The Cathedral of San Marino is a church located in the west of Salahan, and it is also the only three churches in Salahan that can be crowned with the word in front of the church.

In charge of the church is Archbishop Edric, who is also one of the eighteen cardinal archbishops in the Holy Church with the highest status after the pope.

In terms of the magnificence, the Cathedral of San Marino is a magnificent temple and a huge atmosphere, and thousands of worshippers come here every day to pray to the Holy Spirit, listen to the priest's sermons and explain the teachings.

Walking down the long white jade staircase, Huey was led by the little boy Bill to explore the surrounding landscape.

Today is the Holy Baptism Day, which takes place every seven days.

The large square in front of the church was filled with no less than 5,000 believers.

The priest's solemn sermon sounded over the cathedral, with solemn holiness.

According to the rules of the Church of the Holy Spirit, non-believers can also observe this sacred and solemn ceremony at the time of the Holy Baptism, but they are not allowed to make loud noises.

Hui was also able to join other tourists in stopping around the square to admire.

To Huey's surprise, the Basilica of San Marino was guarded by at least 100 paladins.

He couldn't help but ask Bill, "Could it be that every church is guarded by so many holy warriors?"

Little Bill shrugged: "That's not it, there were only about ten paladins in the church before. A few days ago, however, all the churches had suddenly increased the number of caretaker warriors in large numbers. ”

"Why?"

"It's not because of that Xiu Igler, I heard that he defeated the Sanctuary mage of the Lance Empire, and broke the Sanctuary, I really can't imagine how the power of the realm could be cracked. The guy said he was coming to church headquarters. ”

"So this is the attitude of the church towards the coming of Huyglare?

"Sort of. The boy replied.

Huey let out a soft sneer.

Luckily, before he came, he had changed his appearance slightly, dyeing the gold black and his skin a little darker. Otherwise, I am afraid that as soon as I step into the gate of Salahan, I will be recognized.

Judging from this arrangement, the attitude of the Holy Spirit Church towards his coming is not friendly.

"I really don't understand why the church is so hostile to that Huyglare. Little Bill couldn't figure it out. In his opinion, it was obviously unwise for Huigler to provoke such a powerful enemy.

"Because he is a soul mage, and the teachings of the Holy Spirit Church do not allow soul mages to exist in this world. ”

"Oh yes, soul mages are the most evil beings in this world, even more evil than necromancers and dark mages!" replied little Bill very seriously.

"Then can you tell me why soul mages are evil?"

"Because soul mages play with people's souls. The human soul is the embodiment of the will, the fundamental reason why human beings are noble over other living beings. We cannot tolerate any life desecrating the soul of humanity. Little Bill spoke a lot of words very fluently, and it was clear that this was the daily indoctrination of the Holy Spirit Church.

Xiu Yi shook his head again and again, "Playing with the soul?" Soul spells are nothing more than the ability to influence human consciousness, where can it be said to be a toy? Magic is a divine being, the result of the evolution of this natural force, and no spell can be described as a toy. ”

"Then why do you think the church forbids the existence of soul mages?"

"Because they are the ones who are really playing with the will of the human race. Xiu Yi said coldly.

This answer made little Bill shudder, and looked at Huey in some surprise.

All the while, Xiu Yi pondered what it was that caused the Holy Spirit Church to massacre soul mages. In a later discussion with Raschel, Huey came to the heart of the matter.

In the past, religion existed only because people were oppressed by life. Religion was born to free people from suffering in their hearts, which is the positive meaning of its existence in society.

And in order to do this, one must first weave a world for believers to believe.

To put it bluntly, all doctrines, including the Bible, are actually fantasy to some extent, but this kind of fantasy story has a larger framework, a clearer structure, a clearer purpose, and a wider spread. As for rationality and logic, it is not at all.

Unlike ordinary fantasy, the latter only needs to entertain the reader and blatantly declare that it is fiction from the outset, while the former firmly believes that it is real, and even resorts to all means, including coercion, when necessary, to convince people that it is true.

The purpose of the latter is only to make some money to support the family, while the purpose of the former is to enslave people. Although it is undeniable that religion has its positive effect in comforting the believer and at the same time exhorting people to do good, in the same way, everything will change in essence in the later stages of development—it will gradually become a tool for the powerful to enslave their people.

There is a very real legend that the Bible was written by a group of famous scholars by order of a certain Roman monarch in order to establish the divine sanctity of the monarchy and serve to enslave people's minds.

But this is the religious situation in the age of the earth.

And in the magical age of the Wind Roaring 6, the most incomprehensible thing for Xiu Yi is that neither the Church of the Cataclysms nor the Church of the Holy Spirit actually has a holy book like the Bible or the Quran.

They have doctrines, but they are general and non-standardized, have a clear purpose and utilitarianism, but lack effective management skills.

This seemed inconceivable to Huey.

Without clear doctrines, holy relics, and without clear thoughts, how can we guide the masses?

The answer that Huey eventually found was: magic.

Any society will exhibit its own unique civilization according to its own characteristics. Societies with magic will inevitably use magic rather than civilization to make all sorts of things.

The propagation and promotion of religion no longer relied on rigorous doctrines and incendiary speeches, but on the advent of miracles and the influence of magic.

When he was in Fragrant Leaf City, Xiu Yi once saw a holy knight use the spell "Cleanse Filth" on himself, and at that time he felt a strange aura: why this kind of spell can affect people's body and mind like soul spells. These influences are harmless and beneficial to people, but they can affect people's consciousness and make people look up to the specified goal.

While the effect is positive and pleasant, the consequence is that people believe in it and worship it.

Therefore, during the research and discussion during that time, Xiu Yixun came to a conclusion, which was also a very terrible conclusion: there were actually certain characteristics of soul spells hidden in divine magic, which could affect human will. It is by virtue of this magic that the Church of the Holy Spirit can unscrupulously promote their religion so that people will accept it and worship it willingly.

In contrast, the Church of the Scourge actually has similar methods, but it is not so hidden.

It is impossible for the divine spell itself to have the means of soul spelling, so Xiu Yi speculated that some powerful person must have secretly modified the divine spell, which is undoubtedly a huge innovation and enlightenment. But no matter how divine spells affect people's hearts, it is certain that they cannot be used against true soul spells.

In other words, people who have been influenced by divine magic and have been devout to the Church since then are equally likely to be cleared of that potential influence by soul mages.

This is why the Church of the Holy Spirit resolutely does not allow any soul mages to exist, for fear that their secrets will be revealed by the soul mages, for fear that the believers will be cleansed of their former influence.

This is a choice of interests, and it is also an inevitable product, and after Huey came to this conclusion, he was almost 100% sure that it must be so.

Of course, a Huey Gler will not have a big impact on the entire Holy Spirit Church to popularize the teachings and absorb believers, but the problem is that Huey's identity as a soul mage is public, and if he is not killed, it will be difficult to convince the public.

This makes it difficult for the Church of the Holy Spirit to choose.

That's why Xiu Yi said that the existence of playing with the human will is actually the Church of the Holy Spirit.

Little Bill was taken aback by this statement, and Huey didn't care what others thought.

At this moment, the thought that because of this, the Holy Spirit Church would massacre soul mages, Xiu Yi's heart was on fire.

At this moment in the main square of the church, the priest of the sermon has stepped down, and the next moment is the time of the Holy Baptism.

The so-called holy baptism is to cleanse the hearts of people from unclean thoughts, so that people will turn their hearts to good and not to evil.

A Light Pastor stands above, shouting a eulogy to God.

He raised his hands in the air, and a divine white light rose from his palm, rushing into the sky, flickering into countless colorful glows.

These rays of light shine above the heads of the believers, like a gentle wind, blowing through the hearts of every believer, making people feel very comfortable.

Then, the brilliance of the sky became more and more brilliant, forming countless stars in the sky.

These star-like lights shone like stars, falling like rain on people's heads and disappearing in an instant, while at the same time, the faces of each believer showed a look of intoxication.

However, not all of these stars fell on the believers, and some of them fell on the tourists on the side of the square as if consciously.

Some tourists immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God, I feel the breath of the gods." That divine feeling ......"

For a time, countless tourists were shocked by this holy baptism, and they all knelt down to the priest of light on the high place.

A handful of stars also fell on Huey.

Xiu Yi immediately felt a trace of soul energy burrowing into his body, bringing him an extremely comfortable feeling, as if he was as intoxicating as a mouthful of heroin, but at the same time, he could feel this huge divine aura.

And so it was!

Xiui sneered.

Is this how these despicable fellows perform the so-called holy baptism and deceive believers?

No wonder they can be so generous as to let tourists visit the Holy Baptismal Day, their real purpose is actually to let these tourists also feel the greatness of the so-called "God"?

A baptism like this can not only strengthen the faith of the original believers, but also bring in more believers, and by the way, promote the Church of the Holy Spirit

It is no wonder that the virtue of generosity can stand in this world for thousands of years and grow rapidly.

It is obviously the rule of darkness, but it can still make countless people fall for it.

They are the real masters of playing with the soul, the experts of deception, and a group of real, thorough gods!

Xiuyi's heart was on fire, and the aura that had penetrated into his body suddenly disappeared at the same time, and he was merged into the magic furnace in his body.

At the same time, four chilling words jumped out of Xiuyi's mouth: "Devour...... Field!"

A powerful devouring force field instantly enveloped the entire San Marino Cathedral.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if the end had come.

The article that was just written disappeared mysteriously again, or the same as last time, after it was written, it didn't freeze, it didn't shut down, just put it away, and it suddenly disappeared......

Completely dizzy.

Can only be rewritten one more time.

Didn't check either.

Damn it.

Wrath!

Did Xiuyi's Devouring Realm swallow up my manuscript as well?
