A large-scale demon invasion event has caused staggering damage.

Cultists burp their butts, and someone will always wipe their butts when they turn around. This time the Orthodox Church suffered heavy losses.

The church can not give a pension to the deceased, because it is a sacrifice for justice, for one's faith.

But a certain amount of compensation is still needed, such as orphans and widows need to be supported, such as the children of apologetic knights are given priority admission to knight apprentices, probationary priests, etc.

All of this requires worldly money. The easiest way to do this is to ask the congregants to raise funds to donate. In addition to active donations, there are also passive ones.

As the top of the food chain, the Orthodox Church Alliance holds the right to define [normal], and as long as the affected nobles and merchants come back alive, they must donate enough benefits to the church, otherwise whoever is judged to be [anomalous] will be regarded as a madman, and then they will have to say goodbye to their wealth, power, and status.

In the church, confinement, food, clothing, shelter and transportation need to be paid for. Let the nobles and commoners be treated equally, how can they stand it?

Moreover, this involves a very subtle medical examination such as a psychiatric examination. In any era, it is expensive to see a psychiatrist, let alone evil spirits and spiritual pollution.

It's not something that can be done by knowing how to exorcise evil spirits. The examiner also needs to distinguish whether the victim has been hungry for three days, the negative energy generated in the heart, or whether the victim has really been invaded by evil thoughts.

More than 300 people had an accident at one time, and the major orthodox churches mobilized pastors from the entire province to be sloppy.

Fortunately, this is the rich and densely populated area of St. Ledon, and if it is placed in some remote mountainous area, the church has the right to order the victims to be burned together.

Just over a year ago, Morat, a poor province in the northwest, burned more than 200 people. Because the local reincarnation priest was soft-hearted, he released the victims who were polluted by the spirit of the evil god without careful investigation, which resulted in the spread of the evil god's teachings, and finally had to make this decision.

This time the survivors were not burned indiscriminately, which is already a great mercy. In a way, the punishment of evil is also a big business.

It just so happened that there were enough unlucky people who came back alive this time, and nearly a hundred VIPs and more than two hundred crew members returned.

The old nobles gritted their teeth, cut a piece of meat, and could live a normal life. Rich businessmen or something are miserable, don't pick up a layer of skin, don't want to come out of the church.

The result is layer by layer. Orthodox sects eat the meat of nobles and wealthy merchants to make up for it. The aristocracy and wealthy merchants were so angry that they burned the Lymington Cruise Company and sued the Orthodox Inquisition, saying that they were ineffective in inspection and protection.

In fact, in the end, this company is a bit wronged. They all approached the Storm Church and hired an elite storm team to garrison it all year round.

The devil knows that it will provoke the Apocalypse Knight, and make a world that is evaluated as SS-level after the fact. The company wanted to find the Storm Church to help carry the mines, but the Storm Church was a bachelor.

Storm Warrior Wren, who was in charge of signing the contract in the first place, smiled.

"Ten of our 12-member elite squad have died, and they have done their best, worthy of the name of the children of the sea. You this premium, we can only give such a configuration. If you can't give this money, let's send a Sequence 3 powerhouse to be a bodyguard, right? Of course, it is not impossible to think that the Storm Church must be held accountable for this, and I, Wren, have decided to take the blame and resign. "The cruise line was dumbfounded.

What else can they say? What kind of bodyguard to hire at what price, there is a public opinion in the world. What's more, people even resigned from the war sacrifice, what else can you say?

As a result, the entire cruise company was forcibly liquidated, and all the funds in the account were divided, not to mention, the assets were also forcibly auctioned.

But here's the problem. The biggest asset of Coming to Minton Cruises, in addition to the docks, is two cruise ships.

A good one, I finally took a 7 million yuan. The rest of this ship is the Minton, the ghost wants it!

Not to mention the hundreds of people who died, this special thing has become a giant [anomaly]. If it's not a powerful extraordinary, who can hold it down?

There are also ordinary sailors and waiters who have been affected, which is a proper negative asset for the major churches.

These bitter haha, all of them are wage earners. Their family didn't have much money to come to work as waiters and crew members, so they couldn't squeeze out oil and water.

Several big sects have tried to play ball, but the twin goddesses have always taken the lion's share, and the negative equity naturally allocated to the head is also the most.

Mark looked at Albert: "That's why you came to me?" ”

"Well, as you all know, your butler, Miss Helena, has just made a fortune on the stock market......"

"So what?" Mark's eyes were sharp, like a miserly rich man who was protecting his money bag.

"Ahem, of course we know it, it's your legitimate income. But as you know, this battle within the Church of Light was a big win for our faction, gaining prestige and power, while the Brown faction suffered heavy losses. So Brown's bastard ate the shitty cruise ship and the crew and threw it at us to deal with. Makchi: "Can you still do this?" ”

"Alas! Your grandfather can't leave, he is the only cardinal in the local area, and naturally negotiates on behalf of the Church of Light. Albert sighed: "Although the family is sorry for you, they have always fully supported you......" Mark rolled his eyes, and looked like 'the weather is so nice today', which made Albert speechless.

In Albert's view, this hatred of seizing the heir is definitely a big hatred that cannot be dissolved for a lifetime, and who can stand the fact that the main family has become a separate family.

This kid didn't completely turn his face, which is very face-saving. Seeing that Mark didn't appreciate it, Albert turned to say: "Mark, you have a lot of benefits. While the Goddess of Light doesn't mind if you get their Blood Moon cards from John Brown and Inquisitor Charlie, whether or not you give them public use is another matter. Mark was speechless, it's one thing to use it secretly, and the twin goddesses gave it to him to use it publicly, so that's another matter.

After all, demons have no human rights, and even if the elder of the Church of Light and Night dies, theoretically he can only work for the twin goddesses.

"Then ...... Let's talk about it. "After some grinding, Mark paid 2 million LTD to buy this 'new ship', which originally cost more than 10 million LTD and was launched less than a year ago.

This includes cleaning up every nook and cranny of the entire ship, repairing the damaged areas on board, and receiving more than 200 crew members.

Whether it's repairing the ship or waiting for the crew to complete the closure and psychiatric procedures, it takes time. During this time, Mark was dragged to the academy by Dean Margaret.

What to explain to the junior how to deal with [abnormality] and how to fight against evil demons took three days.

That's the price. Because Margaret said to him, "Mark! The fact that you can handle the SS-class world of the Minton proves that you are a true genius! But genius does not mean that there is no need to accumulate, and to exchange talent for strength. Do you know what the requirements are for Doctor Who in Sequence 7 to be promoted to Erudito in Sequence 6? ”

"Please make it clear to the teacher." Mark bowed humbly.

"In addition to cracking three S-class [anomalies] or demons, and subduing one of them, you also need to read a thousand extraordinary books." As the dean's voice fell, Mark immediately received a prompt from the fate dice: [Discover the true Shenli Tuo of the 6th level sequence of the Occult Branch!]

【Promotion Rules-The promoter needs to personally experience at least three unknown S-class anomalies or the mysterious rules of demons, surrender at least one S-class anomaly as his own property, and read at least a thousand books about extraordinary things......] In fact, the promotion conditions are similar to the previous level of Doctor Who, and this reading pit is miserable.

When I was in college, there were only a handful of 80 hours of classes per semester. Mark gnawed on this kind of tome, and he wanted to die for one, let alone a thousand.

How much time does it take? Mark almost gave up on the idea of being promoted to this sub-career. Margaret's next sentence saved him: "I don't know what drove you to be in such a hurry. You have your own personal reasons, and I won't ask about them. I can provide you with a very simple spell [Eye of Knowledge], which can read for you 24 hours a day, and you can even multi-purpose and open multiple [Eyes of Knowledge] at the same time. "Huh?

Could this be the legendary quantum reading method? Mark was not stupid, and immediately asked rhetorically: "What about the price?" ”

"It will consume a lot of your spiritual power and greatly increase the burden on your soul." Dean Margaret rolled her eyes, clearly seeing through a part of someone's spirit, and she smiled, "It's the same as you have to bear one more [anomaly]. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Mark breathed a sigh of relief. The dean laughed: "Do you think that anyone is as crazy as you, daring to suck the purified demon general's spiritual essence and exercise his will and soul strength in order to face the evil god." Extraordinary people with average qualifications have long since lost control of their spiritual power and become monsters. Either the long-term use of the [Eye of Knowledge] has caused one's spiritual power to dry up or become insane. Mark chuckled sheepishly and touched the back of his head.

"Go to the stacks. It is very safe for you to read a lot of books below grade A. Don't touch books above grade A, because books are extraordinary in themselves, and there is a great possibility that they will erode your spirit and soul through the [Eye of Knowledge]. ”

"Understood." Isn't it impulse, this Mark understands. Margaret put him in the library of the Occult Academy to read, and half a month passed.

From the perspective of magic, Mark could achieve 36 [Eyes of Knowledge] at the limit, but only 12 eyes were opened at the same time, and the overwhelming amount of knowledge pouring into his brain almost drove him crazy.

Even with filtering turned on, it would be difficult for him to develop and use the brain at such a high intensity.

After half a month of training, in fact, all Mark can do is read four books at the same time in a sober state.

Even so, he still benefited a lot - by reading some small books that were not so thick, he was able to scrape together 500 books.

"For the rest, you can take the copy back and read it slowly. I've had a few people from the Church of Light, so I won't stop you. ”

"Thank you, teacher." Mark knew that even a copy would cost a lot of mystery points. The teacher gave him most of the benefits of this 'battle'.

"Let's go! Remember to live well and try not to fall. The college still needs your golden sign to recruit students. ”

"Okay."
