Overgod Ascension - 564. Chapter 564 Church (7600 plus)

Wuthering City is divided into inner and outer layers.

The inner city is the Howling Castle, the residence of the Earl of the Blue Mountains. It is built of thick granite and is one end higher than the city wall. It has arrow towers and bunkers. Once a war breaks out, you can immediately be fully armed to your teeth.

In the previous Blue Blood Civil War, Wuthering Castle set a record of one hundred guards, blocking the siege of 10,000 troops, and holding on to the record for one year!

Outside of Wuthering Castle is the residence of civilians and free people. The entire outer city of Wuthering City is divided into four major districts. The eastern district is the residence of scholars, mercenary group leaders, small merchants, craftsmen… these free folks, Most of them are exquisite small villas, with one or two gardens attached.

The West District and the South District are the residences of the poor, and here are the two most chaotic places. Some black markets and slave shops are also open here.

As for the North District, it is where the church is.

Wu Ming wore a white shirt, washed black trousers, a cross sword hung from his waist, and moccasin boots stepped on the cobblestone ground. There was a crisp sound, and he slowly came to the North District.

The church’s building is magnificent, with a pointed top, and has some Gothic style.

Dangdang!

At this time, in the square, the sound of the bronze bell sounded. A group of poor people in ragged clothes and worn linen cloth, mostly barefoot, gathered together, waiting with a look of aspiration.

Cang Dang!

The door of the church opened, and a group of priests poured out to maintain order.

“The Lord comes from the chaos and brings light to the world!”

A bishop wearing a red coat with gray hair and a compassionate look began his daily mission and charity.

Several strong men came out carrying the pot, which was thinly boiled oatmeal. The mothers next to them were carrying the baskets, and after lifting the white cloth, they could see pieces of brown bread lying there quietly.

Many poor people swallowed and squeezed forward.

Had it not been for a row of powerful priests and a few glorious knights in armor, they would have stepped forward to rob them.

“Don’t worry! Come one by one!”

The cardinal maintains order: “Women, old people, and children first!”

He took a spoon, gave each dirty wooden bowl, a broken bowl with a hole missing, and even scooped a spoonful of oatmeal in his hand. The mother next to him cooperatively gave a piece of black bread, not too much. Few, but also enough to barely sustain one day’s survival needs.

“The Lord said, we must love the world, just as the world loves us…”

Watching the cardinal preaching tirelessly and leading the crowd to pray, Wu Ming politely watched one side, but his eyes were incomprehensible: “This church…”

In his eyes, the entire church was gray and there was almost no gleam in it.

Even in the cardinal’s body, he did not feel any extraordinary aura, as if he was an ordinary mortal old man.

The only thing that caught his attention was the Glory Knights.

These glorious knights, also known as church knights, are true knights who have been selected by the church system and passed through holy oil and rituals!

Of course, they have the strength of knights, but due to the restrictions of the church, no nobles are willing to canonize them and give them fiefs and fiefs. Therefore, they have no knight strength but no knighthood. The church claims that they have dedicated everything to the supreme Lord. , Is the glory of the church, giving them the name of “Glory Knight”.

But in Wu Ming’s view, they are just a group of senior thugs trained.

“But one thing is the same, it is so relief every day…this church really has a lot of financial resources…”

Wu Ming touched his chin and thought of more at once.

There are only three powers that hold the secrets of knights’ promotion on the Plain of Wind and Fire. If those little nobles want to remain neutral and don’t want their knights to be penetrated too deeply by the earls and viscounts, they have to ask the church for help.

For this, they must pay a large sum of money as a price.

Not to mention, with the propaganda of the church, there are always a group of free people and even little nobles who hope to find spiritual comfort from the scriptures. They choose to convert to baptism and receive a large amount of donations every day. Naturally, they are rich.

The armors of the glory knights were bright, and the cross swords were decorated with precious stones and gold. The brilliance was extraordinary, and Thakul was beaten down in one fell swoop.

After the crowd dispersed, Wu Ming came to the gate of the church.

“Unfamiliar brother, where are you from?”

Just now, the cardinal looked a little tired and was praying, but he found Wu Ming for the first time.

“My name is William, from Niah Town!”

Wu Ming stared at the idol in the church. It was a tall figure with perfect muscle lines but no face.

From it, Wu Ming vaguely felt a bit of extraordinary power, but it was hazy, and he felt a little paradoxical.

“What god do you believe in?”

The cardinal’s expression was a little solemn, and he asked slowly.

“I believe in the spirit of nature!”

Wu Ming answered without blinking.

The belief system in this world is still relatively primitive. Many gods do not have specific names, and even primitive beliefs similar to ancestor worship and nature worship exist.

Moreover, because the power of the church was suppressed by the nobles, it had not developed to the level of religious persecution, otherwise Wu Ming would not have said so carelessly that he was a heretic.

He asked again: “Why doesn’t the god have a face?”

“Because our Lord was born out of chaos. He is the god of all, the god of dominance, incarnate in thousands, and the spirit of nature is also a carrier of his great power!”

A voice came from the side, answering Wu Ming’s question.

“archbishop!”

The previous cardinal immediately bowed his head respectfully.

Wu Ming looked at the man who came. He was dressed extremely plainly, with only a linen robe, bare feet, and no decoration. He looked no different from a poor old man on the side of the road.

But on him, Wu Ming clearly felt the traces of extraordinary power: “Is it a real priest?”

Only after hearing the answer from the archbishop, he immediately became speechless.

With such a doctrine of the sole god, the supreme god, it is no wonder that the church is so unpopular and even boycotted by the nobles.

The enfeoffment of the nobles is actually splitting power. They are the masters of their respective territories and can do whatever they want in their territories.

But the Church’s only God, the Supreme God theory, placed in this world, is the unification of nakedness and nakedness! Unless the king is aspiring to unify the entire continent, no nobleman will blatantly support it.

“Praise my lord, I see the return of another brother!”

The archbishop smiled: “Same church brother, are you here to find spiritual comfort, or something else?”

“Actually, I am an adventurer, confident that my skills have reached the pinnacle, but there is no way forward!”

Wu Ming said frankly.

“Do you want to be a knight?”

The cardinal shook his head: “I’m very sorry, unless you have received the noble canonization and recommendation, and paid 500 Jindelong, or sworn to abandon everything to join the church and become a glorious knight, otherwise, as agreed, we can’t provide you with any help. !”

He said this very well, and he didn’t know how many people he had said before.

“That’s it, I took the liberty to bother!”

Wu Ming bowed slightly: “I donated a Jin Delong to the church!”

He took out a gold coin and handed it to the cardinal, looking disappointed and ready to leave.

“Wait a minute!”

At this time, the archbishop suddenly said: “Dear child, the door of the church will always be open for you!”

“Thank you!”

Wu Ming was startled, and immediately saluted again, and exited the door of the church.

“archbishop?!”

The cardinal looked at the old man in surprise.

The old man’s expression also seemed to be a little confused: “I saw a fog of fate on his body, which seemed to carry the enlightenment of my lord…”

“My lord?”

The cardinal was excited and a little ashamed: “Did you get any oracle?”

“God loves the world, but he won’t interfere in the world easily. He will only give you hints in the slightest…feel it, listen to the whole world…”

The archbishop rolled his eyes in his eyes and said slowly.

…

“To obtain the Holy Oil Research, you must join a church or a nobleman?”

Wu Ming walked out of the church, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: “If this is the case, how did those wandering free riders come from?”

Although there is a contract to abide by, he doesn’t believe that the nobles and the church are so invulnerable on the surface.

No matter how precise and perfect the rules are, they need people to observe and maintain them.

Wherever there are people, flaws can appear.

“In the black market, there must be clues to holy oil, even for sale…”

With almost no time to think, Wu Ming had an idea in his heart.

“Of course…Before this, I still visit a few more scholars, I need more knowledge!”

…

Three days later, in the east side, inside a villa.

“Dear Lulun Scholar, I found poor Mr. Evans in a wolf den according to the route you provided. I’m sorry!”

Wu Ming put a blood-stained leather armor and a ring with a peculiar pattern on the table, and said to a pale old man.

“This is indeed Evans’ ring…oh! My poor little one!”

Scholar Lu Lun looked at the ring and rubbed it on his chest, suddenly a little sparkling in the corner of his eyes.

“Anyway, thank you very much! Brave adventurer!”

I don’t know how long it took, the voice of Scholar Lu Lun came over: “You will get what you deserve!”

He got up and put a key and a small bag of Jin Delong in front of Wu Ming: “Seven Jin Delong and the seven-day right to read all the books in my study are yours!”

“Let Gavin tell you about the rest!”

Scholar Lu Lun leaned on the recliner, obviously exhausted.

Wu Ming bowed and exited, found the old butler Gavin, and came to Lu Lun’s study.

The brass key was inserted into the keyhole, making a crisp sound. Immediately, the door opened and several rows of primitive bookshelves appeared in front of Wu Ming.
