Chapter 1524 Skillful Handling

Boufar, the god of commerce, was seen as the protector of merchants and the witness of various trade practices, and also had minor sub-authorities such as the god of money, the god of prosperity, and the protector of the meeting place.

At the same time, this god also has an interesting characteristic-he is regarded as the patron saint of the poor and the patron saint of the rich respectively. The rich hope that he can protect them from continuing to be rich, and the poor hope that this god can bless them from poverty. And when he is worshiped as the god of the rich, his name is Bofar, and when he is worshiped as the god of the poor, his name will become Fabal. It is unique among gods.

Although he has a lot of authority, among the numerous gods of Loren, this god who originally originated from the western part of the mainland actually does not have a high sense of existence. Although the church of the God of Commerce is widely distributed, its core believers are only Concentrate on the merchant group, and this group was considered a minority group in the northern part of the mainland until the emergence of the "Cecil-style commercial order". A large number of ordinary people are usually more accustomed to spreading widely and directly to themselves such as Feng Rao and Shengguang. "Benefits" dedicate their faith to the gods, so for a long time, the Church of the God of Commerce can only be regarded as the second or even third tier in Cecil's territory.

But on the other hand, it is actually a good thing that the god of business, Boufar, does not have a high level of faith. Because of his fewer followers and weaker church power, the chains between this god and the world will not be too strong. When the trade order of the new era brought by Syl was in full swing around the world, especially when subversive concepts such as commercial wars and modern finance were developing rapidly, this god obviously did not suffer the fatal impact like the God of War (1/1). It is still in a relatively stable state.

Considering that the combat power of the God of Commerce is likely to be at the same level as several gods in the field of art among the gods, it is obviously a good thing that he is not crazy-at least two major questions will be saved for history candidates in future generations.

In the southern part of Cecil City, in the church district, the heavily armed city security forces and the monks of the Theocracy Council in heavy armor have completed the blockade of all intersections near the Church of the God of Commerce.

In the cold wind, a young security guard in a black uniform sneezed. He subconsciously looked up at the closed church not far away, and saw several colleagues in the small square in front of the church. Hand over work with the trial monks sent by the Theocratic Council. Wearing pure white armor, holding a mechanical power hammer and a holy book of the Gospel, the monks who are more than two meters tall stand in front of ordinary security guards like steel giants, and they are intimidating. , but their extraordinarily tall figures are also the source of peace of mind for everyone here.

The security guard looked to the other side of the square. A large truck had just stopped near the intersection. Several priests wearing the uniforms of the Theocracy Council, who seemed to be technical monks, jumped out of the vehicle. The trainee monks were using the magic terminal to transfer some heavy machine parts from the car to the square. Those parts seemed to be able to be assembled into a large-scale device. Seeing the serious faces of several technical monks, the security team couldn't help guessing that the equipment might be It is the legendary anti-divine barrier generator that can shield the gods.

"What are you looking at?" The colleague on the side suddenly bumped the arm of the young security guard,

The latter, who was looking around, suddenly came back to his senses. He shrunk his neck subconsciously in the cold wind, turned his eyes to his colleagues and muttered casually: "There are a lot of powerful guys here... the armor just now Did you see the trial monk with the three scripture ribbons hanging on it? I’m afraid that’s not the trial knight commander of the tribunal?"

"You are so serious just to watch the trial monk?" The colleague next to him suddenly gave the young man a few strange eyes, "I thought you were looking at the nun lady..."

The young security guard suddenly frowned: "It's impolite to talk about ladies like that, and you're talking about the nuns of the Theocracy Council. Be careful that you were overheard by the trial monks in the square..."

"You're too nervous. The Theocratic Council is not a regular church, and it's not like their nuns can't fall in love." The colleague patted the young man on the shoulder. "I heard that Roger from the second brigade next door succeeded in dating a The nuns of the arbitration tribunal came together. That lady is not as scary as the priest of the arbitration tribunal in the impression of ordinary people from the outside world. If it is suitable, you might as well think about it..."

"Okay, okay, it's not that I don't know about this," the young man waved his hand, interrupting his colleagues casually, "You only talk about Roger from the second team, why don't you talk about Quinn from the third team, his girlfriend is still As for the nun of the Holy Light Church, he has been sitting on the balcony for two weeks..."

"...Er...they are from the Holy Light Church after all..."

"Forget it, I won't tell you this," the young man didn't let this increasingly crooked topic continue, but turned his eyes to the church, "Do you know what's going on? We are in such a hurry I was summoned here in a hurry, and the whole church was already blocked when I came here, and now I even alarmed the trial priests of the arbitration tribunal, as well as the big machine on the square... ordinary events can’t use this!"

"I didn't know, I arrived fifteen minutes earlier than you, and the captain didn't say anything to me—did you see those over there? Everyone was the same, and they were suddenly called over to take over the post while they were on patrol. Yes," the colleague shrugged, "but even the church is blocked, so it is quite normal for this incident to alarm the arbitration court, and it is definitely a big problem that only 'professionals' can deal with. We are here to maintain law and order. function, don’t inquire so much.”

The young security guard listened to his colleagues, but still couldn't help showing a little uneasy expression on his face. He looked in the direction of the church and the trial monks several times, and finally couldn't help muttering: " You said...won't there be another god missing this year?"

"Hey! You can't talk nonsense!" The colleague's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at the young man extremely nervously, "Do you know that my nephew wrote a dissertation at Imperial College for two months on the God of Commerce—he This thesis is just short of graduation!"

"...co-authoring you are just nervous about your nephew's thesis?"

"Nonsense, am I nervous about other things? I'm not someone like our Majesty..."

At this moment, a black magic guide car without any markings suddenly came from the direction of the street. With the sound of the car whistle and the uniform retreat of the two trial monks on the sentry post, the car went straight past the two squares. The security guards raised their heads when they heard the movement, passed through the church square under martial law, and drove towards the side entrance of the cathedral.

Gawain was sitting in the back seat of the magic car. Through the crystal glass on the side, his eyes swept over the newly assembled anti-theological barrier on the edge of the square, and his serious face relaxed a little: "The Theocratic Council The response was quick."

"After all, they are professionals, and they were raised by Wright and Veronica in person," Amber's voice came from the side. She was sitting next to Gao Wen. At this time, she was also lying on the window, looking at the other side of the square. "There are quite a few churches on this street..."

"The early planning is like this, so that it will be more convenient to manage the flow of people under normal circumstances or block the block in emergency situations," Gao Wen said subconsciously glanced at the distance, and saw several other church spiers or towers on the roof Flashing past above, he said casually, "Now it seems that such a plan is indeed prescient - if all the gods' kingdoms are in the 'Lady of the Night', then all churches will be key surveillance targets in the near future, if not With such an easy-to-manage church area, all the security teams and trial monks in the city will be exhausted during this time."

"Yeah, it's easy to manage, but you can do this," Amber couldn't help muttering after hearing this, "such a church area...the Church of the Three Gods of Abundance is next to the God of Blood, Opposite the Church of the God of Commerce is the Temple of the God of Music and Poetry. Next to the Church of the Holy Light in the center of the block, there is a circle of second-tier and third-tier churches. It's like a vegetable market. Last month, the saintess of the three gods of abundance and the chief priest of the blood god had an argument with the property management office because of a sewer problem. How big of a person are you two? In the name of God, go to the property management office to quarrel about this...

"It's not so much that there are more than a dozen churches crammed into this street. I think this style of painting is more like the gods gathering together and setting up more than a dozen intermediaries in the city."

Listening to Amber's babble, Gao Wen only showed a smile that was not a smile. He just listened quietly, until the other party finished speaking, he said happily: "Don't you think this is very good?"

Amber laughed, of course she knew what Gao Wen was talking about: "Well, since we want to 'de-sanctify', of course we must start by positioning the cathedral as an 'intermediary office opened by the gods in the world', and Logically speaking, when the church district was established, the representatives of various churches enthusiastically supported His Majesty's wise move, and now it's too late for them to quarrel."

Gao Wen shook his head: "I don't think a saint and a priest will really go to the property management office to argue about the sewer, even if this matter really exists, there are countless people under them who can deal with it ——You can only say that these two priests are very smart, they have adapted to the new rules of this era very well, and they have figured out what the theocratic council wants them to do. This is the same as the batch we executed back then. Heresy' is very different. But whatever the root cause, it's a good thing."

Hu Po opened her eyes wide and listened to Gao Wen's analysis. She blinked her eyes a few times after a long time, and sighed with conviction: "Why don't you say you are an old Yinbi, and what other Yinbis do with you seems to be bright and open..."

Gao Wen immediately frowned: "Is there anyone who praises you so much?"

Amber bared her teeth proudly. It is her greatest interest to tease the old zongzi in front of her when she is serious. Really happy, especially when she noticed that the magic car had started to slow down, and the fat priest with a worried and nervous face was already standing at the bottom of the steps, which meant that she had succeeded in the extreme challenge again today——Gao Wen affirmed You can't beat her in front of outsiders.

Gao Wen was well aware of this guy's careful thinking, but he didn't care about it.

The magic car stopped.

The middle-aged priest who was standing under the steps, accompanied by several senior priests, greeted him immediately, and immediately saluted Gao Wen after he got off the car. He drew a scale on his chest, and then clasped his hands Bow slightly: "I salute you, wise and powerful Your Majesty, I really didn't expect you to handle this matter in person, so we can feel more at ease..."

"Let's skip the etiquette first, Archbishop Boris," Gawain waved his hand. "What's the situation now? I heard that the 'imprint' caused by the vision has covered the entire side hall? Has anyone been contaminated?"

"Yes, those terrible marks crushed the entire room like invisible heavy objects, the hard stone floor was crushed, and even the altar was turned into powder," said Archbishop Boris, who is in charge of the church here. Immediately answered, the archbishop looked depressed at the moment because of a huge trouble, "Fortunately, the protective equipment installed by the council is set up in the corridors around the hall, and the damage caused by the vision is not damaged. Until the anti-divinity barrier is complete, the entire side hall is still completely covered by the protective force field."

Speaking of this, the bishop, who was assigned to the imperial capital as the "spokesperson" between the church and the royal family, paused and adjusted his expression: "The second good news is that I happened to be dealing with official documents near the side hall when the vision happened. After I noticed the abnormal energy shock for the first time, I immediately ordered to block all the passages leading to the entire corridor area. Therefore, after the accident, no random people approached the side hall, and no one was polluted.

"Currently only me and two high-ranking deacons have entered the side hall to check the situation. We have just been inspected by the Theocracy Council and confirmed that we have not been polluted."

There was some credit-seeking tone in the archbishop's words, but he had to say that his emergency response was indeed quite quick and correct, including checking the scene of the vision and cooperating with the theocratic council. The content was impeccable, so Gao Wen was really relieved Take a breath.

In the vision incident involving the gods, no one was polluted by divinity, which is great news no matter what time it is placed.

"Take me to the side hall," Gao Wen nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Except for me and the intelligence chief, all the other entourage are on standby outside the corridor area."

"Your Majesty," the chubby middle-aged priest subconsciously said after hearing Gao Wen's order, "You want to enter the side hall yourself? Wouldn't this be a bit...Of course, I know your magical ability of not being afraid of God's will, but the side hall The terrible crushing marks in the picture show that this vision is not only caused by spiritual pollution, but may also be accompanied by some kind of powerful physical damage..."

"Thank you for the reminder. I will check the situation first when I arrive at the scene, but there are some things that need to be seen by myself." Gao Wen nodded to the fat priest, "Lead the way first, I have my own discretion."

Archbishop Boris saw that His Majesty had made up his mind, so he couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."

After a while, Gao Wen and Amber entered the cathedral under the leadership of the archbishop, crossed the blockade, entered the corridor leading to the side hall, and finally came to the door of the side hall where the vision occurred.

The heavy and exquisite wooden door stood quietly at the end of the corridor, and it looked intact. Just from the outside, it was impossible to imagine what happened behind the door.

As Boris said, the vision was completely confined inside the side hall and did not affect the outside.
