Arcane Linguist

Chapter 227 The Selfishness of Archbishop Pana
"I've heard of Roland.

It seems to be a rising star in the arcane world! "

Archbishop Pana asked, and someone immediately listened to him and explained in detail the information that could be found.

But at this time, someone said: "Archbishop, this person's thinking is very dangerous, he is not a non-religious friend who worships gods and respects faith!"

"Bishop Mehad, why do you say that?" Archbishop Pana asked.

The person who spoke just now came out.

This is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with neat and orderly short hair, wearing a traditional white and red-striped religious gown, with a calm demeanor.

He said solemnly: "I don't know if you have read "The Romance of Seris" written by him? This person disrespects the gods in the myths and legends he compiled!"

"Are you referring to the stories about Dayu controlling the floods and Hou Yi shooting the sun?" Archbishop Pana said.

"Exactly." Mehad said frantically, "Since ancient times, gods have ruled the world, and ordinary people have always obeyed them, but the Siris nation he constructed actually regards the golden crow that radiates light and heat as an enemy and shoots at it." kill!

This is an insult to my Lord! "

Archbishop Pana couldn't help being speechless for a while, before saying: "You are overthinking."

Mehad said earnestly: "Everyone knows that my Lord, the Lord of Radiance, also known as the God of Light, often takes the sun as his incarnation, so the holy emblem is a pattern of the sun that emits light and heat.

This has to make people suspicious, there is an insinuation..."

The crowd was in an uproar, discussing in private.

Speaking of which, this matter is already a public case.

Since Roland became famous, all parties have paid attention to his thoughts and orientation.

The concept of religious belief is naturally also an object of study.

Some of the things he showed through the Siris school are so unique in this universe that all parties are a little uncertain.

Archbishop Pana sighed slightly, and said, "Mehad, you don't have to be so hostile to him, my lord has also taught us that good people don't care about their deeds, and sinners don't care about their deeds.

This person has already achieved success and fame at a young age, and it is inevitable to be arrogant and uninhibited, but it is precisely because of this that we have to warm and influence him with the grace and love of the gods.

If I can get this person to join the church, I am willing to baptize him personally. "

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Mehad frowned even more: "Your Excellency the Archbishop."

He hesitated to speak, and looked a little unwilling.

Seeing him like this, Archbishop Pana couldn't help but secretly sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Mehad, I have no doubts about your devotion to God and the Church.

The gods are high and shining forever, but we who spread His holy light are ordinary people living in this mortal world.

And in the major planes, apart from my lord, there are other gods with powerful divine powers.

There is competition on all fronts.

A person with huge social influence and fame like Roland is undoubtedly a very valuable target.

If he can be lured into the church, baptized, and become a believer, it will be the key to the development of the diocese.

How could such a high-quality talent be hostile before he did something that would substantially damage the church? "

Although he was old, his mind was still clear, and what he said left Mahad speechless.

What Archbishop Pana didn't say is that if you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive Chai Mi is.

Mahad and the others had no idea how much it would cost to preside over a large diocese.

What is the use of enthusiasm alone?

Enthusiasm, can change the status quo that the church is difficult to spread in the world of Arterine and Rainer, can it promote the diocese, let everyone present be promoted to archbishop, promote itself to the red clothes, and even the pope?
There has long been a contradiction between reformers and conservatives in the religious world. In a place like Atrein where mages occupy the mainstream, if you don't want to innovate, you have to innovate!
……

Not long after, in the inner church of the church, in Archbishop Pana's private rest room, close aides came to report to him the news of everyone's departure and their respective work arrangements.

It is rare that Alteraine is willing to open up such a world for them to preach, and it is their duty as believers to spread the Holy Light to every corner as soon as possible.

Although Archbishop Pana is getting old, he is still pursuing it tirelessly.

"Mahad has also gone back, and there are many regrets in the words." A close friend reported.

When Archbishop Pana heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head: "This Mahad is not flexible enough. I was very optimistic about him."

When the confidant heard this, he was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, he nodded as if realizing something: "May the holy light shine on his mind and enlighten him with wisdom."

"Okay, let's leave him alone, is the itinerary ready?" Archbishop Pana said.

"Ready, ready to go, if you like."

At this moment, the confidant pastor received a message from the "messaging technique", and he couldn't help being slightly startled, and immediately whispered in the ear of Archbishop Pana: "Your Excellency, I just heard that Roland published a The novel is called "Feng Shen Yan Yi"...

It's about conferring gods! "

When ordinary people hear this, they will read it as an ordinary novel.

But for them, church people, it's a serious topic.

Archbishop Pana straightened his expression and ordered: "Find it out, I'll take a look."

"Okay, please wait a moment..." The confidant immediately cast the "Screen Casting Technique" and connected to the official website of the Seris School with the help of the link established by the Atlantean mage.

Archbishop Pana leaned forward tremblingly and began to read.

Then, he fell into deep thought.

"The archbishop?" the confidant asked cautiously.

His Excellency the archbishop looked old and half-lying there with half-closed eyes, which really made people worry for no reason.

Archbishop Pana suddenly opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his cloudy pupils.

"Roland also donated a lot of gold coins to the church before, and his sincerity can be shown. In order to thank this non-church friend, I decided to pay a visit in person and take a look."

The confidant stared, showing an expression of disbelief.

"Then... what about those itineraries that were arranged before?"

"Postponed everything."

"Okay." The confidant said quickly, but after checking the magic net, he said depressedly, "The teleportation array over the East Lena Mage Tower needs to be connected. Your Excellency Roland is also a busy person, and you need to make an appointment..."

Originally, Archbishop Pana was noble enough and highly respected. It was an honor to meet a young man, but he did not expect that the opposite party was only in his early 20s, and he was promoted to a high-ranking mage and an alternate member.

That's not something outsiders can see at will.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that His Excellency the Archbishop thought of communicating with him.

Archbishop Pana said decisively: "Then make an appointment. I will take a good rest and prepare in the past few days."

……

The fact that Archbishop Pana wanted to meet Roland quickly spread throughout the Church of Light in Leiner's world.

The believers of the Lord of Radiance were shocked when they learned about it.

Mehad, who had just been criticized before, was even more unbelievable.

How could Archbishop Pana think of meeting him?

"My lord, I seem to understand. Roland recently published a novel "Fengshen Yanyi". Look..."

There are also well-informed people under Mehad's men, who will help to find out.

""Feng Shen Yan Yi"? Let me see..." Mahad said.

After reading it, I was shocked and angry.

"It actually preaches that the gods are canonized by people!"

Inside the church, there was also an uproar.

Houyi shoots the sun, Jingwei fills the sea, Kuafu chases the sun...

Now he even managed to create a Conferred God!
What kind of school is this... this Siris school?
Why are you so arrogant?
Roland has a problem with his mind!
Absolutely wrong!
If it were any other conservative religious country, the Holy See would be outraged by now and start a war against the blasphemers. However, within the territory ruled by Atrein, this is called academic opinion and personal belief.

Mehad also knew this, so he had to publish an article on the magic net instead.

"Severely criticize Mr. Roland's wrong thinking! "Feng Shen Yan Yi" is extremely absurd!"

As Atlantes, although the clergy are not the mainstream force in society, they still have a certain influence.

The Church of the Seven Gods is the seven orthodox forces recognized by Alteraine.

Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone in the arcane world retorted.

Mother Earth, Goddess of Wealth, God of Wisdom, God of Sea, and Goddess of Luck each teach melons.

The Church of the God of War was an unexpected support.

They believe that what "Fengshen Yanyi" worships is the way for heroes to become gods.

This coincides with some of their concepts.

People from all parties joined in the fun and made some comments on it, with different opinions and endless noise.

This is the magic net culture unique to Altera Rhine.

"This Mehad, why did you publish the article without authorization!"

In the Reina Cathedral, Archbishop Pana, who was still preparing to meet with Roland, couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Send me a message, withdraw the manuscript, withdraw it quickly!"

A subordinate who is too upright is really not suitable to be a bishop!

Mahad's unauthorized actions have somewhat affected his original plan.

However, Archbishop Pana obviously underestimated Roland.

Although Roland also saw Mehad's article, he didn't take it seriously at all.

What he paid attention to was the statement of Archbishop Pana himself.

"Master, the patriarch of the Reina diocese seems to be very interested in you and your arcane achievements. Before you invented the "dream technique", Mr. Rick mentioned that this spell can be adapted into a prayer The spell that wishes to obtain items, applied in the field of religion, is a "gift from the gods". "

"I remembered that Mr. Rick did suggest that we cooperate with the Church of the Gods. How is this matter going?"

"I just learned about it, and it is in full swing.

This kind of transformation of arcane arts into divine arts is not uncommon in history, and there is also a transformation of divine arts into arcane arts..."

In Terry City, in the suburban villa, Roland had already got off work and was talking with his succubus partner, Al.

Recalling some things in the past, he looked them up with great interest.

It turns out that this project is already in full swing.

Its main market lies in places where magic is relatively backward, but religious forces are strong.

Because the "dream technique" originally included divine power, this kind of magic transformation also went very smoothly, and even the magic development of the Siris School received certain benefits.

However, Roland was more interested in Archbishop Pana's intentions than the matter itself.

He had a vague feeling that the archbishop's purpose didn't seem so simple.

"In a few days, he should come over from the teleportation array to meet with me, and then you can avoid it.

You, the succubus of the Silvermoon Church, are an evil thing that the light hates. "

Roland made arrangements with a smile.

Al snorted coquettishly, but accepted it very tactfully.

Now is a modern society with advanced arcane arts, and all camps and forces have found a way to get along.

Speaking of which, even the money donated to the Guangming Church was remitted by her own hands.

This was unimaginable in ancient times.

……

A few days later, the time came to February 4th.

It was a day chosen by the Archbishop of Pana, and the sky was clear and sunny.

Accompanied by reporters from the Daily Savalin and church staff, the two sides held talks in the West Mountain Manor.

During the period, Archbishop Pana publicly stated that he would donate some books needed by the editing committee, and send literate pastors and preachers in the church to assist in editing.

For a long time, among the clergy of the church, there is no lack of full-time study, talents with high levels of literature, art, and even magic.

After all, it is impossible to accept the support of believers, not to produce, but also to read the classics and educate the believers without mastering certain knowledge and cultural talents.

In the past history of Blue Star's Siris, there were no shortage of such "Western Confucianism" as representatives of missionaries who traveled across the ocean.

Some of them steal Chinese culture and bring it back to change their appearance. That's true.

But Roland doesn't care whether the historical and cultural heritage of Reiner's world will be stolen.

The main force of this matter is still in the group of mages, or in the intellectuals themselves in the Reiner world.

With him personally watching, when the "Leiner Canon" is completed, there will be no weird phenomena such as the content being torn up.

However, after the high-sounding public meeting, the private meeting was held again, but Roland realized that he had miscalculated the other party's intention.

The archbishop asked with great interest as soon as he drove away the crowd: "Your Excellency Roland, you can make phantom magic cards, but you have mastered the mystery of 'Legendary Biography'?"

"Huh?" Roland was slightly surprised.

"Don't be surprised, in my church, there have also been pastors whose names have lived on forever, and who have been consecrated and manifested!
That's how the so-and-so priests, saintesses, and believers in the phantom magic cards came about.

This kind of thing has even been recognized by my lord, allowing the Card Association to publish some corresponding card sets. "

"His Majesty the Lord of Radiance is enlightened, and he actively contacts and embraces the secular gods. I have heard this for a long time." Roland nodded.

"After all, the light must shine on the earth, so it can't be closed." Archbishop Pana said with a smile, "I wonder if your Excellency...can you write a biography for me?"
