Chapter 132: The Church of Truth

"Church of Truth, what is that?"

In order to further inquire about the news, Mei Ben pretended to ask casually.

The employer did not suspect him, and hurriedly explained:

"The Church of Truth is a very old church in Hengcheng, it does not belong to any church, but it has a very strong influence, and this church can even influence some decisions of the king of Hengcheng."

Seeing that Memoto's eyes widened and an expression of disbelief appeared, the employer continued to explain:

"Lord Wolf Knight may not know that the founder of the Church of Truth is the Holy Fool Longinus, who is also from the royal family, and he also sat on the throne of the King of Hengcheng a hundred years ago."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Mei Ben said suddenly:

"Oh, according to this, this Church of Truth is the façade that the royal family of Hengcheng has set up, and it is a tool used to unify and control the church."

The employer shook his head and gave a negative answer.

"Many outsiders think that the Church of Truth is a puppet of the royal family of Hengcheng, but this is not the case.

Not to mention the family of God, even the king of Hengcheng has no right to direct the Church of Truth. ”

As he spoke, the employer pointed to the Sun of Truth, which was located high in the city, and said with reverence:

"Lord Wolf Knight, you have probably heard that the Sun of Truth appeared because of the Creator's mercy to the world.

He couldn't bear to see us living in darkness, and that's why the light came to the city.

And Longinus is the messenger of light sent by our lord, who personally placed the Sun of Truth on the highest part of the city, and has been guarding it here for a hundred years.

Even if he doesn't count the royal bloodline of the Holy Fool, just because of his status as a Sage who leads the light, what qualifications does the royal family have to direct him. ”

The employer was a great admirer of the Holy Fool, and he talked about the other party's deeds.

This was not surprising to Meben, as the belief in the Creator was all too common among the Golden Race, and it had been entrenched in the Golden Race for millennia.

Even he, a less devout believer, would use our Lord's blessing as a mantra when he had nothing to do.

The Holy Fool, as the messenger of the Creator, saved the city from darkness, and it is only natural that he should be worshipped.

Still, Megan heard some shocking news from the other party's words.

"Wait, do you mean that the Holy Fool is still alive, has he survived for a hundred years?"

When the employer heard this, he nodded and said in awe:

"Of course, the Holy Fool, as the messenger of light named by the Creator, will always be with the city until the light returns to the earth."

The employer's words made Mei Ben chuckle in his heart, he preferred that the Holy Fool was just an ordinary old man than the real Creator Messenger.

After all, if you want to stay in Hengcheng, you must become a pastor of the Church of Truth, and the prerequisite for becoming a pastor is to be tested by the Holy Fool.

As a liar who is not religious and lives by cheating, he is worried that he will be found out.

"Memoto, don't scare yourself.

Maybe the so-called Holy Fool is just a more clever liar like you.

If the Creator really exists, where would the omnipotent need a messenger, and ending the darkness is not a matter of waving a hand? ”

"Yes, the Creator does not exist, and the fact that He did not exist is proof that He did not exist when I prayed for His help countless times during my gloomy childhood, but He did not respond at all.

I am not alive today by the Creator, but by my own ability. ”

Mei Ben used an almost hypnotic way to constantly cheer himself up.

In the days that followed, He temporarily stayed in his employer's home as a guest.

While cultivating a relationship with the other person's daughter with a purpose, he continued to collect relevant materials for the assessment of the Pastor of Truth.

As a liar who never misses, he knows how important it is to prepare in advance to convince others of his lies.

However, there was never enough time to prepare, and before he could get into the details, the time had already come to recruit pastors.

Despite his inadequate preparations, Umemoto still left his employer's home with the mentality of giving it a try.

The Church of Truth is located on the site of the old royal palace, which is said to have been destroyed by a fire in the Hengcheng Royal Palace a hundred years ago, and this place has been rebuilt to become the current Church of Truth.

Although it is only the site of the royal palace, the royal palace is a royal palace after all, and no matter how high the status of the nobles dare not touch here, the Church of Truth can be built in this kind of place, which is enough to imagine its status in Hengcheng.

Mayben was no longer surprised by this, and after so many days of inquiry, he had a deeper understanding of the Church of Truth.

He learned that in the past hundred years, Hengcheng has expanded more than 100 times.

Because of the arrival of the eternal night, the Golden Clan, who had once scattered around the world, were forced to gather in this city.

The rapid expansion of Hengcheng is not simply a matter of population growth and territorial expansion, but the influx of various groups of people has made the city chaotic.

conflicts between outsiders and indigenous peoples; the conflict between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy; There is also the conflict between the royal family and the members of the family of the gods, it can be said that the whole city is full of contradictions from top to bottom, and everyone almost tears Hengcheng apart for their own interests.

In the end, it was through the coordination of the Holy Fool that Hengcheng regained stability and successfully survived the most intense period of conflict.

To put it simply, it is really because of the presence of the Holy Fool that the dominance of the Hengcheng royal family can be maintained.

They willingly let the Church of Truth be built on the site of the royal palace, and as long as there is this needle of the sea god, Hengcheng will be able to maintain stability.

"That Holy Fool seems to be really powerful, I don't know if I can pass his assessment.

Hey, let's take it one step at a time. ”

With apprehension, Mebben walked in the direction of the church.

The moment he saw the Church of Truth, he was a little stunned on the spot.

In his opinion, the Church of Truth has a high status in Hengcheng, and it should match the magnificent appearance, not to mention the royal palace, how should it be more luxurious than the ordinary aristocratic manor.

However, the appearance of the Church of Truth is extremely ordinary, even slightly dilapidated.

In particular, the pillars and gates that stand on both sides of the church are already a little dilapidated.

"This—This is the famous Church of Truth?"

Mei Ben couldn't believe his eyes, and when he saw an old man cleaning in the church, he hurriedly asked:

"Excuse me, this is the Church of Truth, I can't be in the wrong place."

Hearing Meben's inquiry, the old man stopped what he was doing and replied kindly:

"You're not mistaken, this is the Church of Truth.

Hehe, everyone who comes here for the first time will be like you, can't believe what you see in your eyes.

However, the Church of Truth was built 100 years ago, and no matter how ornate it is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.

The only person in this world who can be unaffected by time is probably the eternal and immortal Creator. ”
