Don't call me evil god

Bishop Henry's face turned ugly.

Because the Countess of Ceylon was right.

He overstepped his authority in this matter.

Evil gods and heretics are completely different concepts.

The former is the responsibility of the Glow God Religion.

The entire Kingdom of Leyak was protected by the magical miracle of [Past Glory], preventing the attack of monsters.

It is the duty of the followers of the Glow God to fight against the evil gods.

The original purpose of the establishment of the Crusaders was to fight against monsters, cultists, relatives of evil gods, and even the evil gods themselves.

This point is written into the consensus of the Glow Codex and the Codex of the Kingdom of Reyak.

Right now:

When it comes to issues related to evil gods, the Glow God Cult has a higher priority than the Kingdom of Reyak and the King.

This is easy to understand.

If the evil god comes in and destroys the world, then regardless of whether it is the Leyak Kingdom or the Jinyak Kingdom, they will both be destroyed, there is no difference.

Fighting the evil god is the first priority.

Heretics and evil gods are different.

Heretical gods, churches, beliefs, and believers will not destroy the world like evil gods. Their biggest problem is that they will conflict with the teachings of the Glow God Religion.

Doctrinal conflicts often mean conflicts of beliefs, that is, inability to believe in both.

in other words.

In the Kingdom of Reyak, for every additional believer of the heretic god, there will be one less believer of the Glow God Cult.

The power of the God of Radiance is also related to the number of His followers.

[Past Glory] The power of divine magic is also part of the power of the God of Glow.

This is the reason why the Glow God Cult issued a heretical expulsion order to drive various heretical beliefs out of the Kingdom of Leyak.

What the Glow God Religion has always preached is:

It is very dangerous to believe in a heretical church, because abandoning the belief in radiance means that the protection of the god of radiance will be weakened, and everyone may one day be taken advantage of by the evil god.

Don't touch those heretical beliefs and honestly believe in the God of Radiance.

The god of radiance will protect everyone from being polluted by the evil god.

…

The emergence of heretical expulsion orders can be regarded as a measure to turn "calls" into "decree".

But this decree, in terms of its nature, was not issued by the Glow Divine Cult, but by the king of the Kingdom of Reyak.

The order is this:

The Glow God Religion signed and issued an expulsion order for heretics. At this time, this order was still a call to action and had no actual effect.

It is just an edict, a warning.

To really make it have practical effects, for example, when believers with heretical beliefs are found in the kingdom, they can be forcibly deported or imprisoned, relying on the decree issued by King Leyak.

Of course, so far, all heretical expulsion edicts issued by the Glow God Religion are bound to the king's decree.

Because it’s good for the kingdom.

Heresy has no place to survive in the Kingdom of Leyak, which is equivalent to the belief of the Glow God Cult becoming more stable.

Correspondingly, the God of Glow's protection will be stronger.

Every year during the monster red tide, there will be fewer small gaps randomly appearing on [Past Glory].

The losses and impacts caused by red tide will also be smaller.

Judging from the results, it is undoubtedly beneficial to both parties that the Kingdom and the Glow Divine Religion are on the same front.

But in any case, the implementation of the "expulsion of heretics" relied on the king, the powerful nobles who were entrusted to govern each region, and local affairs officials.

The Glow God Religion does not participate and has no right to participate!

This is the reason why Bishop Henry Trump came to the Countess of Ceylon this time.

He cannot mobilize the Crusaders, because heretics and evil gods are two different things.

We can only ask the countess to increase her efforts, simply send out the king's army, or recruit mercenaries and nobles to drive the heretic territory that appeared in the dark forest farther away.

At least we can’t put all the road signs at the border of the kingdom!

Now that many adventurers in the Ceylon area have gone there, there is a possibility of them converting.

This is what Bishop Henry was trying to prevent.

But he got a negative answer from the countess.

…

Bishop Henry's voice deepened: "My Lady Countess, did I hear you correctly?"

"Allowing heretics? Allowing their dangerous teachings to spread among the citizens of the Kingdom?"

The Countess of Ceylon sipped the steaming black tea very gracefully.

The black tea was previously presented by the old butler Winnex. The high-quality tea from the southwest of the kingdom exudes a welcoming aroma.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to remind you."

"First of all, I did not condone heresy."

"As soon as I received the heretic expulsion order, I conveyed the news to the affairs officials in Ceylon and the army soldiers stationed and patrolling the border defense lines."

"As you can see, at least within the territory of Ceylon, I have completed all the tasks required by the decree to expel heretics."

"Secondly, about what you said."

"The territory of the heretical church was established outside the borders of the kingdom. Legally speaking, as long as they did not step into the kingdom, they did not violate the heretical expulsion decree issued by the king regarding the members of the Seeking Church."

"Finally, I have a different opinion about the spread of dangerous teachings among citizens."

"To offer faith to that god means that they will also be expelled from the Kingdom of Reyak."

"I think most people can clearly distinguish the pros and cons and will not be easily fooled by the dangerous teachings of heretics."

"Or does Your Excellency the Bishop think that they would rather give up their safe life in the Kingdom of Reyak and the blessing of the God of Radiance to follow the so-called heretical gods?"

“To that extent will the teachings and beliefs of that Being be so attractive to them?”

The Countess of Ceylon put down the tea cup in her hand.

The cup holder collided with the saucer and made a crisp sound.

Bishop Henry Trump touched the gorgeous pendant on his chest that symbolized the Glow God Religion and confirmed in a deep voice:

"So, Lady Countess, we have nothing to talk about, right?"

The Countess of Ceylon nodded affirmatively: "Yes, at least in this matter, I'm sorry to obey."

The bishop's expression changed for a few seconds, and finally the polite smile returned to his face: "Well, I think the Lord's people should be wise enough to discern which god is the one who can truly protect them and is worthy of their faith. ”

Then he switched to a new topic as if nothing had happened: "So how is the Countess considering the proposal of selling the Crusader's replacement equipment to the market in Ceylon?"

"I have no objection to this." The Countess smiled and said, "It's not too late for me to welcome you."

"Adventurers and mercenaries in the Ceylon Territory are lacking suitable weapons and equipment. The ones provided by the dwarves are not high-yield and too expensive. Many people cannot afford to buy them."

"Even if it is equipment that has been eliminated and replaced by the Crusaders, I think it will be very attractive to most people."

"You are welcome to receive sales in Ceylon."

"Of course, I think the Glow God Religion will definitely abide by the rules of market sales and compete fairly."

"Is it right?"

There is also the fifth update! Working on it!
