Chapter 25: The Guardians
Three of the seven high priests have already made it clear that they are opposed to the study of the double rest to spread money.
And High Priest Martina, who has always been inclined to reform after the three, also voted against this time.
The main thing is that this practice is simply too heretical.
It may not be a problem for the Shuangxiu Sect to do this as a new sect, after all, Li Yu himself is also a foreigner, and he has always liked to subvert traditions, and he will come up with something shocking at every turn.
But the Silvermoon Church represents a conservative force, with a thousand-year-old legacy, millions of adherents, and many stalwarts like the Priest Quintus, who are clearly resistant to new forms of missionary methods such as distributing eggs.
It was thought that this would tarnish the faith in Picia and deprive the sense of ritual of the mission.
The fact that the seven high priests are the top administrators of the Silvermoon Church does not mean that they are in control, but they still have to take into account the opinions of the majority.
In addition, High Priest Martina herself felt that it would be too cheap for the church to do this.
But if you don't follow, it seems that there is really no way to stop those villagers from listening to the sermons of the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Sect.
In short, the church is in an awkward position right now.
In the end, everyone could only look at Herodotus, who had just said nothing but smiled and listened.
High Priest Reeves coughed lightly, "High Priest Herodotus, the priests of the church are now being frustrated in the Green Field mission, have you gained anything from the Guardian Corps during this time?" ”
When she heard the words "Guardian Guard", High Priest Martina's brow furrowed.
She had always disliked the cold, bloodthirsty unbelievers, who felt that every pore was filthy from head to toe.
However, the Guardian Sect has also been a tradition of the Silvermoon Church for thousands of years, but it belongs to the dark part.
High Priest Martina also admits that these guys did play a role in the first hundred years of the Silvermoon Church, especially after the church voluntarily promised not to form an army.
The existence of this secret armed force has helped the Church survive several deadly crises, protect many important people, cut out many intractable enemies, and avoid greater conflict and bloodshed.
However, as the Silvermoon Church grew, especially after becoming the number one sect in the West, High Priest Martina felt that the cathars had completed their historical mission and there was no need for them to continue to exist.
It shouldn't become a tool like today, which specializes in dirty work that can't be seen and wipes the butts of many big people.
It's a pity that not many people agree with her idea.
High Priest Martina could only accept the existence of the Guardians, but she tried not to have anything to do with them, and she didn't want to hear anything about them.
Therefore, after High Priest Reeves spoke, High Priest Martina took the initiative to leave the table, and High Priest Gonaia also found an excuse to chase after her.
After both of them had left the apse, High Priest Herodotus unhurriedly reported the results of the Guardians.
When he heard that the Guardians had succeeded in stirring up hatred from a village of people against the Shuangxiu Sect through the deaths of two young girls, High Priest Reeves couldn't help but applaud.
But soon he also realized that his behavior was a little unpleasant, so he quickly added, "I don't mean that those two poor girls died well, but that ...... Their deaths awakened the people of that village, and it was a good thing, and they would be rewarded by the goddess after they died. ”
The High Priest of Hesiod couldn't listen anymore and directly interrupted him, "What about after that? ”
"After that, the Weijiao team planned to attack the team of the Shuangxiu Sect that came to investigate, and further provoked the conflict between the Shuangxiu Sect and the local villagers, but unexpectedly found that Merlin was also in the team."
Even if they already knew that Li Yu was still safe and sound, many people were still in good spirits when they heard the news, because everyone's troubles at the moment were all due to this person, if they could eradicate this culprit in one fell swoop.
None of the remaining people of the Shuangxiu Sect could fight, just like a toothless tiger, so they didn't have to worry anymore.
"What, was there too many people around him at that time?"
"It's not too much, it's a team of more than a dozen people." Herodotus said, "There are more people on the Guardians' side than them.
Everyone present knew how strong the combat effectiveness of the Guardian Sect was, and if it was one-on-one, there was no one in the entire Western Realm who was their opponent, and besides, they still had the advantage in numbers in this battle.
"Then why didn't they kill Merlin?" The High Priest of Kircuon was a little dissatisfied, "High Priest Herodotus, don't you always say that they are invincible? ”
Herodotus was not angry, but said, "The Shuangxiu Sect now has its own army, although the number is not large, only a hundred people, and the training is not enough, but their weapons and equipment are very good, even better than the Guardian Sect.
"All dwarven armor and weapons, and a shield made from the scales of that black dragon. However, the strength is still stronger on the side of the Guardians, so much so that Merlin has to lure the pursuers of the Guardians away and fight for the others to survive. ”
Hearing this, the other four high priests were stunned again, they obviously didn't expect that the protected person could still have such a commotion as guiding the pursuers away for the guards.
High Priest Hesiod sighed, "This prophet Merlin is quite good to his men, no wonder so many people are desperate to follow him." ”
"Then it is even more important to eradicate this threat as soon as possible." High Priest Reeves added, then asked, "How did he escape?" ”
"He can run on water." "The members of the Guardians who witnessed this told me that he was as agile on the water as he was on land. ”
Before the crowd could digest the shocking news, Herodotus continued, "But the Guardians eventually caught up with him, and then he disappeared. ”
Herodotus concealed the part of the Central Guard that the Church tried to capture Li Yu.
"Disappear? What do you mean by disappearing. The High Priest of Kircuon was puzzled.
"It's literal, he's gone."
"How is this possible?" When the priests heard this, they were shocked again.
"Did the Guardians say that in order to shirk their responsibilities?" Someone asked.
"I don't think they dare to deceive me." Herodotus said, "And even if you want to deceive them, there is no need to make up such outrageous reasons. ”
"That'...... Could it be that guy is the embodiment of a god, otherwise why would he be a mortal with such great powers? ”
High Priest Reeves was thinking about something else at this moment, and his face became more and more ugly, "As long as there is danger, he can disappear immediately, this ...... Doesn't that mean he can't be killed at all? ”
"This disappearance should not be arbitrary." Herodotus said, "So we can still find a way to deal with him, in fact there will be a chance in five days, when the female head of the Arias family will officially join the Church of Shuangxiu, and it must be Merlin himself who will perform the ceremony for her."
"The Guardians have now infiltrated the green fields again."
