Chapter 654 A Small Commemoration

Xia Fan believes that Mage Tower will not plan riots everywhere.

Places such as Port of the Sun in the north themselves fall within the regular sphere of influence of Fata. The Star Tower Association has been working there for a long time, and it is natural to overthrow the rule of the lords. But in other places, especially in some big cities, the dragon-born nobles still retain quite strong control capabilities. If the private forces are still allowed to take the lead, it may take a long time to be effective.

He prefers that the Mage Tower will adopt a differentiation strategy and allow the nobles to continue to govern local affairs, provided that they are completely separated from the church.

As for those nobles who resolutely oppose it, they will become targets for the mages to show their power.

After all, as long as the church is eradicated, the remaining dragonborn will be nothing more than a piece of loose sand.

This is something the Church of Hera will have to deal with if they want to survive.

Five days later, the White Sands was resupplied with supplies and prepared for the voyage.

Taksis also relied on her strong recovery ability to recover from serious injuries and was basically able to walk on the ground again.

"How do you feel?" Xia Fan walked into the bedroom and saw her climbing off the bed frame under her own power and picking up the water glass on the table.

"My body is a little stiff, as if it is no longer my own." The girl took a sip of water. "But to be honest, it doesn't feel bad - I haven't had such a long break since I was promoted to presiding judge."

An ordinary Qi-sensing person would never be able to get up from such an injury without lying down for half a month. This shows that the physical strength of the Dragonborn is indeed extraordinary.

"You can rest longer if you go east with the ship."

"You know I can't leave the islands, at least not now..." Taxis' tone suddenly became much lower, "The church needs my power, and I can't leave the remaining believers alone."

"That's right." Xia Fan walked to the table and helped her fill the water glass again.

He had already guessed that the other party would do this.

From the moment he met her, he knew that this person would never bow to any difficulties or setbacks.

"Captain Sedaro came to see me yesterday." Taksis changed the subject, "He said you were going back to Qiguo?"

"Well, if the sea conditions are good tomorrow, the White Sand will set off." Xia Fan nodded, "Without divine magic, the Son of the Holy Spirit will not be born again. I have to think of other ways."

"I'm sorry." She couldn't help but look a little depressed, "You have helped the church so much, but I failed to fulfill my promise."

Not to mention the Holy Son, even those precious scrolls and magic weapons were buried in the evil barrier with the fall of the royal capital.

Xia Fan suddenly felt guilty.

In fact, the church has inventoried the losses in Hilla City these days, and found that the old palace suffered heavy casualties, and the whereabouts of most of the prisoners were unknown. Although Alec didn't say it clearly, they must have included Princess Muye.

No one suspected Xia Fan.

They would not have thought that the vampire princess now lives in the lower cabin of the White Sands.

So in a sense, the church helped Jin Xia a lot.

"Well... things in the world are unpredictable, and the culprit is the Mage Tower. You don't need to blame yourself." He cleared his throat and said.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Taksis said after being silent for a while.

"What's up?"

As long as it has nothing to do with Princess Muye.

She did not answer immediately, but took a few steps closer and stared at Xia Fan at close range.

Just as the latter's guilt continued to grow, Taxis suddenly grabbed his arm, stood up on tiptoes, and quickly put her face together with his.

Xia Fan felt his lips touch something soft.

At the same time, the girl's unique light fragrance hit her face.

This process seems to be very long, and it seems to pass by in a flash. When he came back to his senses, Taxis had already retreated to her original position, with a hint of blush on her cheeks, but there was no hint of shyness or escape in her eyes.

She seemed to have planned to do this for a long time.

"I've checked and Easterners don't reject this - you can even marry thirty or forty women and build a palace to house them."

No...what kind of Eastern information are you looking for? Xia Fan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

"But not in the Holy Wing Islands. We here require everyone to marry one. But in addition, you can have multiple intimate partnerships - both men and women can, so I think the regulations here are more fair and free." She thought to herself and said, "In short, this is my personal opinion. You don't need to take it too seriously. Of course, you can't not take it too seriously! Furthermore, you should feel honored, because this is the first time for me." !”

"I--"

As soon as Xia Fan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Taksis, "If the church fails to win the subsequent battle, I will probably cease to exist. I hope you can still remember me by then."

He suddenly realized that this matter was probably not a whim of the other party. "What do you mean? Did Sedaro tell you anything else?"

Taxis walked to the porthole of the poop and looked at the harbor city illuminated by the sun. The silence lasted longer this time. It seemed as if a quarter of an hour had passed before she said softly, "Yesterday, the other two red priests who were out on a mission also arrived at Azure Castle. After discussion, the four of them decided to elect me to be the new leader of the church. One person in charge.”

Xia Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He knew that with Taksis's character she would never refuse.

When she decided to speak out about this, she probably had already accepted this burden.

——Yes, for a very young dragonborn, the pressure brought by this identity is far greater than the honor.

The reason why the church chose Takhisis is also very simple - she is the only one who dares to ask all believers in the temple to make a break with the gods. Now that the gods have fallen, although others have more experience and are older, they are probably not as good as Takhisis Yongyi in shouldering the task of moving forward with the "Hera Church without the Sun God".

If the organization wants to survive, the church must find a new core figure as soon as possible.

"Not the Pope?" Xia Fan noticed this detail.

"The Pope is a person blessed by the gods. Now that the gods are gone, it would be unfair for the red priests to nominate the Pope." Taksis smiled bitterly, "This is probably what the Mage Tower expected - once the gods are destroyed, not only will the church's hundreds of years of foundation be uprooted, but it will also prevent us from reviving the organization. Can a church without a pope still be considered the same church as before?"

This is an unavoidable fact.

Before Hera appeared, there was no problem with the church's top leaders selecting the pope. But after Hera appeared, this divinely-appointed approach seemed more convincing, but in fact it forced itself into a dead end from which it could not turn back.
