Chapter 295: The Battle of Faith
A day later, Bishop Darko came to the auditorium of the Nolan National Theater and took a seat.
He sat in the middle of the auditorium, where he had a clear view of the stage.
The inviter seems to have deliberately arranged this position for them.
"Bishop Darko, you're finally here." The vulture had already sat aside, and the bishop had come a few steps late.
When the vulture handed the invitation to Bishop Darko the night before, the bishop also scolded, 'Why should we accept the invitation of the devil!' โ
"Vultures... Think of this as a battlefield. โ
Bishop Darko slowly sat down in his place, his eyes surveying his surroundings.
He had not found a demon in this theater that could accommodate a thousand people, and most of the guests seated around him were ordinary humans.
Judging by the clothing of most of them, their identities are not commoners, but well-known nobles or spellcasters from all over Nolan.
"Are the people of Nolan able to accept the demon's existence so happily?" Bishop Darko's hand holding the cane trembled slightly.
"I think they're here for the Flower of Fallosi, or the actress named Belle."
The vulture took out an envelope as a ticket to the invitation, and the letter not only included the singers who invited them to participate in the world as spectators, but also listed several well-known guests who had been invited.
"The Belle you spoke of is also a demon."
Bishop Darko corrected the vulture's statement in a righteous tone.
At this time, his perception also centered on him and began to spread to his surroundings... Bishop Darko found it strange that many of the people who visited had the magic of the Holy Light attribute in their bodies.
These spellcasters who wield the power of the Light were supposed to be followers of the God of Light......
"There were." The vulture's reminder interrupted Bishop Darko's perception.
Bishop Darko's gaze followed the vulture's direction and saw a young man coming out of behind the camera, a young man with black hair and black eyes.
"Chaos Demon..."Bishop Darko stared at the demon who had stepped into the spotlight, with mixed feelings.
If any demon dares to appear on the streets in the land of the Holy Cult, he will be greeted only by the blade of the Holy Cult Army and the sanction of the Holy Light.
But at this moment, it seemed as if the hatred of the demon had not existed in the first place, and the audience sitting in the audience not only did not show disgust, but instead applauded his appearance.
"And... Banshee, daytime banshee. The vulture whispered another creepy presence inside the theater.
That's the undead......
"Daytime Banshee?"
Bishop Darko's eyes narrowed, the magic condensed in his pupils, and it didn't take long for him to see the shimmering spirit floating in midair.
Those... All of them are undead, even though they are undead with the power of holy light in their bodies, but they are evil creatures turned into by the dead after all!
What the hell is going on in this world!
Bishop Darko, who was sitting in the audience, had a feeling of anxiety all over his body.
When demons appear to humanity in the open, and the undead fly over the heads of humans without anyone screaming, Bishop Darko realizes that the inhabitants of Nolan are gradually being transformed.
And the culprit of everything is the Chaos Demon standing in the center of the stage.
He made a noble salute to the audience, which is common to the human world.
"Welcome to the world of singers, I am the organizer Qiao Xiu."
Qiao Xiu raised his head, and a daytime banshee approached Qiao Xiu with a 'camera'.
The arrival of the Skeleton Male has expanded the number of daytime banshees under Qiao Xiu's command to fifteen, and these fifteen ghost ladies carrying cameras float around the theater to ensure that the wonderful moments in the theater can be presented on the 'TV' for the first time.
"Maybe you've come here to enjoy the singing of the singers... Or maybe to see Miss Carolie and Miss Belle in person, but before it all begins, I have something to announce. โ
Qiao Xiu's gaze skimmed over the entire auditorium, the main theater of the Norlan National Theater was large enough to hold two thousand people.
And today this theater is full, and everyone present is quietly listening to Qiao Xiu's voice. More than two thousand......
Qiao Xiu snapped his fingers, and a projected picture appeared behind Qiao Xiu, and in the picture above the projection, everyone sitting in the audience could be seen.
"I think you've long known that the audience watching the performance of the world's singers is not just sitting here, but... From Nolan's taverns, academies, alchemy workshops, and other places where magical machines called 'televisions' exist. โ
Qiao Xiu put his hands behind his back, and the picture projected behind him changed to Qiao Xiu with a smile on his face.
"Therefore, it was not only the 2,000 people in the audience who sat down to witness the birth of the 'chant' this time, but also... The whole Nolan has close to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of viewers. โ
As he spoke, Qiao Xiu looked at Bishop Darko who was sitting in the audience and the legion leader from the Holy Cult Army beside him.
"The rules for the birth of a chanter are also very simple, any audience member can log in to the 'Chant of the World' section of the caster forum and vote for your precious vote for the participant who thinks the singing voice is good enough."
Qiao Xiu always had a warm smile, but the last sentence sounded like a chilling coldness.
Bishop Darko in the audience listened to the Chaos Demon silently, his hand holding the crutch trembling uncontrollably from the exertion, and the vulture even suspected that if it weren't for the bishop's old age, the crutch would have been crushed to pieces.
"Bishop Darko, how many of the congregants can hear the singing of the Holy Maiden at the Festival of Light." The vulture asked suddenly.
"Up to five thousand believers...... Bishop Darko took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitation.
Bishop Darko doesn't doubt that what the Chaos Demon said is false... He had indeed seen the magic machine called 'Television' in a shop near the church.
A group of people only have to sit next to the 'TV' to see a frost elf holding a strange instrument and singing an unknown song softly.
Bishop Darko had always thought that this kind of magic machine would only be available in that shop, but it seems that this thing has already been put all over Nolan, and even worse, the controller is still a Chaos Demon!
This Chaos Demon can spread his thoughts to Nolan through the means of 'television'.
The reason for Bishop Kodรกrk's anger was not because he was afraid of the terrible missionary tactic of 'television', but because of ...... The Chaos Demon's last words were clearly a declaration of war on him.
It can even be said that war has been declared on the entire country of the Holy Religion!
The content of the war is not a death match between swords and blood, but a blatant questioning of the influence of the Holy Religion.
"The war began... Vulture. Bishop Darko said slowly: "The war for believers. โ
"Is the Vanguard a Holy Maiden?" The vultures also saw the Chaos Demon's provocation.
This contest of the world's chants, unwittingly, has become a battlefield between demons and the kingdom of the Holy Cult.
"Her Highness will prove that demon's decision wrong."
Bishop Darco did not think that this 'war' would be lost, and judging by the contestants of the world's chantors, the amateurs could not compete with the saints.
It's better to say... This time the singers of the world are a great opportunity to develop the 'Followers of the Holy Maiden' in Nolan!
