Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 15:

As soon as he said a word, both Lei and Kashally, who were all smiles, sank their faces.

This is the current chief priest of the Church of the Harvest Goddess. Since the death of the former chief priest Holly Riley, this old man who had been standing aside from the power center of the church turned over and became the head of the entire church. . Over the past year or so, he has always been very low-key, not revealing the mountains and dews, and digging into the rare people, praying in the rebuilt temple all day long, making people feel that he seems to be a decoration.

But now, it turns out that he is not a display, just waiting for the opportunity.

At this moment, he raised a "prayer" in public at the celebration, which immediately posed a problem for Ray and Kashally.

Praying can be big or small. For example, going to the temple to pray in private is not a big deal. As long as you don't go to the temple where you have enemies with your own gods, it's not a problem at all. For example, Lei believes in the "Mask of the Void", but he often visits the Church of the God of Wealth. Every time he goes, he prays silently in front of the statue of the God of Wealth.

This is just etiquette, it is also proper etiquette.

But at the celebration, lead everyone to pray together, the nature is completely different!

Since the Church of the Harvest Goddess was hit hard, the core masters have almost disappeared, and even the goddess herself has suffered a great loss. They have basically lost their influence in Gals City. Especially in the process of rebuilding the city, it was the Church of the God of Wealth that contributed mainly to it, and it squeezed them to the side from the foundation of faith.

People in this world are generally poorly educated, and most civilians are even illiterate, but they are not stupid. Who treats them well? Who helped them? They are clear in their hearts.

Faith is a matter of the soul. It cannot be faked or deceived. It is an indisputable fact that the long-standing position of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest in Gals City is gradually being replaced by the Church of the God of Wealth.

To restore faith, the most practical way is of course to provide money and people to help residents rejuvenate the city. Of course, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest has money and some people, but now there are many contradictions within the church. Various local temples have seen opportunities and are seeking to replace the Gals temple as the main temple of the church. How can they give money and help? It's a good thing not to be delayed!

If the new chief priest has enough prestige or strength, he might be able to suppress temples everywhere. However, he didn't have either, and he couldn't think of a way other than praying every day.

But not long ago, a friend from a friendly church visited him and gave him an idea.

"Take advantage of the celebration, invite Katharie to take everyone to pray to the goddess?" The chief priest was at a loss at the time, wondering what this friend who has always been known for his wit means.

The friend smiled mysteriously. Even in the private study, he lowered his voice and explained it to him before he realized it.

As for manpower and material resources, he really can't get it out now. However, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest has been entrenched in Gals City for so many years, and has accumulated a very deep influence among the people. As long as you find an opportunity to exert these influences, you can reshape the image and restore the previous bad influence.

Furthermore...If you operate it well, you can even occupy the magpie's nest and swallow the fruits of the efforts of the Church of the God of Wealth during this period of time!

The key to this plan is to take the opportunity to force the Lord Kasari to lead everyone to pray to the goddess of harvest, thanking the goddess for the harvest.

At first glance, this seems to be a matter of course, but on this occasion, the city owner brought everyone to pray and thank the gods, which is tantamount to re-establishing the dominance of the Church of the Harvest Goddess in the Gals religious world. After all, This is actually a long-standing tradition in the city of Gals. Almost every resident has participated in such prayers more than once. As long as they remind them of the past and connect with the present, they will naturally restore their faith in the goddess of harvest.

The dominance of the Church of the Harvest Goddess for hundreds of years and the operation of the Riley family for hundreds of years are extremely deep foundations. As long as you find an opportunity to make use of this deep foundation, you will immediately have the magical effect of reviving the dead!

Faced with the silent Lei and Kashally, the chief priest’s old face showed a triumphant smile, and with a wave of his hand, the church personnel were ready to begin the prayer ceremony.

Of course he could see that the two were unwilling, but what if they were unwilling? Don't forget, Lord Kashali has believed in the goddess of harvest since he was a child, and he is also a member of the church. Unless she has the courage to turn her face now and announce her change of faith and withdraw from the church, she will not be able to refuse this completely reasonable request.

Does this vase have the guts for nothing but beauty?

The chief priest sneered in his heart, full of pleasure.

Since this time, many Gals people, including Kashally, have alienated the Church of the Goddess of Harvest—it was the goddess who destroyed Gals City in the first place. In the face of enemies who have destroyed their homes, it is kind to not draw their swords. How can they be expected to respect and believe in the goddess of harvest as they did in the past!

But in the eyes of the chief priest, these people are ungrateful and don't know what is good or bad! What is the destruction of Gals City, everything they have belonged to the goddess! As a believer, it is only natural to lay down his life for the gods, not to mention a few houses!

So he has always been angry in his heart, but he is suppressed, like a volcano that quietly accumulates strength.

At this moment, seeing the leader of the Gals in such an embarrassment, he suddenly had a pleasure of revenge, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Of course, it’s not time to laugh yet. When all the dust settles and he can enjoy the fruits of victory with peace of mind, he can laugh out loud without hesitation.

Kasally hesitated. Although she didn't have much talent and knowledge, she still knew who was good and who was bad. The Church of the Goddess of Harvest has hardly contributed to the revival of the city, but at this moment, Da Lala stands up and naturally wants to receive the honor of revival. This is not justified!

As for faith... She was not such a pious person. After experiencing that terrible riot and battle, she even felt fear and alienation towards all the gods. For more than a year, she carefully avoided any temple, because as long as she saw the temple, it would remind her of the terrible memories.

From the perspective of the deity, it can be seen that there is no line of faith in Kashally's body. At this moment, she is the so-called "unbelievers."

Whether out of feelings or beliefs, she is unwilling to pray to the harvest goddess, and even less willing to take everyone to pray together, owing the fruits of everyone's efforts to the blessing of the harvest goddess.

But...she didn't have the courage to refuse the request of the chief priest.

As the friend of the chief priest estimated, Kasally is just a vase after all. She has received literary education since she was a child, and she has no knowledge of politics, military affairs, martial arts, and magic. The original intention of Castel Joseph was to let her youngest daughter be an artist who does not involve politics, and to marry the host’s wife in a friendly city and live a stable life. Forget it.

Her father is a legendary strong man in his prime, who can live for at least a few hundred years; her sister is the chief priest of the Harvest Goddess Church, and even if she does not enter the realm of legend in the future, she will at least be a high-level priest; her brother She is a genius in swordsmanship, and her future is infinitely bright; behind her is the Riley family on the east coast of Megatron, and the top commercial city Gals on the mainland... With such a backing, she does not need to study hard, and enjoy it. Life will do.

But who would have thought that in the event of unforeseen circumstances, all of Kashally’s backers would fall overnight!

She is just a lonely weak woman, but she has been pushed to the forefront by fate. It was almost like a piece of cooked fat, laid out in the wild, attracting countless hungry beasts to watch.

If it weren’t for her luck, she ran into a knight with an excess sense of justice, and that knight was still a legendary powerhouse, I’m afraid she would have been eaten by someone with a leather belt long ago, and even a little bit of scum will not be left!

However, Lei can block those unkind peeping for her on weekdays, but he can't support her at this time. After all... the request of the chief priest is completely "reasonable".

This is the benefit of being "just right".

Kasally hesitated and looked at Ray subconsciously.

During this time, she has become accustomed to relying on this upright, powerful and handsome knight, no matter how big or small things are, just asking him for help will surely be able to solve them.

It's like Tang Seng always yelled "Goku save me" when encountering danger, Nobita would always cry to find Doraemon when encountering difficulties. Although the world is different, the feelings are the same.

Lei sighed secretly in his heart, took a step forward, and stopped between Kashally and the chief priest.

"My Lord Santos has been in poor health recently, and she needs to rest." He said.

How could the chief priest let Kasally escape so easily! He smiled graciously and said: "Is not in good health? Then we should pray more! I pray that your majesty will descend from the grace of God to restore the health of the city lord."

He smiled harmlessly, but the smile made Lei secretly annoyed.

Unfortunately, this time and place is really not suitable for big fights.

The chaos of the last celebration has left deep scars in the hearts of the people in Gals City. If there is another accident at the celebration this time, I am afraid that the hearts of the people just gathered~IndoMTL.com~ will be true. It's going to break up!

He was so angry that the roots of his teeth were itchy, and he couldn't help but pray to Sui Xiong silently, asking Sui Xiong to punish these bastards-not much, just make them dizzy and "excellent with alcohol"!

Sui Xiong immediately received his prayer, and couldn't help but smile with Vie and Hemsala.

"The time is right!" he said.

Hemsala immediately sent a message. With a breeze, the sea water near Gars Harbor suddenly rolled up, turning up a huge wave, but it did not spread to the surroundings, but slowly rose into the air.

In the waves, there was a melodious singing voice, which was not loud, but ethereal and distant, so that the person who heard it seemed to be caught and immediately immersed in it.

The noisy square quickly quieted down, only the sound of singing echoed in the air.

This is the most famous song in the world, the song of mermaid, is the real sound of nature.
