This year's Westside winter has been colder than ever.

There are many trees in the forest whose branches have been crushed by the snow and fall to the ground, occasionally hitting horse-drawn carriages passing below, but most of the time there are no pedestrians on the road.

Even the most spacious and lively avenue outside Yanxue City was now deserted, and only a group of scolding mercenaries and three or two taciturn travelers passed by.

Without exception, they all wrapped their bodies tightly in thick cloaks, but even so, the deadly cold wind would penetrate their cuffs, necklines, and trouser legs, making them shiver from the cold.

And those who stayed in the house honestly were also choked by the hellish weather.

The aristocrats were a little better, and although their stone fortresses were surprisingly cold in winter, they still had warm fireplaces to keep warm.

But for those farmers and small craftsmen, the situation is much more dire.

The longhouse they live in is already ventilated, and many of them can't afford to burn firewood for warmth, so they can only wear thicker clothes as much as possible, and the family and domestic animals snuggle together.

Because of this time, many new residents have been ushered in one after another, and at the same time, it has also brought great challenges to the resettlement work.

Fortunately, the female lord now had enough money on hand to recruit a group of craftsmen from Blackstone City to assist the newcomers in building their homes.

As for those who did not have time to build a house, the maiden, despite Alfred's objections, allowed them to spend the winter in their castle.

Yin Leiya even listened to Li Yu's preaching with these people.

After returning from Rock Snow City, the new head of the Arias family kept his promise, and it didn't take long for him to announce that he had renounced the family's centuries-old belief in Picia and converted to Saturday.

As soon as this news came out, it was not surprising that she was opposed by the Silver Moon Church, and in addition, many nobles and even the girl's own subordinates advised her to think twice.

Anton, the lingua franca teacher, blocked the door of the girl's room to deal with government affairs, and tearfully persuaded the female lord not to be bewitched by the strange gods, and returned to the arms of the goddess, and saw his appearance at that time, so he sent Miss Rabbit to kneel on the spot.

But this time, Yin Leiya's attitude was unusually resolute, and she never compromised or compromised.

And it was decided to hold an initiation ceremony in half a month.

If she is really allowed to successfully join the Shuangxiu Sect, it will undoubtedly be another very serious blow to the prestige of the Silver Moon Church.

This is the first time in thousands of years in the West that a lord has abandoned Picia and turned to the arms of other gods, not to mention that the Arias family is still in the limelight now, and it is no longer the small role it used to be.

The Silvermoon Church clearly didn't want to see that happen.

In the past, when this happened, they would first send a priest to contact the target lord and try to persuade the other party.

However, the Silvermoon Church had already sent Yin Leia's friends and the teacher she had taught her when she was studying at the temple to persuade her.

As a result, the former ended up in ruin, and the latter made a bitter promise at the expense of making a promise, but he still couldn't make the female lord change his mind.

Since the soft ones can't work, then the hard ones can only come.

Although the Silvermoon Church itself has no armed forces, they have many political allies, and after thousands of years of operation, they have long been inextricably linked with the major families in the West.

It was easy to put pressure on the Arias family through other nobles, but this time the situation was a little different.

There were quite a few people who were willing to help the Silver Moon Church spread the word, and most of the lords also expressed varying degrees of support for this matter, and some people personally visited Yin Leia, hoping that the latter would change his mind, but their attitudes were very tactful.

It didn't threaten, even hint, as the Silvermoon Church had hoped.

Of course, the church understands why, the female lord is now holding the power of the dragon slayer, and not long ago she fought against the heir of the Figuerola family in Rock Snow City, and sent the latter to prison as she wished.

Naturally, the nobles of the Western Realm didn't want to offend her at such a time.

And if the route at the top doesn't work, then the Silver Moon Church will only have the option of mobilizing the people at the bottom.

It's just that the last time they did that, it didn't work very well.

That tragic lesson is still fresh in the memory of many people.

But doing nothing is the same.

Picia's followers are still the majority in Greenfield, but with the recent series of events, many of them are as shaken as the female lord.

According to the information received by the Silvermoon Church, as early as when Yin Leia lifted the ban on the Church of Shuangxiu, the prophet named Merlin sent the first clerics known as "Hughes" to begin to recruit believers in the Greenfields.

Nowadays, the activities of these Hughes are becoming more and more frequent.

And they no longer seem to be content with spreading the Saturday faith only in the territory of the Arias family, and occasionally sneak into the territory of nearby lords.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

If we don't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, the loss of believers in the Silver Moon Church will definitely become more and more serious in the long run.

The seven high priests apparently realized the seriousness of the problem, so they put aside what they were doing and met at the Great Temple of Alberto to discuss a solution.

Among them, the second oldest of the seven, the High Priest of Reeves, was the last to arrive.

But instead of going to the apse like the other high priests, he stood in the front hall and looked fixedly at the large lead coffin in front of him, and after a while the high priest seemed to remember something sad, and actually began to cry.

The other six high priests in the apse could not sit still when they heard this cry.

When he got up and walked out, he saw the High Priest of Reeves throwing himself on the coffin with a look of grief.

"High Priest Reeves, what ...... you are," asked High Priest Hesiod, the most outspoken of the seven.

"Woooooooooo......oo We lost the coffin of the high priest of Kaocas, let it fall into the hands of that hateful foreigner, and had this fake coffin built here overnight, and even if we all said with a clear conscience, what was false was true, what was really false.

"So that one day in the future, even if we welcome back the real holy coffin, we will not be able to put it here again, this is a great disrespect to the high priest and the goddess of Kaocas."

The more High Priest Reeves spoke, the more sad he became, and the whole person looked as if he was about to faint, and he had to rely on someone to support him, so that he did not completely collapse to the ground, but his wrinkled face was already full of old tears.
