With the influx of Holy Light Tribunal personnel, the remnants of the temple who had been causing trouble in the shadows were exposed one by one.
In a dark sewer.
Three followers of the Dark Star God are plotting something big.
"Sigh, a lot of my brothers have been arrested by those lunatics lately."
"We've all hidden here, we shouldn't be discovered, right?"
"Of course, no one would have expected that the noble followers of the Dark Star God would be in this situation..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Four bald men dressed in white robes appeared to the side.
“In the name of the Holy Light, you have been arrested.”
Two cold voices rang out simultaneously.
Holy Light Shackles and Chains descended simultaneously, binding the three Dark Star God believers tightly.
The one in the middle, in particular, was bound by two shackles, enjoying double the pleasure.
They frowned at the extra person, exchanged a glance, and tentatively asked, "Half for each of us?"
"Can."
Seeing the holy sword of light descending from the sky, the three, stunned by the series of events, finally snapped out of their daze and hurriedly said:
"Wait, we're willing to turn ourselves in to the Church of Holy Light!"
"My lords, I beg you, please give me a chance to confess!"
If someone falls into the hands of a church preacher or a spreader of holy light, they'll only get a verbal sparring session or a beating, but if they fall into the hands of these bald men, no one seems to come out alive.
In some circles, their reputation is even worse than that of the undead.
"The appeal was rejected; non-believers in Holy Light have no right to make such a proposal."
"Begin sentencing."
......
Holy Spirit City.
“Great Lord, these are the results of our actions this month. Please take a look.”
The head of the Holy Light Tribunal held up a list half a person's height with both hands and bowed respectfully.
"All of these?"
Jiang Yan took the thick roster and stared in disbelief.
There must be at least a million people involved, and it's only been half a month!
"Yes, Your Majesty. Due to limited manpower, these are only remnants of the temples of three duchies. Our next plan is to deploy manpower to the remaining duchies."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly and opened the roster.
Number 1, Elendt.
Location: City of Travelers.
Main sins: Attempting to overthrow the Church of Holy Light and claiming to be a god.
The basis for the judgment was the act of littering publications from the Holy Light Daily.
Punishment: Punishment Room No. 4 of the Holy Light Court, 10 days.
Number 2, Yakel.
Location: Gale City.
Major sin: Intending to persecute believers of the Holy Light Church.
The basis for the verdict: being impolite and shouting during church morning service.
Punishment: Confinement in the Holy Light Tribunal for 100 days.
Number 3, Duke.
Territory: Duchy of Durand.
Major sins: plotting to blow up church temples and murder believers.
Basis for judgment: Inference based on chat logs.
Punishment: Purification.
Number 4...
Jiang Yan was stunned, looking at the somewhat absurd reason, and after a long while, he said:
"Anna, didn't you tell them to take it easy?"
"Yes, Holy Lord. They should have all been sentenced to purification, but now most of them have only been sentenced to modification. With the healing angels around, even the dead can be brought back to life."
"Uh... never mind."
Looking at Annalia's innocent expression, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that this girl was also an extremist, and even initially thought that non-believers in the Holy Light should be purified.
"How could I let one radical teach another radical to be gentler?"
Jiang Yan shook his head in frustration.
"You may all step back now. In the future, don't be so radical in your actions. Listen more to... well, in short, unless they are extremely heinous criminals, leave the rest to the preachers and those who spread the holy light for education, understand?"
"It is the Holy Lord."
The head of the Holy Light Tribunal seemed to sense Jiang Yan's displeasure and explained somewhat nervously, "Holy Lord, although our methods may be a little crude, as believers of the Holy Light, we would never wrong a kind person."
"I will personally use my skills to conduct a second trial for all the sinners sent back to the court, so please rest assured."
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the other party's abilities.
Holy Light Judgment: Designates a being to be judged. All the sins committed and the good deeds done by the person will be reproduced and quantified, and the person will ultimately receive the designated judgment.
I have misunderstood them somewhat.
Seeing the somewhat nervous expression on the director's face, Jiang Yan gave a gentle smile:
“You have done very well, but occasionally showing the mercy of the Holy Light will better demonstrate its majesty.”
"I will obey the divine decree."
The director breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and withdrew.
Watching the other party depart, Jiang Yan opened the drastically changed panel of the vassal states.
[Northern Ireland Alliance 3/17]
Faction: Holy Spirit City.
Area: square kilometers.
Total population: 87.31 million.
Current faith level: Honored.
Faith output: 32,000/day.
It must be said that although the methods used by the Holy Light Tribunal were a bit extreme, the results were truly remarkable.
In a short period of time, he even crossed three levels of faith and reached the level of respect.
This is easy to understand, since all dissenting opinions have been eliminated.
Furthermore, thanks to their contributions, the Church of Holy Light quickly established itself in those new principalities.
The transformation of the undead's appearance is progressing exceptionally smoothly.
Jiang Yan tried clicking on the advanced mission.
[The Holy Lord of Light never breaks his word; progress reached 68.31 million/30 million.]
It has already exceeded the set target by more than double.
Although waiting a while longer to fully control the entire Northland might yield better rewards.
But there's no need.
We've already been delayed long enough. The strongest of the other lords have already reached Gold Tier 1. If we don't work harder now, we'll be overtaken.
Moreover, once you reach the demigod level as soon as possible, the level cap of your familiars will be unlocked. With the addition of the four high-ranking undead gods you unexpectedly acquired, you might even be qualified to explore the sealed world fragment, the laboratory of the third undead emperor.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan silently recited it in his heart.
"Submit the task."
[Ding! Checking the progress of the advanced task, please wait...]
[Completion rate: 2.277, Rating: A]
[Completion Time: 46 days, Rating: S+]
Overall rating: S.
[The initial stage of the quest "The Holy Lord of Light Never Breaks His Promise" is complete. You have fulfilled your promise to your subordinates and are worthy of the name of the Holy Lord of Light.]
[You have obtained a Demigod Advancement Permit*1 (Exclusive), and you have obtained a Legendary Item Selection Box*1.]
A token imbued with the power of laws and a treasure chest gleaming with golden light appeared before them.
Jiang Yan's gaze lingered on the treasure chest.
Legendary Item Selection Box: Allows you to select one item from most legendary items.
How to use: Simply open the window to get what you want.
Upon seeing this description, Jiang Yanxin's heart began to pound violently for no apparent reason.
If I remember correctly, talent advancement fragments are legendary items. And he only needs one more fragment to advance his talent.
"I need Talent Advancement Fragment 1".
Silently reciting the command, Jiang Yan reached out and opened the treasure chest.
A dazzling golden light shone.
A broken fragment lay quietly in the center.
