Chapter 63: The Church's Division

As Herodotus expected, none of the other five high priests agreed with his proposal, but Herodotus did not expect them to be on his side.

In fact, he didn't say that to them.

This time, it was not only the high priest who discussed how to deal with the Shuangxiu Sect, but also hundreds of priests, but it was not their turn to speak out before.

Until the High Priest of Hesiod spoke, "All right, you can bring up any ideas you have." ”

Priests, look at me, I look at you, and the last old priest named Setis got up from the ground, saluted the six respectfully, and then said.

"The formation of an army must not be done, and this is the foundation of the Church's foothold in the West. And the Goddess also teaches us to stay away from violence. ”

"And if our lives are threatened, who will protect us?" Someone immediately retorted.

"Perhaps...... We can hire some guards and mercenaries. Setis proposed.

"At best, those guards and mercenaries can deal with the thieves in the city, and when you get to the field, you will encounter a few more robbers, and they will leave you and flee for their lives, let alone against the real army."

Setis also knew that what the other party said was the truth, so he changed his words, "I think our focus now should be on convincing the other nobles in the West, telling them the harm caused by Merlin and his Double Rest Sect, and mobilizing all families to isolate the Arias family as much as possible." ”

"How? Yin Leia is now a dragon slayer knight canonized by His Majesty the Emperor, and the Arias family has just saved the Western Realm with the Shuangxiu Sect...... Those nobles have always cared about their reputation, and no one will make a move against the Arias family at this time. ”

"We don't need them to do anything, we just need to lock down the Arias family properly and don't let those guys come out of the greens." Another priest spoke.

And his words were echoed by many people.

Whether you want to accept it or not, the failure of the Silvermoon Church in Greenfield has already happened. Now that the number of people who believe in Saturday there is becoming more and more, especially under the despicable egg missionary offensive of the Shuangxiu Church, the Silvermoon Church is simply powerless to resist.

Most of the priests in the main hall today have been to the territory of the Arias family, and have competed with the Shuangxiu Sect for believers, and have personally experienced the power of this trick.

Although the big guy didn't say it, he already defaulted in his heart that Green Field was Saturday and couldn't get it back.

Fortunately, there are not too many people there, and if they are lost, they will be lost, and the key is how to guard other places, especially the land next to the green fields.

The blockade is necessary, and the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Sect cannot be allowed to run out of the inside again and bewitch and buy people outside at will.

Of course, it is best to give restrictions financially, and call on the nearby lords to stop buying the specialties of the Shuangxiu Sect and the Arias family, so that they can draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and make the Shuangxiu Sect unable to afford eggs.

But I'm afraid it's not easy to do the latter point, the radish of the Arias family is okay to say, anyway, it is usually eaten by civilians again, and if it is forbidden, it will not be eaten or bought from others, and the substitution is high.

But both the pepper and the dragon's blood are good things on the side of the Shuangxiu Sect, especially the latter, which is said to be robbed crazy in the royal capital.

There is no worry that no one will buy it, and all the nobles in the western realm are also rushing to ask for it, how can they stop it.

The priests consulted and discussed, but did not come up with any good solution, and then the high priest of Cocuon noticed that Quintus, who was sitting in the corner, had been in a daze, looking like he was in a trance, and said,

"Priest Quintus, you seem to be the last to return...... Have you found any way to deal with the Weekend Church? ”

"No, I just went and listened to the Hughes preach." Quintus Road.

"What?" The High Priest of Kircuon was stunned, "Why did you even go to get the eggs......

"No, I just want to see what Merlin wants to do."

"What does he want to do?"

"Establish the kingdom of God on land."

"Hmph, this kind of nonsense is to deceive those fools in the countryside." The High Priest of Kircuon said disdainfully.

"But I see that he is very confident, saying that he will make the believers below live better than in the past, and he also said that he will compare with our Silver Moon Church." Quintus said truthfully.

"The amount of wealth in this world is certain, some people will become rich, some people will become poor, how does he plan to let so many believers below live a good life, to rob the surrounding nobles? Well, that's going to be a bit of a lizard-man appetizer. ”

Quintus didn't know how to answer, and that's what he didn't understand. Moreover, the Church of Shuangxiu also has a strange precept that its adherents must be allowed to work for five days and rest for two days, so that the time they can work becomes shorter.

Even those farmers who can't read a single word know that if they want to make money, they have to endure hardships and be diligent with their hands and feet.

Seeing that spring ploughing was approaching, Quintus wanted to go to the land of the Shuangxiu Sect to see how Li Yu had fulfilled his promise, or whether he was just deceiving the farmers who followed him, as the High Priest of Kircuon had said.

In addition, Quintus also reminded the others to be careful of the bizarre ways of preaching.

For example, preaching with singing, the melodies of those songs have their own curses, as long as you listen to them once, it is difficult to forget, and they will always echo in your mind, and you can't prevent it.

Another example is the lingua franca teacher named Anton, that guy hates the Silver Moon Church very much, and he continues to spray Pisia while preaching, and the key is that the guy's preaching level is quite high.

Quintus estimated that even if he went up on his own, he might not be able to win him.

There is also a beautiful missionary, and a good-looking boy has been added to the Shuangxiu Church, which is very lethal to female believers......

The priests of the Silver Moon Church are now a little numb to Li Yu's random cards, but fortunately, according to Quintus's feedback, the lethality of these new missionary methods is not as ruthless as that of sending eggs.

But there wasn't much time left for the church, and everyone felt a sense of urgency, and who knew how many strange tricks the guy named Merlin had left unused.

There were more priests who supported the formation of an army, but they never achieved an overwhelming advantage, and even the big guys couldn't think of any other good way to deal with the Shuangxiu Sect.

But the inertia that has always made people tend to maintain the traditions of the church, and they are reluctant to break them easily. Moreover, five of the six high priests had already expressed their opposition.

Eventually, it wasn't until dusk, when the sun set, that the discussion failed to make any real progress.

Herodotus was not surprised by this result, and he fell into silence again, just watching the people arguing coldly, and did not intervene.

When it was dark, he left the temple and returned to his dwelling. The High Priest of Kircuon was the first to get up, but walked very slowly, as if he was waiting for someone on purpose.
