Chapter 1133 A Proposal with Twists and Turns
The Dodd Group, which appeared after the fog disaster, suddenly emerged in the northern part of the Mozambique continent. In just 20 years, it has become the leading industrial giant in the entire Mozambique continent. Its influence not only covers the entire northern coastline, but even Even the large and small countries in the central and southern regions will be more or less affected by it from politics to military affairs to people's livelihood.
This is also the result of the joint efforts of political and business forces in various countries to restrict the Dodd Group. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no external restriction, the Dodd Group will not only completely control the New Porto area, but control the entire northern part of the Mozambique continent.
Some people analyze that the reason why Dodd Group can maintain its stable and rapid development in this era of monsters rampant and social unrest is that the main reason is that the Dodd Group is far beyond the industrial level of the times and can produce all kinds of strange ideas Fantastic idea, but extremely energy-efficient machinery, and only Dodd Group can produce this kind of machinery. Even if other colleagues buy the machinery they produce, disassemble and assemble it, they will completely reproduce the same machinery.
But this kind of analysis is only half right for those who really understand the higher level of the Dodd Group. There is only one reason for rising and standing still, and that is the group of witches standing behind the Dodd group.
This is also the main reason why countries in Mozambique mainland will try their best to curb the development of Dodd Group in their own countries even though they are in urgent need of various mechanical devices and industrial supplies produced by Dodd Group.
As monsters become the main body of this world, and the gods return to save the world, those underground worlds that were hidden in the shadow of the normal world in the past also surfaced, gradually standing in the light, even those underground cults that were hit by the Orthodox Church in the past He also preached semi-openly in some remote towns by taking advantage of the uneasy state of the people.
In this regard, in the past, the Orthodox church would absolutely send people to completely eradicate these underground churches of evil gods without mercy, but now the various churches in the Orthodox church cannot spare any manpower, and those important cities controlled by each church need to station a large number of gods with power Only the clergy with magic skills can barely maintain the normal life and development of the city under the constant attacks of surrounding monsters. They can no longer deploy additional church armed forces to support other fringe areas. They can only watch these cultists wandering around under their noses.
In addition to the need to maintain the security and stability of the city, another important reason why the Orthodox Church was unable to recruit manpower was the large and small underground forces that took advantage of this chaotic world to come to the surface.
The reason why these large and small underground forces have been hidden in the shadow of normal society in the past is not because they pretend to be mysterious. They want to be like this, it is entirely because of the suppression of the Orthodox Church, which prevents them from standing in the open world. On the surface, this also makes the relationship between these large and small underground forces and the Orthodox Church definitely not good.
In the past, in order to avoid pushing these underground forces too hard and doing crazy things, the Orthodox Church would always focus on appeasement after suppressing those underground forces to a certain extent. Some cooperation has left these underground forces in a half-dead state where they will neither perish nor develop.
However, now these underground forces are beginning to stand on the bright side and expand their influence through the power they control. Naturally, this will not make the Orthodox Church happy. Therefore, after maintaining the stability of the city, the main force of the Orthodox Church The enemies are not those churches of evil gods who only dare to develop in marginal towns, but those underground forces that openly set up strongholds in the areas they control and develop members.
Among these underground forces that are concerned by the Church, several forces have especially received the attention of the Orthodox Church, and even the danger level of these forces has been raised above the Church of the Evil God, such as the Wizards' Gathering House, such as the one established after breaking away from the medical school. Life Society and so on, and the underground force that the church regards as the number one threat is the Witch Squad, because the Witch Squad is the only one among all the underground forces that has demigods, and judging from all signs, the Witch Squad's There may even be more than one demigod.
The Orthodox Church’s suppression of the Witch Group is a well-known fact in the entire Vinylon civilization. Even ordinary farmers have heard stories about hunting witches. The suppression can be said to be the strongest. This suppression has lasted for thousands of years. It was not until the last few hundred years with the development of the steam industry and scientific cognition that the influence of the church weakened. This suppression gradually weakened and disappeared, even The church sometimes cooperates with members of the witch troupe, inviting its members to join some special departments of the Orthodox Church and so on.
But all of this is based on the fact that the witch group is weak enough to be controlled by the church, and when the power of the witch group increases, the original partners will immediately become enemies.
Now there are two forces on the surface of the Witch Group. One is the Queen of the Ice and Snow Kingdom in the north of the Minsk Continent, and the other is the King Chosen who secretly controls the political and business circles of the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Savile.
According to the intelligence analysis collected by the Orthodox Church, the Queen of the Northern Ice and Snow Kingdom is already a true demigod, and has established her own church. If there is no big difference, she will definitely become a true god in the future.
As for the king who doesn't know how old she is, although she is not a demigod, her strength should not be much worse than that of a demigod, and it is said that she also controls the legendary Aishali Forest, so the overall strength is a little bit Not much worse than the demigod in the north.
However, those two witch forces who have stood on the bright side are not the most feared by the Orthodox Church, because although the two witch forces are powerful, their influence is only on the Minsk continent, and they are on the mountains of that continent. The Church of the King of Qiu and the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death are both very powerful Churches of the True God. With the strength of the True God, even if the power of the two witch groups expands in the Minsk Continent, it is impossible to completely control the entire Minsk Continent.
The witch force that really makes the Orthodox Church fearful is actually the witch force behind the Dodd Group, the first witch group led by Sylvia, because as the influence of the Dodd Group expands, the influence of the first witch group also Rapidly expanding, the two continents of Vinylon Continent and Mosang Continent are within the scope of its influence, and it can be said to be the most influential underground force that deserves it.
In fact, before the establishment of the First Witch Squad, the Orthodox Tribunal thought about taking action against Sylvia directly in order to curb the development of the Dodd Group, because they had expected that with the development of the Dodd Group, they would gather in Sylvia. To what extent will the underground forces around Asia develop.
However, facing this proposal, not only there are voices of opposition within the Orthodox Church, but even the various churches of the Orthodox Church have huge disputes over this proposal.
Sylvia had served as an adjudicator in the Orthodox Church for a period of time, and established some good relationships within the Orthodox Church. Although these relationships were not able to have much influence on proposals from high-level officials, they were able to Some noise was created inside the Orthodox Church, disrupting the situation.
As the pillar church of the Orthodox Church, the Church of the Sky will continue to dispute this proposal, mainly because Sylvia is the goddaughter of Mother Hannah, the founder of the Redemption Sect of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and she was also appointed by Mother Hannah. The only heir to the inheritance, although this heir has no rights within the Redemption Sect, his status is extraordinary.
Although the influence of the Redemptionists within the Church of the Lord of the Sky at that time was far from what it is now, it had already formed a certain scale and was able to influence the decisions of the church's top leaders.
In addition, the four major churches, including the King of the Hill, the Lord of the Birth and Death, the Lady of the Lake, and the Sea God, also had very ambiguous attitudes towards this proposal. They neither expressed approval nor objection, as if implying that the proposer wanted to deal with Hill. Via will deal with it by himself, don't drag us.
The real reason why this proposal was not implemented was not the attitude of these churches, but after the garden that Sylvia built for herself was completed, the legendary White Deer of the Black Forest appeared in the garden, and the guests invited at that time watched Next, strolled and played in the garden, and then disappeared, and Sylvia's garden was also called the Aishali Garden because of this incident.
The Orthodox Court did not suspect that Sylvia was cheating on this matter, because the guests invited at that time also included high-level officials from the Church of the Lord of the Sky, the Church of the Lady in the Lake, and the Church of the Sea God. The truth of the matter.
Although in terms of power alone, the legendary White Deer of the Black Forest is only equivalent to the swamp gods believed by the Hanossa Alliance, but the Black Forest where the White Deer lives is a completely different existence. The forbidden land that is awe-inspiring, no god will ignore the existence of the Black Forest.
Because of this, even though Bailu never expressed his attitude from the beginning to the end, and did not even bless Aishali Garden, his behavior of appearing in the garden and playing in the garden is already the best expression.
In such a situation of internal disputes and external force majeure, the proposal against Sylvia was temporarily shelved, and the containment of the Dodd Group could only be done secretly, not on the surface.
However, the proposal that had been shelved in the past two years has been brought up again, and the possibility of implementation has been rediscussed.
The reason for such a change is that those church leaders who were close to Sylvia at the beginning also felt the pressure due to the rapid development of the Dodd Group, and they were extremely disgusted with the decision of the Dodd Group to build public colleges and support taboo research. The Dodd Group should not be allowed to develop like this.
Another unexpected event was also the main reason why the Orthodox Church decided to re-implement the shelved proposal. One day two years ago, the white deer suddenly appeared outside the hunter headquarters established by the Dodd Group in the capital of the old United Kingdom, destroying the hunter headquarters, killing A team of hunters supported by the Dodd Group was formed.
After the investigation, it was found that this hunter team violated the Dodd Group's ban, entered the Black Forest, and killed a herd of deer, which seemed to be descendants of the White Deer.
In the eyes of others, this incident undoubtedly shows that the Black Forest has stood on the opposite side of the Dodd Group, and Sylvia naturally lost the biggest support.
Different from the last time, when the proposal was brought up again this time, it passed the discussion very quickly and entered the stage of formal implementation.
During the implementation, the materials collected by various churches about the Dodd Group, the First Witch Group, and Sylvia were all gathered together, and when studying these materials and considering how to deal with Sylvia, Lei Ou Dodd inevitably repeated in the eyes of everyone.
Leo Dodd's life information is not difficult to collect, and most of the information can't be seen to be special. For example, Leo Dodd is the son of a blacksmith. He joined the army in his early years and was in the war He was injured, and later received awards from the royal family of England for certain achievements, purchased some properties in the Kingdom of England, etc. On the whole, it looks like a real case of successfully changing his destiny through his own struggle.
But if you carefully study these materials line by line, you will find a lot of food for thought. For example, when Leo Dodd was still an ordinary person, he crossed the Black Forest with his two comrades in arms. He also helped the royal family The person who retrieved the Sea God Scepter.
In addition, Leo Dodd is also the last student of Rembrandt, who was canonized by various churches, and the only survivor of the famous No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but there is a five-year gap in it, and the latest news also shows that Leo Dodd has been to the Aishali Forest and stayed in the Black Forest for a long time.
The information revealed from various subtleties is enough to make anyone with a little brain feel that Leo Dodd is definitely not as ordinary as he appears on the surface.
However, the biggest surprise came from the Church of Lady in the Lake. When the senior clergymen of the church looked through the church's holy seal book, they found that Leo Dodd's name was also in it, and the position was very high, almost reaching the level of the Lord. The level of the priest, that is to say, Leo Dodd is at least a goddess of the lady in the lake.
After this incident was discovered, it directly led to the lady in the lake withdrawing from the action against Sylvia. Although Leo and Sylvia were not officially married, and Leo had been missing for more than 20 years, but The two already have descendants. In the teachings of the lady in the lake, this can be regarded as a proof of husband and wife, so the church of the lady in the lake will never do anything to the family members of a divinely favored person, and even when necessary, Also protecting Sylvia and Toland Dodd.
Afterwards, the Sea God Church also withdrew from this operation, because the Sea God Church discovered that before Leo disappeared, he participated in the Sea God Sacrifice at Castle Black more than 20 years ago, and that he was able to find the Sea God Scepter that had been missing for many years, which also represented him and Leo. Poseidon has an inexplicable connection.
This made people in the Sea God Church speculate that Leo might be in the Sea God's Holy Land now. No one can be sure whether Leo will also become the Sea God's favored person after he reappears, so just to be on the safe side, the Sea God Church has also withdrawn from targeting Actions by Sylvia and the Dodd Group.
The person has not yet officially appeared, but the information collected has already changed the minds of the two churches, which makes the rest of the people pay special attention to the information about Leo Dodd.
