Strictly speaking, Bishop Masner is not a leader in the Church.

Others who are fellow bishops are not only of higher birth than him, but also have a greater understanding of doctrine and contributions to the Church.

However, Masna, who was only a commoner, still became the leader of a major city.

There is no other reason than just luck.

As we all know, there is no one in 100 chances of success in the ritual of seeing God.

Those fourth- and fifth-order god-seeers have all gone through nearly a thousand god-seeing ceremonies before they become the leaders of a party.

And the number of times Masna participated in the god-seeing ceremony was about the same as those third-order knights, and even some non-chieftain second-order knights were much more than him.

After only two or three hundred ceremonies to see the gods, he became a fifth-order god-seeer, which was a situation that did not appear in the entire continent.

For such a lucky person, the believers who are desperate to see God can only helplessly complain that Bishop Masna has received the favor of the gods.

Of course, if he is a person who is more qualified than him, he may be able to say bluntly to him: virtue is not worthy.

Indeed, in every sense of the word, Masner had no potential to become a bishop, and his contribution to the Church was minimal.

The vision and behavior that he retained during the civilian period made the people of the same rank, and even the lower level, have unspeakable contempt for him.

At the same time, Masna's talent is not very strong, and a dignified fifth-order god-seeer once had a quarrel with a certain rebellious fourth-order knight and was severely taught a lesson.

Otherwise, as the bishop of the Great City, it would be impossible for him to use honorifics for the Infinite Heavenly Venerable, a fourth-order knight.

The top brass of the Church of the Mystery did not seem to be welcome to him, the darling of the gods.

Even after the appearance of the degenerate, that is, those who have been eroded by divine power and reduced to chaotic monsters, the church has launched a series of investigations and tests on the high-level god-seeers.

Masna's test results were clear and unusual, and even performed better than most people.

Those high-ranking nobles who claimed to be from noble backgrounds jointly targeted him, so that he was also isolated and observed for a long time before he was released.

This is undoubtedly something to be ashamed of.

However, Masna, who was born as a commoner, quickly calmed down.

As a commoner who had experienced the warmth of human affection, he thanked the gods for giving him the status he has today.

He knew that there were some ill-intentioned people who were happy to see his depravity, and there were many who coveted him as a bishop.

The more this happens, the more important it is for Masna to abide by himself and not allow those with ill intentions to get what they want.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that he was the one who was specially favored by the gods, otherwise he would not have become a fifth-order god seeer so easily.

Even if the talent is not good, I am not even able to defeat some strong fourth-order knights.

But as long as I don't give up on myself, and the gods don't give up on themselves, then what about the sixth, seventh, and eighth orders?

I only use all the way up to maintain my heart, and I will eventually leave those so-called nobles with colored eyes far behind.

But an incident that happened at noon today made Masna uncontrollable, and he was a little shaken.

His wife, betrayed him.

The betrayer was the city lord of Boer City, who was also a fifth-order god-seeer.

And this betrayal does not seem to have happened in the near future.

In his luxurious house, Masna looked at himself for a long time, only four years old, but the more he grew more and more like the little daughter of the brute, and fell into a deep silence.

The wife had already moved out of the house and did not take her little daughter with her, or rather, she did not have time to take her away.

For the wives of those who are only two-order gods, they don't dare to get along with fifth-order Masna day and night after their betrayal is exposed.

She has moved into the castle lord's mansion.

And his youngest daughter, the little princess he used to spoil the most, plunged Masna into deep pain.

He couldn't bear to do it to his little daughter.

Not even then.

Because of that, the high-ranking nobles of the city lord's family seemed to have a good reason to do it to themselves.

No, it's not sufficient, after all, it's their fault in the first place.

But what they need is just a reason, isn't it?

However, Masner was not defeated by this, and he knew that he could not remain in a state of anger for long.

Otherwise, everything you have gained will be turned into powder.

He chose to endure humiliation, and with the heart tempered from the bottom, Masna stopped the devil in his heart.

At least, until he can completely control the life and death of those people, this devil cannot be unleashed!

……

The time for the prayer service has come.

Masner was about to start presiding, but with a creak, the door of the church was opened again, and a person he least wanted to see appeared in his church.

The lord of the city, Prasu, pretended to be solemn and came to the prayer ground.

The disciples greeted the city lord one after another, and after Prasu responded one by one, he came to a fairly loose booth and sat down.

Looking up at Masna, whose expression was a little gloomy, Prasu was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, Bishop, don't you welcome me?" ”

Masna kept watch over the altar not to touch any emotions that might be depraved, and he chuckled, "It's just a little surprising, it's just a regular prayer ceremony, and the lord of the city has not informed us beforehand, you will be here." ”

Prasu said lightly: "Praying to the gods, like eating and drinking, is a daily necessity, and the church can make me feel the gaze of the gods even more, Bishop Masna, don't you welcome me?" ”

Masna closed his eyes slightly and said, "There is no such meaning, it is an honor for the church to be able to come, so let's start now." ”

Retracting his gaze from Prasu's body, Masna rigorously conducts the prayer ritual from the beginning, first leading everyone to praise the gods, and then praising the gods according to the canon.

Then, with their hands crossed in front of them, they lowered their eyes and began to chant the prayer in a low voice.

Like a whisper, like a mixture of the low roars of insects and beasts, it hits the human heart, obscure and eerie.

Call~

A cold evening breeze blew into the church, blowing out the faint candlelight, and only a flickering flame flickered in the burning brazier.

Quack quack~

Outside the house, there was the chirping of crows scattering.

A dark glow emerges from the church.

All the believers were stunned.

Then came the unspeakable fanaticism.

Above the church, the majestic body that seemed to be suspended in another dimension exuded a strange energy that invaded the body and mind of every believer.

Deity.

The gods have come!

If there is a 1 in 100 chance that the ritual of meeting God will be successful, then the opportunity to meet the gods in the prayer ceremony has not happened a few times since ancient times!

The huge body of the god of secret horror is a different form in the eyes of different believers.

Only high-level seeers can get a glimpse of it, and capture some of the terrifying appearances of the gods with their increased eyes!

"Great Mystic Master, thank you for shining on me with your own radiance!"

"You are the origin of the world, the supreme of everything, the wind, fire and electricity, everything in the great world is small compared to you!"

The believers were very enthusiastic in praising the gods who had suddenly arrived.

Some of the God-seeers, who could barely hold back the infinite fanaticism in their hearts, turned their eyes to Bishop Masner.

This can't really be the chosen son, right?

How can it be so European!

Just a daily prayer, the gods were summoned again!

“@#￥……”

The diffusion of the high-dimensional syllables of the gods, this time, is the clearest ever.

Every believer can feel the slightest bit of it...... Sentiment?

Every believer was infected by this unknown emotion, and became tearful, and was very touched, but he didn't know why.

All they can do is be louder and more pious, thanking the gods for coming!

However, there was only one person present who could understand what the gods were saying—

The calamity is greatly !!
