Chapter 1068: The truth and difficulties
Sally struggled internally for a while.
It wasn't until he saw Zong Shen lazily looking like he was about to fall asleep that he finally came to his senses.
She has never stopped being shocked since arriving here.
I almost forgot my original intention.
She specifically wanted to see Zong Shen again and reminded him to leave the area as soon as possible.
Within the church, the three archbishops had paid enough sacrifices to God.
At that time, a teleportation channel from Jackdaw Valley to the giant city of Lentax will be opened.
At the same time, there will be a projection of God coming to Lentax!
What the church has to do is to cause complete chaos within the jurisdiction of the giant city and plunder as many people and materials as possible within three days.
For the Raven God, human souls and flesh and blood are also excellent sacrifices.
Can be used to complete various rituals.
In addition, Jackdaw Valley really needs to replenish its population and expand the size of its believers.
In the past ten years, the number of new church members has been declining, and if things continue like this, they will be expelled sooner or later.
In addition to church priests, deacons, and bishops, the warriors of the major apostolic groups also need to be selected from believers.
If the Calamity Raven Church does not take action and attack the giant city to replenish new blood, I am afraid that the entire generation of believers will soon be cut off.
Therefore, the church finally decided to abandon the line of the second prince Carter Pendragon and directly use divine power to attack the giant city of Lentax, which was a helpless move.
They have no choice, no way out.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was a desperate decision.
All villages, cities, and caravans within the entire Lentax jurisdiction will be severely affected!
This is why Safuri came all the way from the giant city more than 4,000 kilometers away.
It's just that Zong Shen's changes have already exceeded her cognitive imagination.
No one would have thought that Zong Shen was still a newcomer in the eyes more than a month ago.
He unexpectedly became a legendary powerhouse, a real powerhouse who could sit in a huge city, serve as a high-level military attaché, and command the city's legions!
Moreover, there is more than one legendary combat power in the territory, as well as two pure-blooded true dragons!
This kind of strength is enough to get involved in the upcoming chaos of Lentax.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
This kind of excitement can be considered a gaffe.
Flicking up her crimson hair, she picked up the wine glass and took a big sip of the slightly astringent wine. Safuri exhaled heavily.
His flushed face became slightly more normal.
My weak legs also gained some strength.
She knew something was wrong with her current state. She had never been so out of control since she was a child.
And this kind of gaffe and the longing in her heart made her feel ashamed.
In fact, Sally is not a frivolous woman.
She still abides by her chastity.
When she was in Jackdaw Valley, those believers and congregants did not dare to tease her.
And keeping chastity is one of the principles to maintain the strength of the divine blood in the body.
Occasionally, when he goes out on missions, the flirtatiousness and teasing he displays are just for fun.
She is actually quite indifferent to sensuality.
After all, I have lived in the church since I was a child, and I have been washed away by fanatical doctrines and brainwashed by the worship of gods every day.
】
In such an environment, no matter how normal a woman is, she will become abnormal.
So at this moment, Safuri was very surprised by the desire she showed.
But this does not prevent her from liking Zong Shen.
The former is a rational self-examination of oneself, while the latter is the true thoughts after the emotional attack.
No matter there was some reason that she didn't understand, or some kind of invisible driving force.
It was a done deal that she fell in love with Zong Shen.
This made Safuri suddenly look back and understand why she had been thinking about him all this time.
However, without breaking away from the church, there is no way to get rid of the raven spirit and the personality of fanatical belief in the body.
She is not even qualified to pursue love.
Safuli knew that she was the lamb of God. She had prayed in front of the altar more than once, dedicating everything she had to the great Raven God.
Thinking of this, her restless heart finally cooled down.
After drinking the remaining wine in her glass, Zong Shen, who had been waiting impatiently, filled it up again for her.
"Feel sorry…"
"I remembered something."
She stood up and bowed apologetically to Zong Shen.
The wide robe swings, and the dark red hair rises and falls with the figure.
"Tsk, it's still so promising!"
Zong Shen felt that his eyes were almost blind.
He suddenly remembered that when he disguised himself as Safuri and entered the excavation site of the Bone Bunker, he once had the dirty idea of pinching his transformed self.
And now the true master is in front of him.
Status is no longer condescending.
There is no longer a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
Instead, she looked like a worried little sheep, revealing Safuri's weak and helpless side.
When the disguise of the strong is stripped away, a sense of contrast arises.
After a brief bow, she resumed her position.
Facing Zong Shen's slightly appreciative gaze, Safuli put a smile on her lips.
A woman likes her appearance, and all the good things are for her sweetheart.
Zong Shen's slightly obsessed look satisfied her.
This is also a recognition of her own charm.
But Zong Shen waved his hand belatedly at this moment.
"It's okay, there's still some time before dawn."
"We can talk slowly."
"Now it's time to talk about the giant city and the church."
This is the third time he has pointed out the main point.
Safuri, who had regained her mentality a little, nodded quickly.
She slowly closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes became deep.
"It all started months ago."
"The ruling family of the great city of Lentax is the Lancastrians."
"The current ruler is Henry, Marquess of Lancaster."
"His most beloved daughter, Penny Lancaster, was coming of age."
"Taking this opportunity, the Marquis of Lancaster decided to hold the long-lost athletic meeting and noble banquet."
"The purpose of this move is to introduce Penny's beauty to the public and to find a suitable husband."
Safuri spoke in a calm tone.
This made Zong Shen frown.
These things are not a secret, he has long known about the competitive meeting.
But I didn't expect that this thread seemed to be related to the church and that bullshit second prince.
Ever since he solved the mystery of Alana's life experience and learned about the filthiness of the royal family, he has no good impression of these princes and princesses.
After all, Princess Jenny was by his side, and Zong Shen didn't have much interest in Miss Penny, the daughter of the Marquis of Lancaster.
Although he already knew this information, he remained calm.
Just an occasional nod or a few echoes of "um," "oh," and "ah."
Safuli didn't mind Zong Shen's slightly perfunctory attitude. She knew that the beginning of the story was not exciting.
After taking another sip of wine to moisten her throat, she continued to tell Zong Shen.
"The athletic competition and the noble banquet are rare events in every giant city."
"Usually such an event is only held every five or six years, or even more than ten years."
"The reason to celebrate is either a birthday or something fancy."
"If it weren't for the large expense of holding it every time, the nobles would be eager to hold it every year."
"But in fact, the daily social life of those nobles also involves various banquets and lewd and dirty gatherings."
In Safuri's words, she made no secret of her contempt for the degenerate life of the kingdom's nobles.
The things that came out of her mouth also made Zong Shen listen with interest.
"Damn fallen nobles!"
"Actually holding a silver party!"
"The most important thing is that you don't call me Zong someone!"
Zong Shen complained wildly in his mind.
He originally thought that his behavior of having a harem in another world was debauched enough.
But in fact, they pale into insignificance compared to the indigenous people of the Endless Continent.
Still a stinky little brother worth mentioning!
Aboriginal people have already played various tricks when it comes to bringing out their biological instinct for happiness.
It is said that nobles also have various imaginable and unexpected forms of play, large and small.
It is no longer just between people. After all, this is a world with monsters and alien races.
The specific trick is not allowed to be told by the dian mother, and the 404 service is inevitable, so it’s okay not to mention it.
Not noticing Zong Shen's little thoughts, Safuli continued.
"The focus is on this giant city competition and the noble banquet."
"As an invitation initiated by the Marquis, all nobles within the jurisdiction of the giant city will attend the appointment."
"And Henry Lancaster has sworn allegiance to the second prince before."
"So the second prince will also come in person this time."
"This place is located in the eastern part of the kingdom. It is only tens of thousands of kilometers away from the giant cities on the coast controlled by the three princesses. It can be said that they are separated by a thin line."
"And the second prince's purpose is not only to consolidate his power, but also to disgust the third prince."
When Safuri said this, an angry expression appeared on her face.
"The despicable second prince had previously planned to use the giant city of Lentax as a bargaining chip to win over the church."
"In exchange for the church harassing the forces of the three princesses."
"But he broke his promise just because he saw the photo of Miss Penny's true appearance."
"That is indeed a beauty. Even I have to admit her beauty."
Having said this, Safuri caressed the side of her face, feeling a little unsure of her appearance.
To be honest, she looks like a perfect little girl.
Although Zong Shen dare not say that this is already the level of the ceiling of Endless Continent.
But whether looking at the aesthetic standards of the earth or the endless continent, Safuri is worthy of the adjective "beautiful".
So what kind of beauty is Miss Penny, who makes her feel inferior?
In this world with transfiguration and various physical or magical means of disguise.
Raw beauty is still extremely valuable.
You must know that disguise cannot change the influence of blood.
Beautiful spouses can produce better-quality offspring.
The marriages of the great nobles are still based on appearance.
Of course, the same goes for having fun.
The original beauty is the most precious. Otherwise, the nobles would not need to marry a wife, and they would only need to catch a shapeshifter to enjoy the blessings of the whole family.
In fact, there really are such warriors in the Endless Continent...
It can only be said that the world is a big place and there are all kinds of birds.
"oh?"
"So the second prince has reached an agreement with your church first."
"I promise to take advantage of the noble banquet to help you catch all the nobles in your jurisdiction."
"In this way, we can quickly disarm the legion and achieve top-down control."
"In this way, the church can quickly control the entire giant city, and even the cities and villages within its jurisdiction."
Zong Shen habitually took out two apples from the storage compartment.
One handed it to Savory, and the other directly put it into his mouth and took a bite.
After all, he is also a lord, and he is no less lacking in intelligence than Safuri.
I just don’t understand the secrets of the second prince and the church.
Now after listening to what she said, I can basically understand the cause and effect.
As for why the church chose athletic conferences and noble banquets to start the action.
It is nothing more than to facilitate direct control of the ruling nobles.
This is a typical strategy of catching the thief first.
Zong Shen's words made Safuli suddenly startled, and she took the apple.
I didn't expect his reaction to be so quick.
It's just that Safuli is a little dissatisfied with what Zong Shen said about "your" church.
She shook her head sadly.
"Please don't use 'you' to describe my relationship with the church."
"I have difficulties..."
"When I was a child, I merged into the spirit of the raven when I was baptized by the raven, and became the saint chosen by God."
"Since then, I have become one of the vehicles for communication between the church and the gods."
"After countless rituals, I have the state of a grace gift from God."
"In that state, my own consciousness will completely sink and be replaced by another me in the state of a fanatic."
Sally finally revealed what was bothering her.
Such a secret made Zong Shen frown.
"A vehicle for communication between gods?"
"The other you of the fanatic?"
He repeated softly, with a look of surprise on his face.
This can explain why Sally is sometimes decisive and cruel, and sometimes polite and gentle.
But even if it is a dual personality or the interference of gods, this cannot be the reason for Safuri to "whitewash" her.
He was willing to contact Safuri because the lord belonged to a third-party force that was neither good nor evil.
The native people's standards of good and evil cannot constrain the lord's code of conduct.
The only person who can decide the lord's actions is the lord himself.
That is, the lord's own concept of good and evil or neutrality.
In other words, as long as Zong Shen approves, then it is reasonable regardless of good or evil.
However, facing Safuli, who had sacrificed blood to hundreds of villagers and lords, it was difficult for Zong Shen to fully trust her.
But no matter what, Sally's willingness to reveal her feelings is also a good start.
Facing Zong Shen's inquiry, she nodded solemnly.
"Yes."
"Many times, I can't help myself."
"And I have a very strong feeling that the me that the god is taking care of will eventually replace the real me!"
“I’ve been very perceptive since I was a kid.”
"This premonition is more like a death sentence, making me uneasy every day!"
"I'm grateful for the church's upbringing, but I don't want to be God's puppet."
“Over the years, I have given back to the church.”
"Now, I just want to be free!"
