Chapter 44: Behind Enemy Lines

Quintus has been in the green field for so long, but he has not heard a single sermon in its entirety.

It's just that I have heard some words in my daily conversations with the villagers, and I probably know what kind of land divine kingdom Li Yu and his Shuangxiu Sect want to establish, and those who believe in the Shuangxiu Sect can rest for two days every five days, and so on......

Like most priests in the church, Quintus had been convinced that it was a trap set by a foreign god and a poisonous lie, so he didn't look into it.

Moreover, the way in which the Church of Weekend gave out eggs was too deviant, which tarnished the sanctity of the sermon and completely angered the priests led by Quintus, who despised it and naturally did not want to have anything to do with it.

But now Quintus has been defeated by what he despises in his heart!

The head of House Arias betrayed Picia and converted to Saturday, after which her subjects followed suit and threw themselves into the bosom of the Church of Weekend.

The ever-mighty church has suffered an almost humiliating rout in Greenfield!

At this time, Quintus was also as angry and ashamed as those colleagues around him, but in addition to being dissatisfied with the church's response this time, Quintus was also reflecting on why they would lose so ugly this time.

Although the loss of Green Field is a bad start, for the land and believers controlled by the Silvermoon Church, this defeat is not unbearable.

The key is to figure out exactly where they lost so that they can win back next time, rather than losing again and again.

If you want to do this, you obviously can't do it without getting to know your opponent deeply.

Therefore, Quintus decided to follow the advice of the owner of the house and observe Li Yu and his Shuangxiu Sect more closely.

And right now, there's a great opportunity.

Li Yu was not very satisfied with the missionary effect, and announced that he would hold the first Green Field Open Wheat missionary activity, and the time would be tomorrow.

The top 10 will be rewarded, and the top 3 will be rewarded.

Forget these alone, Quintus can still understand that it is Li Yu's encouragement to his subordinates, after all, it is not a day or two that the Shuangxiu Church likes to scatter money, they can spread it to believers, and of course they can also spread it to missionaries.

But the rest of the matter becomes magical, this open mic activity is actually open for registration, not only Hughes, ordinary people can also participate, not only reward them, but once they perform well and pass the follow-up assessment, they can also directly become Hughes.

Quintus remembered that when he first heard this, he almost fainted.

No one knows better than him how difficult the road to becoming a priest is.

Especially for a person like him who came from a civilian background, although the former lingua franca teacher named Anton spoke very hard, like a big troll, full of resentment towards the church, many things that could be said were indeed true.

In fact, there are many people like him who have worked hard for the church for decades, but they still can't even get the qualifications to enter the temple to study, and even if they are lucky enough to enter the temple, it would be good if one or two of the last ten people could become priests.

But it is precisely because of this that the priests are widely respected and enjoy the same status as the nobility in the West.

But now the Church is so mixed up that it seems that anyone can become a missionary.

Even Quintus, who preferred to deal with commoners rather than nobles, was offended.

Moreover, he was not very optimistic about the first Green Field Open Wheat missionary activity, not so much to spy on the enemy, but more with the idea of watching jokes.

But for whatever reason, Quintus changed his mind and decided to stay, and the next morning, he rushed to the place where the event was held.

The Shuangxiu Church had already erected a wooden stage there in advance.

The area of the stage is not large, only ten steps long and wide, and there are two wooden poles next to it, which are about two people high, and there is a strip of red cloth on it.

On the strip of cloth, the first Green Field Open Wheat Missionary Activity is written in common language, which is quite eye-catching.

Quintus looked down

I saw four chairs in front of the stage, and the four chairs were empty at this time, and I didn't know who would sit on them for a while.

Quintus took out half of the black bread from his bosom and took two bites before the activity began.

There is no such thing as breakfast on the continent of Brattis, and the nobles will wait until noon to eat their first meal, but for those who do heavy physical work, they will still eat some bread before going out, otherwise they will not be able to resist it.

Quintus also farmed with his father when he was younger, and after becoming a priest, he spent most of his time in the countryside, a habit he retained.

Quintus looked around while eating, Li Yu held this missionary activity, not only the conditions for signing up are very lenient, but there is no restriction on coming to listen to the lecture, anyone can come to watch, but unlike the previous missions, there are gifts to receive.

But now it is the time of farming, and there are not many entertainment activities in these small villages, and there are many more believers of the Shuangxiu Sect in the green field now, so there are still many people who come to see the excitement.

By the time Quintus had finished eating the half of the black bread in his hand, there were already about two or three hundred people gathered in front of the wooden stage.

The Shuangxiu Sect also sent guards to maintain order and guide the people to sit on the spot.

Not to mention that the location of this double suspension activity is quite particular, just under a hillside, after the audience sits down, it is not easy to block the view from the front, and everyone can clearly see the scene on the stage.

Quintus found a place a little further back and tried to blend in with the crowd as much as he could.

Although the Shuangxiu Sect did not prohibit people from the Silver Moon Church from coming to observe, considering his identity, it would be embarrassing to be discovered, so Quintus came to wear regular clothes this time, plus his skin was already dark, and there were many wrinkles on it, squatting in the corner at this time, looking no different from an ordinary farmer.

But what Quintus didn't know was that since Clara was taken captive, Li Yu had added some additional security measures, including mobilizing believers to keep an eye out for unfamiliar faces and suspicious people in the vicinity, especially those related to the Silvermoon Church.

So as soon as Quintus left the village on the front foot, someone on the back foot reported his movements to the Shuangxiu Sect and received a bag of flour.

At this time, Li Yu already knew that Quintus had come to listen to the lecture and knew where he was sitting, but Li Yu didn't let people chase him, but just asked the Black Dog Guard to pay attention to the situation over there to ensure that if something was wrong, he could take people down at the first time.
