Chapter 152 The Bishop was bullied and cried
"The people in our country are completely different from yours. Even if it's a god, if they don't see tangible benefits, they won't be believed..."
The method he received from Thrall kept Movanwo awake for two nights. After all, Thrall's words meant that the Church of Four Seasons should release its skill book. However, skill books were extremely precious. The Church of Four Seasons' skill book had undergone thousands of years of supplementation, and the entire book contained only ninety-nine skills. In the Kingdom of Theodore, only those transcendents who had sworn eternal faith in the Goddess and possessed the highest talent and qualifications could choose skills from the skill book.
This is also the reason why there are not many true extraordinary people in the Kingdom of Theodore. After all, who would pass on their power to outsiders?
This is not only the case in the Kingdom of Theodore, but also in the Kingdom of Gundra. Even if one is of noble birth, if one does not have a firm belief in the gods, there is no chance for the church to teach them skills.
But whether it was reading scriptures or showing miracles, those tourists showed no intention of believing in the goddess. Did she really have to open the skill book?
Bishop Mo Fanwo believed that if he presented this result to His Holiness the Pope, His Holiness would doubt his ability, and there must be a mole among those five people.
Although Bishop Mofanwo had a sympathetic feeling towards Sal, they were on different sides after all, and it was his duty to safeguard the interests of the church.
As I was hesitating, the fourth day arrived quickly.
Bishop Mo Fanwo, gnawing at the pain, paid another data transfer fee. According to the park's original plan, the first tier of data transfer fees was one thousand gold coins. If there were at least one thousand visitors, and one of them entered the church and expressed a desire to worship the goddess, the Church of Four Seasons would pay the park an additional one hundred gold coins in conversion fees.
For the wealthy Four Seasons Church, thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins are nothing, but if you do this every day, the accumulated amount over time is terrifying.
Bishop Mo Fanwo decided to take things one step at a time.
The temperature in the park is pleasant in the early morning, and the sun shines on the church spire, sparkling with golden light. Approaching the church with its unique style is like approaching an exotic country, which makes tourists who come here feel novel.
It was in this atmosphere that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin walked into the Four Seasons Church.
Last night, the official account of Fantasy Park released a new update.
v Fantasy Paradise: Good evening, dear family. Yuan Yuanzi's relentless exploration of the history of another world has alarmed the four true gods who truly rule that world. After friendly negotiations, Yuan Yuanzi and the four gods have reached a partnership. The Four True Gods' churches will be stationed in the park, providing a channel for the park's products to be sold to that world... Currently stationed in the park is the Four Seasons Church of the Kingdom of Theodore. Bishop Mo Fanwo of the Four Seasons Church is a powerful level 30 Transcendent. He possesses the Four Seasons Skill Book and possesses a variety of Transcendent abilities. He is the skill instructor currently secured for the park's warriors. Warriors who have not yet bound their Red-Eyed Pokémon to acquire skills can visit the Four Seasons Church to learn Transcendent abilities from Bishop Mo Fanwo.
Welcome all warriors to the Four Seasons Church to learn skills. Currently, the Four Seasons Church has limited capacity, and only the first 1,000 warriors can enter each day. Please seize this opportunity!
…
After seeing this update, netizens are saying that the park is finally giving out benefits. They no longer have to envy those who have red-eyed elves. Instead, they are asked to learn skills from the evil god's lackeys, which is a bit scary when you think about it.
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Lin were just happy. They were old fans of the park. Grandpa Lin always had a strong opinion of the park because the director helped him find his granddaughter Lin Lanlan. Grandpa Zhang always had some opinions about the park, but that didn't stop him from visiting the park whenever he had time. He also kept recommending the park to his relatives and friends, and he had a deep love and strong criticism for the park.
Retired old people like them have arms and legs that are not as strong as those of young people. If they fall accidentally, they may break bones. Of course, they don’t want to squeeze into the crowd with young people to fight monsters. However, the various activities held in the park later clearly favored people with high merit rankings. The two old people had no choice but to go fight monsters together.
He didn't dare compete with the younger crowd for monsters; they were all just solo or two-player dungeons like those in the fantasy haunted house. At first, Grandpa Zhang was a bit resentful, thinking that if the park wanted to make money, they wouldn't have to force people to buy tickets and repeatedly grind monsters. Couldn't they just offer a VIP tier, and he could get Supreme VIP, and avoid that? He was old, finally retired, and wanted to live lavishly with his pension, but the park didn't have that.
But later, after fighting more monsters and watching more copies of the fantasy haunted house, the resentment in Uncle Zhang's heart disappeared unconsciously.
He often lamented to Uncle Lin that the park's storytelling team was truly exceptional. Every story in every room hit a nerve, leaving him wanting to hack the monsters into pieces. The Ah Zhenlan dungeon, in particular, was incredibly heartbreaking. The thought of that kind and lovely person meeting a tragic end made him buy a ton of props from the park's mall and torture the monsters in various ways.
After killing more monsters, the two old men also noticed a benefit, that is, their bodies seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. When they woke up in the morning, they no longer had the heavy feeling of their bodies slowly decaying, and they even had a faint feeling of getting younger and stronger.
This state is really addictive for the old man. Therefore, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin are now killing monsters at a fast speed. The only regret is that no red-eyed elves have noticed them after trying for a long time. Now they have no shortage of props and levels, but the most lacking is skills!
The appearance of the Four Seasons Church and the skill instructor was like a pillow for them when they were sleepy. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin came to the park as soon as they heard the news.
Although the popularity of Fantasy Park has always been very high, today is Tuesday, so the park’s limited 40,000 tickets have not been sold out. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin also successfully grabbed the first 1,000 spots.
As soon as I walked through the gate and into the Four Seasons Church, the usual broadcasting sound of the paradise came from above my head.
Dear visitors, this is the headquarters of the Four Seasons Church. The Four Seasons Church worships the Goddess of the Four Seasons. To avoid unnecessary obstacles on your path to learning, please be courteous to the Four Seasons Church...
As a streamer in the park, Xiao Zhou already had his own Red-Eyes Pokémon, but he still jumped in as soon as the Skill Instructor became available. He focused his live camera on the Four Seasons Church, and the audience in the live studio couldn't help but exclaim at the sight.
—I went to the Four Seasons Church on Saturday, and there was nothing there. The bishop, who led a few people, tried to hold it in for a long time, but nothing came out. It was hilarious. I never expected there would be such a large church today. It's amazing!
—The church in front opened on Sunday. Back then, Fantasyland hadn't been advertised yet. I saw it open and followed the others in out of curiosity. If I'd known the "Don't Bother Me" bishop was a skill trainer, I wouldn't have laughed at him getting hit on the head with bird poop. My favorability rating must have dropped now.
—Hahaha, are you guys trying to make me die of laughter? I’m Bishop Mo Fanwo!
—Don't you know? Fantasyland's construction speed has always been ranked first in the world. And honestly, the park's holographic technology is so amazing, how do you know it's a real building and not a holographic effect that deceives your eyes?
—I burst out laughing when I saw Leyuan's post last night. Yuanyuanzi must be so immersed in the story! She was clearly making up a story about a different world, but in the end, she even made up a story about someone coming to negotiate.
——But to be honest, the Four Seasons Church is really beautiful. It is such a waste to enshrine evil gods in such a beautiful church. It should be used as a holiday home for us.
Netizens’ calculations were about to jump out at Xiao Zhou’s face, but Xiao Zhou’s eyes were only fixed on the Four Seasons Church.
The church appears to be nine meters high, and the gate is about two meters. It is not grand, but not stingy either. It can be considered a small church, which is in line with the characteristics of a church residence.
The church's architectural design primarily reflects the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The main doors are inlaid with crimson and ice-blue glass, representing the intense heat of summer and the bitter cold of winter. A central axis runs through the center of the two doors, flanked by symmetrical totems: lush foliage under the scorching sun on the left, and withered branches covered in frost on the right, vividly depicting the changing seasons.
As you walk through the door and into the church, the totems and colors change again.
This time, it's the vibrant green of spring and the vibrant orange of autumn. The vibrant blossoms of spring and the abundant fruits of autumn complement each other, adorning every corner of the church without appearing overly crowded. Anyone who enters the church marvels at the builder's masterful control of color and image.
Xiao Zhou is not a major in art, but he felt it was pleasing to the eye as soon as he came in. The entire church, whether it is the exterior or the interior, makes people feel extremely harmonious and comfortable.
Xiao Zhou took a quick tour of the church with his camera. The Four Seasons Church is roughly composed of three parts: the front hall, the nave and the prayer hall.
The front hall appears to be a landscaped area, with a brief history of the Church of Four Seasons inscribed on the walls. The central nave has numerous seats and a platform-like area, likely where believers enter to receive sermons and edification from the clergy. The prayer hall is simpler, featuring a statue of a goddess, where believers offer worship and prayer. There are also rest rooms and toilets for the clergy. While small, it's perfectly equipped.
——I can't believe this is the evil god's church! But come to think of it, if the evil god wasn't so well disguised, it would be difficult for him to gain the trust of the people!
——It’s beautiful here, we’ve found a new check-in spot!
The audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed like this.
Bishop Mofanwo and the clergy behind him naturally did not miss the amazement on the faces of these tourists.
Bishop Mo Fanwo breathed a sigh of relief and thought, perhaps there is no need to go to the point of making the skill book public. Look at these tourists, aren't they already conquered by the beauty of the church?
Bishop Mo Fanwo, wearing a robe representing the four seasons, regained his confidence. He said to Xiao Zhou who came up to him, "Sir, what do you think of our church?"
Xiao Zhou nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up, "It looks great, very impressive!"
Bishop Mo Fanwo was about to say that this was all a revelation from the Goddess of the Four Seasons when he heard Xiao Zhou continue, "The park is truly thoughtful! Even a church is so beautifully designed, they must have hired exceptional architects and art experts!"
Bishop Mofanwo: ...
What was this Earthling talking about? He emphasized, "This is our Four Seasons Church."
Xiao Zhou nodded, "Yes, isn't the church of your Four Seasons Church also designed by Paradise?"
Bishop Mofanwo: ...
He argued with Xiao Zhou for a long time, but no matter how much evidence he presented, Xiao Zhou firmly believed that the Four Seasons Church was a product of the paradise, which made Bishop Mo Fanwo so angry that he lost control of his expression on the spot.
Not only him, but other clergymen were also treated coldly. They reported the matter to Bishop Mofanwo, but the bishop believed that there was a traitor among the five people, so he did not completely believe their words. He gave up those young people with idiot minds and chose to preach to the elderly instead.
In Bishop Mo Fanwo's eyes, no matter how high a person's family background or how knowledgeable they are, when they grow old, they will involuntarily calm down and will not cling to false knowledge as the truth like young people do, just like himself. He chose Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin.
As soon as they saw him, Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Lin said happily, "The park really gave us old people a discount this time. The skills instructor actually came here on his own initiative."
Bishop Mofanwo: ...
What skill trainer? I haven't agreed yet!
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin, "Hello, teacher, are you going to teach us skills now? We don't want to overdo it, just two per person, without duplication."
Bishop Mofanwo: ...
He coughed lightly. "I just want to tell you something common sense. The grandeur and beauty of the Four Seasons Church is a gift from the Goddess and has nothing to do with Paradise."
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin didn't care about this and just asked, "Can you teach us some skills now?"
Bishop Mo Fanwo uttered two words, "...I can't."
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin's enthusiasm faded in the blink of an eye. "If you can't, then why are you blocking us and delaying us from finding a skills instructor?"
Then they bypassed Bishop Mofanwo and went straight for the other clergymen wearing four-colored robes.
"The people of our country are completely different from yours. Even if it's a god, if they don't see tangible benefits, they won't be believed..."
Thrall's words echoed in his ears again, and Bishop Mofanwo felt a little regretful. Why did he insist on inflicting his own past experience when His Majesty Thrall had already provided practical experience? At this rate, he would be wasting gold coins without winning over a single believer! No!
Bishop Mo Fanwo took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
A few more elderly people came before us, a group of energetic old ladies.
When Aunt Liu saw the handsome old man, her smile brightened. "You're the bishop, right? Can you teach us some skills?"
Aunt Liu and the group of older ladies behind her are also unskilled wanderers in this world!
Bishop Mo Fanwo was so shocked that he lost some confidence. Hearing this, he said tentatively, "Okay, but the prerequisite is that you must swear to believe in my Lord."
Aunt Liu said proudly, "That's nothing. We are all happy to believe in your Lord. So, you're the Goddess of the Four Seasons, right?"
Bishop Mofanwo was delighted to hear this. He ignored the disrespectful words they said and immediately took them to the prayer room and asked them to swear an oath of faith.
The old ladies had a good memory. They recited the long oath and then excitedly asked Bishop Mo Fanwo to teach them some skills.
However……
In the eyes of Bishop Mo Fanwo, there was no light of faith at all on these people who had taken the oath!
His face turned pale and he felt that he had been deceived.
The old ladies also felt cheated. Why didn't this handsome old man give them the skills even though they had completed the task? Could it be that he couldn't afford to play?
Bishop Mo Fanwo's eyes flickered. The oath was binding. How could these people not have any sincerity towards the goddess? Could it be that they already had other beliefs?
In order to find out the reason, Bishop Mofanwo asked, "Have you already believed in other gods?"
Aunt Liu nodded, very confidently, "Yes, the God of Wealth, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Goddess Nuwa, we go to worship them every year."
Bishop Mofanwo: ...
That night, as the ground dragons were about to enter the church to continue their defecation mission, they suddenly heard a sobbing sound. The sobbing sounded angry, sad, helpless, and miserable.
The earth dragons were stunned for a moment when they heard the crying, then turned around happily and ran towards the City of Pranks.
"Little King Thorn! Little King Thorn, come and see! The people of the Four Seasons Church are crying because we bullied them!"
