Chapter 58: Communication

When a shark swims past a school of fish, all the fish flee in panic.

When the tiger comes to the sheepfold, the breath alone is enough to drive the sheep crazy.

Along the way, the huge devouring force field emanating from Xiuyi's body affected everyone around him.

Every time a believer's magical influence is removed, there are more signs of chaos in the streets.

From this point of view, the Church of the Holy Spirit's pursuit of the soul mage is indeed a very self-interested act: just one Xiu Igler has made Salahan suddenly chaotic.

However, the situation did not last long.

Huey's anger has already caused too much trouble to the Church of the Holy Spirit, and he is here to unite the forces of the Church, not to divide them. Therefore, this moment can be regarded as a small lesson for the other party.

It might reveal his coming, but it didn't matter to him anymore.

The cathedrals of the Church of the Holy Spirit in the distance sounded the alarm bells, apparently discovering the urgency of the problem.

The Church of the Holy Spirit doesn't seem to be the first time it has encountered a mindful awakened believer, so it responds in time. A large number of holy priests rushed out of the church, casting spells similar to sacred prayers into the sky.

The warm light shone like the sun, and every time it shone on a rampant believer, it would make the other person pause and be in a state of temporary disorientation.

"An evil devil has entered Salahan and has cast an evil curse on the believers of the Holy Spirit! Find out quickly!" shouted a holy priest who seemed to be of considerable status.

A large number of holy warriors began to look around the streets for the perpetrators in the shadows, they seemed quite experienced, the samurai were responsible for interrogation, questioning, and force vigilance, the priest was responsible for calming people's minds, straightening out the chaos, monitoring the fluctuations of magic, and the magician and samurai worked together in a strict and orderly manner.

A person in the sky, wearing a white sacred robe and a tricorne hat, looked around with a solemn expression.

His eyes seemed to have a strange magical power, emitting a soft magical glow that spread out like water streaks. These water streaks are formless and colorless in the air, and can only be detected by elemental perception, and each time they touch a person, they will splash some small ripples on him, and then continue to spread outward.

Xiu Yi's heart moved slightly, knowing that this should be another gaze-guided reconnaissance spell. It is likely that this spell has a special effect on the power in the human body, and the other party uses this method to perceive an unknown powerful existence around them. This method allows you to identify noteworthy characters in the first place, and then distinguish between friend and foe.

However, the current Xiu Yi is no longer something that can be detected by casual people.

His heart moved slightly, and all the power in his body stopped, simulating the state of being like an ordinary person.

The breath of power reached him, like the current of water rushing through a still giant whale, without splashing a single wave.

The Divine ** Master's spell search range seemed to be quite wide, and he continued to probe outward for a long distance before floating down from the air.

He came up to a cardinal and said to the bishop, "Lord Ismand, there are only four warriors and one magician who have been identified, but they are all low-level existences, and they have not found any too powerful enemies around, maybe the enemy who caused us trouble has fled. ”

The cardinal archbishop shook his head slightly: "Don't jump to conclusions, Miguel, if you don't find the enemy, it doesn't mean that the enemy isn't here." The real result, maybe the opposite, is not that he is not here, but that the enemy is too strong for you to find him. ”

"Yes. ”

"Sometimes, though, some things don't have to be done by magic, and sober observation is sometimes more effective than magic. The cardinal said suddenly.

His gaze was like lightning, cutting through the chaotic long street, and suddenly fell on Xiuyi's body.

In that look, there was a hint of confidence in everything.

Xiu Yi paused slightly, met the cardinal's eyes, and the two of them looked at each other like this.

At the same moment with each other, it seems that they all understand a lot at once.

The cardinal's grim eyes finally dimmed.

He sighed softly, "Let the priests continue the work of pacifying, resolve all the chaos at once, and then let the paladins take over." ”

"What?" the recon mage named Miguel said, "Lord Ismand, what do you mean by that?"

"I've seen it with the Light Channeling spell, and the truth may be that the enemy is gone, as you say. So, wrap it up. This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to mention it again. ”

"But ......"

"I'll explain to the Pope!" the cardinal's voice was stern, and Miguel finally bowed his head and said nothing.

The order to collect the troops was given, and all the Paladins returned at the same time, returning to various places under the leadership of the ministers. Priests also returned after reusing their spells to affect believers who had previously lost control. The spell that cleanses people's hearts is not something that can be used once or twice, and it takes time to accumulate over time, but as long as it can temporarily calm the dissatisfaction and hatred in the hearts of those believers, the crisis can be resolved first.

Calm finally returned to the streets, and everything was as dull as before.

Only Huey stood coldly on a street corner, looking at the cardinal archbishop.

He suddenly said to little Bill, "You go back first, I want to walk around here alone." ”

Little Bill was already frightened by what happened today, and hurriedly nodded and fled.

Huey gave the cardinal archbishop a mysterious smile, then turned and walked towards a teahouse.

Cardinal Isman thought for a moment and finally followed.

———————————

The environment in the teahouse is clean and elegant, especially when the incident just made a fuss, and the business ran out.

Xiu Yi asked for a side room, and sat alone in the side room and waited.

Soon, there was a polite knock on the door outside the wing.

"Please come in. ”

Eastand pushed the door in.

"I'm sorry to bother, I'm Cardinal Isman of the Holy Spirit Church, a friend from afar, and I hope you will have the opportunity for me to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

The dignified cardinal archbishop was suddenly so polite to a young man of unknown origin, if he let outsiders see it, he was afraid that he would lose his big teeth.

Xiu Yi smiled and pointed his hand to the other side, "Lord Ismand, please be seated." ”

He didn't stand up to greet him.

Isman sat unceremoniously across from Huey.

He looked at Xiuyi's young and handsome face, and suddenly sighed slightly, before he said, "Your Excellency Xiu Yiglare, I really admire your courage. With your means, you would have avoided such a clumsy disguise. ”

"It's okay to be able to hide from ordinary people, anyway, when you come to Salahan, you have to deal with a few big people in the Church of the Holy Spirit. Huey replied indifferently.

Ismander was not at all surprised that he could see through his identity at a glance.

The whole street was so chaotic that he was the only one who kept his calm at all times.

Most of the people of Salrahan didn't have a chance to see his appearance of Xiu Igler, but a cardinal-level figure was very likely to have seen him fight on Hidden Moon Peak, and naturally understood his body and appearance. He simply changed the color of his hair and put on a little makeup, and Ismander could connect with the terrifying image of Xiu Yi on Hidden Moon Peak with just one glance.

Thinking about the fact that there are only a handful of strong people who can make Salahan into such a mess, and there is only one person who will appear in Salahan in the near future, Ismand can naturally guess the identity of the other party.

To Huey's satisfaction, Ismand was indeed a smart man. After he found out, he didn't immediately order someone to do it, but immediately transferred all the search samurai and came to meet Xiui alone.

"Why don't you inform His Majesty the Pope at once, and come to me yourself?" asked Huey.

Eastand sighed, "Since you have openly said that you want to come to the Church of the Holy Spirit, you must have a reason. I think that no matter what the motivation behind it is, the church should listen before making a decision. What's more, with your current strength, even the powerhouses of the Holy Realm are no match for you, so why should I drag a large number of church elites up to send them to death?"

Huey smiled.

Despite the outward fanfare of the Holy Spirit Church for Huey's arrival, behind the scenes, there are still a group of people who think they should try to make peace with Huey. After all, Xiuyi's current strength is far beyond their imagination. The Sanctuary can't defeat him, and the crowd tactics have no chance of winning against the puppet army, no matter what the era, it is not wise to be the enemy of the strong.

Ismander is a prime example of this idea.

Before Hue came, Miyea had analyzed for him some of the internal figures in the Church of the Holy Spirit. At that time, he told Huey with certainty that the Pope might not be able to tolerate a figure like Huey out of his own interests, but for many people under the Pope, it was not necessarily impossible.

Cooperating with a soul mage will certainly hurt the dignity and face of the Holy Spirit Church, but it is better than destroying the entire church by a super sanctuary.

Therefore, before coming, Miyea gave Huey a suggestion.

Of course, even Xiu Yi himself did not expect that in the end this proposal would be carried out in this situation.

I hope that this Ismand, in addition to having enough wisdom and vision, has enough courage.

At this moment, Ismande asked, "May I ask you what is the reason for this?"

Huey replied: "For the future destiny of mankind." ”

Only then did Xiu tell the story of the impending invasion of the Abyss.

The news was like a bombshell, leaving Isman dumbfounded.

"Master Ismand, I'm sorry I used some indecent tactics to lure you out. But at the same time, I really don't like the way the Church of the Holy Spirit recruits believers. Second, before I can be promoted to the Pope, I also need to talk to someone of sufficient weight. Thankfully, Lord Ismand, you're here, and you have the vision and mind I was looking for. So I think we can talk about the next thing. ”

"What's next? What's going on?"

"It is a very difficult choice to unite all continents to fight against the abyss and put aside all religious prejudices. If necessary, the Holy Knights of the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Knights of Doom of the Church of the Scourge may even be on the same battlefield to fight for the fate of humanity. I am concerned that His Majesty the Pope will not agree to such a union. That's when I need to get some allies to support me. Unfortunately, I don't have any foundation in the Holy Spirit Church, so I can only use this way to actively fight for everyone who might be my ally. Lord Ismand, I hope you can be the first of these. ”

"It's ridiculous, I've known you for less than an hour. ”

"It's not about friendship, it's about survival. Xiu Yi said seriously.

Ismander looked down and thought for a while, and finally said, "I admit that you have a point, but why don't you speak directly to His Majesty the Pope about this, and why do you think he will firmly disagree?"

"Because he is the Pope, his position is ...... Unlike us. Huey replied slowly: "The Pope is not only a religious leader, but also a statesman. Do you know what politicians are, Lord Ismand, who see the world as a chessboard, human life as a pawn, and everything can be sacrificed and anything can be given up. I can tell you with great responsibility that His Majesty the Pope will never agree to unite with the Church of the Scourge, Lord Ismand. Because he will see the long term very long, so long as to give up the imminent crisis for the sake of that illusory possibility. ”

"What is the illusion of possibility?"

"The invasion of the Northern Continent by the Church of the Scourge. Xiu Yi said word for word.

The Church of the Scourge is a religion whose main doctrine is to preach the imminent end of the world, and claim that only they can save the world, because their gods have long seen the impending catastrophe and have made various plans to deal with it. The Church of the Scourge exists with the destiny of salvation.

And the Church of the Holy Spirit, in order to combat heresy, accuses all other denominations of heresy. Therefore, the Church of the Holy Spirit spares absolutely no effort to condemn the doctrinal accusations of the Church of the Scourge. They claim that the Holy Spirit blesses the world, and as long as they believe in the Holy Spirit, they do not have to worry about the invasion of evil beings.

But now here's the problem, the abyss invasion has become an act that is ready to fly.

The prestige of the Church of the Holy Spirit will be dealt a blow by this, and the prestige of the Church of the Cataclysm will certainly rise.

If the continents cooperate, then the ecclesiastical powers can freely enter each other's worlds, and by the way, they can preach their own teachings without hindrance. Under the coercion of the abyss, the doctrine of the Church of the Holy Spirit will definitely not make sense, but the doctrine of the Church of the Scourge will inevitably prevail, even if there is no magic control, the brainwashing of the doctrine can bring a large number of believers to the Church of the Catastrophe.

In other words, even if the abyss invasion can be repelled in the future, I am afraid that the Holy Spirit Church will only face a situation in which believers are scattered and the enemy religion sits on the throne, and in the end it will still be a way to ruin.

This is the simplest trend, and it is impossible for His Holiness the Pope not to see this.

In this case, he was asked to cooperate willingly with the Church of the Catastrophe...... It's just too hard, it's too hard.

Huey only gave him a brief reminder, and Ismander immediately understood the point.

He was a little stunned, obviously not expecting Xiu Yi to take such a long-term view of the problem.

He did not simply consider the problem from the opposite side of the pope, but from the position of the pope, so it was easy to draw conclusions.

"I ...... I do not believe that His Majesty would have made such a decision in such a situation. ”

Huey smiled: "I hope it won't be like that, but you know that people do things, sometimes you have to think about the worst possible way and plan ahead. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Quite simply, if he's sane enough, that's fine. If it is not enough, then it will have to be replaced by a pope. Xiu Yi took a sip of the tea in the cup: "Then change to a responsible superior." ”
