I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

At ten o'clock, the sun was shining brightly in Sadara Ponze, and only a few white clouds slowly drifted across the blue sky. The endless blue made the priests from all over the country who arrived at the Sadara meeting feel much better.

But thinking about the unpleasant quarrel between Viscount Laurent and the royal family last night, they still couldn't let it go.

Although the media reported in the morning that the war between the two sides was caused by misunderstandings and friction caused by the elimination of the Medes rebels, this high-sounding excuse is obvious to everyone.

Since Prince Lorenzo's incident, the situation in the empire has changed suddenly, and it feels even more dangerous than when Earl Eden rebelled two months ago.

Now Viscount Laurent not only controls Sadara, Medes, and Fesko, but I heard that he has also formed an alliance with Konacon.

In addition, Lord Bai Jingyan of the two southeastern provinces has a close relationship with the Luolun family, which means that the entire southern part of the empire is no longer under the control of the royal family...

Looking at it this way, Sadala is really a poisonous place, and any lord who works there has a tendency to go crazy...

No, the saint is not crazy, she is just fighting back in self-defense.

At this time, the priests who favored Sumujie and the royal family began to complain about Qingtian.

They feel that as the spokesperson of the goddess, they should adopt "love and peace" as their behavioral principles, so how can they engage in war without permission.

The faction that supports High Priest Luo Ze and Qing Tian believes that the basis of benevolence is mutual non-aggression. The royal family has pushed the Laurent family too far, and Viscount Laurent's counterattack is understandable.

Moreover, Viscount Laurent did not use the power of the state religion, he simply expressed his dissatisfaction as a lord.

Both sides hold different views and attitudes, and no one can convince the other.

There are also neutral parties who have nothing to do with themselves. As long as the fire does not reach the local temple, these matters have nothing to do with them for the time being.

After a while, at half past ten, Qingtian, Luo Ze, and Gerasius entered the conference hall.

Qing Tian had not changed into the divine robe, and at this moment he was still wearing light leather armor and was covered in the smell of blood. Coupled with the cold and solemn expression and the pressure of the divine general, all the priests felt a strong sense of presence and oppression.

Seeing her coming in, the priests changed their previous casual attitude. The priests who supported her were in awe. Those who had opinions about her also restrained their emotions and held their breath.

The host of the meeting announced the start of the high-level meeting of the state religion and stepped aside.

Temple meetings have always been presided over by the Supreme Council of Elders, and there is no need for a host to follow the process.

Luo Ze relies on sunny weather and is a devout believer. At this moment, with the goddess by his side, he was a little excited and a little expectant.

He looked at the sunny sky quietly. Gerasius saw that Luo Ze was silent and said nothing.

The scene was surprisingly quiet for a while.

Qingtian glanced at the two of them and twitched the corner of his mouth. He originally expected them to prepare their opening remarks...

It seems you have to do it yourself.

"I'm sorry, the meeting was postponed because of me." Qingtian stood up and bowed to everyone, making a ceremony to praise the goddess.

The high priests Luo Ze and Gerasius also stood up with heavy weights, pressed their right hands on their hearts and bowed their heads slightly.

"Praise the goddess."

After the basic etiquette was over, Qingtian decided to cut the knot quickly and said directly: "The reason why we gathered here for a meeting today. I believe you all already know."

"First, in order to safeguard the teachings of the Goddess and rectify the atmosphere within the church, inappropriate business practices and inappropriate activities within the church will be rectified and banned from now on."

"Prohibited contents probably include the sale of slaves, the training of special ascetics for the purpose of power and sex trade, the sale of special medicines in temple hospitals, etc."

"The rectification includes land sales, overseas trade, etc. The past will no longer be pursued, and the projects that are retained now need to be declared and legalized."

"The specific content and implementation details will be issued in writing to all locations within five days."

At this point, there was a burst of gasping sounds in the venue of nearly a hundred people.

The saint brought all the things that had been hidden in the dark to the light, and for a moment the faces of the priests were burning.

Some things sound really hard to imagine were done by a just and kind-hearted priest...

However, most of the local priests present did not participate and were not worried. The people of Sumujie's group were worried and unwilling.

For their own side's future and position, they rang the psychic opinion bell on the conference table.

Ding-ding-ding bells rang, and the whole place fell silent.

Sunny glanced displeasedly at the group of people ringing the bell, and said in a deep voice: "You all stand up. If you have any objections, tell them one by one, starting from the upper left."

Uh, do you still want to stand up?

The person who rang the bell didn't look very good. It seems that there was no such rule when speaking and expressing different opinions in the past.

Sunny tilted his head and glanced at Luo Ze.

[You have to watch out later. These are Su Mujie’s people. They will be attacked and retaliated in the future. 】

【…】

Luo Ze's face froze, and he felt that the halo of the majestic and holy goddess above his head on a sunny day disappeared instantly.

Seeing that those people were reluctant to stand up, Qingtian sneered and said, "Since no one stands up to express their opinions, shall I continue?"

Under the pressure from Qingtian, some of the priests who rang the bell slowly stood up with cold expressions. Some priests who escaped from the battle said that their hands were shaking and they rang the wrong bell...

After all, it is much more stressful to stand up and talk to each other than to sit down and talk. Not everyone has the courage to confront the person above.

When everyone who should be standing stood up, Qingtian banged the table, scaring everyone into thinking she was going to get angry.

As a result, she smiled and said: "Please start your performance!"

"..."

Luo Ze and Gerasius looked at each other. This god was really very different from what they imagined.

Priest Zuo Yi, who was under great psychological pressure, took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and paused...

He didn't really think about what to say, so he followed the adults sitting in the middle and rang the bell.

"Well...I think...this rectification..."

"What, that, and this?" Qingtian knocked on the table again and said impatiently:

"As a priest, you speak hesitantly and have no basic presentation skills. How do you usually preach and be a teacher in the academy? You actually sit in the position of an intermediate priest. It is so embarrassing to the state religion! At the end of the year, you take the priest assessment again and sit Come on. Next one.”

"..."

Sumujie's group was caught off guard by Qingtian's temper and was so angry that his teeth started to itch.

Viscount Laurent is deliberately suppressing this!

I suppressed me, what can you do to me?

Qingtian proudly raised her chin at the second person on the left, "It's your turn, you say it."

The second left person clenched his fists, took two deep breaths and said:

"I think the temple hospital should not be prohibited from selling medicines. 50% of the empire's various medicines are produced by the state church. Sales are not only beneficial to the temple, but also to the people of Lanze, making it easier for them to take medicine when they are sick."

Qingtian smiled faintly, "You didn't listen carefully and your reading comprehension was not up to par. You didn't hear the word 'special' when I said it."

"For example, the sale of special drugs such as poisons and psychedelics should be restricted. Other drugs that protect people's lives and health should not only be supplied to noble merchants. These are also the recent tasks of the relevant priests and detailed rules need to be formulated."

"Because you just have a bad ear and not a bad heart, I will punish you to go back and copy the teachings ten times, analyze and explain each point with examples, and hand it over to High Priest Gerasius within a week."

"In addition, since you have a lot of insights into the medical field, you will be transferred to the drug registration department of the Temple Hospital where you are located for one year starting from next month."

The corner of Zuo Er's mouth twitched and he sat down with an ugly expression.

Forget it, copying teachings and changing posts is better than taking the priest exam again...

The other people standing there were pounding in their hearts, and those with lower positions especially regretted joining in the fun.

Why is the saint looking for an excuse to suppress people of her own sect? What should I do? Without the protection of the people above, no matter how much they say, it will be useless.

So the people standing in the back row turned their attention to the two elders sitting in the middle and front.

The two older elders had dark faces and gleams on their backs...

It's really hard for them not to come forward now.

The saint is so majestic that other priests dare not confront her.
