When Su Yun brought Julia home from the city gate, he had been detained by the city wall for a whole day.

Su Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Although Isis said so... Actually you can also come in first."

Julia's face was serious and self-possessed: "This is in the mortal world. Since I am in the mortal world, I must abide by the rules of the mortal world. Only you, Father God, are above all rules."

His voice came from under the bird-beak mask, and Su Yun couldn't help but feel it was distorted.

"Is it uncomfortable to wear this mask?" Su Yun turned his head to look at Julia, "Why did you choose this identity this time?"

At this time, the two of them had already walked into the building complex, and there was no one else around except the divine servants.

After Julia took off his mask, she looked up and smiled at Su Yun: "It's nothing, this mask is very interesting... and only in this way can I walk freely on this continent."

…and can always be with you.

The protective clothing of doctors in this era is not just as simple as a mask. The thick black robe covers Julia's whole body. Thick gloves and ugly canes are also indispensable. Doctors use them to examine corpses and try to use them to scare the god of death.

But when Julia takes off the mask and reveals his face, he looks anything but menacing.

Originally, this cold and solemn young man should give people the impression of abstinence and seriousness after putting on the black robe, but he happened to have a pair of clear deep purple eyes, and now he was holding an ugly and strange bird-beak mask in his hand... When the young man looked at Su Yun affectionately with his slightly smiling eyes, a strange and magical attraction came over him, as lingering as his prototype.

Julia extended an invitation: "Father God, would you like to see it?"

Su Yun smiled and took the mask from Julia.

After all, it was a mixture of metal and leather, and the bird-beak mask was quite heavy. The beak part was hollow, and was filled with spices that could isolate the stench of corpses. The scent of roses filled the air faintly. Su Yun touched the lining, and it seemed that Julia's body temperature was still lingering on it.

Su Yun returned the mask to Julia: "It's very interesting."

Julia finally smiled: "As long as you like it."

The two entered an empty building. This was where Su Yun was going to live. It used to be a church of traditional faith. Luxurious and beautiful decorations filled every corner. But when people changed their religion, all the traditional decorations were smashed and looted.

The building itself is empty and only the simple and ancient building remains.

Nowadays, there is no priest in this city. There are only Su Yun, the priest "appointed by the lord", and Julia, a half-baked itinerant doctor who works part-time as a priest.

Su Yun lives in a tall tower, from which he can see most of Isis's territory. The only tower that can compare with this one may be the high tower of the lord's castle, but there is a huge bell hanging on that tower.

If the person who played the role of the lord was replaced by any one of the little plagues, they would let Su Yun live in the lord's castle without hesitation. This shows the difference between Isis and others. Isis wanted to worship Su Yun, so she instinctively chose the most extraordinary building for Su Yun.

Su Yun looked down at the territory through the window of the tower. Compared with other cities of the same era, this should be considered a rich land, right?

This city has not yet been attacked by the plague, but the pace of disaster will not stop. The corpses of people who died from the plague have appeared in the wilderness outside the city.

Julia's room was certainly not in the high tower. Isis specially allocated a cellar to him. However, Julia would not care about this. He had plenty of ways to stay in the Father's bed... but now was not the time.

Julia looked at the man leaning against the window. The setting sun blurred his outline. His eyes reflected this world, the world he created and the world he loved deeply.

His Father God divides all His love equally among all His creations. How gentle, fair, beautiful and indifferent this is.

"My God..." Julia walked forward slowly and stopped one step away from the Father God. When his God looked back at her, he asked softly, "Would you like to...listen to my script?"

Maybe this is the worst time.

Plagues are rampant and wars are raging, but the light of humanity is still unable to illuminate the universal ignorance. People believe in strange rules and use blood and fire to exchange for peace of mind.

While life on land was devastating, the victors did not forget the ocean in their expansionist steps. The Age of Discovery quietly began. In the near future, the ocean will become a thoroughfare for the rise of a civilization.

Greed allows civilization to expand and eventually become a hegemon. Greed also allows civilization to reach its peak and then be destroyed.

And these things are Julia's favorite.

No matter what era, no matter what role they play, the seven little plagues will eventually gather around them.

The same is true this time, so where can the patriarch, lord, witch, itinerant doctor and crown prince be allowed to appear together?

Maybe it’s only on the battlefield. After all, fighting in war is without distinction of status.

According to Julia's script, a war caused by religion will break out in the oldest country. Jasmine's territory and Alice's empire will be involved in this war. Then Isis will lead her army to join the war. Theresa will serve as a bishop in Alice's country and assist that country in reform and victory. When this oldest country fails and splits, this place will belong to Anita's land.

In fact, this is the inevitable trend of history, and Julia did not change the original fate of this era.

Everything was arranged clearly, and Su Yun thought it was quite fair at first glance.

According to this plan, they will sooner or later meet up with all the little plagues, and Julia rarely includes Anita in his story, knowing that Anita has always been an outlier ignored by the brothers.

Su Yun nodded: "That's great, let's do it in the order that everything should be done."

Julia smiled faintly: "It's enough to get your recognition."

At this moment, the priest knocked on the door of the tower, and then Isis walked into the room. He had changed out of his armor and put on the lord's robe. The robe was dyed in deep black and red. It didn't look gorgeous at first glance, but it was very imposing.

Isis rarely wore anything other than armor, but this robe suited his temperament very well.

"My God, I am late." Isis' eyes sparkled, the color was like sunlight shining through green leaves, "The knights have all been replaced by divine servants, and they will set out on the journey soon."

After Isis hastily replaced all the knights with divine servants, she immediately rushed to the tower of the Father.

Isis knew what the Father wanted. Since the Father was happy to see everyone reunite, he would do his best to fight for the Father and fulfill his wishes.

As Isis expected, Julia really pestered the Father God to flatter him. He was the most pretentious of all people, always talking about rules and order, as if he himself had no desires or wants.

But the truth is that Julia is the craziest one. His repression is nothing but a disguise of self-admiration. What he prays for is a fantasy. He can still wake up from the pillar, relying only on the Father's love that treats everyone equally.

Isis cleared her mind of confusion

He walked to the Father God and said, "My God, the war has begun and my army is about to go out. There will be a witch trial in this city tomorrow and we will leave again in about ten days."

"Witch? Are there witches in your territory?"

Su Yun thought of Anita. Now Anita was also running around as a witch.

"This is just a religious activity of humans. Wherever there are women and religion, there will be witch trials. They need witches." Isis smiled indifferently, "Perhaps those humans will invite you to the trial. You don't need to care about their unreasonable requests."

Su Yun understood: "Okay, I understand. How long will this war last?"

"Twenty years, thirty years, or forty years, Father God, no matter how long their war lasts, the ending will be the same." Julia placed his mask on the table. "Perhaps Flora will wake up sooner."

When Su Yun heard the name of the last little plague, he subconsciously thought of Flora's soul flame. It was a pure black flame without any smell. It just burned and jumped quietly and wildly in his hands. It was so hot, as if it contained infinite power.

Su Yun smiled: "How long will it take for Flora to wake up?"

This time it was Isis who answered: "My God, less than four hundred years."

In less than four hundred years, Flora will wake up... No, it should be said that Flora has never fallen asleep.

There was no difference between all of them. They spent their days and nights in the pillars with great clarity of mind, and Flora was the same at this moment. However, no matter how hard he tried to destroy the chains that bound him, he could not move an inch until the end of his sentence.

Flora... Isis lowered her eyes.

He did not like Flora, and this feeling was different from his dislike for Anita; his hatred for Flora was even greater.

Flora inherited the unique identity of "monarch". When she was born, she was favored by the Father God no less than Alice.

However, the creature born under pampering does not know how to cherish this supreme honor. Julia's madness is hidden in her heart, but Flora's arrogance is exposed on the surface. He is unruly and extremely evil, so arrogant that he blasphemes the gods!

Flora's best punishment is not imprisonment. He should receive the most severe punishment. He must be erased, deprived of all the power that should not belong to him, and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

But unfortunately, this is only Isis's judgment, and God the Father does not think so.

The author has something to say: I am not very clear about the history of Western Europe since the 16th century, so I have not done any research. I just mentioned a few major events. I have not done any homework on the local customs and practices. You can just treat it as nonsense and have fun watching it.

The current timeline is roughly when the Holy Roman Empire declined during the Thirty Years' War in Europe. Before it were the Reformation, the Age of Discovery, the reign of Elizabeth I, the Spanish colonization, and the Portuguese Empire. The Thirty Years' War was the beginning of modern European history. After it were the rise of the Netherlands and Sweden, the beheading of Charles I, and the Glorious Revolution.

The Renaissance was in the 14th century, the Industrial Revolution was in the 18th century, and now the timeline is in the 16th century. This is roughly the concept.
