Time goes back to a day ago.

When Sebas arrived in the forest near the Castel mines, the werewolf Luf, who had already learned the news, was already waiting respectfully with dozens of his most devout believers.

"Luf, High Priest of the Blood Wolf Tribe, bring all the believers...... I've seen Lord Sebas. ”

Luffy drew a symbol of a bramble rose on his chest, looking reverent and respectful.

Sebas glanced at the many believers behind Lufu who were standard in their movements, and bowed slightly:

"Excuse me, get up."

Werewolf Luff slowly got up, and motioned for the other believers to get up.

Then, Sebas walked deep into the forest with a crowd of wind and dust.

Skirting a woodland, the view gradually widens.

Amidst the noise and noise, a new village comes into view.

This is the settlement of the Blood Wolf Tribe.

No, or more accurately, this is a settlement of the Blood Ancestor that was founded by the subhuman miners of the Castel Mines along with the migrating Blood Wolf tribe.

The settlements are crisscrossed by roads, dotted with thousands of buildings, brand-new wooden houses have replaced simple tents, and walls have even been erected on all sides to defend against demonic beasts.

And in the center of the settlement, a small square was carved out, on which a tall altar was erected, with the emblem of the Thorn Rose.

The settlement is inhabited by a large number of people, most of whom are werewolves and other sub-humans, but if you look closely, there are also some humans.

When they saw Luffy and the others passing by, they all put down their work and greeted them warmly:

"Good morning, Priest."

"Priest, may the True Ancestor be with you......"

“……”

Werewolf Luffy responded with a smile and a nod to the crowd.

It wasn't until he returned to his cabin with Sebas that he breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

"Looks, Luf, you're doing well, and you're becoming more and more like a real priest."

Sebas laughed.

Lough scratched his head honestly:

"Lord Sebas, you're laughing, this is a gift from you and your True Ancestor."

"If it wasn't for your take-in, if it weren't for the salvation of the True Ancestor, I'm afraid Lu Fu wouldn't have lived to be where he is today, let alone Lu Fu, the entire Blood Wolf Tribe may be long gone, let alone have the opportunity to come here and build such a paradise-like village."

Sebas bowed slightly:

"His Majesty is indeed merciful."

With that, his gaze fell on the village outside the window:

"Now...... How's the Order going? How many believers are there? ”

The werewolf Luff took out a roll of parchment from his bosom that had been prepared long ago, and while handing it to Sebas, he said respectfully:

"Up to now, the number of officially registered believers in the Order has reached 3,345, including 2,624 subhumans, 678 humans, and 43 half-elves."

"There are even half-elves?"

Sebas looked surprised.

Werewolf Luff explains:

"It's some former half-elf slaves who, after the Boulder-Castel War, escaped from the defeated noble families and fled to us, accepted asylum, and accepted the faith of the True Ancestor."

"The words of human believers, mainly miners in the mining area and some refugees who fled because of the war, the acceptance of refugees by the Order during the Leglis Rebellion has won the favor of many refugees, and has also gained a lot of supporters, and now there is a branch of the Order in the Silver Mining City."

"Of course, considering the secrecy, the Order did not preach in Silver Mining City on a large scale, and the believers selected were all true believers who ensured that their backgrounds were clean and their beliefs were firm."

After listening to the werewolf Luff's report, Sebas was both satisfied and surprised.

Because of the need to hide his identity, His Majesty True Ancestor has always forbidden to preach in the open, but even so, it is still surprising that in less than two years, it has grown from more than 100 werewolf believers to 3,000 people today.

"If it weren't for missionary restrictions, it could be more."

"Lord Sebas, the Northland is really a very suitable land for mission, there are many unbelievers who have fled from all over the world, and even the believers of the Holy Court are mostly shallow believers, and their beliefs are not firm."

"With all due respect, the Divine Lord is too far away from mortals, but His Majesty is very close, as long as His Majesty can show miracles and mercy more extensively, it will not be difficult to gain more believers."

"There are restrictions, which is probably the sensitive identity of the True Ancestor."

"Oh, yes, and the core doctrine and the priesthood."

"Many of the sub-tribes have blood blood, and the belief in the true ancestor crown is more like ancestor worship, and it is not difficult to regain the faith, but for the existence of other non-blood people, we still lack the core doctrine to obtain a stronger centripetal force and identity ......"

"The words of the priests are also relatively few in number, and they are ...... He also doesn't master divine magic like the priests of other orders, but he has awakened some innate magic. ”

"Including me, there are currently 37 priests, all of whom have been recognized by the True Ancestor and have received the gifts of the True Ancestor's crown."

Listening to Luf's words, Sebas was not surprised.

Historically, the period of rapid expansion of the order of any god was the period when the gods walked on the earth.

The more you communicate with believers, the more you give, and the more you reap, the more you will naturally gain.

Although the Crown of the True Ancestor did not give gifts on a large scale, in this time when the gods were still asleep, the personal response to the prayers of the believers from time to time has surpassed many gods.

As for the lack of core doctrine and priesthood......

Sebas came to the mine this time to address these two issues.

"About the Core Doctrine...... His Majesty has issued an oracle that the teachings of the Order will revolve around darkness and order. ”

Sebas said.

"Darkness...... And order? ”

Werewolf Luff was stunned.

Sebas smiled slightly, and explained to Luff after learning Charlotte's explanation:

"Darkness...... It is a symbol of Miria's transcendent world. ”

"The otherworldly world is dark, cruel, oppressive, uncontrollable, but dark...... But it doesn't mean evil. ”

"Darkness represents the other side of light, represents the irrational side of the world, only by embracing darkness and understanding darkness can we control darkness and control the transcendent ......"

"The hierarchy of blood is strict, and blood also attaches the most importance to order, and order is also one of the essentials of our lord's faith."

"The world is inseparable from order, and if you control the darkness, you can bring a new order to the gradually chaotic world, and with order, you can restrain the extraordinary, restrain the strong, restrain the ordinary, and change the ...... of the world."

Speaking of this, Sebas's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"The restraint and protector of darkness, the reshaping and maintenance of order, this is the symbol of our Lord's faith!"

"Darkness and Order......

Werewolf Luff fell into deep thought.

After a long time, his eyes gradually brightened, and he bowed deeply to Sebas:

"Lord Sebas, Luffy has been taught."

Sebas nodded and continued:

"As for the priests...... Strictly speaking, the priests in the current order cannot be considered real priests, after all, the true ancestor was not ready for a formal mission before his crown. ”

"However, it is different now, my coming this time is the order of His Majesty the True Ancestor, and His Majesty the True Ancestor has already made a decision to let the Order officially set foot on the stage of Miria."

"Officially stepping onto the stage of Miria?"

Lu Fu was stunned, and then his expression was happy:

"Could it be...... Could it be that the power of the True Ancestor has been further restored? ”

Sebas bowed his head slightly and said with a smile:

"It can be understood that way."

"The Master's strength has been further restored, and it has been decided to officially begin his mission in the Northland."

"Luf, gather the priests and believers, and prepare for the prayer ceremony, I only brought the will of the gods, but the true missionary oracle needs to be conveyed by the great master himself."

"Of course...... It also includes the gifts of the gods. ”

……

"The Supreme True Ancestor......"

"The ...... of Darkness and Shadows"

"The Source ...... of All Blood"

"Thou devout and humble believer, hereby pray for the blessing ......"

In front of the tall altar, the werewolf Luff followed Sebas, leading a large number of worshippers to pray to the Thorn Rose.

Looking at the emblem on the altar, Lufu looked fanatical and expectant.

At the same time, Charlotte, who received the prayer, also officially set her eyes on the altar.

"Already...... Are you ready? ”

Sitting on the throne of blood, looking at the many believers in the "picture" with pious and expectant faces, Charlotte's expression gradually became solemn.

As the believers prayed, she could feel her connection with them strengthening, she could hear their hearts, she could feel the power of their bloodline.

She could even clearly perceive that the bits and pieces of bloodline power were converging on her along the web of faith along the prayers of the believers, converging in the divine fire in her chest, and refining into the purest divine power.

The gods are shepherds.

Believers are the flock of the gods.

And the supernatural strength is the continuous production of wool from the flock.

At this moment, Charlotte had a deeper understanding of the nature of the relationship between the gods and believers in the Miria world.

Although she had already had followers and formed her own order more than a year ago, to be honest, the order was incomplete and half-finished at best.

Now, now that her divine powers are no longer stretched and she plans to officially start her missionary work, it is time for her belief system to take shape and regularize the Order.

Thinking of this, Charlotte manipulated the divine power of blood and spread along the web of faith to the distant altar.

The next moment, I saw that the holy emblem of the thorn rose on the altar bloomed with a brilliant crimson brilliance, and a vast and majestic will slowly descended.

In the fanatical, shocked, and excited eyes of the believers, an illusory projection appeared above the altar.

The solemn throne, the tall figure of the shadow, and the magnificent and mysterious golden red eyes hidden behind the crimson mist.

It was Charlotte who sat on the throne of blood in a "coming-of-age posture".
