If people don't have faith, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

Luo Xiaotian didn't know who said this, but what was certain was that he didn't walk down the street while watching the people around him crackle into a pile of salted fish, whether in this world or in another world.

However, faith is really a power in this world.

Those who truly believe in the God of Light and dedicate their whole hearts to the God of Light have all received the power given by the God of Light, and the divine magic given by the God of Light, just like the name of the God of Light, symbolizes the opposite of the dead spirit and the darkness. Believers in the God of Light fight to dispel darkness and destroy evil.

Undoubtedly, this is a great power, and when these forces are gathered, it is the only Holy See in this world that is recognized by the true God, and as for why the true God?

Neither the goddess of harvest or nature, which farmers and horticulturists tried to believe, nor the goddess of wealth, which merchants tried to believe, brought any power. The former turned to the Cult of the Illuminati, hoping to be blessed by it, while the latter certainly could not believe in the Cult of the Illuminati, and the nobles would not give a follower of the Cult of the Illuminati a good face.

However, on the surface, the rulers led by the aristocracy and the Holy See, which has a large number of followers, seem to live in harmony and work together, after all, it is impossible for each side to fail to destroy the other without enough strength and courage to destroy the other.

As for mages, what do you think of the Church of Light regarding the necromancy recognized by the Wizards' Guild? Mages and nobles are natural allies of this world.

Necromancers hate mad believers who shout and kill at the sight of them, as if these believers believe that if they can bite into those filthy evils, they can enter the arms of the Lord even if they die.

Of course, most of the believers are not so crazy, like Bishop Wilmot in front of him.

"Your Excellency, I apologize to you for some unexpected things that have delayed my trip. ”

"Hehehe, why do you have to do this, your Excellency, it is already a great honor for us to be able to come here to participate in this banquet. I don't know what's going on? Can I help?"

"Thanks to your kindness, it's not a big deal, we can solve it ourselves. Hehe, sorry for interrupting the party, why don't we continue?"

"Of course, Bishop, please feel free!"

He didn't enthusiastically introduce anyone to Bishop Wilmot, after all, everyone was a figure at the top of the pyramid of Fink City, and there was no need to do such a thing.

"Alice, do you think they're tired of talking like that! And that laugh sounds fake. ”

Nina stuffed her roasted wings into her mouth as she took the time to hand Jasmine a red fruit.

"Nina, don't talk until you eat, don't forget that you're a nobleman. Well, this is probably to express an attitude, as far as I know, the relationship between the Illuminati and the great nobles has not been very good recently, it seems that because of the previous Bill of Rights, some people believe that it was the Illuminati who instigated some representatives of the House of Representatives, and then secretly incited the people, so that this bill appeared in everyone's sight. ”

"Really, the Cult of the Radiant God dares to interfere with the regime in such a grand manner?"

"Who knows, in short, there is such a possibility, so some nobles have also made many dominating moves against the Cult of Light, and there have been many conflicts, you must know that the Cult of Illuminati has never lacked fanatical believers. Looks like it's spreading to Fink City?"

"Ahh Don't talk about that, Alice, try this grilled chicken wings, they're delicious!"

"When did you become a foodie?... I remember when you were a kid you weren't interested in any of that, and besides, Ronald, your hair started dripping. ”

“... What can I do, I'm desperate, if it weren't for Nina giving Jasmine food all the time, I would still have a way. Anyway, Jasmine, how much more do you want to eat?!"

......

"Lord Bishop, I'm going to sue Viscount Jay Dalton!"

It seemed that today's party must not be able to go on properly, and the town hall was once again dominated by silence.

"Who is this man?

Of course, Luo Xiaotian's side was also attracted by the sudden situation, and even Alice, who had always been calm and composed, showed such surprise, it seems that this person who made the accusation was really bold.

"Huh, Ronald, don't you think this guy looks familiar?"

“... What familiar... This is Olivia you told me!"

That's right, the girl who is becoming the focus of everyone is Luo Xiaotian and Nina's classmate, Olivia Nicol, who won the first place in this exam.

And the other party, Viscount Jay Dalton, who was the focus, did not come to today's banquet, otherwise, I don't know what kind of expression would be on his face?

"Oh, my child, what do you want to accuse Viscount Dalton?"

"Bishop Wilmot, I don't think it's the right time or place to do this, and besides, this kind of thing should be within our purview!"

Mayor Glynton Walpole reacted in time, and if this accusation had taken place at a banquet that had gathered so many nobles in Fink City, it would have been the biggest scandal of the year.

"Oh, then, little girl, are you a devout follower of the Cult of the Illuminati?"

"I am! I have sworn to serve the God of Light for the rest of my life!"

"So, why not file a complaint with the town hall?"

"I don't trust the lackeys of the nobles, they are all in a gang! I used up all my family savings and handed them over, and they finally told me that if the commoners want to sue the nobles, they must get the support of the other nobles!"

"Lord Mayor, do we have such a decree or regulation in the Bauhinia Empire, or is it unique to Fink City?"

“... I think it must be a misunderstanding... There are always some black sheep in City Hall. As the mayor of Fink City and the Imperial Earl, I promise you that I will personally deal with this accusation against Jay Dalton, and I hope you, as a citizen of Fink City, will you make the right judgment?"

"No, I am a citizen of God!"

"Hehehe, as one of the spokesmen of the God of Light on earth, I have the right and obligation to listen to His people, so... Mayor Walpole? What other questions do you have?"

“... At least, you can at the rest of the time..."

God's authority is with us, wherever and at all times. Little girl, tell me your name first. ”

"Olivia... My name is Olivia Nicol!"

"So, tell me what you want to accuse, and trust me, God will hear everything you say. ”

“... My dad was in charge of the taxes on Jay Dalton's farm, and everything was fine, it was a decent and well-paid job, and the farmers on the farm were very nice... But Jay Dalton, that scumbag, had a crush on my mother, he framed my father for embezzling taxes from the farm, threw him in jail, and took my mother... If I hadn't lived at the school, I would have been taken away by them. The farmers couldn't do anything, they had to wait for me to come back and tell me the truth..."

"Those peasants? How can they know the facts? They can't even read!"

The mayor of Walpole had no choice but to find a way to debunk the "hoax".

"Mayor, please be patient. I believe what this little girl says, come on, Olivia, and keep talking. ”

"That's because Jay Dalton didn't cover it up at all... He even told my dad the truth when he was taken away!"

"How is your father doing?"

“... I don't know, I can't see him at all, and after I give all my family savings to the people at the town hall, I can't give the money to the people who care about the cell..."

"Mayor Walpole, I think you need to tidy up the town hall in Fink City, it seems... There are more than one or two black sheep. ”

"Hmph! That's not something for you to consider, Bishop Wilmot! Besides, I'm afraid you can't prove what this girl said. ”

"Oh, is that so, Olivia, do you have any proof to prove your words? Although I believe that what you say is true, if you want these people here to believe you, you must have proof. ”

"The evidence... The farmers who heard what Jay Dalton said to my father that day were willing to testify for me!"

"It's not enough!

“... Also, a kind magician passing by recorded the picture of Jay Dalton's own confession with a magical image!"

......

"Ridiculous! ridiculous!"

"Alice?"

After Olivia's words, almost everyone present, whether commoners or nobles, could no longer remain calm. And Alice, who was beside Luo Xiaotian, couldn't help but show a mocking expression.

"Magician, kind, passing by, what a clumsy way!"

"They're lying?"

"Maybe it's not lying, it's just that everyone doesn't know their role in this farce. You must know that detecting lies is a magic technique of the Cult of the Illuminati, and they will not slap themselves in the face with such a lie that can be broken at the first poke. ”

"Detect lies?And this magic spell?!"

"Why is your focus in such a place... Yes, because there is no way to decipher how this magic works, and the Wizards' Guild can't create similar magic, only the Cult of Light has this kind of magic. ”

"Isn't that all of us without any secrets?

“... Although there is no way to imitate it, the Wizards' Guild has found a way to block this magical effect. What I want to say is that if this time it is planned by the Cult of Light, then it is really a good move. It's just a pity that your classmate Olivia can only be a victim in the end. ”
