Overturned Tower

Russell thought for a moment, but decided to immediately tell Paradise Bird what the church was doing.

Including the essence of angels being able to be "juiced", and the fact that the "source of holy orders" is selling well in the dream world... The situation has changed, and it may be too late to wait for the right time.

"...how could this be!"

After hearing Russell's explanation, Bird of Paradise's eyes suddenly widened, almost furious, and her voice became sharp because of this: "What right do they have to betray angels?!

"Without the angels, the Church would have ceased to exist back then!

"These angels have long been able to control the entire church. They chose to trust the church and the Pope, and they were frozen and sealed voluntarily, but now..."

For Paradise Bird, this is almost a collapse of the world view.

Although under the influence of her father, she doesn't have much trust in the church—but she has far more sympathy for angels than ordinary church personnel.

Her anger is not based on her disappointment with the church, but on her empathy and indignation towards the angels.

After all, the child's heart is too pure.

Although he was born in the lower city, he was not polluted by the lower city at all. Paradise Bird still has goodwill and trust towards others in its heart...

This kind of character can indeed make her from a bad background recognized by the church, but it also makes it easier for her to be used by others.

Russell wasn't worried that she would be arrested too...

As a living saint who can obtain the power of an angel-level holy order with her own pure will without using the halo, her value is obviously much higher than that of ordinary angels.

After all, Paradise Bird belongs to the "angel template that has not yet appeared".

After she grows up, she can reproduce many brand-new angels with her memory alone—even if the upper echelon of the church only regards angels as tools, Paradise Bird has at least the value of an assembly line. It should be possible to share a full meal with the wisdom of the elves at the top of the church.

What he is worried about is that Paradise Bird, who is completely ignorant of the inside story, will be used as a gun.

The interior of the church is not monolithic either.

Although based on the way of obtaining the power of holy orders, the nature of the church must be good...

But the birth of "angels" is itself a loophole taken by the church. Even though it was to defeat the mage, if the church was really pure and white, the angels could not have been born in the first place.

The so-called mechanical angels are false artificial saints.

To deceive the world by modifying other people's memory and adjusting other people's will... to obtain the power of the Holy Order that was not available or not so strong in a fraudulent way. For this reason, it even spared no effort to construct a system of "God's Arrival Device" through the remains and relics of the dead saints, analyze their memories, and copy their subconscious minds.

Since they can do such a thing, it shows that the Church is by no means pure and innocent—

At that time, they had already proved that... as long as it was for the sake of victory, even such things as desecrating the bones of the saints and rewriting the spirit and memory of the innocent could be done without hesitation.

And these created angels are naturally innocent and holy. Regardless of whether their consciousness is false or implanted, since the power of the Holy Order that can be used is much stronger than those bishops of the church, it means that the "god" of the church recognizes them better than those mortal bishops.

But after the war ended, the angels did not hold power at all, but were collectively sealed up.

"From that moment on, I knew... the church might be better than the corporation, but not much better.

"Isn't it hard to understand that the church now sells these 'artificial saints' for other interests? Fundamentally speaking, what they did in the past and now have always been the same thing—"

Russell sighed: "When you went to visit, there should be an entourage?"

"Yes... there are four or five."

"Did you meet anyone else on the road?"

"…Yes."

"That is to say, the church headquarters must have known you were coming. How could they be so coincidental that they let you see that the space in the opposite room was short of space at the very moment you were going out?"

Russell patted Paradise Bird on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, you're just being used.

"Because your own value is too high...you won't get into trouble easily. And there are naturally struggles within the church. It's perfectly normal for one faction to want to use you to cause trouble for the other faction.

"I think that these acts of selling angels should be done by one of the factions. This is a very simple reason... If the church's top leaders unanimously pass this kind of resolution, then a complete assembly line should be formed from the production of angels to the sale, which is impossible There is a deficit.

"But other forces in the church are obviously not happy to see the resurrection of the angels. So although they don't support it, they don't directly oppose it in essence, but take it as a handle.

"And you use this handle to leverage their fulcrum."

"why is it like this…"

Paradise Bird could only murmur and repeat this sentence.

Although he planned to tell some secrets to Russell, he did not expect to be shocked by Russell.

"I've also considered whether to tell you this kind of thing. You are a good boy, not good at acting...Once you know too much, it will be easy to reveal flaws in words and deeds, and it will be difficult to hide those old turtles.

"But the same... If you know too little, and you are easy to be used by others, to do something you don't want to do. The harm between the two powers is the lesser, I decided to tell you all this."

Russell stretched his arms around the shoulders of Paradise Bird, and whispered in her ear: "Let's relax later... You can go back after you calm down. At this stage, it's best not to let Wuming know too much... After all As far as I know, the church holds the control terminal that exerts influence on each halo. Once the angels have made any obvious betrayal, it is easy for the church to be vigilant and disarm all the angels~www.readwn.com ~By the way, what did you want to tell me before? What's the second thing?"

"...Wait a minute, let me think about it, Mr. Barber. My mind is a little messed up..."

Paradise Bird murmured with her eyes closed.

She paused for a while before explaining in a low voice: "I feel that I may not have fully understood this matter before... After you told me this secret, I seem to understand something...

"What I originally wanted to tell you is that the church already knows that you are a mage. On the one hand, they plan to continue to send angels to the special execution department to put pressure on you. On the other hand... they also hope that I can contact the lower city The remnants of the church, to convey the wishes of the church, to 'make some kind of deal with the godfather'.

"I originally thought that this was a trap. Because I don't think the church can reach any real 'deal' with the mage. Contacted, even fought, with some groups in . They are just using me to convey false goodwill to you.

"But now... I can't tell the difference..."

The Bird of Paradise finally couldn't stand it any longer, and turned around and fell into Russell's arms, whimpering softly and making a vague cry: "I don't know, what should I do... What are they going to do... What is the thing I was pursuing before... "

Russell sighed softly, shaking his body back and forth like coaxing a child, and gently patted the back of Paradise Bird.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

deal…

also good.

"Then I will accept their deal."
