Chapter 289: The Church
Feng Heng shook his head and smiled, "Mother-in-law praised it, if we have the opportunity, we can learn from each other, but at the moment, I am short of time, but I can't follow the same way before." β
After he finished speaking, he reached into his arms and took out a small boat the size of a palm, speaking of which, this was given to him by the master of the Thousand Sects before he arrived in Northern Xinjiang, but he had not used it for so long, and now it has finally come in handy.
Granny Mu and Fluttershy have obviously never seen anything like this, and their faces are surprised but not inquiring.
Feng Heng threw the boat to the ground, and immediately changed to the size of two zhang, and said while beckoning the two of them to get on the boat: "I know what you want to say, but I have a request, don't ask anything about me along the way, and don't say anything strange when you see it." β
Granny Mu nodded solemnly, of course she had seen the boat, the problem was that there was no water in the deep mountains and old forests, what did this little brother let them do on the boat, but in line with the eclectic psychology of the masters, Granny Mu still obediently pulled Fluttershy on the boat, and as soon as she came up, she heard Feng Heng say something and grasped it steadily, but then she heard a whoosh, and the boat actually rose from the ground and broke through the air at a very fast speed.
The two of them were shocked at this time, but Feng Heng's words just now were still lingering in their ears, and although they had thousands of questions in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak, so they could only hurriedly grab the hull of the boat.
"This Huoyang County should be a big demon, right?" Feng Heng asked with a calm expression, while Yu Zhou.
Granny Mu nodded a little hesitantly, "The territorial awareness of the big demon is generally very strong, and generally speaking, it is unlikely that a second big demon will appear in this area, but this kind of thing is not absolute, it is difficult to say that there will be other big demons coming to visit the door." β
"That's it..."Feng Heng frowned slightly, he had made sufficient preparations before coming to the demon clan, and the hidden formation was also arranged on the boat under his feet, but for the sake of safety, he still raised the height a lot, and it was expected that even if a big demon came from the sky, it should not be easy to find their traces.
"However, a big city like Liluo City will generally have a large protective array, although the strength of the little brother is high, it is best not to enter the city directly in the sky. β
"The Great Array of City Protection?" Feng Heng was a little stunned, everything he saw and heard along the way felt that the demon clan seemed to be more stupid and barbaric than the human race, who knew that they also had a formation mage here, it sounded even more powerful than the human race, could it be that what he saw before was really just a scene in a remote place of the demon clan?
But this is more in line with common sense, in the tone of Mr. Yin and Yang at the beginning, the strength of this demon race is much stronger than that of the human race, it seems that this strength should not only be in physical cultivation, but also in all walks of life here than on the human side.
"Has Granny Mu ever seen a flying ship like this before?" Feng Heng asked tentatively.
Granny Mu shook her head, "No, the old body has never seen anything like this in his life for so long." β
Just when Feng Heng felt a little better, he heard her continue: "I've only seen flying houses before, and some of them are big iron balls, and it's the first time I've seen a light and agile boat like this. β
The hull of the ship suddenly sank some distance, Granny Mu and Fluttershy were so frightened that they hurriedly grabbed it, Feng Heng choked her with this and almost didn't come up in a breath, it seems that the strength of this demon clan is indeed much more powerful than he thought!
Continent of Winds, two days later.
Kane still went to the academy to teach, and was originally going to go back to the misty forest after school, but he suddenly received a secret letter on the way, and he had not seen the person who sent the letter, but that person was waiting for him directly above the gate of the academy, and he was still wearing the robe of the emissary of the Holy See, and the shining badge on his chest was five golden wings!
The red-clothed high priest of the Holy See is only six wings, and the five wings are equivalent to the level of the black-clothed high priest, such a person actually runs errands to deliver the letter, so the content of this letter is worth guessing.
Kane suddenly had a bad premonition, and after seeing him leave, he hurriedly opened the secret letter, only to see that what was lying inside was not an ordinary page of paper, but a piece of gold leaf made of pure gold.
"What kind of thing can be done with such paper?" Kane saw such a handwriting for the first time, and his heart became more and more curious about the contents of the letter, and he quickly pulled out the gold leaf and examined it carefully.
Who knew that this look couldn't help but be stunned, this gold leaf turned out to be an invitation letter, sent by an organization called the Council of Light, to the effect that in view of Kane's actions and contributions to the human world, the Council of Light thought that he had the qualifications to join the council after some consideration, so it decided to invite him to go to a place called the Hall of Light in the city of Saint Lauland in the Wright Empire ten days later to participate in the initiation ceremony.
Kane couldn't see it clearly, so, the Wright Empire he knew, Wright meant the Holy Light, so in some places it is also called the Holy Light Empire, and the Domain of the Gods Mountain Range, where the Holy See headquarters is located, belongs to the territory of the Wright Empire, and because of this, it has become the center of political, economic and cultural exchanges in the entire human world, there is no doubt that the first empire of mankind, it is said that the entire empire does not raise a single soldier except for the personal guards of the royal family and some other nobles, because no one has ever dared to fight their idea, and there has never been a war there for so many yearsγ
In addition, he is also considered to be the homeland of God, which is mentioned many times in the Bible and many myths are inextricably linked to him, so many cities in the Wright Empire are named after the sacred, and the city of Saint Laurent Gal mentioned in this invitation is the most prominent of them, and he is also the capital of the Wright Empire.
But this is the first time he has heard of this Council of Light, judging from the content of the invitation, it is not difficult to see that this Council must occupy a high position in the entire human world, thinking about his current identity and strength, it is only qualified to join, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of people are in it.
However, it was a little strange to him that this council sounded like an independent organization that should not have much to do with the Holy See, but why would a five-winged high priest send a letter to him?
It seems necessary to ask Evely, this pope's daughter has grown up seeing the big world, and must be very familiar with various high-end organizations in the human world, although this council is not a cult, but Kane doesn't want to join any boring churches, and he doesn't have the time and leisure.
It's not unheard of something like this before, usually he throws it away at a glance, but this time this one is obviously different, not to mention anything else, this gold leaf itself is worth a lot of money, even if the content written on it is absurd, he may not be willing to throw it.
Speaking of the fact that after his intelligence department became more and more perfect, Kane also saw many unknown and absurd things, and he even divided the existing church organization into categories.
The first type is the doctrine of light, such as the Holy See, which positively proclaims and spreads truth, goodness and beauty, praises God and the gods, and at the same time aims to improve the overall moral consciousness and personal cultivation of the whole human world.
The second type is the doctrine of doomsday, which is generally to create an image of a true god first, and then trumpet all kinds of dooms and disasters, unless you join them to get the blessing of the true god to get liberation, this kind of church is a bit nonsense compared to the first category, but usually the people who founded this kind of organization are talents, they will perform the so-called miracles by various means, so that some ignorant people blindly obey their instructions, I said before that the knowledge of this world is the patent of the aristocracy, so there are not a few people who are fooled.
The third type is the doctrine of sin, this kind of organization is generally to infinitely magnify some of the original sins and dark sides of human beings, and then teach you how to get redemption from these sins, the so-called no one is perfect, everyone has more or less made some such and such mistakes, among which there are many people who are immature in mind and courage, and may have been entangled in some of the mistakes they have made, so as to give those people a chance to take advantage of.
This kind of church organization is generally more extreme, they will let people do some very out-of-the-ordinary things, for example, Kane had heard of such an incident before, there is a person who has been living in the shadow of fear because he killed a person by mistake many years ago, then a church member found him, said that if he joins the church, he can be redeemed, that person because of that incident all day long, so he agreed without hesitation, who knew that once he went, there was no news, a few years later a group of people found his body in a cave, when they found the whole body except for the head almost all the rest of the body has been gnawed by the rats in the caveLater, when he learned that he had gone to the church, the head of the church told him that if he wanted to be saved, he had to go through some suffering, and that the man he had killed had been reincarnated as a rat in a cave, but his resentment had not dissipated, and that he had to eliminate it unless the man fed it with his own flesh and blood until it died.
The fourth category is academic organizations, strictly speaking, today's major guilds can barely be counted as this category, but unlike guilds, they are generally more blind and arrogant, and the people who join the guild are generally people who are extremely outstanding in a certain discipline, and after getting together, they openly think that the world will be dominated by their academics, and they think that they are a group of people living in the future, so that some negative emotions will naturally arise, looking down on people in other disciplines, looking down on those in power, looking down on today's society, until they look down on everyone.
The people in this kind of organization are generally academic maniacs, and they are relatively autistic, and after getting together, they may be able to do academic research together or something, and gradually the topic of research will evolve into how to look down on others.
As for the last category, it is cranky, this type is more complicated, and the number of people is often small, generally some civil organizations, such as teaching you a set of magic after joining the association, you can be sick without looking for a priest, you can live forever, and you can even not eat, drink or sleep, or in order to achieve some purposes, you will fabricate a strange god at will and a group of people will worship there, there is no theory or miracle, and the worshippers don't know why they worship, but they just think that it is always a good thing to have one more god to take care of.
In general, these churches are more or less dark except for the first type, even if the first type has evolved for so long, how much the original founding purpose is still to be retained, even the Holy See is not exempt from vulgarity, and even Kane knows some very bizarre things, some churches are ostensibly under the banner of light, and every time they meet in private, they do something unsightly, which is not a secret in the aristocratic circle, many people would rather pay expensive entrance fees, not really have any faith, but some shady purposes, so Kane has always been more resistant to this kind of thingγ
