Chapter 486: Backer

"I really didn't expect you to be able to show so many believers, you have done something that even Slanberger has not done!" said Stan with emotion on his face, for them, the country of mercenaries is a place where water cannot be splashed, and most of the mercenaries are too lazy to believe in any doctrine, plus the joint resistance of several major mercenary groups, although the priests often operate in the country of mercenaries, it basically does not work. Looking at the hundreds of believers sitting and praying silently in the church, and then thinking of the attitude of the pedestrians on the road towards Warner when walking with Warner, Stan felt that the Warner in front of him was really unusual.

"Your Excellency, you are too much of a prize, it has nothing to do with my abilities, it is their desire for divine favor. Warner said lightly. An Fei once talked to him and told him to put on a high posture in everything, which would be very beneficial for him to recruit believers, and An Fei also told Ozgucci and the others to let them all give Warner some face.

Warner did what Anfei said, Anfei's attitude is the vane of the big league, the mercenaries suddenly appeared, Warner's status improved a lot, even if he met Anfei, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and the attitude of Ozgucci and other leaders towards Warner became very polite, and gradually more and more people believed in the Illuminati Sect, and some of them strictly said that they didn't believe that the God of Light would save anyone. Whoever they help is purely because of the change in Warner's identity, they can't get close to Ozgucci, and it's good for those leaders of the real power to get close to Warner, and it doesn't hurt them to believe in the doctrine, it's just a waste of time.

Seeing that Warner didn't have a bit of pride, Stan looked up at Warner a little more tentatively and asked, "There are mercenaries among your disciples...... Won't Lord Anfei interfere with you?"

"Lord Anfei has always had a great deal of respect for us priests. How can you interfere with me?"

"Respect?" Stan couldn't help but smile and shake his head. The change of the Holy See is only a change at the policy level, and the facts are always the facts, and An Fei killed hundreds of Light Priests and Light Knights at once in Zenglin City, and such ruthless methods do not seem to have anything to do with respect.

"I know why adults don't believe me. Warner said slowly, "But I think the adult's opinion is a bit extreme. In fact, Warner has been a little uneasy at this moment, although Stan's reputation is far less resounding than that of Slambergé, but he is a high priest after all, and his status is far higher than him. Thankfully, Warner has worked out. At the beginning, he listened to An Fei's words and changed his attitude towards the world, and when he saw An Fei, he just nodded or asked a good word without being salty, he was more worried then than now, but An Fei often encouraged him with a smile, and he never blamed him at all, and Ozgucci and others were even more polite to him. If it hadn't been for those previous exercises, he would probably be cowardly by now.

"Oh?"

"I've been with Master Amphi since the town of Moramachi, and I think I'm the most vocal. Warner said in an affirmative tone: "Lord Anfei has always regarded me as his friend, and later the Grand Knight of Fernando also came to the town of Moramachi, and Anfei's attitude towards the Grand Knight of Fernando is also very good, but it is a pity that the Bright Knight under Fernando is too arrogant, and he has repeatedly pointed fingers in front of Lord Amphi." My lord. On the other hand, what would you think if a mercenary often behaved rudely in front of you?"

"It can't be like this, right?" Stan asked with a frown, "Lord Fernando's territory is all highly trained Knights of Light, how can he be so rude?"

"Of course, they won't be rude in front of you, but outside they have forgotten the rules they must follow, and my lord An Fei walked out of Moramachi. I have always been by his side, and I can see everything that happened clearly, and I can swear with my life!"

Stan looked pensive.

"Even though Fernando's subordinates have repeatedly offended Lord Anfei, Master Anfei has not said anything hostile to the Holy See. He just said. Fernando didn't get along well, and he had to stay away from these people in the future. ”

"It seems...... The Holy See really needs to pay attention to etiquette in this regard. Don't get into trouble you shouldn't have. Stan smiled wryly.

"As for the matter of Zeng's birth in Green City, I think you should also understand the cause, in fact, I was by Lord Anfei's side at that time, and I also had the ability to prevent the tragedy, but I didn't do anything in the end. Warner saw that he could actually influence Stan Di's thoughts, and his emotions simply bragged.

"Why?" Stan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned sharp: "Mr. Warner, whether you admit it now or not, you are still a priest and a priest of the Holy See, they are all your former colleagues, can you bear to watch them be slaughtered?!"

"Hehe......" Warner showed a faint smile, and used laughter to ease the uneasiness in his heart, he felt that he had blown too much: "Lord Stan, why don't you want to think of the cause? It was they who joined forces with a great swordsman named De Cherette to assassinate Lord An Fei, God said that all beings are equal! Everyone who does something wrong must be punished! Not to mention that they have committed an unforgivable sin, Lord Stan, if it were you, would you really stop it?"

"Of course!" Stan said categorically, "After all, there are only a few people involved in the conspiracy, how can they slaughter all the Light Priests and Light Knights?!"

"I see...... As the High Priest of the Holy See, I really didn't expect you to be so short-sighted!" Warner sighed, he simply relented, he wouldn't return to the Holy See anyway. He can have today's status, even Stan will come to talk to him, but because he has the scroll of redemption in his hand, but the scroll of redemption should not belong to him, if he really goes back to the Holy See, there are a thousand or ten thousand reasons to take the scroll of redemption away, what is he at that time?

"I'm short-sighted?!" Stan said coldly.

"The conspiracy has been revealed, and the shameless actions of those light priests and knights have provoked the wrath of all the mercenaries, if I forcibly stop it...... Yes, with my friendship with Lord Ampy, I can keep most of the priests and knights, but have you ever thought about the future?" Warner's expression was even more indifferent than Stan's: "If I do this, Lord Ampi will think that I am the same kind of person as those priests, or that all priests are the same!Can I still maintain my friendship with Lord Ampi?Can I still be trusted by the mercenaries?Can I still recruit so many believers now?!"

Without waiting for Stan to reply, Warner was already arrogant and continued: "No! Lord Stan's connivance and protection is tantamount to tarnishing the brilliance of God! If I do as you say, the Holy See will leave an extremely bad impression on the people living in this land, and it will also have a long-term and bad effect!"

Stan was stunned for a moment.

"No matter what you accuse me or not, no matter what the Holy See thinks, I don't regret my decision. Warner's tone was a little heavy: "At least I can freely recruit believers here now, and with the support of Lord Anfei, give me a few more years, I can bathe the entire mercenary country under divine grace!"

Stan was touched again, being able to spread the doctrine and recruit believers in the country of mercenaries has always been the goal of the Holy See, but unfortunately it has always had little effect, looking at Warner's confident look, and then looking at the current effect, I think Warner is very serious. "My lord, I don't think you have read the doctrine seriously! Although we are priests, all beings are equal, and we are not more noble than mercenaries!" Warner pointed the finger at Stann: "An Fei's position among mercenaries is supreme! You might as well think about it, if the Pope is assassinated, will the Light Priests and Light Knights give the murderer a chance to justify?"

"Yes, the situation was very chaotic at that time, there must have been a lot of innocent people who didn't know what was born, but I think that instead of sympathizing with those innocents, it is better to focus on prevention, and not to let similar tragedies happen again! Not to mention, the anger of tens of thousands of mercenaries must be vented, and the anger of Lord An Fei must also be vented, before he was repeatedly offended by Fernando's Knight of Light, plus that assassination, I clearly know that Lord An Fei's patience has reached the limit. ”

Warner is trying to tell more and more about himself, and at the same time portrays himself as a wise person who thinks about the big picture.

"Perhaps...... You are right. Stan smiled wryly and then changed the subject: "Mr. Warner heard that you have activated the Redemption Scroll several times?"

"Yes, what?" Warner's expression became even more indifferent, in fact, An Fei's worries were unnecessary, even if he reached an agreement with the Holy See and gave an order, Warner would not hand over the scroll of redemption, absolutely not!

"Your Holiness the Pope has heard what happened to you......"

"By the time I was hunted down by my colleagues, I was no longer the priest I used to be. Warner interrupted Stan, "Now I'm just an ordinary person who is willing to spend his life spreading divine grace!"

"You're too careful. Stan smiled, "His Holiness the Pope said that everything is God's will. Hehe...... At that time, His Holiness did not know that you had achieved so much, otherwise His Excellency would have been more gratified. ”

"Why......" Warner was taken aback, and it took him a moment to react, Stan was implying that he had acquiesced to all this, and he almost looked grateful, but finally managed to control his expression in time.

If Warner is just a person, even if he really does what he says, he may not be able to get the acquiescence of the Holy See, the key is that he is an Anfei person!

An Fei's strength has risen extremely fast, in the minds of many people, he is already a saint-level powerhouse in the future, of course, the Holy See can't ignore this existence, not to mention that after Se Jialan was killed, Stan's faction has completely gained the upper hand, the past is over, and the task now is to repair the relationship with the Ma Empire and try his best to get close to An Fei, with these prerequisites, Stan will not force anything at all.
