[Host and Aphra Favorability +5]

Afra listened to several stories of Cheng Yu and found them quite interesting, and her favorability towards Cheng Yu increased a little.

With a casual personality and a pampered life, she is not as easy to conquer as Mina and Ivennie. After half a month of getting along, her favorability towards Cheng Yu is only 10 points.

That old guy Barney said he would find the blood clan's favorite sad spirit flower to help assist, I wonder if he found it.

"Cheng Yu, let's go for a walk in the town."

Afra had some good feelings for Cheng Yu and took the initiative to invite Cheng Yu to go for a walk together.

"Okay."

Cheng Yu was going to build a large baking oven, and he happened to be going to the town to find a mason.

The two left the manor and walked along the wide gravel road towards Bailu Town. The tall trees on both sides of the road rustled in the wind.

The manor is not far from Bailu Town, about ten minutes' walk.

At the entrance of the town, a handsome boy stood by the roadside, with a broken bowl in front of him and an old harp in his hand, playing the harp and singing poems.

The pleasant sound of the harp and the singing attracted some people to stop and listen.

Occasionally, generous people would give him a few copper coins.

"Charles, you are singing here again." Cheng Yu walked over and greeted the boy.

Hearing someone calling him, Charles stopped playing the harp, blinked his eyes playfully, and corrected, "Singing is so vulgar, I am singing poems, a refined art!"

"...Okay, I am too vulgar and can't appreciate your refined art."

Cheng Yu and Aphra entered Bailu Town and strolled aimlessly.

In the small square in the center of Bailu Town, there is a life-size statue of the Holy Lady of Light, more than one meter high, which is white and transparent, with exquisite carving techniques, lifelike, and looks like a real person.

The believers of the Church gathered around the statue and knelt down to worship it.

"Cheng Yu, who is that statue?"

Afra looked at the statue of the Holy Lady of Light, who was wearing a white veil and holding a holy sword.

"The new Holy Lady of Light."

"I heard that the Holy Lady of the Holy See of Light is a high-risk job. I wonder how long this new Holy Lady can live?"

Afra also heard a little about the danger of the position of the Holy Lady of Light.

"Heh~ Who knows~"

There was a mixture of three parts of dissatisfaction and three parts of arrogance in his tone. Cheng Yu was very upset about the actions of the Holy See of Light.

In front of the jade statue, all the believers of the Holy See of Light were obsessed with the beauty of the Holy Lady of Light.

"Beautiful Saint, I will always believe in you and the goddess."

"I love the Holy Lady of Light, and I will devote my life to the cause of light."

"I want to make a life-size doll of the Holy Lady of Light, and then... hehe."

...

Seeing those perverted believers, Cheng Yu wanted to rush up and spit out sweet words.

Are you guys believing in light?

You are obviously greedy for the body of the Holy Lady of Light, you are cheap!

"How can there be such a perfect person as the Holy Lady of Light in the world? The Holy Lady of Light is just a fictional and beautified character created by the Holy See to fool the public."

Cheng Yu told the truth about the Holy Lady of Light and exposed the conspiracy of the Holy See in public.

However, when everyone heard Cheng Yu's words, they were immediately unhappy.

"Who are you? How dare you question the Holy Lady of Light."

"According to the introduction of the Holy See, when the plague broke out in the south, the Holy Lady of Light rescued many civilians. There are believers who have received the grace of the Holy Lady of Light and told us about the greatness of the Holy Lady of Light. I will not allow anyone to discredit the Holy Lady of Light."

"Aren't you the one who sold fried rice before? You are so crazy after making a little money that you dare to question the Holy Lady of Light."

"Do you think we believe in you or the great Holy See of Light?"

...

In order to establish the glorious image of the Holy Lady of Light, the Holy See even asked people to make up stories, tell us about the various great deeds of the Holy Lady of Light.

All believers of the Church of Light believe that the Holy Lady of Light is real.

"Ignorance is an original sin, just don't believe it."

Cheng Yu was too lazy to talk to these believers.

"Get away from the statue of the Holy Lady of Light, you are not welcome here."

"Yes, you are not welcome here."

"Get away from the statue of the Holy Lady of Light."

The believers drove Cheng Yu away angrily.

"Xiao Fu, let's go."

Cheng Yu took Aphra away from the square.

"Cheng Yu, why do you say that the Holy Lady of Light is fictional?"

Afra looked at Cheng Yu with a smile, her eyes full of gossip, she smelled the smell of fun.

"Nothing."

Cheng Yu would not tell Aphra that he was the new Holy Lady of the Church of Light, although it was only in name, without any responsibility or real power.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man walked quickly, stopped in front of Cheng Yu, and said very politely, "Hello, my dear friend."

"Who are you?"

Cheng Yu stopped and looked at the thin andThe man with the monkey in his eyes didn't know him.

The skinny man said, "I heard what you said in the square just now about the Saint of Light."

"So, you are also a believer of the Holy See of Light? Are you ready to fight me?"

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Cheng Yu stared at the other party with ill intentions, without any fear.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, we are fellow travelers." The skinny man laughed.

"Fellow travelers? Where are we fellow travelers?"

Cheng Yu didn't know this man at all.

"You don't like the Saint of Light, and I don't like the Saint of Light either. Do you think we are fellow travelers?"

If the believers in the square are all true fans of the Saint of Light, Cheng Yu is the number one black fan of the Saint of Light.

"So you are also a black fan of the Saint of Light, and you are really fellow travelers." Cheng Yu suddenly realized.

The skinny man looked around, approached Cheng Yu, and whispered, "Are you interested in joining our church? Let's fight against the evil Saint of Light together."

"Church?"

Cheng Yu hesitated. He didn't expect that the Saint of Light's haters actually had a church.

"Yes, we are the Shadow Society."

"This..."

Cheng Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Isn't the Shadow Society the heretical organization that assassinated the previous Saints of Light?

He actually encountered it!

"The vast majority of people in the Black Sun Empire believe in the Church of Light. In order to fight against the evil Church of Light, our Shadow Society must unite all the forces that can be united. I agree with what you said about the Saint of Light just now."

The skinny man said seriously.

Cheng Yu immediately put on a righteous face with a serious expression, "The Holy Lady of Light is causing trouble in the world. Defeat the evil Holy Lady of Light and awaken the ignorant believers of the Church of Light."

"Yeah, you are very conscious."

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, the thin man smiled even brighter and nodded in appreciation, "My name is Andy. Come to the grocery store east of Bailu Town tomorrow, and I will take you to meet the guide of our Shadow Society."

"Who is the guide?"

"The guide is my superior, responsible for registering newcomers and giving blessings to the God of Shadow."

"Okay."

Cheng Yu and Andy made an appointment to go to the grocery store east of Bailu Town tomorrow to meet the guide of the Shadow Society.

After Andy left, Aphra asked, "Cheng Yu, do you really want to join the Shadow Society? The Shadow Society is listed as a heretical organization in the Black Sun Empire."

"Join and try to see how they plan to assassinate the Holy Maiden of Light."

"You are so idle."

Afra was not from the Black Sun Empire, so she didn't ask any more questions and continued to stroll with Cheng Yu.

The two came to the door of a flower shop, which was filled with various flowers.

The owner of the flower shop was a bricklayer who could build a bread oven.

"Boss Locke, is Boss Locke home?"

Cheng Yu shouted into the flower shop.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a beard came out. He had eaten Cheng Yu's fried rice before, so he knew Cheng Yu.

"Cheng Yu? What do you want from me?"

"I want to build a large bread oven next to my manor."

"Large bread oven? How big should it be?" Locke asked.

"The kind that can bake hundreds of them at a time."

"I have built large ovens for bakeries in the main city before, but the price may be a bit expensive."

"How much?"

"Labor costs, material costs, probably five to ten gold coins in total."

"Then build one for me."

Cheng Yu now has thousands of gold coins, and five to ten gold coins are not a lot for him.
