Chapter 669: The Dark Side

Although it is not very clear, but because he was born in Arabella and is sensitive to thoughts and beliefs, he pays attention to the number of believers.

Then, he discovered an inexplicable pattern——

The greater the number of believers in a church in a certain period, the stronger the Extraordinary power of this church.

Others tend to think the other way around, with "Extraordinary beings powerful", so they occupy more territory and develop more believers.

But Gore felt that causality seemed to be reversed.

Although it is just a suspicion, he is also the bishop who has developed the most secret believers in Cartesia.

He wanted to experiment, he wanted to try.

He is much better than those brainless Catesian nobles.

In the ideological struggle, the nobles who did not have much experience in ideological struggle, although some smart people realized the problem, but many of them, like those commoners, were successfully diverted and fell into the artificially created "difference" ", turning the target of the battle to other nobles or other churches that should have been on the same front.

And those smart nobles who are aware of the problem, perhaps because of the group of idiots in the same camp, know that they will eventually fail and give up and choose to preserve their interests, or for their own interests, they have some conflicts with Arabella and steam The Church has colluded together, even if there is no cooperation on the surface, but in fact it has not resisted the Church of Steam, which has given the Church of Steam a great advantage.

Through industry and those merchants, the Church of Steam quickly suppressed the temple in the mist, which had a weak sense of existence, in terms of life and thought, and once developed a huge power comparable to or even suppressed the royal family in the Eastern Continent.

In the west, the Arabella Federation, which is ruled by various businessmen, has also shown an unimaginable aggression ability, using the development of the machinery industry as a means of infiltration, even the Bassatona Empire has been infiltrated in some places, not to mention that it is already weak Catesia?

The Westland was eroded by the Church of Steam, and the Temple of the Mist, which had retreated to the Westland, could not resist, forming a bilateral situation between the Church of Steam and the Temple of the Mist.

Moreover, under the infiltration of industry and money from the Church of Steam, the royal family and the aristocratic faction were quickly disintegrated, and many such situations also appeared in the Eastern Continent.

Now, the situation in Cartesia is a situation where the Church of Steam, the Temple of the Mist, the Church of the Rose, and the Royal Faction stand on top of each other.

In this case, Eternal Night Church has a chance to get involved.

And the same goes for the Brotherhood of the Lantern.

Although they have not been able to obtain the title of "orthodox sect" like the Church of Eternal Night, Gore feels that this day will not be too far away.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the temple in the mist, which has been shrinking in power in recent decades, has moved again.

Rebellion before death? Or really got a chance at recovery?

The teachings of the Lantern Brotherhood can be roughly summarized as - everything has its dark side, everyone has a hidden heart, and the father of insight will tolerate their darkness and help them control these darkness that may get out of control

The father of insight, even if he became a bishop, could not determine the identity of this "true god".

Perhaps because of his background in Arabella, his beliefs are not pious, and he has many doubts about the hidden existence of this true god who is regarded as the true god by members of the Lantern Brotherhood.

He has also heard the saying that "the father of insight is the dark side of the god in the fog", but this kind of saying, after his investigation, is actually an early attempt by the church's high-level officials for the sake of orthodoxy and to be able to stand on the bright side. advertised.

Therefore, he himself has strong doubts about this statement.

Especially after knowing that the Brotherhood had snatched some believers from the Temple of the Fog through this method, he even wondered if this statement was used by the church as a means of war of faith—in order to snatch believers from the Temple of the Fog, and even replace the fog The status of the temple.

Just like the Church of Eternal Night.

Shaking his head, his attention returned to this action.

This time, their goal is to wipe out the temples in the mist in these areas, establish brotherhood strongholds in these areas, and secretly develop believers.

This time's action, the purpose of developing believers, also coincided with his guess.

Perhaps, before he was promoted to archbishop, he was able to know the deep secrets about the major churches.

Belief.

This idea, dismissed by many Arabellas but essentially existing in another form, may be the key.

Thinking of this, he looked at several of his subordinates:

"Buck, you and Grady take people to that Archibald town to see the situation."

Hearing this, the man in black robe called Buck was taken aback.

He is not an ordinary priest, but a mid-sequence Beyonder who has become a priest. In normal operations, a mid-sequence Beyonder like a priest is sent to some small cities. Even larger cities only need a few a priest.

And a small town, even those orthodox churches, usually has only one or a few Sequence 8 Beyonders stationed there, even if it is higher, it is only a Sequence 7 Beyonder.

This is still a rare situation. In the place of Cartesia, in an ordinary city, a church only has two or three Sequence 7 Beyonders. These hidden deacons are the most powerful church in a city, and only important counties Only a priest can be stationed there.

He, Buck, was a fraternal priest, and so was Grady, two priests sent to a small town?

Although the brotherhood has been suppressed by many churches due to the development of power, the principle of action of the brotherhood has always been cautious, and the situation of sending out three to four times the combat power of the target is the benchmark, mainly to protect itself, but now, the order of the bishop

It's like the habit of those night watchmen in the Eternal Night Church.

"Do you have any comments?"

Gore glanced at him flatly.

The ones sent to Archibald Town were six Sequence 8 "Assassins", this was sent when they knew about the garrison forces of the Temple in the Fog in Archibald Town——

A few Sequence 9 Beyonders plus an unknown knight, relying on some powerful mysterious objects, it is not completely impossible to hold back the six assassins or even seriously injure them.

But Gore made a conservative estimate. He took "Total Destroyer" as the premise. There may be one or two "observers" of Sequence 7 and some powerful mysterious objects.

If it wasn't for the movement from the Eternal Night Church, he had to stay. In this "unexpected" situation, he would even go out to see it himself.

To send only two hidden priests and two mid-sequence Extraordinary, it was already the bottom line for him.

And Gore's sight also gave Buck a chill.

Although he has been promoted to the Middle Sequence and has become a "villain", every hidden bishop of the Brotherhood, except for that Chetalos who made an exception as a bishop in Sequence 6, everyone else is Extraordinary of Sequence 5.

There are few soft-hearted people in a fraternity where the dark side of human nature is unleashed.

Buck had no doubt that the bishop he was loyal to would send him to death because of his words and deeds.

Very "reasonably" in a well-prepared "script" to die with "the best use of everything" and die with the greatest value.

"Scriptwriter", since he was promoted to "villain", he has become more and more deeply aware of the horror of the next sequence.

"Yes." Buck responded in a deep voice, and carried out the order without any hesitation.
