Chapter 408 Political Art
The Church of Seeking Knowledge is absolutely a complete freak! An alien!
Henry Trang dares to swear.
He is not complaining about the magical style of the Seeking Knowledge believers.
When the Glorious God Cult is carrying out rectification and discipline, it can also achieve a similar effect for a short time.
What really makes him irritated is the various abilities of the Seeking Knowledge believers!
Because Henry still doesn't know what kind of power the God of Seeking Knowledge holds, and what kind of blessings He will give to believers.
How did he achieve such a miracle of collective resurrection of all the victims!
Bishop Henry Trang has lived for decades, and the divine arts such as [Great Resurrection] performed by mortals do not count.
He has seen a few times of mass resurrection by the gods, and they were all completed by the Glorious God Cult.
This time was an exception.
Another god completed a miracle under the witness of mortals.
And what happened to his believers?
During this period, with the reversal of public opinion, various rumors about the followers of the God of Knowledge, Norwen, were also spreading rapidly among the people.
At present, the more recognized points are:
There are a lot of spellcasters in the Church of Knowledge, just like the branch of the Magic Hermitage. Even the dumbest idiot, as long as he becomes a follower of Norwen, can soon cast a decent [Illumination].
The followers of the Church of Knowledge have mastered a wide variety of divine arts.
Not to mention anything else.
Just the existence of those who are proficient in the divine arts of radiance is enough to give Bishop Henry Trang a headache!
The noble status of the Church of Radiance, in addition to various divine arts to eliminate monsters and purify pollution, in peacetime, the divine arts of radiance with powerful healing effects are also a hard requirement for everyone.
It is easy to gain gratitude and rewards from the injured by curing diseases and saving lives.
But this ability is not unique to the Church of Radiance now.
Those believers who seek knowledge repeatedly emphasized:
"We also believe in Naval, the God of Radiance. Thank Him for the great power He bestowed on mortals. May all the pain and harm in the world be healed by the power of Radiance."
That's indeed no problem.
The Church of Radiance has never stipulated that those who are blessed must join the church.
Those people's actions are impeccable.
When performing divine healing, their pious attitude is more professional than that of the Radiance priests!
The cost of treatment is also much lower than that of the Radiance Church!
Bishop Henry Tran almost fainted when he learned about it.
If this continues, are you the genuine Radiance Church or am I?
He wanted to change all this and save the reputation of the Radiance Church.
But he couldn't do it.
His ability is limited, and he was stuck here.
He had to put down his face and write a letter to the capital for help.
He waited a long time.
Finally, he waited for the reply to the second secret letter.
After reading the content, his eyes went dark.
The second letter also mentioned the Church of Knowledge.
The cardinals finally discussed the result.
The conservatives made concessions, and the new faction gained the upper hand in this internal struggle.
"Revoke the expulsion of heretics!"
Not only did it give the members of the Church of Knowledge a normal status, but the followers of the goddess of illusion were no longer dangerous heretics.
Henry was desperate.
Because there was a second half in the secret letter:
"The official approval for the handling of the post-disaster situation in Ceylon will arrive soon, and will be handed over to Bishop Henry Trang to ensure that the image and status of the Church of Light cannot be shaken!"
"The Supervisory Priests will arrive in early October."
The meaning of this sentence is translated as:
"You handle it as you see fit. If you don't do it well, you will be blamed!"
What you fear will come true.
How can Henry deal with it?
In this situation, almost any way he handles it is wrong.
Drive out the Church of Knowledge?
There is no reason, and even less ability.
Acknowledge the contribution of the Church of Knowledge?
Doesn't that mean that the Church of Light did not do a good job in the previous disaster?
This will definitely affect the image of the Glorious God Church.
Let's go back to the source.
Why did the Glorious God Church fail?
Oh!
Because His Excellency Bishop Henry Tran was seriously derelict in his duty.
The things he should have been responsible for solving, in the end, had nothing to do with him!
In addition, Henry knew very well about the disaster. His role was actually to do the work, and the real messenger was far away in the capital.
His failure itself would make the bigwigs in the capital dissatisfied, thinking that he had done something wrong.
If he was accused of new black spots.
That's it.
He can't escape full responsibility.
Henry Tran couldn't help but imagine that he was punished by the church and sent to the northern kingdom in the north of the continent, which was covered with snow all year round, to be a miserable priest.
He heard that the Glorious God Church branch there could be called the "exile land".
It was freezing cold, and there was a fireplace in the house. People had to wear thick leather clothes and wrapped in blankets, otherwise they would shiver with cold.
The environment outside is even worse. The cold wind and snow are like a knife cutting on the face. Even the best-maintained people will soon become rough red-faced northerners if they go there.
If he is really responsible for this incident, that is likely to be his end.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Henry shook his head violently, forcibly expelling those bad images from his mind!
Having tasted the sweetness of power, he absolutely cannot accept that kind of ending.
"To avoid such a fate, two things must be done."
"First, I have to find a suitable person to blame for not getting the credit for disaster relief!"
"In this way, even if I have to bear part of the responsibility, the bigwigs in the capital will protect me!"
"Second, I have to think about how to reasonably maintain the image of the Glorious God Church."
"We must make the people believe that we are not without contribution, but we have made contribution in places they cannot see."
A gradually solidified image appeared in Bishop Henry's mind:
"Captain Griffin!"
"I have to think of a way to make him take on this responsibility when the Supervisory Priests arrive!"
The memory of the quarrel during the Eternal Night also emerged.
"Got it!"
"From beginning to end, I actually didn't have direct contact with the so-called believers of the God of Knowledge."
"Griffin is different."
"He has contacted them and even asked me to use their power!"
"Okay!"
The person who is going to blame has a target.
Bishop Henry's heart was half relieved.
Regarding another question, how to maintain the church's status.
After thinking hard for a long time, Henry Tran finally made up his mind:
"Substantial actions have little effect."
"In this case, let's find another way and try to bind at the level of honor!"
"The solution to the problem is not just practical action."
"Sometimes, false reputation is more useful than real things!"
"If the Church of Knowledge can be pulled onto the same chariot in name, the position of the Church of the God of Radiance will be extremely stable!"
The bishop intends to show what political art is.
