Ten streets, sewer outlets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is dry, and the sky is dry and the day is set on fire. A well at an intersection on Ten Street leads to the sewer, and when Alucca arrived according to the map, Thor was already waiting at the well. From a distance, the fat figure in the dark night looks like a vicious beast, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

Walking closer, Arouca snorted, "Sorry, sorry, late." I can't afford a pocket watch, I can't see the time~"

Thor was wearing a red and white mask painted with strange totems on his face, and he handed Aluka a mask of the same kind, not angry at Aluka's lateness: "In order to prevent you from coming late, the time I told you was half an hour earlier, so don't worry, you put on the mask first." ”

Aruka seemed to play with the mask curiously, but in fact he was checking whether the mask was drugged, and when he was sure it was safe, he put the mask on and asked, "Why do you wear a mask?"

"On the one hand, it is to prevent spies from infiltrating the Holy Religion and recognizing the identities of the Catholics......," Thor glanced at Arouca meaningfully, and then said, "On the other hand, it is to distinguish the Catholics' mentors. For example, if you wear the same mask as me, I am your guru. If I can take fifty apprentices, I can be promoted to priesthood. ”

Oh...... Aluca always felt like she had seen this pattern somewhere...... Isn't it just a pyramid scheme? No wonder these people are so desperate that when it comes to brainwashing ability, they can't even compare the terrifying nine-year compulsory education to the pyramid schemes.

"That'...... Do you want to pay the money?" asked Aluca, recalling the MLM organization's routines.

"Young people, don't insult us, we are a noble sect united by a common belief and philosophy, which is completely different from the red religion that only knows how to accumulate wealth and seize power. Thor replied earnestly.

"I want to join more and more. Aluca replied casually, not believing it at all.

Aluka followed Thor down the ladder of the well to the sewers, which stenched with the stench of corruption. The environment in this place is indeed a bit terrible, with rats infested, rivers full of garbage, and the occasional human limb floating in the filthy water...... They were insiders who had been disposed of by the major trade unions in the slums. Dealing with the anti-bones, whether it is a beggar gang, a killer guild or a thief union, there is only one way to deal with it - a decisive decision. Only the mercenary union, which is still legally organized on the surface, will take the method of expelling the mercenary status, but secretly it will still entrust the killer union to solve the trouble.

It must be mentioned here that regional mercenaries like Aluca and Sinoon will not register with the mercenary union if they do not join the mercenary group themselves. Only members of the Mercenary Regiment are eligible for badges certified by the Mercenary Guild, and they are entitled to various types of assistance according to their ranks, which are divided into Iron Sword, Steel Sword, Silver Sword, Crystal Sword, and Holy Sword. If something happens to a mercenary at the Holy Sword level, the mercenary union will even go to the expense of confronting the imperial court head-on. But the regional mercenaries don't have this benefit, and life and death are in their own destiny.

Thor pulled out a cloth bag from his bosom, and when he opened it, there was a pile of black powder that emitted a pungent smell. He sprinkled the powder into the air, and he could see the pale red signposts on the sewer walls. The sign fades after only a few seconds, eliminating the possibility of being followed.

Thor explained as he led the way, "The Bone Eaters meet once a week, and the location is different, and you need to use this kind of blood and bone powder from the priests to know the route, so you don't have to worry about the meeting place being discovered by the guards. ”

With the thought of listening more and talking less, Aluka nodded and remained silent. Saul only when he was nervous and did not doubt.

The two of them walked down the sewer for a few minutes, and their noses gradually began to adjust to the smell. After walking around a corner, Aluka saw a fire in an open area in front of him, and it was crowded with people, presumably the meeting place of the Bone Eaters.

As the two got closer and closer, Aluka could already see that the area of the meeting place was not small, and the number of people present was at least three hundred. It's no wonder that the Bone Eater Sect is not afraid of mixing in spies, the meeting place is different every time, and the number of people is large, and it is impossible to mix in a few people...... It's a pity that today there is a guy who is not a "human".

A makeshift wooden platform was erected at the meeting place, and everyone in the audience was silent. "Later, the Pope will personally lead us in prayer and explain the doctrine, followed by a meeting time for the faithful, where you will have the opportunity to meet like-minded friends," Sol explained to Aluca. ”

Aluka nodded, and said secretly in her heart: "If I can find like-minded friends here...... Then these people have long since been sublimated from a cult to a terrorist organization. ”

After dozens of people came one after another, a man wearing a blood-colored robe and a white mask walked up to the temporary wooden platform, raised his hands flat, and said solemnly: "The god of spirit bones is immortal!"

The audience responded in unison: "Your Excellency, practice the Dharma on behalf of God!"

"Hey...... These people still have a decent ......," Aruka said to himself, "in the paradise of rats and garbage, he prayed to the gods very earnestly, and felt that he was doing the right thing for heaven...... I'm curious about their thinking circuits...... Will the true gods come to this place?"

And Arouca had long noticed that they addressed the Pope by an adult, not a crown. In the final analysis, this group of people is still afraid of the power of the Red Sect, and subconsciously feels that the Bone Devouring Sect Pope cannot afford the word "crown". This is like a group of rebels who are not advanced enough to overthrow the legitimate government, but they do not dare to set up a new government on their own, but find a high-ranking official of the legitimate government to be a puppet, and the old bottle is filled with new wine.

The Bone Eater then led the congregation in reciting a prayer that sounded like noise to Aluca's ears. It was only when the Pope began to explain the doctrine that Aluka listened attentively.

"All things have their own spirits, regardless of ......

"All people are born equal, the spirit and the flesh are one, and the bones are the root of the living soul. Is there a difference between the bones of the nobles and the commoners? What is the difference between the flesh and blood of the nobles and the commoners? The distinction between classes is only an illusion created by those in power to rule the people in order to plunder wealth......"

"In this troubled world, the people are not living, and the god of spirit bones is unbearable, so he gives me divine power...... I am no more noble than any of you, I am only a forerunner on this path, the divine power bestowed on me by the god of bones, and I serve only to blaze the trail......"

"In time, we will create a glorious world where everyone is equal, labor is rewarding, and no one can benefit from it......"

This kind of thinking is what Aluca calls a naïve view of equality. Without taking into account the causes of class and the socio-economic basis, it is obviously not feasible to try to create a free and equal society based on one's own needs. And the creators of such ideas often have ulterior motives......

However, the pope of this Bone Eater Sect is still a bit intelligent, and he says that everyone is equal, and there are still popes, priests, mentors and other classes in the sect. If it was really a completely equal organization without a leader, it wouldn't take a month for the Bone Eater Sect to be wiped out by the Wangcheng Garrison. Any organization needs leaders and hierarchies, otherwise it will be mired in endless internal friction and debate. The top leader calls the shots, and the bottom employees follow orders, which is the most efficient form of organization. However, democracy is a deep-seated human need, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the instructions of the sole leader...... That's why there are all kinds of elders, councils, and so on.

In the final analysis, human beings have not yet developed a perfect social structure. And the Bone Devouring Sect can't even stand the perfect side...... As long as the imperial court has a little guidance, it will self-destruct.

But Aluca didn't have that much time, so he had to resort to a more violent approach.

Before the free time, the Pope also showed his hand. He asked a parishioner to come to the stage and ask him to take out the arm bone of a deceased relative, and then pray in a decent manner......

But I saw that the arm bone turned into a gentle white light, scattered in the air, forming the appearance of a woman. The parishioners immediately fell to their knees, wept silently, and said, "Dear Rose...... I'm finally seeing you again...... Thirty years......"

Rose's soul put her hand on the head of the parishioner and said gently, "Don't be sad, Jack, I am very happy in the kingdom of God." You have to live well, do more good deeds, and practice the path of the god of spirit bones, so that you can reunite with me in the kingdom of God in the future. ”

Jack wept, "I swear to you...... I will use my life to follow the teachings of the God of Bones......"

The congregants in the audience also wept one after another, looking forward to the day when they could also see their deceased family members, and they were grateful to the god of spirit bones.

Aluka was shocked, as a god punisher, he could see that the Pope was using a genuine magic technique, not a charlatan. And there should be no one in the Overworld who can use magic and magic! Now he also understands why the Bone Eater Sect is so hot, with the hand of the Bone Eater Sect Pope, no one in the Red Sect can compare.

Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Who can have no regrets in life? Who can not have a few relatives, lovers, and friends who have parted from life and death? Even if they do not agree with the teachings of the Bone Eater Sect, just to see the deceased, there will be many people who will join the Bone Eater Sect with all their hearts. This also leads to the fact that the members of the Bone Eater Sect are generally older, have certain social resources and financial resources, see the warmth and coldness of people, and are extremely disappointed in the existing society.

"Awesome......" Aluka had to admire the mind of the Bone Eater Sect, "Why is this ability bad? Running to form a cult? It's bad luck to provoke Catherine......

Aluka believed that even if she didn't have herself, the princess Catherine in the palace would have countless ways to solve the Bone Eater Sect, but now that everything was entangled and the great cause was about to be accomplished, she didn't have time to pay attention to them for a while.

"Now, the problem is again...... Is there really a god of spirit bones, or is this Pope who learned this magic out of nowhere, and ran to deceive him with a whim?" If there really is a god of spirit bones, he will have to consider the possibility of the reappearance of the ancient gods in the main world, after all, the gods are governed by the creation council, and they can't do such a thing. Judging from the name, the god of spirit bones is also more like the ancient gods.
