Chapter 512 The Whispering of the Dark Night
The Church of the Dark Night must be brought down. This is the basis of everything. If the Church of the Dark Night does not intervene, the previous agreement with Chairman Ole will lose its preconditions, and the old Chairman will inevitably Will withdraw and stay out of things.
After all, the medicine is now confirmed to be available, and the plague is no longer an unsolvable crisis. There is no need to take risks for a trump card that may not be useful. After all, the League of Shadows is mysterious and no one is sure what they have. means.
But how to persuade the old fox Trinleth made Lynch think for a long time.
Going head-to-head with the Shadow Alliance for a rare item that may not be usable is not only likely to cause personal and material losses, but also if something goes wrong, you will have to endure public condemnation and lose your reputation. He wouldn't want it to happen if it were Lynch's turn.
Being rational and emotional is just a bonus in the current situation and does not play a decisive role. This is the reason why Trinleth was silent just now, even if he wanted to help , but also for the whole church.
Then the only feasible option is to start with the entire church, luring them with benefits, exchanging at equal value, each getting what it needs, and bundling the interests. As long as you promise enough benefits to make the other party tempted, and reduce the risk as much as possible, you won't have to worry about the old fox not taking the bait.
The intervention of Chairman Ole has reduced the risk from the high-end combat power, and what is left are the interests that can make the church tempted.
God may not necessarily love the world, or even the world, but they must love the faith of the world, at least their believers and churches love the faith of the world.
For the church, faith not only represents an increase in influence and voice, but also means real donations. The church is also a mortal being and is not exempt from the secular world.
As for whether the gods really need faith, Lin Qi doesn’t know, but the gods have no objection to this. One god’s lack of objection may be just a personal preference, but if the twelve gods tacitly agree that they don’t object, then That's enough to illustrate the problem.
Lynch is not disgusted by this, but rather approves of this attitude.
There is no love without reason in the world, and others have no obligation to help you for no reason. No matter what the reason is, if you do good deeds and help you, you should be rewarded. If gods protect the world, you should gain faith and be confident.
So he has already thought of a way to deal with it. Instead of testing the opponent's bottom line, he will be the king of attack as soon as he makes a move.
If it were in the past, this matter would not provide much faith, but tonight Lynch's press conference has changed everything. From tomorrow on, the League of Shadows will become the public enemy of the world, and as a way to fight against the world The main force of the public enemy, the goddess of the night will never get less faith than the Lord of Suffering, and the price is only to protect the light of miracles for a few days, and with the help of the city's highest combat power, the balance in the heart will naturally tilt to one side.
It was already four o'clock in the morning when the carriage arrived at the Dark Night Cathedral.
The red moon is gone, the silver moon is hanging in the west, and the stars are few and far between.
The castle-like Dark Night Cathedral is pitch black, standing in the darkness as mysterious and deep as the night.
As the three people appeared at the door of the church, the closed door slowly opened, revealing the dark and long corridor behind the door. Only the silver moonlight filtered through the broken stained glass, casting mottled shadows on the corridor.
“Uh, don’t you usually turn on the lights?” Lynch sighed, “It’s not like you haven’t paid the gas bill.”
“The night gives us eyes that can see through darkness. We don’t mind the darkness, it’s the Lord’s mercy.” Amid Chairman Ole’s chuckles, Archbishop Trinleth sighed deeply and explained, “Many of the Lord’s servants like to stay in the church at night. Listen to the whispers in the dark night. The church at night is a paradise for the Lord to soothe the hearts of believers. We generally don’t turn on the lights, which will cast dust on our piety and love. You can light the lights if you want, but don’t make too much noise.”
"Well, I am a follower of the moonlight and follow the teachings of the Lord. The Lord said, let there be light."
Then he polished the lighter and raised it high above his head. Well, it seemed that he could not see the road even more clearly. , it’s better not to order. "Why didn't Ms. Scarlet take you..." Trinleth rolled up her sleeves and resisted the urge to hit, "Please come in. Actually, I don't like people to disturb you at night, but now... hmm?"
In Trinleth's words of explanation, the three of them walked inward along the lights, with a dark arc-shaped dome above their heads, symbolizing the endless dark night. However, before the Archbishop finished speaking, a starlight lit up on the dome.
When Lynch came during the day, he noticed that they were golden stars dotted on the dome. He thought they were just ordinary decorations, but now he discovered that they were actually shining. A bit of starlight is like a signal, and the next moment, the stars light up one after another, going deep along the long corridor, like a welcome support, and like a guiding light, extending neatly into the depths of the church.
Trinless' face tightened, and then he drew a five-star on his chest, which was a symbol of the dark night. Then he bowed in silence, waiting until the starlight extended into the depths of the church, then straightened up and sighed:
"Well, praise the dark night, the stars have lit up the way home for you, then, welcome home, children of the dark night, followers of the moonlight."
As he said that, the archbishop shook his holy robe, He made a gesture of invitation:
"Please follow the guidance of the stars. The Lord has heard the footsteps of the child returning home and is looking forward to it."
Following his words, many people wearing dark night robes walked out from both sides of the corridor. Everyone touched their chests and lowered their heads to Lin Qi. Their silent figures loomed in the darkness, which was a bit strange, but also solemn. And solemn.
‘Hello, hello, are you there? ’
【Not here】
‘? ? ? Just say don’t peek at my previous chats with netizens. I really miss the days when you whispered that I was here. Forget it, you don’t object if I go in. ’
A gentle female voice sounded faintly: [Go, even if she has ill intentions towards you, she won’t take action now. You are safe. 】
‘No, I want to ask if it will have any impact on you if I go in. ’
[…] After a moment of silence, a low chuckle suddenly sounded in my mind: [Thank you, don’t worry about me, I’m safe. 】
‘I’m not worried about you, okay, maybe I’m a little worried, just a little. '
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to imitate the appearance of these professional priests and draw some high-level gestures on his chest to show off. Made a circle.
There was a full moon in the sky. Lin Qi thought that this gesture should be appropriate. Sure enough, his momentum immediately rose. Under the gaze of many priests, Lin Qi straightened his clothes and handed the miraculous light to the chairman and Trin Lai. Si, took a deep breath and took steps following the guidance of the starlight.
The light was dim, but it illuminated the space just below my feet.
The dark church, the solemn and respectful but silent crowd, the stars guiding the way, the gathering light, everything is so quiet, only the clear footsteps go deep down the long corridor.
He didn't know how long he had been walking. Time seemed to have lost its meaning here. Lin Qi didn't know where he was going or where the end of the road was.
However, seeing the darkness around him getting deeper and deeper, and the stars above his head getting brighter and brighter, Lin Qi suddenly felt something in his heart, stopped, and bowed forward slightly: "Followers of the Crimson Moon , I came here to listen to the whispers in the dark night."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes darkened, and at some point, Lin Qi had already walked into the void.
