Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

The Holy City of Fiery Sun at the foot of the Holy Mountain of Fiery Sun is a very regular and open city. It has no city walls, no suburban and urban divisions, and no planning that a "city" should have.

And since this is a purely religious area, it is not "modern" enough.

The city is made up of low houses, most of which are only one story high, and some independent large buildings with special purposes, which are piled up in a mess like a pile of disrupted building blocks.

To be honest, Ye He’s first impression of the Holy City of Lieyang was not good. If he was a simple investor, he might not inject funds into such an “unstable” city.

But after entering the city, Ye He saw people with a strong sense of happiness everywhere on the streets, which changed his impression of the Holy City of Lieyang.

At least these healthy people are satisfied both physically and mentally, are full of energy, and live and work in peace and contentment.

But it was obvious that this city could not provide enough jobs for so many believers. As soon as Ye He got off the train, he saw some young people sitting on the streets doing nothing.

The Church of the Fiery Sun simply used the method of robbing Peter to pay Paul and recycled resources from other dioceses to forcibly provide such a "utopia".

"How does it feel?"

Lux appeared beside Ye He at some point, and walked with him along the street towards the pilgrimage route to the holy mountain deep in the city.

“God’s grace has been interpreted a second time, which is good.”

Ye He's reply made Lux look at him immediately.

She thought she knew this man fairly well, but she never expected that Ye He could give such an insightful description.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

"No, you're right."

Lux looked at the believers in the Holy Sun City again. Every time she saw their lazy yet contented lifestyle, she couldn't help but frown.

"They were drowning in the artificially created sense of happiness, confusing the 'grace' of the Church with the 'grace' of the gods... Stupid, but happy."

“But happiness is artificial, isn’t it?

Haha, I understand what you mean. You think Lieyang is heading down the wrong path, right?

The Holy See has bestowed so many favors on these people that it has even allowed them to thrive in an extremely peaceful and affluent environment.

This is a good thing, but people who have lost their ambition will only become lazier and lazier from generation to generation, gradually turning into parasites who can't create any value except "prayer" and "gratitude".

What, you want to change this situation? It seems that you still like the Blazing Sun Church. "

As soon as they met, Ye He revealed her secrets, and Lux ​​felt terrible.

Lux couldn't understand why this dangerous man suddenly became so wise.

He had just arrived in the Holy City and got off the train. He hadn't even come into contact with those facts that were evolving in the direction he said, but he had already analyzed the future of this city in detail.

"Because I have seen it."

Ye He smiled at Lux.

He was a mercenary in his previous life, and the place where mercenaries are most active is Continent A, which is home to many countries that have fallen into the abyss due to excessive material abundance.

That piece of fertile land will definitely produce fruits even if you just sow the seeds and leave it there without any more care.

The stones buried under the soil are regarded as precious treasures by the "civilized world". The sticky black oil is the most in-demand energy in the world. Even some mud is a mineral called "precious soil"...

As a result, the indigenous people lost their ambition, and were eventually either enslaved or annexed, becoming "primitive people" sitting on a mountain of treasure.

Of course, the situation here in the Holy City of Fiery Sun is relatively simple. It is just that the "gift from God and the Church" has impacted the believers' ambition.

Seeing Ye He's relaxed expression, Lux thought for a moment and simply asked him directly:
"Can you change this situation?"

"Of course, and a lot, but it's too late."

As he said this, Ye He deliberately glanced towards the towering holy mountain at the end of the holy city.

He wanted to know how far Lux had gone in her investigation into their church.

"Is that so? Okay."

Lux didn't reveal too much of her expression to Ye He. She lowered her head, letting the hood on her head completely cover her face.

Avoiding a group of passing Sun Knights was only one aspect. She needed to think and make up her mind.

"grown ups."

Yehe was a little slower than Jenada and others who caught up from behind. When Yehe turned around to look at them, Lux had already dived into the crowd and disappeared.

"Who were you traveling with?"

Hera stepped forward and took Ye He's arm, looking around with curiosity.

She seemed to have seen a familiar figure beside Ye He just now, but that figure had disappeared.

"And your daughter. She must be under house arrest by the Vatican. She can only sneak out to see me."

Ye He was too lazy to lie, and there was no need to, so he just told Hera about his encounter with Lux.

Facing Hera's surprised gaze, Ye He smiled and said to himself:
“It seems… he hasn’t gathered enough candidates yet… It doesn’t matter, it’s none of my business.

Jenada, will you take me up there directly? Or do we need to wait for further notice?"

"Forehead……"

Jenada explained to Ye He awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Lord Ye He, the clergyman who was supposed to pick you up didn't show up for some reason. I... I'll take you to the Holy City first, and then I'll quickly contact the Holy Mountain."

"Ah……"

Ye He gave Jenada a playful smile, shook his head, and explained to Jenada:
"This is already your territory. If no one comes, no one will come. Congratulations, you should be unemployed."

"Unemployment... you mean..."

Both Jenada and "Number Four" were shocked by Ye He's words.

She is the Grand Archon of the Fiery Sun Church. Although she is ostracized, she is indeed the direct thug of the Fiery Sun Pope and belongs to the top class of the church.

When Ye He said about unemployment, did he mean that Jenata had been abandoned by the Pope?
Why? Why?
"Who knows? It can't be that you didn't bring Elizabeth back, right?"

Ye He told Jenata the reason with a rhetorical question in a malicious way, causing Jenata's face to gradually lose color.

Only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem.

Because the wording in the assigned mission instructions was not strong enough, after encountering the incident with Ye He, Jenada took it upon herself to postpone the mission of "bringing back the Afternoon Saint" indefinitely.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap."

A sound of orderly footsteps came from the end of the road.

With two teams of Fiery Sun Knights leading the way, two teams of Fiery Sun Knights escorting, and two teams of Fiery Sun Knights guarding the rear, this team quickly ran towards Ye He.

The surrounding believers quickly gave way to this team, and many of them even knelt down and worshiped these "ordinary" Sun Knights.

For a moment, the footsteps and the prayers mixed together, making it hard to tell which one should fall into the dust and which one should fly into the sky. These Fiery Sun Knights were not here to cause trouble for Ye He, because they were not numerous enough. On the contrary, they were a welcoming team to welcome Ye He, the investor.

They came to the last three meters in front of Ye He and stopped, then moved to the left and right to clear the street.

An old Bishop of Lieyang with a kind face also got off the carriage and appeared in front of everyone.

"Dargon!"

Jenada immediately recognized the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and an angry expression appeared on her face.

Even if they wanted to steal the credit, it should be the cardinal of the Faceless Man who should be fighting with her, right? How could it be Dargon's turn?
Dargon glanced at Jenada first, then saluted Yehe and welcomed him with full energy:

"Welcome to the Holy Land of the Fiery Sun! Distinguished guest!"

Without waiting for Ye He's reply, he immediately looked up and said to Ye He:

"But please wait for a moment, my dear guest. We still have some "housekeeping" to take care of here."

Ye He shrugged and said that he didn't care about the old bishop who was like a fox.

Then Dargon looked at Jenada and announced loudly to her:
"Jennada, as the Grand Archon, you haven't even completed the mission to bring back the Saint of Afternoon. His Holiness the Pope has ordered that your position as Grand Archon be temporarily revoked!"

"..."

Jenada opened her mouth, unable to utter a word.

Ye He was actually right!
She was actually abandoned by the Pope of the Fiery Sun just because of such an insignificant "little thing".

Not enough people...

Some of the fragments that Ye He mentioned when he was talking to himself were connected together in Jenada's mind.

She finally understood that what the Pope needed were a few saints!
He wants to "use" a few saints! This matter may be directly related to the Vatican's nation-building cause!
but……

Jenada felt aggrieved. She knew less than Ye He, a pure "outsider". Even if the Pope had only mentioned it a little more and asked her to bring Elizabeth back, she would not have...

and many more!

Isn't Elizabeth...his granddaughter?

What does he want these saints for?
If he wanted the lives of these saints...

Jenata suddenly figured it out. Well, it turns out that the Pope was so "light" when he gave her the task because his ultimate goal was to prevent Jenata from bringing Elizabeth back!

Also, according to the "unlimited time" requirement of this mission, the Pope's true intention should be that it would be best for him to stay in Cedarville and protect Elizabeth!

As for Krent’s girlfriend…now it seems that the oracle spoken “personally” by the God of the Fiery Sun has also begun to become meaningful.

"Well, Mr. Ye He, the Pope was supposed to hold a banquet for you tonight, but he happened to be ill recently, so I have to receive you. The banquet has been postponed to the day after tomorrow. I hope you don't feel neglected."

Dargon ignored Jenada's surprise and turned back to tell Yehe about the arrangements for him.

"The day after tomorrow? Then please come to see me at the biggest hotel in this city the day after tomorrow. You should be very busy, so please go and do your thing."

But Ye He did not appreciate it. His original intention of this trip was to sign a formal investment agreement with the Lieyang Church.

As soon as the agreement is passed, Lieyang can use it to ask the central bank of the Laurent Empire for Yehe's money.

However, what Ye He discovered along the way was so intriguing that he had already given up on "real investment" and was only interested in having fun.

Dagon immediately showed embarrassment on his face, and Yehe immediately took out a cleaner.

All the Fiery Sun Knights looked towards Ye He in unison, staring at the Cleaner in Ye He's hand in great astonishment.

The believers who were kneeling on the ground felt that their worship was enough, and immediately stood up and walked away from the street.

"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye He, what are you doing..."

Although he was less than half a meter away from the terrible explosion, Dargun still used his extremely advanced Qi-cultivation skills to forcibly control his fear.

"Don't worry, I'm not a good person. I take good care of myself."

Yehe smiled at Dagon, stuffed the cleaner into a specially made gun with a very long and large barrel, and loaded it with a "click".

"you……"

Dargon hesitated.

"roll."

Ye He smiled.

"Yes."

Dargun, who had made up his mind not to see Yehe again, turned around and left, rushing into the carriage he was sitting in with a brisk pace.

The carriage turned around immediately, and the Fiery Sun Knights also changed their formation, escorting the carriage away quickly.

"grown ups……"

Jenada looked at the special firearm in Yehe's hand with some curiosity. She saw that Yehe was going to shoot out the terrible explosive inside.

But... why? And where are you going to shoot it?
"say hi."

Ye He shrugged at Jenada again, then raised his gun, raised the muzzle and aimed at the top of the Holy Mountain, and fired!

"Tum~"

The Cleaner shot out from the muzzle of the gun and shot high towards the top of the Holy Mountain. Of course, it was impossible for it to hit the top of the mountain after traveling dozens of kilometers.

But when it fell, it landed right in the center of the Holy City of Fiery Sun!

Jenada and the others widened their eyes at once, watching the explosive collapse at the highest point and then begin to fall towards the center of the holy city.

Dagon, who had walked not far, stuck his head out of the car window and stared at the explosive with bloodshot eyes along with the other Sun Knights in the team!
Is Ye He crazy?
He wants to blow up the holy city?

"Snapped."

A slender figure appeared out of nowhere, standing in mid-air, and caught the cleaner with one hand.

This is a squinty-eyed girl with a sweet and warm smile. She has the bright golden hair that only saints have. The light yellow dress she wears also exudes a soft warmth like the midday sun in winter.

More than ten kilometers away, the girl seemed to meet Ye He's eyes, and her smile became warmer and more passionate.

Ye He also smiled at her, then remotely detonated the Cleaner in her hand.

"boom!!!……"

The suddenly spreading blazing flames had just expanded to several hundred meters when they quickly shrank back to the size when they had just erupted, and were then extinguished by a hand wearing scarlet armor.
