Chapter 291 Transaction with the Godfather

Russell thought for a moment and decided to tell Paradise Bird immediately what the church was doing.

Including the nature of angels being able to be "juiced", as well as the sales situation of "Source of Holy Order" in the dream world... If the situation changes, it may be too late to wait for the right time.

"...How could this be possible!"

After hearing Russell's explanation, Paradise Bird's eyes suddenly widened and she was almost furious, and her voice became sharp because of this: "What right do they have to betray angels?!

"Without the angels, the church would have ceased to exist!

"These angels have long been able to control the entire church. They chose to trust the church and the pope, so they voluntarily were frozen and sealed. But now..."

For Paradise Birds, this is almost a collapse of the worldview.

Although under the influence of her father, she did not have much trust in the church - but she had far more sympathy for angels than ordinary church personnel.

Her anger was not based on disappointment with the church, but on empathy and indignation toward the angels.

After all, this child's heart is too pure.

Although he was born in Xiacheng District, he was not polluted by Xiacheng District at all. The bird of paradise still carries goodwill and trust in others...

This kind of character can indeed make her from a poor background recognized by the church, but it also makes it easier for her to be taken advantage of.

Russell was not worried that she would also be arrested...

As a living saint who does not use a halo and can obtain the power of angel-level Holy Orders just by relying on her pure will, her value is obviously much higher than that of ordinary angels.

After all, the Birds of Paradise belong to the "angel template that has not yet appeared."

After she has grown up, she will be able to copy many brand-new angels using her memory alone. Even if the church leaders only regard angels as tools, the Paradise Bird will at least have assembly line-level value. From the wisdom of the elves at the top of the church, they should be able to tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

What he is worried about is that the Paradise Bird, who is completely unaware of the inside story, will be used as a gun.

The church is not monolithic either.

Although based on the way the power of holy orders is obtained, the nature of the church must be good...

But the birth of “angels” itself was a loophole taken advantage of by the church. Although it was to defeat the mage, if the church was truly pure and innocent, angels would never have been born from the very beginning.

The so-called mechanical angels are false artificial saints.

By modifying the memories of others and adjusting the will of others to deceive the world... and obtain the power of the Holy Order that is otherwise unavailable or not as strong as it is in a fraudulent way. For this reason, they even did not hesitate to use the remains and relics left by the dead saints, analyze their memories, and copy their subconscious to build a system of "divine descending devices".

Since they can do such a thing, it means that the church is by no means pure and flawless——

As early as that time, they had already proved... As long as it was for victory, they could do it without hesitation, even if it was desecrating the bones of generations of saints and rewriting the spirits and memories of innocent people.

And these created angels themselves are naturally innocent and sacred. Regardless of whether their consciousness is false or implanted, since the power of the Holy Order they can use is much stronger than that of the bishops of the church, it means that the "god" of the church recognizes them better than those mortal bishops.

But after the war, the angels did not hold power at all, but were collectively sealed away.

“From that moment on, I knew...that the church might be better than a company, but it wouldn’t be much better.

"Isn't it hard to understand that the church now sells these 'artificial saints' for other benefits? Fundamentally speaking, what they did in the past and now is actually the same thing - "

Russell sighed: "When you went to visit, you should have someone accompanying you, right?"

"Yes... there are four or five of them."

"You didn't meet anyone else on the road, right?"

"……Yes."

"This means that the church headquarters must have known that you were coming. How could they have such a coincidence that just at the moment you went out, you saw that the room opposite was empty?"

Russell patted Paradise Bird on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, you are just being used.

"Because your own value is too high... you won't get into trouble easily. And naturally there are struggles within the church. One of the factions wants to use you to cause trouble for the other faction. This is normal.

"I think that these acts of selling angels should be carried out by one of the groups. This is a very simple reason... If the church leaders unanimously pass this resolution, then the production of angels and the sale should be able to form a complete assembly line, then it will not A shortfall may occur.

"But other forces within the church are obviously not happy to see the resurrection of angels. So although they do not support it, they do not directly oppose it in substance, but regard it as a handle.

"And you use this handle to leverage their fulcrum."

"why is it like this……"

The bird of paradise could only murmur and repeat this sentence.

Although he planned to tell Russell some secrets, he didn't expect to be shocked by Russell.

"I have also considered whether to tell you this kind of thing. You are a good boy, not good at acting... Once you know too much, you will easily reveal flaws in your words and deeds. It is difficult to hide it from those old turtles. .

"But the same thing...if you know too little and are easy to be taken advantage of, you will do something you don't want to do. It's the lesser of two powers, so I decided to tell you all this."

Russell put his arm around Paradise Bird's shoulders and whispered in her ear: "Let's take a walk afterward... Wait until you feel calmer before going back. At this stage, it's best not to let Wu Ming and the others know too much... ...After all, as far as I know, the church holds the control terminal that exerts influence on each halo. Once the angels make any obvious act of betrayal, it is easy for the church to be vigilant and then disarm all the angels.

"By the way, what did you want to say to me before? What's the second thing?"

"...Wait a minute, let me think carefully, Mr. Barber. My mind is a little confused..."

The Paradise Bird murmured with his eyes closed.

She paused for a while before explaining in a low voice: "I feel that I may not have fully understood this before... After you told me this secret, I seem to understand a little bit more...

"The news I originally wanted to tell you is that the church already knows that you are a mage. They plan to continue to send angels to the Special Execution Department to put pressure on you. On the other hand... they also hope that I can contact you. The remaining forces in the city conveyed the church's wishes to 'reach some kind of deal with the Godfather'.

"I originally thought this was a trap. Because I don't think the church can reach any real 'deal' with the mage. It just wants to trick you out and kill you. Because they know that I was born in Xiacheng District, and I am from Xiacheng District. I have been in contact with and even fought against some of the organizations. They are just using me to convey false goodwill to you.

"But now...I can't tell the difference..."

The Paradise Bird finally couldn't stand it any longer, turned around and lay in Russell's arms, whimpering in a low voice and letting out a vague cry: "I don't know, what should I do... What on earth are they going to do... What is the thing I was pursuing before? What……"

Russell sighed softly, rocked his body back and forth like coaxing a child, and gently patted the paradise bird on the back.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

deal……

That's fine.

"Then I'll take their deal."

When I woke up today, I just frowned but my mind was occupied. I was eating melons furiously and following the latest news. I was so happy that I was delayed in typing (tremor)

But I heard that he was transferred to ICU, which made Maomao very worried. After all, the atmosphere has been set up here, will it be too troublesome for everyone to come back to life... I still hope that Anlehou can read the atmosphere and not make it difficult for everyone.
