Void City, over the past few months, has become the focus of attention for all churches across the continent.

Basically, the high-ranking priests of all the churches in the whole continent gathered here, and it was even rumored that there were legendary-level powerhouses who came in person, and with the arrival of the priests of the church, the Knights of the Templars, who were responsible for protecting the priests, were once as many as 100,000. There were as many as a dozen or twenty temporary military camps alone, densely packed around Void City, and it looked like it had expanded the scope of Void City by more than three times.

In this case, even the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire would not dare to make trouble openly, let alone those nobles of the Dabion Kingdom.

Of course, they were still full of malicious imagination, hoping that these priests from the various temples would make good use of their arrogance and cause some trouble for Void City. But they didn't know that Neil had already prepared for this, and he just used a very simple psychological method of comparison - the priests and priests who served the goddesses of ice and winter were so simple, are you embarrassed to ask for more? So many other temple priests and Templars around are watching you.

So all the priests and knights of the temple stayed honestly, and no one dared to cause trouble, in order to gain a reputation that was beneficial to the temple, several groups of bandits and robbers who even William felt a headache were beaten by these temple knights, and the law and order situation was even better than before.

These poor priests and bishops would not understand that the goddess of ice and winter had already made an agreement with Sean, and all the priests who served her would of course unconditionally cooperate with Sean in all his actions, so the actions of these temple bishops in order to win the believers were purely a knife in Neil's hands.

In Sean's territory, except for the goddess of ice and winter, it is impossible for any other gods to exist and believers.

It's just a pity that these bishops, who think they are wise, don't know anything at all. Or rather. Their minds were not on this at the moment, after all, the appearance of the demon represented an absolutely dangerous signal for them, especially now that the demon did not know where to go. And one of the most important problems is that the lords of Panda are also not in the territory, it is said that they are in the wilderness, and they cannot meet with their bishops.

It is precisely for this reason that after staying in Void City for a while, the bishops and priests of these churches also choose to leave. Capturing or killing a demon is much more valuable than wasting their time here, but in Neil's opinion, the biggest reason these guys want to leave is that their hospitality is too shabby, otherwise something like this would have to be done all over the place. They can be left to the Knights of the Templars and the low-level priests under their command to deal with, and there is no need to even go out themselves.

And looking at the direction of travel of these people, it is also completely possible to prove Neil's guess.

This torrent of faith, which represents the secular realm, is pouring towards the trading capital at the speed of locusts transiting.

At such a delicate and sensitive moment, how dare the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance not entertain these locusts. The Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance even dares to argue with an empire. But in the face of the faith of the entire continent, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

But even so. However, several priests were left in the Void City for the time being.

Their main purpose was to build a new temple here. Trying to attract new believers. It's just that all this time, the progress has been very difficult, because they soon find that whether it is Void City or the surrounding towns, everyone believes in the goddess of ice and snow and winter. No matter how hard they preached, the result was that no one believed in their gods, which made them feel powerless and shocked.

Absolutization of faith.

This is an explanation that is written only in the temples. It is also the highest degree of ideal that the gods desire, but in fact, both the gods and the bishops who believe in the gods know very well that this is an impossible situation!

The reason is simple.

Like the healing divine arts, it is naturally the goddess of life whose divine skills have the most outstanding effect, not to mention the dead, but the flesh and bones are at least fine. And everything related to battles and wars must be the belief in Marz, the god of war. Of course, there are also some gods that include multiple priesthoods, such as the goddess of ice and winter, the god of dawn, the goddess of victory, the god of twilight, and so on, and usually these gods are naturally more popular because of the wide nature of the priesthood.

Basically, regardless of the territory of a kingdom, there are generally temples of several gods even in the territory of a lord. Even the St. Joles Empire, which believed in the God of Dawn and was a clerical power above the imperial power, was not a hall where the God of Dawn had the final say, and the people in the empire also believed in other gods.

It is precisely because of this that when the bishops of these temples come to Sean's territory, the first thing that catches them is naturally the single belief of this territory. In their eyes, this situation is like an undeveloped virgin land, so of course they want to be able to negotiate with Sean to obtain the authority to establish a temple in this territory, but because Sean is not in the territory, and this kind of thing is too important, Neil has no way to call the shots - in fact, Neil knows that Sean and Ace Winter are the goddess agreement, but of course he can't say it, so he kicks the ball back to Sean.

But after waiting here for a long time and not seeing Sean come back, of course the pampered bishops couldn't stand it and left one after another, leaving only some people with a decent status here to wait for Sean's return, of course, by the way, to preach the doctrine, after all, even if the temple is not built, it is a good thing to be able to attract more shallow believers. It's just that what these people didn't expect was that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't even win over a shallow believer.

All the people in the entire territory believe in the goddess of ice, snow and winter!

It's nothing short of appalling.

And behind this appalling situation, all the priests also fell into silence and distress.

Heatley was one of these troubled priests.

She was very young, she looked like she was twenty-one or two years old, but she was actually younger than she looked. However, at the age of eighteen, Heatley is already the youngest and most promising chief priest in the Church of the Goddess of Life—the chief priest is not a rank, but a status symbol, an honor that only the purest priests of faith can obtain. In the absence of the bishop, the chief priest is the commander of the priests, a bit like a general.

Of course, few people know that the chief priest is actually synonymous with a candidate for sainthood.

Even Heatley didn't know what to do.

And the young and promising Heatley became the chief priest in the past two years, because of the lack of sufficient experience and courage, so this time when the churches of the whole continent set their sights on the Void City, the pope of the Church of Life asked the cardinal in charge of this incident to bring Heatley to the Void City, the purpose of which was of course to allow her to accumulate experience. After the Cardinal set off for the Trade Capital, Heatley became the acting head of the Goddess of Life in Void City. She commanded as many as ten subordinate priests, and a squad of eighteen Knights Templar was responsible for their safety.

This scale can be said to be the largest among all the churches still living in Void City, which not only shows the wealth of the Goddess of Life Church, but also the importance that this church attaches to Void City.

But it's been nearly a month. None of this gave Heatley any advantage, as did the other heads of the Church who remained in Void City. Hit a wall at every turn.

But. Things seem to have improved slightly lately.

Because more than a week ago, a scarred army entered the Void City. The damage to this force was so severe that many of them were left with only one breath of relief, and for the sake of proving the Church's worth and good-heartedness, Heatley had devoted himself to the care of the wounded for the last week or so. Finally, the lives of these people were not returned to the arms of the goddess.

Today, after Heatley had finally finished her final examination to make sure that the wounded soldiers were not in danger of their lives, she was able to take time to rest.

This sense of fulfillment was very satisfying for Heatley.

However, the establishment of the temple of the church was still not approved. Heatley's face was filled with distress.

"Beautiful young lady, frowning will ruin your temperament."

At this moment, a slightly muffled voice suddenly sounded, startling Heatley.

When Heatley turned around, he saw a man in leather pants and boots, but with his upper body naked and wearing a knee-length trench coat, standing not far from him. He has long purple-blue hair, golden eyes and a handsome face that makes people's hearts beat faster, although the whole person looks a little strange with his outfit, but it is undeniable that this man does have a very unique and extraordinary charm.

But I don't know what I am, when Heatley saw this man, her heart jumped suddenly, not because of shyness, but because of an instinctive tremor from the soul. It's as if you've encountered some natural enemy, and the whole person has become numb and unable to move because of fear, so you can only let people eat it. Fortunately, however, this illusion quickly disappeared, and when Heatley stared intently, the other party was already sitting next to her.

"Do you have any troubles?" The handsome and wicked man asked softly.

"Are you ......" Heatley asked subconsciously, moving slightly to keep a distance from the strange man.

"You can call me Enkos." The young-looking evil man smiled and said, "I just saw your sad face and sighing like a sigh, which really makes people feel distressed. …… Is there anything I can help you with? This beautiful ......"

"My name is Heatley, and I am a priest who serves the goddess of life." Heatley's face flushed slightly, but she replied anyway.

"Beautiful Miss Heatley." Nkos smiled and nodded, "I've seen all the things you have done to treat these wounded these days, it's really admirable." ”

"This ...... This is what I should do. Heatley bowed her head a little shyly.

"So, what's your trouble?" Nkos smiled and asked, "Maybe I can help." ”

"I hope to be able to get Sean. The right to build a temple in Sir Connery's domain. Heatley subconsciously spoke, but soon she smiled helplessly, she felt a bit like a fool, she didn't even know what this Enkos was doing, what was the use of telling her this? Soon, Heatley added, "But Sean. Sir Connelly doesn't seem to be in the realm at the moment, so ......"

"If you're looking for the lord of this territory, he's already back." Enkos said with a smile, "Not long ago, Alfred the Raging Lion escorted all the way back, and the Archon Neil and the Commander William went to greet them in person, even the residents of the city. ”

"Ahh Hearing Enkos's words, Heatley jumped up in surprise, she had felt that something was wrong since just now, and now she finally realized that it was quieter than usual in this place today, "Then I will take my leave, Mr. Enkos." ”

"Wait." Nkos spoke, "You shouldn't be going to talk to him about the temple now, are you?" ”

"Yes." Heatley nodded, looking at Nkos with some confusion.

"Sean is injured ......"

"Then I should visit the lord at this time." Heatley interrupted Nkos with an eager expression, "The goddess teaches us ......"

"Ugh." Enkos sighed a little helplessly, "You may not be able to see Sean now, so let's wait, if nothing else, the lord will definitely summon you today, after all, the injuries he is suffering now can only be treated by you." …… If I were you, I would definitely go back and pray to your goddess now, restore my divine power to its fullest state, and bring a drop of life essence. ”

When he heard Enkos say the "Life Essence", Heatley's face changed instantly: "Lord Lord is actually so seriously injured!" ”

"His injuries weren't serious, just a piece of flesh missing." Nkos pursed his lips, "Without the Life Essence, it would be impossible for him to regrow this piece of flesh that he had lost." After a slight pause, Nkos continued, "So you better be prepared to visit this lord again." …… Of course, you don't need to mention the right to build a temple after you do that, and I'm sure Sean will soon come to you again and agree to you building a temple on his territory. ”

"Ah, thank you so much for your advice, Mr. Nkos." Heatley bowed to Enkos excitedly, but when she looked up again, Enkos was gone.

This strange phenomenon certainly surprised Heatley a little, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and instead thought of Enkos as a mysterious powerhouse, and she even thought that this Enkos must have been sent by the Pope to assist her mentor.

It was only after Heatley left that Nkos's figure reappeared, only this time with a young man in a black gown.

Bass.

"You're playing with fire." Beth looked at Enkos calmly, his voice low but already clearly reproachful, "That little guy has an agreement with Ace Wintertle. And your meddling this time is likely to cause some surprises, and Andrew will be unhappy. ”

"The lord will thank me." Nkos shrugged, "Ace Wintertle's priesthood has nothing to do with healing at all. The agreement between mortals and gods is not that strong, and I will talk to Ace Winter about it. ”

"She is a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the Church of Life, and I'm afraid that the word 'candidate' will be removed soon."

"I know it."

Hearing Enkos say this, Bess could only sigh helplessly after all: "Your old problem has not changed, and when you see the holy woman, your compassion is overflowing." Don't forget that you are a demon, and this time all the people of the church are here for you, and you dare to show your face in front of a future saint. …… Moreover, the price of reviving you this time is very heavy, and you are the only one who has a free body at the moment, and I need to stay here to atone for your sins. ”

"I understand." Nkos nodded, "I'll leave tomorrow." (To be continued......)
