crush the rich

The priests of the holy city thought about the various tragedies of the holy city under the rule of the Magic Association, but they did not think about such a result.According to the past style of the Magic Association, a major cleansing is inevitable, and the churches have also made preparations, waiting for support from branches across the mainland while lurking.

But this time, the Magic Association no longer behaved according to their expectations.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows who should make the decision this time.

This envoy of the Life Church has often made unexpected moves since he appeared in front of people, and every action can have a huge impact.During the dissemination of the Church of Life, the Magic Association unknowingly began to be accepted by countries in the mainland. One of the reasons is that Yin Lian persuaded the black sage to send businessmen and adventurers to spread rumors about the Magic Association in various countries.Many of these rumors do not promote how amiable the Magic Association is, but just rumors about some achievements and anecdotes about mages.

But these rumors can make people understand the Magic Association and the group of mages better, thus narrowing the distance between the two parties and changing the general people's impression of the mage association.

Although it's just a tiny bit each time, as long as such rumors overshadow those who kill people and experiment with people, it will have a positive impact on the Magic Association.

This is an opportunity for others to learn about the Magic Association through another way, and it is also Yin Lian's means of trying to reshape the public image of the Magic Association.People in this world don't seem to realize the importance of public opinion, especially the Magic Association, an illegal business organization that has been treated as a villain for many years, most of them have a completely broken mentality and don't care about reputation at all plant something.

The only person who has some vague awareness of this aspect may be the black sage, so he has been working on the relationship network of the Magic Association among political forces in various countries for more than a hundred years.But Yin Lian felt that his method was still too limited—he underestimated the power of the people too much.

If every single individual force is a giant that can make a powerful voice that cannot be rejected, then the people are equivalent to the medium.These mediums themselves seldom speak, and even if they do say something, maybe no one will care.But they are the key factors in determining which voices will be conveyed in the end, and how they will be conveyed.

Their abilities may be small, and their ideas may be irrelevant, but they can influence the thinking of many people.

So Yin Lian asked people to use vivid stories to describe all kinds of interesting magic props created by mages, describe some interesting daily stories of mages, and make some people's stories into legends that I am familiar with but have no idea who they are talking about Stories... spread to the people bit by bit.

And the strategy is clearly working.Because compared to the horror stories about mages that have been unchanged for hundreds of years in the Holy City, such rumors are obviously more novel and interesting, and they can attract everyone's attention.

This kind of public opinion building has also had a great impact on the distant holy city. If it weren't for this, according to the brainwashing results of the church over the years, it would never be so smooth when the Magic Association took over the holy city, except for the people of the church , almost no ordinary people engage in suicidal resistance because of too much fear.

And the belief-related laws and regulations that have emerged today have surprised many people.Perhaps for ordinary people, this freedom of belief decree is a kind of goodwill of the Magic Association towards the people, but only the major churches understand... the huge ambitions of the Magic Association buried under these laws and regulations.

He was trying to weaken the influence of the Holy City Church itself, but he used the names of the believers in a pretentious manner.Once implemented, all churches will be coerced by the Magic Association—because all the people are "protected" by them.

Not only that, in fact, even the church can be "protected" by the Magic Association...as long as they are willing to surrender to the Magic Association.What does it mean?This means that all churches will completely lose their own sovereignty, and even the distribution of interests and power struggles in the future must be carried out through the Magic Association.

For such a decree, the reaction of most powerful sects is to sneer.

However, some weak or moderate sects inevitably have different opinions.

"Pastor Rosa asked me to come for something?"

The female priest in a moon-white robe smiled, but said: "Mr. Luther, you have been doing business in various parts of the mainland all year round, and you are well-informed. I have something I want to ask you."

The businessman was not surprised when he heard this, but said respectfully: "Please tell me."

Pastor Rosa said, "Do you know anything about the Church of Life and the Magic Association?"

The businessman didn't expect her to ask this, so he hesitated for a moment.

Rosa saw the hesitation in his expression, so she took the initiative to say: "You don't have to hesitate, just speak up. What I want to know is the most real situation of the Life Church, not the exaggerated and alarmist words of the Sun Church."

Luther said: "...I don't know the internal situation of the Church of Life. In fact, the rumors about the Church of Life circulating outside are quite exaggerated and may not be taken seriously. But since the saint wants to know, I can naturally tell you .”

"It is rumored that the predecessor of the Church of Life was actually a wild sect believed by the peasants, and then one day there suddenly appeared such an envoy who claimed to be the envoy of the Goddess of Life, and was quickly worshiped and believed by the peasants. The amazing thing is , she really brought a lot of unheard of, but very useful plant seeds. With her leadership, the nearby villages gradually became more abundant. After that, for some reason, she led the self-defense team of the village all the way to the capital of the sages , and persuaded the black sage to let her build a temple in the capital of the sages."

"Persuade..." Rosa said after pondering for a long time, "I don't think Black Sage is easy to be persuaded."

Luther said: "This pity is a character like Salmadi. You may not know that although the holy city is in its current state, there are young people secretly visiting her every day. Even For a young person like me, when I see her, I feel that a goddess has descended... She has an aura that makes people can't help but listen to her."

Rosa frowned when she heard this, and asked, "...but magic was used?"

Luther shook his head and said, "It will make people feel this way for a moment. But you know, I have encountered this kind of thing in my early years, and it can basically be determined that it is not magic. At least it is not a spell to deceive people."

Rosa said, "You mean... charisma?"

Luther said: "...It's not too wrong for you to say that."

Rosa was silent for a long time, not saying much.After recovering, he began to ask Luther some other details.Luther told her about the orphanage, the loom and the miracle.

Rosa has actually heard of most of the content, but she has been in the holy city after all, and she does not know the situation in other places as well as Luther, so listening to Luther's detailed explanation at this time is also very important for the Church of Life. I learned a lot more about the specific situation.

Finally, she said to Luther sincerely: "Mr. Luther, this conversation is very useful to me. Thank you very much."

Mr. Luther raised his hat, saluted, and said, "It is my honor to serve Luna."

After Yin Lian had been busy for a while, she also roughly understood the current form of the holy city.

Although it is said that there are twelve bishop sects in the Holy City, among them, the Sun God Sect and the Wind God Sect are the most powerful.Theoretically, the Sun God Sect and the Moon God Sect should echo each other, but the Moon God Sect ranks last among the Twelve Bishops, and has almost no sense of existence.

Apart from the Sect of the Sun God and the Sect of the Wind God, the Sect of the Vulcan, the Sect of the Sea God, and the Sect of the Valkyrie are relatively influential. They are all quite radical and aggressive churches, and they were also damaged in this confrontation with the Magic Association. The most serious churches.

In addition, there are some churches, such as believe in the moon god, the moon god religion dominated by female priests in the church, the artisan god religion believed by the craftsmen, and the shepherd god religion believed by the farmers, for example. The presence of the Church of Life and the Magic Association was relatively peaceful, and there was even a hint of goodwill.

Yin Lian estimated that it was the result of her spreading teachings and farming knowledge during this period of time.

From this reaction, Yin Lian saw an opportunity to divide the holy city and then subdue it one by one.

She was thinking in the temporary magic hut when she heard someone knocking on the door.She asked, "Who?"

The outside replied: "God's envoy, it's me."

With a wave of Yin Lian's hand, the door opened.Walking in was a waiter from the Life Cult Temple, and said, "An envoy, Your Excellency Dale asked me to give this to you."

After Yin Lian took over, she found out that it was a list.She thought about it for a while, and remembered that this list should be the names of believers who could be used in the holy city that she had asked Dale to collect.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of repairing the church to preach, Yin Lian has also recruited some believers during this period, but the character and ability of these believers, who is available and who is not... still needs time-consuming investigation to know.She didn't have the time herself, so she handed over the task to her priest.

And the list now obtained is obviously the result of the investigation.

It is densely packed with many small characters, detailing the character background, ability level, and inspection results of the believers that the pastors think are suitable for use.

And Yin Lian soon saw several special characters on this list.

She found a waiter and asked, "Mr. Murphy's background information says that the former cardinal of the Sun God Sect...is it wrong?"

The waiter heard this and immediately replied: "That's right." Then she said, "Your Excellency Dale was also surprised before, because it is said that Mr. Murphy is the adopted son of the former Pope. Later, the former Pope died unexpectedly, and Mr. Murphy also He was soon dismissed from the position of bishop because of a mistake in a major ceremony. He has not left his home for almost seven years, and he usually makes a living by treating people. Here, hoping to get a job."
