Chapter 355 The Emperor’s True Face
“Sir, can you give me a moment to introduce our great Lord to you?”
In the early morning, the meeting gradually became lively. There was a man in a papal robe introducing himself to several men who had gathered together and were waiting for him to come.
His robe is embroidered with an abstract sun, the symbol of the Golden Dawn.
Although the men gathered together were not believers, they also knew the origin of the Golden Dawn. Several of them looked at each other, and one of the older men said slowly: "This, uh..."< br>
"Bishop." The other person reminded him with a smile.
“Oh, Bishop.” A look of surprise flashed in the man’s eyes. Has the Golden Dawn now sent bishops to attract believers? It seems that everyone is having a hard time during this time.
He thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, Bishop, we are just the most ordinary civilians. To be honest, we don't have much money to donate to the church, and we don't have much time to pray every day."< br>
He originally said a few unkind words, but since he is a bishop after all, he should be polite.
The bishop didn’t say much, he just smiled and shook hands with a few people: “It doesn’t matter, even if you are not ready to accept God’s gift, the Lord will still bless you. The great God of Nothingness God will always watch over you and bless you into a peaceful sleep.”
As he spoke, he bowed slightly in the other direction, holding a fist with one hand against his heart.
There is the newly built Dawn Gate. Since the 'move', the Dawn Gate can no longer emit soft light and illuminate the whole city as before once it is opened, but it can still be clear after opening the door. Seen.
After saying that, the bishop left here and headed towards where other people gathered.
When the other party walked away, the workers who were still there muttered: "The Golden Dawn used to have strict requirements for attracting believers, but if you become a believer, you can bask in the sun when the door is open... Now But it’s different from before. It seems like they haven’t had much new blood joining them during this time.”
Another person also followed up and said, “That’s right, how could anyone of the level of a bishop come out to preach in person before… To be honest. , If nothing changes, I would be happy to join. However, the statue of the founding fathers is currently under construction, and we have to spend ten days a month to work..."
A slightly younger person complained: "I can save a little bit in a month. I am planning to save a few more years to have a baby with my wife. I will probably be able to save a little for tuition fees by then. Now, with this, a You have been working for a third of the month without any pay. Really, I don’t know what your Majesty is thinking.”
As soon as these words came out, the others immediately stared at him angrily.
The older worker reprimanded: "What are you talking about?! It is our honor to contribute our strength to His Majesty!"
"You kid, you are so dissatisfied! "
" Just a few of us who are familiar with each other, if you were placed elsewhere, you would have been arrested and taken to the police station! "
Several people scolded him one after another, and the young man who just spoke immediately lowered his head in shame.
After the episode, the atmosphere between the few people was a little awkward. It was not until the foreman who recruited workers came that it became better.
After working all morning, the young man who had been scolded was in a bad mood and simply ran outside alone during lunch.
While chewing the corn mush sprinkled with dried earthworm powder, he secretly put the only piece of dried crazy beast bacon into his pocket. The man swallowed it hard and whispered in a low voice: "That's right, Your Majesty did this. It's such a waste of time and money. My wife and I haven't eaten meat a few times this month... We can't save any damn money... What's the matter with complaining?"
He waved unconvinced. He fisted his fist, even though there was only air in front of him.
"Damn it, let me work for nothing without getting paid. We are fighting on the front line. If you let me do some logistics, then I will be contributing to the army. Is there any use in building a statue of ass now?"
He was cursing and eating angrily, but he didn't notice someone coming next to him.
"This gentleman..."
The young man was startled when the voice sounded, and then he immediately realized what would happen if someone heard what he said. He turned pale instantly.
What appeared in front of him was the bishop who had preached to them in the early morning.
"Lord, Lord Bishop..." The young man's face turned pale.
The Golden Dawn is the only officially recognized sect in the empire. You can tell with your buttocks that the other party pissed in the same pot as His Majesty the Emperor.
It's broken, it's broken...
Just when the man thought he was about to suffer, the bishop said something unexpected.
"Sir, you have many dissatisfactions and many needs. Why don't you try praying to our great Lord?" The bishop looked gentle.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "You just arrived here?"
The bishop shook his head: "No, I heard everything you just said."
< br>Seeing the young man's face turn pale again, he immediately added: "But I think what you said makes sense."
The young man was stunned again: "䱱..."
The bishop smiled: "The great God of Nothingness casts his gaze on the world, and of course he sees the suffering of the world."
His face showed a look of compassion: "I can't guess the Lord's thoughts, but the Lord's teachings make me understand the suffering of all living beings. I sympathize with everything you encounter."
"That, that What do you mean, Lord Bishop?" the young man stammered.
The bishop gently grabbed one of his hands and said softly: "Why don't you try praying to the great Lord? Maybe you can find something different..."
"The great...Lord..."
The two walked towards the nearest church, and a new believer seemed to have been absorbed.
"That's it, boss." Black Fox said softly.
He has been watching with Sean for the whole morning.
Shaun nodded thoughtfully.
The young worker was not an exception. In just one morning, Sean saw the bishop find dozens of people in similar situations.
Furthermore, when the bishop was looking for people, he was always in the same situation. He all found people who gathered together, usually small groups of five or six people, workers waiting to be recruited, and women going out to work. , even children playing in pairs.
Every time, after he finished his sermon, the crowd politely refused, but there would always be one or two people who expressed their complaints about the emperor.
Of course, those who complain are criticized by their peers and often left alone.
At this time, the bishop will appear again, and after some words, he will take the other person into the Holy See to pray. Seeing Sean lower his arms, Black Fox added: "Boss, after you said it last time, I asked the brothers to pay special attention to it. This bishop is not an exception, many people from the Golden Dawn are here When preaching near the church, what happens is basically the same as what you see."
His eyes were slightly serious: "Because this is not the first time. In fact, it happened a long time ago. The people of the Golden Dawn began to preach, and our brothers were used to it, so they didn't notice anything was wrong. In addition, our brothers usually blended in with the crowd, but those preachers had never preached to our people. Teaching, so no one has discovered this before.”
Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. He had basically dealt with everyone under his command. From gang leaders to small leaders, all of them had black nematodes expelled. This was Sean's approach to ensure the "purity of the team."
Now it seems that the Bishop of the Golden Dawn has the ability to vaguely identify whether the black nematode is still active in the host's body.
Looking at Sean, Black Fox tried to ask: "Boss, because of the special nature of the church, it is inconvenient for our people to enter. Do you want to send someone disguised as a believer to go in and take a look?"
< br> Sean shook his head and rejected his proposal: "No, if the bishop has special abilities, the church will only be more special. If you sneak in, you will be discovered... Follow the few people we saw today."
“Yes, I understand.”
At night, people who had been busy all day finally returned to their cabins and began a rare rest.
Today, the young man who was scolded by his coworkers and finally entered the Holy See of the Golden Dawn to pray could not help but tell his young wife what happened today.
His wife's reaction was not beyond his expectation: "Oh my God, this has been discovered, you will be sent to the police station."
"I know, but, I said Aren't they all the truth?" the man said a little irritably.
“But...”
At this time, outside the house, Sean, who was in the shadow world, opened his eyes in surprise.
As expected, after the man came out of the church of the Golden Dawn, the vitality of the black nematode was greatly reduced, and it seemed that it would fall into dormancy at any time.
What’s even more shocking is that there seems to be a mutual contagion between black nematodes. Normally, the man’s wife is not affected, but after the conversation and intimate behavior with her husband, the black nematodes in her body The nematodes are also starting to become a little wilted.
Is hibernation contagious? However, the same situation did not occur to the man's co-workers.
Is it because of the family?
Living together for many years and having an emotional bond, the connection between the two will indeed be much closer at the etheric level. Combined with the concept that the black nematode is a spiritual creature at the etheric level, this kind of contagion It's only done between family members, which is normal.
In addition, before being influenced by the bishop and the church of the Golden Dawn, this man had some faint dissatisfaction with the emperor, which would not have appeared before.
Or because the Black Pigeon Prison flew away, the prisoners at the source of the black nematodes stayed away from the imperial capital...
This is easy to explain. Some people are born with stronger mental power, and their resistance to the black nematodes The resistance is naturally stronger.
There was no difference before, but after the black pigeon prison flew away, the connection between the black nematode and the main body was disconnected, and the difference became apparent. Some people began to resist the black nematode invisibly. impact.
The Golden Dawn seems to be able to capture this... but the strange thing is, if it can capture this, why must it be preached collectively when the crowd is gathering?
And he was rejected every time... Afterwards, he secretly found the person with stronger mental strength in the group who was already resisting the black nematode on his own, and then accelerated the other party's process and put the black nematode into a deep sleep.
Except for this, can it be understood that the Golden Dawn is now selecting the most mentally powerful ordinary people in the entire imperial capital to let the black nematodes in their bodies enter a deep sleep and infect their families?
If this is the case, according to previous speculation...
Sean's pupils shrank slightly.
Well hidden, His Excellency Cardinal Calado...
The Golden Dawn is on the same side as the Emperor.
No wonder the Golden Dawn can become the only sect recognized by the empire, and no wonder that the Golden Dawn has not developed much for so many years, and is only limited to the scope of the imperial capital.
Wait a minute, does this mean another point?
The fourth prince, Bai Si, is a student of Cardinal Calado...
For a moment, memories of the past flooded into Sean's mind.
In the beginning, I was able to get hold of Lan Keer because Lan Keer stole the emperor's personal seal and wanted to enter the top level of the empire's treasure house to get a treasure for Bai Si.
After that, various things happened. In the end, Lan Keer's wet nurse passed all the blame on the third prince Bai You, who actually did nothing, which eventually led to Bai You going to prison.
On the whole, Bai Si is the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing and the source of the whole thing.
Another thing worth noting is that the emperor has been running the empire for so many years. It is true that he has been ill and has little time to care about too many things, but he can't even control his own personal seal, right?
Lan Keer returned the private seal without being discovered. It seemed that the emperor didn't know anything - but did he really know?
If Sean was not involved in this matter, then Lan Keer would have obtained the treasure and handed it to Bai Si... Then, what about the seal being discovered?
Shaun felt that even without his participation, the matter would eventually be pushed to Bai You's head.
Lan Keer is just a lead, a tool who knows nothing. When she makes a decision, she has always been influenced by Bai Si and her nanny, and the nanny has always been Bai Si. thinking person.
By the way, there are also things from before.
The emperor sent someone to pass the order, allowing Bai You to be released from prison, but still deprived him of the qualifications of the third prince, and almost explicitly asked Lan Ke'er to side with Bai Si.
It seems normal, but if you look at it based on what happened before, it’s interesting.
The emperor does not ignore these princes and princesses...
Golden Dawn is the one who really pissed in the same pot as the emperor, and Bai Si... is the heir he has always been optimistic about.
Sean couldn't help but marveled.
The emperor's methods are powerful enough... However, there is a question here. Why is Bai Si favored by the emperor?
He is the youngest among the princes. Is the youngest one popular?
However, it is certain that the emperor is indeed taking the initiative to put the black nematodes in some people with high mental power into dormancy...
While thinking about it, suddenly, Noah sent a reminder .
“You have been called, the Three Saints.”
