It wasn't until Leit and Nierlo moved away that the terrible pressure in the room diminished.

"Hoo ......"

The pampered clergy of the Holy Mountain each adjusted their rapid breathing, and even the enlightened ones like paladins and witchers had palpitations.

The sword saint Degoni, who was defined as a "liar", greatly surprised everyone's expectations.

Archbishop Shadoman looked at the fragment of the gem in his hand in a daze, his expression a little dazed.

There was no doubt that the gem in his hand, though dim, was not an ordinary thing in terms of the strange sounds and shadows and delicate appearance he heard, let alone hidden under an ancient god.

And Laitt and the others left angrily just by seeing this gem object, which also shrouded the audience with a layer of doubt.

"Archbishop, what are the gems in your hands, and do you know what they mean?"

This doubt was in the minds of everyone present, and one of the bishops in the crowd asked it.

"I ......"

As soon as the irritable Sadoman said "I", he saw all the curious and inquisitive eyes around him, and the majesty of being an archbishop made him have to cheer up.

"This gem is a treasure handed down from the church, and it has been hidden inside the old statue of the god in the central cathedral, and it is a symbol of the gospel of the gods!"

The archbishop breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"The atmosphere they had when they saw this gem was enough to prove that Nirlo had turned away from the belief in the Most High God and the priests...... Hmmm!"

The more you talk, the smoother your thoughts become, and you must not be too weak at this time anyway.

"I followed the oracle of the Most High God to find the Gem, but because of their offense to the Holy See, I also angered the Most High God, and the Gem was shattered......"

Although the last sentence was said a little weakly, the anger on his face that did not show half of it was true, after all, the gem was indeed broken, even if Sadoman more or less felt that the cause of the shattering was not necessarily caused by the other party.

"Hmph, I actually threw away the paladin badge, I don't know what gave them such confidence! If it weren't for them, they had also served the church for the supreme god for many years... This can be considered heretical!!"

After the shock of the Sword Saint just now, Shadoman still didn't dare to give the order to arrest him, and after scolding a few times to show his anger, he glanced at several bishop-level figures, and then got up and left.

The fact that all the people above the bishop level had to leave the venue also indicated that the discussion was unhappily dispersed.

Ten minutes after the church ended, several witchers and several paladins walked along the stone path.

"Yes, there's no one in front of or behind. ”

One of the paladins whispered to his companions, and the others visibly relaxed a little.

"Do you think they've really turned their backs on their faith in the God of Light?"

A witcher looked back at the top of the mountain and asked the people around him with deep meaning.

Another paladin touched the badge on his chest.

"Apothesize the faith? That's Leyt Solo......"

The hand of the gods in the hand of mortal punishment!

After a short silence, another person hesitated.

"I'm afraid the archbishop really knows something, but he didn't tell us, that sword master... Well, what do you think of the guy who was described as 'Fitness Degoni'......?

Listening to the words of this priest, the march was so heavy that all of them had palpitations, and the feeling just now was almost the line between life and death.

Especially the strong people like the paladin and the witcher, they can experience the horror even more, the other party has obviously moved the killing intent, but forcibly restrains it.

"If the Sword Saint Degoni had just done it, no one would have been able to organize it!"

"Indeed..."

"Hmm... Even if I had my accessories by my side at the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to swing my sword, that kind of power ......"

"yes, that kind of power!"

These people say that they are simply martial artists, and they have not been corrupted by power at the young age of entering the country, but they are more eager for power.

"So why is such a thing happening today, if it is unlikely that Leyter has betrayed the faith?"

"yes, what does the Sword Saint refer to, what do the archbishops know... Today's church, bishop-level figures are really unanimous... It's like rehearsing in advance. ”

The sarcasm in the witcher's words could be heard by everyone, but apart from being silent again, this kind of "great rebellion" was not easy to echo.

In the rest area on the mountainside, the other fifty or sixty people who were eagerly looking forward to the return of the Sword Saint and the others were waiting for the returnees with gloomy faces.

The situation is not only not going well, it has simply risen to the level of conspiracy.

After Leitt and Nierlo's explanations, everyone found it incredulous, but helpless.

It turned out that the high-level officials of the Holy Mountain had always known about the "crystal", and even from the color of the crystal, it was not difficult to see its age.

A terrible and pathetic possibility, or rather, a terrible and sad fact.

With the ingenuity of Nierlow and Leyter, everything had been figured out on the way back, and all the doubts that had not yet been sorted out became more and more obvious.

......

At the table in the resting place, Nierlo, with a sad mood, told a fact.

The Church of Light actually knows about the "Otherworldly Crystal", and it is very likely that it even knows about the "Otherworldly Calling" and the "Doomsday Crisis", and perhaps knows more about the interior.

Obviously, the former founders or founders of the Church of Light have also received the power of another world, or simply like the Sword Saint, they have been guided by the light power of the other world in that era when demons are rampant.

That's why there is a church, and that's why the church is called "light", and the origin of everything is conceivable, which also explains the exaggerated development of the church.

In the original era, there may have been strong people like the Sword Saint in the church, and maybe even with the direct help of the power of the light side of the other world, so that the foundation of trust among mortals could be established in a short period of time, and it was also the foundation of faith that later developed into god worship.

In Nierlo's words.

"When the crisis fades, when the world returns to tranquility, the power of the light world also leaves, and the strong men like the sword saint Degoni have died one after another, and some have fallen into a deep sleep... At that time, the church began to corrupt and degenerate!"

Having enjoyed a wide range of voices, enjoyed a lot of support, and enjoyed the power of an emperor, the people of that organization in the first place began to have a general desire to maintain this power.

Perhaps there was still the idea of commemorating the power of light, so the original organization began to slowly turn into a kind of faith organization, and a fictional god of light came out.

All oracles from ancient times to the present day are false, and all actions under the banner of gods can ultimately be explained by the Church's own desires.

The corruption of the local church is but a microcosm of the whole Church of Light.

And everything today was a conspiracy, including the previous prevarication and this time, which had obviously been colluded in advance, and they didn't need to listen to Reyt at all, because they already knew.

Letting himself and others go to the holy mountain in person is just a veto in person or simply trying to convict a crime.

This narrative is not something that Nierlo has made clear overnight, but in his and Leitt's speculations and narratives, it almost points to such an outcome.

In just ten minutes, the faces of the people were already full of horror, and some priests and divine servants even had their hands trembling slightly, and their inner world seemed to be about to collapse.

"Archbishop, why are they doing this!! aren't they worried about the crisis of the world, not about the calamity?"

A priest shuddered in his heart and asked such a question that many people were puzzled about.

"Maybe it's the benefits..."

Reitt opened his eyes, which had been closed, and he remembered what he had seen and heard.

"If they do what we want, what if the struggle of the church is revealed? There is no real God of light, then what about the theocracy? The former church leaders are reluctant, and after so many years of enjoyment, the current generation may be even more unbearable..."

If you think about it, it is true, for the sake of profit, it is possible for the top of the Holy Mountain to do anything.

"Are they going to do anything to us?"

A general in the city of Asia raised this suspicion with concern.

"Heh... In fact, they were already planning to do it at the top! I also think that they did everything possible to let us come to the Holy Mountain, not just to refute us, but to ......."

One of the witchers who had gone with him stood up with a sneer, the kind he didn't say might have been guessed by anyone.

"There are at least nearly a hundred enlightened people gathered in the cathedral, and there are many more Holy Guards of the Holy See, and when we left, the Templar Commander was even ready to make a move, but unfortunately, they have not been willing to believe that the unwillingness to admit the Sword Saint is true!"

The momentum is intimidating, even if the Holy Mountain is very jealous of them at the moment and wants to keep them, but as long as the Sword Saint Degoni is there, they can leave safely.

Qin Xiaoxia, who was silent most of the time and only mentioned some possibility at the critical moment, also sighed and got up at this moment.

"Maybe there is also an element of fear, when people face a force majeure disaster, sometimes the most direct escape is... I don't want to believe it!"

"Okay, I'm tired but I don't want to rest here, get out of here, they won't help us anymore......"
