When he saw the pastor Wright standing at the door, Gao Wen's first reaction was that he was a little surprised that the pastor rarely came to see him.

Gao Wen would usually pay a little attention to Wright's activities. After all, this is the only missionary in the territory. It can be regarded as an extension of the Church of the Holy Light in Cecil. Although the pastor's painting style seems to be a problem, just his connection with the Church of the Holy Light is worthy of Gow's attention. However, after a period of observation, he found that Mr. Wright is really a person who adheres to the precepts of classical priests. Almost all activities on weekdays revolve around the church. He prays in the morning, blesses the holy water, enters the believers who go to the church to pray, and distributes sweet cakes (although it seems that they can rarely be sent out). He went to the city in the afternoon to preach. The basic way of preaching is to help all households and preach the benefits of getting close to the Holy Light while working, such as not being sore in the waist or having legs or pain... In the past few months, he has developed a group of believers...

In addition, the pastor had no extra activities at all. The only few times he went out of the city was that he heard that someone was injured on the construction site, so he went to help. The remaining few times he heard that the workers' cafeteria wanted to improve food for everyone, so he ran to the west forest and beat more than a dozen bears back. During the days, there was a wilderness legend in the logging farm town, saying that giants appeared in the forest, and they chased bears all over the mountains and fields all day long...

Recalling the deeds about this pastor, Gao Wen couldn't help but tremble, but because he had just played satellite VR, he was still in a state of vomiting at any time, his expression quickly became particularly serious (mainly if he didn't sing, he really vomited without stinging). Looking at Wright, he asked lightly: "Mr. Wright, do you have something to come to me?"

But Wright didn't know why Gao Wen's expression was so serious. He just thought of the first thing he did was to the refugees who were taken in not long ago, and the news that the Holy Light Church was excluding believers of the alien gods in the central region. So he associated these two things with his identity and took the initiative to say: "Lord, I am not here to ask you to expel those innocent people."

Gao Wen didn't know where this sentence came from: "Ah?"

Wright looked serious: "Your expression is so serious. Are you thinking about the persecution of those believers of alien gods?"

Gao Wenxin said that he looked serious because he wanted to vomit after playing too much VR, which had something to do with persecution of the alien gods. But then he reacted, pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, and looked at Wright with curiosity: "Are you talking about the Blood God and Shadow Believers who have escaped from the Holy Spirit Plain... You mentioned the 'persecution' just now. It seems that you don't agree with the practices of your fellow church members on the Holy Spirit Plain?"

"I... still can't believe that they are so paranoid," Wright's face showed a sad expression, and his fists were clenched slowly. "I heard the experiences described by the exiles. The intuition brought by the holy light told me that those people were honest, but... I was still suspicious."

"I have heard that the improvement of divine arts has made it easier for the new generation of clergy to master the power of the Holy Light, so the old method of rigidly abiding by classical virtues in exchange for the affinity of the Holy Light gradually fell behind. The Holy Light has changed from a belief to a skill. So I am not surprised at the speed of the fall of the clergy in the most prosperous and most prone to breeding corruption in the central region," Gao Wen leaned back on the back of the chair, looking at Wright with a deep look. "Of course, I understand your shake and doubt. After all, you are receiving the same teachings of the Holy Light as them, but you are completely different from them."

Wright seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in Gao Wen's gaze, he still expressed his purpose: "Sir, I hope to go back and see it with my own eyes."

"I guessed it," Gao Wen said lightly, "so who will take care of your church?"

"I'm here to tell you about this," Lait nodded. "I promised the exiles that they could go to the church for help at any time, but I can't help but want to go back to the Holy Spirit Plain, so I hope you can send someone to manage the church temporarily without any ritual sacrifice. Just keep the church open and someone cleans it, so that the believers want to pray that there is still a place to go. And I left enough talismans and holy water in the church, and I will come back before these things are consumed."

Then, the pastor saluted Gowen with a solemn look on his face: "I hope you can agree to my presumptuous requests."

Looking at Wright with a serious face, Gao Wen couldn't help but chuckled and nodded: "The operation of the church is also part of the territory's affairs. Your willingness to hand over the church to the government office to manage is also a manifestation of your adaptation to Cecil's law. I agree, you can leave with confidence."

Wright lowered his head deeply: "Thank you for your understanding."

Looking at the only pastor in the city, who is also a pastor who has a very good taste in his style, Gao Wen couldn't help asking: "When are you going to leave? Do you need escorts or any other help?"

"Thank you for your generosity. I've set out in the last two days, but I don't need help," Wright shook his head. "How did I come and go back. And there are church members who helped me collect the travel expenses, and I can also take the caravan to leave."

Gao Wen took out a blank document from the stack of papers at hand, wrote some things on it, and then wrote the stamp of Duke Cecil while saying, "Go to the commercial area to find the affairs officer there, and the day after tomorrow a caravan will set out to the Holy Spirit Plain, which will take you along. This is your passport."

After taking the document, Wright bowed again to express his gratitude and prepared to say goodbye and leave, but before he left, Gao Wen suddenly stopped him again.

"Cecil will accept the believers of all denominations who have been persecuted and proved innocent," Govin looked into Wright's eyes. "As long as they are willing to abide by the Cecil's rules on faith and obey the rules of the land, the exiled can also be protected here. Can you accept this?"

Wright had little hesitation: "It is also one of the teachings of the Holy Light that protects the innocent in this way."

But then the pastor showed a look of some concern: "But sir... you should know that once you openly accept the exiled people on a large scale, it will greatly stimulate the Church of the Holy Light. Although you have accepted a small group of exiles now, it can still be concealed by the words of refugees. It is a completely different concept to accept the exiled people on a large scale."

"Of course I know," said Gao Wen's face as usual (VR sequelae gradually improved), "but I don't think Cecil needs other people's permission to accept refugees. And I don't believe that the priests who expel refugees will come here from the Holy Spirit Plain for this matter, unless those refugees are really the so-called 'evil gods' and the refugees are exiled for what reasons, I think those priests who collect atonement money know it."

"Since you have plans, I won't say much." Wright looked at Gao Wen's face and swallowed all the dissuasion back. He gave a deep gift in the form of a Holy Light believer and turned around and left the study.

After Wright left, Amber's figure gradually emerged from the window, and the half-elf lady said in a tone: "Although she is a believer in the holy light... but this Wright is quite interesting."

Gao Wen had just sensed Amber coming in, so he was not surprised at all. He just turned his head and glanced at the half-elf: "Have you put the things down?"

"It's ready, and the treasure house gate is also sealed according to the rules of containment," Amber waved his hand, "After that, what do you think of the recent changes in the Church of Holy Light?"

"On the surface, it seems that it was stimulated by the activities of cultists, so it took a fierce 'purification' action, but in fact I think this is just a reasonable, premeditated expansion and embezzlement," Gao Wen snorted softly, "Since the establishment of the Holy Covenant, various sects have maintained peace for seven hundred years, but not everyone hopes to continue so peacefully, and for mortals, eternal peace itself is unlikely. All churches want to develop, expand their influence, and earn glory for their gods, but there are only so many potential believers and lands for missionary preaching, and contradictions are inevitable. I believe that each sect has a heart to become the only one in the world in private, but the divine covenant is always pressing on their heads to make them unable to move, but if there is a chance"

"So the Holy Light Sect can't help it, right?" Amber curled his lips, "It's a simple and easy-to-understand process. But to be honest, are you really not afraid of irritating those priests with brain problems? They are super difficult to deal with!"

Gao Wen smiled slightly, stood up from behind the desk, and slowly walked to the map of the South Land hanging by the wall of the study.

"It's exciting. The Cecil family in the southern part of the country has declined, but before the decline, they have been operating on this land for six hundred years. The instructions I left back then are that the church cannot overcome the royal power. Although the descendants have failed to do their family, at least they did a good job in executing this instruction. This southern part is not the world of their Holy Light Church, nor is it the world of any church!"

Amber blinked and looked at Gao Wen for a few seconds before muttering: "It turns out that in addition to the nonsense that you talked about after drinking with the king, you also left a reliable ancestral teaching... But why did you think of leaving such a command back then? At that time, you thought that the church would develop and threaten local rule?"

"I... didn't have such an unexpected prophecy back then," Gao Wen smiled calmly, but he couldn't help but see what he saw in the Dream Lantern before. The leaders of several major sects were wearing space suits to find the kingdom of God, as well as the degenerate of the Holy Spirit School, the Dream Church, and the Storm Church to the three major dark sects. Finally, what appeared in his mind was Selena Gerfen, who had become the leader of the cult. He sighed softly, "If you have seen the three dark sects seven hundred years ago cause too much turmoil after the sudden fall, you will understand why the kings and lords of our generation were so alert to the uncontrolled church armed forces... Unfortunately, today seven hundred years later, the royal power has not improved much, and the power of each sect is getting stronger day by day, and even the cults are getting stronger day by day."

Amber stood silently beside Gao Wen for a while, and then sighed: "Oh..."

"Why do you sigh?"

"I don't know that I see you sighing and sighing."

“…”

Shortly after that, as the merchants of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce walked around, the secret activities of the military intelligence agencies, a new news quietly spread.

It first spreads in the southern border and then spreads all the way north, and is passed down by word of mouth among those who have been displaced by atonement, heresy judgment, and conversion activities:
