Chapter 247 The Seeds of Hatred
The high priests looked at me and I looked at you, and they all didn't know what to say.
Because it was High Priest Reeves who originally proposed to defeat Li Yu with the help of the secret hidden in the holy coffin by High Priest Caokas.
Moreover, High Priest Reeves also insisted that this move could win over people's hearts and further strengthen the believers' faith in the goddess.
As a result, Li Yu exposed it on the spot and detained the Holy Coffin and the fake Martin. As a result, the church had to cut off from Priest Adele. For a long period of time, it was tied up and could not start the relationship. further blow.
From the time of the incident until now, no one has seen High Priest Reeves make any repentance or take the initiative to take responsibility. However, he has not reflected on it for a long time and has not reflected on it for a long time. However, at this time, he cried so heartbrokenly and one mouthful at a time. us.
None of the seven high priests was a fool, so of course they understood why he suddenly made a fuss.
However, the remaining six people felt uncomfortable, but they still had to stand up and express their support for High Priest Reeves, because at this juncture, they must remain united and concentrate their efforts to deal with external threats first.
Therefore, High Priest Martina then said, "Well, now that the matter has come to this, I would also like to ask High Priest Reeves to express my condolences and take care of yourself. The decision at that time was made by everyone together. Our starting point is indeed good. I believe With the mercy of the high priest Chaokas and the goddess, we will be forgiven.”
"Yes, High Priest Reeves, please stop crying. It would be bad if believers heard it." High Priest Hesiod also advised.
But High Priest Reeves continued to cry, and it was not until the remaining four high priests expressed their opinions one after another that he gradually stopped crying.
With the support of everyone, he staggered towards the back hall.
The youngest Herodotus was a disciple of High Priest Reeves. He was walking at the back of the crowd, looking at his teacher's back with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Unlike other sluggish colleagues in the palace, he was only in his early one hundred years, which was a time for half-orcs to be strong and energetic.
And as a high priest, he couldn't drink, fight, or go to women to vent like ordinary people.
So Herodotus devoted all his energy to his career.
He was probably the first among all the high priests to notice Li Yu and Shuangxiujiao. As early as when Li Yu appeared at the election meeting of the Arias family, he had already noticed this foreigner in black clothes.
At that time, Herodotus still firmly believed that Li Yu's method of recording sounds was just some unknown trick. However, with the rapid rise of Shuangxiujiao and a series of things that happened later, Herodotus had no idea about Li Yu. The degree of attention is also constantly increasing.
Many of the incredible abilities displayed by the opponent are obviously beyond the scope of magic.
This is a truly divine messenger with divine power!
Ordinary people may not understand what this means, but for high-ranking clerics like Herodotus, they are very clear about the extraordinary nature of this.
It has been many years since Pissia, the goddess of the Silver Moon, has performed a miracle on earth. As the high priest of the Silver Moon Church, Herodotus considers himself to be extremely pious and closer to the goddess than most people. However, even He has never awakened any extraordinary abilities.
Herodotus had long been aware of the damage and threats Li Yu might bring to the Silver Moon Church. In addition, he was also very interested in how Li Yu could communicate with the foreign god named Saturday behind him. .
If he could figure out the secret behind this, he might be able to go one step further and establish a stable connection with Bisiya, and even borrow some of Bisiya's divine power.
At that time, he can better listen to the voice of the goddess, integrate with the goddess, and become Pisiya's messenger in the world.
From now on, every word he speaks will be equivalent to the words of a god, and everyone in the world will regard him as a god.
The thought of this made Herodotus's heart skip a beat, but on the surface he remained calm.
Among the seven high priests, Herodotus was the youngest and the most junior. Therefore, when the seven of them discussed something in the past, he usually smiled and listened more than he talked.
This time was no exception. The other six people had discussed it and found no good way to prevent Ilea from joining the Shuangxiu Cult. So someone finally turned their attention to Herodotus, who had been keeping quiet.
High Priest Gonaya said, "High Priest Herodotus, don't you say something?"
"I don't have the wisdom of you, but I just have the opinions of a fool, so don't mention them." Herodotus kept his posture very low.
However, High Priest Reeves waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, everyone doesn't know that High Priest Herodotus is the most humble and uncontroversial person in the church. However, now the church is in trouble. If it is not solved properly, I think... It is even more difficult to curb the development momentum of double holiday education.
“I don’t know who will be in charge of the Western Region in the future, so if you have any ideas, just tell me.”
His words were somewhat straightforward, causing many high priests to frown.
Herodotus was humbled several times before he said, "I think there is no problem with the decision to mobilize believers. After all, our current advantage lies in the number of believers."
"That's true, but the last time we gathered people together, it ended up being an advantage to Merlin and his two-year-old teacher."
Many people's cheeks still hurt when I mention this.
There was nothing I could do about it, being slapped in the face so hard would make normal people feel a little bit sad.
Herodotus also nodded, "That foreigner named Merlin is very powerful, and ordinary methods have no effect on him, so this time we must learn a lesson and stop trying to reason with him."
"Unreasonable?"
"Yes, directly inciting our believers in the green field to confront Merlin's believers. It just so happened that the lizard people around him had enmity with the local people. He told them that the goddess wanted them to avenge their dead relatives and friends, so that the pagans could use Their blood pays for the sins they and their ancestors committed.”
"You are starting a war with Shuangxiu Cult!" High Priest Martina immediately objected, "And our people may have an advantage in numbers, but most of them are civilians.
"After the warriors of the Arias family fought side by side with Merlin and slayed the black dragon together, most of them followed Ilea and turned to Shuangxiu Cult."
"It doesn't matter," Herodotus said, "I didn't expect those guys to win. Anyway, those who died were all members of the Arias family, and the strength of the Arias family was weakened.
"The most important thing is that as long as there is a conflict between them and our people, the seeds of hatred will be sown. From now on, we will have a reason to call on believers in other places to fight against Shuangxiu Cult. As long as there are a few more conflicts, After accumulating several blood debts and creating an atmosphere of mutual hatred, it will be difficult for Merlin to poach people from us no matter how talented he is."
