Chapter 407: The troubled Bishop
Nowen has a headache.
Someone has a bigger headache than Nowen.
That is the current bishop of the Glorious God in Ceylon, His Excellency Henry Trang.
"Bang!"
"Crash!"
The janitor in charge of cleaning the church heard the noise coming from the closed door of the bishop's lounge, and shrank his neck nervously, not daring to breathe, and walked away with a bucket and a mop bent over.
It has been nearly two weeks since the end of the eternal night.
The end of September.
Bishop Henry Trang has smashed a lot of things in his exclusive lounge during this period.
Not for anything else.
Just to vent.
Bishop Henry is not really worried about the loopholes and problems in the original plan.
Because he has a trump card.
Since Harris Eugene took office as archbishop and managed the College of Cardinals, the Glorious God is now basically dominated by conservatives.
In most of the dioceses of the Kingdom of Reyak, as well as Green Harbor and the branch dioceses of the Kingdom of the Northern Border in the bitter cold land in the north, more than 90% of the current bishops are conservatives.
Bishop Henry is a staunch conservative member.
Originally, before the Eternal Night disaster broke out, Henry Tran actually had the means to stop it all.
A secret letter sent from the archbishop of the capital, plus a pure black round sphere mixed with divine materials and transported unnoticed.
According to the secret letter.
Even if the situation has reached an irreversible situation at the end.
As long as enough purification-type glow divine arts are cast on this pure black round sphere.
It will exert magical power and forcefully "stop" this disaster.
Yes.
This Eternal Night disaster is not a natural disaster, but a premeditated man-made disaster.
...
The secret letter did not explain the origin and principle of the pure black sphere, but only told Henry how to use it.
With the trump card, Henry dared to indulge the disaster so recklessly, and even let it get worse.
He not only knew the possible consequences of the disaster, but also knew its cause.
He even played a role in fueling it.
For example, those mysterious black-robed men.
Henry did have some contact with them.
Because Henry needed to use them to understand the "current situation" of the Countess, so as to make corresponding preparations before the Eternal Night disaster was about to come.
Of course.
Henry was sure that all his actions were extremely secretive and no evidence was left!
Every time he met with the black-robed man, no, to be precise, it was not a meeting at all.
It was a handover.
Taking advantage of the once-a-month charity day, the other party would disguise themselves as kind-hearted citizens who came to donate money, and then put the hollow gold coins into the donation box.
Henry then went through the coins in the box under the pretext of counting the money and found the special gold coin with an obviously wrong weight.
Break the thin gold skin on the outside and check the secret letter inside.
All secret letters were burned after reading.
He burned them by himself, and no third person saw them.
With such a seamless information exchange, at least on the surface, Bishop Henry Tran's image was fine.
...
But the problem now is.
The disaster ended early!
Someone rushed into the Countess's Castle before the Glowing God Cult, and then cut melons and vegetables all the way, and it took less than a day to make the Eternal Night fade away.
This is what gives Henry the most headache!
The credit that should have belonged to the Glowing God Cult was intercepted by someone, and someone reaped the fruits in advance!
This feat was accomplished by a group of "heretic believers" whom he disliked no matter how he looked at them!
As the miracle of the mass watching of the movie and the mass resurrection of the victims spread, Bishop Henry also learned about the situation at that time.
An accidental exchange of homes.
Just when he sent the Crusaders to take over the order of Chim Town, the people of the Seeking Knowledge Church arrived in Ceylon City, and the two sides passed by each other.
Each of them accomplished what they wanted to do.
But judging from the results, the Glorious God Church obviously suffered a huge loss!
Its reputation plummeted.
What made Bishop Henry Tran even more upset was that the replies to the two secret letters he sent to the capital in the past few days were all bad news.
In the first letter, he described the situation as briefly as possible, emphasizing the existence of the Church of Seeking Knowledge and that these heretics had messed up the overall situation.
The reply he received from the other side was to let him control public opinion as much as possible and not let the reputation of the Glorious God Church have problems.
As for the problem of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, the cardinals are still discussing it.
The second letter was already Henry's letter for help.
Because he couldn't control the plummeting reputation of the Glorious God Church in Ceylon!
In fact, when Henry received the first reply, he was a little dissatisfied.
The bigwigs of the general church in the capital are like this. They just need to open their mouths and say "control public opinion", but when it comes to these regional churches, they have to run their legs off!
Bishop Henry did something.
He personally made the decision and took out a large sum of money on behalf of the Glorious God Cult, a full 2,000 gold coins.
This was almost all the cash reserves of the Glorious God Cult in Ceylon!
He announced that all the money would be donated to rebuild Ceylon after the disaster and build several relief centers.
He also promised:
Those who have lost arms and legs or are seriously injured in the disaster can come to the Glowing Church. In the next period of time, the priests will try their best to provide them with treatment, and the required expenses will also be paid by this money.
But these measures have little effect.
Because what the Glowing Church can do, the Seeking Knowledge Church can also do.
And do it better!
It has just announced that it will donate 2,000 gold coins.
On the side of the Seeking Knowledge Church, Lord Hugo Xiwei immediately responded tit for tat and announced that there will be a full 10,000 destiny points of disaster relief funds as a bonus, and additional rewards for people who complete the corresponding tasks.
Although the amount of money is a little less, this money will be like a bounty pool, and everyone can check it at any time. People can take part of the reward as long as they complete the task.
The large amount of gold coins that the Glowing Church took out is different.
Bishop Henry himself knows it well.
Even if he wants to spend all the 2,000 gold coins without leaving a penny.
His deacons and priests will also have their own little thoughts.
Such a huge sum of money, such a rare opportunity.
Isn't it normal to make a profit from it "legitimately"?
Especially, this is the "unspoken rule" of the Glorious God Church.
Even the head of the capital is the same.
The so-called donations and grants will be taken away by the clergy at all levels by default.
After all, the specific implementation depends on these people.
The ones taken away are the allowances to reward them.
In the past, there was no problem with doing this, after all, everyone did it this way.
Now the problem is big!
Because the freak of the Seeking Knowledge Church has emerged!
