Chapter 453: A Wavering Beginning (IV)

Jenn didn't go to the Templar Order, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about what happened in the White Tower. When Nadia was summoned to the Templar Order, it really worried Oldman and the others, after all, the Templar Order did not interfere in the affairs of the nobility, and the commoners knew about it. So Nadia's willingness to help them actually made Oldman and them very worried, these people were from poor backgrounds, and most of them were quite simple and kind in heart so far, even if they wanted to enjoy it, it was only the level of "the emperor's golden burden". It is in this atmosphere that Nadia will quickly be recognized by others. After all, not every clergyman has the courage to rebel against the Templar Order.

Because of this, when Nadia was summoned by the Central Bishopric, Oldman and the others couldn't help but be a little flustered and uneasy, especially after listening to Jenn give them a science about what the Central Bishopric is, these people were even more worried. It's not because they're going to lose a strong fight. It's just worrying about Nadia, a kind-hearted girl. But this is not surprising, even if they have come to this point, the mentality of the small citizens in the bones of Oldman has not changed. Perhaps now, after a series of tests, they are no longer as nervous about killing a baron as they were before, as if they had killed the emperor. But after all, the Templar Order has always been the spokesperson of the high gods, and there is a world of difference between them and the power structures of the mortal world. What's more, Nadia had indeed violated the Templar's regulations, which made many people worried. I'm afraid she'll be locked up in prison when she returns, or have her paladin status revoked. Some people are even worried about whether Nadia will be burned at the stake.........

I have to admit that these people are quite imaginative in this regard. Even Oldman was influenced by them. I talked to Nadia once and asked her if she wanted to leave here altogether. Hide your name elsewhere and avoid being hunted by the Templar. This almost didn't make Jenn laugh, godlike knights like this are all protected by the stars of destiny, and astrologers can find their stars of destiny if they have the heart. Unless Nadia's brains are sucked away to the lower realms, it is not only a matter of time before she is found out where she is hiding in the entire Crane Continent?

What's more, Nadia won't run away because of this kind of thing.

But unlike them, Jenn wasn't worried about it at all. Especially when Nadia returned to Khalkhaland, and saw the messengers of the Temple of War and the Emerald Temple behind her, Jenn knew it. Everything has changed.

If it had been before, Nadia had been summoned like this, then Jenn would probably have been a little worried. But after Nadia was favored by the True Eye and became a member of the gods, Jenn knew she had nothing to worry about. Because from this moment on, it marks the official start of the battle between theocracy and political power.

He wasn't at all worried that Nadia would be treated unfairly within the Templar Order, because what she did was exactly what the gods wanted her to do.

I have said it before. The power of the rule gods comes from faith, from the rules themselves. Over the years, the Templars have treated the gods as mortal kings. They spend a lot of money to shape the golden bodies of the gods. Vigorously develop believers, believing that in this way they can gain the approval and favor of the gods. And in fact? Mortal wealth means nothing to the gods of the rule, you just take diamonds to make statues for him. But if they don't act according to its teachings, then no amount of money they donate. Because of money. It is impossible to become the power of a god.

And now, the favor of the True Eye is a sign that the gods can no longer tolerate such a thing. And rightfully so. While the Templars are still doing things, their concession to the nobility will lead to a significant degradation of the faith among the common people, and there will be clergy like Rocky, who have fallen out of disappointment. If we don't correct it, then in the long run, there won't be many people who sincerely believe in the gods. And the power they get from their faith will be greatly diminished. For the gods, this is a matter of life and death, and it is much more important than donating millions of dollars.

It's just that the gods have not been able to find the time to intervene. Of course, they couldn't have sent a direct oracle to the Templar to change their ways. After all, this will only cause turmoil within the Order and shake the faith. So for them, too, there needs to be a time for change. And what happened in Khalkharan was exactly what the gods wanted, not to mention Nadia, a devout believer in the True Eye, and everything she did did did not deviate from the god's beliefs at all. Using this as a breakthrough to make changes, it is clear that those high gods have also made plans.

And that's exactly what happened.

According to Nadia's introduction, follow her back to the two representatives of Khalkhaland, the representative of the Temple of the God of War is also a god, this person Jenn is not even a stranger, he is the Paladin Chief Locks of the Temple of the God of War, it was he who took Jenn out of the dark region in the first place, and gave him the status of a nobleman. It's just that he didn't expect to see this paladin chief here, which really surprised Jenn.

At present, Locks has completely lost the expression of a lost dog when he was in the dark region, it seems that completing the mission and bringing the statue of the Sage back to the Temple of War has indeed given him a lot of benefits, and now this paladin chief looks like a model of some successful people.

According to Captain Locks Paladin, the gods of war will develop their faith here, not only will they build temples here, but they will also train believers and priests, in addition to this, Captain Locks Paladins even said that when the "Free Salvation Army" goes to war, they will also send paladins and chaplains to accompany them!

This is naked, and we want to stand on the same front as the Free Army of National Salvation!

However, considering that the realm of the god of war is war, only war can he gain faith, and resisting tyranny is such a three-minded and famous thing, and it will definitely be able to gain the favor of the god of war, so it is not incomprehensible that Locks is so undisciplined.

Compared to the Temple of War, the Emerald Temple is much more euphemistic, as the goddess of nature, the Emerald Temple has little to do with human society, and there is very little contact, and most of the people who believe in her are elves, half-elves and druids. This time, it was only a half-elf priest from the Emerald Temple, and she offered to provide some rear support to the local people of Khalkaland and the "Free Salvation Army", of course, these were almost limited to small things such as healing injuries and diseases, and their requirements were not high, only a small piece of wood was enough. Oldman naturally agreed to this without hesitation, because Jenn had told him that these tree poles liked to drill into the woods, and they didn't cause trouble anyway, so it was better to stay.

"The time is almost up........."

Standing on the terrace, looking at the city of Tagus in front of him, Jenn smiled slightly. Now that the "Free Army of National Salvation" has developed, in terms of timing, it is impossible for the "Free Army of National Salvation" occupying the city of Tagus to be defeated by the Soros family, and as far as the current situation is concerned, after receiving the support of the three temples of the True Eye, the Emerald Green Goddess and the God of War, Oldman and others can be regarded as recognized by the people of the Khalkaland region. After all, in the eyes of the people, the temple is still very reputable, and since even the temple has publicly declared its support for the "National Salvation Free Army", then they are much more relieved than before. In any case, a force that can be recognized by the temple should not be like those nobles who are smashing and looting at every turn.

As for what's next......... It's almost time to walk out on your own.

Facing him, Jenn twitched his fingers slightly. Of course, he couldn't have disappeared like this, and now Jenn is quite famous in the Khalkaland region, but under Jenn's deliberate manipulation, this fame has not spread beyond a limit. For most people, they are most familiar with Augustus, after all, he is a good leader and has done a lot of things that are closely related to the people. Jenn's reputation is more like that of a king's general, and people know him basically around that he is a very good assistant to Augustus, and a heroic figure with strong strength. This is also the result of Jenn's deliberate guidance, otherwise, with his merits alone, it is possible that Augustus will not be able to reach his current level.

But......... Now that everything is settled, there are almost no problems.

The game is over, and the rest is up to them.

Thinking of this, Jenn smiled slightly, and then he turned his head and looked to the side.

"Aina, it's almost time to call it a day, it's time for us to get out of here."

"Huh? Is the master leaving?

Hearing Jenn's words, the half-elf girl leaning next to her obviously looked a little bored.

"I think I can play it again............... But those nasty guys are really troublesome, master, how are you going to go? Just leave? Would you like Aina to relay a farewell letter or something? ”

"There's no need for that."

In the face of Aina's inquiry, Jenn smiled coldly, he raised his hand, staring at his palm, and then, a cold light flashed in Jenn's eyes.

"I'm going to say goodbye to these people anyway, so let me give them one last big gift before I leave. The goal and motivation that will enable them to fight forever for freedom, peace and democracy......... I think it's going to be a fun ending. (To be continued......)
