Chapter 148

"It's the Torch Church," Taner replied.

"?" Originally, Bishop Kahn was preparing to curse according to the topic. He saw that Tan was still blessed by the Torch Goddess, but now he still has time to look back.

But what the hell is the Torch Church?

"The Torch Church is split," Tel said.

"I know." Bishop Kahn was not shy about this topic.

"So our Torch Church is also here," Taner explained.

"Is it a Torch Goddess who don't believe in it?"

"Why not? Now everyone is heretical, no one is orthodox." Taner looked as if he was taken for granted.

Bishop Kahn's face gradually sinks, and he feels that Taner has been brainwashed.

Taner threw a booklet out of his arms: "This is our teaching."

Bishop Kahn picked up the booklet, felt it was confirmed that there was no special force before opening it.

Throughout the article, a long passage of plagiarism tampers with the doctrine of the Torch Church.

But it does convey some ideas that are very different from the Torch Church.

Bishop Kahn reads the text very quickly and quickly turns to the last page.

"You wrote it?"

"yes."

Bishop Kahn turned back to the first page and read it slowly.

Of course, Taner was not in a hurry and sat in a chair and waited for Bishop Kahn to finish reading.

Bishop Kahn turned to the last page again, and then to the first page again.

The Torch Church's original aspiration faction represented by Karin, the King of the Red, is the core of its philosophy, which is based on humanity and uses flames to scatter evil spirits.

After reading the sixth time, Bishop Kahn closed the pamphlet that had originally looked like it had been turned over many times and had some wrinkles, and said, "Heretic."

Tinel smiled, he knew he had won.

"A doctrine alone can't prove anything," said Bishop Kahn.

“Before building trust with each other,” Tel said, “we can work together first.”

In short, it is the plan proposed by Bishop Kahn before.

The Torch Church sent people to settle in to provide services to Lord Rand and collect compensation.

Don't participate too much else.

"I need to consider it again." As the bishop of the Torch Church, Kahn has lived for a long time. It is impossible for him to agree easily like this. This requires careful investigation.

In fact, Kahn did not immediately turn against him after discovering that there was an evil god sect here. He was already a rare enlightened believer among the Torch Church.

Maybe Bishop Kahn has also seen those children who were forced to join the cult by the local lord.

But now Kahn at least confirmed that Taner had not become anything evil.

"Is there a kiln here?" Bishop Kahn asked seriously.

Chapter 219 After the war, and the King of Canhong arrived at the holy city of the Torch Church

Perot heard that the Full Moon Corps was also attacked by the Naga tribe.

This made him feel much better.

But it seems that the Naga tribe was wiped out by the army led by the Full Moon, and the specific situation is not clear.

But with the strength of the Naga tribe, I believe the losses of the Full Moon Grade will not be very small.

In this way, for Perot, the most threatening object becomes Shelan.

Shelan is still steadily advancing the development of the territory. Although the unstable factors of the territory have not been completely cleared out, development-related matters have also begun.

Although Perro also did not know the specific progress of Shelan.

At the same time, Fenris was lying on the medical bed, and the doctor followed the army to stitch the huge gap in his abdomen. However, even though he was very vital as a high-level professional, he also used healing items such as golden leaves, and wanted to recover in a short time. , it is still impossible.

But this does not particularly affect Fenris' office.

"How many captives of Naga and the fishman?" Fenris asked his adjutant Tata.

Tata is Taran's son and has good talent in all aspects. Fenris trusts him very much.

"203 fishmen, 12 female Nagas, and 20 male Nagas." Tatahui reported.

Fenris nodded and said, "So do we have talents who can speak Naga? Also, remember to soak them in water. These aquatic creatures may die if they don't soak in water."

"There is no Naga language for the Full Moon Collar, but there seems to be a minstrel in multiple languages ​​on the adventurers in the resort, and you can apply for arrangements from Lord Rand."

"Okay, that's it." Fenris agreed with the plan.

Fenris felt that these aquatic creatures were all good at strength and that they must be good materials for their work, and he felt that the den was about to start building ships.

Fenris was born as a messenger and many things will be more sensitive.

For example, he could feel the idea of ​​Viscount Rand's territory against Perot's territory and the territory of the small and medium-sized nobles around him.

And the idea of ​​that inland sea.

The existence of the inland sea brought a lot of trouble, and the fishman and Naga always harassed the aristocratic territories along the coast.

However, if the coastal aristocrats were strong enough to ignore the threat of these deep water creatures, they could develop fisheries and obtain delicious fish from the ocean.

And if the strength is stronger and the ability to build a fleet is sufficient financial and technical capabilities, inland trade can be started.

In this era, the efficiency of land trade is far less than that of marine trade.

The speed of the carriage is not as fast as that of the ship, and is also limited by the road conditions and the fact that it has to pass through many lords' territories, it has to be exploited layer by layer.

And the most important thing is cargo capacity. The cargo capacity of cargo is more than 100,800 miles away from merchant ships.

Of course, it depends on the ship's technology and the strength of the lord. After all, the Naga and the Fishman in the water are difficult to deal with.

And Fenris is sure that Rand is interested in this interest.

In this way, these fishman and Naga captives will be very useful.

They can move in the water, and their skin will not be soaked and ulcered, nor will they grow maggots because they stay in the water for a long time.

In short, they can be used to build ships.

The shipbuilding process in this era basically needs to be close to the body of water or simply operate in the water.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to transport the well-built ships to the waterside.

With the help of Naga and the fishman, it will be much more convenient to build a ship.

"Then I've made arrangements. Please pay more attention to your health and don't be too tired."

After Tata asked medical staff to take care of Fenris's physical condition, he left to arrange the matter.

Now Tata discovered a situation. The senior management of the den, including the Viscount Rand, seemed to be very interested in capturing human resources. Is there any mystery hidden in it?

...

Karin, the King of Canhong, came to the holy city of Torch Church alone.

Looking up, the holy city looked from outside and there was nothing she had seen in the past.

The dawn broke, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and gently brushed across the huge torch goddess statue in front of the city.

The moonlight has gradually faded, but because the sunlight of the sun is not so hot, now when you look up, you can still see the faint outline of the moon.

"I'm back." The King of Canhong murmured in a voice that he could only hear.

From birth to now, she has spent most of her life in this holy city.

Karin remembers that when she was a child, the holy city of the Torch Church was still very lively, and there were endless streams of free people coming to pilgrimage.

And the noble lord who came to negotiate cooperation.

Even before, when the Torch Church had not split, this holy city was still quite lively. After all, in addition to nurturing blood, there are still many cults in this world that require efficient treatment of the Torch Church.

But now, although there are still people coming in and out near the city gate, they can undoubtedly be called deserted.

Karin entered the Holy City, of course, not using the normal way of entering and exiting. She knew very well that she was no longer popular here.

Or, it was no longer popular a long time ago.

The central cathedral of the Torch Church is in the center of the Holy City, and here is the largest statue of the torch goddess in the world, as well as the ever-burning fire above the torch.

Walking on the road between churches, Karin, the King of Canhong, was about to go and ask the Pope.

The Torch Church is now divided into three factions. The leader of the utilitarian faction is the Grand Knight, the representative of the First Intention faction is Karin, the King of the Canhong, and the leader of the Torch Church is the Pope of the Torch Church.

Karin soon found the pope of the Torch Church, and the Pope was praying in front of the statue of the Torch Goddess.

Karin knew she had been discovered.

But she was not in a hurry.

"Long time no see, Lord Pope."

"Don't come and be fine? Lord Canhong."

In fact, in the past regulations of the Torch Church, the Pope was the most powerful person in the church. It’s just that after Karin became the “king”, the power of the Torch Church was deviated from Karin.

Karin respects the Pope quite well, but her philosophy is not the same as the Pope.

They had quarreled in the past, but after Karin took power, he did not really sweep the pope out of the center of power.

Maybe she shouldn't have sat in that position. She was too soft-hearted and often too bottom line, so that she would always regret it.

If she had been more decisive at the beginning, she might not have been as far as she is now and needs to be cleaned.

There was no more to say between the two.

The blonde and red-eyed king Karin looked around. At this time, there were many people in the church who were nervous. Looking at their past saint, his voice was a little cold: "Now, it's still time to turn back, I can't guarantee anything. , but at least it won't die."

The Pope sneered: "At this time, there is no need to say such things again, Karin."

"Why do you do this? Work with me, we can convince the Grand Knight that the unified Torch Church will be much better than the split ones." Karin still wanted to say more.

"School," the Pope commented. "Do you think it's not your responsibility to become like this now?"

"If it's a money issue, I've convinced two northern countries and sent people to find ways to develop the economy." Karin never got tired of it.

But the Pope was impatient: "In fact, the Torch Church is not that short of money, and the real problem is that we have too much control. We have such power, we can clearly control power, enjoy food, and have wealth, not Japanese Day after day, year after year, putting out fires throughout the world.”

The Torch Church is indeed short of money, but the Pope is not very short of money. In order to develop his own power after losing Karin's support, he naturally embezzled a lot from all aspects.

Where faith is full of faith is no different from other places. If there is profit, someone will think about it.

Anyway, the pope felt that instead of handing over the money to Karin and letting her waste it, it would be better to hold it in his own hands.

Karin finally gave up on convincing the pope, and she found that she still had many things she didn't know about in the past.

There are always many places where torches are placed in the churches of the Torch Church.

It was still dawn just now, and the sky was just dawn.

When Karin made up her mind, all the torches burning with flames suddenly lit up.

According to the doctrine of the Torch Church, flames should be used to smooth out evil spirits, protect humans, dispel darkness and bring warmth.

And now, the torch pope in front of him has become an evil demon that needs to be flattened in Karin's eyes.

The Pope had long expected that the King of Canhong Karin would come back, so he made a lot of preparations in advance.

There are not only professionals from the Torch Church, but also some strong people who have cooperated with the Pope of the Torch Church.

Moreover, the Torch Pope regarded Karin as an imaginary enemy a long time ago, so he naturally carefully studied Karin, the King of Canhong, and guessed possible weaknesses.

For example, anti-gun potion and anti-fire magic set.

The Torch Church's believers are already resistant to flames, especially some of the most superior professions, who also have some understanding of the nature of flames, plus a complete set of flame resistance.

But it's still far from enough-

There is no clear record in this world, and it is a record of successfully attacking the "king" professionals.
