.

Afternoon is the best time for people to doze off, and the warm light shines down on the earth, providing energy for Ceylon's prosperity.

In this stained-glass room, the young man maintains the same pose, his pale golden eyes reflected in dense words.

Bill continued to watch, but slowed down.

Due to the age, the passages below the newspaper are blurred, and some of the fonts are different from the language used in the current society, which makes it difficult for Bill to understand the content of the newspaper and make it difficult for him to read smoothly.

In fact, as an outsider, Bill's accent, grammar, and even some unclear ways of speaking have been exposed once in front of Shawei.

This was the hat that Shawe had put on him during that interrogation, and Bill overcame this obstacle by reading articles and reducing communication (although sometimes he didn't want to communicate with outsiders in the first place) to fit himself in as much as possible in an era of relatively strict tones.

But he still couldn't become a native in half a year, and he couldn't fully understand the meaning of the obscure words used by the 'ancients' more than a hundred years ago.

He could only make a simple guess and jot down the obscure words.

In this case, Bill can only summarize what happened to bishops around the world after they walked out of the church, and the evaluation of a third person:

The newspaper wrote that at first he wrote on a wooden board the heretical religion questioned by the Holy See, the method of the Dragon Cult.

There is no big article in the newspaper about the sudden appearance of the Dragon Cult, it is only explicitly labeled as a cult, and in the notes it is written that the god of this cult is a dragon that only appears in mythology.

The followers of the Dragon Cult claim that their dragons clearly exist in this world, and that dragons possess great power and can protect the world in any situation, not the Faceless God who can protect the world in the mouth of the Ode Holy See, which no one has ever seen.

Only dragons are true gods.

Therefore, they wrote on a wooden board three meters long and two meters wide fifty questions about the Holy See of Oude.

Some of these questions were easy to answer, some were difficult, but the editor apparently didn't present all of them in the newspaper.

He recorded only the most acute question, the one carved on it with a knife: How to prove that the god of the Ode-Holy See is the most powerful god in the world, and if it cannot be proved that the god of your faith is strong, should the people look for a new faith?

The Bishop replied with a chapped mouth:

"In our world, God is the most powerful being, and the great God is enough to protect the believers, but that is not the reason why we believe in it. ”

Immediately, the bishop was asked, why would we believe in God if it were not for His boundless power?

Without thinking, the bishop explained why.

"We believe in it because of its love. ”

"There are other powerful beings in this world, and only our gods have chosen human beings and chosen to protect this world from the eyes of other forces, so we believe in it. ”

This answer seemed to have a deeper meaning, causing the people to pick up stones again and hit the congregants because they could not understand what the bishop was saying.

"Those who can understand the meaning of the bishop's words should have known something, right?"

Bill muttered to himself and kept reading.

The text does not record how the populace stopped throwing stones at the Bishop, and perhaps the attacks continued in the following answers, but the Bishop did give a vague or concise answer to the Dragon's question.

But the questioning is not over yet, under the problem of the Dragon Sect, there is also the problem of the Fifty Wise Men School, they look down on the organization in the name of religion, but at this moment, in order to break the two thousand years of shackles of the Oude Holy See on the people's minds, these people are willing to temporarily cooperate with the cultists.

Moreover, the questions of the school of the wise are more profound, and people are more and more confused when they hear them, and they can only judge whether what the bishop says is reasonable or not based on the faces of the 'wise men'.

Again, these fifty questions are not recorded in the newspapers, it records only the most acute ones:

What evidence is there that wizards really exist, or that they still exist, every century the Oude Holy See conducts a large-scale witch hunt, why the wizard has not been killed, is it deliberately done by the Oude Holy See?

Is there any direct evidence of the existence of God in your mouth?

Depending on the basics, we can easily simulate a (vague) catastrophe or save it in the simplest way (with a bunch of principles), because it's all your pretending!

The last question does not end with a question sentence, but directly uses an affirmative sentence, expressing that the Sophists no longer need to ask questions, they are very sure of this matter, for which they have carried out dozens of verification experiments.

Bill finally jumps past the vague part and jumps to the editor's description of the bishop.

"The Bishop still calmly watched the crowd, and in the face of the insignificant human beings who coexisted with the strong and confused, the weak and the powerful, his or her eyes reflected a complex light. 」

"Then stop defending and look up at the sky......

"Everyone looked at the bishop, but nothing was seen, nothing happened. 」

"They withdrew their snooping eyes, and I (the author) heard someone scolding them, apparently thinking that the Sect Master had nothing to say and admitted everything with silence. 」

"Reason is exhausted, and they rush forward in rage, iron in hand, O my great God, please stop this!"

"I don't know if the prayer worked, the wind stopped at some point, the temperature quietly dropped in the scorching sun, I was squeezed out by the crowd and fell to the ground, and I saw the shadows on the ground seem to vibrate, and the trees and weeds in the distance are also vibrating......

"......" (an incomprehensible word)

"And suddenly, it was dark. 」

"Oh my God, what do I see!"

"Is that God?"

"Whether faith is a tranquilizer for the human soul or a poison that awaits, it appears before me, and with a great light it reflects its outline in the sun, leaving a narrow shadow on the sun!"

"I didn't get to see how the madness ended, and the moment I saw my faith, the bright light burned my eyes and made me fall to my knees and cry my most remorseful tears. 」

"......" (some gibberish words)

"My great and all-powerful God, you have discovered a small doubt in my heart about you, so I accept the punishment and offer all that I have with the most sincere soul to embrace your presence in this barren world!"

"Long live the Holy See!"

The content came to an abrupt halt, and it can be seen that the editor still retains a shred of sanity in the first half of the article, and has become the most stubborn paranoid in the middle and second parts.

Bill couldn't even believe that such a religious article could be published in a newspaper, but it was stored in a museum.

Therefore, Bill can only guess that in the early days of the newspaper's appearance, there was no unified news in the world, and the popular doubts about the Holy See of Oude quickly subsided after the miracle.

The intensity of religious rule in the Oude Holy See has expanded rapidly, even to an unprecedented level, and society is in dire need of a large number of articles to curry favor with the Holy See.

In short, all opposition voices disappeared in miracles, and Bill could even imagine that the Dragon Cult would disappear with lightning speed in the future, because the dragon gods in the mouths of these pagans would be the first target of the Holy See.

Bill continued to walk, hoping to see more news about 1605, as the Holy See of Ode showed a new posture and they took the initiative to expose mysterious powers!

This is seriously inconsistent with the rules of the mysterious world formulated by the Holy See itself, and it is definitely not something that a weak mysterious force can do with the sun.

Bill never believed that the god in the mouth of the Holy See of Ode really came to this world, and if the god really existed, and he could be summoned to this world so easily, the wizarding civilization would have disappeared completely.

Moreover, in this incident, it seems that the only mysterious organizations involved are the Holy See and the Dragon Cult, and no other organizations are written in this report, not even the most valuable collaborator of the Ode Holy See, the Witch Hunter Association.

For this reason, Bill wanted to find a report from another newspaper, preferably one published in another country, on how much truth and loopholes were in the articles of zealots about the religion.

But then the newspaper collection was discontinued, and on the right side of an empty wall, the newspaper appeared in front of Bill in 1618.

The Holy See of Oude suddenly gained the right to administer many cities in the world, and cooperated deeply with the government, and the government's attitude towards religion also changed, from being inseparable to being inseparable.

Bill doesn't know what happened in the intervening thirteen years, but judging by the results, it seems that the Holy See has completely changed the way they operate and the way they propagandize.

In the newspapers from 1618 onwards, the Holy See frantically proclaimed their contributions, and never mentioned politics and science again.

All the clues that can be obtained from the newspapers are hidden, and even the hunt that was known to the previous generation only ends with the Ode-Holy See once again guarding the world.

It doesn't look like the way journalism should be, but that's how journalism is written.

It's almost impossible to think without prejudice, and of course the other extreme statement is that only paranoia can survive, and Bill is noncommittal.

Opinions and biases are also almost synonymous.

It is difficult for anyone to have an unbiased opinion, but the most terrible thing is not this, but the self-belief that one's own bias is absolutely justified.

However, when he left the small collection exhibition room, his dislike for the Ode Holy See changed dramatically, and the change was discussed when Bill saw the Ode Holy See from a third-party perspective, putting aside the hatred between the wizard and the Holy See.

There is probably a little bit of appreciation, a little admiration for the miracles that the Holy See can simulate, and a little bit of deeper fear.

Walking in the dense space of dark clouds, Bill even began to have a picture in his mind of the Dragon Cult being uprooted by the Oude Holy See, and he did not hesitate to eliminate it.

It has been said that if something is popular at a certain time, then it will always be overrated, and the Holy See of Oude tells everyone with the best evidence that they are grossly underrated.

In the dim moonlight, two patrol teams of cultists quickly traced the footsteps Bill had taken as he headed to the library, not knowing if he had been guided.

He hid on the roof, not daring to observe with shadow eyes, and could only watch with the naked eye as the believers entered the memorial museum under the cover of night, and the man in dark red robes led the way and quietly opened the door of the museum......

"Damn, damn it!"

"I hope they just guessed my purpose and couldn't trace my tracks!"

Bill left Monte City as fast as he could, deciding never to return to the city and running towards the outskirts of town with just his feet.

The trees swept backwards at the same speed, the wind that filled the trees howled, and the dim moon looked like a barren place that had just lost its life, or like a giant artistic dial hanging on the wall before it had time to be carved.

It just followed Bill and could be seen whenever Bill looked back, never leaving.

"I should ask the Shadow how far a church of the caliber in Monte City is screened for wizards!"

"Hey, Shadow, are you there?"

Bill asked as he ran, and the shadow in front of him was full of deathly silence, like a huge moon eye peeking through the sky behind him, but it was not far away, dim.

Trying to calm down, his mind was a little confused, and he began to think crankily again, not knowing where to go, and not wanting to open the shadow space, but sensitively feeling that home was in a certain direction.

"Do you want to go home?"

"Where else can I go, Manor Nardo is some distance from Monte City, but I'll have to wait a few days in another town before I go back to see if Monte City's tracking will be extended. 」

"Ah, that's a great idea. 」

Bill follows his remembered location to a town at a moderate distance, and the beautiful garden trip is ruined, but he still has to return to the manor, where there is a high probability that Williams grew up.

The key to Williams' particular mental illness is likely to be hidden here, and he can't wait!

What Bill didn't know happened when he left the Memorial Museum, when the familiar bald man of the Sky Eye Sect held his head and knocked out the stained glass made of blue, red and yellow when the red-robed missionary opened the museum door.

The stained glass shattered to the ground, and what awaited Able was not an escape, only a fishing net covering him, and the whole person struggled in the characteristic hemp rope.

"Give up the struggle, foolish cultist, from the moment you left the liner from Brittus, you were told that pagans had broken into Ceylon. ”

"I don't know the purpose of your visit, but I will pronounce judgment on you in the name of God. ”

The red-robed missionaries and a group of worshippers walked out of the main entrance, just making a guiding gesture and waiting for Able to jump into the net on his own.

Able quickly stopped moving, his back pressed against the ground, and looked at the red robe viciously.

"You are the infidels, the greatest liar religion for decades!"

"The Heavenly Eye Sect is immortal!"
