Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

In fact, as a national belief, the sect of the Bright Moon Goddess has great power in the Omo Empire. Even the coronation of the emperor of the Omo Empire must be legitimate with the blessing and approval of the saint of the sect of the Bright Moon Goddess.

Many noble territories in the Omo Empire have large and small churches of the Bright Moon Goddess. The Bright Moon Goddess sect is famous throughout the continent for its superb healing and purification techniques.

Not only did the Cult of the Bright Moon Goddess often provide free medical treatment to civilians and even refugee slaves, but many high-ranking figures in the empire and even the military often sought help from the Cult of the Bright Moon Goddess's healers. As a result, the Cult of the Bright Moon Goddess had a very high reputation in the Omo Empire.

The presence of a large and prestigious organization within the empire often makes those in power feel deeply uneasy, and in other countries it is common for the Pope to interfere in government affairs, but the Cult of the Bright Moon Goddess seems to have almost never done anything similar.

The teachings of the Cult of the Moon Goddess can be roughly summarized as purifying and saving the world, and the objects of salvation include all life. Therefore, the principle of equality of life is advocated within the sect. This is why the Cult of the Moon Goddess hardly knows any offensive magic, while healing and purification magic are the ceiling of the entire continent.

Thousands of years have passed, and the Cult of the Moon Goddess has almost never actively interfered in the internal affairs of any country. Instead, it has always followed its teachings to provide free medical treatment and save lives. Therefore, many countries are very confident in the Cult of the Moon Goddess.

The Bright Moon Goddess Sect's missionary work in the entire Central Plains was very successful, and the vast majority of nobles would open their doors to welcome the sect's missionaries to preach, and would even provide funds to help the Bright Moon Goddess Sect build churches, because in the eyes of most nobles, the Bright Moon Goddess Sect was a free high-end hospital.

Unlike other religions, the Moon Goddess sect does not have a pope, but only a saint or a saint who is elected every thirty years. There is only one person who holds the highest position, and the person is usually recommended by the previous saint and then decided by the thirteen bishops after deliberation and voting.

However, there is a hard requirement to become a saint or saintess of the Moon Goddess sect, that is, you must be a light elemental mage. In fact, most of the high-ranking members of the Moon Goddess sect are also light elemental mages, and only light elemental mages can comprehend and master the sect's many healing secrets.

Old Bishop Odom kept talking to Bai Hao about everything along the way. Bai Hao felt helpless facing this white-haired old man with a kind smile on his face, but he had no choice but to deal with it.

Bai Hao was very puzzled. With the old man's status and position, there was no need for him to curry favor with a son of an earl. Bai Hao had already made it clear to Odom long ago that he would never join the Sect of the Bright Moon Goddess.

Even so, Bai Hao would always meet the bishop of this sect by coincidence every time he went to the Church of the Bright Moon Goddess in Campbell, and this powerful bishop would always talk to him. From family matters to future plans, this old man in his sixties or seventies always seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

"It happens that I'm free, so let me preside over Xiao Baihao's prayer this time." Odom said with a smile.

Elsa was still a little angry because of what happened not long ago, so she said sarcastically: "Why don't you let the missionary Qi Xuan who just joined the sect preside over it? As the bishop of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, you always personally preside over the prayers for a viscount. Isn't it a waste of your talent?"

Odom laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Haha, I just like to pray for Xiao Baihao. Seeing an excellent light elemental mage always makes me feel happy physically and mentally. As for my apprentice Qi Xuan, I sent him to the Seth Empire to preach a few days ago."

Aisha's eyes showed a little anger, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Odom's behavior of acting first and asking for permission later. You know, a few days ago, Qi Xuan was still a soldier in Campbell in name, so she said in a stern tone: "My son will never join any sect. I have watched him grow up since he was a child. He is very eccentric. Maybe he will not stay in the Central Plains in the future."

"It's a good thing for young people to be energetic. Besides, no one knows what will happen in the future, right, Xiao Baihao." Odom said to Bai Hao with a smile.

Originally, Elsa and Odom were arguing with each other, and Bai Hao was just watching from the side with the mentality of a spectator. Unexpectedly, Odom suddenly turned the gun towards him. He was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.

Seeing this, Odom smiled even more, walked briskly up to the platform and began to prepare for the prayer ceremony.

The blessing platform is a fan-shaped stone platform facing the seats, about 5 meters above the ground. The place where Odom presided over the ceremony is the highest point of the platform. The surface of the platform is covered with expensive dragon beast white tooth tiles, and there are many beautiful patterns on it.

The main personnel of this trip lined up in the seats below the platform. They covered their right fists with their left palms, placed them flat on their chests, lowered their heads slightly, closed their eyes and prayed. After listening to Bishop Odom's blessing, the prayer ceremony ended.

Perhaps because they had nothing to say to each other, after the prayer ceremony, Elsa took Bai Hao back to the manor without looking back. On the way back in the carriage, Elsa continued to teach Bai Hao.

In the carriage, Aisha said to Bai Hao earnestly, "My child, you know that I got sick because of giving birth to you. I can no longer have children. And your father is a stubborn person and will not take a concubine again."

Elsa looked at the child she had given birth to after enduring great pain and struggling for her life. She stroked Bai Hao's soft silver hair and said lovingly, "Don't blame your mother for restricting you too much. It's because you are now the only heir to the Campbell family. You must not have any accidents."

Suddenly, Elsa seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to Bai Hao in a serious tone: "You must not join the Bright Moon Goddess Sect. Although they do not stipulate that the members are not allowed to marry, none of the twelve bishops are married. Look at that old man Odom, he has been alone for sixty or seventy years."

Bai Hao found it a little funny, but he still nodded at his mother's well-intentioned words.

Odom stood in front of the church, looking at the carriage going further and further away, still with a smile on his face, but soon he let out a sigh.

The first time Odom met Bai Hao was at the gate of Campbell Elementary School. At that time, the two-year-old Bai Hao had just successfully opened up his own business. Just by looking at him from a distance, Odom felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Bai Hao.

The Cult of the Goddess of the Moon is very concerned about all the light elemental mages in Campbell County and even the surrounding areas. Actively absorbing light elemental mages or people who agree with the teachings of the Moon has always been the policy implemented by the sect.

Over the years, Odom has always been paying attention to Bai Hao's growth. He admires Bai Hao's unparalleled talent very much. Therefore, Odom is always enthusiastic about Bai Hao coming to him to learn light element magic.

Recruiting an outstanding light elemental mage into the sect seemed to have become an excuse for Odom to get close to Bai Hao. After all, he knew very well that the Campbell family would never let Bai Hao join the sect.

Although Odom knew that Bai Hao would not join the religion, every time Bai Hao approached him, he would involuntarily feel an inexplicable sense of closeness to Bai Hao, and this feeling has become more and more intense in recent years.

In the past, Odom would only feel Bai Hao when he came to the church to pray, but in recent years, Odom could feel Bai Hao's presence as long as he was in Campbell County.

This mysterious feeling did not make Odom feel uneasy. On the contrary, Odom seemed to have a sense of security like a baby in his mother's arms, which made him feel comfortable for no reason. As a result, Odom was always in a good mood and cheerful all day long in the past few years.

Odom once tried to analyze this inexplicable feeling, and even wrote letters to other nearby bishops to ask for advice, but to no avail.

By chance, Odom discovered that some of the believers, especially those with high magic rank, had the same feeling as him. Some of the believers with bad tempers always remained well-behaved over the years.

All these changes made Odom believe from the bottom of his heart that Bai Hao was destined to be with the Sect of the Bright Moon Goddess. His intuition told him that Bai Hao belonged to the Sect of the Bright Moon Goddess.

And Odom may have made a mistake. It was not that Bai Hao belonged to the Bright Moon Sect, but that the Bright Moon Sect belonged to Bai Hao and the Moon God behind Bai Hao.
