DNF, made by the ancient gods

"Of course it's difficult. If they weren't difficult, how could the Peace Council distribute such envelopes to the lords? This is something that hasn't happened in 200 years, right?"

"Huh? Lord Viscount, there may be something else in this letter..."

"Even if the enemy is not as terrible as we imagined, this war is still a hard one. If the central government's finances alone are used to support such a large scale of war... then it will be really painful. Therefore , they ask every lord bathed in the glory of the Tranquility Republic to contribute..."

"To be more specific, they want the nobles with fiefdoms to contribute soldiers, arms and food to this war."

——This is unrealistic.

Alger was a little dumbfounded, his first reaction was to dislike this rude request.The Anning Republic was originally a tool that overthrew the empire under the control of an interest group. In the past 200 years, the Anning Republic will naturally not suppress the development of that interest group.

Therefore, there is more decentralization of power.

The decentralization of power means the decentralization of the power of the central government, and it also means that the central government's control over the localities will be greatly reduced. In addition, it is difficult to use the military power of the central government now, and it is impossible to deter it by force.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for the central government to ask the local governments to do their best for this war.

"However, the superficial work should be done. Except for a few hard-headed fools, it is estimated that no one will really not support the army."

It's just a question of how much effort is put in. If the Peace Council doesn't give up enough benefits to share the cake with everyone at this time... then the situation may be worse.

Humans' infighting skills are no joke.Does the joke recorded in countless history books show that even if the end of the world is in the near future, human beings will not let go of their struggle for power and profit.The greed rooted in biological instinct makes human beings repeat the mistakes that have occurred in history forever, as if they can't learn the lesson.

"Master Viscount, we should..."

"We are different from those idiots who still have contempt. At this moment, we should fully support the war, what do you say?"

"……Correct."

But the problem is, even if he wants to support the war...according to the development of Ximu Town, he can't do much.

"Drop some of the guards we trained and prepare the food..."

As a ruler, the release of government orders must always be detailed enough, at least there must be no loopholes for some lawbreakers to exploit, otherwise it is very easy to cause major troubles.

However, although the order is being issued, the main energy of the mage who is extremely developed in the field of thinking is still thinking about the problem-a choice.

To prevent the coming of Hoarfrost...?

Reward, punishment.

If there is really a hand who arranged everything quietly, how should he choose...

--obedience.

— disobedience.

Chapter 056 Nightmare

"Hi-Hi-George--"

Since you can't get your real name, let's call him by a fake name for the time being.

Walking out of the room, I saw that distinctive girl running towards me. Behind her were a few maids who were also holding up their skirts. They looked embarrassed, and this look became more obvious after seeing Bai En .

This guy……

He sent Alger away behind him, and then walked past Danterian calmly, with a small sideways in the middle, avoiding the approach of this frizzy girl.

He didn't like this situation, but it was obvious that he couldn't do anything cruel to Danterian, not out of morality or intolerance, but simply judging from the value she showed.

She might know herself... This guy's life experience is a mystery, and the hazy mist covers her body so that Bai En can't see the truth clearly, and it also makes him unwilling to act rashly.

If this is a trick, then the person who proposed the plan must have a thorough understanding of his character.

"why do you ignore me?"

Life without entertainment is unbearable, especially since her interests are basically different from Bai En's.

"Because you have repeated what you are about to say many times, if it is not necessary, I hope you will not waste other people's time."

He kept walking, and his unwillingness to cooperate made the two people who were having a small tea party next door raise their brows. While lamenting how demanding young people are in this era, they stuffed pudding into their mouths at the same time.

"It's a sad development."

"But it's normal. After all, Danterian's origin has never been explained. This problem is buried in his heart like a thorn. As long as he can't solve this problem, he can't feel at ease."

Picking up the dessert on Niyari's plate, she swallowed it in one gulp.

"We can make Danterian trust Bai En unconditionally, but we can't do the same to Bai En..."

"You can't do it?"

"No, I can do it. Now he is like a ball of clay, as long as he has a little strength, anyone can knead him at will... But the principle I uphold is not to interfere with him."

Personality is untouchable, as long as this thing is touched, every subsequent world line will have one thing in common-the demise of the individual Alice Bedford.

Whether it's robbery, rape, meteorites, or earthquakes... He knows the existence of those terrible world lines - he will never want to touch them.

"So you're interfering with the circumstances he's in, which is great."

"But this is authorized. Do you think anyone can interfere with his surroundings?"

Of course not.

"Then what's the point of her?"

"in the future."

His voice was muffled because he was swallowing.But the general meaning is still understandable.

"Not pulling out the thorn doesn't mean that she can't really get close to Bai En. This kind of situation happens now, just because the price she paid is not enough."

"Whenever her existence is 'normal' to Bai En, and the price she paid is enough to impress Bai En, she will be."

Then, that's the end.

*

The dim candlelight was lit, and the faint little lights were arranged in an orderly manner, forming a strange pattern in this claustrophobic basement.

— Holy Crown.

This nightmare religion was formed 320 days ago. The Pope, who received "divine revelation" from a dream, started a difficult missionary journey with the scarlet Gospel in his hand.

The distorted teachings are unconvincing, and the outline of a beautiful blueprint for the future is not as powerful as the orthodox religion. There are no benefits and privileges in the center of daily life, and they even have to be despised as cultists... It can be said that if it is not the Pope If he showed his god-given "miracles" from time to time, it would be impossible for this religion to develop.

But even with real "miracles", the development of this religion is still extremely slow. After more than 63 days of missionary efforts, the number of members of this religion is only [-], which is not a good thing at all.

but--

"Our faith has been tempered, and the trials have made it more pure. We are not dissatisfied with the current situation, but we sincerely lament that our fellow citizens are trapped in ugly lies, and their souls cannot be free."

The Pope spoke in a gentle tone. He stretched out his hand to caress the Gospel. The pattern of the scarlet eye exuded warmth, and he could even feel a burning sensation when he touched it with his fingers.

This is a veritable gospel, communicating with mysterious beings from afar.

"They will always wake up...the false beliefs are just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water after all, but my lord is real, and they only need enough time to understand everything."

Past pope, present bishop.He was dressed in a dark red robe, and his figure was like a tall and straight tree trunk. He had been running around for a long time for his beliefs, and it was not until two days ago that he let go of the burden on him and handed over the position of Pope to others.

The Holy Crown is different from the church. This emerging religion is united by faith, and the need for power cannot corrupt the hearts of these fanatics. They will only act in accordance with their beliefs, and they are not attached to power or wealth.

"You're right, Asa."

Bai En smiled noncommittally, but the shadow covered his face, leaving only his voice.

It has been two days since he took over the position of Pope - the believer who was caught by him recognized his identity as "one of his own" and took him to the meeting place of the members of the Holy Crown, and it was easy for him to have the son of Green gained actual leadership.

This is thanks to their devout faith.

"Tonight is our ceremony... to light the first fire."

The scarlet flame will burn three times, and the clear call will be sent to the far side. The will of the nightmare is watching this world, and the family of the ancient gods will also come here.

"Praise the flame."

It is not difficult to get rid of Danterian. She only needs a simple reason, and she can stay in the mansion obediently and not come out to spoil his good deeds.

"Our offerings have also arrived."

Human blood was placed in wooden barrels, and the blood had clotted because no anticoagulant was added.After all, it's been almost 10 minutes since they were taken out.

Those were four death row prisoners. As Lord Bai En, it was not difficult to lift people out of prison. It was with the help of this status that he was able to start the first fire so quickly.

You must know that these believers are not villains without a bottom line, and asking them to kill innocents to call out nightmares... This goes against their original intentions.Before that, they even thought about whether they should dedicate their lives to their faith, but Asa stopped them, which did not make the Holy Crown, which already lacked members, weaker.

"The time has come, Pope."

Chapter 057 Rem, Ram

The Pope's job is not at all simple.

"The throbbing scarlet heart—"

Holding the Scarlet Gospel in his hand, he led these fanatics to perform the ceremony—even though he didn't trust the mysterious Green at all.

The Son of Grimm perched above the chandelier, his deep body blended with the shadows, and in the hollow eye sockets, scarlet flames were quietly burning.

It represents Green's will, and it is also the most powerful support for Pope Bai En's identity.These fanatics succumbed to their faith, and Bai En drove them forward in the name of faith.

"Looking at the place where you can't see the depth—"

"The place where the soul is born, the place where the soul returns..."

Three large rings form the frame, and 36 stripes circle and intertwine within the ring. These things depicted in blood form a huge pattern—the erect pupils.

The coagulated blood flowed again, as if a mysterious existence had endowed these dead creatures with vitality.They made a "sizzling" sound that could be heard, as if they were eroding the ground, and then wriggled like thick mercury.

Darkness is driven out by scarlet light, the light of blood.The blood burned without knowing when, emitting a pale blood-colored mist like incense.

Bai En watched the whole process. Although he was in charge of leading the ceremony, in the final analysis he didn't even understand the principle of this ceremony - he only needed to sing the Gospel, and the fanatics below chanted together, but relying on this ordinary Odd voice, this ritual can be started?

He didn't pay mana.

Encountered a completely incomprehensible phenomenon, and could not extract useful relevant information from his modest knowledge reserves.

But... regardless of its principle, there must be something wrong with this fog.

Enveloped by the reddish mist, his body feels warm. These mist seem to have life. They slowly spread to every corner of the room, but in the end they suddenly contracted and gathered around him.

The initial flame had been ignited, but he did not capture the process of its ignition—a scarlet fire suddenly bloomed in the center of the vertical pupil, and it was completely unclear what this scarlet fire was fueled by.

However, Bai En was not in the mood to explore slowly, and the sudden sound of conversation attracted his attention.

"Sister, sister, is it him again?"

"Sister, sister, it's really destined!"

The voice was very low, like whispering.It came from the hazy mist, and the original voice was lost, but it was barely recognizable as the voices of two girls.

"I've seen him once before, but compared to the last time, isn't there almost no change? He is still like this."

"That's right, he didn't become very strong, but he didn't become weak either... Well, sister, are you not right? He even wore a mask this time to hide himself."

"That's right..."

The Pope stared at the billowing mist and was silent for a while.He definitely has to do something, but the circumstances are not right.

"Asa, our ceremony has been completed, and the initial fire has been ignited ragingly, but the envoy of my lord has a revelation to deliver to me, so you should leave here first and guard the palace."

"Yes, Pope."

Believers have no doubts.Judging from their previous reactions, they probably didn't hear the two conversations, but Bai En still had to let them go, otherwise, in their eyes, the image of the Pope in their hearts might have a new change.

"Look, sister, he's lied to people. We didn't say anything, but he lied to those lovely believers that we whispered to him..."

"It's a big liar, sister, be careful."

"It's unnecessary - I can beat him, and it doesn't take much effort. If he lied to me, then I'll beat him up, but for the sake of the leader, I promise Don't beat him seriously."

Sister, younger sister...it seems to be a pair of sisters.

Cracking his fists, he was skeptical of that "sister"'s obviously contemptuous words.He didn't think that this mysterious girl whose energy reaction was not much higher than his own could easily crush him... Besides, no matter how you say it, such words can only be regarded as provocations.

The impression score is directly marked as a negative number.

"You... are Green's emissaries?"

In fact, it would be better to use "running dog", but he didn't lower his self-quality... How to say, even if he swears, he has to use a different method to swear without swearing. This is something he and the nobles of this world have learned.

The much thicker fog suddenly fell silent, and the temperature also dropped sharply.

"Well, I think it would be better for you to call him 'Master Green'?"
