Chapter 814: Doesn’t your conscience hurt (two chapters in one)

"It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun." Sitting side by side on the specially-made carriage, the female fox, no, Archbishop Judy of the Earth Mother, teased, "If it weren't for your project progress, not only would it not be delayed, it would even be completed ahead of schedule. Now, I have to suspect that your trip is just for fun."

"Oh, there is no contradiction between the two." Xiuer waved around with a holy smile, then hid in the carriage again, and then said with a smile, "It is rare to have the opportunity to travel around the entire known world. This year It would be too boring to spend all your time just working. Gee, if I don’t experience those civilized customs, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”

The carriage is very big, even if there are twenty people sitting in it, it will be spacious. In the middle of the carriage is a high platform with steps. When you climb on the high platform, you can lean half of your body through the skylight on the roof. At this time, Lisa and Delia Two girls are standing on a high platform to welcome this surprise from the Pavatiga.

In fact, although the priests who came to greet them didn't say anything, they just welcomed everyone into the carriage and said they would talk about it when they got back to the city if they wanted anything, but as soon as they saw the special shape of the carriage, Shuer had already guessed It's about time.

Sure enough, Lisa was startled as soon as the carriage drove out of the newly built airport. Similar to the atmosphere in Brown Star, the streets outside the airport were also full of festive atmosphere. The residents of Rose City stood in an orderly manner. On both sides of the street, people holding colorful flags with flowers were quietly waiting for the arrival of the carriage. As soon as they saw the carriage approaching, the people burst into violent cheers at the same time.Amidst the cheers, the carriage drove slowly through the crowd, and children kept breaking free from their parents' hands and running to the carriage, jumping and trying to give their favorite toys and candies as gifts to the people in the carriage.

Lisa is not unfamiliar with such rituals. In the beginning, whenever the warriors from the expedition returned home in triumph, the lords would organize the people to take to the streets and offer the most sincere tribute to the warriors who fought bravely for the city and territory. I am grateful that in peaceful times, although wars have become rare, this tradition has not disappeared. Once a team that has made great contributions to the territory and country returns to the city, they can still experience the enthusiasm of the people of the Rose City. .

If you think about it carefully, no one is more qualified to enjoy this treatment than Xiuer and his party. They are not just as simple as fighting the enemy bravely. The purpose of their trip is to protect countless lives and save the endangered lives. In the perishing world, the residents of the Rose City welcome the return of the heroes on behalf of all intelligent creatures in Parvatiga. Well, it couldn't be more appropriate.

But there is a premise, that is, the purpose of this trip is public. Otherwise, even if the Rose family wants to organize the people, it may not be that easy, let alone let them burst out their inner feelings.

"So... it has been made public?" Xiure opened the curtains a crack and peeked outside, "When did it start?"

"Something will happen if we keep this secret any longer." Opposite Seul, the old Bishop of Water, Olanna, said with a smile, "It was made public to the general public four months ago, otherwise you wouldn't have seen this. It’s such a grand occasion. Also, are you really not going to stand up together? Although I know your intention of pushing her out, it seems too deliberate for you to hide inside. "

"So I just went out and showed my face." Shuer shook his head indifferently, "This is good. It is the best choice for the church, Lisa, and me."

That's right, Shuer irresponsibly pushed Lisa and Delia out from the beginning, leaving the two girls to face the enthusiastic people.His reason is very good. This is the result of the Dark Moon Church and the Brown Star Civilization joining forces with the help of the gods. The Dark Moon Church and the Brown Star Civilization are qualified to accept this reward and should not refuse it either emotionally or rationally. Can't refuse either.The candidates to accept the reward are of course the two highest spiritual leaders representing both parties, so as to show enthusiastic respect for the people. If he were to come forward, it would appear that the Dark Moon Church is too arrogant, as if to express the enthusiasm of the other party. He is not worthy of being our spiritual leader and is only worthy of having someone of a lower level come forward.

It was a completely irrefutable reason. Although everyone knew that he just wanted to increase Lisa's prestige and reputation, and was lazy at the same time, no one could find an excuse to object, including Lisa. Therefore, although the girl really wanted her brother to do it, Enjoying this well-deserved honor, I had no choice but to pouted and reluctantly stepped onto the reviewing stand.

"If I'm not wrong, this should be a worldwide live broadcast, huh, then they should come forward. As for me... I'm no longer suitable." Shuer lowered the curtains and showed a smile to Lisa who was looking down. With an encouraging smile, he whispered, "Looking at your actions, the situation is not good. Has the abnormal change begun?"

"Well." Several archbishops who came to greet him were all in the carriage. No one was surprised by Seul's question. It was natural for him to see it. It would be surprising if he couldn't see it, but the answer to the question was obviously not that surprising. Everyone was happy, and several big shots frowned. Only Archbishop Augusta, the apostle of the Sun God Sur, twirled his beard and said softly, "The information you fed back from the dream is very effective and timely. After you leave, the pantheon will The oracles were sent to various forces, and the manpower outside the city began to be recalled. At the same time, the energy investment in the heart of the city was strengthened, and some over-expanded forces even gave up some of their outer territories."

"Tsk, tsk, I'm going to be scolded to death." Shuer shrugged, not looking like he was going to be scolded at all.

"Haha, in the first few months, there were indeed many high-level officials who were dissatisfied, especially those who had to shrink their territories. Some countries even agreed on the surface, but secretly delayed the time." Lin Jingmingni enjoyed Mo Rui's meal. Ya said while having fun brushing her fur, "Actually, we told them that it really doesn't matter to us what they do. They will be the ones who regret it then. Unfortunately, they don't believe it, so six months ago, their There has been a fundamental change in attitude.”

"Stupid." Shuer sneered, "If I guessed correctly, hehe, no one was lost, at most some property was lost."

"You guessed it right, no one died." Lady Minnie blinked narrowly and said meaningfully, "More than a dozen medium-sized towns were affected by the sudden outbreak of large rifts, and the residents of most towns have already evacuated. There was no impact, but two towns failed to evacuate in time due to delay, but by chance, two temple guard teams from the Night Sky Temple and the Forest Temple happened to pass nearby and rescued those two towns in time."

"What a coincidence." Xiure squinted his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Destiny is such a strange thing."

"What's even more coincidental is that a large rift broke out in their capital at the same time. Lord Augusta happened to be there at that time, urging the other party to implement the oracle as soon as possible, so when the rift broke out, Lord Sur's power was displayed. Yes, it saved the capital city. Oh, thank you for that. Otherwise, not only would they have to change the king, but they would also have to change the royal bloodline."

"Praise be to the Lord of the Sun, and praise be to the merciful fate."

coincide?Don't be kidding, how could Shuer believe that? The only possibility is that the pantheon of gods predicted the location of the rift in advance and sent a response team in advance. Even worse, they didn't know what method they used to induce the big rift to appear. There are three key explosions, but the maneuverability of the latter is too low and the danger is too high. Shuer estimates that it should be the first possibility. In this way, on the basis of not harming intelligent creatures, it can give those who secretly delay It was a warning to the forces, and at the same time it also raised the power of the pantheon's speech to a higher level.As for whose suggestion this was, Shuer was no longer ready to think about it. This method is probably something that everyone here can use. There is really no need...well, not everyone can do it. Let’s see. A certain little girl with shining silver, Shuer shook his head, sighed, shook his head again, and then was kicked.

"After that accident, there is no need for us to rush you." Lady Judy pretended not to see Xiure being beaten for no reason, and said nonchalantly, "All forces are actively shrinking to strengthen the defense of the heart of the city. Fortunately, their The response was timely, if it had been a little later, we would have been out of luck.”

"How many more outbreaks have there been?"

"Well, now there will be a large-scale multi-point outbreak in about a month or two, which is much more frequent than before, and the scope of influence is also larger. Of course, it is impossible to experience several large-scale outbreaks every day in your dream. Compared with the situation where the range exploded and even the gods had no time to deal with it in time, at least it is still within the controllable range." Judy's face was a little heavy, and her voice became low, "But even so, the past six months are still Several cities were affected, and although the cities were not completely destroyed, thousands of intelligent creatures died directly, after all, we are not always able to predict the time and location of the rift eruption."

You admit it, you have admitted it directly, Shuer curled his lips, but he didn't say anything, because he knew very well the mood of these high-level priests.As half-politicians, they have to do many things, but as priests, their love for believers is sincere. God loves the world, and so do they. When they see the suffering of mortal creatures, they will inevitably be immersed in it. In grief, as it is now.

"The rifts have erupted so frequently. Most people have already felt that something is wrong. More than one force has asked the pantheon of gods. Although the methods are explicit or covert, the problem is the same." Archbishop Olanna sighed and asked for Zhu Ti continued, "They want us to consult the Holy Spirits about abnormal situations. In fact, they just want to know what went wrong."

"No wonder..." Xiure nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you said something would happen if you kept hiding this."

Yes, Shuer also knows that this situation is really not suitable for hiding the truth anymore. If it only reaches the current level, then it can continue to be concealed. The problem is that the situation will continue to worsen and become more and more serious. If you wait until you really can’t hide it, Even waiting until the people themselves discover the problem before making it public will not only seriously affect the credibility of each church, but also directly shake the believers' belief in the gods. At that time, no matter what the gods say, mortals will still have questions in their hearts. , I won’t believe it unconditionally like now.

So the best way now is to selectively tell the truth, not to the top leaders of each country, but to all intelligent creatures, so that they know the crisis the world is facing now.

Theoretically, this is a very dangerous behavior. Although a common enemy may indeed make mortals more united, mortals are fragile. Once they know that the end is around the corner, they will not make any stupid move. People are surprised, so whether it is Shuer or other high-level priests, they tend to conceal the truth as much as possible. This is actually a protective measure for the mortals themselves.

However, now the leaders of the pantheon do not need to have these concerns. They can safely disclose the truth without worrying about the negative impact of the news of the doomsday, because...

"So I was pushed out and used as a target, right." Shuer rolled his eyes, leaned back in his chair and said dissatisfied, "Not only me, but also the Brown Star people were pushed out and used as a target."

Indeed, the senior officials are not worried about causing chaos. The Brown Stars and Shuer's fleet are their two biggest sources of support.

The existence of alien civilizations can greatly distract the attention of the people of Parvatiga. Look, the Great Rift is not that scary. These civilizations live in the Great Rift and even live better than us, so you You can rest assured, in the worst case we can all enter the Great Rift and become neighbors.Don't you believe it?It doesn't matter, we have strengthened the ties between the two parties and organized many exchange visits. You have all seen them with your own eyes. Look at their advanced technology, their comfortable and convenient equipment, and their beautiful tentacles. And the eyes... well, in short, your eyes will not lie to you. They are all civilizations that have experienced the end of the world. They will tell you personally that although the end of the world is dangerous, you can still survive.

If you think this is not enough, it doesn’t matter. There is also the advance team of Shuer. Really, what are you mortals worried about? Everything is under control. There is no loss of control at all. We have complete countermeasures and have sent out a large number of Manpower, be prepared to deal with it. Once prepared, all problems will be solved, so you just need to wait for their triumphant return with peace of mind.

It must be admitted that these two pieces of news can offset the impact of the end of the world to the greatest extent. No matter how pessimistic you are, I am afraid that after knowing these two things, you will not fall into despair. The problem is...

"Wouldn't it hurt your conscience to take advantage of a group of companions who are working hard outside and hide it from them?"

"will not."

"Our bodies and minds have long been dedicated to the Lord, well, including our conscience."

　It’s not good to break the chapter. Let’s merge the two chapters into one and let’s start the last big plot.
