Soul echo

Chapter 202 Absurd Words
Zhong Ye led Lilian through the hall and walked into the nave of the Sun Temple. Before revealing his identity, a priest who was explaining the scriptures to the believers noticed him at a glance.

Although the pastor didn't make any other movements, Zhong Ye had a keen sense and could clearly feel that the pastor was focusing on him.

After a little thought, Zhong Ye realized that it might be because of [Sun Blessing].

This blessing has not brought him much help. After all, all the bonuses are quite 'slight', and even if it helped him, it would be difficult to detect.

This was a blessing given to him by the Sun God, and it was not a strange thing for the priest of the Sun God to notice it.

Zhong Ye and Lilian stood aside and waited, watching the believers coming and going around them.

But they didn't wait too long, and soon another priest came to the nave. He looked like he had something to do, but when he saw Zhong Ye, he was slightly startled, turned around and walked over.

"Excuse me, are you..."

Apprentices are still unable to distinguish the blessings on Zhong Ye, but the priests are all official priests, and their connection with the gods is more profound, and they can see the [Sun Blessing] carried by Zhong Ye at a glance.

"I'm Zhong Ye."

Hearing this name, the pastor's face changed, and he was in awe.

"So you are Your Excellency Zhong Ye!"

The legendary story of "Zhong Ye" has long been circulated in the Church of the Sun. They all know that Zhong Ye is a native of the East, and he also has blessings from the gods they believe in.

If it is another church, maybe it needs to be confirmed, but the Church of the Sun does not need to confirm at all. Any official priest who has been approved by the Sun God can see the blessing of the Sun God in Zhong Ye.

In today's world, there are not many people who have [Sun Blessing]. On this basis, with a special appearance that is different from that of the Westlanders, and also dressed as an adventurer, it should be Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye nodded slightly, "You should know what I'm doing now, right?"

The pastor thought back, "Tracking down hallucinogens?"

"Yes." Zhong Ye nodded again, "I want to get some clues from you, and we can exchange information we each know."

The pastor glanced at the foyer, and took a light breath, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, I still have some things to do now, but I can take you to the reception room first, so that other people can exchange information with you. Is it possible?"

"of course can."

Zhong Ye doesn't care who exchanges information with him, nor does he care about the status of the person who receives him, as long as he can get the information he wants.

Afterwards, the pastor took Zhong Ye and Lilian to the reception room.

After saying 'wait a moment', the pastor left the reception room.

There were only the two of them left in the room. In the past, Lilian might have felt restless, but after becoming Zhong Ye's student, she learned a lot, including 'patience'.

Now, she was always thinking about the conversation with Zhong Ye before entering the temple.

Although that was just speculation, the more I thought about it, the more likely it became.

There should not be a god of 'hallucinogens' in "Echo of Soul", so it is possible that those beliefs do not point to the gods of the world of Dan...

"Don't think so much."

Sitting at the side with his eyes closed, Zhong Ye suddenly said, "With the known information, it is impossible to guess what those hallucinogen dealers and the interest groups behind them are trying to do. It is useless to sit here and think about it." .”

Even so, Lilian couldn't control herself from thinking about those things.

If 'hallucinogens' represented what she thought they were, they were dismantling a 'church' now!

Although it is a cult, it is more or less a church.

But what Zhong Ye said is also right, it doesn't make any sense to sit here and daydream.

Lilian nodded slightly, no longer thinking about what was there, and quietly waiting for the arrival of the Sun Church.

During this period, she quietly activated [Adjustment of Breath]——she didn't know if this skill had 'real basis', but she just thought that if this skill could also be used in reality, it might be able to cure her illness. Bring great help.

I just hope... this skill is also there!

While waiting, many viewers who didn't want to leave the live broadcast room began to play cards in the air in the barrage, but they all "played their own way", and there were all kinds of chess and cards from the early 21st century to the early 22nd century.

Lilian didn't care about the gradual loss of the audience. Compared with before, she was much more patient and didn't care so much about gains and losses.

About 10 minutes later, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in.

"His Excellency Zhong Ye?"

Zhong Ye opened his eyes and nodded, "Hello."

Upon receiving a response, the middle-aged man smiled, raised his hand and drew a circle on his chest, "Hi, Your Excellency Zhong Ye, I am the vice-bishop of the Lyon Diocese of the Church of the Sun, and you can call me 'Parrish'."

Zhong Ye also stood up, cupping his fists in return, "Zhong Ye, a warrior."

"Please sit down."

Parrish smiled and invited Zhong Ye to sit down, and then sat down opposite them.

After sitting down, the archdeacon took a deep breath, his face gradually became serious, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, we have already learned about what you did in Annecy and Bourg. Are you tracking 'hallucinogens'?"

Zhong Ye nodded, "Yes, what's the problem?"

"There is indeed a problem..."

Speaking of which, Parrish pondered for a while, and asked: "I wonder if you already know that there is an interest group behind those hallucinogen dealers?"

"I already know from the Dimother Church in Bulger." Zhong Ye replied.

"Then do you know... this interest group is likely to be a group of cultists?" Parrish asked again.

"This point, I'm just guessing." Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, "Have you already made a decision now?"

Parrish shook his head, "No, until now, we only suspect that they are cult members, and there is no clear evidence to prove that they are cult members."

If Zhong Ye realized something, he asked, "Do you already know who they are?"

"I only know one or two..."

As he said, Parish sighed: "As you guessed, they are all nobles. According to their own description, the reason why they want to sell hallucinogens is because they are obsessed with ghosts, and they are attracted to the benefits that hallucinogens can bring them Wealth—by the way, they are all fallen nobles. The reason why they want to collect money is to revive their family business.

"According to our agreement with the nobles, they are 'just' selling hallucinogens, not heretics. We have no right to apply to their lords to deprive them of their titles and fiefs, and we have no way to punish them. We can only let their lords Deprive them of all the money they have collected.

"And the existence of that interest group, we are only speculating, there is no way to know whether the interest group really exists from the mouths of those nobles - it was not until the Earth Mother Church really confirmed its existence."

After listening, Zhong Ye said: "If there are no accidents, there are probably many nobles in that interest group, right?"

"We can't be sure about this, but logically speaking, it is true..." Parish couldn't help but sigh again, feeling depressed.

How glorious the nobles were in the past, and how dark the nobles are now. Comparing the two, it is really hard to believe that these nobles are the descendants of those nobles back then.

Suddenly, Zhong Ye said: "A drug addict is a believer, a hallucinogen dealer is a priest, and the boss is a priest... Have you ever thought of this?"

Lilian's eyes widened, and she turned to look at her teacher.

Why did Zhong Ye suddenly mention this? Didn't the whole studio hear it now?

Parrish, who was moaning, stared and raised his head suddenly.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye... Do you know what you are talking about?" Parish stared at Zhong Ye for a long time, and after a long silence, he asked with difficulty.

Zhong Ye seemed not to have heard Parrish's question, and continued to ask: "There shouldn't be a 'God of Hallucinogens' in the world of Dan, right?"

"...Please wait a moment, I need to ask the Bishop for instructions."

As he said that, before Zhong Ye could reply, Parish suddenly got up, hurriedly opened the door, and left the reception room.

——like running away!
