MTL - Sword of Daybreaker-Chapter 1540 Progress in the North (votes requested)
Gawain's order was quickly implemented, and the "Ms. Night Letter" concocted by Amber was soon sent to the cathedrals in the city, and the saints, saints, archbishops, and archbishops were guarded against the anti-divine barrier. The sanctuary of the city performed direct-to-the-god sacrificial rites, all completed with astonishing speed and swiftness, and after most of the sacrificial ceremonies in the city were over, Veronica returned to Cecil Gong returned to Gao Wen.
"At present, all the 'letters' have been sent 'up', and the churches have not received direct feedback from the gods, but according to the response speed of the ceremony, the gods should have sensed Lady Ye's breath from the sacrifices. We didn't neglect them at all," Veronica stood in front of Gawain's desk with a platinum scepter in her hand, with a slightly subtle expression on her face, "I really didn't expect that things would develop like this one day..."
"Don't say you didn't expect it, I didn't expect it either," Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, "We should sort it out later to see if there are any missing gods who haven't been notified."
"I've roughly sorted it out," Veronica seemed to have known that Gawain would ask about this, and nodded immediately, "Imperial Capital is the most important cultural and economic exchange center in the northern part of the continent, and it is also the headquarters of the Theocratic Council, so the world is All Orthodox Churches have set up at least one 'agent window' in this city, and even some churches have set up their headquarters in Cecil City. These 'windows' have the functions of performing sacrifice ceremonies and communicating with the gods. .
"Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned Orthodox Church, there are also some small-scale unpopular beliefs in this world, such as the tribal gods in some mountains and forests in the western region of Ogure, or the local gods worshipped by some city-states in the southern continent, These regional sects do not have a communication window in the imperial capital, but they are still on the watch list of the Theocratic Council, and based on the last report of the tribunal, I don't think these regional sects need to worry - the vast majority of them Most of them have not developed to the point of actually producing gods, and the rest have only produced some 'miracles' with very little directivity, and their actions are currently under control. This level of belief system does not have the ability to produce gods. the basis of disaster."
Gawain rubbed his brows. In other words, the small sects in the area that Veronica was referring to were actually a group of blind believers formed spontaneously by old villagers and old ladies who were fooled by a few wild gods. "Church" is strictly prohibited, but in some relatively backward areas, this phenomenon is repeated repeatedly. They believe in everything, and even worship meteorites and mushrooms. The common feature is that when they join the church, they usually send eggs and eggs. The pie, and the believers basically still believe in a real **** - the major sects in the Loren continent do not have the mandatory requirement of "belief only", so that this kind of strange situation occurs repeatedly in many places.
Of course, the Theocratic Council does not want to see such a dangerous phenomenon of welding detonators and sawing light bulbs, but the Council is still short-lived after all. Regional influence is also limited. For most of the "fanatic sects" that are far away from the radiation range of the three empires, the council can at best monitor and prevent them from spreading outward.
This kind of monitoring and blocking is not a long-term solution, but it is sufficient for the current situation. As long as they don't develop to a certain extent, these rural churches will not be able to give birth to real gods, and even if they create some hazy "spirits", they will not reach the level of causing divine disasters - even to the extreme, even if Those superstitious old men and women really used a couple of taels of pig head meat and half a bottle of moonshine to make a fool of themselves. The local council made a report, and the Arbitration Tribunal sent two judges of knights or nuns. It should have been wiped out. .
After all, times have changed, and the peace-loving people of Loren are not at all lenient when it comes to eliminating the dangers that may endanger the peace.
"Then we'll see if the gods will come to gather on time," Gawain exhaled softly, and the smooth progress of the matter made his expression slightly relaxed, "But in this way, 'nature dominates the seclusion place'. ' But he didn't hide at all, and I don't know if Amoen expected how busy his place would be in the future... Then the only thing we need to worry about is that one."
Gawain's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked up into Veronica's eyes: "What is the state of the God of Light now?"
God of Light, this is the only uncontrollable link in Gawain's entire "Gods Bombing" plan, because God of Light was annihilated in the destruction of Gondor more than 700 years ago. , The "god" that remains in the field of holy light today is just a pure divine crystallization. It has responded to the prayers of the earth in a mechanized way for hundreds of years. It's a good thing for the text, which allows him to safely and boldly use it as a "test object" for the many plans of the Theocratic Council, allowing him to successfully complete the transformation of the Church of the Holy Light, but now, it has become a huge trouble.
Without the half-body of humanity, the God of Holy Light would naturally not be able to take the initiative to cooperate with Gawain's plan, nor would it be possible to help stack Cecil's "virtue" on the throne. The "limiter" can stop the madness of that crystal.
Of course, since the Church of the Holy Light was the first to accept the transformation, and the transformation process was relatively smooth and thorough, the faith of the Holy Light in this world no longer directly points to the God of Light, and the power of that "crystal" has been greatly weakened. But even so, a few years of nerfs are hardly worth a thousand years of accumulation, and Veronica's return proves that.
"...God of Light still exists, its size has been reduced by more than half, and the breath it emits is not as strong as before, but He does still exist," Veronica nodded lightly and replied with a serious expression , "His body is now operating in the kingdom of God, and even if the beliefs of mortals have been redirected elsewhere, his state remains the same as before, operating strictly in accordance with dogma."
"Like a bomb, waiting quietly for the trigger..." Gawain frowned and said slowly, "Can't you 'deliver' items to the Holy Light Divine Kingdom?"
Veronica shook her head gently: "I can use the power of the platinum scepter to 'visit' the Holy Light Divine Kingdom, but it is only a spiritual projection. The platinum scepter does not have the function of sending physical matter into the Divine Kingdom. But... I personally think we might not have to worry too much about the status of the God of Light."
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh?"
"The God of Light is currently in a 'shielded' state, and this shielding state is not limited to the beliefs of mortals," Veronica explained while organizing language, "The connection between gods and mortals is based on ideas. , and our transformation of the Church of the Holy Light over the years has all started from the 'ideological trend' level, the Protestant doctrine has blocked the connection between the ideological trend and the God of Holy Light, which has actually cut off the most important link when the final disobedience is triggered."
Gawain thought thoughtfully: "That is to say... at least in the field of Holy Light, has the Theocratic Council achieved that theoretical goal?"
"This is just my personal judgment. After all, the state of thoughts and gods cannot be quantified. Before things really develop to a certain stage, all judgments cannot be said to be 100% correct," Veronica said cautiously. "But recently, I have been observing the state of the God of Light, and I have used the power of the platinum scepter several times to directly enter the Holy Light Kingdom to confirm the status quo. According to my observations, the flow of belief over the Kingdom of God has now been completely redirect.
"Of course, there should still be a few stubborn believers who adhere to the old teachings or hidden idol worshipers in the world. After all, it is impossible to completely clean up a huge deep-rooted belief system in just a few years of transformation and cleaning, but these heretics Since they are few in number and unable to carry out public and formal religious activities, they will not be able to form a clear projection of thoughts in the deep sea, and naturally they will not be able to affect the stability of the God of Light."
The existence of diehards is a vexing problem, but also one of the most intractable. The Holy Light Sect has been operating on this land for centuries based on the old Ansu, its influence is deeply rooted, and there are countless devout believers, although the new sect led by Gawain has adopted many ingenious means to make a large number of saints. The believers of the Light passively changed the trend of thought, and used strong means to clean up a large number of corrupt and depraved old religionists, but he still couldn't clean up those who devoutly believed in the God of Light.
What kind of stubborns are the hardest to clean up? What kind of old-fashioned priest would make both the ruler of the empire and the leader of the disobedient have to tread carefully?
They are not corrupt priests who amass money and oppress the commoners in the name of their faith, nor are they the old religious leaders who used extraordinary power to rally the party and the tsunami. Such people were caught and hung on lampposts and flagpoles as early as the early days of the Great Purge. Those who can't be cleaned up now are all upright gentlemen whose actions are beyond reproach, respectable people who uphold justice from the bottom of their hearts and win everyone's respect with their actual words and deeds.
They follow the good way in the teachings, be strict with themselves and be lenient with others, and are impeccable in morality and wisdom. Except for unswervingly believing in the God of Light and seeing the essence of Protestant reform at a glance, they have no Any mistakes, even a priest model.
Even Wright paid tribute to them.
A sect that has grown to a huge scale, even if it is rotten to its roots, there will still be a few such sages, and the most Gawain and Wright can do is to marginalize these highly respected "sages". , to prevent them from continuing to influence the public.
Fortunately, the era of sages has passed.
"Strengthen the monitoring of those old-school priests on the list, so that they can "retire" at ease. You can always pay attention to the status of the God of Light, and report immediately if there are signs of re-aggregation of thoughts," Gao Wen sighed softly, In a solemn tone, he commanded, "If the day comes when we really get out of control... we can only clean up those people on the list, and then prepare to fight the God of Light. In this matter, we can't expect Ms. Ye to continue. help."
Veronica bowed her head deeply: "Yes."
Veronica left, leaving Gawain alone again in the huge study.
The whole day was busy and busy, and when Gawain finally became quiet, a giant sun had gradually sunk to the end of the horizon, and the golden-red glow was gradually spreading from the direction of the wilderness. The sloping angle penetrates the crystal glass window and spreads all over the study.
In front of Gao Wen, the pen holder, ink bottle, and ornaments on the desk were all pulled out in long shadows, and the light and shade stretched out in his field of vision. Looking at the uneven light and shadow, his high-speed operation for a day The brain finally relaxes a little.
He leaned back in the high-back chair, quietly emptied his mind, and enjoyed the rare quietness of the day.
Unfortunately, his enjoyment did not last long.
A familiar aura suddenly appeared beside him, and Gawain's just-relaxed spirit was instantly lifted, he immediately recovered, and looked at the shadow crack that was gradually opening in the air next to him: "What happened? "
Amber protruded halfway from the shadow fissure, but she stopped suddenly and looked at Gao Wen who was sitting upright behind the desk with some weird eyes. After hesitating for two seconds, she said: "...Actually you You can relax a little longer, and you can pretend I haven't gotten out yet."
"You suddenly came to the study to find me around dinner time, something important must have happened," Gawain shrugged, "I'm not short of a few minutes of rest, tell me, what's the situation?"
"If I knew I had been dawdling for two minutes, it's still a few minutes... I'm afraid that you will die behind this desk one day," Amber muttered as he drilled out of the shadow fissure, and then sighed Tone, "There was a communication from the north just now, and the expedition team led by Modier has discovered it."
"Where is Modier?" Gawain's eyes suddenly became sharp, "What's the situation?"
"They found the city of a thousand towers," Amber said casually, "and in the city of a thousand towers they met the monarch of the Violet Kingdom, the last Violet man left in the real world-Prince Nash Naart, and the man named Bei Nadido's magical artificial intelligence."
"Have you found the city of a thousand towers? And you have also seen Prince Nash?!" Gawain opened his eyes slightly. He guessed that Modier would lead someone to find the mysterious city sooner or later, but he didn't expect that they would even see it. "The Last Violet Man" - In his judgment, all the citizens of the Violet Kingdom should have returned to the night with Lady Ye's awakening. "Haven't the Violet Man already left the real world?"
"You may not believe it. Judging from the report from the north, I suspect that Prince Nash has an unusual relationship with that 'Benadido'," Amber immediately began to gossip, "What do you call this? Oh, with the Paper Man..."
Before Amber had finished speaking, Gao Wen gave her a hard look: "Speak up for business!"
"Oh, let's get down to business," Amber stuck out his tongue and reluctantly restrained his expression, "In short, according to the information from Modir, the city of a thousand towers is currently in a state between reality and illusion. Existing in the darkness within the Violet Island, and requiring a special 'channel' to enter, he has been invited to enter the city with someone last night, and was entertained by Prince Nash, but Prince Nash did not disclose any further details. Ms. Ye's information only said that 'the guests have not arrived yet', and then sent them back to the surface when night fell again today.
"Now Modier guesses that the City of Thousand Towers should be the entrance to the Kingdom of Shadows, but Lady Ye should have given an order that the entrance will only be opened when all the invited visitors have arrived. Before that, Not only is the gate closed, but even the information about the Shadow Kingdom is closed to the outside world."
