Chapter 389 Let the church return to the church
The Countess, who was still in agony and regretting her decision, soon learned from Pete and others a piece of news that made her extremely confused.
"What... did you say?"
Frigga Ceylon confirmed in disbelief.
"Although you did make a huge mistake, but - praise Nowen!"
"The Lord has bestowed the supreme gift on this land."
"All the victims will have a chance to return from the underworld, and they have returned to the world."
"The disaster is over, as if it never happened."
The Countess Ceylon's mind went blank, and she forgot to continue crying.
What did she hear?
A disaster that was almost brewed by her own hands, but no one was killed.
Because all the dead were pulled up and revived?
Is she listening to some myth?
But the tone of the believers who seek knowledge does not seem to be fake.
Besides, such things cannot be forged, and whether it is true or not can be seen at a glance.
"What about Sep? My husband, how is he...!"
The Countess subconsciously clenched her hands.
Upon hearing this, Pete fell silent.
"I'm sorry, Countess."
"Sep Skov has been away from this world for too long. His soul may have entered the next reincarnation in the underworld."
"There is no way he can come back."
Countess Ceylon was silent for a while.
Her clenched hands gradually loosened, and her eyes dimmed.
She tried to create a perfect world with her husband and daughter through illusion magic.
But after a lot of work, she ended up back to the way she was 16 years ago.
Her husband would never come back.
Her daughter also disappeared in front of her.
She was still left with nothing.
"But..."
Pete changed the subject.
The Countess's eyes lit up immediately.
"But what?"
"Although your husband's appearance 16 years ago was a miracle of divine power."
"Miracles... can be reproduced."
"The great God of Knowledge has communicated with the Goddess of Illusion. When the time is right, He will reproduce the miracle."
"For example, your daughter has not disappeared. She has returned to this world like the other victims."
"Of course, the premise is that you can't go astray again."
"My Lord has given you another chance. I hope you can cherish it."
"The Lord is watching you."
As soon as these words came out, the Countess seemed to be re-injected with confidence.
She is not alone!
Her daughter, in a sense, is also the blood of Sep Skov and remains in this world!
Even her husband, she will have the opportunity to see him again!
"Praise Novin, praise you - God of Knowledge!"
This is a pious thanks from a mother.
"Sir... No, heroes, please allow me to call you that."
The Countess of Ceylon promised sincerely:
"You stopped me from making a big mistake in time and made me wake up."
"You are the real saviors of this land!"
"Believe me."
"I will give you the rewards and treatment you deserve!"
...
The pent-up heart knot was untied.
The Countess of Ceylon, who had regained her rationality, turned into the image of a strong woman again.
The first thing she did was to leave the castle and go to the Glowing Church outside the city.
Personally meet Bishop Henry Tran.
The chubby bishop was in a bad mood.
When he saw the sober Countess of Ceylon, his face became even uglier.
Because his original plan was completely disrupted.
If everything goes according to the script he planned.
After this disaster, the Countess will be completely disgraced, the land will be renamed "Tostin Territory", and a new Earldom lord who obeys him will be supported to take the throne.
The Glowing God will have the greatest say and become the actual ruler of this land.
But now, his efforts have been in vain.
In order to ensure "concealment" and "cleanliness", Bishop Henry Tran did not dare to leave any handle or evidence in the church of the Glowing God.
This is also the only good news.
He does not have to worry about being exposed and dragging himself down.
Henry Tran is still the great, bright and correct Glowing Bishop.
But he originally planned to rush into the castle with the Crusaders at the right time and play a trick of catching people and getting stolen goods.
Now that the disaster is over ahead of schedule, the Countess can appear in front of him. There is no doubt that this "stolen goods" must have failed.
Without being able to prove that she is related to this Eternal Night disaster, Bishop Henry Tran has lost the evidence to bring the other party down.
Moreover, the Countess of Ceylon chose this time to come to the Glowing Church.
Henry Tran always felt a bad premonition.
...
The bad premonition soon became a reality.
Because the countess was too lazy to even exchange pleasantries, she said coldly:
"Your Excellency the Bishop."
"Thank you, the Glowing God Church, for your great contribution to the sudden Eternal Night disaster."
"On behalf of the king and the people of Ceylon, I thank you and the Crusaders for your selfless dedication. I am willing to give you the tax revenue of the past six months as a thank you."
"But..."
It is well known.
After saying the nice words, the content after the "but" is the focus of the conversation.
"...Since the disaster is over, I think we should each do our own job in the days ahead."
"Let the church do what the church does, and the king do what the king does."
"Please continue to spread the Lord's gospel as in the past. Thank you for protecting the Kingdom of Reyak from the invasion of monsters and evil gods."
"As for managing the people, operating the territory, and dealing with heretics, these secular matters, I will send people to handle them properly. Your Excellency, the bishop does not need to worry about it. This is also for your sake."
Bishop Henry Tran's face was extremely ugly.
Because the countess was "snatching" the power that should belong to him and the Glorious Church.
The meaning of these sentences is translated as.
"In the future, the Glorious Church in the Ceylon Territory will preach and preach honestly."
"Develop believers, recruit priests or crusaders."
"But when it comes to daily territory operations, the Glorious Church only has the right to make suggestions and no longer has substantive rights."
Strictly speaking.
The Glorious Church does not have the right to enforce the law and administration.
After all, they are a church organization that believes in God.
However, in the past, not only the Countess of Ceylon, but also the lords and nobles of other regions basically turned a blind eye to the fact that the power of the Glorious God Church intervened in the territory, tacitly agreed, and would not oppose.
Both sides were equivalent to standing on the same front.
The Countess's words almost meant that she was standing on the opposite side of the Glorious God Church!
She wanted to take back the power of tacit permission!
For example.
If heretics are found in Ceylon in the future.
Even if the Glorious God Church jumps and preaches the dangers of heresy to the people.
As long as the Countess does not make the decision to expel them, they can still swagger around in Ceylon!
Bishop Henry Tran's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
He threatened sinisterly:
"My Lady Countess, are you... sure you are ready to accept the consequences of this decision?"
...
