A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Cloris and Walsh Calle stepped into the meeting hall. After Morshul and Qifa finished their discussion, other priests gradually entered the hall.

The goblin walked side by side with Cloris, neither daring to take a step ahead nor half a meter behind, neither wanting to appear too close nor too far away from Cloris.

Being an oil rat in the Charity House is completely different from being a [-]-year-old boy, and Walsh Culler was uneasy.

Uneasy in his heart, his face remained as usual, perhaps because of the leather case, Walsh Calle has long been used to acting, but he will show flaws in some small movements.

Moxiu first noticed the goblin's intentional or unintentional approach to the girl, and he said, "It seems that your cooperation has been very close during this time."

Walsh Kahler almost blew his hair, he thought Lei Fangshi's matter had been revealed!

"I exchanged a lot of experience with Priest Kahler. He used statistics in his research. During this time, we interviewed 520 believers and made targeted questionnaires for refugees and citizens. Please read it..." Ke Norris handed in a report laced with numerous fabrications.

"How does this help us to preach?" Moxiu glanced at it and asked.

"According to the scores of psychological questionnaires, we can briefly summarize believers into two intersecting modules, one is 'subjective initiative towards belief', which I divide into active, drifting and negative for the time being; the other is ' Potential belief piety', temporarily divided into fanatics, shallow believers, general believers, and interest swingers..."

Cloris spoke up.

As fanatics, positive and negative expressions are often inconsistent.The former is keen on pioneering, preaching, and suppressing dissidents. Once encountering setbacks, he will use all means to clear the obstacles; This does not mean that they are useless. Passive fanatics are patient and humble, and can domesticate many meek lambs.

As for shallow believers and general believers, Cloris added various benefit-oriented parameters in order to "guide" the priests to make the best use of them, so that believers can display their functions.

In addition, Cloris also made up a list of believers' needs. For example, most believers prioritize faith needs, 60.00% believers prioritize material needs, and there are miscellaneous achievement-oriented believers who only want to realize their self-worth. is reliable.

Moxiu glanced at the analysis reports on baptisms and material distribution, and the summary of the characteristics of refugees in different urban areas... To be honest, he couldn't understand these things, so he could only read the summary directly after the analysis—it was thriving, Full of good prospects.

He nodded, and cast affirmative glances at the girl and the goblin: "We not only study the knowledge of God, but also study the knowledge of man. You are all wandering down from the upper world. You are very talented. If you are lost The country is enough to manage a town or a small city-state in an orderly manner."

The lost kingdom.

The supreme ruins that humans have never penetrated so far, countless explorers have successively established strongholds, city-states and even countries on the edge of the ruins and the surrounding meteorite belt.

Cloris had a thoughtful look: Does this sentence mean that the basic board of the Holy Cult of Mercy is located around the Lost Kingdom?

She humbly bowed and prayed with a triangle: "Thank you for your praise."

Most of the priests gathered in the chamber, including monks, nuns and some guards.

Cloris counted slightly, and it was estimated that there could be 500 people, but there were only [-] real missionaries, including an unknown black-robed priest and a white-robed priest Paya.This is not counting the hapless priest who died in Screen Town, the white priest killed by Cloris, and the black priest killed by Veronica.

From this point of view, Cloris found that she had already lost [-] to [-]% of the core staff of the Charity House.

It was not Moxiu who spoke, but Qifa. The purple-clothed bishop looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "So far, there are more than two hundred spies around the Grace House. When you come, you will find out that those citizens in disguise are actually They are strong-bodied warriors, they are waiting, waiting for the Church of the Sun and the Duke's Mansion to bring those cumbersome machines over and burn our charity-giving homeland to the ground!"

The clergymen had expected it, but they still made noise. They thought that their missionary activities had aroused hostility from the Church of the Sun. A monk said angrily, "Heretics are deceiving people too much. We are willing to live and die with the Grace House!"

Most of them did not actually participate in any conspiracy. Whether it was instigating the Dilu family or reselling slaves in Pingfeng Town, the executors were either Qifa's direct descendants or higher-ranking priests.

Their idea is relatively simple, that is to use charity and sincerity to influence refugees and spread the glory of the Holy Father.

It's just that in practice, it is tens of millions of times more difficult than in their own land. Refugees die and die one after another. Most of the time, they can only squeeze out food and let the poor live for a day or two. Pray to the Father with peace of mind.

But I didn't expect that the Sun Church would come to attack them as long as it didn't save the world itself!It's full of evil!

Most of these people are devout believers who actively responded to the call of the Holy Church and "expeditionary" missions. Regardless of their abilities, their character and loyalty are guaranteed, and they are ready to be martyred at any time.

"The Church of the Sun cannot be allowed to do whatever it wants to us!"

"We're going to arm ourselves!"

"Use a fire stick to dry Luntia's ass (eye)!"

Well, these monks and priests come from all over the world, no matter how pious, there are huge differences in culture and character.

It can be seen from this that the history of the Holy Church of Mercy is still short, and it has not unified and trained the culture or upbringing of the dioceses in various places.

Cloris became more and more interested in the history of the Holy Cult of Mercy.

The girl didn't shout along with her. Her personality in Moxiu was a colony where her parents were high-level intellectuals. Although she looked dark and thin, her heart was white and pure, pure and gentle.

Qifa was very satisfied with the emotions of his colleagues. He shook his head and said: "We must ensure more vitality so that the Lord's gospel can spread among the world. Therefore, you must also understand that you are the shepherds and patriarchs of the world. Live on your own first."

If these people died, who would the Grace House rely on to preach?

The priests remained silent and calmed down after being excited. If possible, they did not want to die.

Qifa said again: "I didn't call you here to sacrifice for nothing, but to evacuate better..." He glanced at everyone, his expression suddenly darkened, "Luentia has already targeted We issued an arrest warrant, and he wants to confiscate Lei Fangshi, which is where Priest Pavaro was planted. I am very familiar with Pavaro, he is cautious and will not store such dangerous items in the warehouse, so I Suspect……"

Walsh Caller's heart skipped a beat, Chifa's voice thundered in his ears—

"The Court of Mercy, there is a duplicitous inner ghost!"

220. Qifa's doubts

Everyone, including Walsh Caller, looked different, and Cloris was calm and calm.

The girl's calmness attracted Qifa's attention, and he asked, "Miss Shaqima, do you not have any feelings about the inner ghost?"

An irresistible spiritual force enveloped the girl. Under Qifa's gaze, Cloris seemed to be unable to lie. She frowned slightly, and answered after thinking: "My lord bishop's suspicion should be a reminder to us. Really confirm whether there is an inner ghost. But this possibility has to be guarded against, if there is a inner ghost, then all the priests' residences outside will be exposed..."

Cloris shut her mouth at the right time, looking at Qifa with a slightly "surprised" gaze.

Qifa nodded. The girl is a student of Moxiu. It is enough to simply use skills to force her to "confess the truth". s face.

His first suspects were Cloris and Walsh Calle, followed by the delivery personnel and Pavaro's own internal problems.

Qifa asked the goblin: "Priest Kale, the day before Pavaro died, he personally brought me the news that you found apocrypha in his missionary area."

Walsh Kahler's heart was beating fast, and he simply showed an angry look: "Yes, those who spread apocryphal scriptures should be punished. They should be skinned and tortured. It is shameless and hateful to the extreme! It tampers with the teachings of the Bible. Now Judging from Pavaro's death, it should use this method to provoke the Church of the Sun's hostility towards us!" The goblin immediately suggested, "My lord, I propose to send someone to report the interests and interests of the Church of the Sun, and point out the nightmarish mischief. I believe that the Church of the Sun will also understand our contribution to the poor, and the misunderstanding can be eliminated!"

"Are you going?" Qifa asked playfully.

"It's my duty!" Walsh Kahler's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

In the end, Qifa shook his head: "The Church of the Sun can't tolerate sand in its eyes. These heretics have long wanted to eradicate us, but now it's just another excuse. If you go, you will die in vain."

Putting down his doubts, Qifa said to everyone again: "I will let you go to various places in the city that never sleeps through the secret road, and someone will arrange a new identity for you. Remember, don't trust anyone except your team members and single-line liaisons. people--"

At this moment, a strong sense of oppression was transmitted to Cloris's spiritual veins, and the crisis omen from the touch of the void was so strong for the second time. But when she saw that Moxiu and Qifa didn't react, she could only hold back.

The girl didn't think that the two of them couldn't sense the danger.

Cloris suddenly felt that the foundation of the castle was several meters high and slowly rising. The sculpture of the wishing angel in the meeting hall was lifelike, and every feather seemed to be softened, giving birth to an intoxicating dream.

The violent tremors were like an earthquake, and the sound of explosions was like the roar of a god, and the bright light gradually rose. At this moment, the city that never sleeps is as bright as day.

Three kilometers away, the captain of the knights beside Mestek asked his "Sun" knights to stop the test shooting. They looked at the castle that rose suddenly and then rose again. Leave any miscellaneous scars on the surface.

Mestek communicated with the knight commander: "Your Excellency Mines, the Grace House is next to the Aphra District and the Trade District, so it is inconvenient for us to use too much firepower..."

These two districts are the most prosperous areas in the city that never sleeps. Rich foreign businessmen and dignitaries in the city like to party, drink and discuss business here. Once this heart area is destroyed in the war, it will have a catastrophic impact on the city that never sleeps.

It doesn’t matter for Meestek, Mines also understands, so although the test firing was powerful, it was not wide-ranging, and even if it affected the people, they were all heretics who were benefited by the Grace House.

"Mage Tower..." Mines ordered to Mixtek, "I will have people evacuate the surrounding people, and you bring the 'heavy cavalry' to press it up and tear it down for me."

Meistek scolded his mother in his heart, but he still smiled.

"Mage Tower" is just a general term. Its essence is a building or even a building complex combined with magic technology. Different types of Mage Towers have made achievements in the fields of war and people's livelihood. They can be regarded as second-level substitutes for wonders, but far from The gap with the spectacle is very different, and there is no one contractor to take absolute leadership.At the same time, builders usually use spells to add multiple secret orders, and users can obtain corresponding permissions through secret orders.

In the land disputes in the upper realm, the strategic layout of the mage tower usually has another title: the war fortress.

Of course, the castle of the Court of Mercy is far from meeting the needs of the war in the upper realm, and it was not built for war itself, and it has only been quietly renovated for a few short years. Calling it a "mage tower" actually means raising its value.

However, the heavy cavalry of Maestec was not an elite force. They wanted to forcibly take down the castle, and the casualties they paid might destroy Luentia's accumulation of more than ten years.

Sixteen units of "Heavy Cavalry" four generations behind, Luentia paid enough to buy more than 100 "Scorching Suns" in the upper realm, how much money was cheated by the Church of the Sun and the Holy Manro Empire, Luentia Ah made up for it from the miracle grant.

Of course, the Church of the Sun probably also realized that Luntia should not be cut too hard, so they gave away more than 300 sets of semi-abandoned exoskeleton armor for free to arm the infantry.

This is Luntia's background, and now, the Knight Commander of the Church of the Sun wants his background to be used as cannon fodder.

In the Courtyard of Mercy, at the moment when the castle rose suddenly, Cloris felt an invisible barrier covering the building, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit.

She couldn't help but be thankful that she returned to the Charity House in time, otherwise she would have been blocked outside.

More than 70 of the clergy are direct descendants of Qifa. They must stay to preside over the operation of the mage tower. There are also more than 60 elite guards who must stay to resist the enemy's invasion of the castle. The remaining monks, nuns and guards are Divide into more than 30 groups, and evacuate from the secret passage in batches.

It is said to be a secret passage, but in fact, the lower part of the Charity Court is connected to the sewer system of the South Everbright City, which has been abandoned for 20 years.

Qifa is still wary of the possibility of ghosts, so he made the evacuation time interval of each batch 15 minutes, and there is no contact with each other. These people will hide in all walks of life and can only be carried out through the informants he left behind. One-way connection.

Cloris and Walsh Caller were placed at the bottom, which was just what she wanted, and the girl could calm down and observe each restless clergyman, seeing their nervousness, hatred, or frightened emotions.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Paiya, the only surviving priest, took out a water bottle from the suitcase and drank it. After she finished drinking, she prayed again and again, "My Lord in the kingdom of heaven, I am willing to go through the thorny test you arranged... "

Like an ostrich, he dared not listen to the explosion of light cannons that sounded from the outside world from time to time.

221. Variation

Prompted by curiosity, Cloris approached Paya, a gentle, fragile, and timid woman whose clothes were always disheveled with exaggerated manners, as if she had been picked up by the side of the road by a defiled person. Putting on a teaching robe, there is no demeanor of a priest.

Picking up the empty water bottle, the girl leaned over and asked, "Pastor Paya, are you thirsty?"

"Merciful Lord, you use fire to burn away our sins, and I am willing to go through the thorny test you set up," Paya prayed tremblingly as if she had never heard of it, "I should kneel and walk on the road leading to Tribulations in the Kingdom of Heaven..."

"Pastor Paya?"

"Holy Father!" Paya was startled by Cloris' raised voice, and she screamed, seeing that it was a student of Moxiu, she said, "Are you also here to pray with me? Kneel here Next, let me teach you."

"Aren't you going to help everyone retreat?"

"This is the test given to us by the Holy Father. As sinners, we should repent!"

"But you have to do something, otherwise how will you pass the test?"

"Kneel down with me, child," Paya said excitedly with enthusiasm in her eyes, "it is because we are sinful that we should pray for the forgiveness of the Holy Father. Insult, if the whip hits you, you should close your eyes and show the sincerity of your redemption to the Holy Father, don’t resist. Master Moxiu said that you are an excellent believer, come and pray with me, my Father in heaven, You gave us love and teaching in another way—"

Paya is crazy.

Cloris thought.

Then, the girl asked in a low voice: "But why did the Holy Father make you drink a huge amount of water? Don't you have any thoughts of drowning?"

Paya's heart trembled, his face twisted and changed repeatedly, and finally he prayed insanely: "If this is the punishment I deserve, please let my blood flow out the right path, and those victims should also be grateful. Refined and purified of the soul by the destiny you directed, Lord—"

"Paya," said Chifa, approaching, "take your sheep and evacuate."

Paya stood up tremblingly. She was obviously young and beautiful, but she looked like an aging and declining person. She did not object to Qifa's order, but whispered as she walked: "This is the road you have guided me, no matter what What kind of thorns does it have, please let me atone for my sins and lead to your kingdom..."

Curse...

Cloris made a guess, and for the time being she didn't care about this crazy priest.

The girl returned to her team led by Walsh Kahler, there were eight people besides her, two monks, a nun, and four guards with live ammunition. The soldiers are of the same type as those used by the Diru family, and they are quite powerful, but they are obviously not enough in front of the "heavy cavalry".

Cloris speculated that the Charity House should have heavier conventional firepower, and it was impossible to prepare only the high explosive Lei Fangshi.

This kind of fully armed team is capable of fighting some Transcendents with one to three mid-level and low-level skills. If they are equipped with a Sun Priest or a few boxes of enchanted ammunition with the characteristics of the Sun, Cloris can deal with it. It will also be a little difficult to get up.

The only nun in the team was Nevillet, the woman who was lurking in the dream after being hypnotized by Veronica.

The nun is 20 years old, because she was successfully selected by the Grace House when she was a girl, her diet and maintenance are better than those of ordinary people in the deep world.

Cloris kept staring at Nevillet. She didn't notice Veronica, so she wondered if the succubus was still hiding in the nun's dream.Or, Veronica has already occupied Nevillet's body, but she acted flawlessly without showing any flaws?

Nevillet is a sensitive person, for some reason, the girl's stare always makes her heart thump.

Cloris didn't know that thanks to the nun's inspiration, some of the subconscious left by Veronica in her dream was not cleaned up, but was absorbed and digested by Nevillet as a strange erotic dream.

Nevillet would not think of the extraordinary side, she just felt that she was accidentally infected with the desire of original sin, and had dirty thoughts about a young girl.

The castle trembled violently, the ground tilted, and the people in the hall turned on their backs. The nun's heels softened, and she was about to knock her head on the corner of the table when she saw it. Trembling, he leaned over and held Nevillet in his arms to stabilize his balance while preventing her from falling.

The nun was no more than four or five centimeters taller than Cloris, and her physique was inferior to that of an extraordinary person. She was supported by the girl so softly, and her face flushed suddenly.

Cloris was about to lift Nevillet up, but one of her wrists was held. The girl suddenly saw that the nun's face was no longer blushing, but she blinked provocatively and slyly.

She instantly understood the meaning in that look.

Here comes Veronica.

Cloris loosened her hands recklessly, trying to put the nun down, but the castle swayed, and she was pulled by the weight of the nun's body. In the end, it was self-defeating, and they rolled several times together on the sloping floor.

Qifa seemed to be rooted in the ground, without moving at all, his face remained unchanged, and he ordered: "Furman, Ogier, Varanda, take your team and retreat according to the designated route."

In addition to retreating, they will also take away some important supplies, documents, equipment and scriptures.

Outside the castle, Meisterk has been repelled twice, and the tall castle has finally surfaced, revealing its hideousness——

The towering Gothic building is majestic and shadowy, and its imposing manner reaching into the sky seems to attract the wind from the sky. From each of its spires, faint chants can be heard, and dense transparent insect eggs like algae emerge from the cracks between the bricks and stones. The egg nucleus symbolizes a gorgeous dream, from which thousands of petals gather magnificent long wings stretched out from the shattering sound, which attracts the sight of everyone within a few miles, making people unable to help but fall into a deep sleep and pursue the direction it guides. Dreamland.

Below the tens of thousands of petal wings, there are sticky skeletons that carry the air. Those skeletons seem real and illusory, like dead souls sleeping here long ago, and like newborn desires carrying the weight of the sky.
