Hearing Ophelia's words, Gawain raised his eyebrows: "The female priest is in an embarrassing situation? What's the situation?"

"After the battle of defending the city, the original Holy See knights and battle priests in the church were severely reduced, and now they are undergoing reorganization and reorganization. The patriarch is going to convert those who pass the test into white knights, but there is a problem... female priests And the female knights don't seem to fit the white knight's... style and gear.

"In addition, as far as I know, the main priests of the Southern Church are composed of the White Knights. Of course, they are all powerful warriors of the Holy Light. They are very reliable on the battlefield, but as a window to spread their teachings, their style is a bit..."

Ophelia was a little hesitant to say this. Rao was a thousand-year-old disobedient. She seemed to feel a little entangled at the moment, but she still said the following words: "Their style is not very suitable for getting close to the people. . We tried to reopen the confessionals in the church district, with the White Knights taking turns in order to relieve the pressure after the popular war, but there was little response..."

Gawain almost guessed what was going on.

Ophelia sighed, her tone rather helpless: "Frankly speaking, after the people who went to the confessional knew that there was a white knight inside, they were very worried that the people inside would jump out if they told their mistakes. Hammer yourself to death - even though we all know it's impossible..."

Gawain couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.

This situation does exist—I don’t know which link went wrong (it may be related to the personal style of the Patriarch), the Southern Holy Light Church has embarked on a certain road of no return since its reformation. Although there are ordinary priests and nuns, its main structure is the white knight chapter and the "mechanical monks" who assist the operation of the chapter. This militarized organizational form is coupled with government affairs. The way the hall is controlled ensures a high degree of control and loyalty in the Church of the South, but on the other hand...

There seems to be something wrong with its style.

When they were in the South, in a state of war, there was no problem with such a church, but the overly rigid and cold White Knight had a natural lack of "affinity", which became a shortcoming under the current circumstances.

And another point Ophelia made is also true: the current white knight suit is not suitable for female clerics, it must be redesigned.

Even without considering all the above issues, proper placement of female priests in the process of church restructuring is a must. In this regard, Wright may not have mature experience. If Ophelia wants to implement any measures, Naturally, he wanted to ask Gawain's opinion.

"The northern church needs to be reformed,

Naturally, it includes all priests and monks. You can count the number of combat-type and civilian-type priestesses, and discuss with Wright a new set of organization and management methods. Let me have a look at the plan. In addition, I will also arrange for the research department to set up a project as soon as possible to make equipment suitable for female priests. "

"Thank you for your understanding," Ophelia bowed her head in thanks, "other than that, I have no other problems."

Gawain nodded: "Let's be here today."

Ophelia stood up, and before exiting the study, she turned her head and glanced at the bookshelf next to her, and nodded lightly with a smile.

After she left, the air next to the bookshelf trembled and distorted, Amber's figure jumped out of nowhere, and shouted, "She really saw me!!"

"You can't hide from her, didn't you know it before," Gawain looked at the half-elf, "We discovered you at the same time when you entered the house - but I'm a little surprised that you are so quiet. Waiting by the side for so long."

"I'm just curious about what you're talking about," Amber waved his hands, "and I'm also the director of the Bureau of Military Intelligence to some extent, so I still have the vision to cut in and be quiet."

While speaking, the half-elf showed a sighing expression on his face: "But then again... it's an amazing inside story, their understanding and research about God is really scary, in fact, half of what I hear is a little bit a bit scary. I regret listening in - that Veronica doesn't mind saying this in front of me, it seems that she really wants to cooperate with us."

Gawain glanced at this half-elf who said that he regretted listening in, but in fact had an indifferent face, and couldn't help but ask, "After knowing the truth about the secrets of God and the rebellious plan, don't you feel touched? I Remember that you claim to be a follower of the Shadow Goddess..."

"First of all, I'm not what I claim to be, I really believe it, and secondly, I'm not an ordinary believer. I'm God's choice, don't believe me, I'm really God's choice!" Amber emphasized hard, then flattened his mouth and said in a low voice. Come down, "To be honest, it must be false to say that it has not been touched. I don't believe that the goddess' kingdom of God is such a terrible place, and I also don't believe that she is really malicious to human beings... I talked to her, and she is a Very gentle god, she even taught me to cook, how could it be like that Veronica said..."

Gawain was actually stunned when he heard Amber say that the goddess taught her how to cook, and reconfirmed that this guy's identity was Hu Chui, but he remembered what he had known about this half-elf for so long. , watching this guy say these things so naturally, and seeing her expression without bragging at all, Gawain was a little suspicious again——

Could this guy be telling the truth? Or at least, she thought it was true...

But how is that possible? There is no belief in the goddess of the dark night in this world. Although this belief is quite special, believers do not have large-scale gatherings and churches, but there are at least some gods favored and high-level priests in the dark night domain. They never mentioned that the Goddess of the Night is a god who can teach people to cook... Anyway, what kind of god would do this?

"I'm a little suspicious of what you believe," Gawain said with a frown, "Then what do you think now?"

"...I want to ask the goddess and listen to her explanation," Amber's expression became serious, and he said word by word, "Next time I come into contact with high-level shadow believers, I will also look for clues from them. . In short, I can't fully believe what Veronica said until there is practical evidence."

Having said this, she quickly added: "Of course, I believe that most of what she said is true, or at least there is evidence to follow, other gods are probably as dangerous as she said - but the Shadow Goddess is certainly not !"

Looking at Amber with a confident face, Gawain finally realized one thing: this half-elf, I am afraid, really believes in the goddess of shadows - and it is not the kind that believes in just because it is free.

But this guy's usual words and deeds don't even show the slightest sign of faith.

This made Gawain fall into an endless tangle.

He had to take a deep breath to calm down his entanglement, and said in a deep voice: "I respect your beliefs, but no matter what, it is necessary for us to cooperate with the disobedient at this stage. In the long run, we will also We must be prepared for the dark future described by Veronica, and I do not wish to divide and misunderstand within us on this point."

"I understand," Amber nodded, and her ears that were a little droopy raised slightly again, "Anyway, what Veronica wants to do now is just to transfer the beliefs of mankind. The impact of this shift, and if it does get to the worst of it one day... it only proves that she is right, and I have nothing to hesitate."

Just as Gawain knew about her, this half-elf has always been conscious when it comes to issues that need to be taken seriously.

Disobedient and gods...

Gawain sighed in his heart, and the information he heard from Veronica/Ophelia today made waves in his heart again.

What kind of existence are those gods who really exist in this world? Are they guarding this world, or are they looking forward to the destruction of the latter?

Even the disobedient cannot explain the contradictory nature of the gods, their seemingly chaotic, but sometimes rational and tendentious behavior, but can only proceed from the facts and prepare for thousands of years. , prepare for the moment when the gods show their malice.

Regarding the true characteristics of the gods, Gawain actually had his own guesses:

Perhaps, those powerful beings are too beyond the understanding of mortals, and they can no longer be measured by simple "good and evil", because the concept of good and evil is just a concept created by mortals trapped in their own cognition.

The gods may be operating in some higher and more incomprehensible logic system, and their actions to protect the world or destroy it have nothing to do with good or evil, but for other reasons.

The second possibility is more spooky and disturbing:

God, could it be crazy?

In other words, will they be a kind of "creature" that periodically falls into madness - when a certain "doomsday" comes, all the gods will turn into madness uncontrollably!

The words "this is a countdown" left by the two legendary powerhouses who crossed the rift and returned half-mad actually refers to the countdown of the gods to maintain their sanity...

If this is the second possibility, then Veronica is now carefully transforming the Church of the Holy Light, and trying to block the "world bridge" without disturbing the gods is probably really meaningless: whether the gods will open the doomsday It has nothing to do with whether the disobedients alerted them at all, but only about a countdown.

A countdown that no one knows its exact scale, may come to an end at any time, and is still ticking now.

The magic tide is impermanent, destroying the sky and destroying the earth, but at least the monitoring satellites hanging high in space can give a certain degree of early warning to it, and if the countdown to maintain rationality really exists... Gawain really has no way to predict. it!

At this moment, Amber's voice came from the side, causing Gao Wen to wake up from his deep thoughts: "Old Zongzi... Your expression is a bit scary."

Gawain raised his head and temporarily suppressed the many thoughts in his heart: "No...it's nothing. Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about you, what's the matter?"

Amber hesitated for a moment, and then said the original purpose of coming here today: "I found a clue."

"Clue?" Gawain didn't react at first, but then he understood what the other party meant, "Have you found the clue of Surrey Randolph?"

"He is a royal shadow guard, and he was a royal shadow guard who had been conferred by Francis II himself and had the title of a secret nobility, so he has both a nobility title and is not in the normal roster of aristocratic genealogy." Now that he has spoken, Amber He simply said it all, "His last mission is to go to the Dark Mountains to find clues about the heritage of Gondor, and the reason why he stayed in the south and became a thief is because he defected."

Gao Wen: "..."

"Wait a minute, the amount of information is a bit large, I have to sort it out," Gao Wen rubbed his forehead and couldn't help muttering, "Why is there such a large amount of information today..."

"This is the information I found, you can sort it out while you look at it," Amber said, taking out the roster and record file she got from Dark Crow, "I've confirmed it, it's indeed my adoptive father, The names and appearances match."

Gawain took the information and read it carefully. There is not much content on it. After ignoring Surrey Randolph's early experiences, he can read the rest in a few minutes. Did you mention his identity and experience?"

"No, I always thought he was a native of the South, a crappy thief... But looking back on it today, his nose is very high and his eyes are slightly lighter. This is actually... a characteristic of northerners..."

"This country is narrow from north to south, and the ethnic differences between the north and the south are small. It's normal for you to be too young to tell the difference, and his identity as a defected shadow guard... is really not suitable for an ignorant child," Gao said. Wen quickly read the information and put them aside. "He defected on a mission to the Dark Mountains to find Gondor's legacy. This is a breakthrough... Could it be that he was looking for the Fortress of Rebellion?"

"I don't know, and I don't understand, even if what he's looking for is really a disobedient fortress, what is it worth his defection?"

"Yeah..." Gawain crossed his hands, pressed his chin, and said in a deep voice, "This is really a problem..."
