"Odd?"

Rod looked up at Wen Sa, but the essence in his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had already guessed in his heart.

"Yes. ”

Wen Sa bowed slightly, then took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms, spread it out on the table in front of the sofa, and there were dense words on it, only to see Wen Sa pointing to one of the columns of names and said,

"According to the results of the partial investigation by the Imperial intelligence officers, these hundreds of people are all registered believers of the Ancestor Sect when it appeared, and they are civilians who have no cultivation in the country at the top of the country. ”

After a pause, I saw Wen Sa's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice,

"The Ancestral Sect has a history of five hundred and sixty-two years, and yet these believers are still alive today!"

Is that really the case?

Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and when he saw Wen Sa saying that this peak country and the Ancestor Sect were a little strange, he had already guessed this result in his heart.

Now that this information is in front of him, Wen Sa's previous behavior finally has a reason.

As he said before, Wen Sa was young, and common sense would not care about the ethereal things of eternal life, only when the real and tangible facts were in front of him, he would be shocked about the things of eternal life.

Have the common believers who joined the Church from the beginning of the Church have survived to the present day?

Rhodes thought secretly in his heart, and his fingers slowly tapped on the table, this is indeed a magical thing, after all, the people who have not cultivated on the Oude Continent, their average life expectancy is about eighty years old, and if they want to live for five or six hundred years, even ordinary ninth-order powerhouses can't do it.

Not only that, but these hundreds of people are only some of the believers collected by the empire, and I am afraid that there are more similar believers.

And Rod asked himself, even if he has a system, he can't do such a thing, it seems that this Ancestor Sect is not simple.

"Your Majesty, this Ancestor Sect is indeed a bit strange, and it is indeed unimaginable that it can make ordinary people who have no cultivation live for more than five hundred years. ”

After being silent for a moment, Rhodes looked at Wen Sa, with a firm look in his eyes, and said slowly,

"But I can be sure that the patriarchal doctrine of eternal life is a lie, and these believers are not immortal. ”

It may be possible to let one or two people have a long lifespan, but the Ancestor Religion is the state religion of the top country, and there are hundreds of thousands of its followers, and it is absolutely impossible to let hundreds of thousands of them have a long lifespan.

If the method of eternal life of this Ancestor Sect is really so magical, I am afraid that the people of the entire continent will have to believe in this Ancestor Sect, how can it be nested in a small country.

Moreover, this Ancestral Religion has been developing for 562 years now, and if all believers in this Ancestral Religion can attain eternal life, then most of the people of the Ancestral Religion will probably be able to live forever.

Just imagine, for hundreds of years, this country has only had a birth rate, but no death rate, so how perverted will the natural growth rate of the population of the top country be, and how terrifying will the population of the top country be? I am afraid that the national order of the top country will also be difficult to stabilize, right?

However, the top country does not seem to have such a problem, which means that many people must have died in these hundreds of years, and the number is still quite large, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain a balance between population and society.

So, these so-called eternal believers are not in the majority, and there must be some other reason for their long life, and there can never be any legitimate reason.

"Dao Ancestor is above. ”

Thinking of this, Rod got up slowly, first prayed to Dao Ancestor, then looked at the distant sky outside the window, was silent for a moment, and said slowly,

"Your Majesty, I have decided to go to this pinnacle country to find out!"

............................................................................................................

Seven days later, an ordinary carriage drove out of the Xuandao Cathedral, passing through the busy streets of Bluestone Town, without causing any sensation, and left through the city gate quietly.

No one thought that no one would have noticed, that in this ordinary carriage there was a great person they had been longing for.

It was none other than the Taoist Pope, Rhodes.

After discussing the matter of the Peak Country and the Ancestor Sect with Wen Sa that day, Rhodes had always had a grudge against the secret of the Ancestor Sect's 'eternal life', and after thinking for a while, he was ready to go directly to the Peak Country to find out.

At that time, Wen Sa wanted to go together, but how could the emperor of the Auckland Empire be lazy from time to time like Rhodes, and he had already set off to return to the imperial capital that afternoon, feeling quite regretful and helpless.

Because he did not have the exact location of this top country, it was difficult for Rhodes to use any door to go directly to the top country, so he had to drive a carriage to go.

Of course, there is also a reason why Rod wants to be lazy.

Some time ago, a series of big events really made Rod tired, although all kinds of complicated and trivial things were actually handled by the people below, but Rod was still lazy in the name of business trips without shame.

After instructing the Daoist-related development plan to Ize, Jerph, Arudiba and other Taoist high-ranking officials, Rhodes sorted out his salutes and went out.

The development of Taoism is getting faster and faster, and there are more and more cumbersome affairs, Yi Ze and others are very busy, and Rhodes naturally will not take them out, so as not to affect the development of the sect.

"Your Excellency the Pope, the top country is known as the country of eternal life, is it possible that the people in it can really live forever?"

A childish voice sounded in the carriage, and I saw a slightly young man talking excitedly.

The person who spoke was Xia, and with the continuous development of Taoism, Jelf didn't have so much time to discipline him, and Xia was usually very idle in the church, either practicing with Poseidon or playing around with the bear, so he went out with Rhodes again.

"Xia, we're going to get down to business with the Pope, not to play. ”

On the other side, another voice sounded, it was also a teenager.

"Got it, Poseidon, you're the most verbose. ”

Xia scratched his head and said to the young man in front of him.

The young man who just spoke was Poseidon, since the mermaid matter was resolved, Poseidon followed Rhodes back to the Xuandao Cathedral, and cultivated beside Jelf, his strength has grown greatly, and now he can freely transform into a human form.

It's just that Poseidon's experience is still quite insufficient, so Rod also brought him with him this time, and is ready to train Poseidon on the road, which can be regarded as a little arrangement for some future plans.

As for the little bear who would accompany him before, he was not in the ranks of the team, under Rod's arrangement, the little bear was responsible for the development of some related affairs with the elf clan, and he was also a busy man.

Therefore, taking Xia and Poseidon with him, Rhodes and his party began to march towards the country of the top of the world, known as the country of eternal life.
