Chapter 233 God, Is This Your Test For Me?
With the new king ascending the throne, everything in the kingdom ushered in a change.

It has been five full years since the new king came to the throne. The king from a remote city-state has a strong enthusiasm for Cargaus. He must go to the Great Temple every day, rain or shine, or ask himself what he doesn’t understand. or, under the leadership of priests, to offer precious sacrifices to the statue of Cargauth.

Naturally, the new king, Anukt, focused on the belief in the New Law Garden in the city of Aga.

Those who believe in the Lord also call themselves believers in the truth. This title originated from the words of the prophet Yar thousands of years ago: "God is the unity of laws, and God is truth."

And because the New Law Garden is also commonly known as the church, it is occasionally called the Church of Truth, and these believers are also commonly known as true believers.

With the persistent missionary work of the missionaries of the New Law Garden, their footprints spread all over the Aga Kingdom, and even went to the land where the orcs lived, so that the orc chiefs, big and small, tried to believe in the god on the mountain.

In the city-state where Anukt lived before, he also met these true believers several times, listened to the scriptures they preached, knew those sentences well, and sneered at them.

In his eyes, every three-eyed ape must believe in Kagaus, because the God of Prophecy is their creator, and no one except Kagaus can bear the title of Creator.

In the past, as an offshoot of the royal family, Anukt could only watch these missionaries preaching again and again, converting and praying for those stone slaves who were slaves, setting off a plague that abandoned Cargaus, and even Affected nobles of pure blood.

The fanatical Anukt hated the stone slaves' betrayal of Cargaus, and even more hated those missionaries.

Today is different from the past, Anukt has become the king of this country.

He has enough power and enough will to defend everything that belongs to Cargaus.

.......................................

Xi Lan stood in the New Law Garden and took a deep breath.

Daniel stood beside him with an anxious expression on his face.

Xi Lan held a letter in his hand, and he clutched it tightly, sweat staining the papyrus covered with handwriting.

"What should we do? Teacher!"

Daniel asked excitedly.

Xi Lan lowered her head, looked at the letter in her hand, and then shook her head slowly.

In this letter, Casas told him that the new king Anukt had mentioned the New Law Garden and those believers in the true religion several times in front of the ministers and nobles.

Anuckt, who is gradually gaining power, seems to want to take action against the true believers.

In the letter, Casas also recounted the rumors that Anuckt talked about the New Law Garden with his favorites in private, and he would always show his respect for Cargaus and his contempt for the true believers. , in his mouth, the slave-based true believers are the source of filth, and the New Law Garden is a place where filth is hidden.

Xi Lan was shocked when he read the letter. He knew that the current situation was becoming unfavorable, but he never thought that the new king would have such a big prejudice.

"This His Majesty the king turned his back on the guest in a short period of time, and overwhelmed the ministers who supported him. He is conceited, selfish, cruel and extremely clever. Once he sets his sights on something, he will not stop until he achieves his goal."

Daniel whispered that he heard these from the mouths of other nobles.

With the development of the New Law Garden, nearly one-twelfth of the nobles in this royal city have converted to the Lord on the top of the mountain. They recite the same scriptures as the stone slaves, expecting be delivered in his name.

Some of them are devout, some are skeptical, some are fanatical, some are indifferent, but these nobles are undoubtedly the proof of the gradual development of the true religion, and even become the second largest belief in the kingdom.

"I know Daniel, I've been thinking about that a lot lately."

Xi Lan sighed and put away the letter in her hand.

The new king is now in power, just like another Queen Isis, and in time, his rule may be more stable than Queen Isis.

What worried Sealand the most was that, according to various rumors, Anukt was a fanatical king who was extremely obsessed with his beliefs and power. He claimed to have the broad mind of a king, but in fact, he It was difficult to tolerate any dissent or resistance, and skillfully suppressed ministers who were at odds with him.

"Warning those preachers, don't continue to preach in the royal city, and don't preach in the neighboring city-states."

King Aga City is the foundation of the church. Even if it no longer preaches like before, there will be a steady stream of three-eyed apes attracted by the church.

At the same time, the king's city is also the king's land, and he still preaches as before, which will definitely irritate Anukt.

This new king is not Queen Isis. The latter sticks to the oath she made to the Prophet Norn and has always been tolerant of the church. As for the former... Xi Lan can't see that he has any kindness towards the church. The new king also seems to have taken great doubts about the prophet's story.

Xi Lan paused, then thought of something, and continued:
"I'm going to find Antinon of the Great Temple."

A few years ago, the hermit left the land of Aga, returned to the lonely island, and left behind his disciple Antinon.

And because of the hermit's influence, Antinon's status in the Great Temple is getting higher and higher, second only to the High Priest of the Kingdom.

Daniel nodded heavily, he and Sealand's thoughts coincided with each other.

The hermit Naya and his disciples are undoubtedly the people in the entire kingdom who know Kargaus best.

The friendship between New Law Garden and these two people has always been considered good, and they have mutual contacts.

Since Anukt believed in Cargauth so devoutly, as long as Sealand got Antinon's persuasion, perhaps the new king's hostility towards the church would weaken accordingly.

During this period of time, the church has tried its best to keep the believers low-key. This is the wind-catching ability that has been cultivated since the era of Queen Isis's rule.

Xi Lan took a deep breath, and he faced the three sacred classics not far away.

He walked forward, gently stroked the lettering on it one by one, and his eyes stayed on the "Book of Two Kings".

"God...is this your test for me?"

Xi Lan murmured to herself, and then her eyes were determined,

"Believe me…

I am a disciple of the Prophet. "

So many years have passed, although on the surface, Xi Lan is still not sure whether he has really been given a mission.

But deep down in his heart, with the growth of the church, after the glory, Xilan gradually developed a sense of mission, which became stronger and heavier.

Zeeland also occasionally compares himself to Tertullian or Alesto.

Since the successors of the Prophet Yar have been given a mission.

Then, as the successor of the Prophet Norn...

Thinking of this, Xi Lan recited in a low voice:

"Lord, may all peoples recite your name, may the glory be to you, and praise you as the king of kings and the god of gods."
