Chapter 38 Are you doubting the church?

Under the wide black hood, Isa's eyes moved, staring at the tall figure in the red robe.

The wide and gorgeous red robe was engraved with dense purple and gold mysterious patterns.

That was the archbishop of the church.

In a sense, the archbishop was the person with the highest status in the church. In Isa's memory, the Pope lived in the North Cathedral all year round. Usually, only the archbishop could enter and exit the mysterious church.

Even if the crimson robe that symbolized identity and status was put aside, the archbishop was the most conspicuous person in the church.

His tall stature far exceeded that of an ordinary person, symbolizing that he had received the greatest gift from the goddess.

Looking at the entire church, this was also a unique gift.

Isa looked up at the crimson figure, with envy and reverence shining in her eyes.

Under Isa's gaze, amid a mechanical hum, the archbishop walked in front of the clergy with extremely steady steps.

"Everyone."

"The goddess has given the oracle."

A stiff electronic synthesized voice came from under the crimson robe, echoing in the empty side hall: "Three days later, the Lord will adjust the laws of the movement of the sun and the moon."

"The Varela calendar will also open a new chapter."

"In accordance with the Pope's will, the church will hold a ceremony of the descent of God at the place where God descends to welcome the Lord's arrival."

Under Isa's gaze, the archbishop slowly opened his arms, and the stiff electronic synthesized voice became louder and louder: "All deacons and priests, from now on, announce the descent of God to all believers in the city..."

...

"The place where God descends?!"

"The goddess descends?!!"

Looking at Gao Yuan in front of him, Chen Fan felt half of his body numb: "You kid are not lying to me, are you?"

Gao Yuan did not speak, but turned his head and pursed his lips at the cathedral not far behind him.

Chen Fan followed Gao Yuan's gaze.

Deacons and priests in white and black robes filed out of the metal arched door of the East Cathedral.

After a short stay, these clergy dispersed in all directions.

"The preparations for the God's Descent Ceremony have begun."

"The deacons and priests need to inform the believers in the city of this news within three days."

At this moment, Chen Fan's fluke mentality was completely shattered.

Good news.

He has roughly figured out the truth of the God's Chosen Ceremony and the church's attempt to hide. According to the original plan, he needs to find Xu Huai, obtain more information, and try to find a way to escape before the God's Chosen Ceremony.

Bad news.

No need to wait for the God's Chosen Ceremony.

The goddess is about to "come down to earth" to find him in person!

Thinking that the other party is likely to be an alien from another planet, Chen Fan's mind automatically emerged with a lot of horror movie plots about the third kind of contact.

What tentacles, mucus, what mysterious human experiments...

Yi is right, the brain of intelligent creatures has a strong ability to supplement details.

Just thinking about it, Chen Fan felt that his san value was dropping.

[Calm down.]

Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [This machine thinks this is a good opportunity.]

[No risk, no gain. At least you can take this opportunity to find out the true identity of the goddess. 】

Chen Fan couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

It's really easy to talk without any pain in your waist!

Chen Fan took a deep breath, calmed down his inner anxiety, and quickly adjusted the original plan.

We have to speed up!

We can't just wait foolishly for the so-called goddess to come, right?

What if that goddess takes a fancy to him and wants to take him to the kingdom of God to enjoy happiness in advance?

"Let's not talk about the God's Descent Ceremony first."

Chen Fan looked around.

After discovering that several priests in black robes were walking in their direction, he pulled Gao Yuan beside him and quickened his pace away from the cathedral: "I wanted to ask you something when we were in the library."

"What?"

"The entire church library only has history books after the old calendar 1800. Not only that, the history books in the library even only record information related to the city of Varela." Chen Fan's face was solemn, "What about the previous history? In addition to the city of Varela, are there no other regions in this world?"

"Don't you think it's a little strange?"

"Strange?"

Gao Yuan looked at Chen Fan in surprise, "What's so strange about this? The Archbishop has long said that the disaster in the first year of Varela destroyed all the previous books."

Chen Fan sighed helplessly.

The fragrance in the library is really harmful.

Gao Yuan didn't even notice such an obvious logical loophole!

"The books are all destroyed, what about that person?"

"It can't be that all the people who know about it were killed by the disaster in the first year of Varela?"

"Why didn't they leave any text describing the period before the first year of Varela?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan fell silent.

He frowned and began to think about this problem that he had never realized before.

For some reason, Gao Yuan always felt that there was a thick fog in his mind.

This fog blocked his thinking process and brought him deeper confusion.

"I... I don't know."

After thinking for a long time, Gao Yuan raised his hand and scratched his scalp hard. He frowned and asked directly: "What do you want to say?"

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Don't you think the church is deliberately hiding something?"

Gao Yuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Chen Fan with a strange and somewhat horrified look:

"Chen Fan, you..."

"Are you doubting the church?"

Suspecting the church?

No, no, no, he is not only doubting the church!

Considering Gao Yuan's acceptance and for his own safety, Chen Fan did not say what he really thought.

He nodded and said in line with Gao Yuan's meaning: "Yes, don't you think there is something wrong with the church doing this?"

At this time, Gao Yuan was already confused.

If the words questioning the church were spoken by an ordinary believer, Gao Yuan would not hesitate to regard this believer as a pagan and notify the church to burn the pagan who was invaded by the evil spirit alive!

But Chen Fan is not an ordinary believer.

He is a chosen one!

A chosen one with a lofty status in the church! !

What is this called?

Why did His Majesty rebel?

"I, I don't know."

Gao Yuan subconsciously took a half step back, shaking his head with his eyes blank:

"Don't say it, I don't want to know."

Looking at Gao Yuan's attitude as if he was facing a great enemy, Chen Fan helplessly raised his hand and touched his nose: "Okay, I have one last question."

"Ask it."

Gao Yuan took a few deep breaths in succession, and his face regained its calmness, but from his eyes, it can be seen that his mood at this time is still very complicated.

"Outside the city of Varela..."

"What's the situation now?"

Gao Yuan's face, which had just regained its calmness, suddenly changed.

"Hush!"

"You're crazy!!"

"You dare to ask this thing?!"

He quickly looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Gao Yuan took a few steps back again and distanced himself from Chen Fan.

"Chen Fan, I will pretend that I haven't heard these words. Don't tell anyone else!"

"Otherwise..."

Gao Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and his face became ugly again: "Remember, don't say these words again!"
