Plymouth.

Elvis didn't know that his first action revealed too many secrets and was also targeted.

Of course, after the first attempt of the clever man had such an effect, he resisted the temptation to start his missionary career again and again.

However, while the workers were the best source of mass for missionary work, the entrenchment of the state religion and Catholicism made his action slow to bear fruit.

However, he was not in a hurry, for he knew that the Calvinists had very few followers in England, and had only recently established their own presbyterian congregation, which was not very large.

Therefore, he asked for devout believers, and only accepted devout believers, so that the number was relatively small and not easy to be discovered, especially in an inconvenient place like England, where the king had strong control over religion and the state.

Of course, after going there a few times, I found that on the surface, everyone was very enthusiastic, but there were very few people who came to get to know each other, and even fewer who were interested in converting.

Despite this, Elvis still found three believers with strong conversion aspirations.

Such a great achievement naturally made him overjoyed, and also made him appreciated by the Presbyterian Church.

In this regard, he decided to make persistent efforts to convert these three aspiring believers to Calvinism, so that the entire Presbyterian Council would be stronger, and the state religion would be overthrown as soon as possible, so that the whole of England would return to the right path.

So, he made an appointment with the three men to pray for Mass at nine o'clock this morning in an abandoned chapel.

Although Calvinists do not pay attention to whether or not to pray in the church, and advocate that "everyone is a priest and everyone has a calling", they believe that each individual can communicate directly with God and does not need the help of a pastor or priest.

However, it was helpful to preach in the church, and they were more receptive.

Standing in front of the altar of the church, Elvis took the English version of the Bible and looked at it carefully.

But in his heart, he has been thinking about how to convert all three of them, so that he is likely to be elected to become a high-level manager.

Although he believed in Calvinism, the desires in people's hearts were still unrelieved.

At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps in his ears, and when he looked up, at the door of the abandoned church, four cowering men walked in, he looked closely, three of them were still people who had made an appointment together, and the other did not know each other, but they were very familiar.

"I said, Lev, look, I've said it all, I don't want to come, you have to bring me here, I really don't need to convert!"

Joseph looked at Elvis in a white robe in front of him, he felt that his legs were a little uncontrollable, and his heart beat extremely fast, as if he was about to jump out of his chest.

"Don't worry, Joseph, Pastor Elvis won't blame you for coming here without permission!" It was rare for Lev, who had always been taciturn, to say so much, and he took Joseph's arm with both hands and persuaded him.

"But I really don't want to convert!" Joseph glanced at the two men beside him with strange eyes, and whispered into Lev's ear, his face full of pleading.

"Man, you don't need to convert, just come with me!" Lev whispered in desperation.

"Okay!" In desperation, Joseph could only agree to come down.

The four of them saw Elvis, who had been waiting for a long time, and soon came to the altar.

"Who is this?" Elvis asked curiously, pointing at Joseph.

"Your Excellency, this is my friend Joseph, and he also wants to convert, so he begs me to bring him here!" Seeing Elvis' surprised look, Lev hurriedly explained.

"Yes, Reverend, I do!"

Joseph said with a mistaken expression.

Seeing this, Elvis naturally did not drive him away, but comforted him, and then talked about his own teachings to brainwash them.

"All men and men are equal at the moment they are created by God, so we should go back to the beginning, we can communicate with God and pray without the teachings of pastors and priests, and all men are equal......

Elvis spoke eloquently about it, and knew the teachings well, and came casually.

When the four people below listened to it with fascination and a pious look, he spoke more interestedly, and the small church was filled with his voice.

Among the four people who listened, only Joseph, who was outwardly pious, was always anxious and anxious.

Unlike Lev, an honest man, he has always had an active brain, expecting to be rich, drink and eat meat, and live the life of an upper-class person.

And what Elvis preached before them was thrift, no drinking, no indulgence, no consumption of pleasures, this is simply living the life of a monk.

Only an honest person like Lev would believe it, but he wouldn't.

Just last night, just as he was about to close the door and go to bed, several men with athletic skills came to his house, wrapped tightly up and down, and could not see a trace of their faces.

They held swords in one hand and several golden coins in the other, which made Joseph's heart beat and his legs fell to his knees unconsciously.

Joseph swore that it was the most gold he had ever seen in front of his eyes, and it was the one he feared the most.

He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, begging the unscrupulous characters to spare the family.

However, the masked three people drove his wife and children back to the room, and kept dangling the five gold coins in front of him.

At the same time, he felt the cold back of the iron sword in his neck, and the sharpness that could cut through his throat in that instant.

Later, believing that he was hallucinating in his ears, the group asked him to go to church with his friend Lev tomorrow to listen to the unreliable priest preach and blend in with the so-called Protestantism.

Joseph's first instinct was danger, a pool of deep water, deep enough to drown him.

But the man forced him with his sword, and gave him five gold coins.

Finally, he was warned not to divulge a little about the night.

Otherwise, his own life and that of his family would not be safeguarded.

In this way, he was forced to go cowardly by threats.

But the next day, just as he was about to think of a reason to go with him, Lev took him by the hand and went with him.

After explaining all the way, he realized that the wife of the Lev family did not allow him to take leave from work.

For this reason, he pulled himself in and prepared to go back to work together, and the salary was fooled with his private money.

In this way, Joseph pretended to be unwilling, for fear of arousing Lev's suspicion.

Not only Joseph, but throughout England and the United Kingdom, the Dark Blade and the Court Intelligence Service kept throwing money around, preparing to take out the lurking Calvinists in one fell swoop.
