Chapter 379 You are the famous Josh, right?
Josh wanted to run away.
He didn't understand much about the church, but based on his meager religious knowledge, what he had done was probably enough to be burned at the stake ten times.
He founded a religion, no, a cult, in the name of Castel.
This was actually nothing. If it happened to other lords, they would at most be whipped. After all, he was not stupid. Although he borrowed Castel's name, he tried his best to praise Hughes in the holy scriptures. If he made a good excuse, it might be a minor problem of "good intentions leading to bad results".
But who would have thought that the lord actually established a church. Now Josh was promoted to a heretic on the spot.
As we all know, heretics are much more hateful than pagans.
And Josh could have made up a lot of stories about Hughes himself in the holy scriptures of the secret order, so he actually pushed himself to the throne of the chief heretic.
Not only that, when Josh learned that the church established by the lord was called "Imperial Truth", he felt terrible.
After the Queen's death, the empire completely fell into the hands of several major churches. The royal family was completely driven away from the center of power. It was no longer the empire it once was.
The lord is a border earl who has a legitimate claim to the Storm Ocean and possesses such a powerful military force. Now he has extended his hand to Blood Harbor. Now all he needs to do is raise his arm, declare that the orthodoxy of the empire is in Castel, and establish a second empire or something. It's very simple.
But that would be a bit strange. The Church inherited the orthodoxy of the empire, the prince of Tis raised the banner of resistance against the empire, and the remote frontiers began to spread the truth of the empire, trying to become the second empire. Josh shook his head, as if trying to get rid of the messy thoughts out of his mind.
There are many possibilities, but no matter how the situation develops, his secret society will only be a stumbling block to the Lord's progress!
Josh just felt bitter in his mouth.
He saw the entire battle just now, with so many tall aliens participating in the battle - he later learned that they were banshees.
Then think of the miraculous inventions of the lord.
Josh felt that he had glimpsed the truth: Zeus must be the head of some evil secret church, who, under the guise of some industry, secretly released forbidden knowledge in order to achieve great things. Although he had not yet figured out what the specific great things were, this explanation was extremely reasonable!
Why did Castel have so many extraordinary creatures following him? Why did the industry develop so fast? Why did the entire island disappear and then reappear? Qiao Xi didn't dare to think about it anymore. He began to be suspicious and suspected that the assassination of the queen was related to the lord!
There is no time to hesitate, now is the best chance to escape, it will be too late if you leave later!
Josh held his breath, stood up from his position as inconspicuously as possible, and tiptoed to a nearby alley.
Everything went well, the next step was... Josh's raised foot froze.
He looked at the little girl with white hair in the alley ahead and opened his eyes wide.
It took him a second to react, and he desperately gestured to keep quiet - but it was too late.
"Master-priest!!!"
Gwen rushed from the alley crying and leaping into Josh, wiping tears and snot on his robe.
All the believers of the entire secret order looked over.
"Gwen. Woohoo Gwen is so scared. Gwen got lost outside and almost couldn't come back."
The believers of the secret society only then noticed their chief priest and rushed over enthusiastically.
"Master Priest, that's great, Master Priest, we survived!"
"Praise the High Priest! Praise my Lord Shuus!!"
"Master Priest, I am hungry. When can you make holy water?"
"Master Priest, can we also go and see the Envoy of God?"
Josh was surrounded by believers, his excited words gradually turned into cheers, and then the fanatical believers began to throw him up and catch him.
Qiao Xi's eyes were empty, as if his heart was dead.
He could no longer say that he had made up the holy scriptures.
It was not until Josh was carried by his believers all the way to the beach that he suddenly felt something was wrong.
As the high priest, he would of course be burned at the stake, but what about the believers of these secret orders?
Would Hughes really forgive these heretics who believed in his fabricated doctrines?
These refugees from the North finally found their home in Blood Harbor. Josh's heart trembled. He struggled to get up and hurriedly shouted to the believers: "Children, run, that is not home! Those people believe in something different from us."
"Not what?"
A huge shadow fell on him, and Josh's struggling movements froze.
He raised his head and looked at the tall steel giant and the Banshee wearing full body armor.
Looking from a distance, I didn't feel anything. I just felt that the banshee was just that big compared to the [Mother].
But when he stood in front of it, Qiao Xi really felt the oppressive force.
Two blue lights faintly lit up in the all-inclusive helmet, and the banshee was looking down at him.
"No, nothing. I mean, we are also the people of Castel, not outsiders."
The tall enchantress stood up and patted his head with satisfaction: "Yes, we all fight for Castel, right?"
Josh could only nod his head repeatedly - it might also be because the banshee slapped him, after all, all six of her hands came up to slap him.
Although the first contact was a little difficult to describe, these Castel troops were unexpectedly friendly to the believers of the Secret Order.
Josh was even invited to take a tour of the big iron box - the engineers at the shipyard repeatedly emphasized that it was an ironclad ship, but Josh still felt that it looked a bit like a big coffin.
He had to wait here for a while. It was said that the lord had gone to negotiate with the prince in person and would not be back for a while.
Josh was somewhat desperate. Since he couldn't run away anyway, he might as well go for a walk.
Just like a prisoner about to be hanged doesn't care whether there is one or two noose around his neck.
The Crusaders who came with the ship were treating the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield in the ruins of Blood Harbor. Josh wanted to go down to help, but was stopped by a Banshee.
Her armor was a little damaged, so she simply threw away her helmet and let her long golden hair flutter in the wind.
Qiao Xi recognized her—it was the banshee who had fought against [Mother] in person, and her name was said to be Nini.
Although he knew that he would not live long, Qiao Xi still had a solemn expression.
He had long been impressed by the sight of Nini charging forward on the battlefield. Such a powerful warrior must be a fearless hero, right?
She deserves respect from everyone.
But Nini's first words left him confused.
"You are the famous Qiao Xi, right? I'm Nini, and I want to interview you and write a report about you. Is that okay?"
