As soon as it dawned, a fast horse rushed into New Ross City from the north, heading straight for the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny without stopping.
A few minutes later, Bishop Fowler was awakened from his deep sleep by a knock on the door.
He put on the divine robe and opened the door. Before he could ask what happened, the divine servant Ernest spit on his face: "Bishop! Oh no, something big has happened! We are sent out to monitor him." All 300 knights in the Kennedy Manor were wiped out!
! "
"..."
Perhaps because he had just gotten up, or perhaps because he was stunned by the spittle, Bishop Fowler stood there for a long time before asking: "What did you say?"
"Killian! Killian Kennedy is extraordinary!
! "
Bishop Fowler's face suddenly collapsed. He didn't even bother to get dressed. He hurriedly walked out of the room and came to the church, where he found Father Satuk and others already here.
Everyone, like him, had confusion on their faces, knowing what had happened but not the reason.
Adams, the servant of God who reported his survival, was kneeling on the ground covered in blood. Something penetrated his right thigh and he was bleeding profusely. The doctor was bandaging him.
As soon as he saw Bishop Fowler, Adams said with red eyes: "Bishop! Killian Kennedy is an extraordinary person who has received the gift of the goddess! He can use a very strange white magic, we...we are no match for him! "
"Where's Warren?"
"Sacrifice...sacrifice..."
Bishop Fowler staggered back, and would have fallen had it not been for the quick eyesight and quick hands of the servant of God Ernest to catch him.
He didn't feel sorry for Warren, but for the 300 church knights he brought with him. These knights were trained from childhood with a lot of money, and each one was hard-earned. There were only 1,500 in the entire County of Wexford. How could he not feel distressed if he lost one-fifth of it?
The servants of the branch church are not qualified to receive the goddess's gift. It's not that they can't, but that they don't have matching magic weapons. Even if they get the gift, they can't use it.
In the entire Wexford diocese, there are only a dozen believers who own magic weapons, scattered in various churches, and only priests and above can possess them.
Mainly because the arrival of the gods did not last long, the kingdom was unable to mass-produce too many magic weapons in a short period of time, and the first batch of magic weapons produced were all supplied to the army and used in the war against the Romanov Kingdom. , as a remote area of New Ross City, there is not much natural allocation.
otherwise...
How could Warren and the others be unable to fight back? !
"bishop."
Father Sartuk came to Bishop Fowler and said in a deep voice: "We have investigated Killian Kennedy's information and determined that he is a living human being and not a supernatural being who suddenly awakens. In this case, he must have come from Somewhere blessed by the gods.”
"I know, I know..." Bishop Fowler sat on a chair nearby, took a few breaths and said, "But he is a member of the Free Association! The Free Association does not believe in the church, they have their own system of gods!"
"What if...if Killian Kennedy had received a divine gift..."
"It means that the god that the Free Association believes in has also arrived!"
According to the rules of the Free Association, members who join them must believe in the existence of gods. However, except for themselves, no one knows what gods they believe in. It is different from the three goddesses of destiny, the god of wisdom, and the god of judgment. Gods are different, their gods hide in the dark!
"They have no doctrine at all! How can a god be born!"
With his teeth grinding together, Bishop Fowler banged the table and said angrily: "They are just a bunch of stinking ditch rats chasing fame and wealth under the banner of freedom! What kind of god can be born? The god of wealth? But the god of wealth? God is the great Nand!”
"Either there is another possibility." Father Satuk said: "Killian Kennedy is actually a believer of a certain church, not a member of the Free Association. We were misled by the intelligence provider."
"Crow! Yes! Crow!"
Adams, the servant in black who had just bandaged his wound and stood up with difficulty, suddenly said: "Bishop, Father, during the battle, the man next to Killian summoned many red-eyed crows to attack us!"
crow?
Bishop Fowler's eyelids twitched, and he began to think about which church regarded the crow as a messenger or symbol. He thought for a long time, but he had no clue.
On the contrary, the face of the servant of God Ernest changed slightly. The panic flashed in his eyes, and he soon returned to calm. No one noticed his strange behavior.
"This matter is not trivial and must be reported..."
Bishop Fowler stood up and planned to pray to Wilder, the goddess of health, and report the strange events that occurred at the Kennedy Manor. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly paused, turned around and asked, "Where is Killian Kennedy now? Still at the manor?" In?"
"No more..." Adams shook his head: "I was injured and passed out after falling off my horse. When I woke up, the Kennedy Manor was empty. Except for the servants, all family members disappeared. I grabbed a maid who was packing her things and planning to escape. After asking, I learned that they were planning to flee to the United States of Citi!"
If possible, Adams would never want to set foot on the land of the Kennedy Manor again, but he knew in his heart that the death of 300 knights and Warren must have a result, otherwise he would not end well, so he had the courage to take a gamble .
It turns out that he made the right bet and successfully obtained a key piece of information.
"The United States of Citi?" Father Satuk asked in surprise: "The United States of Citi does not have its own church, so why go there?"
"It shows that the information provided by the mysterious person may be true. Killian Kennedy is not a church member. He is indeed a member of the Free Association. That's why he went to the United States of Citi, which declared independence, to escape sanctions."
Bishop Fowler waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and strode into the oracle room filled with candles.
..................................................
"Killian Kennedy ran away?!"
Not only Bishop Fowler was woken up, but Ma Wei didn't sleep enough to wake up naturally this morning.
Maomao, who was responsible for monitoring the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, sent back the information. Fat Orange immediately jumped on the bed and slapped Ma Wei awake with his flesh palm.
After hearing about the events at Kennedy Manor, Mavey was shocked and had much the same reaction as Bishop Fowler.
Bishop Fowler is not sure whether Killian is a member of the Free Association, but Ma Wei is sure!
He had received an invitation from the Free Association. Although he declined, before rejecting, he still made a circumstantial inquiry about the internal situation of the Free Association, and the answer given by the inviter was...
The Free Association believes in the existence of God, but they have no doctrine, and members do not need to believe in gods, as long as they believe in the existence of God.
It's that simple.
This kind of organization without rules, systems or even order actually gave birth to gods?
Their god...
Was it born out of faith?
Simply incredible!
This is completely opposite to Ma Wei’s previous conclusion that gods rely on faith!
Fat Orange pointed at the bat hanging upside down on the roof and said, "Edward, it seems that he did not awaken through faith."
The bat opened its eyes, fell in the air, and turned into Edward. He replied noncommittally: "I should have been awakened. I don't know the identity of the other party, but in the place where I woke up..."
"There were many carcasses of crows."
