Mythical Invasion of the Heavens

Chapter 117 The Bishop's Confession
After the bishop walked out, Lin Yuan looked back at Hazel.

Hazel and Lin Yuan whispered that they would notify him later, and let Lin Yuan leave with the bishop in peace.

Following the bishop out of the tavern, the two villagers disappeared and blended into the crowd in the street.

That should be the bishop's eyeliner. This village is not small, with thousands of people.

There are probably not many people who belong to the bishop's informants. They are also the most powerful people after all, and they have unique abilities, such as the magic of opening the door on the first day they met.

There is indeed magic in this village, which he can be sure of. The bishop has used it. The dwarf who uses his singing to collect emotions, and Hazel, whose singing has magical power, are all magic users.

There is magic, but it is not used in all aspects.

This can only mean that there are not many people in the village who know magic, or there is no way to teach it.

"Lin Yuan, I won't call you the tombkeeper."

Lin Yuan's thinking was interrupted by the bishop's words, and the bishop continued: "Do you know the identity of Hazel?"

Regarding the bishop's words, Lin Yuan shook his head. The devil knows Hazel's identity, as long as he knows their purpose.

"They are witches, people who betray the will of God."

The bishop said very flatly, without any anger in his words.

This made Lin Yuan feel puzzled. If someone betrays the will of God, he must be heinous in the eyes of the bishop. How can he be so gentle.

Then the bishop said slowly: "Is it strange, why am I not angry, because I am also a person who betrays God's will."

These words made Lin Yuan stare at the bishop with wide eyes.

God's attendant, God's chosen servant, these were the original words spoken by the bishop at the beginning, but now he has turned around and admitted that he is a person who has turned his back on God.

"Are you surprised? It's actually nothing, because there is no god in this world."

The bishop uttered outrageous words in the ears of believers in a very ordinary manner.

According to the bishop, this world was abandoned by the gods. He discovered this a long time ago, because every time he prayed, there was no feedback from the gods.

But in the dense fog, there are puppets of gods.

Those puppets are monitoring the world, and the bishop doesn't know what is the use of their world, so they can only continue to believe in the gods.

Believing in the god who had abandoned them long ago, the bishop gradually discovered that this small world in this village is a special place.

The bishop's pious heart was changed little by little.

There is no birth, old age, sickness and death here. Everyone has a long life span, but everyone ignores this and regards it as a routine, just going through it day by day.

The bishop wondered if he was actually dead and this is heaven.

So everyone is happy, lives a long life, has no worries, and everyone lives like this day after day.

"Every time I inquire, it pushes me towards the opposite of God."

The bishop sighed heavily, full of emotion.

Curiosity about the world made the bishop turn his back on God step by step. He discovered that this place was some kind of testing ground, or a buffer zone.

Strange creatures and humans often come here.

These people who come here by chance don't know the situation here, and those who know the situation don't bother to tell everyone.

Speaking of this, the bishop also used the metaphor of a businessman.

The businessman doesn't use his real identity. He knows the situation in this world, but he won't reveal it. He just treats it as a real passerby.

What every businessman needs are the seven types of emotions in the seven deadly sins.

That was also the first time the bishop discovered that emotions could create powerful power, which made him, who only knew ordinary magic, feel the hope of rushing out of the world.

But no matter what exchange the bishop offered, the businessman was unwilling to give up.

As a last resort, the first dead person appeared in this world, and it was this dead person who let the bishop know that there is a puppet of the gods spying on this world.

"The first person to die, wouldn't it be Moses?"

Lin Yuan interjected with a strange face and asked, could it be that Moses' memory was retrieved just like this.

The bishop shook his head and replied, "No, the first person to die was the first generation of gravekeepers. Moses existed long before the first generation of gravekeepers."

The first cemetery keeper spends every day in a daze like a villager.

He had no doubts at all about the fact that there had never been a corpse in his own cemetery.

The bishop exchanged gold coins for a lot of magical knowledge from the merchant.

From this knowledge, he found a way to hide the truth and collect emotions, which not only the businessman didn't know, but even the puppets in the fog didn't know.

This requires a corpse. He aimed at the tomb keeper whom he met every day, and he could kill him directly. The bishop had an ominous premonition.

As a result, the bishop began to seduce and teach the tombkeeper, making him question the world.

Another day, under the instigation of the bishop, the gravekeeper stepped onto the podium, faced all the villagers and declared that the world was false, and presented the evidence one by one, and then the punishment came.

From the thick fog by the sea, a man on horseback appeared.

This man was dressed in black robes, leaving only his eyes, which could see outside. He called himself the chief judge and executed the tombkeeper in front of the villagers. A black bead disappeared from the sky.

After that, the villagers returned to normal, and the tomb guard was vacant.

The bishop searched for the bead many times, but there was no whereabouts until the second generation of gravekeepers appeared.

The second-generation gravekeeper, who claimed to be from hell, got this bead by chance, and it was the bead that brought him here.

After listening to the bishop's words, the cemetery keeper determined the seven deadly sins to cooperate with the bishop's method and formulated a more efficient way to collect emotions.

On the surface, sell seven items with strong emotions to the merchant, the merchant earns a fortune, and the gravekeeper exchanges the key to go home.

In fact, the carriers of the seven emotions, that is, the corpses, will turn into nutrients, nourish the earth, affect all villagers, make them have their own emotions, more like real people, and then break through this world.

"and then?"

Lin Yuan heard the exciting part, but the bishop stopped talking.

"Later, the method was indeed feasible. The merchant appeared, and the gravekeeper used the method of exchanging items with emotions to return, and the beads would bring the next gravekeeper here."

The bishop was quite helpless, he looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Until your appearance disrupts all the arrangements."

After the gravekeeper became vacant, the man from hell entered into a contract with the bishop and the businessman.

Whenever a new gravekeeper appears, he will select seven corpses from the village people from time to time within seven days. With these seven corpses, the merchant can also collect things like emotional organs and obtain greater benefits.

After the villagers die, the corpses will naturally appear in the cemetery, and the vacant villagers will be filled inexplicably.

The gravekeeper only needs to dispose of the corpse, and the props of the merchant make the death of the villagers even less likely to be discovered by the judge in the dense fog.

But on the first day Lin Yuan appeared, the corpse was not from the village at all.

The bishop had never heard of the character of an astrologer, but this person appeared in his memory of the last week.
