That night, there was a flurry of hoops on the construction site outside Bethlehem.

The Holy Religious Army stationed in the city all dispatched, arrested and detained all the workers from Idar, so that the poor little gangsters were once again thrown into a familiar prison.

Although Camus Blanchard would not react excessively to the Idar Principality in a short time, this did not prevent him from torturing the information he wanted to know from the mouths of these Idars.

But what the red archbishop didn't know was... for the Idars in front of them, going to jail was like going home.

After all, before coming to the holy city of Bethlehem, this group of gangsters spent a long time in the prison of Idar.

During that time, they deeply realized what is true faith and what is true piety, and they prayed to devote their entire lives to the Church of Light.

So in a sense, these gangsters are truly devout believers.

At this time, when the gangsters were put in prison again, it stimulated the somewhat decayed memory in their minds, and played a strengthening effect.

Besides, everyone in the underground jail in the holy city of Bethlehem is full of talents, and they speak nicely. It feels good if everyone gathers together to chat.

only……

After all, the purpose of this prison is to get useful information from their mouths, so...the one who should come will always come.

The investigation of Idar’s collar is a task personally arranged by the cardinal bishop, and the old gods and sticks of the religious inquisition are personally responsible.

The true purpose of the Idars is not yet known. Mike entered the core authority of the Religious Tribunal before then. How could such a thing happen now, how could he not be taken seriously?

And Dolby was the first "lucky guy" to be picked out by the old gods.

It’s a purpose for these Idars to chat and fart from prison these days. When the old gods saw that the two hundred catties of Idar’s Hercules were respectful to Dolby, they instantly realized , This guy named Dolby may be the core figure among this group of Idars.

As long as Dolby makes a confession, the rest of the kids will be easy to deal with.

Therefore, the old **** sticks have used their usual routines, no matter what's going on, it's okay to come up and beat them up first!

The old gods and sticks in the Religious Tribunal are a group of old bachelors. Coupled with the inmates in prison all day long, as time goes by, the belief in the God of Light has become weaker and weaker.

In addition to beating and scolding, their daily work is hacking people, and they fall asleep listening to the screams of prisoners in the night, so their mentality is more or less distorted.

So, finally had a chance to vent. These old gods and sticks lined up one by one, holding their sticks with hideous faces, ravaged Dolby's body madly, and vented the anger in their hearts.

You know, because of Mike's identity, the entire religious court has been reprimanded by the cardinal.

And since Mike has gone far away, the anger in their hearts can only be vented on these Idars in Bethlehem.

"Ahhh—"

Dolby let out a stern cry.

When Idar led, although there were people who would spank them, the executioner would have mastered his strength so that they felt pain and were able to work normally the next day.

But this group of old gods and sticks who suffered a thousand swords, obviously did not make the attack light or heavy, causing Dolby to faint several times.

only……

The heavier the fight, the clearer the situation Shabi once described to them in the dungeon.

According to Shabi at the time,

As a sinner, I should reduce my crimes through labor.

But,

Why did he get a stick while working hard?

Of course Dolby didn’t know the reason behind this, and he didn’t even know that Mike had already gone so far.

so,

While suffering from the stick, he had to make up for the possibility on his own, until the old gods asked a question-what is the Idalling?

Almost the moment the question was asked, Dolby understood it!

Yes, labor can alleviate one's sins, but the penalty can also be atonement!

Therefore, Dolby sorted out a clear idea.

The reason why these old gods beat themselves is because their sins are too serious, and they can only use this kind of artificial "help" to redeem their sins as soon as possible.

And to ask yourself the status of Idar is to test whether you are pious, whether you are committed to the **** of light!

When he thought about this, his sincere words immediately blurted out: "The people of Idar have a heart toward the **** of light. Among them, Lord Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, is the most pious. Although the people of Idar are suffering, they will serve the gods as First-class event!"

Dolby didn't know that Bruno Stuart had been promoted to Duke, and when he came to Bethlehem to build the colossus, Bruno had just set off a wave of reforms that swept the entire Idarland.

therefore……

No matter what the old gods asked, the Idar collar that Dolby saw was really the poor and backward Idar collar!

Of course, apart from the people living in Idar, no one would believe that an aristocratic leader located on the border of the empire could grow into a leader that can compete head-on with the Odin Empire in just over a year. giant.

So from the beginning, the interrogation of these Idars was doomed to be futile.

So that when a week later, when the old sacred stick of the Religious Inquisition presented the final result to the archbishop, Camus Blanchard was completely silent. ,

Of the fifty people, no one gave an answer that he expected!

The people are in distress, but they believe in piety...

The territory is barren, but he yearns for the **** of light...

All the confessions were the same as what Mike said, so Camus Blanchard couldn't help but deeply doubt the ability of the religious inquisition.

Decentralization gave you a week, and the result was to prove that Mike was telling himself the truth?

This tm is totally bullying!

Looking at the cardinal archbishop who was on the verge of rage, an old **** stick of the religious inquisition cautiously put forward his own idea:

"Your Excellency the Cardinal, is there a possibility that... a year ago, when these Idars left the eastern part of the empire, Idar really looked exactly like the one described by Mike?"

"You mean... a poor border aristocratic leader, with only one year, has the capital to compete with Odin?! Do you think this is possible?"

"Can……"

"Pedro Chase! Don't have such unrealistic illusions at any time. You are also an old man of the Bright Church. The church has gone through thousands of years of layout before it can come to this step. In this process Among them, you and I know exactly how many setbacks I have experienced. But now, you tell me that Idar has only spent a year?"

"This is just speculation..." Pedro Chase replied with some guilty conscience.

He also thought it was weird to explain it this way, but... no matter what he racked his brains, he couldn't think of other possibilities.

The room fell into silence. After a long period of silence, the cardinal Camus Blanchard finally said: "No matter, send a few priests to the eastern part of the empire to personally investigate..."

"Understood!" Pedro Chase nodded.

Although privately used the Holy Religious Army directly belonging to the Pope to investigate a border aristocratic leader, this kind of behavior is to close your eyes to see the bachelor-ignoring the tortoise (regulation) scorpion (fixed), but...I don't know what happened in the eastern part of the empire. In all of this, the cardinal bishop is really restless.

...

When the cardinal bishop was puzzled by the true condition of Idar, and was puzzled by Mike’s purpose of serving as a prostitute in the Bright Church, Mike finally returned to Idar and was busy working on the land of the Idar Principality. Missionary.

The Hagia Sophia has indeed not been built yet, but this can't stop Mike's enthusiasm for missionary work.

Although his return allowed the Principality of Idar to fully control the power of religious interpretation in the eastern part of the empire,...

Seeing that under the leadership of Lord Bruno and the Principality of Idal under the care of Shabi, Lobita and others, Mike's heart will feel a sense of urgency.

If he doesn't show his value anymore, Sabie's status in the eyes of Lord Duke will surpass himself!

Therefore, taking advantage of the current gap, Mike led the priests he had just appointed and began to wander around the entire Principality of Idar, and... missionary.

Mike's missionary activities naturally received Bruno's full support. With the cooperation of the Idar Immigration Administration, Mike obtained a detailed list of personnel.

As early as when the refugees who had just joined the Principality of Idar settled down, Bruno deliberately concentrated those believers who believed in the **** of light in several neighboring communities.

In this way, a more precise scope of mission was set for Mike, and it can be regarded as another way to improve the efficiency of mission.

Only before the official completion of the Hagia Sophia and lay the foundation for this new religion derived from the Church of Illumination, Bruno can directly activate the buff of the guardian of the faith when the Hagia Sophia is officially standing in the Idar region. Let this brand-new religion complete the entire process from birth to transformation on the land of the Duchy of Idar.

Moreover, is there a more suitable time for preaching than this moment?

The pain caused by the war still exists, and the entire Principality of Idar is in a state of desperation, so Mike hopes to seize this precious opportunity and work hard to transform all the believers who originally believed in the God of Light into Protestant believer.

Even if not, let the seeds of Protestantism take root in the hearts of these believers...

at this time,

In a gangster community north of the Solon River, Bishop Mike, wearing a white holy robe, is holding the books of the Bright Church with his right hand, and waving holy water with his left hand, explaining the new to the believers who kneel in front of him. "Doctrine".

Behind Mike, as background music, a choir composed of twelve boys and girls is singing the hymns in the church classics:

"Ababa—"

"Abba~~~~"

"~~~"

In the singing of the children, Mike spoke slowly:

"In the classics of the Holy See of Light, the light, gratitude, kindness, and kindness that the God of Light bestows on the world are the incarnations of all good characters, but...presumably all of you present may have doubted why even if you light up The God of God is regarded as the only savior, but he still has not been able to change his life."

After hearing Mike's words, most of the people present nodded slightly.

It is true that they are all devout followers of the God of Light, but... this has not prevented them from being attacked by the Odins, and has not changed their fate of displacement.

Therefore, they can only attribute all of this to themselves, and they are not pious enough, and have not yet moved the God of Light.

But then... "You may think that the reason you are still experiencing a tragic experience is because you are not religious enough, but... have you ever thought about how the God of Light, as the embodiment of all good virtues, cares about those so-called so-called Tributes and complicated rituals?"

Hearing this, the believers present raised their heads and looked at Mike in the holy robe.

They feel...

The cardinal in front of him is denying his belief!

"You mean, the God of Light is fake? But you are the cardinal of the Church of Light!" a believer asked boldly.

"Of course the God of Light is real, but..." Mike paused, and then said with certainty: "...The God of Light does not exist in the ethereal heaven, but exists in each of you. In my heart, it exists beside each of us!"

As soon as the words fell, the believers present couldn't help but stare at each other.

However, Mike did not give them a chance to talk, but continued:

"What is the God of Light? The God of Light is not a noble existence in the kingdom of heaven, but the embodiment of the good character in each of us. As for the gift of the God of Light, it has never been a **** who descended from the sky. Traces, but in life, other people's selfless help to us!"

"Everyone, in the war between the Odin and the Idar, a soldier named Idar gave up his life and rescued countless civilians from the clutches of the Odin. In today's peacetime, Idar Duke Bruno Stuart provides you with the possibility of self-reliance, so that all people can create wealth with their own hands."

"The above are the'miracles' we need to be most grateful for and pray for. The fear of the God of Light is never just verbal. A true believer should be in the real life. In the middle, use the beautiful character possessed by the God of Light to influence others and guard the hope we have."

The words fell, and the believers present fell into contemplation.

For them, Mike, the cardinal, undoubtedly possesses the deepest understanding of religious texts, so... When they hear these completely different words from the past, what they think first is not to refute~www .lightnovelpub.net~ Instead, think and understand.

Before that, their prayers and calls did not have a good effect, and the tragic fate was still with them, so that when they heard Mike's words, they gradually developed a sense of identity.

Moreover, what Mike said are all well-known facts.

The soldiers of Idar gave up their lives to defend their homeland; the Principality of Idar was peaceful and prosperous, happy and healthy.

Isn't their current life the kind of heavenly dynasty that the church once advertised to them?

Even if there is a difference, it is completely different from the life in the past.

"Ababa~~~~~"

The childish singing of the choir once again sounded. In the crisp voices of the boys and girls, the believers present recalled the past, and then looked at the present reality...

Before they knew it, Mike's words had taken root in their hearts.
