Chapter 940: Threatened

"Bastard! Shameless! Despicable and filthy miscellaneous shreds, it pisses me off! ”

That night, Archbishop Faronor, who was hiding in the homes of believers in Manhattan's labor community, received a letter.

When he read the letter, the archbishop's face was distorted, and his face turned pale, and even the devout disciple on the side could clearly see that the bishop's hand holding the letter was trembling slightly.

I don't know what happened to the bishop, a letter can make him like this.

Poor pious believer did not dare to ask more at this time, for when he was in Europe, the old man of the church was very powerful, and he was always in mind.

With a wave of his hand, Farenor let the devout believer retreat.

He read the letter that had been given to him again.

Call!

After taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Archbishop Falenor folded the letter and put it in his arms.

It's a terrible place in America, and the lambs have changed a lot since they came here.

Their faith in the Lord has become less firm and even beginning to have doubts.

All this is unimaginable and impossible on the European side.

If anyone on the other side of Europe dared to doubt the Lord, then such a person would surely be burned or stoned to death.

But in the Americas, people are free to express their opinions. Even European immigrants who have been oppressed and oppressed by the Church will tell their stories about what happened to them in Europe.

This kind of topic can always resonate with many people.

Yes, who hasn't had such an experience when they were in Europe?

Even the people who live in the countryside have to be respectful to their village officials, and from time to time they have to pay filial piety.

Otherwise, the priest says you're demonically possessed. Or a witch puppet, you're going to be out of luck. Even some nobles and powerful landowners would collude with the priests and priests of the church to get rid of the owners of the land they fancied under some pretext.

Father Farenor himself has done something like this, so there is nothing surprising about it.

Even when many priests see beautiful girls in their area, they will use various means to seduce those girls in order to achieve their goals.

If the girls refused, the priests or priests would become angry and take them into the dungeons of the local inquisition to be imprisoned and tortured, using the excuse that they were shrine maidens.

Often the fate of those girls. It's not going to be good.

But that's in Europe, and they don't do it and no one will say anything.

Ignorant people will even support this, so the church can do whatever it wants. Farenor even felt that they were really the heavens, the incarnation of God!

But when they came to the Americas, they found that they were still mortals, not the embodiment of gods at all. It is impossible for them to walk in the world on behalf of God, and the people of the Song Empire do not want to see them at all.

Even, after two great purges. God did not show any punishment.

For all this, in fact, Faronor himself understands it. What God, what God's servant, what is the substitute of God to preach the gospel in the world. All this is just a means and an excuse for them to amass wealth and deceive the world.

When he himself went from a young and ignorant youth to a high-ranking archbishop of the Church, they already knew a lot about the secrets of the Church.

And after knowing these secrets, he no longer believes in anything.

The truth is very frustrating. But what about him?

As a person who has entered the circle of interests, he has to protect the interests of this circle.

What's more, he is already at the top of this interest circle.

So, ah. Even if he knew some truths and inside stories, he could only pretend to be very pious every day, and then be brainwashed and hinted by himself every day, so that he could believe that there was really a Lord in this world.

However, with the advent of the Interception Sect, he found that all of this was finally broken.

They even know more things than they know and believe.

And the other party proves the existence of God, but also proves that the Lord he believes in is not ...... at all A member of that group, but a virtual idol that has been created.

Of course, there is also some clarity about these Farenol.

As the cardinal archbishop of the Church, he always had access to some high-level secrets.

And because he lost the power struggle at the top of the church, he was sent to the American side.

Originally, in his opinion, the Americas were still a barren land of faith, and he could fully display his talents.

However, what he never expected was that the people here were very repulsive to them.

Even, even the Song Empire here didn't have a good impression of them.

He knows his own affairs, and people have such an attitude towards him, and Farenoll can understand it if he thinks about it a little.

But what can we do if we understand?

He can't change anything, can he?

When he first came to the Americas, the Second Great Purge had already passed.

The Church sent him not only because he had lost the power struggle at the top, but also because there were not many cardinals at the top who were willing to come.

After all, it had undergone two major purges of the church, and it was a terrible place for the church hierarchy.

They lived in Europe well, and enjoyed great power, so why did they come to this horrible place? Even if you're not careful, your life will be gone.

Eventually, Farenor was dispatched.

Truth be told, Faronor has a good sense of America.

The city here has a lot of energy, it is clean and tidy, and the people have happy smiles on their faces, which you can't see in Europe.

At the same time, there is a lot of wealth here, and the people are very rich.

This is also very attractive to Faronor.

However, because of the two Great Purges, the power of the church could not rise to the top here.

So, even you can feel the wealth here is compelling. But he could only stare at it.

Originally, he thought that everything would take his time, and when he established himself here, he would surely be able to establish a branch here that was richer than the European Church.

By that time, he would be raising his eyebrows.

Even, he can learn Protestantism and make a schism or something.

When the time comes, the emperor will be far away, and there will be no way to teach those people, right?

But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

God knows how it was at this time that suddenly there was an interception!

Moreover, the Song Empire was able to tolerate the interception of religion and spread their faith on the streets. At the same time, you can also organize a big party!

The Song Empire's treatment of the sect was not at all the same as its treatment of them, which made Falenor quite envious and jealous.

But he didn't dare to find trouble with the sect, after all, the church was still under the severe blow of the Song Empire.

originally wanted to intercept the sect to develop them, but these people were still developing in secret, and they didn't provoke each other.

But it didn't come to pass, but it caused another trouble.

A guy named Bill actually wrote a letter to himself, and this letter didn't say much. But the content made Falenor's face and liver tremble......

In Bill's letter to Faronor, it begins with a request for money.

And then. also pointed out the identities of Farenoor and others, and directly said that if he didn't give money, then he would expose their identities, and he would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money on the Song Empire's side. Come buy the news.

Subsequently, the letter also listed the names and addresses of Farenor and others...... This made the archbishop angry and frightened at the same time.

Bill's threat is still a threat to the Bishop.

After all, on the side of the Song Empire, these people are the targets of the empire's severe crackdown.

It is conceivable that if he did not agree to Bill's request.

So. A guy like Bill would definitely sell them all for money.

And the Song Empire will definitely give them a lot of money.

As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and the bishop is well aware of the magic of money.

He didn't dare to take risks!

Especially risking your own life.

But. Archbishop Falenor was also a little unwilling.

Because what is Bill, he's just a little gangster.

When this guy first came to America, he was just an ordinary person. There was nothing special in the working community, and if it weren't for their support, Bill might still be working as a manure digger or a dock labourer.

If it was in Europe, give Bill a few dares, he wouldn't dare do such a thing.

Now, however, Bill has threatened himself to ask for money. He didn't care about the help he had received before, and he was so kind of revenge.

Moreover, this is too disrespectful of the people of the church.

Thinking of all this, Faronor felt very tightness in his chest.

However, the Bishop could not fail to pay attention to Bill's threat.

Because he knows the nature of these scum too well, and if his demands are not fulfilled by himself, then he will definitely do the things mentioned in the letter.

So, the Bishop couldn't help but curse in a low voice again.

But swearing is swearing, and the problems that should be solved still need to be solved.

If the other party asks for money, then you can give it here.

It's just that Faronor is worried that this is just the beginning, if the other party is satisfied now, then what if the other party intensifies?

At that point, this will become a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction.

So, he needs to discuss this matter with his companions.

He walked out of the room, found the devout disciple who had taken him in, and told him to gather the rest of the group and discuss the matter at once. (To be continued......)
