In Townsend's view, the Radiant Church's mission house was a good place to address the lack of money and resources. As a criminal who has been trained for a long time, he has the advantage, he has internal responses, small goals, comes and goes like the wind, often changes the target of the crime and does not sell dirty, he should be very safe.

But Townsend didn't know what a terrifying force he was encroaching on, and he didn't know that what he was doing would cause a subtle chain reaction in the distance...... As an individual, a mission with only two or three priests is small, but as a whole, the Radiant Church is of an unusual size.

Yes, the Church of Radiance is the largest and oldest organization in the world, and there is no one!

On November 19, 1438 (527 in the new calendar), stacks of reports were neatly placed according to the distribution of dioceses.

In the bright morning light, on the huge crimson cherry wood tabletop, these reports of different cover colors form a simple and expressive shape.

This is the distribution map of the church's power that is tangled in interests and power, hatred and ** rushing, gorgeous and ugly to the point of suffocation!

The clerks bowed their heads respectfully, and although they stood around the corner line of the office, they could always keep their eyes on the stack of reports they were responsible for.

Because this is the morning meeting of the bishop's office, the clerks can only present the most serious or urgent matters, and they must attach an analysis of the incident and the handling of the matter, and even the entanglements of 800 years ago must be sorted out for the decision of the rotating bishops. Therefore, the level of detail and analytical accuracy of these reports is directly linked to their competency assessment.

Evaluations are important, and although here they are only clerks, when one day they go out of the Holy City, the crown they wear on their heads is at least the rank of Bishop of the Duchy.

The largest stack of reports was found in the central diocese of the mainland, the "private courtyard" of the chief clerk, who did not allow any colleague to interfere. Because in the central diocese, the forces of the Radiant Church and the Guild of Psychic Teachers, and the alliances and kingdoms are entangled with each other, and there are constant open and secret battles, and the grievances and hatreds can be traced back more than ten centuries.

But at the same time, the central parish is also the area of greatest interest.

Next, there are the four dioceses in the southeast, north, and west that surround the center of the continent, although they are secondary, but because of their large jurisdictional areas and complex local powers, they also have a large number of entanglements of interests, and the third level is the dioceses of the Far East, the Lower South, and the Far North, which are also important within the Church because of their connection with the ocean-going routes and archipelagos beyond the mainland...... Along the way, those areas with barren land and ignorance and uncivilized will naturally fall into the ranks of marginalization.

The smallest number of reports came from the remote Confederation of Andorra dioceses, and were run by newly promoted clerks. In fact, the Diocese of the Union of Andorra is not the lowest, it is a little better than the diocese of the West Coast, at least it has a full-time clerk.

There is no power in the Glorious Church on the West Coast, and the Church has set up this name only to show that the mercy of the true God shines on the earth.

"It was an unfortunate thing to see the Commissioner of the Andorran Union in the early morning. Through the golden velvet screen, an old and tired voice echoed through the palatial room, sounding empty and twilight, but no one dared to ignore it: "Forgive my child, I should say, something unfortunate has befallen the Andorran Union? ”

Yes, apart from a small rebellion that was doomed to failure, Andorra was indeed quiet and peaceful, like a pool of stagnant water.

"I beg your pardon for not being able to bring good news to His Majesty. The clerk of the Andorran Union hung his head: "But the news is not too bad. ”

"I'll take a closer look, everyone step down. The bishop sat down behind the table, leaving only the clerk close to him. His wrinkled hand hesitated above the document for a moment, then finally picked up the report from Andorra, looked at it in silence for a moment, and let out a sigh.

God says we need to look through the subtle and intricate details to see the truth that lurks beneath the surface...... It seems that the influence of the Church in Andorra has declined, and a small rebellion of a thousand people has spread more and more. ”

The open report is placed on the table, and the clerk on the side can see the contents on it, as well as the commissioner's collation and analysis.

...... In early October of the year 1438, the Principality of the Diocese of Andorra received a report that a trainee priest named Auston Christopher had mysteriously disappeared in the city-state of Kenta. Later that same month, also in the city-state of Kentah, not far from the place where the trainee priest disappeared, a seventh-level mission of the Glorious Church was looted and burned, and the resident priest and a trainee priest (female) were bound naked in a coma and abandoned outside the temple square.

...... In early October of the year 1438, a sixth-level mission of the Radiant Church in the city-state of Kenta was set on fire, and its belongings were emptied, and three resident priests and four guards were wounded and knocked unconscious, waking up unable to provide useful clues about the attackers...... Five days later, another nearby sixth-level mission was burned down again, in the same way.

All told, the Glorious Church has lost three missions, more than 3,300 gold coins, 16 people have been wounded, and one is missing.

Several of the church missions in which the incident occurred were located in the same area, were subordinate or sibling, and were all located within the town, and were supposed to have been raided by gangs of no less than ten people. In addition, from the perspective of time and route, it is also in line with the characteristics of the same gang committing crimes continuously. The possibility of the crime cannot be completely ruled out, but tracing the background and consistent performance of the first missing Auston Christopher, and the time when this person arrived in the city-state of Kentah, it is unlikely that he was directly involved in the crime or colluded with the bandits to commit the crime.

The perpetrators' methods are very close to those of the rebels, and they are very careful to operate secretly, and no eligible gang has been found. Considering the successive military defeats of the rebels in the Duchy of Langston, the scope of activity gradually shifted to the Duchy of Jassi, most likely the rebels who had entered the Duchy in advance - the losers were not only in dire need of funds, but also urgently needed to create trouble to gain momentum.

At the end of the report, the Andorran commissioner suggested that although the Principality of Yaxiu was remote and backward, it was necessary to deal with it decisively and resolutely in order to maintain the image of the Church, otherwise the situation would become more and more small, and more small mission sites would be attacked by imitators - at the beginning of this year, some Church knights and a certain Psychic had a battle on the border between Jashyan and Langston, which not only further reduced the odds of victory or defeat in the battle against the Psychic this year, but also greatly weakened the Church's control and influence in the local area.
