Locke Empire, Kilsolo Bay, Sergei Town.
Before returning to Sergei Town, after a heated discussion, everyone on the White Pearl agreed with the idea of establishing the Holy Church, and established the basic organizational structure and religious rules.
Kevin, who was in charge of the Holy Bible, took up the post of pope. This was the highest position in the Holy See and was responsible for all matters of the Holy See.
Olivia, who had mastered the Dawn Stone and could communicate with the God of Light and Truth through it, became the saintess of the Holy Church, second only to the pope.
Robin, who had the Spear of Judgment, became the captain of the Judgement Knights. The crew members of the White Pearl who had been baptized by the God of Light and condensed their combat energy seeds had undoubtedly joined the ranks of the Judgement Knights.
Other than that, there were also bishops, elders, priests, preachers, deacons, and other positions. However, due to the lack of personnel, they were still temporarily vacant.
Since the God of Light and Truth did not like to be knelt down, the first rule of the church was to exempt the kneeling ceremony. Adding the other rules, there were a total of eighteen rules that needed to be gradually perfected. At the same time, a guy who used to be a musician before he went to the sea wrote a hymn praising the God of Light and Truth," God Descends the World."
After returning to Sergei Town, the members of the Holy Church sold their properties and gathered a large amount of money. They bought the warhorses needed by the Judgement Knights and a simple manor as a temporary residence for the Holy Church. In the evening, they practiced their warrior energy and divine arts. During the day, they spread the noble teachings of the Holy Church.
Sergei Town was the hometown of Kelvin and the others. They naturally knew the situation here very well. With the Holy Virgin Olivia performing divine spells to cure diseases for free, the Pope Kelvin summoning the wind and rain to show miracles, and the Judgement Knights maintaining local security and cracking down on local ruffians, in two or three days, everyone in Sergei Town had become believers of the Holy Church and believed in the God of Light and Truth.
The Holy Bible of Light also began to spread. The people of Sergei Town would read and pray for half an hour according to the contents of the book. A bright but not dazzling soft light would appear in front of their eyes.
Seeing this gentle light, everyone instantly felt their hearts become incomparably peaceful and tranquil. It was as if they had forgotten their fears and worries and returned to their benefactor's embrace. After that, they all felt refreshed and energetic. They even had the energy to work.
This phenomenon greatly promoted the spread of the God of Light and Truth's faith. There were no false believers in Sergei Town, only shallow believers. There were many true believers.
Regarding the construction of the Radiant Church, there were even some wealthy families who took the initiative to donate money. Those who did not have money were also willing to contribute to the construction of the Radiant Church.
The success of the preaching in Sergei Town made the members of the Holy Church excited and happy. This was because they were fulfilling the orders of the God of Light and Truth, allowing hope and dawn to shine in every place where life reached. They did not dare to be complacent, and they recruited people with good character to join the Holy Church. They trained them into bishops, preachers, priests, knights, and other clergymen. They taught meditation techniques, divine arts, combat qi, martial arts, and other extraordinary knowledge. He wanted them to become independent members as soon as possible, and at the same time, he wanted to use Sergei Town as a starting point to spread his religion to the surrounding towns and cities.
A single spark could start a prairie fire!
The Holy Church's preaching could only be described as smooth sailing. The nobles of this world monopolized knowledge, official positions, and even land. The commoners and slaves lived a very difficult life, and they were also exploited and oppressed by the nobles. They didn't have many opportunities, and their descendants were the same. Their future was full of confusion, and they desperately needed a spiritual sustenance to water their dry hearts.
Therefore, the teachings of the Holy Church were first accepted by the lowest class of society, especially when they prayed according to the method taught by the missionary. It could refresh their minds and get rid of fatigue. After seeing the various magical abilities of the members of the Holy Church, it was said that they believed in the God of Light and Truth. In the future, they would have the opportunity to enter the Holy Church and become clergymen. After learning all kinds of extraordinary knowledge, the fire of faith had been unable to be suppressed and burned throughout the area of Kirsolo Bay.
This was not only faith, but also an opportunity to change fate and break the dawn!
There was no need for the preachers to spread the teachings everywhere. Many believers had already taken the initiative to travel all over the world to help spread the teachings. When the method of prayer spread, a large number of people who had tried it took the initiative to believe in the God of Light and Truth.
For a time, the Holy Church's preaching business was flourishing, and in less than half a month, there were nearly 500,000 followers.
In Pamir Manor, Sergei Town, Kilsolo Bay, Pope Kevin was discussing matters with Robin, the leader of the Judgement Knights, when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Kevin made a pause gesture and said to the outside.
With a creak, the door opened. Olivia, who had changed from her usual tight-fitting clothes to a platinum dress, walked in with a pure and holy expression on her beautiful face.
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
Although Olivia used to tease her cousin and call him by his name, they were now clergymen and naturally could not be the same as before.
"It's the Saintess. Look at you in a hurry. Did something happen?”Kevin asked curiously.
Olivia nodded solemnly." I've just received news that Earl Pardrich has sent people to beat up and chase away our priests. He has also ordered that civilians are forbidden from worshipping His Majesty, the God of Light and Truth. He has also issued a notice to forbid all religious activities in the world. He has ordered the Holy Church to disband within ten days, or else he will take tough measures.”
Kevin and Robin looked at each other, and their expressions became serious. Count Pardrich was one of the hereditary counts of the Rock Empire, and Kilsolo Bay was one of his territories. This man was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to their preaching.
Kevin was silent for a moment and said,
" In this era, slaves have to kneel down when they see their masters. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Just our first rule has seriously violated the interests of the nobles. Under the conflict of interests, contradictions are inevitable. This is something I have already expected.”
"The Church exists to spread the glory of the God of Light and Truth, bringing hope and light to this world. It will not be disbanded for any reason or difficulty.”Robin spoke in a low voice, containing an unwavering will.
Olivia agreed." Of course. However, Count Pardrich is only pressuring us now. In ten days, he might use force to threaten us. Even if we defeat Count Pardrich, we'll have to face the entire ruling class of the Locke Empire. We need to be prepared for this!”
"Later, I will invite all the higher-ups of the Holy See to discuss this matter together."
Kevin took a deep breath, then raised his hand and clenched his fist." No matter how dangerous the future is, Kevin is willing to give up everything for the will of the God of Light and Truth. And I always believe that a little light will win!”
Olivia and Robin also raised their hands and clenched their fists. They smiled and their voices were filled with confidence.
"Light will win!"
