Chapter 401 Perhaps an Old Friend
"We are from Qianlin Castle...so can you introduce to us the glorious history of Paradise Sect?" Chaoyang said after considering it for a moment.
"Of course, you guys come and sit inside?" The other party made an inviting gesture.
The furnishings in the building are very simple. The first floor is basically like a small church, with many rows of seats and a podium. Behind the podium hangs a huge painting. The person in the painting is the "goddess" of lightning and thunder.
The moment she saw the painting, Elodie let out another sob.
Chaoyang noticed that the little girl receiving the reception also had a thin thread on her head, indicating that she was also a loyal follower of the Paradise Cult.
"My name is Amy," the other party asked the three of them to sit down and handed over a pamphlet. "I wonder if you have ever seen a real god?"
Chaoyang glanced at Coco Moqi subconsciously, and found that she was also looking at him...
"No." He said decisively.
"I guess so." Amy nodded, "Nearly a hundred gods have appeared in the history of the Old World, but most people can only hear about them and never see them in their lifetime, let alone receive blessings. Paradise Cult however No, it was born from the redemption of the gods and developed from the approachability of the gods... It has a short history, only fifteen years ago, but the great Lord of Paradise has never been far away from us. She is equal. She cares about every believer, and to this day, we can listen to her oracles at any time, and even have dinner with the Lord God. It is definitely an honor for us to be a part of the Paradise Cult. "
"ah?"
"until today?"
"she?"
Chaoyang, Elodie and Coco Moqi suddenly showed three completely different expressions on their faces.
Amy frowned slightly. Although she was happy to see the shocked expressions of those outsiders, she could not lose her etiquette despite being shocked, especially when discussing such a sacred and serious topic.
If it had been the God Machine Sect and the Goddess of Abundance Sect, the priests would have driven them out of the gate.
But the great Lord of Paradise is the most benevolent god who ever lived, so forgive them this little mistake.
Amy coughed twice, "What's the problem?"
"Uh, no...just keep talking."
"The origin of all this can be traced back to a war fifteen years ago..." Amy began to talk endlessly about the great "War of Independence", the fishermen army, the phlogiston company, and the people who were bewitched by the evil god. Vanrick Fisher. The general direction of the story is similar to the version they experienced, but there are some deviations in the details... For example, the Barif version of Chaoyang, who is the core commander, will naturally not appear in the story, and the Fishermen Army was transformed and became a paradise directly after the war. Teach the Guards. As for the key triggers for the conflict between the two parties - underground ruins and new energy - they were not mentioned at all.
"The war ended with the fishermen storming the company building and capturing the evil Governor Hyperman alive. Because he directly or indirectly killed nearly three thousand residents of the Acropolis, he was executed by the gods himself, and all the company's funds Then all of them were confiscated and used to build our new Acropolis. Those damn gangsters and smugglers could not escape their guilt. They either escaped or died. Facts have proved that without them to maintain order, the world would still function as usual, and even Turn better." Amy clasped her hands and said sincerely, "Thank God, it is because of her salvation and guidance that we can live such a happy life today."
The three of them looked at each other.
"So the people running this city now are..."
"Of course it's the Paradise Cult!" the little girl said loudly.
Chaoyang then asked, "Who is in charge of that sect?"
"His Excellency the Great Priest Enkui, His Excellency Portland, the Commander of the Guards, and Lady Saint Jia... are currently jointly managed by these three."
Good guys...the first two are familiar names, but the third one is a new character.
"Why do I feel that...the paradise religion run by other people is more impressive than ours?" Elodie glanced sideways at Chaoyang.
"How could it be possible? I just don't run Brilliant Castle. Isn't Thousand Limburg already a decent business?"
"How about it? You all understand it now. Do you want to consider joining the Paradise Cult and becoming a follower of our Lord?" Amy smiled, "God will protect you."
"How to join?"
"Well...you need to fill out an application and pay the admission fee of ten thrils, and you will have to pay it again every year." The other party replied smoothly, "Don't think that ten thrils is a lot. Many nobles want to join but still want to join." No. Of course... there are other ways to join the religion without paying. For example, those who have made significant contributions to the cause of Biyuan Church can be invited to join the religion..."
"Wait a minute, the cost is too high!" Chaoyang couldn't help but interrupt. The angel and the goddess of magic may have no idea about the prices of goods in the world, but he is self-made and is quite sensitive to money matters. Ten silver coins are roughly equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary person, not to mention having to pay them every year!
He will never allow Paradise Cult to become a tool for some people to make money.
"It's very high, but the followers of Paradise Church have higher incomes." Amy said disapprovingly, "The church will pay you a basic salary every month, no matter what job you are engaged in. This alone is twelve silver coins a year. Coupled with the extra salary from work, it’s no problem to afford the money!”
Elodie couldn't help but feel a little strange, "What's the point of receiving so much and then giving out more? Are there some people who only join the church but don't engage in any work?"
"That's right, especially those wealthy families, who join the church just to seek a guarantee. After all, the opportunity to meet the Lord God is rare." When talking about this group of people, the little girl showed an unhappy expression, "But I have to admit that these people have made financial contributions to the development of the sect. You shouldn't be such people, right?"
Chaoyang didn't plan to continue to go around, "I want to meet the Lord of Paradise, what should I do?"
"Eh? Lord God is not someone you can meet whenever you want. Although she appears many times, but..."
"Promise him."
Chaoyang followed the thread of wish power and directly transmitted the voice into her mind.
Amy was stunned on the spot, her mouth opened wide!
What happened just now! ? The Lord of Paradise was talking to her? Although the voice seemed to come from a far distance, hazy and sacred, it sounded like a man's voice?
"Don't speculate about God."
The voice appeared again, making Amy shudder on the spot.
Yes, she had only seen the figure of the god from afar, but had never listened to her oracle in person. Who stipulated that there must be a difference between men and women in the lord of the paradise? She is the most incredible existence in the world, and naturally cannot be measured by human common sense.
Yes, I do as you wish.
The little girl took a deep breath, put one hand on her chest and saluted Chaoyang, "Please wait here, I will help you contact."
After she left, Elodie asked in confusion, "How come there is another lord of the paradise here after fifteen years? It's understandable that those fishermen become city managers, but can gods be disguised casually?"
Chaoyang shook his head, "It may not be a disguise."
"What?"
He looked at Kokomochi who was yawning on the side, "Maybe this god is also our old friend."
