"The situation turned out to be like this. It's no wonder the church didn't find this batch of materials. They put all their attention on the people with higher professional levels, and they really ignored those extraordinary people with average levels." After Lawrence's report and checking the pile of trophies that Lawrence handed him tonight, High Priest Arthur shook his head and sighed.

"My teacher's grandson died in a terrorist attack organized by the remnants of Scarlet Sky, and the teacher himself died in the final battle of encirclement and suppression. I remember very clearly that he was at the last moment before leaving for the kingdom of God. He kept holding my hand and asked me,'Little Arthur, have we completely wiped out those villains?'"

　　 "But—but I couldn't say anything at the time." Arthur, with gray beard, sobbed like a child when he said that, his face and shoulders trembling. "Now, I can finally tell him when I myself was called by the Lord that we did it. We really wiped out the evil group completely."

　　 Lawrence understands the current mentality of High Priest Arthur very well. After all, the reason why Scarlet Sky has been chased by so many churches is directly related to their love to die. And now that this batch of materials is found, it can be said that the existence of the evil organization has ended in a certain sense, so people who were related to the victims will naturally feel relieved.

　　 As for the fact that priests have grandsons, it is very common. Lawrence's adoptive father was unmarried when his lover died early when he was young. This does not mean that the priests of the Church of Knowledge cannot get married.

　　 Or to be more precise, all but a few of the churches allow clergy to marry. Even churches like the Church of the Mother Earth or the Church of Agriculture will stipulate that only married and child clergymen can obtain the high priesthood.

　　 After all, in this extraordinary world where gods and spirits descend miracles from time to time. The churches don’t have to worry that clergymen will engage in nepotism in the church after they have descendants. The gods also found that after having a happy family, the faith offered by believers is indeed not as good as those in suffering, but it is much better in quality, and better overall.

　　 "So I really want to thank you this time. If these things are allowed to spread, I don't know how many people will suffer in the future." High Priest Arthur said after adjusting his mood. "By the way, if you can find the tail hoop, you can take it back. After all, I'm not familiar with the rat man. I can send this sword to the Demon Hunting Association in your name. I will give your reward as soon as possible. ——"

　　 Just as High Priest Arthur started nagging to arrange various matters, the door of the Faith Department suddenly opened. An elderly man in a blue robe with a long beard embroidered on his shoulders walked in. It seemed that he got up from the bed and hurried over after he got the news, because Lawrence found that he was wearing a purple pajamas under his priest's robe.

　　 "Your Excellency Julius, why are you here? I obviously just notified Brother Russell." Listening to the words of High Priest Arthur, Lawrence suddenly realized that the old man in front of him was the High Priest of the Northeast Diocese of the Church of Knowledge.

　　 Unlike some churches, the style and texture of the dresses of the clergy of the Knowledge Church are similar whether it is the lowest-level apprentice priest or this kind of scepter priest. It's just the different sizes and areas of silver patterns on the shoulders of the costumes to distinguish everyone's identities. Embroidered on the shoulder of the old man in front of him is a pattern of a palm-sized scroll and a feather pen.

"Brother Russell woke me up immediately after receiving your report, because this matter is so important to us." The priest Julius Scepter smiled and said, and then he took the hand. Ring checked and raised his head. "I think we should hold a sacrificial ceremony overnight tonight, my lord will offer these things, so as to avoid any problems when the time is too long."

　　 At this point, he turned to Lawrence: "You are Lawrence, you are doing a good job. You can also participate in the sacrificial ceremony later, I believe this time my lord will give you the reward you deserve."

　　 Lawrence suddenly widened his eyes. In his impression, the Church of Knowledge does everything by making plans and then acting. It is rare to be so reckless. Not to mention the words of the current priest of Julius Scepter, this sacrifice is likely to be blessed by the gods.

　　Because the ordinary sacrifice rituals of the various churches do not attract the attention of the gods, it is for efficiency and various other reasons. Ordinary sacrifices only require the clergy to put everything on the altar and sacrifice together, without the participation of non-clergy. Only when the sacrifices can attract the eyes of the gods, the church will let the sacrificers participate in the sacrifice ceremony in order to obtain the blessings of the gods.

　　 Lawrence felt a little excited, because this was the first time he had come into contact with the top extraordinary power in this world: the power belonging to the gods.

　　 spent some time sorting out the clothes, and then everyone walked to the sacrifice hall behind the chapel. Because the Church of Knowledge believes that what sacrifice means communication between the sacrificer and the gods does not need to be made public. So unlike most churches, their sacrifices and worship are not in the same hall.

　　 Lawrence had never been here before, so when he walked into the Sacrifice Hall, he looked at everything in this room with curious eyes.

　　The Church of Knowledge does not admire luxury, so even the main church of the Northeast Diocese of the Federation here has the same decoration as other parts of the church without any luxurious decoration. But this did not harm the solemn atmosphere of this hall.

　　 The hall is surrounded by relief sculptures. If you look clockwise from the entrance, you can see that the sculpture is a whole history of human development. From the beginning of humans using the first tool, igniting the first flame, manipulating the first ray of magical energy, and finally the image of the steam engine differential engine appeared. After the final image, there is a large blank space on the wall, which means that the pursuit of knowledge will not stop.

　　 The pillars of the hall are carved with a man named the Church of Knowledge who has contributed, and there are some very famous saints among them. In the center of the hall is a square altar made of a large block of blue marble~lightnovelpub.net~, and on the high platform is a five or six meters high statue of a **** carved from multicolor marble.

　　 This is the image of Ogma, the **** of knowledge. He is the image of a handsome middle-aged man wearing a blue robe. On his head is a silver crown inlaid with large sapphires. Among them, the most vividly carved is the face of the statue. Anyone who sees this statue will be attracted by the wise eyes of the gods.

After 　　 walked to the designated position under the altar, Lawrence suddenly felt that the faint aura from the statue in front of him was very similar to the aura on the priest with the scepter of Julius. After thinking about it briefly, he immediately remembered that he had read a copy of Gu mentioned this kind of phenomenon in the library before.

　　As a clergyman, the level of promotion is also a process of getting closer to the gods they believe in. When they broke through the gold level to become priests of the sanctuary, these changes could even be seen by ordinary people. Everyone who sees them has a feeling: Yes, they are the incarnation of gods on earth.

After everyone entered the sacrificial hall, the heavy bronze door of the hall was closed, and then the priest Julius Scepter held the space bracelet in both hands and placed it on the altar at the height of his chest, and then respectfully placed the ring on the altar. Jing was placed on the altar carved from a block of blue marble in front of the statue.

"Okay, now the ceremony begins. Please join me in welcoming the arrival of the gods." After lighting a few **** of spices and a few candles on the altar, the priest Julius scepter held his hands together in front of his lower abdomen. Then he bowed his head deeply and recited the eulogy.

　　At the same time, the other people in this hall, including Lawrence, all made the same movements in their positions, chanting in unison the praise of the **** of knowledge.
