Chapter 407: The Worried Bishop
Noven has a headache.
Someone has more headaches than Noven.
That is the current Bishop of the Glow God Religion in Ceylon, His Excellency Henry Trump.
“Bang!”
“Crash!”
The handyman in charge of cleaning the church was nervous when he heard the noise coming from the bishop’s lounge with the door closed. The ground shrunk his neck, not daring to breathe out, and hunched over while carrying the bucket and mop and slipped away.
Nearly two weeks have passed since the end of the eternal night.
The end of September.
Bishop Henry Trump broke a lot of things in his private lounge during this time.
For nothing else.
Just to vent.
Bishop Henry is actually not too worried about the flaws 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 Glow Divine Cult is now basically dominated by conservatives.
In most dioceses of the Realak Kingdom, as well as Greenport and the branch dioceses of the Northern Kingdom in the bitter cold land to the north, more than 90% of the current bishops are conservatives.
Bishop Henry is a staunch conservative member.
Originally, before this eternal night disaster broke out, Henry Trump actually had the means to prevent it all.
A secret letter sent from the head teacher of the royal capital, plus a pure black round sphere that was mixed with magical materials and transported unnoticed.
According to the secret message.
Even if the situation reaches the end and enters an irreversible situation.
As long as you cast enough purifying glow magic on this pure black round sphere.
It will exert its magical power and forcibly "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 ball, but only told Henry how to use it.
With the trump card, Henry dared to indulge the disaster so unscrupulously, and even made it worse.
Not only did he know the possible consequences of the disaster, he also knew its cause.
He even played a role in it.
For example, those mysterious men in black robes.
Henry did have some contact with them.
Because Henry needs to use them to understand the "current situation" of the countess, so as to make corresponding preparations before the eternal night disaster is coming.
Of course.
Henry is sure that all his actions were extremely secretive and left no evidence!
Every time I meet with a man in black robe, no, to be precise, it is not a meeting at all.
It is a handover.
Taking advantage of the monthly charity day, the other party will pretend to be a kind-hearted citizen who comes to donate money, and then put hollow gold coins into the donation box.
In the name of counting money, Henry went through the coins in the box and found the special gold coin that was obviously of the wrong weight.
Break open the thin gold skin on the outside and read the secret message inside.
All secret messages will be destroyed after reading.
What he burned by his own hands was definitely not seen by a third person.
With such a seamless exchange of information, at least on the surface, there is no problem with the image of Bishop Henry Trump.
......
But the problem right now is.
The disaster was ended early! Someone rushed into the countess' castle ahead of the Glow God Cult, and then chopped melons and vegetables along the way. It only took less than a day for the eternal night to subside.
This is what gives Henry the most headache!
The credit that should belong to the Glow God Sect has been cut off, and someone picked the fruit in advance!
This feat was accomplished by a group of "heretical believers" whom he didn't like!
As word spread about the crowd watching the movie and the miracle of the collective resurrection of the victims, Bishop Henry also learned about the situation at that time.
A sudden change of family.
Just when he sent the Crusaders to take over order in Qim Town, the people from the Seeking Church arrived in Ceylon City, and the two sides passed each other.
Everyone accomplished what they wanted to do.
But judging from the results, it is clear that the Glow God Sect suffered a huge loss!
The reputation plummeted.
What makes Bishop Henry Trump even more irritated is that the two secret letters he delivered to the royal capital in the past few days all received bad news.
In the first letter, he described the situation as briefly as possible, emphasizing the existence of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, and these heretical believers had messed up the overall situation.
The reply sent to him was to ask him to control public opinion as much as possible and not to cause problems with the reputation of the Glow God Religion.
As for the question of the Church seeking knowledge, the cardinals are still discussing it.
The second letter was already Henry's letter asking for help.
Because of the plummeting reputation of the Glow God Religion in Ceylon, he couldn't control it!
In fact, when he received the first reply, Henry was a little bit embarrassed.
The big shots in the head church in the capital are like this. All they have to do is open their mouths and say "control public opinion", but if they implement it to the churches in these areas, they will have to break their legs!
Bishop Henry did something right.
He personally made the decision and spent a large sum of money on behalf of the Glow God Religion, a full 2,000 gold coins.
This is almost the entire cash reserve of the Ceylon Leader Glow God Religion!
Announced that all the money will be donated to rebuild the Ceylon Territory after the disaster and build several relief shelters.
At the same time, he also promised:
Those who suffered serious injuries such as missing arms or legs in the disaster can come to Glowing Church. In the next period of time, the priests will try their best to help them. The cost of providing treatment is also advanced by this money.
But these measures have had little effect.
Because what the Glow God Religion can do, the Seeking Knowledge Church can also do.
And do it better!
We just announced that we will donate 2,000 gold coins.
Over at the Church of Seeking Knowledge, Lord Hugo Seavey immediately responded tit-for-tat, announcing that there would be a disaster relief fund of 10,000 destiny points as bonuses for those who completed the corresponding tasks.
Although the amount of money is a little less, the money will be like a bounty pool, which can be viewed by everyone at any time, and people can claim part of the rewards as long as they complete the tasks.
The large sum of gold coins that the Glow Divine Religion took out was different.
Bishop Henry knew it all.
Even if he wants to spend all of the 2,000 gold coins.
The deacons and priests below him will also have their own little thoughts.
Such a big sum of money, such a rare opportunity.
Isn’t it normal for you to “justifiably” make a fortune from it?
In particular, this is originally the "hidden rule" of the Glow God Religion.
Even the head teacher in the capital is like this.
The so-called donations and appropriations will by default be taken away by faculty at all levels.
After all, the actual implementation depends on these people.
The ones taken away are the allowances to reward them.
In the past, it was okay to do this, after all, everyone did it.
Now the problem is big!
Because this weirdo, the Church of Seeking Knowledge, appeared!
