'And if I remember correctly, the Empire was established by the King of Light at the end of the Second Age, when the King of Light and his allies won the War of the Dawn, a war of gods. The beginning of the Third Age seems to be the establishment of the Empire by the King of Light. In other words, the Empire's state religion, which worships the Emperor of the Empire, is essentially worshipping the King of Light. The King of Light is a god of 'light', and the Empire's state religion is itself a church of 'light'. Later, the Church of the Radiant Light and the Church of the True Glory were also 'lights'.
"This identity, does it mean that the radiance saves the king, the real glory is actually the king of light? The radiance who saves the king now, is it the former emperor of the empire?"
Sitting in her seat in the cabin, Dorothy looked at Beverly's words on the pages of the book and fantasized about it in her heart. Then she picked up the pen and immediately wrote down her questions on the pages.
"The King of Light, Shining Shining, Brilliant Light Saving, are they essentially one God?"
"Well... I'm not sure about this. After all, I'm not a scholar who specializes in studying the secrets of gods. I'm just an intermediate structure. If you are interested in the relationship between them, you should study it yourself. What is certain is that although the specific relationship between them is not clear, the connection between them must be huge. It is not impossible to say that they are the same existence. In fact, this statement is very popular among some secret history researchers. Most people who know a little about secret history will think so."
Beverly's words continued to appear on the pages of the book in front of Dorothy. Looking at Beverly's words, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer worried about the relationship between the King of Light and the True Glory, but continued to write on the pages of the book.
"Okay, now I understand the relationship between the True Glory Church and the Radiant Light Church. So what does this have to do with the activities of the Salvation Sect in Northern Wu?"
"Of course they are closely related. I don't know if you have noticed that the True Glory Church only worships the True Glory. The believers believe that the True Glory is the supreme being in the world and there is no theory of incarnation. The school of the Radiant Light Church believes in the Three Saints Theory, saying that the Radiant Light Savior handed over all responsibilities to the Three Saints and retired to the Palace of the Sun. This is a deviation from the original True Glory Church.
"After the True Glory Church was roughly converted, the Radiant Light Church began to promote its own Three Saints Theory throughout northern Ukraine. This is because many church organizations in northern Ukraine were incorporated into the True Glory Church and have a high degree of independence, and the True Glory Church's belief in northern Ukraine is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"At the same time, when the teachings of the Three Saints were promoted in Beiwu, the worship of the Glorious Savior did not weaken much like in the mainland after Beiwu merged with Zhenyao Shangyu. To this day, although the belief in the Glorious Three Saints is also widely spread in Beiwu, the belief in the Glorious Savior still has a strong influence in Beiwu and has not weakened to the extent of the mainland. What's more, some people even hate the Three Saints and only recognize the Savior. This also gives the Savior Advent sect a deep soil for development in Beiwu. Many countries in Beiwu have traces of the Savior Advent sect's activities, just like Adus, which is currently experiencing civil unrest, is an example.
"The fundamental reason for the civil strife in Adus is the corruption of the Baruch Dynasty. Farano, Pritt, Ivig and many other powerful continental countries have a stronger influence on Adus. Under their puppetry, the Baruch Dynasty endlessly betrayed national interests and suppressed the people internally, coupled with its own high degree of corruption. The civil strife broke out, but now it seems that this civil strife was used by the Savior Advent Sect. The leaders of the rebels borrowed the influence of the Savior Advent Sect to gather people's hearts and even sought extraordinary assistance. With the help of the Savior Advent Sect, this rebellion was much more powerful than the previous civil strife in Adus, and even succeeded in attacking the capital. However, it was also because the rebellion borrowed the power of the Savior Advent Sect that they were targeted by the church.
"At present, the nobles of the Baruch Dynasty have written to the church with the support of other countries on the continent to request troops. Under normal circumstances, the church should use troops directly now, but what is unusual is that they actually sent a special envoy to ease the conflict in Addus? This is something that most forces that are watching the situation in Addus did not expect. No one knows what the purpose of the church doing this is. This is not their previous style of doing things. I guess maybe there is some conflict within them. This may be the result of some political struggle."
Beverly's intelligence appeared clearly and in detail on the pages of the book in front of Dorothy. Looking at the handwriting in front of her, Dorothy roughly understood the complexity of the situation in Adus.
The church, the Messiah, the rebels, the old nobles of the Baruch dynasty... There are many forces involved. Dorothy knows at first sight that Vanya's journey this time may be extremely dangerous.
"I originally thought that by making Vanya a vase in the eyes of the church's upper echelons, I could keep her away from danger. Now it seems that I was a little naive. In the eyes of those higher-ups, even a vase is a flag. It must play a role when it is needed... It seems that I have to travel with Vanya as much as possible on this trip."
Looking at Beverly's words, Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she immediately responded and wrote it down.
"I have a general idea of the situation in Northern Ukraine. Thank you for the intelligence. How much do you plan to offer for so much intelligence?"
"What price are you asking? What I just said is almost public information in the Northern Wu secret world. You are an old customer. It would be a shame to charge you for such public information."
"That's how your father charged in the beginning. He wanted to make a profit from any news..."
Seeing Beverly's response, Dorothy thought in her heart, and then she thought that she had done so much business with the Stonemasons' Guild, and even helped them to take down a Dark Gold Guild base. Logically speaking, she should have been promoted to a VIP customer, and it was only right to save some small fees for VIPs.
Dorothy was thinking this, and just as she was about to end her communication with Beverly, she suddenly thought of another question, so she picked up the pen and asked another question.
"Oh, right, you said before... that the Radiant Light Church and the True Glory Church had a holy war at the beginning. The two churches started fighting and then merged to worship the gods. During this process, neither the Radiant Light Church nor the True Glory Church issued an oracle?"
Dorothy wrote that if Glory Rescue and True Glory Upper were really the same god, then if she encountered a fight between two groups of her subordinates, wouldn't she have avoided losses by issuing an oracle in advance? If they were not the same god, then when the faith merged, True Glory Upper should have issued an oracle to clarify the resistance. You have to know that the merger was based on Glory Rescue, which was equivalent to handing over her own faith to others.
And the fact is, neither side seems to have any oracle. Whether it is the Glorious Rescue or the True Glory Ascension, they seem to not exist. No matter how the believers on both sides explain them, they have no objection. This is somewhat incredible in a world where true gods exist.
Dorothy wrote out her own questions, and soon after, Beverly wrote out her answers.
"I don't know, the oracle of the Glorious Church is strictly confidential within the Glorious Church. Only the cardinals can know it, and it will never be announced. But as far as I know, during the holy war at the beginning of the Fourth Epoch, there seems to be no record of direct interference from the gods, and the True Glory Council does not seem to have received any oracles."
