Chapter 297 Thank you, Lord Visas (End of this volume)
The Rhine executives present fell silent.
...disclose the news of "Uru" to all churches including the Esoteric Church. Although everyone could probably guess that Rango would do this, when it was actually brought up, everyone was still shocked.
Has things really come to this?
Does that "Ulu" really need to rely on the cooperation of the eight major churches to fight against it?
"I know what you are worried about." Rango said slowly, "Since the establishment of Rhine, we have never cooperated with the secret sect. Even with the other three orthodox sects, there have not been many such cooperations to hunt down a certain person. But we must face the reality. If we don't do this, we may never get back the lost body parts in this lifetime. After all, until now, we still can't be sure whether that guy is Uru."
As mentioned before, Fig had been reporting information during the operation, and also mentioned that they had not found Uru, but only the Seven-tone Player who was suspected to be being hunted by Holy Sound.
In other words, from their perspective, Fig had no confirmed news about Uru until he lost contact, and there was no way to determine how many body parts were on the body of the Seven-tone Player. In the end, did he kill Uru, or did Uru kill him, or maybe the two were actually the same person who just used the ability of a certain body part to disguise themselves.
These information are all unknown, so they have to put Ulu's name in quotation marks to refer to this unidentified individual.
The Rhine Church had been chasing the enemy for several months, but they didn't even know the opponent's true identity, and two bishops had died. This was not only a great shame, but also proved what Rango said just now - it was impossible for them, the church alone, to catch that guy back.
"But is cooperation really useful? Especially with the secret cult." Bishop Nanzhi still questioned, "From the Wildfire Holy Cult this time, we can also see that we can't be sure whether those secret cult members are human or not... After all, even dogs want to become gods. It is too dangerous to cooperate with them."
Rocky couldn't help but nodded.
Yeah, it's weird working with dogs.
"Wildfire is an exception. After all, their original god is Senluo. But the remaining three secret sects... at least their gods are still normal." Rango said, "In this case, there is naturally room for negotiation."
Even though Lango said this, Bishop Nan was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, can't we just cooperate with the Orthodox Church?"
Rango glanced at Bishop Nan and said calmly, "Think about the current situation of the four major orthodox churches first."
Bishop Nan was suddenly speechless.
Yes, the four orthodox religions that have been able to suppress the four major secret religions for thousands of years, now Rhine has lost two bishops, Lyra is half destroyed, even the gods have begun to sleep, and the Holy Sound is even more miserable, with no order at all. The once world-renowned players are being chased and killed by the stud breeders like pigs, and they need to ask Rhine for help to stop the reckoning.
Only "Star Legacy" has not been affected.
But everyone knew that it was only temporary. After all, there were also parts of Visas' body in the Star Relics, and they were extremely important parts - the "right eye". "Uru" with the left eye would definitely not let it go.
When Bishop Nan thought of this, he felt a headache.
It has only been a short time since the four major churches that have ruled this land for a thousand years have been damaged to this extent.
So he no longer raised any objections.
But Rocky asked at this time. He frowned and asked, "But how can we cooperate? Just give them the news and ask them to cooperate? I don't think those cultists will be so easy to talk to."
"It's simple. Through the Land of Contract."
"The Land of Contract?" Bishop Nan said, "Isn't the Land of Contract always aloof from worldly affairs?"
"No, they are not indifferent to worldly affairs. They are only concerned about matters related to Visas." Rango had obviously thought of this place a long time ago, and said lightly, "Now an unprecedented guy has appeared, who may have four corpses at the same time. We cannot predict what will happen next. The Land of Contract will not sit idly by at this time. Don't forget that until now, the eight major churches are still sending power to the Land of Contract, just to lock up the most difficult thing."
Hearing this, the top executives of Rhine nodded at the same time.
Indeed, there are constraints in the land of contract, and both orthodox and esoteric religions need to abide by the rules.
Well...you need to follow the rules...
Rocky suddenly thought of Taoyuan Township and his experience of losing huge losses under the rules, and couldn't help feeling angry and uneasy.
But his emotion didn't last long, and Rango stopped him again: "I'll leave this matter to you, Rocky."
Rocky was stunned: "Me?"
"Well, you contact the Land of Contract in my name. After that, the Land of Contract should send out invitations to all major churches to hold a gathering and...wanted notice for the gods to witness." Rango said lightly, "At that time, you will go to the Land of Contract as a representative of Rhine."
Everyone looked at Rocky.
Because Rango's meaning is very clear, Rocky represents Rhine, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next Pope of Rhine.
Rocky immediately touched his chest and insisted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Rango said "hmm", and when he was about to end the call, Rocky asked again.
"If such a cooperation really begins... then how should the spoils be distributed?" Rocky asked. "There are eight major churches. Even if we exclude Holy Sound and Wildfire, there are still six major churches. And Uru obviously doesn't have six body parts on him."
This is indeed a very realistic problem.
Rango fell silent.
Before, they had always chosen to keep it secret, wanting to capture "Ulu" and take away all his body parts, but once they decided to cooperate, this idea became unrealistic.
"Just get your eyes back." Rango said slowly.
"Just the eyes?" Rocky said, "But the fingers also came out from us."
"No, just the eyes are enough." Rango said calmly, "Don't think about whether it's a loss or not. There are more important things in this world than getting more body parts."
Rocky asked subconsciously: "What's the matter?"
Rango looked at Rocky meaningfully: "That is to prevent others from getting more body parts."
Rocky paused for a moment.
"Remember, Rocky," Rango said, "Visas's power is indeed strong, but one or two pieces of corpses can't change anything."
"Over the past thousand years, there have been countless holders of corpse parts. Some of them became powerful because of their corpse parts, while others were born powerful and the corpse parts made them even more powerful. These people have done many things that shocked the world, but they were only temporary. The gods are still the gods, and the church is still the church. What's the point of these people being so powerful?"
"We don't need a stronger power, we just need others to have no stronger power, understand?"
Rocky bowed his head deeply: "I understand, Your Majesty."
…
Bai Wei took Ivana into the town of Yade.
Different from the desolation and silence half a month ago, the current town of Yade is like a new bud growing on a dead branch, bursting into life from decline.
Although the people in the town didn't know what had happened, didn't know about the battle at the sacrificial site, didn't know that Senluo and Wildfire were gone, and didn't know that this land had become a true godless place, but what they knew was... the night was safe.
Along the way, Bai Wei and Yivina have also witnessed the people of this land gradually changing their mindsets.
From the initial discovery that there were no more zombies in the night, I was shocked but still didn't dare to go out, to the midway adventure in the night, and now I have accepted the departure of the night and started to try to accept a new life.
Now that they have left the curse, there is expression and color on their faces.
And all of this fell into Ivana's eyes.
But somehow, Ivana lowered her head.
“Why don’t you dare look at them?” Bai Wei rubbed Ivana’s head and said with a smile, “Didn’t you cause all this?”
“No, it wasn’t me.” Ivana said sullenly, “You brought it.”
Bai Wei knew what Ivana was thinking.
For hundreds of years, she, her grandmother, and successive saints have remained at their posts after Sen Luo's death, just to "guide the way for people in the darkness."
This can be said to be their spiritual support.
It was not until Ivina knew the truth that she realized that they were not guarding Senluo, but were helping Wildfire. In other words, their persistence for a hundred years was not to guide the people in the darkness, but to prolong the darkness. If Bai Wei had not come, they would have brought eternal darkness to this land.
This is the most contradictory point for Ivana now.
When she first discovered the truth, Ivina was not so shocked, because she had Ade by her side at that time, and she needed to guide the confused Ade, so she could not be confused.
But now Ade is gone, and for Ivana, the last person who needs her on this land is also gone.
So the more enthusiastically people smiled, the lower Ivina lowered her head.
Naturally, Bai Wei saw all of this, but he didn't say much. He just smiled and rubbed Ivana's head again, leading her to move forward to find new spiritual support.
After a while, he stopped.
"arrive."
arrive?
Aren't they still in the middle of the road? Where are they?
Ivana raised her head with some confusion, and immediately found Bai Wei's target.
Although Bai Wei didn't tell her who he was looking for here, Ivana still recognized him because he was so special.
It was a dirty, skinny little girl.
She sat alone beside a dilapidated house, staring blankly at the sky.
That appearance was out of place in the newly reborn town of Yade, as if it had been left in the past, its entire body a deathly gray.
"She is..." Yvina asked.
"She is Ade's client."
Bai Wei took out the worn-out music box from his arms again, and then told Ivina about the commission regarding the music box.
After hearing this, Ivana's mouth opened wider and wider: "Her parents are gone?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said, "We found the bodies of her parents. There is no mistake."
"Does she have any other relatives?" Ivina regretted asking this question.
Because the little girl's appearance said it all.
"Maybe, maybe not." Bai Wei said slowly, "Even if she has no relatives, she will have no problem living, but this is not what we need to consider. We only need to consider the entrustment."
"...But her parents are already dead." Ivana hesitated, "Should we tell her this news?"
"Don't you think I should tell her?"
"I... don't know." Ivana looked at the little girl in the distance in confusion. The little girl would stand up from time to time and look towards the entrance of the town with hope, but in the end hope would turn into disappointment, like a silent drama. So she whispered, "It's been so long, she should be able to guess it, right?"
"Of course, she's just young, not stupid." Bai Wei said, "When she handed the music box to us, she already had the answer in her heart."
"Then why do we still..."
"Ade also asked me this question." Bai Wei interrupted Ivana and held out the worn-out music box to her. "Now it's your turn to fill in the final answer."
...the final answer?
Yvina looked at the music box, then at the little girl in the distance.
At this moment she felt a little dazed, as if the little girl in the distance was not someone else, but herself.
Then the confusion in Ivina's eyes gradually dissipated, and then she stretched out her hand and took the music box from Bai Wei.
Bai Wei smiled and asked, "Have you made a decision?"
"Well... you told me that the dead cannot be resurrected." Ivana walked towards the little girl with the music box, "Now it's my turn to tell her."
Bai Wei stood there, smiling as he watched Ivana walk up to the little girl and hand over the music box.
After a brief moment of daze, the little girl opened her mouth but no sound came out. It was as if she wanted to cry but her body had forgotten how to cry.
So Ivina held the little girl in her arms, just like she did to Ade.
The little girl then started to cry out loud.
The voice is so sad, yet so loud.
It was as if this lifeless pantomime had ended in an instant, giving everything color.
“That’s great.”
Bai Wei knew that Ivana was no longer confused, so he chuckled and turned away.
Ivana seemed to sense something as well, and looked up at Bai Wei's receding figure.
But she didn't chase after her. Instead, she hugged the sobbing little girl in her arms tighter.
"thank you……"
Ivana said softly.
"Lord Visas."
