As an elf, Amber has been ashamed of being a elves for a long time. Gao Wen has long adapted to this guy's style of being arrogant and going astray when he has the chance. And he knew that many times Amber did this just to make the atmosphere easier.

This half-elf doesn't like the atmosphere of being too serious and depressing, and he is indeed too serious and depressing after communicating with Veronica/Ophelia.

On the second day, the ancient city of San Sunil ushered in a new day in the brilliant sunshine.

The wounds left by this giant beast in the war still need to heal slowly, but every survivor will gradually recover as the city continues its steady state. The blockade line on the plain has closed, pushing the war far away from the city. In the city, the two guardian dukes have begun to further restore the city's functions and have begun to summon nobles, scholars, merchant representatives, etc. to prepare for the establishment of the empire.

After receiving a group of royal scholars, Gao Wen returned to the study at Baiyinbao.

After waiting for a while, a steady and powerful footsteps came from the door, and the tall and strong Patriarch Wright appeared at the door of the study: "Sir, are you looking for me?"

——Although the plan to establish the Cecil Empire has been finalized, Gowen has not been publicly crowned, so except for a few people, most of the people who have followed him for a long time are still used to calling him in their original ways.

Gao Wen glanced at Wright, and Wright's stand-in-Light - Emily was emerging from behind Wright and greeted Amber and Gowen politely.

"Sit down, I have something to discuss with you about the Church of Holy Light," Gowen nodded to the substitute messenger, the Patriarch, and then turned his head to instruct Amber, "instruct the guards and attendants, and from now on, don't let people come to the study to disturb me."

When Wright sat down on the high-backed chair next to the desk, Gao Wen opened the magic net terminal on the table. While waiting for the response from the other side, he casually said: "Now we have entered Saint-Sunil, and the Cathedral is essentially under our control. What do you think?"

"... Considering the actual situation, we cannot violently destroy the northern church, nor can we treat believers who have violently done the missionary to violently treat the believers of the old doctrines, but the teachings of the northern churches are destined to be opposite," Wright said in a deep voice. "If conditions permit, we should find a way to transform the northern church, starting from the right to interpret classics and bishops' power, so that the northern church can accept the new doctrine and integrate with the southern church. If conditions do not allow it... we may have to face the reality of the division between the north and the south of the Holy Light for a long time, and divide a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain balance and avoid the intensification of contradictions."

Gao Wen looked up and down at the powerful Damasuke of Kong Wu: "You are thinking about problems more and more like a real religious leader."

Perhaps because he became the great pagan and had a different perspective and way of thinking, this white knight, who was born in a low-level priest, no longer only knew how to preach and pursue the holy light, but began to have some practical views based on the overall situation. In Gao Wen's opinion, this is a good thing.

Wright just smiled and his expression was quiet and simple: "It's just that after sitting in this seat, I saw more people. The Holy Light taught me that I should match my strength with responsibility and my status with responsibility, so I had to think about the problem from the perspective of more people. To be honest, I am still not good at dealing with these... I should thank Seven Terry for the help of the priests."

"Sevin... are several progressive priests in Lu'an City," Gao Wen thought for a while and recalled the name, "How did they perform in the Southern Church? Have they adapted to the new teachings?"

"Everyone is very adaptable. At the beginning, he could only hold a weight of three kilometers. Now Sain can kill the bear with one punch after carrying a weight of five kilometers."

Gao Wen: "?"

Wright suddenly laughed: "They are civilians and do not need to adapt to the training of warriors - they have adapted to the new teachings and are trying to re-find their own path to the Holy Light. After receiving the new teachings, the progressive priests and priests in Lu'an had different degrees of declining the Holy Light, but the existence of the White Knights itself inspired the belief of these people. They did not lose all the Holy Light as I did in the first place. I believe that the decline of these brothers and sisters is only temporary, and one day they will find the way again."

Gao Wen's expression only recovered. He was surprised that Wright would make such a joke now - because Wright's own style is rough and the unique selection criteria of the White Knights, even within the Cecil Legion often jokes that the standard of employment of the Southern Pastor is whether he can kill the bear. This joke has obviously been heard by the Pastor, but the Pastor himself seems to be quite happy.

In addition to surprise, Gao Wen also confirmed another thing: the clergy in the southern border did decline to varying degrees due to their wavering of faith and betrayal of the Holy Light God, but due to the existence of the White Knight, their decline did not touch the bottom like Wright at the time.

This may show some characteristics of the "spiritual seal" from the side.

It does come from the hearts of the people and acts on them, but it can also be influenced by the surrounding environment and by the group.

Of course, it is also possible that the clergy in the southern realm were not completely despairing at the God of Holy Light like Wright at the time. There may still be a trace of awe of the God of Holy Light in their hearts, which led to the fact that their power of Holy Light did not completely decline.

In short, no matter what the reason is, it requires long-term observation and testing when it comes to the issue of spiritual seals, and Gao Wen is not in a hurry to do so.

While speaking, the magic net terminal on the desk suddenly buzzed, and then an illusory projection condensed above the projection crystal.

Carmire's figure appeared in front of Gowen and Wright.

The ancient mage bent down slightly to pay tribute to Gawain.

"Very good, now all people are here," Gowen nodded, then stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic, "I call you two today because of an incident involving both the Church of the Holy Light and the ancient Gondor Empire."

"At the same time, involve contemporary churches and ancient empires?" Carmier's voice did not hide his curiosity, "What happened?"

Gao Wen said lightly: "Ophelia Norton, do you know this name?"

After hearing this name, Carmier was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, of course, I have not only heard of it, but also seen her - Princess Ophelia is a member of the royal family of Gugondor. She herself is also a talented magician. Part of the disobedient plan is her own responsibility... Why did you suddenly mention this name? As one of the executors of the disobedient plan, His Highness Ophelia is not active on the political stage, and there should be no record in history. The age of her survival is three hundred years lower than that of you and a thousand years lower than that of the present..."

Gao Wen's face was deep and solemn, and his heart was fluctuating.

Member of the Gugundor royal family, one of the highest leaders in disobeying the plan!!

The plan of disobedience was the most important confidential plan of the Gondor Empire in the Spark Period. From the beginning, this plan was controlled by the Gondor royal family. Therefore, after hearing the surname of Ophelia Norton, Gao Wen had some guesses about her identity, but no matter how speculation was, he heard the exact information from a real ancient man at this moment, and the impact in his heart was still quite large!

"She's now name is Veronica Moen," he breathed a sigh of relief, and he startled Carmier in the communicator and Wright beside him, "She is in the Cathedral of Holy Light and is ready to announce the news of the martyrdom of the Pope and the Bishops in three hours."

"Holy Light..." Wright showed a shocked expression on his face. The impact of this news was so great that he did not realize that the Northern Church had suffered a severe blow that was definitely good news for the Southern Church. Emily floating behind him even felt the surging of the Holy Light around him. The little girl disappeared immediately, and then poked out half of her head in the ripples formed by the holy light, and looked around carefully.

Carmire's whole body turned purple-a sign of extreme shock: "Is the news reliable? Where did you get the information?"

"She told you personally, and accurately told you about your origin and his plan of disobedience," said Gao Wen, and concisely told her experience in the Cathedral of Holy Light last night, and told the cooperation request made by the disobedience who called himself "Ophelia Norton", and at the end he attached some of her own conjectures. "I think there is a bigger truth behind her. The things that have survived to this day may be more than we imagined - she refers to herself with 'we', which may mean that the original Ophelia Norton has split into several souls through some ancient magic, and the so-called Veronica Moen is just one of the temporary carriers used by the split souls."

"This guess is very likely..." Carmier pondered and said cautiously after some thought, "I suggest you treat this disobedient with caution - even if her identity is true, you must be vigilant enough, keep enough distance and never trust it."

Gowen glanced at Carmier: "I thought that as a disobedient, you would have more affection and trust in that 'princess'. After all, in a sense, she is your former boss."

“I do have some prior trust and affection for His Highness Ophelia, who is also a disobedient, but before that, I am your adviser and scholar first,” Carmier buzzed, “I must warn you about potential risks, especially that this risk may be very large.”

"Tell me about your concerns."

"The plan of disobedience is the most extreme and bold plan since the birth of mortals. The disobedience is a group of extremes who try to ensure the continuation of human beings by stealing, distorting and even controlling the power of gods. Paranoid, extreme and delusion are the qualities of disobedience. We do have lofty goals and firm minds, and the initial starting point is very good, but the long time and the inherent paranoia of mankind can easily distort these good factors," Carmier said of his concerns, "As you said, His Highness Ophelia Norton has survived for a thousand years, and seven hundred of them were spent in the human kingdom in the form of a boarding soul after the destruction of the Gondor Empire. Then this long and heterogeneous life has definitely had a profound impact on her..."

Speaking of this, Carmel paused, with a serious tone: "I can't imagine what a human being will become after a thousand years of such a life. She may be a saint who transcends the spiritual will of mortals, but she may be a madman."

Gao Wen touched his chin and thought, "You have also experienced a thousand years, and in worse situations - you are blocked in the fortress of the Shadow World."

"Yes, then you must have not forgotten that I was half-crazy," said Carmier. "And my body has been reshaped into a spirit body, no longer affected by various nerve signals and hormones of flesh and blood. In a sense, my mental state has been semi-solid, and my strength is greater than that of humans of flesh and blood. And His Highness Ophelia... She lives in different flesh and blood bodies, and it is hard to say what changes have happened to her mental state over the long years."

"So do you have a negative attitude towards Ophelia's cooperation requirement?"

"...It's not exactly the case," Carmier changed the subject. "Her cooperation is still of great value, not only because she now controls the Cathedral of St. Sunil, but also because she has knowledge that we don't understand. It is also necessary for us to understand the changes in the Church of the Holy Light in the past few years and understand what she wants to do with the hands of the Church of the Holy Light. I am just giving you suggestions and listing all the risks for your reference."

Gao Wen nodded slightly and looked at Wright on the other side.

"What about your opinion?"

Wright has been thinking for a while. Faced with Gao Wen’s problem, he said in a deep voice: “…I think I can cooperate, sir.”
