Chapter 571: Moonlit Night
888
The doors of the Harvest Chapel open and close.
"Bishop!"
The assistant, who was anxiously pacing in the church, saw Emlyn coming back, hurriedly walked up as well, brought him a cup of warm flower tea, and said with concern: "Bishop, you have finally returned, is it not that archbishop of the Cathedral of the Holy Wind who has made things difficult for you and locked you up until now?" β
After saying that, the assistant found that the archbishop's expression was even more ugly than he had thought, and he was simply hideous, like a vampire about to eat people in a horror story or drama.
Others may just think so, but the assistant knew before he came to the Harvest Church that his future leader would be a real vampire - but that wasn't much of a fortune to the Fenerporters, who had many bloodlines who believed in Mother Earth, and most of whom would make frequent appearances. Due to their age and experience, they also tend to have a certain status and are quite respected.
Emlyn's expression and mood were extremely bad, and he took the flower tea and thanked him in a low voice.
"Bishop......
Emlyn did not speak or respond, he went straight to the first row of prayer benches and sat down, clasped his hands under the emblem of Mother Earth, closed his eyes and prayed, calming his heart. Seeing this, the assistant also sat down on another bench across the aisle with him, and prayed quietly together. In the Harvest Church, only the lanterns near the shrine are still shining, and the strong aroma of herbs fills the room, creating a reassuring atmosphere.
It took a full five minutes for Emlyn to finally feel that the abnormal emotions in his heart had been soothed, so he opened his eyes and spoke:
"We should set up a few confessional rooms and ask the church for some of the clergy in our country to be responsible for their psychological safety."
The assistant also opened his eyes when he heard this, and when he saw that the bishop was beginning to think about increasing the number of people, he quickly nodded:
"I have a few friends who came to Rune together, fellow seminarians, and perhaps they would be able to fill the position of priest and confessor of Harvest Church. Then I'll write an application and send it to the Earth Church later, and I may need your stamp from the bishop at that time. β
"Are they extraordinary?"
Emlin asked again: "According to the rules given by the Thunder Church, it is already the limit of configuration for our church to have a demigod of mine. β
The assistant recalled for a moment and said uncertainly: "If they haven't been promoted, one should be sequence 8 and the other is 7." Archbishop, I feel like we need someone to specialize in managing the herb fields in the backyard of the church. As the faith continues to grow locally, perhaps we will need to open up some places to bury believers, and the requiem ceremony will not always be for you. β
Emlyn thought for a few seconds and nodded:
"Let's apply, if the sequence 7 is high, change a few sequence 9s."
"Yes."
"Three or four people are enough, not too many."
"Yes."
After speaking, the assistant saw that Emlin's mood had stabilized, and took the initiative to mention the matter of paying attention to the confession and mental health of the believers, and he mustered up the courage to ask tentatively: "Archbishop, sure enough...... Or is it because some believers have done something impulsive......? β
Hearing the topic related to business, Emlyn's eyebrows, which had just been released, were twisted together again. After a few seconds, he said unhappily, "Ah, yes." β
"Our believers had a conflict with the Extraordinary of the Thunder Church, so they went in the morning and lit the gas in the living building. I was taken away early in the morning by the Thunder Church because of this incident, and I had two fights with their archbishop. β
Speaking of this, Emlyn paused: "But this is not to make me unhappy, what makes me unhappy is - I realized one thing, I and I both think that this matter is not normal, there must be an extraordinary ability behind it, but the contradiction between the two peoples is not small, for them, the so-called extraordinary ability impact is actually equivalent to their own 'hot head'." β
"Even if there wasn't this gas explosion, there would have been something else. This time it was a Sequence 6 that was blown up, and next time someone might dare to shoot Radar Valentine, in a sense, I understand his thoughts. β
"But I didn't expect it - they wouldn't allow people to say they were bad at all!"
As he spoke, Emlyn was angry again, but before his assistant could comfort him, he himself was deflated again.
"Hey." Emlin turned to look at his assistant, "Do you know Utravsky?" It was the original priest of the Harvest Church. β
The assistant scratched his head and recalled: "...... When I was in seminary, I had heard the name, but I had never met him...... I heard that he was the Chosen One and was a very religious man. β
"Pious ......," Emlyn repeated thoughtfully, then shook his head, "I'm glad you didn't say he was a good man, he was actually a big pirate, and he became kind and peaceful after converting to the Mother Goddess, but it also caused a split personality. In order to cure his split personality, he managed to get a candle so that he could enter his heart and kill the brutal and ferocious man who wanted to become a pirate again, and in the end it was an old friend of mine who managed to cure him. In addition, although I know that this is a compliment to him, I may not be happy if others mention that I only have this compliment in the future. β
The assistant listened quietly to this long passage, and when Emlin had finished speaking, he spoke earnestly:
"He was a Chosen One, and his body was returned to his home country and buried in the cemetery of the Templar."
"Really? Sounds pretty good. β
After taking the initiative to mention Utravsky, Emlin couldn't help but complain as if he had opened the conversation:
"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't say you don't, I feel that way, too. β
"I could tell that Radar Valentin was trying to coerce me, to put pressure on me, to make me voluntarily willing to obey his discipline and build momentum for himself, but I didn't know how to deal with it."
"Everything he said seemed to be right, as if it was a legitimate demand, and I couldn't find anything to refute him."
They are all archbishops, so it is necessary to be responsible for the people of Beckland......
In order to prevent the recurrence of reprisals and vicious incidents, the scope of the activities of the Fenerporters should be limited and the time of their activities should be divided as much as possible.
Since Fenerport's grain will soon return to its original price, there is no need for them to continue to sell their grain piecemeal, just hand it over to the store.
Finally, and most crucially, the source of their dispute......
The gas explosion that killed and injured dozens of people was obviously vicious revenge, and the impact was so great that it would inevitably be reported in the newspapers. Considering that the parties involved are all dead, it is possible to apologize without Emlyn White, but the Harvest Church must make an explanation. In addition, Radar Valentin made some concessions, allowing it to be written in later reports that it was the priests of the Church of Thunder who had mistakenly killed innocent protesters, although Emlyn almost couldn't help himself when he put "innocent" and "demonstrators" together.
In the end, they did not reach a deal, but they unanimously decided to put it down for the time being and postpone the report.
"Before you came, I had never been a bishop, hehe, I didn't hold even a little power within the blood clan, and suddenly let me take charge of such a large church, so many regions and believers, I thought I could do a good job, but now it seems that ...... Not at all. β
The tremendous pressure and the expectations of countless believers weighed heavily on Emlyn White's shoulders, which made him realize that no one would think of him as a young and vigorous young bloodline with little experience and combat experience, and people called him Archbishop and Earl, and it was taken for granted that a demigod archbishop would be able to handle everything and make most people happy.
But Emlyn found himself unable to do so, and there was no one to give him any experience to guide him.
On the way back, he was still mentally unbalanced, and even wanted to scold, but now he only felt too tired to speak.
"Bishop......" The assistant hesitated for a moment, then spoke comfortingly, "It's not your fault, it's that the environment is so bad, everyone actually loves you, and when you're away, they're worried. β
"yes, I know ......"
Thinking that these frequent believers actually went to cause trouble for the Holy Wind Cathedral because they were worried about their own safety, Emlyn was moved, amused, and scared in his heart. As for Radar Valentine's proposal, Emlyn must have to bargain for a while, the Fenerporters trust him so much and care about him, and the Thunder Church has a bad impression, so he can't continue to try to stand on both sides.
"That's it for tonight."
Emlyn's mood was much better, he stood up and patted the wrinkles on his body: "I will continue to find a way to solve this matter, and try to help everyone not be bullied by them, Radar Valentin is really not a good thing...... Let's go back and rest, and I'll be busy again tomorrow. β
The assistant also quickly stood up:
"Then I'll go back and give you the report tomorrow morning."
After a few moments, the Harvest Church was quiet again.
β¦β¦
The radio in his hand was silent again, and Edward looked left and right, and finally slapped it twice hard.
"Whoa......
After all, he is a demon and not a craftsman, and after some random repairs, the radio finally has a sound again, but it can only make some meaningless noise. Unlike the radios of the old days, it was not a rustling of electricity, but an extremely faint and muffled sound of water.
Seeing that there was a sound inside, Edward let go of his hand and put the radio back aside. With this constant white noise, the sound of water in the room seemed to grow louder and louder, as if on the edge of a slow-flowing, calm river.
"No one prays today......"
Edward slowly turned the knob to a different channel, but heard nothing. No matter which station the radio was tuned to, there was only an endless sound of water, as if there was nothing but a river in it.
However, the presence of the water sound proves that the radio is still functioning, it was originally a model, but Edward stuffed it with a "dark" path sequence one and a "Pale Emperor".
As if given two powerful batteries, the radio soon resumed working under his debugging, and three channels appearedβone was the "River of Eternal Darkness Channel", which now only had the sound of water, the "Byrang Terrace" where some Bairan people could be heard praying from behind the sound of the water, and the last was the "Church of the Night" where he occasionally prayed to the Goddess of the Night in his heart or in his own home.
The latter two stations were separated from the "River of Eternal Darkness Channel", so the water sound would always exist, but Edward was able to use the extraordinary properties of the two sequences he had at hand to respond to a certain extent.
After all, the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness didn't react at all.
So, if the radio really breaks, then I'm afraid it will have to be given to the Demon of Knowledge to fix it, but Edward doesn't want to make the Demon of Knowledge feel like he's doing something bad. The end times are getting closer and closer, and He is absolutely unwilling to let anything go wrong during this time.
But......
"My suggestion to the Byrans was to let them dig the river."
Edward touched his chin and muttered to himself:
"I didn't even say what this river was for, after all, it's not strange to dig a river, right? How come it is that after a few days, they suddenly realize that this is the 'correspondence of the Styx in reality'? Do you think it's 'Death wants to return to reality by boat along this river'? β
"Oh no, can any of them really feel the will of the River of Eternal Darkness?"
ββ¦β¦ And, the River of Eternal Darkness also gives such a hint? Not only did I not object, but I also refined the setting according to my ideas...... But that's fine, the Omniscient won't be aware of what they're doing, and if this is the will of the River of Eternal Darkness, then maybe the guy in the Source Castle and God won't be aware either......"
It's going to be Ragnarok. Edward thought to himself.

ββββββ
A large blood-colored full moon hung over the edge of the cliff, illuminating the swamp below.
The swamp was dark red in color, constantly bubbling with bubbles, and there seemed to be magma steaming everything at the bottom.
At first glance, this swamp has no edge at all, like a vast ocean.
Syllable!
A stone fell from the edge of a cliff and plunged into a swamp.
In the next second, a bubble bubbled out and shattered silently, giving birth to a baby covered in blood.
The baby staggered and swam close to the cliff, trying to climb up.
Syllable!
Emlyn White's feet shattered and he fell off a cliff and into the swamp.
The Count of the Bloods awoke abruptly from his dream, looking around in fear and dazedness.
When he was sure that this was still the room reserved for the archbishop in the Harvest Chapel, Emlyn exhaled slowly, and said to himself with a solemn expression:
"The dream just now was not simple."
As a "Witch King", he has enough knowledge of the dream realm.
This revelation is not very normal, the blood-colored ocean and the baby born in the bubbles are full of evil and terrifying smells...... It doesn't look like the Mother Goddess, nor does it look like the usual style of the First Ancestor...... Emlyn suddenly had a bad feeling when he thought of the image where he had fallen at the end.
Could it be that Mr. "Fool" said it...... The heavenly "Mother"?
I just have some negative emotions, and I won't betray the mother goddess directly! This out-of-the-world mother is too ...... As soon as Emlyn finished complaining in her heart, she suddenly had a not very good feeling, and the cold sweat behind her suddenly broke out.
"He really keeps watching us...... Even me, a demigod who is not really anything, is being watched ......"
Emlyn quickly closed her eyes, but felt that she was completely sleepy.
