Chapter 392 Four Saints and One
The Lord of Justice and Glory is one of the larger illegal faiths currently prevalent in the committee.
It is an illegal belief fabricated based on Roland's experiences since entering Donnar, combined with the traditional knight's faith and virtues.
It mainly focuses on promoting Roland's great achievements in establishing the War Council, pacifying the chaos, and establishing a new order.
Justice refers to Roland's elimination of all evil forces and the establishment of a relatively fair and just [Golden Law], while glory refers to Roland's killing of Kan'ozu and defeating the Green Tide.
Because this kind of propaganda is more in line with the ideas of the Donnar people, the Lord of Justice and Glory has been unable to stop it despite repeated bans.
However, it was mainly because Roland had no intention of being ruthless towards them.
As a person with relatively high moral standards, although Roland set many restrictions on religious beliefs, except for the killing of people when he first took over the churches in various places in Donnar, Roland was not so cruel at other times. The most he imposed were fines and imprisonment.
For example, Daphne in front of Julius.
As a religious figure in the Glory Church, Daphne has the right to preach in religious places. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with her handing out flyers. As for the illegal beliefs she promotes, it is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either.
This is mainly because illegal beliefs ≠ cults. Promoting beliefs defined as cults by the committee is a major crime, but promoting illegal beliefs can only be considered a minor crime. In addition, since Daphne voluntarily surrendered herself and had a good attitude, the punishment was as simple as she said.
After all, although Roland banned all beliefs related to him, and the Administration Department and the Law Department also carried out Roland's orders, even so, the Administration Department did not dare to list these related beliefs as cults.
I'm afraid the management department doesn't want to do anything about labeling Roland's beliefs as a cult.
Moreover, fines and imprisonment are only imposed on religious personnel. Roland is relatively merciful towards ordinary believers. Even if they believe in illegal beliefs, as long as they do not affect others and do not preach, the committee will not do anything to them.
Therefore, under the guidance of religious people like Daphne, the number of followers of illegal faiths is also growing at a slow pace.
In a lounge in the church, Julius, who had just tortured Daphne, looked at Daphne who was sitting obediently on the chair in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said.
“I confiscated these flyers.”
"what?"
Daphne looked down at Julius, her tone somewhat surprised.
Julius looked up and met her gaze, then waved the flyer in his hand and said with a smile.
"Sister Daphne, have you forgotten what my position is? Religious affairs are also within my scope of responsibility."
After saying that, Julius stood up and prepared to go to the administration department with the flyer. She planned to submit these matters to the administration department and ask them to pass them on to Roland.
He dared to preach openly in front of the administrator Julius. He is no longer an ordinary illegal priest. He must be dealt with severely!
Julius glanced at Daphne from the corner of his eye. He knew that he wouldn't die anyway.
Watching Julius walking towards the door and preparing to leave, Daphne looked at the reflective ground swept by the monks, accurately calculated the distance, slid down to her knees, slid to Julius' side at the speed of light, hugged her feet, and spoke loudly.
“Quack, please don’t do that, Julius, respected administrator! If other people knew that I was the one who exposed myself, I would definitely be kicked out. Please, I’m willing to do anything!”
Julius looked down at Daphne who was hugging her legs and spoke in a serious tone.
"You are willing to do anything. What kind of mindset do you have to say such a thing? This kind of thing cannot be hidden from the chairman. Sister Daphne, before it gets out of hand, stop it now. I will ask the chairman for mercy for you."
"No, no, no."
Daphne held onto Julius's feet, refusing to let go, and spoke stubbornly.
"All our actions are within the constraints of the Golden Rule."
"Us? Anyone else?"
Julius raised his eyebrows slightly, slapped away Daphne's hand that was reaching for the flyer, and said.
"Um"
Daphne raised her head, looked at Julius with tears in her eyes, and said in a wronged tone.
"Oh, my dear Julius, for the sake of your recognition of me as your sister, return me to me, okay?"
"Who are your companions? Tell me."
Julius ignored the pitiful Daphne, looked at her calmly, and asked in a calm tone.
After hearing what Julius said, Daphne did not choose to answer, but looked at her eagerly. In response, Julius stretched out his hands, pinched her cheeks, and said.
"Hurry up and tell me. I'm the one asking you now. If you ask me later, it won't be me who's going to do it."
Hearing Julius's ruthless words, Daphne's expression changed instantly. She pushed Julius' hands away, and her pitiful appearance instantly turned into a cold one.
She released Julius's foot and stood up.
Daphne stood still, her face showing joy and sadness; she moved her lips but said nothing. At last he became respectful and cried:
"master!……"
Julius shuddered when he heard Daphne's words, and said something speechless.
"Don't give me that. It's useless. Forget it."
After saying that, Julius quickened his pace slightly and prepared to leave the room.
Seeing that Julius was not moved by her persuasion, Daphne had no choice but to return to normal immediately, and quickly grabbed Julius' hand and said.
"I said, I said, but I have a small request."
Julius paused, turned to look at Daphne, and said.
"What are your requests? Tell me first."
"Ahem, you can't say that I leaked it."
Daphne glanced around the room, leaned close to Julius' ear, and whispered.
"can."
Julius agreed to Daphne's request.
And after Julius agreed, Daphne finally chose to tell her their secret.
"Miss, I'm sorry to bother you for a few minutes. I would like to introduce you to our Lord, our Heavenly Father, the Lord of Wisdom and Change."
Julius took a copy of the Lord of Wisdom and Change from the smiling priest in front of him, which also promoted Roland, but it only promoted Roland's wisdom.
"Miss, would you like to know more about the Lord of Life and Plenty?"
"Miss, please stay. Please allow me to introduce you to the great Lord and Father, the Lord of Inspiration and Pleasure."
Outside the church area, Julius looked at the four flyers in his hand, looked expressionlessly at Daphne who was a little embarrassed, and said.
"The Lord of War and Glory, the Lord of Wisdom and Change, the Lord of Life and Fertility, the Lord of Inspiration and Joy, is this the Four Saints and One Church you mentioned?"
"Cough cough."
Daphne coughed twice and said.
"It's just a small group that sticks together. It's not a church. We didn't illegally form a church. Don't talk nonsense."
"Now that I have the evidence, I will leave now if it's alright."
Daphne said awkwardly, then took small steps and tried to run away. However, when she was about to run away, Julius grabbed her back.
Although Daphne is a knight, a second-level knight cannot resist a fourth-level spellcaster.
Julius gathered the four flyers and said as he dragged Daphne along.
"Come on, follow me to the administration department."
"No!!!"
Daphne screamed.
Outside the church area, the citizens of Apocalypse on the street also watched the fight between Julius and Daphne with a smile on their faces.
After several years of rule by the War Council, the people in the Council's heartland have become accustomed to peace and stability.
Less than half an hour later, a famous city defense force came from all directions and quickly surrounded the entire church area. The four saints and one team in the church area did not resist and were quickly wiped out.
"Four Saints and One, is that an illegal belief?"
Roland put down the government affairs in his hands, looked at Hela strangely, and asked.
What religion is the Four Saints? Roland has no idea about it. It's weird. Is this not the version of the Reformation yet?
"Yes."
Hela nodded and continued speaking while forwarding the information to Roland.
"According to Julius' report, the Four Saints seem to be a secret religious group active in the Apocalypse religious area. They are called the Four Saints because they believe in four gods."
"According to the news, the four saints are: the Lord of War and Glory, the Lord of Wisdom and Change, the Lord of Life and Fertility, and the Lord of Inspiration and Joy."
After listening to Hela's words, Roland looked at Hela with surprise in his eyes. Why do these four names of gods sound familiar?
"The four vendors are calling?"
No, that's not right. There is no subspace cesspool or virtual realm in this world. Where did the four vendors come from?
Hela tilted her head and said hesitantly.
"Is there anything wrong with these divine names? According to Julius' information, these divine names seem to refer to you."
"should be no problem."
Roland said somewhat uncertainly.
According to Roland's memory, the Four Hawkers should not exist in this world, but it is hard to say. After all, the setting of the Four Hawkers is too classic. Maybe there is a similar setting in this world.
However, Roland was not very nervous. Looking at the names of these gods, even if there really were four vendors, it was highly unlikely that they were set up in some cesspool.
Hearing Roland's words, Hela's eyes became sharp. She walked to Roland's side and spoke in a low voice.
"Arrest and exile or outright execution?"
"Uh, not really."
Roland smiled, stretched out his right hand, held Hela's hand, and said with a smile.
"It's no use trying to trick me with what I teach."
Hearing Roland's words, Hela curled her lips and lifted the mental spell used to influence and guide Roland.
As a necromancer, Hela, like Julius, is sensitive to emotions and the mind.
Generally speaking, even high-level spellcasters would find it difficult to detect Roland's emotions and mental changes, but the relationship between Hela and Roland was different after all, so Roland would not be on high alert against Hela.
Therefore, when Roland was thinking about the problem of the four vendors, Hela also caught Roland's fluctuation at that moment.
Although she didn't know the situation, Hela didn't want Roland to be at risk.
Considering that Roland had previously rejected all new beliefs related to him, Hela also wondered whether the belief had a negative influence on Roland.
Therefore, even if the Four Saints and their followers were innocent, Hela still wanted to expel or kill them.
Looking at Hela who was unconsciously emitting negative energy, Roland chuckled, patted her hand, and said comfortingly.
"Don't be so nervous, it doesn't affect me. I just feel a little familiar with it."
Hela met Roland's gaze and asked in a low voice.
"Really?"
"Really, how could I lie to you."
Roland reached out his hand, pinched Hela's soft cheek, and said with a smile.
"They are one of us. It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so radical."
Hela lowered her head obediently, rubbed Roland's hand actively, and said.
"I got it."
After comforting Hela, Roland returned to his work. While clicking on the message forwarded by Hela, he was also thinking about how to deal with this team of four saints.
Well, it would be better to just order them to disband.
Roland thought so.
Just when Roland thought he could just let them disband, he clicked on the message forwarded by Hela.
Looking at the information in front of him, Roland fell silent.
Roland completely underestimated the supreme prestige he gained from killing Kan'ozu, defeating the Green Tide, and restoring order. He also did not expect that the construction of a communication network would not only make communication more convenient, but also allow his reputation to spread more widely and deeply.
There is no need to mythify Roland. Simply publicizing what he did is enough to make many people worship Roland.
Under this premise, believers of the Lord of Wisdom and Change carefully studied the Golden Law and found loopholes that could be exploited, that is, to carry out illegal missionary work under the guise of other churches.
Since the committee will not force ordinary believers to convert, they only need to complete their missionary work and then surrender themselves. By repeating this cycle over and over again, they can accumulate a large number of believers.
After discovering the loophole, the believers of the Lord of Wisdom and Change successively brought in three other equally powerful faiths to form a group of four saints and one organization, cooperating with each other and developing together.
The Four Saints refer to the four beliefs that basically cover all aspects, while One refers to the four beliefs that are all based on the belief in Roland.
Because there were loopholes that could be exploited, the Four Holy Ones was the only illegal belief that could effectively grow and develop. Therefore, after it grew stronger, the Four Holy Ones absorbed and annexed all the illegal beliefs related to Roland that were born in various parts of the committee.
After absorbing illegal beliefs from all over the place, the strongholds of the Four Saints quickly covered most of the towns in the committee. Later, relying on the loopholes found by the believers of the Wisdom and Lord of Change, and the fact that the committee was busy with various affairs during this period and had no time to take care of the church area that seemed to have no problems.
Therefore, the Four Saints One took advantage of the situation and began to develop rapidly.
Thus, until now when it was discovered, a large religion was born that covered all parts of the committee and had more followers than all the independent churches in the administration.
Looking at the news, Roland closed his eyes silently.
