The archbishop of the Four Elements Church is the closest person to the four gods, and can be said to be the spokesman of the gods in the mortal world.

The four elements have different personalities, and their styles are naturally very different.

Elian, the god of water, likes to run the country himself, and he will do everything himself.

The god of fire, Yadwiga, has little interest in governing the country, and likes to find people to fight when he has nothing to do, and occasionally asks the current chief on a whim about the development of the country.

Lesona, the god of the wind, advocates freedom and rarely interferes in state affairs, and the Church of the Wind and the kings under her name have little control over the people, and the social atmosphere is relatively close to that of the Free Federation.

Cain, the god of the earth, and Ilian, the god of water, are two extremes at all.

Arian was in charge of state affairs for many years, while Cain ignored state affairs from the very beginning of the state, leaving the power to run the state completely to the archbishops.

This is where the name of the Church of Cain comes from, and only the God of the Earth is troublesome to let the church directly manage the government.

In addition to the Charki Empire, which is directly under the water god, the other two elemental states have their own national leaders, and the theocracy and political power are separated.

Altheia: "The archbishop of the current Earth Church is Dan Aiteri, who has just taken over the power from the previous archbishop for less than two years. ”

Combined with the knowledge previously recorded in the library of the Mage Association of Purple Eagle City, Alethea and Yongzhen complemented each other to explain the situation in general.

"At the beginning of his tenure, Archbishop Atri was quite diligent, adhering to Cain's style, gently and calmly managing the country, only occasionally hiding and fishing like Cain, causing the church to jump."

Consus chuckled and complained, "According to the records of the archbishops of the Earth Church recorded in the history books, this situation is already considered a traditional art in the Cain Sect. ”

The top boss doesn't care about Buddhism, and the members of the church who worship the god of the earth naturally follow the same example, and they have a whole set of fishing and laziness.

This continued until the beginning of the year.

It is very rare for Archbishop Aitri, who has always been a Buddhist, to unexpectedly fall seriously ill.

Although Cain was not in charge, the blessing he bestowed on the archbishop had been passively in effect, and it was logically impossible for the archbishop to get sick.

At the time, the incident also caused a heated discussion in the Church, and many people secretly joked that Archbishop Aiteri had fished too much and attracted Cain's anger and punishment.

After recovering from a serious illness, Archbishop Aitri, who had always adhered to Buddhist management, suddenly changed his mind.

He no longer hid from the members of the church, and stayed in the cathedral every day to attend to official business.

The nuns and priests of the Earth Church wept with joy for a while, and the Earth Church, which likes to fish, finally has a responsible archbishop.

But Archbishop Aiteri's change is not limited to governing the country, and the traditionally gentle Cain has suddenly begun to show its edge this year.

The border friction between the Free Commonwealth and the Cain Church has not been a day or two, and there are often pastoralists from the two countries grazing across the border in the steppes without an actual border line, which has led to a lot of war of words.

In the past, the Cain Church would try to downplay friction as much as possible, giving people the impression of a good man with no temper.

Although the Free Federation hated the gods, it would not kick its nose in the face under the restraint and forbearance of the other side, and the two sides maintained peace in the border area for a long time.

After the burning of the village, Archbishop Atri reacted quickly and sent troops to the border to confront the Free Federation, curse each other, and start a war, with a very smooth one-stop tough response.

According to Yongzhen, the restraint of the Cain army is now dominated by the generals in charge of the military, and pressure from the Central Church has been urging them to be tougher.

Archbishop Aitri even "generously" sent reinforcements to the Charki Empire when he was short of manpower, leaving the Church of Nort almost defenseless.

Lu Xiao frowned and asked, "With such a big change, Cain doesn't have any suspicions?" ”

Yongzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Cain spends most of his time asleep, not caring about his kingdom at all, and I suspect he doesn't know about it at all. ”

Coincidentally, the smell that Fenrir smelled also extended all the way in the direction of the Sect Capital Els, Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, and had a preliminary guess in his heart.

'Mind control or seizure?' The target chosen was just right. ’

Because Cain, the god of the earth, did not care about anything, the archbishop of the earth church took the power completely into his own hands.

It was such a thing as darkness under the lamp, and it was impossible for the people of Cain to imagine that the archbishop closest to the gods in their country would be controlled.

"Now that the situation is becoming clear, let's go, go west into the territory of the Cain Cult, and go to the capital Els to meet the archbishop with whom his personality has changed drastically."

……

Compared with the Free Commonwealth, which was mostly mountainous, the most common in the territory of the Church of Cain was the gently sloping hills, and I wonder if it was the terrain that Cain had transformed with his own power at the beginning of the founding of the country.

The current season of the Atlantic continent is the transition between spring and summer, and when you look at it from above, you can see the green fields that make you feel unconsciously relaxed.

"Whew!"

The two wolves were flying at high speed in the air when Fenrir suddenly let out a roar.

Yongzhen communicated with Fenrir through the contract: "It says that the scent is divided into two parts, one continuing towards Els and the other going northwest. ”

"Two ways." Lu Xiao hesitated: "It seems that we have to act separately." ”

"Yongzhen, you and Fenrir continue to track down to the northwest, and I will go to Els to see the situation, maybe I can remove the mind control of Archbishop Aiteri."

The road is divided into two parts, and it is clear that the Lord has left the cult of Cain and is heading north, preparing to enter Svaleni, a kingdom ruled by the goddess of the wind, Resona.

Compared to Cain, the god of the earth, Lesona was relatively responsible for the people, but she was also very good.

If that unknown creature had been secretly plotting, it might have been able to get it into a bunch of trouble.

Before parting, Lu Xiao solemnly admonished: "Don't be reluctant after catching up with the target, if the enemy is very strong, don't startle the snake for the time being, and wait until I finish dealing with the archbishop's affairs and rush over." ”

Yongzhen nodded obediently: "Okay, depending on the situation, I will notify Tamamo to come and help." ”

"Decide for yourself, just don't mess around."

Bidding farewell to Yongzhen, Lu Xiao sped up and flew in the direction of Els.

Archbishop Aitri doesn't move when he sits in power, and he doesn't need Fenrir to track him at any time, and Yongzhen needs it even more.

This time, Lu Xiao didn't plan to politely knock on the door and enter, the prejudice of the four major elemental countries against non-god-based spellcasters might complicate the situation.

The architecture of the capital of Els is dominated by a heavy earthy yellow color, and a ceremony is being held in front of the majestic cathedral in the center.

A young man in his 20s, dressed in a solemn and ornate church attire, preached his ideas to the believers who came to the church to listen to the voice of God.

"Is that him?"

Consus: "That's right...... In other words, he is still encouraging his people to join the army, so he is not afraid of causing social unrest? ”

Lu Xiao shrugged: "Obviously, this guy's brain is not normal, and I have already felt discordant soul fluctuations." ”

Lu Xiao's golden eyes scanned Archbishop Atri's soul, most of which were bright orange-yellow souls mixed with a touch of inappropriate yellow.

"Sure enough, you're doing a ghost."
