"Welcome back."
In the preaching hall, Ma Wei looked at the returning Babas and Yaga and smiled.
Saka, the leader of the tree spirit tribe, was one step faster than them. He rushed into the church, went directly to Ma Wei, and asked about the green melon seeds.
"Pope Mavey! This...this green melon seed, where did you get it?!" Saka was so excited that he approached Mavey like a treasure hunter who saw the jewelry.
"I said that the Truth Church will definitely be able to provide you with what you need." Ma Wei took a sip of the black tea and said slowly: "Are you satisfied with this return gift?"
"Satisfied! Satisfied! I feel the breath of my ancestors on it!"
Ancestor?
Green melon seeds are produced by Ailan, and Ailan is fused with the seeds of the Alchemy God Tree. Judging from the lifespan of the tree spirits, does the ancestor mentioned by Saka refer to the Alchemy God Tree?
Does the Alchemy Sacred Tree also have descendants?
Speaking of which, the "Album of Alien Beasts" left behind by the Apocalypse Divine Sect does not contain any secrets about the birth of extraordinary races.
The Blood Tribe, the Seran Tribe, the Dryad Tribe, the Chimorra Tribe...no one seems to know how they were born.
The Night Wolf clan that appeared near Yin'ermen Lake is a human wolf because of the alienation of the human body due to the wolf-headed crow. However, the origin of the widely circulated 'werewolf', that is, the Sun Wolf clan, is also unclear. No one knows.
Combining the information provided by Bagji before, Ma Wei felt that these extraordinary races were probably created by the ancient gods. After all, the ancient god Ashis, who dominated the ocean, created the Sea People, Haigma People and Whale People... .
Wouldn't it be possible to form a virtuous cycle by relying on the ancient gods who devoured the growing power to create these extraordinary races, and then devouring the outstanding ones born among them?
According to this, these extraordinary races are probably on the side of the ancient gods, but...
Mawei is not worried about this.
He believed that the truth would slowly change these extraordinary races.
"Chief Saka, Chief Babas, and Chief Yaga, are you willing to sign a contract with the Church of Truth?"
"Yes! As long as Pope Mawei allows me to see my ancestors, I am willing to do anything!" Saka said without thinking.
】
Yaga, wrapped in black cloth, twisted and glanced at Babas beside him, as if waiting for its response.
"Of course there is no problem signing the contract, but..."
Babas glanced at Edward, Luo Jin and others who were standing behind Ma Wei, and said hesitantly: "The structure of the church is too complicated and has many forces. No one knows what changes will happen in the future, and the contract cannot be betrayed. You have to be extremely cautious.”
"Your Excellency means..."
"I, the leader of the Snake Tribe, Babas, am willing to sign a separate contract with Pope Marvey. The signers of this contract are you and me, and only you and me. If one day in the future you are overthrown, or I die. , the contract will be invalidated, what about it?"
The private contract targets only Ma Wei and Babas, just like Party A and Party B on the contract are not a certain company, but two certain legal representatives.
Whether it is Edward, Bei Yin, the leader of the Seran tribe, or Luo Jin of the Nightwolf tribe, they all signed private contracts with Ma Wei. Both parties in the contract have a single goal, not a huge group like the church or the ethnic group.
In other words, if one day Ma Wei is gone, or if Edward, Bei Yin, and Luo Jin no longer lead the clan for various reasons, this contract will lose its validity.
And Ma Wei cannot use a contract to bind a certain ethnic group, only the leader of the ethnic group, and vice versa.
Ma Wei is not worried about the betrayal of the extraordinary races who have signed a private contract. The biggest difference between the Church of Truth and these extraordinary races lies in the level of strength.
The leader of an extraordinary race like the Blood Tribe is definitely the most powerful being in the race. He has absolute command and leadership over the race. His power is completely concentrated and he can restrain his own people.
But for an organization with a complicated system like the church, it requires extremely high prestige to restrain its subordinates. As the pope of the Mavikai sect, prestige is absolutely sufficient. The problem is...
If one day Ma Wei grows old and abdicates, this contract will naturally be invalidated. If Ma Wei dies in the turmoil, these extraordinary races can leave the church without any restrictions!
This is a very big hidden danger. It will have no short-term impact, but we are very afraid of accidents.
When an accident occurs, the consequences can be catastrophic.
Realizing this, Mawei has begun to decentralize power intentionally or unintentionally. He gave power to early members such as Dino, Letter, and Christopher in order to reduce the power of the Pope.
But even though he dispersed the power, the whole church still obeyed his orders. Just because he was the founding pope, the early members who gained power, such as Dino, Laiwen, Christopher, and Fat Orange, were of the same mind as him, so it seemed that power was dispersed. , but actually still in his hands.
As Daniel said, Ma Wei is currently the link that maintains the entire church. After all, the Church of Truth has only been established for a short period of time. The members are not familiar with each other and their beliefs are not fully consolidated. They need a soul figure to unite them.
If Mawei falls, who can take over as pope and continue to maintain the development of the church?
As of now....
I'm afraid there is no suitable replacement.
Junia is a goddess, she can influence the church, but the existence of the Pope cannot be ignored.
Especially extraordinary races like Edward, Bei Yin, and Luo Jin whose beliefs are not firm enough. They help the Church of Truth because Ma Wei made a promise and because the contractual relationship exists. In their hearts, Yunia's prestige is far less than Ma Wei. , and will not obey Yunia's orders.
Ma Wei wants to solve this hidden problem, but leaders such as Edward, Bei Yin, Luo Jin and Babas seem to only trust him.
What Babas said is actually correct. A huge organization like the church is very susceptible to change. The church a hundred years ago may be completely different from the church a hundred years from now. Individual humans are more reliable and have lower risks than the church.
What they believe in is not only Ma Wei's moral integrity and his integrity, but more importantly, their recognition of Ma Wei's abilities.
Why is the strong Yu Qiang?
Because the strength of a strong person is a kind of proof in itself, and it is easier for others to recognize them and join them.
If it were the Church of Truth in New Ross City, would the Snake Tribe and Dryad Tribe form an alliance with Ma Wei?
Maybe, maybe not.
No one can tell.
Ma Wei was silent for a long time and said slowly: "There is no problem in signing a private contract with me, but I hope you will sign the same contract with Yunia. She is my daughter and the goddess of truth. She has already understood the truth of integrity. , I trust her completely, just like you trust me."
Babas looked at Yunia, who was sitting next to Ma Wei with a cute and innocent face. His sinister eyes flashed with helplessness: "Pope Ma Wei, I sincerely sign a contract with you. As long as the conditions you propose are not too harsh, I will definitely agree, but..."
"well."
Babas sighed and said what was in his heart: "It's not that I don't trust the Goddess of Truth, it's just that she doesn't seem to have the strength to support an entire church. Her power is strong enough and she is a veritable deity, but Other aspects... are still somewhat unsatisfactory.”
"If you, Pope Marvel, fall before she grows up, I guess there is no need to maintain this contract, right?"
The attitude is very tactful and the meaning is very clear.
Babas is not optimistic about the Church of Truth that has lost Ma Wei, especially before the goddess of truth has grown up in all aspects, the Church of Truth is actually full of crises and has many hidden dangers.
I'm afraid there is no church like the Church of Truth. Almost all its prestige is concentrated in one person, and it can be united by just one person.
This is an inevitable drawback caused by the rapid development of the Church of Truth.
In less than a year, the Truth Church has developed into the behemoth it is today. Many aspects have no time to be perfected. It must be digested over time to eliminate hidden dangers and gradually stabilize.
To put it bluntly, the Church of Truth needs time to settle, and before the precipitation is completed, Ma Wei is crucial. His life and death are related to the survival of the church.
This is by no means an exaggeration, but a fair assessment.
"So, as long as Yunia grows up, you will sign a contract with her, right?"
"Yes, you can understand it this way." Babas nodded.
"That's it...Okay, I agree to your request."
After much thought, Ma Wei agreed.
He knew his importance to the church and knew that nothing could happen to him. Even so, he still did not cancel or postpone his plan to return to the Kingdom of Windsor.
The current international situation faced by the Romanov Kingdom is extremely severe, and there is not much time left for the Church of Truth. Therefore, Ma Wei must go all out to solve domestic problems...
Open up a way out for the church and find a way to break the situation!
