Chapter 108
Julie's father was a fanatic and half of the meager wages he earned were handed over to the priest. Her mother was a soft-hearted woman and believed whatever her husband said. She was not a believer in the God of Light before, but under the influence of her husband, she also became a believer.
It stands to reason that growing up in such a family, it is easy to be brainwashed into a devout believer. But Julie has had a bad temper since she was a child. She is impatient to listen to boring hymns that make her fall asleep every day. She lives a very realistic life. Her family has spent so much money on the Vatican and has not seen any benefits. Why should she still believe in it?
The parents felt that their daughter had been disobedient since she was a child, liked to go against them and quarrel. When the bishop told them that Julie had such a bad temper because she was possessed by the devil, they suddenly realized the truth. Later, they became two of the people who forced the girl to go to the church for treatment, and they believed they were saving their daughter.
After Julie was rescued from the cellar, she never returned home. She didn't know where to go, and she was very curious about the Son of Light who was completely different from other priests, so she stayed in the church and followed the Son of Light to observe what he was doing.
His Royal Highness the Son of God confiscated the property of the priests and gave each of them 3,000 gold coins as compensation, which was an amount of money that most civilians could never earn in their entire lives. It was enough for the girls to live a worry-free life in the future.
After receiving the compensation, Julie did not leave. She had not yet decided where to go or what to do, so she followed His Highness around every day, watching him methodically clean up the chamber, select new priests and servants, and establish new rules.
Anyway, His Highness didn't find her annoying, and he didn't think she was rude when she cursed at people in a sarcastic tone. His Highness would even laugh at her... Julie just followed him shamelessly.
Winster was so annoyed because his brother had said before that he liked girls, so even though his brother had become his lover now, Winster was still wary of every good-looking woman that his brother admired.
The bishop that Al was transferred to was previously a pastor in another city.
A few days ago, he wanted to transfer a new bishop who was an honest person, but apart from the Bishop's Court, he basically didn't know any other priests, so he could only find ways to inquire.
His own chain stores have been opened in hundreds of cities. People come and go every day and talk a lot, so he can collect a lot of information. He didn't have any use for these before and never cared about them.
This time he found out after asking, my goodness, two of his most trusted workers, Mon and Mona, the two siblings he saved when he first started making money, had begun collecting and collating intelligence from all sides when he entered the Holy See many years ago and became a candidate for the Son of God.
When he heard that His Highness needed intelligence, Moon's eyes lit up, and his high morale overflowed from the crystal ball, "We have long been prepared to help His Highness completely control the Holy See!"
“…” You look more like you want to see me conquer the world.
Al watched with his own eyes as Moon took out a thick booklet from his ring, turned to the information about several cities near Minga City, and picked out a few obedient and honest priests to talk to him about it.
Al wanted to clean up the Vatican so that he could take over a clean and easy-to-manage organization in the future, not to better expand faith in the God of Light.
So he didn't want to let a particularly pious priest take office, such as... Grandpa Kaven who raised him.
After much deliberation, they chose an elderly pastor who was mild-mannered, non-confrontational, and who often gave food to homeless people on the street. The key point was that he spoke little, which meant he didn't like to preach.
After telling Bishop Edgar clearly about the situation in Minga City, the bishop, who was kind-hearted and strictly followed the church rules, had never lost his temper so much!
He agreed with Al's decision to execute the priest of Minga Branch, and after some persuasion from the young man, he obtained the appointment document from the Bishop's Court, allowing an unknown mid-level wizard to become the new bishop of Minga Branch.
If there is one thing that Al is most satisfied with about the Holy See of Light, it must be that the Pope does not interfere in affairs, the archbishops only enjoy their own lives or focus on improving magic and do not care about trivial matters, and the Bishop Edgar who is in charge is honest and easy to fool.
Al nodded secretly. This filthy and corrupt Church could be saved if it were cleaned up.
The new bishop has arrived in Minga City. Al met with him several times to discuss some things. It can be seen that the other party is a very Buddhist person. After the promotion, he did not show any ambition. He only had some joy of "Oh, my salary increased", and he also smiled happily when he was praised.
Moon had done some research before and found out that when this person was young, he agreed with the Vatican's actions to help the world and its ideas of exporting to the outside world, so he worked hard to become a priest.
I guess he had seen too many dirty things, so he lost his enthusiasm later on. Plus, as he got older, he gradually turned to a state of living a life of idleness and waiting to die.
Al didn't care whether he had ambitions and goals. The Holy See was not a place for business. Those things were useless. He just needed people to be honest and obedient. However... the new bishop was too Buddhist. He doubted that someone in the chamber would try to make small calculations in the future, or that some poor people would take advantage of the chamber crazily, but he just laughed it off.
And Julie has been with him these days. From her words and actions, it can be seen that although this girl has a bit of a bad temper, she has good values, a firm mind, and can distinguish right from wrong. It would be great if there was someone with such a character who could supervise the branch.
So Al invited Julie -
"You are here as an overseer, assisting Bishop Robinson. You have more power than other priests. Whether they are priests, knights, or servants, you have the right to hire and fire them just like the bishop."
When Julie received the invitation, she was shocked, "Me, me? But I don't know anything, I'm not a gifted person..." She doesn't have such powerful magic.
The silver-haired young man smiled indifferently, "It's okay, I'll give you the power." After thinking for two seconds, he added, "I can appoint you as the chief servant of God. If someone does something bad and doesn't accept your punishment, you can contact me directly with the crystal ball."
In the eyes of the world, anyone whose name is associated with the word "God" is a powerful person.
Julie looked at him silently, she knew that she was born in a lowly family, spoke vulgarly, and was useless except for a face and the ability to do some rough work. How could she be worthy of an identity that was related to "God"?
Most importantly, she hated the Holy See of Light, and she felt that the wise Holy Son knew this.
"Why do you want me to do these things? You know I have no faith, and I... I can't even read a few words." The girl's voice became smaller as she spoke, and she showed a rare sense of inferiority.
"It's not important. You can learn the characters slowly. You don't have any faith, but you have an open mind and a strong soul. And... I know Julie is a very kind person. You definitely don't want what happened to you or the scams that happened to the citizens to happen again, right?"
Julie was the most beautiful, powerful, and upright person she had ever met in her life. She continued to smile and said to her, "I have no one else I can trust in Minga City. You are honest and brave. If it's you, you can definitely guard this place for me."
"I'd be very happy if you're willing to accept my proposal, but if you have other plans or places you want to go, that's fine too. You can ignore what I just said. Your own happiness is the most important thing."
Julie lowered her head, her nose felt sore, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Al was a little panicked. What he just said were all compliments, so why did they make people cry?
Under Winston's penetrating gaze, he gritted his teeth and said a few words to comfort Julie. Then the girl, who had been crying silently, began to cry loudly.
Apart from being told that she was beautiful, Julie never received any other compliments because of her personality.
Just now, when she heard His Royal Highness the Saint Son speak, it was like having a brother, caressing her head with his broad and warm hands, smiling and praising her for being great, and feeling proud of her...
After all, she was still young, and in front of someone she trusted, Julie's emotions broke down.
The girl hiccuped and asked, "Are you serious? Can I really use the crystal ball to contact you in the future?"
Al answered in the affirmative.
Julie accepted the job while crying. Humph! If she is bullied again, she will complain!
I won’t mention how the silver-haired young man was suffocated by Winston and Samuel’s kisses after he went back to the room to rest and closed the door. He seriously suspected that it was because he didn’t allow them to be too intimate in the past few days and also restricted the number of kisses. This guy was taking advantage of the situation!
After that, El let the brainwashed servants of God stay here to continue doing some chores and slowly recover their spirits.
Seeing that there were so many empty rooms in such a big church, he ordered the adoption of some orphans, taught them to read and write, and encouraged them to create, such as singing, dancing, painting, and handicrafts.
The top figures in this world are busy pursuing powerful strength, and the most influential gods want to fool humans into being fools, resulting in humans not having much enthusiasm to develop other things, poor entertainment, and slow innovation in art. Al thought that the progress of human civilization can start from childhood.
Before leaving, His Royal Highness the Prince had a private conversation with the new bishop and asked the Minga Branch to pay attention to the movements of the new city lord in the future.
If there is a serious violation of the law, you can report it to the power center of the royal city. As a thank you, the branch court can take half of the property after liquidating the city lord's mansion.
On the other side, Al also went to the manor and said the same thing to the new city lord, asking him to supervise the Minga branch.
After taking care of all the follow-up matters, the group set out on their journey again.
Combining the information provided by Kimberly and the locations of the cities with the most serious lawlessness provided by Moon, Al planned a route. While repeating the operation on Minga City, he went looking for succubi and contracted them to avoid trouble in the future.
Not every situation was as smooth as it was in Mingjia City. Some nobles and priests were well-informed and heard about the good deeds done by the Saint Son and the Prince. They could not wipe out the entire city, so once they noticed them entering the city, they would choose to hire powerful swordsmen and mages at high prices to assassinate them.
Some powerful people will find loopholes to escape when they are being purged, and then look for opportunities to retaliate against them.
Three months later, after experiencing many actual combat battles, the few people were very satisfied. There were fewer bad guys and their strength was improved.
Her Majesty the Queen in the distant royal city was very satisfied, and the status of the royal family in the hearts of the people was improved.
Bishop Edgar, who often contacts Al, is also very satisfied. Their Holy Son is really conscientious! No wonder our God chose him!
It is such a just, talented, intelligent, brave and compassionate child who is qualified to be the spokesperson of our God!
That day, the young man contacted the bishop again and asked him to issue a letter of appointment to promote the worker he had chosen.
"Good boy, you are in Gasabi City, right?" The bishop glanced at the map on the table, "Oh~ Abner is in Ita City, you are very close."
This one is close, but it takes two days to travel. Al asked casually, "Really? What a coincidence. What is Abner doing there?"
"The bishop of the Ita branch reported the whereabouts of the dark race. So far, two priests and five believers have been burned to death." Edgar sighed and said with disgust: "It is indeed a cruel race."
After chatting for a few more words, when the crystal ball disconnected the image, Samuel, who had been hiding in the blind spot and had been waiting impatiently, immediately came over and hugged the man, resting his head on the shoulder of the silver-haired young man.
From time to time, a kiss would fall on the fair skin in front of him, on the cheek, neck, and ears. Al was tickled by Him and could not continue looking at the roster to decide on the personnel arrangements for this chamber.
He was afraid that he would get angry again during the kiss, so he wanted to divert his lover's attention.
"Are you interested in what the bishop just mentioned about the dark race?"
A hoarse voice sounded beside his ears, "Not interested." All his interests in this life were caused by the little guy. The Lord God blew a breath into the young man's ear, "I am still more interested in having sex with you. Why don't you want to?"
Before they even kissed, Al felt hot and his cheeks turned pale. He looked at his lover suspiciously and asked, "Did you learn something from the succubi you contracted with?"
