Rorsted Islands, 'City of Generosity' Byam, on the bell tower of the Church of the Waves.

Alger looked into the harbor in the distance, where the fleet belonging to the Church of the Storm set sail with the sound of a whistle, carrying the believers of the Church of the Storm into the distance.

At the same time, a large number of rebels entered the city and took over the facilities that had belonged to the colonial government.

People rushed to tell each other and lined up in the streets of Byam to welcome each other, with lights and smiles on their faces.

Most of these people are native, and the rebels, who are also native, are undoubtedly more popular than the Rune who colonized and enslaved them.

For them, the presence of the rebels was not a disaster, but a symbol of liberation.

As soon as Alger flashed such a thought, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears.

Alger turned his head, and behind him stood a man in the prime of life.

He has soft yellow hair, wears a robe embroidered with lightning bolts, and his name is Sainz, who is Alger's former partner. But then one chose to be the captain of the ghost ship and continued to drift the seas, and the other returned to the clergy.

Now, one of them has become a cardinal of the Rorsted Islands, while the other has been sent to Bayam as a bishop.

Alger knew that Sainz had other special meaning to stay here, but he didn't care. Because the moment Ion Courtman asked him to stay as a cardinal, Alger understood everything.

Alger spoke slowly:

"Don't get in the way of the Church of Fools taking over the church, and try not to get into conflict with them."

"Understood." Sainz said solemnly.

While it wasn't clear why the Church of the Storm had withdrawn from the Rorsted Islands to a little-known Church of the Fool, Sainz knew that there must be secret deals inside that he didn't know about, and he didn't need to know why, he just had to carry out his mission.

"Storm believers who do not want to leave will routinely come to pray, and the Church of the Fool will not get in the way. But stop preaching to the locals, stop all missionary acts, and don't do anything superfluous unless a believer comes to pray. ”

"In addition to that, ask the clergy of the Storm Church to avoid going out as much as possible."

Sainz frowned, puzzled:

"Is it necessary to do this to this extent? The Church of the Fool is not like an aggressive type. ”

Alger said in a deep voice:

"I'm not worried about them, it's the local natives!"

Sainston's heart sank.

In the decades that the Rorsted Islands were colonized by Rune, the Storm Church has been trying to develop the local indigenous people into believers. Unfortunately, because of the presence of the 'sea god' Kavituwa, the missionary efficiency has not been high.

Although some of the indigenous people converted to the Storm Church, they were only a minority.

Most of them are still hostile to the kingdom of Rune, which colonized them, and are full of hatred for the Storm Church that forced them to convert. In the past, there was absolute power to suppress, and these natives did not dare to openly resist the Storm Church.

But now, most of the forces of the Storm Church have evacuated Byam, and the Church of the Fools and the Resistance have taken over the city. This is likely to unleash pent-up hatred among local Aboriginal people, some of whom will try to go on a rampage against Storm Church believers and clergy.

Sainz took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I'll tell you to go down."

Sainz was actually a little unhappy in his heart, when did the Storm Church suffer these grievances?

But after all, it was the cardinal's order, and what he said was indeed reasonable, for the good of the clergy, so Sainz couldn't say anything.

Alger nodded slightly, then handed a book to Sainz.

Sainz glanced at the cover:

The Word of the Fool.

Sainz's pupils shrank, this is the holy text of the Church of Fools, why is it in Alger's hands?

Alger saw the suspicion in Sainz's eyes and spoke:

"Gather all the clergy and let them recompile the Book of Storms according to the sacred texts of the Church of Fools."

Sainz's expression changed drastically, and he said sharply:

"Are you crazy?!"

The cession of the Rorsted Islands to the Church of Fools was a decision made by Archbishop Courtman, a directive from the Pope himself. And this is not a substantial loss for the Storm Church.

During the war, it was already difficult for the Storm Church to take care of the interests of the Rorsted Islands, not to mention that their mission here had not been very successful. They are very much rejected by the local indigenous people, so the relinquishment of the Rorsted Islands now will do more harm than harm to the Storm Church.

Although it lost its long-term foothold in the Rorsted Islands, it also gained the support of the Church of the Fool as an ally, and at the same time, it was able to shrink its forces to better defend the island of Passus, and even counterattack the Vorsaks.

But what Alger wants to do is completely different, he actually wants to change the Book of Storms!

This is undoubtedly shaking the foundations of the Storm Church and is an absolute apostasy!

For a moment, Sainz even had the idea of dying to the death with Alger!

Facing Sainz, who was a little angry, Alger still said in a calm tone:

"This is the Pope's instructions."

As he spoke, he spread out his palms and showed the contents of his palms.

It was a badge, a 'Storm Emblem' composed of symbols such as wind, waves, and thunder, and it contained a sacred and violent aura, and the mere glance made people feel the urge to bow down and surrender.

Sainz immediately calmed down, because he had served in the headquarters and could clearly recognize the difference of this holy emblem, which contained the power that belonged to Pope Gad II!

And this directly confirms Alger's words, which are the orders of the Pope.

And the Pope is the spokesman of the Lord of the Storm in the world, that is to say, this is an oracle issued by the Lord of the Storm himself!

But why did the Lord of the Storm issue such an oracle? Why would they be asked to do such a thing? And why did it come at a critical moment when Courtman and others left the Rorsted Islands and Alger took over the cardinalship? Could this have been forged by Alger?

No.

Even if Alger was already a demigod, how could he forge the emblem of an angel? Even if other angels intervene, their power will be very different from that of the Pope, and they will not make him feel familiar.

But if not, how can we explain what is happening now?

Sainz's mind was a mess, and all sorts of thoughts came to his mind one after another.

Seeing Sainz silent, Alger sighed imperceptibly.

Although he had been coerced by Ziringus to do things that were unfaithful to the Church, although he joined the Tarot Society, became more and more distant from the 'Storm Abyss', believed in Mr. 'Fool', and sought greater power and power, although he repeatedly betrayed the Church's intelligence and was passive in some things, he always felt that he could still be regarded as a believer in the 'Storm Lord'.

Because of this, the suspicion of this former friend in front of him really made him a little sad.

In the end, Sainz's faith still made him force the uneasy thought to be suppressed, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"I'll tell them."

Alger was about to speak, when his heart suddenly moved, and he cast his gaze to the northwest sky.

As far as his eyes could see, the sky darkened, and layers of dark clouds piled up, and countless silver-white electric snakes jumped out.

Many deep blue waves swelled high, swept by the wind, and ran all the way to the clouds, connecting the sky and the sea.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, the lights lit up one after another, they were not brilliant, they were not pure, they did not have any color, as if they were composed of a large number of illusory things.

——

"Praise Mr. 'Fool'!"

Everywhere in Byam, the residents of Silver City and Moon City, who were taking over the city with the rebels, stopped at the same time.

They watched the sky change as they muttered to themselves, pressing their right palms to their left chests.

The rebels hesitated slightly, but soon became infected, and the ranks rang out with the sound of praise.

Eventually, the 'infection' spread throughout the city.

Almost all the inhabitants are actively or passively bowing their heads and reciting devotionally:

"Praise to Mr. 'Fool'!"

——

Above the gray mist, Klein the Fool takes in everything that has happened in Byam. He heard a myriad of illusory voices coming out of the air, mixed with real praise, surrounding him, fixing him.

"The effect is better than expected." Crane muttered under his breath.

I thought that it would be difficult to develop the inhabitants of Byam into their own believers, and it would take a long time to run-in. But as it turns out, it's far from being as difficult as it seems.

On the one hand, there is the foundation of the 'sea god' Kavituwa, and on the other hand, there is also the assistance of 'expelling' the Storm Church, performing miracles to protect the Rorsted Islands, and distributing relief food, under the leadership of the residents of Silver City and Moon City, it caused a huge resonance throughout Byam, directly making the vast majority of the city's residents become his followers!

Although more than 99 percent of them are shallow believers, they belong to the type that although they believe in you today, the gate may convert to other beings tomorrow because of the more relief food given by other churches.

But no matter how shallow a believer is, it is also a believer!

At least in numbers, the Church of the Fool already has millions of believers!

Although there is still a slight gap compared to the Seven Great True Gods, compared to the True Creator, the Primordial Witch, the Bound God and other evil gods who can only secretly develop believers, he has already won hemp.

However, this is also thanks to the cooperation of the Lord of the Storm.

If it weren't for the fact that He took the initiative to give up the interests of the Rorsted Islands and come to an agreement with the Church of the Fools. The Church of the Fool could not have moved into Byam so easily, let alone had millions of believers in such a short period of time.

Moreover, he offered Alger to compile "The Lord of the Storm", which has actually made his position clear.

He does not intend to be an enemy of the Fool, nor is he intended to be an enemy of the First Fire.

There's something wrong with that.

For the Lord of the Storm did not know their plans, or their entire plans. Even if the Goddess of the Night had a slightly better relationship with the Lord of the Storm, she would not reveal these secrets to him.

However, the Lord of the Storm still made a change, choosing to show kindness to the Fool, and let Alger, who was already a clear card, preside over the recompilation of the Book of Storms, but did not specify a specific direction, in fact, he gave the initiative to the 'Fool', and he decided the contents.

Of course, the Lord of the Storm is not unguarded.

He removed all the members of the Storm Church from Byam ahead of schedule, leaving only some of the clergy of the Church of the Waves, who were responsible for compiling it. At the same time, the 'Fools' have also kept the entire Rorsted Islands 'secret', so that outsiders cannot enter them, and those inside cannot leave without permission.

And since these people are under the control of the Church of Fools, and the person in charge of the compilation work is still a two-five boy, then what kind of content the Book of Storms will present is completely up to him, the 'Fool'.

But at the same time, because Byam was 'hidden'. People on the outside won't know what's going on inside, they won't know that Alger and they're trying to rewrite the Book of Storms. As long as no one knows, the impact of rewriting the Book of Storms can be minimized.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Lord of the Storm repents in the future, he can also directly 'humanely destroy' the Wave Church and eliminate all traces. Even if someone finds clues afterwards, Alger can take the blame - it is he who forged the emblem and deceived other clergy into desecrating the Book of Storms, which has nothing to do with the Church of the Storm.

Klein sighed in his heart:

"The Lord of the Storm is indeed a wise man."

Everyone thinks that the extraordinary people of the 'sailor' path are manic and irritable, often unable to distinguish the difference between joking and ridicule, and once the anger erupts, they don't even think about the big picture, so few people like to deal with them.

And as the 'tyrant' at the apex of this path, the image of the Lord of the Storm has always been a grumpy lord. For example, in various legends, the Storm Initiative likes to punish heretics and traitors with lightning.

But judging from the information Klein has, it is clear that this storm lord is not as simple as it seems.

If he was really so irritable and impulsive, he wouldn't have done so many things that didn't match his personality.

Whether it's the orchestrated betrayal of the ancient sun god in the Tertiary Age, or the demand for restraint from the Storm Church in all-out war, or the act of unleashing kindness on the Fool during this incident, it all shows that beneath the wild exterior of the Storm Lord lies a delicate heart.

Ember had met the Ancient Sun God, and the Storm Lord was only a Wind Angel at the time, and although he had not dealt directly with Ember, he must have found some clues in his observations of the Ancient Sun God.

It wasn't enough to help Him see the whole picture, but it was enough to keep Him on his toes. That's why He thinks more deeply than others to make these seemingly unreasonable actions.

This is a wolf king-like existence, and the extraordinary person of the Storm Church is indeed very similar to the space wolf.

For example, 'The Hanged Man' Alger is a prime example.

Obviously an extraordinary person in the Sailor Path, but even Klein sometimes feels that he is more of a 'conspirator' in the Hunter Path.

Klein sighed with emotion and looked at the embers on the side:

"He's so sensible, and it's not easy for us to do anything to him."

Ember said indifferently:

"It's okay, it's all the same."

"That's right."

Crane smiled, the Lord of the Storm was clever enough to guess something, but He wasn't smart enough.

His vision is still not wide enough to see the essence of the matter.

After all, He didn't know what a black soul was and what a primordial fire was.
