Michaela was seen placing Victor's hand on her own chest.
Zola's brain buzzed, and she froze on the spot.
Soon, she came back to her senses, her cheeks turned as red as apples, she stretched out her hand, pointed at Michaela and asked in confusion:
"You...you...you...what are you doing!?"
"As a bishop of the Church of Abundance and a believer in God, you are so shameless!"
Didn't Mr. Victor say that he already has a fiancée?
So now, what is the behavior of these two people!
When Michaela heard Zola's voice, she turned her head and looked at Zola's blushing face, half smiling.
"Ah."
He whispered softly, but he didn't know how deep the meaning of ridicule was hidden.
Feeling the other party's provocation, Zola felt an unknown anger surge up in her heart.
She lowered the hand covering her eyes and clenched it tightly into a fist.
The Mikaela in front of Mingming didn't say a word, and she even had her eyes covered, as if she were blind.
But she could always feel Michaela's vague gaze and an obvious sense of ridicule.
At this time, Michaela still did not let go of Victor's hands.
Instead, he said naturally:
"Your Excellency Victor has done great things for our Abundance Church. As a bishop, I naturally want to repay him."
"Even if it means giving from myself, I am willing."
It seemed to be telling her that she was even willing to call Victor the godfather of their church. How can you compare with me?
But before she finished speaking, Victor took the initiative to retract his hand.
Feeling that her chest was empty, Michaela obviously didn't expect this change and looked at him in astonishment.
"The joke went a little too far, Bishop Michaela."
Victor looked at her and put his hands in his pockets calmly.
There was rejection in his deep eyes:
"I will not take the side of any god."
The smug smile on Mikaela's face gradually disappeared.
Instead, there was shock and disbelief.
Victor's reply obviously surprised her.
But.....
The miracles that brought the Goddess of Fertility to the world were all accomplished by Victor.
Until now, the streets of Shurburn are still covered with the golden wheat waves of the goddess of fertility.
The deeds of the goddess of justice who appeared in the mage capital have spread throughout the continent.
The scales of the Goddess of Justice have become the symbol of the Council of Mages.
As a result, now, Victor actually said that he would not stand on the side of any god?
No, this is like him having sex with two goddesses and then taking off his pants and not recognizing them.
Zola looked at Michaela's reaction and curled her lips proudly.
The "arrogant bishop" who dared to provoke her just now had a face full of shock.
Just now, I called Victor 'godfather', but now he denies it. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Seeing Michaela deflated made Zola couldn't help but feel happy.
After all, the other party confronted her as soon as she came up.
"As for your affairs over there."
At this time, Victor suddenly turned around and looked at Zola:
"Then let's see how sincere your chamber of commerce is."
When Zola heard this, her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
She saw glimmers of hope, and possible partnerships.
So Zola suppressed her inner excitement and tried her best to pretend to be calm.
He nodded and said quickly:
"Mr. Victor, please rest assured. You are a distinguished guest of our Cassidla Chamber of Commerce."
"We will prepare a satisfactory contract proposal and deliver it to you as soon as possible."
She bowed deeply to Victor.
Beneath the apparent calm, her heartbeat was beating like a chaotic drum.
After that, she looked at Michaela again with raised eyebrows, as if the winner was mocking the loser.
He turned around, walked lightly, and left the scene with self-satisfied satisfaction.
Michaela's face was a little stiff. She watched Zola's back getting further away, then turned back to look at Victor cautiously.
Taking a deep breath, she asked tremblingly:
"V...Mr. Victor."
"You...do you also hope that the gods will not be able to return?"
But why?
She couldn't quite understand.
Why would Victor manipulate the power of the gods and hope they wouldn't come back?
Isn't this somewhat contradictory?
Besides, wouldn’t it be nice to have the gods return?
Michaela recalled the scene when the goddess of fertility appeared in Shurburn, and the streets were filled with golden waves of fertility wheat.
Territory residents took advantage of this agricultural harvest and their lives became more prosperous.
The appearance of the Goddess of Justice in the capital of mages has made many mages strengthen their belief in justice and pursuit of morality.
More and more mages appear among the people, and their willingness to help others allows more people to see the justice and kindness of the Mages Council.
People have more recognition of the Mage Council, and even their previous disgust and indifference towards the Lady of Justice have also improved a lot.
At least the appearances of these two gods have given many people a better experience and life.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
However, Victor's next words directly denied Mikayla's belief.
"The gods don't do these things, they just send down guides of their own teachings."
"The ones who are really doing these things are the believers in the name of gods."
His tone was calm, but his words deeply touched Michaela's heartstrings.
She stood there blankly, as if she had been hit hard, and the belief in her heart was deeply shaken.
A sect is also an organization, and to be an organization, it needs a leader.
Only better leaders can improve the denomination's reputation.
Because gods naturally do not do things directly, they only guide believers to realize their teachings.
But those who can truly bring the sect to the light are the devout believers.
Lady Justice is the most typical negative example.
'Justice' itself is naturally a good concept.
The goddess of justice is known as justice. However, when there are many believers, there will be good and bad in the church.
Some even distort the teachings to fulfill their own evil desires.
Such as those twisted cultists.
They exercise "justice" in the name of the goddess of justice.
In fact, they just found a reasonable excuse to satisfy their twisted and perverted desires.
People are not fools, and the facts will always be revealed before the eyes of the world.
The twisted believers of the Goddess of Justice continue to provoke wars in the name of justice and freedom.
A discerning person can see at a glance that their so-called actions are not justice at all.
Therefore, the reputation of Lady Justice is getting worse and worse.
So, when the goddess of justice appeared in the capital of wizards, the wizards' council took over the 'legitimacy' of the goddess of justice.
The reputation of Lady Justice has changed.
In fact, the Council of Mages has never changed.
The mages who join it always support themselves with high morals and always help the people.
But with the title of Goddess of Justice, their influence has become greater, allowing more people to see their good deeds.
Therefore, these achievements are naturally attributed to gods in the eyes of the world, and more people realize the justice of the goddess of justice.
Her reputation has improved.
After their impression of the Lady of Justice improved, everyone became more convinced that the Lady of Justice was the orthodox member of the Mages' Council.
The same is true for Abundance Church.
Although the apparitions of the Goddess of Fertility brought new hope to many believers.
Her divine power has indeed been of great help to the residents of the Shurburn territory.
But you can only understand it if you go deep into it.
In the final analysis, it still requires contributions from churches like the Church of Abundance that are willing to help people farm.
Divine power is only an auxiliary means.
If a lazy person does nothing, no matter how fertile the land is, he will not be able to grow prosperous wheat out of thin air.
There are naturally only a few people who dedicate themselves selflessly.
This is why the Abundance Church now has less than 2,000 believers left.
There are naturally not so many selfless people in this world.
"The gods are innocent because they do not manage human affairs."
"Their reputation depends entirely on what the people below are doing in their name."
The words fell slowly, but these words kept echoing in Michaela's mind.
Standing where he was, his covered eyes seemed to be seeing far away.
Victor's words gave Michaela a new understanding of this.
All changes come from human actions, not from gods.
Victor glanced at her and paused for a few seconds.
As the whistling cold wind blew their clothes, Victor's calm voice continued:
"But the gods are not innocent."
"It is their fault for witnessing the depravity of believers and doing nothing about it."
A god merely watches and does not interfere with the actions of their respective followers.
This means that the power of gods will be able to be used by anyone.
But once those who have evil thoughts and simply desire power receive blessings from gods,
Continuously bringing disaster and hardship to the world is an extremely wrong behavior in itself.
Even better, it would be better if they really left this world.
At this time, Aurelion and Priscilla walked side by side.
The wedding was over, so the two naturally did not need to stay in the palace for a long time.
Seeing his familiar black windbreaker, Aurelion had a smile on her face:
"Teacher! You are here!"
"We should go!"
Seeing the two girls walking side by side, Victor nodded lightly.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at Michaela, and finally said:
"When will you truly understand the concept of God."
"Call me godfather again."
As he finished speaking, the wind gradually picked up, blowing his windbreaker.
Victor walked in the direction of leaving.
The moment he passed by Michaela, he lowered his voice and said casually:
“Plus, it feels good.”
"I still like the teachings of the Goddess of Fertility."
Listening to his words, Michaela turned back in shock.
But Victor, who should have appeared behind him, suddenly disappeared.
There was only a slight breeze, which blew past her on the balcony.
The strong wind blew her long hair, flying freely in the air.
The veil covering his eyes also fluttered in the wind, flying towards an unknown direction.
Under the night, Michaela's mysterious and bright eyes blinked like stars.
The twinkling stars in her eyes seemed to echo the doubts in her heart.
