Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Hera and the others will be obedient and will not easily leave the hotel and cause trouble for Yehe.

This is the Holy City of Lieyang, a place where many hidden dragons and crouching tigers are.

The appearance of Saint Gwen of Noon has already demonstrated the "danger" here.

It was much more convenient for Ye He to act alone. Under Caesar's wide-area surveillance, he successfully bypassed the hundreds of "eyes" that were monitoring the hotel openly or secretly, and came to the normal territory of the Holy City of Lieyang alone.

Just as he thought, among the followers of the Fiery Sun all over the streets, most of them were those who did not work and were idle.

The abundant daily necessities ensured their survival, but also fostered their decadent nature, making them lose their ambition to make progress and indulge in a sense of happiness that they themselves could not explain.

Lux's worries were not wrong. The Church of the Fiery Sun was now at its peak and could afford to support them.

But once the church becomes unsustainable, the reduction in material supplies causes their quality of life to decline.

Many problems and contradictions hidden beneath this meaningless false happiness will be exposed in a fatal way.

The church can’t suppress its most “devout” believers, right?

"Heh... this is how chaos is born..."

Ye He pulled the hood made of Camelot and full of silver metallic luster on his head, smiled and continued to walk forward.

He came out this time to see if it was possible to sneak into the Holy Mountain, attack Huanglong directly, and take a look at the extent of the chaos in this city.

As he approached the holy mountain, Yeh passed by several rather quaint communities.

Different races from different countries each have their own settlements in this city. This ethnic segregation, which is even worse than that of Sedawell, is also one of the nutrients that breeds chaos.

He soon confirmed his idea when he saw two groups of people fighting over the use of an alley between two communities.

"All you lowly Aturu people do is throw garbage into this alley! And poop everywhere! For God's sake, can't you build yourselves two toilets?"

Some believers who were at least neatly dressed were condemning another group of believers who smelled bad and had dark yellow and black skin.

"Bullshit! It's written in the great doctrine of the scorching sun: everyone is free under the scorching sun!
We are not as rebellious as you Dilis people, who have to hide and shit in dark and smelly little houses, which is so shameful!"

However, there were also believers on this side who were good at speaking. Their counterattacks, based on quotations from scriptures and twisted logic, shocked the people on the other side.

Differences in knowledge, culture, and even the level of civilization can easily lead to conflicts among believers from different regions.

To put it bluntly, the Doctrine of the Fiery Sun is just a doctrine. It lacks clear legal restrictions and guidance, and believers can understand and interpret it however they want.

The Holy City of Fiery Sun is a city that is already on the path to distortion. It has no unified legal system but accepts believers from different regions without restriction.

The conflicts and frictions caused by these believers living together would be enough to destroy this city sooner or later.

Jianguo?

Ah!
As long as no one comes out to interpret the doctrine and establish binding rules such as community conventions or city conventions, this contradiction will not change due to changes in the overall environment.

The current squeeze of these contradictions will only lead to serious racial discrimination among people and accumulate more pressure.

unless……

Ye He looked back at the street corner and saw a figure in a dress leading a team of fully armed Sun Knights, running towards the believers whose confrontation was intensifying.

When the two groups of believers had begun to push and curse at each other, Gwen waved at them, and the Sun Knights she brought with her rushed forward and separated the two groups with their bodies.

"Under the scorching sun, people should live freely and peacefully, without any trace of darkness."

The gentle and virtuous Saint Lady [Noon] read out the doctrine while asking both parties at the same time:
"Whatever your needs are, you shouldn't argue in this way. Please tell me. I will be responsible for your freedom and peace!"

Oh?
Gwen's declaration made Ye He raise an eyebrow. She was in charge?
“It’s meaningless.”

Lux quietly moved to Ye He's side and leaned her shoulder against the wall at the entrance of the alley where they were.

She looked at Gwen with a contemptuous look and said to Ye He:
"The freedom and peace these people are pursuing are meaningless. Just look and see if you don't believe me."

"Freedom... is really a word that has nothing to do with the church, haha."

Ye He mocked Lux ​​with his own understanding, and then looked towards Gwen with her.

The appearance of this saint lady successfully controlled the situation. Of course, Ye He could see at a glance that many believers were just afraid of the sword of the Sun Knight.

Towards Gwen... these people revealed a very complex feeling, some admiration, some respect, some contempt, some... ill intentions? Oh, how interesting.

Thinking of the happy things, Ye He smiled even more brightly.

After the believers explained their requests to Gwen, an embarrassment expression immediately appeared on Gwen's face.

Gwen built public toilets for the uncivilized Aturu people in their communities, but they were too "lazy" to use them.

This unspeakable depravity has cultural reasons, but to put it bluntly, it is still due to lack of education.

And Gwen's way of dealing with these uneducated Aturu people is...

"In the name of the Holy Lady of the Blazing Sun, you will be given a larger community, where there will be an open-air washroom built for you by the church."

what!
Ye He almost laughed out loud, while Lux had a blank expression on her face.

The Dilis people were stunned. This group of dirty and backward Aturu people actually got a bigger and better living environment just because of their own inferiority?

The people of Aturu went back to pack up their things in great joy.

Seeing them singing and dancing excitedly and praising Lieyang non-stop, maybe they will "relax" at the doorstep before leaving.

"It's stupid, right? Haha..."

Lux looked back at Ye He helplessly. She frowned deeply, as if thinking about how she would deal with this problem if she encountered it.

But in the end, the solution she could come up with was similar to Gwen's.

First of all, the Fiery Sun Church cannot use violence against these believers, and there are no laws and regulations to restrain these believers.

Secondly, letting these Aturu people leave and giving them a living environment that is more suitable for their level of civilization is the "only city rule" that the Holy City of Lieyang has promoted since its establishment.

Doing so not only solves the needs of the Aturu believers, but also purifies the community environment of the Dilis believers. It seems... there is no better way to have the best of both worlds.

“Hehehe… Hehehehe…”

Ye He deliberately just smiled and didn't say anything. His smile was extremely sarcastic, and revealed an undisguised arrogance, as if he regarded Lux ​​in front of him as one of those uncivilized Aturu people.

Lux felt uncomfortable because of Ye He's smile. She knew that this man had a better solution, but she didn't know how to ask.

Now she didn't have the status to ask Ye He for an answer, and even if she got a solution, she couldn't implement it. At this time, Gwen, who had resolved the conflict here, turned around and quickly noticed the two guys hiding at the entrance of the alley.

She glanced at Ye He and Lux ​​slightly, causing both Ye He and Lux ​​to look in her direction.

But neither of them chose to leave. They just stood there and watched Gwen approach them step by step.

Ye He was proud of his status. Unless Gwen had not stopped his Cleanser just now, he would still be Lieyang's "distinguished guest".

But Lux had other plans.

Gwen, who came to the two of them, turned to Lux and said to her:
"Chenxi, the Pope ordered you to reflect on your actions on the Holy Mountain. Why did you sneak down?"

"Sister Noon, this man has the solution to all the problems in this city."

Lux skipped the nonsense Gwen was saying and pointed directly at Ye He and told Gwen.

Only then did Gwen take a formal look at Ye He. Ye He didn't even take off his hood. He leaned back with his shoulders against the wall, his hands in his pockets, and his whole body was full of a nonchalant temperament.

Such a Ye He made Gwen pinch her fingers gently, as if she was still feeling the high temperature when the cleaner exploded.

She looked down on Ye He, an extremely dangerous person, from the bottom of her heart. However, as the church needed help, she decided to pretend that she couldn't see him. However, Ye He brought himself to her.

As for Ye He's "solution", Gwen didn't take it seriously.

It is an honor for the priest of Moonlight to stand on the land of the Holy City of the Fiery Sun.

As the Saint of the Sun, Gwen couldn't bring herself to ask this dangerous pagan for advice.

But facing Lux's expectant and pleading gaze, Gwen began to hesitate again.

Lux and Nyx are recognized as the two "smart people" among the saints. Even she hopes to ask Ye He for a solution...

After thinking about it, Gwen still showed Ye He a "gentle" smile and asked Ye He:

"Dear guest, do you have any opinion on the way I handled it?"

"No, of course not. How can I interfere in your Lieyang affairs?"

Not only did Ye He not follow Zheng Yumei's wishes, he also gave her an extremely sarcastic smile, like a bad guy with a bad taste who just wanted to see others make a fool of themselves.

Gwen was so angry at Ye He that she almost couldn't keep her smile. Fortunately, Lux came to her rescue and said to Ye He:

"Ye He, how about one answer for another?"

The premise of the answer is that there must be a question. What Lux meant was to answer Ye He's question in exchange for Ye He's solution.

This was beneficial to Ye He, so he looked at Gwen again, then smiled at Lux and said:
"If it were me...I would have the church publicly declare that those Aturu people are pagans, and then burn them all on the stake!"

This shocking and radical "solution" stunned the two saints.

They thought Ye He was absurd, violent, and unreasonable, but Ye He continued to talk to himself:
“Sacrificing the most difficult believers to rule, gaining the loyalty of other believers who are easier to rule, and at the same time issuing a convention that is conducive to maintaining the rule of the city... I think this is worthwhile.

Also, I can tell you the way you dream of saving this city: taxation and borrowing!"

The two saints looked at each other, somewhat not understanding what Ye He meant, but they did understand the previous sentence "sacrifice the small self for the greater self".

Lux immediately gave a bitter smile, while Gwen restrained her smile and looked at the grinning priest with a very unwelcome look at Ye He.

“Hehe, of course, if you are unwilling to give up anything, then just wait for what you will not get!
This is not my city, they are not my people, and they don’t even share the same faith. I don’t care.”

Ye He shrugged lightly, looked back in the direction of the holy mountain, and then looked at the top of the holy mountain.

He knew that an old man and an "old god" could hear what he had just said.

Ye He said this for them to hear.

He wanted to see how the Man who was dedicated to the welfare of all believers and the God who was about to die would deal with his opinion!
"you……"

Gwen frowned and was about to refute Ye He's "heresy", but suddenly she felt a great will coming!

The same goes for Lux, or rather, all the clergy of the Church of the Blazing Sun, felt His coming!
In an instant, these clergymen put down what they were doing and knelt down devoutly with their heads bowed.

[…The Aturu race is no longer my believer. Eradicate this evil in the Holy City! ]

oracle!

The God of the Fiery Sun actually gave a divine oracle at this moment!
The color drained from both Gwen and Lux's faces.

The great will that had descended had left, and they raised their heads and looked together at Ye He, who was smiling with satisfaction.

This man... this man!!!
why? !

Why? !
Why would the gods believe his arrogant and cruel words? !
"Ah……"

Ye He looked back at the two saints, gave them a mocking smile, and then looked at the Aturu community outside the alley.

Some of the Aturu people with their families have already come out, waiting for the Knights of the Fiery Sun to take them to a better and larger new community.

Their uncivilized nature made them seem extremely greedy and ridiculous. They wanted to move all the furniture... Oh no, the Aturu people who came out later had already moved out all the furniture.

Opposite them, the usually civilized and friendly Dilis people were standing there with a blank look on their faces, accepting the wanton ridicule of the Aturu people.

but……

The Fiery Sun Knights who had suddenly knelt down stood up, looked at each other, and then turned back to look at the Aturu people.

“No…no…this…”

Gwen shook her head in disbelief, but the sound of swords being drawn that filled her ears frightened her so much that her heart almost stopped.

After a brief silence, Lux suddenly smiled with relief.

She looked at Ye He, and the kindness of a young girl in her eyes naturally disappeared. Her beautiful golden eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any luster.

"free?"

Ye He uttered a word that made Lux's body tremble.

"Peace?"

The second word he said was drowned out by the screams of the Aturu people.
