one after another. The remaining five seats were still empty.
On the tall quilt chair under the five-seater,
"There are three issues today," Samuel said after looking around for a week: "The first is the retreat of the Metis Chamber of Commerce in the New Ottoman Empire, the church's power moving into the dark, and the gradual transfer of the assets of the Metis Chamber of Commerce overseas.
Ferdinand, please make a summary."
"Okay, Your Majesty the Pope, the staff of each branch have been withdrawn. Some of them are absorbed by the chambers of commerce in neighboring small countries, and some of them with pioneering spirit are secretly moving to overseas colonies. Everything is normal. But those poisonous snakes can still bite.
It’s very tight, there is a relatively large batch of supplies that have not been completely cleared, and there is a risk of being discovered.”
"Archbishop Ferdinand, you are the leader of Reason, and you have always been responsible for the cleanup work. Is it possible for this batch of supplies to be swept away?"
Ferdinand, who was called, had a glow of water-colored consciousness. At this time, he held his chin and pondered for a moment: "The problem is a bit serious. The Pope's fate prediction is still a little late. My intention for this batch of supplies is to attract attention.
, it is used to survive by docking the tail. It is naturally best if you can escape it. If you cannot escape it, you can only bear the pain and give it up."
Samuel nodded: "In that case, just go with your original idea. Others will have no objections."
