"The God of War seems to be the least concerned about the outside world among all the gods, but in fact, he has been monitoring the world."
A badge engraved with an iron sword and blood appeared in Huang Yi's hand. He was half-relying on the sofa with a dim expression. "Most people believe that the God of War longs for power, and he has always closed himself in pursuit of powerful power. But the truth is Yes, war is His power. If he wants to become more powerful, he must provoke war in the world."
"Although there were conflicts between countries at that time, due to the problems of economic globalization, these conflicts were far from enough to become the trigger of war."
Playing with the badge in his hand, Huang Yi sighed and said, "He has actually gone crazy a long time ago. In fact, the exchange I had with him twenty years ago was the last time."
At that time, Huang Yi felt that the human body had its limits, but he had no magical props that could make him become a vampire without being human, so he chose to pray to the gods.
Unexpectedly, the God of War responded to him.
【Grant you to become a god】
These five simple words made Huang Yi feel unexpectedly ecstatic. He never thought that his prayers would really be answered by the gods. The most important thing is that he would make himself a god.
For Huang Yi, who was thirsty for power at the time, this result was simply a surprise from heaven. For him, nothing could be happier than this.
However, he did not accept it, but chose to consider it.
Not because he loves nothing more than saying no to self-righteous people. The reason why Huang Yi rejected this option was because he had one thing he couldn't do.
marry.
Yes, get married.
Huang Yi once felt that he was invincible and martial arts was very boring. When he was nineteen years old, he put on a poor disguise and began challenging martial artists in Tarik territory. Within a year, Huang Yi was victorious in every battle, which made him once think that he was invincible.
Then he was taught a lesson by an unattractive middle-aged man in his forties. Huang Yi still remembered that when the middle-aged man pushed him to the ground and beat him, he did not forget to report what he was doing to his wife, and even He said he was going to throw his left fist in one second. Even with such multitasking, Huang Yi still couldn't beat him. Finally, Huang Yi asked the man why he was so powerful before he left.
"Because I have a wife."
Huang Yi could never forget the pity in the middle-aged man's eyes when he looked at him.
"A young boy like you will never understand in this life."
It's not that Huang Yi has never lost before, but this was the first time that he was beaten into a dog after he achieved great success and was ridiculed in such a way that directly hit his soul. After being ridiculed, Huang Yi began to think about a question.
Does he become stronger now that he has a family?
Obviously, there is no such film and television work in this world as [Cao Cao with white face versus Zhang Fei with tight chin and white man]. They don’t know that orphans have certain blessings on combat effectiveness. Therefore, Huang Yi chose to pursue the person he liked.
This was the issue that angered both humans and gods about Huang Yi. At that time, Huang Yi relied on the rare wisdom of the War Church to gain the attention of the pope at that time and became a minor priest. In less than a year, Huang Yi became the right-hand man of the Pope at that time. A year later, Huang Yi directly pursued the then-Jiaohua, the Pope's daughter.
If Huang Yi hadn't really been able to fight, those reckless men from the Church of War who had necks growing out of their muscles would have put a sack on him and sunk him into the river. Soon, Huang Yi entered into marriage with the pope's daughter.
"Then I forgot about the God of War."
Wiping his face vigorously, Huang Yi looked at the incredulous people and repeated, "Yes, I forgot about the God of War."
Huang Yi's wife can be said to be the wonder of the Church of War. She is knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and considerate. It seems that all the good things that are completely incompatible with the words "Church of War" are embodied in her. With such gentle thought, can Huang Yi stop it?
It has fallen long ago.
Therefore, Huang Yi was so immersed in the gentle countryside that he completely forgot about praying to the God of War.
"back
Come, my father-in-law received a divine revelation during a prayer. "
Taking a deep breath, the originally relaxed and nostalgic light in Huang Yi's eyes dimmed, "God said that becoming a god is inevitable."
"At that time, my father-in-law told me that after the god said these words, he fell into silence and gave no further instructions. But I knew that this was a warning."
Huang Yi spread his hands and said calmly: "The story after that is very simple. I didn't want to become a god, and the God of War threatened me with the lives of my father-in-law and wife. I gave in, but at the critical moment of becoming a god, they Saved me. As a result, they came into contact with the truth told by the God of War, went crazy, and I killed them."
Huang Yi's tone was very relaxed, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter. But everyone understands that this incident is an indelible scar for Huang Yi, which has been bleeding, but he hid it very well.
"call."
Zhou Li nodded. He didn't say too many words and didn't ask further questions. Because his doubts have been completely cleared up.
"Want to go with me tomorrow?"
Looking at Huang Yi in front of him, Zhou Liyi said pointedly: "It's possible that something will happen that you want to see but don't want to see."
Huang Yi was silent. He might have understood what Zhou Li meant, or he might just be hesitating. After a long while, he sighed deeply, raised his head, closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "Go."
"I really want to know what the truth is that drives so many people and gods crazy."
***************************
"Something's wrong..."
Late at night, Bai Qin looked at the document in his hand and saw something was wrong.
The roster...no changes.
There have been no changes in all positions of believers, no transfers or retirements. The last few pages of the entire personnel list are all blank, without any transfer records.
"How can this be?"
The more she looked, the more panicked Bai Qin became. Only then did she realize that the red tape she had been ignoring turned out to be so burdensome in her own hands. Only then did she realize that she had been neglecting her responsibilities for many years. Over the years, she had published countless papers on elements, but she had never taken a look at her church.
"All personnel changes in the church have been blocked. I reported this to you five years ago. You said you don't need to worry about it."
At this time, a man wearing a gray robe, with a handsome face but full of white hair walked in. He looked at Bai Qin, frowned and said, "You are the Pope of the church. If you are so flustered, what will other believers think if they see you?"
"Who blocked it?"
Bai Qin took a deep breath, calmed down and asked: "There have been no personnel changes in five years, and the number of believers has never increased or decreased. This is not consistent with common sense at all."
"Yes, it's not common sense."
The man slowly walked to the opposite side of the long table, pulled out a chair and sat on it, "Guess, what is the ratio of the entire church's expenditure to income so far?"
Bai Qin was stunned. After a moment, she shook her head in shame, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention."
"one."
Holding out a finger, the man stated a terrible fact in a calm tone, "One to one."
"This is not an estimate, it is accurate data to three decimal places. Last year, the church's expenses were 169,700 gold coins and 35 silver coins, and its income was 169,700 gold coins and 35 silver coins. silver."
Baiqin felt that her blood began to condense at this time, and her palms became a little weak. She looked at the man in front of her with confusion and asked hesitantly: "Why...is this happening?"
"How many years has it been since your last prayer was answered?"
Bai Qin was stunned by the man's question. After a moment, Bai Qin said hesitantly: "Five years."
"The gods haven't sent down an oracle for five years."
"The church has been taken over."
The man puts a form on the table,
He looked at Bai Qin with a serious expression, "My decrees can only be carried out on a small scale now, because I am only a cardinal, not a pope, so local governments can choose to ignore my orders. In five years, there are Another group of forces secretly tampered with my decree. I doubt whether the Elemental Church in other places is still our church."
"Who is so bold?!"
When Bai Qin heard this, her eyes widened immediately and she asked in disbelief: "This is the church, one of the twelve moments. Who dares..."
"do not forget."
The man knocked on the table, his voice a little hoarse, "The gods haven't seen us for five years."
Hearing this, Bai Qin suddenly withered. She blames herself very much. She blames herself for having been studying the elements academically but never willing to shoulder the responsibility of the church. It is clear that as the pope, she should give orders and control the local church. But he himself became the hands-off shopkeeper, and the cardinal in front of him worked hard for the church, but was picked off by someone from another organization.
"Is it useful to blame yourself?"
At this time, the man spoke and said sternly: "You are the Pope, put away your self-blaming expression and useless tears. These weaknesses of yours are meaningless and you can't do anything."
He was obviously just a cardinal, but the man dared to directly rebuke Bai Qin. Bai Qin didn't refute. She bit her lip and touched her eyes hard.
"I came to you before, but you always thought I was verbose and wanted to have a hand in everything. I explained the pros and cons to you, and explained that the church was not peaceful recently, but you still immersed yourself in your academic studies. Baiqin, if you You are a scholar, and I must praise you for what you have done. However, don’t forget that you are the pope, and it is your responsibility to develop the church.”
The man's eyes are not big, but they are very sharp. He stared at the girl in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Now that the church has been controlled, there are very few sober people. I can't trust anyone except you. Put away your cowardice, Baiqin, and think about you." Responsibility."
Bai Qin was silent for a long time, then she said softly: "Bishop Ant, I'm sorry."
"I'm just a cardinal, Bai Qin. What I'm saying to you is not preaching, I'm just telling you the current situation."
As a cardinal of the Church of Elements, Ant has always acted strictly and strictly to the outside world, always acting according to the rules. He looked at Bai Qin in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Baiqin, I need you to find someone you can trust, and it cannot be someone from the Church of Elements. The Church of Elements has now been completely infiltrated, and we must find a solution. "
believable...
Bai Qin's mind was a little confused. After a while, she suddenly thought of someone, someone she could trust.
Anya.
The Pope of the Church of Emotions, Anya.
The next day, Bai Qin found Anya.
The War Church also welcomed a special guest.
"This is where primitive people live!"
Zhou Li looked at the tall tower with nothing but stones in front of him, and asked Huang Yi in shock: "Have you been robbed?"
"Those who looted didn't grab the doorknob."
Huang Yi smiled and kicked open the door without a handle in front of him with ease. He looked at the empty house, his eyes filled with the past, "It still feels familiar."
"It's a familiar primitive cave, right?"
Zhou Li complained at the side. He never expected that what he saw in front of him was not so much a building as a natural landscape made of stones. It was so poor that it was so breathtaking. He had been mentally prepared, but he never expected that this thing was not something he was mentally prepared to accept.
You can see how shocking this scene is just by looking at Eluma's stunned expression.
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."
Huang Yi smiled freely, then he made a gesture of invitation and said gracefully: "Please, I will take you to visit my second home."
Yes, this is Huang Yi's second home. And his original birthplace is Magnum's War Church, the kind with a copper door handle on the door.
Zhou Li’s greetings today
The visit was just as he imagined. When he went in, the guard did not stop him and he could visit freely. Of course, Huang Yi must have been recognized. After all, he is the backbone of the entire church. If Huang Yi couldn't recognize him, then there would be no need for the guards.
But what made Huang Yi uncomfortable was that when the guard saw him this time, he did not immediately rush up to hold his thigh and cry about the misery of the church. Instead, he had an expression on his face that said, "You can finally be freed." This made Huang Yi feel very sad. It's weird.
And soon, the weirdness turned into surprise.
"Where's the money?"
Looking at the empty house in front of him, Huang Yi went out, raised his head, checked the house number, frowned and said in confusion: "It's impossible, there's so much money."
"Yesterday, my hidden sentry did not detect any vehicles or transport personnel entering here."
Zhou Li on the side seemed to have expected this scene, and said calmly: "Do you know Jason?"
"Jason?"
After hearing this name, Huang Yi was stunned for a moment. After searching in his mind for a while, Huang Yi finally remembered the name, "I remember that he seemed to have worked in the Secretariat before. I noticed him a few times, mainly because he didn't owe many debts, which is quite rare."
"Would you like to think more carefully?"
Huang Yi was stunned by Zhou Li's words. He frowned and began to think subconsciously.
After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said in shock:
"wrong."
"There is no such person as Jason in the War Church."
"There's no record of him fighting in my mind. It's completely impossible."
