The young bishop came to the Count's castle and was treated with due courtesy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He was proud and felt that it was a manifestation of the majesty of the goddess.

Although he was not a believer in the goddess of the harvest, the Count did not despise the somewhat down-and-out bishop. Those who can become nobles, especially those who become nobles by their own ability, have a bearing that is consistent with their status.

He so warmly invited the bishop to the dinner, even though he had no idea what he was trying to do.

Until now, there was an unspeakable confusion in the mention of the young bishop, even the sacrifices of the goddess of the harvest.

No one doubted his reverence for the goddess, and even though he ended up poking out such a large basket, the church still believed that his original intention was to repair the temple and promote the glory of the goddess, and not to satisfy some of its own desires.

Of course, the church also acquiesced to his low emotional intelligence.

At the feast, the young bishop rebuked the count for his uncooperation, and ordered him to pay the taxes to the temple before a certain deadline, and to go to the temple himself to confess to the goddess before the next harvest sacrifice.

In such a situation, the banquet naturally broke up, and the bishop was driven out by the earl, and he was embarrassed.

Will he give up? Of course not!

The indomitable bishop gave an incendiary speech in the square, in which he creatively denounced the count as a heretic.

In fact, the term "heresy" in the material world is used only to refer to sinners whose souls have been seduced by demons.

Neither Thakens nor unbelievers can be called heretics. No god would dare to say that, as it would lead to unnecessary wars and other troubles.

But the young bishop was not afraid, and not only did he say this, but he even openly denied the count's nobility, and said that he would be punished by the goddess!

It must be said that the young bishop pulled a good hate, not only for himself, but also for the goddess of the harvest.

As for his fate, he was hanged in the square by order of the Count, where he had just spoken.

Killing the believers of the goddess is naturally not a trivial matter, not to mention that the sacrificial class at that time was stepping on the aristocratic class. After many sacrifices violated the legal code, the nobles who were lords did not have the right to deal with them, and could only hand them over to the temple.

Therefore, the proud Harvest Temple immediately denounced the earl as a heretic, and even declared that it would judge him.

The wrath of the goddess also fell at the first time, and the entire territory could not get a decent harvest from the land for three years.

But they all miscalculated, and the Earl, who had fought to the death to win a title from the battlefield with a foreign race, was much more resolute and crazy than they had imagined.

Mortals can't resist the wrath of the gods, but demons are different.

Yes, under the "persecution" of the temple, this Lord Earl resolutely threw himself into the arms of the demons, no, it should be said that he took the entire territory into the hands of the demons.

In the same square, in the same place, the Count convened a speech.

He didn't use the rhetoric like a bard, nor did he speak sharply like a bishop. All he has is sincerity, and the madness that is peculiar to humanity after being cornered.

The Blood Sacrifice began.

Domestic animals, slaves, sinners, outcasts, and homeless beggars were sacrificed, and the entire territory participated.

Of course, there are also those who do not cooperate, and those who do not cooperate become sinners and then become sacrifices.

In this respect, the demons are much more "generous" than the gods. The gods require that the believers must be self-believing, free souls and consciousnesses, and the demons are never picky, so they don't care what the blood sacrifice is or how it comes from, as long as there are enough of them, they can bring chaos to the main plane!

Neither the gods nor the people themselves had a basic understanding of the human race, but the Earl taught them a lesson in how efficient humans can be when they work together.

On the third day of the temple's declaration of the Count as a heretic, and on the fifth day of the gods' punishment, the entire blood sacrifice was completed.

You know, the guy they chose is not a low-level product, after all, that group of brainless garbage is afraid that the first time they descend on the Overworld, they will eat the people who hold the sacrifice ceremony as desserts.

And those who have basic credibility are all high-level demons, and the blood sacrifices required are naturally very large.

The Count and his lords chose a demon archduke, a powerful demon whose physical strength was even greater than that of the Harvest Goddess.

Although it was only a projection of him that came to the main world, unless a god with powerful divine power sent an incarnation to come, it would be difficult for anyone in the entire material continent to be able to kill this projection.

Like the High Demons, the demigods can only send avatars to the Overworld when dealing with certain matters. But unlike the High Demons, each of their incarnations is incomparably precious, unlike the demons who have a constant stream of projections as long as there are enough blood sacrifices.

The Harvest Goddess is only a god with medium divine power, and although the incarnations of all gods and the projections of high demons are all demigod ranks, the gap in the comprehension of the rules can definitely make the strong easily kill the weak.

So, when a bishop of the Temple of Harvest led a team to get rid of heresy, he was met by the demon Grand Duke who had just descended here......

The bishop's face turned green, although the crime they set for the count was to collude with demons and kill the believers of the gods, but they didn't expect that they really encountered demons, and it was still an enhanced version......

The rest of the matter is simple, the projection of the Demon Grand Duke set off a bloody storm on the material continent, and was finally killed by the incarnation of the Lord of the Dawn.

The mad Earl had already been put on the gallows, and all the people of his realm had been exiled.

Of course, in fact, there are not many people left, although the Demon Grand Duke will not deliberately target these sacrificers, but he will never care about their life or death, and it is naturally impossible to contain the aftermath of his battle for them.

Although the earl died, the nobles began to openly rebel against the divine power, and some of the hot-tempered nobles even sent people to some deserted places far from their own territory to perform blood sacrifices. Anyway, it can't endanger his territory, so he should find something to do for the temple.

Regardless of whether it is not, order does not tolerate the defilement of chaos, which is the bottom line of all gods. But it's not easy to manage, these nobles are not all unbelievers, many of them are followers of a certain god.

Until there is evidence, other gods are not to act rashly, and even more so the gods he believes in cannot be doubted without reason.

Of course, the gods knew who did the thing, but it was difficult to come up with a reason that convinced the people of the entire territory, and if they killed the nobles, the trouble caused by the large number of civilians would be a headache even if they were instigated by the well-intentioned.

This is probably the most commendable place for human beings, who can reverently rub the idols of the gods while indifferently sacrificing the altar of demons with blood.

Finally, the aristocratic class completely broke the restrictions of the temple and became the upper class of human society. With the acquiescence of the gods, the priests of the temple could only stand aside and obey the rule of the nobles.

From then on, the order of the human race was truly determined, with the nobles restricting the temple and managing the commoners, and the temple supervising the nobles, and the commoners holding the two up, forming the first cornerstone of stability.

The legal code became an authority, and the sacrifice became an alternative commoner. The temple is no longer on top, at least most of the time.

Time passed in Mephistopheles' memories of the history of the Material Continent, and the man he was waiting for finally came out of the mansion.

Compared to before, the Earl of Bronque was much thinner, and his sharp eyes were a little scattered and cloudy.

This is a normal thing, because just a month ago, he lost two sons at the same time......

The Earl of Bronk walked past Mephistopheles, but his gaze did not deflect even the slightest angle, as if he could not see him.

Mephistopheles smiled and followed.

Now that things have changed, Mephistopheles naturally needs to change her plans as well.

If Bell is his agent, then the Earl of Bronc must live in peace, because only in this way can Bell grow up better.

However, now that Mephistopheles was going to play on his own, there was no need for this poor man who occupied the position of earl.
