Red Leaf City, the Temple of the Wind Rider.

Bishop Morey and Bishop Mark were walking along the temple's newly built courtyard walkway, discussing the Autumn Festival.

Autumn is the season of abundant food, and even the leaders of the evil camp know that a good harvest means the growth of their power. So in autumn, there are grand ceremonies in various towns to celebrate this year's harvest and wish for a good harvest next year, even though Momiji Castle is a commercial city dominated by logging.

"Because the Church of the Wind Rider is not very good at the harvest ceremony, we invited the priest of the Earth Goddess to preside over this celebration, and I ask Bishop Mark not to mind!" Now that Morey and the Church of the Wind Rider are in the honeymoon period, and the Church of the Wind Rider and the Faist family are traditional partners, they naturally don't want to cause any unpleasantness because of the ceremony of this harvest festival.

"Lord Morey is too polite, and our Wind Rider Church is not good at harvest sacrifices in the first place. But if there's a caravan celebration, you can find us a lot! After all, with such a big temple, we can't still ask believers to help us live! Mark jokingly stated his demands.

When caravans were to perform rituals to pray for a good harvest, most of them were presided over by the priest of the goddess Waukin. However, it is also possible to have [caravans] in the priesthood of Sandakor. Among the believers of Sandakor were caravanserais, and before they set out, they would pray to His Excellency the Wind Rider for blessings for a safe journey.

"This year's auction in Momiji Castle will be held a week in advance, and it is expected to start in mid-August. Time is pressing, and I'm afraid that the family members won't have time to deal with it, so it's better for Bishop Mark to pick a few clever ones to help me. Don't make people laugh if you don't prepare well by then! ”

"Morey City Lord, please rest assured, our church is very familiar with the affairs of the caravan, and it will definitely not disgrace Red Leaf City." What is a week in advance, the family is too late, not to mention a week you are a month in advance, there are people in the Faist family who can help you arrange everything properly. All this was just an excuse for the people who had installed the church in Mark to get in touch with the merchants in advance.

The merchants who came from afar saw that this sales club was full of pastors of the Church of the Wind Riders, so they would naturally increase their attention to the Church of the Wind Riders, and they would become believers after a long time of contact, which was Mark's plan.

And Morey also needs to clean the mark of the original family in Red Leaf City, which was originally a fief for the children of the lineage, although because of the strong statement of the Great Elder, he had to withdraw from Red Leaf City with his own people, but he still did not give up.

According to Barta's information, he is now secretly connecting some auctioneers and merchant groups at the auction to make some moves. At that time, if there is a problem in the sales meeting, he can also connect with some people to take the opportunity to remove Morey from the position of the city lord of Red Leaf City. It's a pity that he will never know that Morey's Red Leaf City is the product of the exchange of interests between Eire and Enge, even if Morey blows up this Red Leaf City, the family will not pass a resolution to remove him.

Although Morey is not afraid of being dismissed, as soon as Red Leaf City arrives in his hands, there will be a mistake in the auction, and when the time comes, when he meets Ire, the meeting will be dull. Therefore, this time the Church of the Wind Rider was invited to enter the sales session, firstly, to repay the kindness of the Church of the Storm Rider for building a temple and stationed in Red Leaf City (which strengthened Morey's momentum), and secondly, to sabotage the enemy's conspiracy this time, the so-called killing two birds with one stone.

The two walked while talking, and before they knew it, they had come to the sacred hall where the statue of the god Sandakor was placed. Less than a week after the last groundbreaking ceremony, the 50-foot (15-meter) height of the sacred hall was erected.

"Why don't you go to my lord's dwelling and take a look, maybe my lord will send a blessing!" Mark smiled and jokingly invited Morey to go.

"Hehe, or... Then go in and see if I'm not so lucky! Morey originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided to go in and take a look, he had not entered a sacred hall where the statue was placed since his resurrection, and he was very curious about the complete sacred hall.

There is not a single stone pillar in the sacred hall, but the high dome perfectly accommodates the huge statue of the god, and with the stained glass on the dome, it allows all the light to gather on the statue.

The base is still the same as the one Morey looked at when the foundation was laid last time, and the statue of the god is actually the same stone statue as last time, but it exudes a faint light. Shouldn't the idol be painted with gold and silver? You're too shabby, aren't you?

"Our lord has always disliked luxury, and his earthly dwellings are only ordinary rocks, so we are fortunate to be a little more relaxed than the priests of other gods." Mark stepped forward and explained, as if he knew why Morey was so surprised.

"Praise the Wind Rider!"

"Praise be to my lord!"

Morey paid his respects to Scienta Col from the bottom of his heart, and sometimes if the gods had not asked for the specifications of their temples or sacrifices, many of the people under his rule would have been much happier. But there are so few such deities as Sandakor that they are precious.

The two were about to leave, when suddenly Mark was overwhelmed by a wave of grief and was unable to move.

"Bishop Mark, are you doing this?" Looking at Mark, who suddenly looked sad and painful, and put his hands on his chest, Morey was a little worried.

By the time Mark raised his head again, he was already in tears.

"My lord... My lord—" Before Mark could finish speaking, there was the sound of rocks cracking behind him. Morey looked back, the original light had disappeared, and the idol suddenly looked dim, and cracks quickly covered the whole body of the statue, and then the surface of the gravel slowly disintegrated, and finally became a mass of mountain stones with only vague shapes.

"My Lord has fallen!"

With a sad face, Mark gently stroked the weathered and eroded stone statue.

"This ......" felt the breath of Mark's rapid decline, and Morey had to accept this fact as well. In addition to blasphemy by depriving the gods of their bestowed power, it is only the fall of the gods that causes the priests who serve Him to be demoted en masse.

"My lord has fallen, and I have to appease the rest of the temple and arrange the aftermath, so I can't entertain the city lord now." After a long silence, Mark finally began to put away his sadness, but there was grief and dullness in his voice.

According to the unspoken rules of the world of Becky, if a god falls or disappears (if he does not respond to believers for a long time), then the temple originally built in the town can no longer be used, and the church has to go underground, and it will be treated like an evil god. If you are going to stand in front of the stage and summon the spirits of the fallen gods, you have to face the hordes of all the reigning gods, and all the gods are on the same page.

"If there's anything you need help with, just tell me, I've done it to the Lord!"

Morey thought for a moment and continued, "That's it, I'll go with you too, the church must be chaotic when something so big happens, and you can concentrate on things with me." ”

Although the fall of Scientakor, the fall of the church has become a fact, and the foundation of the alliance no longer exists, but Morey is not one of those snobbish guys in the family, Mark is also a comrade-in-arms who fought with him, Morey is naturally nostalgic, not to mention that he also wants to absorb some priests of the temple to his command.

"Thank you, thank you!" There was a choked sore in Mark's voice.

Adversity sees the truth, and Mark has a deep understanding at this moment. With Morey's help, the church in Sandakor could hope for less chaos, and the church would be able to retain more power.

The weathered idol couldn't hold on any longer, and the smoke and dust stirred up even Morey and Mark, who had just walked out of the sacred hall, were inevitably contaminated with some dust, and the exquisite stained glass on the dome was shattered a lot by this vibration, and the sound of glass shards lasted for a while.

Listening to the sound of scattered glass breaking and smashing on the ground, Mark somehow felt a sense of sadness welling up in his heart. The temple, which had only been built for a few days, was so dilapidated all of a sudden?

It wasn't until Morey tapped Mark on the shoulder to comfort him that he relented.

At this moment, a spatial crack suddenly appeared in the sacred hall, and a stone slab the size of an adult's palm appeared in front of the two of them. The slate glowed yellow, flickering and flashing at Morey or Mark.

Mark felt a sense of intimacy from the slate, and couldn't help but feel the urge to hug it. But before Mark could make any further moves, the slate "swished" into Morey's head.

Ever since Morey's mind was infused with information from Sandru last time, he didn't have any information to make his brain feel like it was instantly full.

But this time, the Tablet of Destiny carried the Divine Fragment [Exploration] was not only infused with the Godhead and Divine Ability, but even some Scienta Col's information fragments.

As an ancient deity, Sandakol has experienced so many things that Sandru can't compare, so this time Morey directly crashed.

Morey fell, but woke Mark up.

"Lord Morey, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the yellow light that shrouded Morey's body but unconscious, Mark panicked a little, now Morey can't have an accident in the temple!

"Young Master, what's wrong with you!" Balta suddenly appeared. He has been quietly following behind his young master, if it weren't for Hyde's going to meet Johnson today, who had suddenly led the team to cross the country with weights and now returned to Red Leaf City, to discuss Morey's military parade in the past two days, there would be one more questioner at this time.

"Captain Balta, it's not me, just now a stone slab suddenly appeared and flew into the head of the city lord of Morey, and that's it." Mark hurriedly explained that he didn't want any misunderstanding at this time.

"Nonsense, if you're a ghost, it's my dagger that greets you!" Balta secretly slandered himself. Although the scene just now was sudden, it was still clearly seen by himself. His young master was suddenly drilled into his brain by a stone slab, and now he is lying on the ground unconscious, how can this thing sound so mysterious.

"Bishop Mark, it's great that you're here! Decai: They are going to break into the treasure house of the temple, you should stop them! ”

Vivien Hayley ran over in a panic, and when she saw Mark, she suddenly had a backbone.

Hearing this, Mark was also anxious. The treasure trove of the temple is full of the wealth of the temple of Red Leaf City, and Mark wants to rely on this money to establish a new church and wait for the resurrection of the god.

"I just said that those white-eyed wolves of Decai shouldn't be put in Red Leaf City!" Decai They were orphans collected by the [Linfeng Order] in the Holy Lance Kingdom, but because of the weak influence of Shandakole here, some of the younger orphans had already been collected by a church like the God of Morning Light, and these orphans who were obviously overage became the only choice for the [Linfeng Order].

First of all, Mark must admit that there is always gold in the sand, and Vivien Hayley is the embodiment of the shining gem of this group of overage orphans, loyal, kind, brave, humble, she has all the good qualities of a devout disciple.

But the rest of her friends are not like this, and the misfortunes of their childhood, combined with the fact that they have been living by dark means since childhood, have made them paranoid and selfish.

This Decai is one of the representatives, he can play some ghost tricks, and he is good at using the advantage of his young age to lower people's vigilance against him, so many people are deceived by Decai, and only a few people such as Mark have seen Decai's true face.

This time, Mark didn't want Decai's group of people, but the manpower was mobilized to the dark region, coupled with the strong recommendation of the northern sect leader of the [Linfeng Order] who was deceived by Decai, Mark had no choice but to use these guards. It turned out that he just wanted to respond to the emergency, and he would change people when the time came, but he didn't expect that such a major event as the fall of the gods happened, and these people really turned into robbers who guarded and robbed.

"How many of them are there!" Mark hurriedly asked, it was useless to regret it now, so he had to stop them first.

"There were only a dozen of them, but Mr. Decai said...... Now there are more than thirty of them! Although Vivien Hayley did not continue, Mark knew that Decai must have said things such as "Since God has fallen, why should we be loyal to the church" and "After so many years of hard work, the church should always give us a little living expenses", which bewitched a large number of undetermined clergy.

Mark looked at it and made sure that there were no subordinates behind Vivien Haili, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, there are hundreds of clergy in a temple, but until now, only Mark and Vivien Haili are still firmly on the side of God, firmly believing that he will rekindle the divine fire and return, and it is really sad to think about it carefully.

"What's wrong with Lord Morey?" Vivien Hayley saw Morey lying on the ground in a yellow glow.

"Morey City Lord ......"

"Young Master, I've been a little tired from cultivating spells recently, and it just so happened that such a big thing happened to you, and you were tired all of a sudden!" Looking at Balta's "dare to tell the truth and I'll kill you" look, Mark naturally didn't say anything.
