Chapter 31: Archbishop Ivan is in despair
"Oh, you're awake!" A clear female voice sounded in Archbishop Ivan's ears, but now Archbishop Ivan didn't have the heart to think about why a young girl appeared here.
"I'm not dead!" That was Ivan's first thought when he woke up.
Although the elves are immortal, and as a legendary-level legal professional, Ivan has spent a very long time, but this does not mean that he has lived enough, as a clergyman, the cause of preaching faith is what Archbishop Ivan really cares about, at this moment the Arrow continent is in chaos, it is a good time to preach faith, Archbishop Ivan definitely does not want to die in this kind of barren mountains and mountains.
"Uh......" Ivan rubbed his eyebrows, the feeling of mental breakdown was not good, but now he could do some simple thinking.
"Was it you, no, did you save me?" Ivan looked around at the same time as observing the girl, he was still on top of this barren mountain, as for why he used honorifics for this girl, it was because Ivan found that this girl did not exist in his perception.
If you can perfectly avoid the perception of a legendary professional, then the result is obvious, this girl is Archbishop Ivan's attachment for thousands of years, god!
"Yes, although I don't know why you provoked Tachibana, I can feel that you are not a bad person." The corners of the girl's mouth, that is, Alice, the lord of the mountains, rose, as a god, her skills in using the holy light far exceeded those of these priests on the Arrow continent, and even the holy warriors could use the holy light to sense whether a person was evil or not, and it was easier for the gods to judge this.
Yes, whatever the consequences of Archbishop Ivan's actions will lead, but his loyalty to the gods is unquestionable, so for the gods, Archbishop Ivan is definitely a good person.
In other words, Archbishop Ivan was born with a buff of "Religious Reputation +50".
However, it is not uncommon to "do bad things with good intentions", whether it is out of short-sightedness or for the benefit of his own class, the current Archbishop Ivan has split the Nine Holy Churches on the continent of Iero, and is actively fighting against Mijas, which has violated the fundamental interests of the gods.
That is, most of the gods are still asleep, and the only god king who can be active is the mother of the earth, the king of the elements, who has been transferred, and he doesn't care about the management of the faith, but just nests in the kingdom of God to give birth to his own earth gods, otherwise Archbishop Ivan would have been dealt with by the gods he believes in.
As it happens, Alice is also a god who doesn't care about faith.
"Finally, I can see you again, Kami-sama!" Although Archbishop Ivan belonged to the younger faction in the original Nine Holy Church, as an elf, the "young" Ivan was also more than 500 years old and had a calm enough temperament, otherwise it would be impossible to lead the current Protestant forces.
But suddenly he really encountered the gods he had believed in for hundreds of years, and Archbishop Ivan was inevitably excited.
But Alice was a little embarrassed by Archbishop Ivan's performance, "Well, I'm a newborn god, you don't have to look at me like this." "It turns out that even if it's a god, not all gods like to be fanatical about star-chasers.
"Newborn? Kami-sama, after a thousand years of silence, is it starting to be active again? "For Archbishop Ivan, this really couldn't be better news.
"That's right, the activity of the Mother Earth God has accelerated the pace of recovery of the other god kings, and the last time I saw the death crown, there are already signs of the main god being active in the kingdom of the gods, it seems that in a few decades, the gods will fully recover, right?" Alice nodded, for her and Ivan, decades was not a long time.
Perhaps, this is the best news that Archbishop Ivan has heard since Mijas recently became active on the continent of Arrow, right?
"Really, is that really the case?" Just a few hours ago, Archbishop Ivan was worried about the total disadvantage of the mortal race to the dragons, but now, the gods are about to recover!
No matter how strong the dragon is, it will not be the opponent of the gods!
Yes, after the Council of the Gods officially returned to the throne, the Dragon Legion was no longer the strongest force on the Arrow Continent, even Mijas could not deny this, but there was one thing that Archbishop Ivan did not think about, or rather did not want to think about.
The mortal race is not a member of the Council of the Gods.
"Creature battery" is the name given to the mortal race NPCs by players who became gods later in the game.
Mother Earth God doesn't care about the power of faith, or the current gods don't care much about the power of faith, but players are different, faith is another kind of experience value, for the promotion of Godhead, fighting a faith war is the most normal choice.
Who can guarantee that the Hero Continent will not be born on the continent of Arrow, which has lost its player, and will not be born to believe in gods?
"Hoo......" Archbishop Ivan calmed down, it was not a good thing to lose his honor in front of the gods.
"I don't know what to call Your Majesty?" Archbishop Ivan had the heart to observe the appearance of the girl in front of him, and he had been immersed in the excitement of seeing the gods and the joy of knowing that the gods would be revived.
Alice's appearance generally inherits Alice's heroic spirit, but because of the priesthood, it will appear more calm, of course, for a fanatical clergyman like Archbishop Ivan, Alice's faint divine power is the best cosmetics, no matter what the appearance, as long as there is this mask, it is beautiful in the eyes of Archbishop Ivan.
"I'm Alice, of course, you can call me Lord of the Mountains, that's my god name." Alice said happily, this is a Legendary-level believer! Not to mention that Alice is just a god with the potential of the main god level, even if it is the main god of the Eight Classics, the prince of the earth, Earles, will not have too many legendary believers, for them these original gods, a legendary believer, that is, a super-large power bank, as long as there is a believer of this level to contribute the power of faith to himself, it will be enough for all the daily consumption of a main god.
Of course, this kind of believer will be more important to the future birth of the belief in God, and the soul of a legendary professional can be promoted to sainthood in the kingdom of God, which is an important means for the development of God's possession for those who lack divine power.
"Lord of the Mountains? Could it be that the crown is a god of the earth god system? Ivan suddenly snickered in his heart, you must know that the current Earth Temple is under the control of Mijas, and the reform plan implemented by Mijas has seriously dampened the development of faith on the continent of Arrow, Archbishop Ivan has always believed that all this is caused by the fact that the gods did not come to the world and the authority was usurped by Mihas.
"Is the one who deceives the world and steals his name finally about to be wrathed by the true gods?" Archbishop Ivan thought.
Alice, on the other hand, didn't think about it so much, "Yes, my mother goddess is none other than the prince of the earth, His Royal Highness Earls, and the god king should be counted as my maternal grandmother." "Of course, this is a statement within the god system, and Mijas, as a serious dragon, will never admit it.
"Your Majesty Alice, I wonder if you've ever heard of the name 'Mijas'?" Archbishop Ivan couldn't wait to start making a small report, according to his idea, at the very least, he should make Mijas himself unable to meddle in sectarian affairs, and let him, the archbishop, take back the faith management authority of the Earth Temple and the Earth God System. If it can cause the gods to be dissatisfied with the dragons, it will be the best result.
But Alice's answer caught him off guard.
"Do you know the Father?" Although Alice, who has just been born for a few years, has inherited memories, and she has been born through the transformation method, unlike Earls, who needs to grow up slowly, but there are still some childlike hearts, although Mijas strictly forbids her to publicize her relationship with her, but the Holy Light Apostle in front of her is a legendary-level existence, and he can be regarded as a supernumerary member in the god system, so he can naturally get some information that is not too important.
"Father, God the Father??!" Archbishop Ivan was directly shocked, Mijas is a serious dragon clan, when did he become a god?
Although Mijas has always claimed to be the "son of God", although most legendary professionals know that Mijas has some connection with the original king of the earth, and also know that the current goddess of the earth is transformed from the king of the earth, but more often, the legends who hold their own reason still don't believe in Mihas's statement.
"It's too far apart, isn't it?" There are not a few people who think this way.
To be honest, if it is an ordinary mortal, this relationship is indeed very far, but Mijas is a dragon or a red dragon prince, so this relationship is not too far, not only not too far, but also very close.
Archbishop Ivan was silent for a long time, he suddenly felt that he was so stupid that he actually pinned the hopes of mortals on other beings, and the thought that "the gods and dragons have long been friends" kept echoing in his mind.
"Why, Mijas...... Lord Mijas destroys the pure faith in people's hearts so much, why can you sit idly by? But in the end, Archbishop Ivan still had a glimmer of hope, or rather, now, he couldn't think of being able to fight against Mijas or the dragons other than the gods.
"......" Alice's pretty little face wrinkled when she heard this question, her experience was not enough, if Ivan asked a "knowledgeable" question, it could still be solved through inheritance memory, but now she was a little distressed.
After all, she still likes the power of faith very much, and who doesn't like this easy way to get energy? But alas, she doesn't have the ability to rebel against Mijas, and she won't rebel against her "Father".
"Probably, because we don't need faith?" Alice said in a speculative tone.
