Although it is an inquiry, in fact, Hadak certainly has his own opinions, and even if Fang Xin disagrees, he will do so.

It's just that Fang Xin didn't care.

Time passed quickly, and it became clear that this was indeed within the territory of the Duchy of Jenkinson, and theoretically in the county of Donburin, and so the kingdom never had a grand duke and lord reach this remote village, which had only eighteen families established by the flight.

The villagers in the village are a very simple group of people, and the so-called simplicity is not kindness, but refers to their very practical meaning - really succumbing to strength, really calculating.

There were small wheat and vegetables in the fields, and after a slow exchange, the villagers were able to establish the rule of "food and labor in exchange for magic", and although they would pray at the altar of the transformed Latent God, who could believe that the peasants would understand the teachings of thieves and agents?

Hadak went down the mountain once and reported his achievements - killing these paladins and priests of light was a very great achievement.

Normally, anyone who can kill one will be rewarded and rewarded by the church, of course, this can't be said by Hadak alone, it must wait for the Hidden Shadow Church to confirm it.

Not only did he come back with relevant information - the Church of Light in Putra had sent an ultimatum to the local church, so he had to avoid the limelight and change his name in a few months before he could act again.

The second was to bring a batch of simple alchemy utensils, which not only Fang Xin would use, but also to make holy water.

Hadak was then very busy teaching Harmon to become a true shadow pastor, and although the pastors of the two churches were essentially the same, they had to learn the lessons. The doctrines of understanding, the statutes of action, are completely different, and it takes quite a long time to get used to it.

In the blink of an eye, it was May, and the mountains and jungles were lush and green.

"Your Excellency. The spell succeeded? Hadak followed Fang Xin, talking as he walked.

"Yes, it's succeeded, the first one is the spider web - you've heard of it!"

"Yes, my lord, I have heard of one of the most effective and practical spells of the second level." Hadak said, of course he had heard of this famous spell.

It fires a sticky magic web with a radius of about 10 meters. This can be fixed there by people with little strength, and people with power also have to struggle slowly, which is very effective for small group warfare in a narrow space.

Fang Xin nodded, and the two of them came to the sparkling lakeshore, and then Fang Xin began to chant the incantation silently, and after a while, with a wave of his hand, the entire clearing was covered with a slightly white silk web, covering hundreds of square meters, which was the sticky magic cobweb. Glittering in the sun.

On the edge of the lake, there is a huge tree, this tree is probably at least 100 years old, 10 meters high, and there is a thick rope wrapped around it. Fang Xin dragged it and climbed up like that, and Hadak followed suit.

The tall trees can look out over the surroundings and even far away from the lake, so that no one can hear them.

The two of them sat among the branches. Looking down, you can see the whole small lake.

"Can the church help me move to a position in the principality?" Fang Xin asked, although he was only ten trees tall, it seemed that the vicinity was already in full view, and the farmland in the distance could also be seen.

"I've already asked about this, yes, there will be people operating in front of the Grand Duke. But it can't appear by its original name. Hadak looked at Fang Xin and said, "And." Ask for 10,000 gold Lake. ”

"En, this condition is acceptable. But it's really expensive! Fang Xin said with a sigh.

"This is the rule of the church, and it has been going on for almost 800 years." Hadak said without embarrassment: "You know, we are not like the Church of Light, which used to collect tithes directly, and now we also have a large amount of donations and land. ”

"For the sake of the maintenance and development of the church, we can only determine this method of charging, unlike the current Church of Light, although it has lost the right to directly collect tithes, but it has issued indulgences to obtain wealth." Hadak said half envious, half hateful.

"I heard that your church has merit to discount the price?"

"Yes, you are now a bronze badge, nine percent off." Originally, when Fang Xin built the island, the Lalker Church also contacted him, saying that as long as he was allowed to build a temple secretly, he could directly promote Fang Xin to the level of a Silver Badge member, and there were many benefits and privileges.

But now, of course, there is no more, or the bronze badge.

The price of the silver badge is discounted by 20%, and the gold badge is discounted by 7%, Fang Xin asked: "On top of the gold badge, can there be other levels?" ”

"Yes, platinum badges, six folds, it's just that basically no one can get it." Hadak didn't say who got it, this is definitely a big customer of the Hidden Shadow Church or even the backstage.

The Latent Shadow Church, serving the guests, is actually only an average of 50% of the profit, with a 6% discount, and if there are other additional and unavoidable expenses, it is basically a free gift.

"Well, if I deal with the Church of Light, can I convert it into a contribution?"

"Absolutely!" Hadak immediately said without hesitation, and even showed a hint of joy, if there is anyone who is the biggest enemy of the Latent Shadow Church, it is naturally the Church of Light.

"What about the standard?"

"Kill a clergyman below level 5 for an Iron Badge, kill five clergy below level 5, or a clergy above level 5 for a Bronze Badge and kill twenty ......"

Fang Xin interrupted him with a sneer and said, "Little family, if I can kill each other among the clergy of the Bright Church, thousands of people have died, and millions of believers have died, then what is the merit?" ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Of course, even if you take 10,000 steps back, it can shrink the finances of the Bright Church and lose one-tenth of its income, so what is the merit?" ”

Taking a step back, this is because considering this world, there may be the influence of Western travelers, although they haven't encountered it until now - this is normal. It's strange if you encounter it as soon as you come to this world.

Hadak was taken aback, stared at him and said, "If you can do it, then you will not only receive the highest treatment of the church, but you will also receive the grace of God, even if you do not believe in our lord!" ”

Fang Xin smiled, he assured that of course it didn't work, but it didn't matter, he said, "Okay, then I'll say it directly." After that, you bring back three copies, one for the Magic Guild, one for the Fixes family, and one for your church! ”

"Speak, please." Although he thought it was too exaggerated, Hadak still said.

"Indulgences, you know!"

"Yes, it is a specialty of the Church of Light, and it is claimed that the believers can be pardoned for their own sins after purchasing such coupons." Hadak replied. A little unimpressed, thinking that his idea was to attack this point - this, the Church of the Shadow has already done it, but unfortunately it is of little use.

Seeing his expression, Fang Xin also sneered and said, "The indulgence has been used to raise funds since the great war with the Sun Church three hundred years ago. ”

"Yes, the Pope at that time. It was announced that all those who joined the army would receive a reduction in punishment. And to issue indulgences to every jihadist soldier will not only reduce their own sins, but also reduce the sins of their loved ones, and even make people rise from hell. Hadak replied immediately.

"Yes. I guess you are directly accusing the Church of Light of the clergy of living in extravagance and lasciviousness, and selling indulgences as a way to raise money. ”

"Yes, isn't that right?"

Of course not, the meaning of the existence of indulgences lies in the majority of believers. They also believe that the church has the right to atone for their sins, and they are afraid of the judgment after death, so if you attack directly, you don't hit the point...... The extravagance and extravagance of the Church are not enough to destroy the faith. ”

"You've heard the words when the money you used to buy indulgences jingle down in the chest, and your loved ones come out of the flames of purgatory. As long as they still believe in this. Your attack doesn't make any sense. Fang Xin stood up on the branch and looked into the distance and said.

"And. Although a large part of it is indeed wasted, a large part of it flows into the Holy See's holy treasury to train the clergy, and even accumulate strength to prepare for the second holy war...... These efforts are seen by people of insight in the church, and your direct attack can neither shake the foundation of the church nor shake the backbone of the church. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Deny the church's right to atone for sins and attribute it to the God of Light!"

"To deny the church's power to atone for sins and to attribute it to the God of light? Doesn't this strengthen the glory of the light god and purify the light church? ”

"Hmph, stupid, although theoretically speaking, denying the church the right to atone for sins and attributing it to God of Light can be partially pure and glorify God of Light, but the problem is that the church and God are inseparable."

"The Church has lost its tithes, and naturally wants to acquire new wealth to sustain the vast system and raise the capital of the Holy War—it has not forgotten the Second Holy War, and has unified all the light under the name of the God of Light."

"So, the secular and the spiritual are so sharply opposed, and if you think about it, if the Church of Light loses the Holy See's right to issue indulgences in a unified manner, in order to maintain the existence and development of the Church, it has to delegate power to the dioceses and let them raise their own funds, what does it mean to evolve? DID YOU KNOW? ”

"Ah, yes, the Church has become more independent, the diocese has been controlled, and the power of the Holy See has been weakened." Hadak reacted immediately, and his eyes sparkled.

"Not only that, but in order to raise funds, the churches everywhere have to cooperate with the world, and even be influenced and controlled by the secular government, and I believe that the nobles and kings everywhere will be very happy to see such a situation."

"Yes, yes, yes, your plan is very good." The struggle between theocracy and kingship has been going on for thousands of years, and in this respect it has been instinctively supported by nobles and kings everywhere - even if they do not know the plan, they will instinctively understand it.

In this way, it is equivalent to gaining the support of the kings and nobles of the whole continent, which is a very powerful force.

"This is only a preliminary matter, and it is not easy to really deny the church's right to atonement, but in a church, there are always devout believers, there are always passionate believers, there are always believers who are dedicated to God—even clergy, who are not satisfied with the extravagance and usurpation of the church, you say, isn't that so?"

A flash of spiritual light flashed, and Hadak suddenly felt a fluctuation of the holy power in his body, this joy did not come from him, but from a higher being, he was almost desperately gasping, and his eyes flashed with a dark light: "Yes, I see, yes, there are always believers and clergy in the church who have pious ideals and are wholeheartedly considered for God!" ”

Fang Xin just didn't see it, and recited it: "...... Behold, those who have been by grace of God, whom God hath commanded to edify and shepherd the people, who, because of their greed, will use fabricated words for your gain. that many may follow their sexual ways, and be blasphemed for their sake, and their punishment shall not be delayed from time immemorial, and their destruction shall come quickly......"

This sentence is a passage in the Sacred Book of Light, and now that it is said, it suddenly makes the eyes of the "person" on the opposite side flash.

Then I saw Fang Xin say word for word: "In the name of God, make war against those who usurp God's authority, blaspheme God's glory, and make God slandered, and send them all to hell and burn them." Let the devout believers and clergy of the church fight and fight for the word of the Lord, and if they die in it, they will receive the gift of God! ”

"I call it a purification movement, and it will surely make the earth rise with swords."
