Chapter 172 Purification, Crystallization
What Pet couldn't figure out, Noven...actually didn't figure it out either.
He learned the news much earlier than Pate and others.
When a believer received a notice from the Glow God Cult in Greenport, Novan obtained the news from the perspective of the believer.
Novel planned to use his divine power directly to find out all the information about the causes and consequences related to this matter.
However, the expected results fed back made Novin give up the idea.
The number of mortals involved is extremely large, which is equivalent to using authority to learn the "mentality" and even "thoughts" of a large number of mortals at the same time.
Although he could theoretically do this, the amount of divine power he would need to consume would be an extremely outrageous astronomical figure.
Now the divine power reserve that Noven has on hand is not enough to support him to complete it.
Novin could only settle for the next best thing, narrowing the target and only determining the source of the heretic expulsion order.
The target points to the headquarters territory of the Glow God Cult southwest of the royal capital of Starosh.
The final issuer of the edict was even confirmed.
Harrison Eugene, the current cardinal of the Glow Cult, the father of Rayonk Eugene, and the first person under the Archpope.
It shows that this edict really comes from the high-level officials of Glow God Religion.
Novin didn't know how much the higher-ups of the Glow God Cult knew about him, and whether they knew that his followers could respond and release divine magic without establishing faith in the Glow God.
But now that the edict has been issued, his reputation in the Glow Divine Cult must be "neutral and cold" or below.
After the "Heresy Expulsion Order" came into effect, it meant that members of the Seeking Church could not enter the Kingdom of Leyak openly and openly.
But for Noven... it's not entirely a bad thing!
Noven even wanted to thank the Glow God Cult for giving him this "assist".
After all, this edict is only about "expulsion of heretics", not "suppression of evil gods".
It is equivalent to the camp relationship between the two parties changing from "friendly" to "neutral".
It hasn't reached the level of "hostility" yet.
Not to mention anything else, just because the [Detect Evil] magic might be marked red, Noven could not safely let the believers run around in the bishopric of the Glow God Sect.
If the magical power flashes red, Noven can't even imagine the scene.
The evil god has penetrated into the hinterland of Leyak Kingdom?
The strength and number of Enoch's current believers are definitely unbeatable.
The expulsion order of the Glow God Cult actually helped Novin eliminate this hidden danger.
He can successfully gather believers to this newly developed unclaimed territory outside the borders of the Kingdom of Reyak!
Backed by a dark forest, the potential for development is unlimited.
The threats of monsters and evil gods that are difficult for the Glow God Religion to deal with are clearly nutrients for Nuowen to enhance the strength of the believers!
That's all it's good to be an evil god. The good gods have to rely on the faith and behavior of their believers to gain divine power. Noven has another way to plunder.
His followers cannot defeat the Glow God Cult now, but what about in the future?
Wait for the Church of Knowledge to develop in the Dark Forest.
Novin probably should have changed from "an unexplainable monster appeared in the dark forest" to "the great and supreme Church of Knowledge arrived in its loyal capital of Starosh today."
As for the issue of being unable to enter the Kingdom after being issued an expulsion order.
joke.
Noven was not afraid at all. Because this thing is not the operation of gods, but the work of mortal believers themselves.
The "Order of Expulsion of Heretics" is equivalent to a warning backed by the strength of the Glow God Sect. Anyone who violates it is equivalent to going against the Glow God Sect.
But it itself does not contain any divine power, nor is it like fighting against evil gods, where the gods themselves issue decrees.
Therefore, it will not have the effect of disorienting, confusing, or blocking monsters like the [Past Glory] magic.
As long as Novin's followers want to, they can still sneak into the kingdom secretly!
Just don’t be caught in the act by the Glow God Cult.
If there is demand, there will be a market.
Aren't those dark elves who believe in happiness who were expelled many years ago still active in the secrets of the kingdom?
There are even some nobles who will privately raise the dark elves they like and play with them for fun.
And the deportation order had another benefit for Nouwen.
He can just use this to refine his followers!
When he was in Greenport, Noven was in urgent need of divine power, and he would accept it as long as there were mortals willing to offer their faith.
But there are definitely a lot of losers among these mortal believers. If in the future churches such as the Glow God Sect declare hostility to the Seeking Church, these people might simply abandon their faith and run away.
Considering the situation of Xuanquan District.
It is absolutely necessary to refine believers and increase the cohesion of the church.
For those who abandon their trust and run away, Noven will directly block them and refuse to hire them.
For those who want to dedicate their faith and become new believers, Norwin must also set certain tests as a threshold so that they can prove their piety and determination!
Now this heretic expulsion order can also serve as his test threshold.
…
After confirming that the news of the "Order of Expulsion of Heretics" was accurate, the three of them had mixed emotions.
Because they really don’t feel that there is any conflict between the doctrines they believe in and the Glow God Religion!
Destroyed the criminal gangs that had taken refuge in the evil god;
Opened up unowned wilderness territories abroad;
Even rescued dozens of refugees!
These things, taken out one after another, should obviously be praised by the Glow God Religion.
Now they have to face a choice.
If they continue to believe in the God of Knowledge and remain members of the Church of Knowledge, it means that they will be legally deemed as heretics by the Glow God Religion of the Realak Kingdom and need to be expelled from the country.
It's true that Pet wanted to leave the country, but he was following the will of the God of Knowledge to open up territory. He had no intention of not coming back!
"Is there some misunderstanding here? How about we go to the nearest Glow Church and ask if the expulsion order can be cancelled?" Gale said with a frown.
Pat shook his head: "The edict has been issued. Regardless of whether there was any misunderstanding before, even if there was one now, it must be treated as if there was no misunderstanding."
"This is signed by the head of the Glorious Religion. As long as it is announced, it cannot be withdrawn or cancelled."
Both were born into border aristocrats, but in terms of political wisdom, the two Gaels could not compare to Pat.
Pat understands the "reason" in this.
The edict itself represented the Glorious Religion, and it was notified to branches of the Religion across the mainland. If it was withdrawn shortly after it was issued, it would seriously damage the authority and status of the Religion in the minds of believers.
Even if you want to cancel it, you have to wait until a long time later, or even when a new cardinal takes office.
"The question now is," Peter said seriously, "What are your plans?"
“Leave, or—continue to follow the Lord’s guidance?”
