Chapter 57: Won't Your Conscience Hurt (Two Chapters in One)

"Looks like you're having a lot of fun. Sitting side by side in a special carriage, the she-fox, no, Archbishop Judy teased, "If it weren't for the fact that your work was not only not delayed, but even completed ahead of schedule, I would have suspected that you were only here to go out and have fun." ”

"Heh, the two are not contradictory. With a holy smile, Shul waved his hand around, and then disappeared into the carriage again, and then said with a smile, "It is rare to have the opportunity to travel around all the known worlds, and if this year's time is only used for work, it will be too boring, tsk, if I don't have a good experience of those civilizations, I can't forgive myself." ”

The carriage was very large, even if twenty people sat in it, it was very spacious, and in the middle of the carriage was a high platform with a staircase, and when you climbed the high platform, you could peek out half of your body through the skylight on the roof, and at this time the two girls, Lisa and Delia, were standing on the high platform, welcoming the surprise from the Pavatiga.

In fact, although the clergy who came to greet them did not reveal anything, but only welcomed everyone into the carriage and said that they would wait until they returned to the city, as soon as they saw the special shape of the carriage, Shur had already guessed about it.

Sure enough, as soon as the carriage drove out of the newly built airport, Lisa was taken aback, similar to the atmosphere of the original brown star, the street outside the airport was also full of festive atmosphere, the residents of the rose capital stood on both sides of the street in an orderly manner, holding colorful flags of flowers, quietly waiting for the arrival of the carriage, as soon as they saw the carriage coming, the people broke out into violent cheers at the same time. Amid the cheers, the carriage slowly drove through the crowd, and children kept breaking free from their parents' hands and running to the carriage, jumping to give their favorite toys and candies to the people in the carriage as gifts.

Lisa was no stranger to such rituals, in the beginning, whenever the warriors who went out to conquer the battle, the lords would organize the lords to take to the streets to express their most sincere gratitude to the warriors who fought bravely for the city and the territory, and in the era of peace, although war became rare, the tradition did not disappear, and once the troops who had made great contributions to the territory and the country returned to the city, they could still experience the enthusiasm of the people of the Rose City.

If you think about it, there is no one more qualified to enjoy this treatment than Shul and his party, they are not just fighting bravely to kill the enemy, the purpose of their trip is to protect countless lives, to save the world from extinction, and the inhabitants of the Rose City welcome the return of the heroes on behalf of all the intelligent creatures of Pavatiga, well, it is only fitting that the inhabitants of the Rose City welcome the heroes.

But this has a premise, that is, the purpose of this trip is public, otherwise, even if the Rose family wants to organize the people, it may not be so easy, let alone let them burst out with heartfelt feelings.

"So...... It's already public?" Shul pulled a slit in the curtain and peeked out, "When did it start?"

"If you keep it hidden, something will happen. Opposite Shure, the old Bishop of Water, Lord Orana, said with a smile, "It was already open to the general public four months ago, otherwise you would not have seen such a grand occasion. Besides, don't you really stand up together? Although I know your intention to push her out on her own, it seems too deliberate for you to hide inside. ”

"That's why I just went out and showed my face. Shure shook his head absently, "That's good, it's the best choice for the church, for Lisa, and for me." ”

That's right, from the very beginning, Shul pushed Lisa and Delia out very irresponsibly, and the two girls stepped forward to face the enthusiastic people. His reason is very strong, this is the result of the Darkmoon Church and the Brown Star Civilization teaming up, with the help of the gods, the Darkmoon Church and the Brown Star Civilization are qualified to accept this reward, and they should not refuse or refuse it. And the person who accepts the reward is, of course, the two supreme spiritual leaders representing both sides, so as to show respect for the enthusiasm of the people, if he comes forward, it will seem that the Dark Moon Church is too arrogant, as if to show that the other party's enthusiasm is not worthy of our spiritual leader, and only deserves to let the subordinate characters come forward.

The reason that cannot be refuted at all, although everyone knows that he just wants to increase Lisa's prestige and fame, and by the way, he is lazy, but no one can find an excuse to oppose it, including Lisa, so although the girl wants her brother to enjoy this due honor, she has no choice but to pout, and reluctantly goes to the review stand.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a world live broadcast, heh, then it should be even more up to them, as for me...... It's no longer suitable. Shul lowered the curtain and gave an encouraging smile to Lisa, who was looking down, before whispering, "Looking at your actions, the situation is not good, and the abnormal changes have already begun?"

"Hmm. "Several of the archbishops who came to greet him were in the carriage, and no one was surprised by Shure's question, which he could see as a matter of course, and it would be surprising if he couldn't, but the answer to the question was obviously not so pleasant, and several of the big men frowned, only Archbishop Augusta, the apostle of Lord Sur, the sun god, twisted his beard and said softly, " The information you feed back from the dream is very effective and timely, and after you left, the temple sent oracles to the various forces, and began to recall the manpower outside the city, and at the same time strengthened the energy input of the heart of the city, some overextended forces, and even gave up some of the outer territories. ”

"Tsk, I'm going to be scolded to death. Shul shrugged his shoulders, not at all looking like he was about to be scolded.

"Hehe, in the first few months, there are indeed many high-level people in the forces who are dissatisfied, especially those who have to shrink their territories, and even some countries accept it on the surface, but secretly delay time. "Actually, we told them that what they do, it really doesn't matter to us, it's them who regret it when the time comes, but unfortunately they don't believe it, so six months ago, their attitude has changed radically." ”

"Stupid. Shur sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, hehe, I haven't lost a single person, at most some belongings." ”

"You guessed it, none of them died. Lord Minnie blinked narrowly and said meaningfully, "More than a dozen medium-sized towns were patronized by the sudden outbreak of the Great Rift, and most of the towns' residents have been evacuated without any impact, but there are two towns that have not been evacuated in time because of delay, but coincidentally, the two temple guards of the Night Sky Temple and the Forest Temple happened to pass nearby and saved those two towns in time. ”

"What a coincidence. Shul squinted his eyes and said with a smirk, "Fate is such a strange thing. ”

"What's even more coincidental, a great rift broke out in their capital at the same time, and Lord Augusta happened to be there at that time, urging the other party to execute the oracle as soon as possible, so when the rift broke out, he showed the power of Lord Sur and saved the capital city, heh, fortunately, otherwise it is estimated that they would not only have to change the king, but I am afraid that even the royal blood will have to be changed. ”

"Praise be to the Lord of the Sun, praise to a merciful fate. ”

Coincidental? No kidding, how could Shuer believe that the only possibility is that the Temple of the Gods predicted the location of the rift outbreak in advance, and sent a team to deal with it in advance, or even worse, they didn't know what method they used to induce the Great Rift to erupt in the three key places, but the latter's operability is too low, and the danger is too high, Xiuer estimates that it should be the first possibility, so that on the basis of not harming intelligent creatures, it will give a warning to those forces who are secretly delaying, and at the same time raise the strength of the Temple of Gods to a higher level。

As for whose proposal this is, Xiuer is no longer ready to bother thinking about it, such a method is estimated to be available to everyone here, and there is really no need to ...... Well, not everyone can do it, look at some little girl with silver light, Shul shook his head, sighed, shook his head again, and was kicked.

"After that accident, we didn't need to rush it. Lord Judy pretended not to see Shur being beaten for no reason, and said casually, "All the forces are actively shrinking to strengthen the defense of the heart of the city, but fortunately they reacted in time, if it is a little later, it will not be so lucky." ”

"How many more eruptions?"

"Well, now there will be a large-scale multi-point outbreak in about a month or two, much more frequent than before, and the scope of influence is also large, of course, you can't experience the kind of situation in your dream where there are several large-scale outbursts every day, and even the gods don't have time to deal with it in time, at least it's still within the controllable range now. Judy's face was a little heavy, and her voice became low, "But even so, there are still a few cities that have been affected in the past six months, although the cities have not been completely destroyed, but there are thousands of intelligent beings who have died directly, after all, we can't predict the time and location of the rift outbreak every time." ”

You admit it, you have already admitted it directly, Shuer pouted, but he didn't say anything, because he knew very well the mood of these high-ranking priests. As half-politicians, they have to do a lot of things, but as clergy, their love for believers is genuine, God loves the world, and they are the same, and when they see the suffering of mortal beings, they inevitably sink into sorrow, as they do now.

"The rifts erupt so often that most people already feel that something is wrong, more than one force has asked the Temple of Gods, and although the methods are light or dark, the problem is the same. Archbishop Orlana sighed and went on for Judy, "They want us to ask the Holy Spirit for advice on the unusual situation, but they want to know what is wrong. ”

"No wonder ......," Shure nodded thoughtfully, "no wonder you said that if you keep it hidden, something will happen." ”

Yes, Shur also knows that this situation is indeed not suitable for concealing the truth anymore, if it is only to the extent of now, then it can continue to conceal it, the problem is that the situation will continue to deteriorate, more and more serious, if you can't hide it or even wait until the people themselves find out about the problem before making it public, it will not only seriously affect the credibility of the churches, but also directly shake the believers' faith in the gods, even if the gods say anything at that time, mortals will leave a doubt in their hearts, and they will not believe unconditionally as they do now.

So the best way now is to selectively inform the truth, not to the top level of each country, but to all intelligent beings, so that they know the crisis that the world is facing now.

Theoretically, this is a very dangerous behavior, and while it is true that the common enemy may bring mortals closer together, mortals are vulnerable, and once they know that the end is imminent, it is not surprising that they will make any stupid moves, so whether it is Shur or other high-ranking priests, they tend to hide the truth as much as possible, which is actually a protective measure for the mortals themselves.

However, the leaders of the Temple of God do not need to have these concerns, they can rest assured that they will be open to the truth, and they will not have to worry about the bad effects of the news of the end times, because ......

"So I was pushed out to be targeted, right? Shul rolled his eyes, leaned back in his chair and said dissatisfiedly, "Not only me, but even the Brown Star Man has been pushed out as a target." ”

Indeed, the higher-ups are not worried about inducing chaos, and the fleets of the Browns and Shul are the two biggest dependents.

The existence of otherworldly civilizations can greatly distract the attention of the mortals of Pavatiga, look, the Great Rift is not so terrifying, these civilizations live in the Great Rift, and even live better than us, so you can rest assured, it's a big deal for everyone to enter the Great Rift together as neighbors. It doesn't matter, we have strengthened our ties and organized many visits, and you have all seen them in person, to see their advanced technology, to see their comfortable and convenient equipment, to see their beautiful tentacles and eyes...... Well, in short, your eyes will not deceive you, they are all civilizations that have experienced the end of the world, and they will tell you in person that although the end of the world is dangerous, you can still live.

If you think this is not enough, it doesn't matter, there is also the advance team of Shuer, really, what are you mortals worried about, everything is under control, there is no loss of control at all, we have all the countermeasures, we have sent a large number of people, ready to deal with it, once it is ready, all the problems will be solved, so you just need to wait for them to triumph with peace of mind.

It must be admitted that with these two pieces of news, the impact of the end of the world can be offset to the greatest extent, no matter how pessimistic people are, after knowing these two things, I am afraid they will not fall into despair, the question is......

"Doesn't your conscience hurt to take advantage of a group of companions who are working hard outside, and hide it from them?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Our bodies and minds have long been given to the Lord, well, including our conscience. ”
