Chapter 208 Lies
"About 15 percent of churches did not respond to our inquiries, and another 28 percent were in disarray."

A celebrant is reporting the current situation to the Pope.

The emergence of the second sun caused many people in the church to fall into chaos, and the underground churches took this opportunity to begin spreading their "heresies" and successfully deceived some believers to join their ranks.

The Pope glanced out the window. There were two suns hanging in the sky at the same time. The originally huge and blazing sun now seemed to have become smaller, while the sun that had just risen was getting bigger.

A large amount of power of faith is flowing from the original sun into the new sun.

Waves of wailing and whispering rang in the Pope's ears. His soul was in great pain.

"They're in chaos. What the hell is going on?"

Reinhardt's team hid in the shadows.

They finally found this underground church, then bypassed their defenses and sneaked into this underground church.

Although located underground, the church was still bathed in sunlight, but where there was light there must be shadows. Under the protection of Ella's magic, they could barely hide in the shadows.

"They're not messy, they seem excited and busy with something."

Ella noticed that they were gathering, with teams of priests leaving the underground church, each accompanied by their crusaders.

"It looks like something big happened outside."

This underground church had been hiding itself very well before. Reinhardt and his team spent a lot of effort to locate a contact between them and the outside world, and finally found this place.

"kindness?"

The sword at Reinhardt's waist trembled, as if he had sensed something and was a little confused.

"what happened?"

Reinhardt had always respected his partner, who was extremely knowledgeable, especially about some long-forgotten historical matters, and who knew more about them than many experts who had devoted their entire lives to research them.

In previous adventures, especially in some ancient ruins, this long sword named Gregory helped them avoid many dangers left over from ancient times. There were also some ancient undead spirits that did not even exist in the records now. It was with his tips that Reinhardt and his team found their weaknesses.

Gregory was in a state of madness for a while, and finally shook.

If converted into a human expression, it would be roughly the same as shaking your head.

"Maybe it's an illusion."

Gregory regained his composure and looked around.

"Be careful. Although these people are different from the church, they can actually borrow the power of the sun."

This church is different from other churches in many aspects, including the architectural style and structure. The biggest one is that there is no statue of the sun god in this church.

Instead, there is a relief of the sun.

"I don't quite understand why the sun god would give power to both parties at the same time."

Reinhardt took advantage of the gap between the two patrolling teams of the Skitarii and led everyone through the corridor and into a small room. Soon, the footsteps of the patrolling Skitarii were heard outside.

The next gap is in twenty minutes. They need to wait here for a while.

"The next section of the road should be much easier to navigate. Only this section will be patrolled more frequently."

Generally speaking, the core area of ​​the Sun God Cult is the chapel used for prayer and the holy relic room behind it. These two places contain the objects most closely related to the gods in the entire church, the statues that receive prayers and wishes, and the holy objects whose names are recorded in the church scriptures.

Even the churches of these heretics should not be much different in this regard. At least that's what Gregory said. "Something's not right."

Reinhardt looked at the room in front of him and felt that there was something strange.

"This room always feels a little..."

However, he couldn't tell the source of this abnormal feeling.

"This room is redundant."

Gregory at his waist explained to him the source of that strange feeling.

"In theory, in churches of this period, this should be a reinforced structure to ensure that the core chapel and sacred room will not be threatened by the enemy's first wave of spells when they are bombarded with a large number of spells."

Ella frowned, as if she had noticed something.

"this period?"

It seems that Gregory was familiar with this style of church.

"During the period of rebellion against the undead, these buildings were military fortresses to fight against the undead. However, the situation has been difficult these days, and slowly, some people began to organize prayers in these fortresses to unite the scattered people's hearts."

There was a hint of nostalgia in Gregory's tone, but it soon faded away, and by the end of the passage, his tone had returned to normal.

"What do you think can best unite people?"

These ancient histories were not the main focus of Reinhardt and his team. Especially the history before humans truly became the mainstream race on this continent, most of which had been completely lost, and only some immortal races, such as dragons and elves, had a few records.

"sun?"

Ella detected it, but soon he noticed a problem.

"The sun? I don't think I've seen any description of the sun in those ancient books."

As a wizard, Ella also came into contact with some ancient books through various channels, many of which originated from other races, which mentioned the great rebellion of humans against the undead.

"Because the sun was originally just a hoax, an image we borrowed from a description we saw in some ancient book."

There was silence in the room.

"So, what about this sun now?"

Ella asked quietly.

"That's why he gives power to both sides. He is man-made, and he embodies the wishes and beliefs of the people, as well as the legends of human heroes. He is a man-made god. As long as you believe in him from the bottom of your heart and pray to him, he will give you power in return."

Ella always felt that Gregory seemed to be hiding something, but she didn't know this history and didn't even know where to start.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic. We still have to go to the core area of ​​this church..."

Gregory was interrupted by a click. A door opened in the wall in front of them.

"Don't look at me. I just suddenly wanted to see if there would be any record of that period of history in these books."

The clicking sound came from Reinhardt's hands, as he was about to pull out a book from the bookshelf in the room.
