“Brothers and sisters, let’s pray together.

Fire ignites us and protects us from evil.

The pure and supreme flame heals our hearts.

…………

Fire gives warmth and guides the direction of our lives.

Eternal fire, we pray to you.

Eternal fire, we place our faith in you.

Eternal Fire, there is no other god in our eyes..."

At the entrance of the village in the countryside of Sintra, a priest wearing a red coat, surrounded by people, stood next to the burning brazier at the entrance of the village. He pressed the brazier with his left hand, tilted his right hand upward, and spoke in a long and high-spirited tone. He led the surrounding believers to chant prayers loudly.

At the same time, a convoy of knights escorted passed by the road next to the village entrance and headed south without causing any commotion. Everyone was immersed in prayer.

Rey sat in the carriage carriage, opened the curtains and looked at the lively scene. He was very interested in hearing these false and empty clichés.

After all, this prayer is very compatible with his attributes [Red Dragon] [Fire Element] [Son of the Sun], and it is also very consistent with Rey's secret plan.Rey couldn't help having a great appetite for this.

However, regarding the religions of this world, Rey probably only knew about the Sun Cult, and did not know much about other churches. He did not recognize which church it was for the time being.

So, Rey turned to Freya and Ms. Reina sitting in the corner and asked curiously: "Freya, Ms. Reina, do you know which church this is preaching? It looks pretty good. interesting……"

"Your Highness Rey, this is the Church of Eternal Fire (Eternal Fire), which was founded hundreds of years ago in the free city of Novigrad. Its main symbol is the eternal flame that symbolizes hope. Over the years, believers in this church have More and more, it is the mainstream religion active in the northern kingdom today, and they have a strong influence in the northern countries."

"Believers of the eternal fire believe that the eternal flame is a symbol of survival that can guide them through darkness, towards progress, and to usher in a better tomorrow. In the temple of the church, the blazing flame will never go out."

"Hmm~! It sounds very good! It's almost the same as our Sun Cult~ Sigh... If I hadn't been in a hurry to go home and listened to your introduction, I would have wanted to go to Novigrad to see this church..."

After hearing this, Lei Yi couldn't help but nodded, stroking his fingers, with a satisfied smile on his face. He was even more interested in this church.

After all, as a person who is the emperor of a vast multi-ethnic empire, he can see at a glance that this church has a great overlap with Nilfgaard's Sun Cult - the sun and fire are light, heat, and purification , a powerful symbolic aggregation, and both churches had an important influence on the regime.

If he can merge the two churches into one, it will not only enhance his dominance over the world and the stability of his political power, but it will also provide a great boost to his own strength and future development.

"Cough cough cough... Your Highness Rey..."

When Freya heard Rey's answer, she couldn't help but cough a few times. After all, the Eternal Flame was not as glamorous as her introduction. She didn't want His Highness Rey to make the wrong choice because of her misleading. So she quickly added:

"Your Highness Rey, as far as I know, although the doctrines preached by these pastors are constantly mixed with the words 'flame light' and 'driving out darkness', the way they preach is not that bright and kind. In the face of those "stubborn people" "Restless" guys, they will try their best to adopt the most radical measures and means."

"For heretics who dare to desecrate the eternal fire or refuse to believe, if they are caught by their knights, according to these shameless priests, 'Anyone who desecrates the eternal fire will have his property confiscated.'"

"And those armed believers will beat the pagans half to death. After all, they defend their beliefs not only by praying to the flames in the altar, but also by wearing armor and picking up weapons. That's all I know, not very much All in all, Your Highness Rey, you must make a careful decision..."

Rey nodded slightly when he heard the words and was noncommittal. In fact, the reputation of the Eternal Fire did not have much impact on Rey. After all, he only valued the vast foundation of the Eternal Fire Church in the Northern Kingdom and what this church enshrined. the concept of.

But, everything has a cause and an effect. Rey still needs to pretend to have a reason to provide a reason for his little actions in the future. It doesn't matter whether it is outrageous or not, as long as it is there.

So, Rey tapped the window edge with the fingers of her right hand, turned her head and looked at the silent Ms. Lena, smiling lightly and said, "Ms. Lena, you have lived in Sintra for so long and have an extraordinary status. I think you must be interested in the eternal fire." If you have a more detailed understanding, please tell me..."

Ms. Reina looked at Rey's sincere expression and couldn't help but think of the time not long ago when Rey frantically rubbed salt into his wounds and stabbed her heart. Her chest kept rising and falling, and the anger in her heart still couldn't be calmed down. She really wanted to beat her to death. The smiling devil in front of me.

But the cold silver bracelet on her hand told Ms. Reina her identity as a prisoner. After being a prisoner for so long, she had long understood that Rey, the devil, didn't care about her identity at all. Learn to keep your head down, or Rey won't mind letting her be a real prisoner.

"For Ciri! For Cintra! I will bear it! Just like the little bastard said to endure for a moment of calm, take a step back to the sea and the sky! I will bear it!..."

Ms. Leina clasped her hands tightly, calmed down, looked at Rey, a seemingly harmless little devil, and said in a cold voice:

"Freya is right. The Eternal Fire has deteriorated a long time ago. It looks glamorous and tall on the outside, but in fact it is unimaginably dark and dirty on the inside..."

"The early Church of Eternal Fire was originally tolerant of other faiths, but then became more and more extreme. It was supposed to drive away the flames of darkness, but now it lit the stake. The eternal fire that originally symbolized hope has now become a symbol of terror and oppression. .”

"The current style of the Church of Eternal Fire is very radical. They have an unfriendly attitude towards all "non-human races". They hate non-human races and expel wild beasts. Even demon hunters are on their hate list. "

Then Ms. Reina seemed to think of something bad, her face turned ugly, and she frowned and said:

"The Church of Eternal Fire has its own armed forces. When necessary, they will wield their swords to eliminate the evil forces in the eyes of the church. Among the followers and sponsors of the church, many are the lower class people in the city, often in the city. The poorer the region, the brighter the flames rising from the Altar of Eternal Fire."

"For those people at the bottom, once the heat of the eternal fire ignites their hearts, they will think that the flame will give them power, allowing them to be guided by it throughout their lives and move towards the path of truth. But among the followers of the flame Among them, there are also some nobles with ulterior motives who use the power of the church to eliminate commercial competitors or dissidents in the court."

"The Archbishop of Eternal Fire also tries his best to communicate with nobles from various countries, and even talks to me...the king through diplomats. Therefore, many opponents of Eternal Fire say privately that the current church seeks far more political power. It cares about the spiritual life of believers. Therefore, the influence of eternal fire is also the greatest among all the religions of the Northern Kingdom..."

"Hmm~! The human world is filthy again..."

Rey smiled when he heard the words, and said lightly the words that made them feel scared, and the whole car fell into immersion again. ...

In October 1264, Nilfgaard, the city of the golden tower, the residence of the prince of Fulis.

Rey's mother Arya and brother Morvan stood in the vestibule waiting anxiously, looking at the entrance hall from time to time.

"Morfan, when do you think Rey will arrive? Why hasn't he come back yet?...Did something happen..."

"Mom, don't worry! My brother will be back soon. Didn't Rey send a guard back to report that he would be back in the afternoon? Don't worry..."

"Sigh... It's all these damn guards who are careless. Otherwise, why would Rey have been delayed in the north for so long, and almost got involved in the war and never come back... If they had been more careful, Rey should have been with us last year. Spend the New Year together instead of...instead of suffering in the middle of nowhere..."

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Morvan didn't know how to answer. After all, the truth was that according to his brother Rey's naughty and noble status, how could those guards influence Rey's decision or even forcefully bring Rey back? !Now, these guards were able to bring Rey back with all his beard and tail. After all, they had suffered a lot and had done their best.

But who called Arya his mother? Morvan could only agree with her statement.

Thinking of Rey sleeping out in the open air, not being able to eat or sleep well, the pampered boy he had never suffered like this before, Aria's heart felt like a knife cutting her, and tears couldn't help flowing out of her eyes. She wiped her eyes. Yes, he said with some choking:
"And Freya is a loser! I don't know how to bring Rey back early... My Rey, he is still so young, he has been suffering outside for a year, and I don't know what will happen to him... In the future Rey can no longer travel far alone casually..."

"Hmm~! Yes..."

Morvan watched his mother cry and couldn't help but feel sad for Rey's suffering, and echoed his mother.

But in fact, during the days when Ray left, although Morfan seldom cared about Ray, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the pressure brought by his brother Ray recently was too great. After Ray left, Morfan Fan also has a chance to breathe, so he can improve himself and impress Rey when he comes back.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.After Rey left, Morvan began to exercise crazily on himself, riding horses, archery, communication, writing, etc., and put in a lot of effort.

I wanted to show off my brother's superiority after Rey came back, but Rey delayed his return home due to the outbreak of the war. This made Morvan feel lost for a long time. It was like an actor who had been practicing hard for ten years and finally appeared on stage. Before, it was suddenly announced that the performance had been postponed and cancelled. I felt more than depressed...

At this time, under the protection of guards, a carriage slowly stopped at the door of this luxurious mansion. A pair of white jade hands opened the door, and a handsome blond boy appeared on the stage, thinking about his mother Aria and running away.

"Mother!"

"Ray!"

Aria, with tears in her eyes, picked up Rey, who was rushing towards him, and lifted him into the air and spun him around.Then he knelt down, held Rey tightly in his arms, and examined him carefully.

"Rey, my Rey, God bless you, you are finally back safely...you have suffered so much, let me see if you have lost weight..."

Aria pressed her forehead against Rey's and murmured in a low voice. Then she rubbed Rey's little face and began to examine it carefully from head to toe.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't cry... I'm fine outside... I don't suffer at all. They take good care of me... Look, I've grown taller..."

Rey patted herself to confirm to her mother that she was not suffering outside, and turned her head to make a face at Morvan.

Morfan on the side looked dumbfounded at his younger brother Rey who was making faces at him. Looking at Rey's current appearance, he felt that Rey's life outside was not just good, but simply very good. After taking the potion, he was almost the same size. After catching up with him, his originally relaxed heart couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

Rey turned around on the ground, showing off the huge changes in his appearance over the past year, and said to Aria, "Mother, let's talk about it when we go home. Then I will tell you about my wonderful experience... I also I brought gifts for you and my father and brother..."

"Okay, okay... let's talk about it when we go back. My Rey has grown up and he has remembered to buy gifts for his family..."

Back home, Rey sat down next to Aria. Rey was telling his mother vividly about his wonderful experience: "In the northern wilderness of Les Lane, we met piles of fireflies at night. It’s so beautiful that it’s twinkling…”

"Well, what else..."

"Also, we met a lot of water ghosts. They were ugly and heart-wrenching. Brother Morvan would be shocked if you saw them..."

"Hmph! I won't, I will kill it. I don't know if you peed your pants at that time..."

"But these water ghosts were too weak. I burned them in one breath... and I also saw our Nilfgaardian army attacking the city of Cintra. It was spectacular..."

"What!" X2
When Morvan heard this, he was instantly stunned. The victory of Cintra was a glorious deed widely spread in the city of golden towers. Everyone involved was proud of it. He didn't expect that his younger brother would actually witness it with his own eyes. He couldn't help but feel sad. He was envious and wished he was there.

Aria, on the other hand, was shocked and regretful that Rey was in such danger. She stood up, glared at Freya and said sternly: "Freya! You are..."

"Mother, don't blame them. I went there out of curiosity... Moreover, I rescued an old lady after the war. However, she was unwilling to leave even after being rescued. She followed me around. I thought she was pitiful. , I brought her back as a housekeeper, you see, Ms. Reina..."

"Rena? This name looks so familiar... Well, it doesn't seem to be her..."

Arya was startled when she heard this, and glanced at Ms. Reina who was standing aside. After comparing it, she felt relieved. She nodded to the gray-haired Ms. Reina, and continued to listen instead of paying attention. Rey brags about a fantasy trip.

Seeing Rey frighten Morvan into a daze, Arya couldn't help but smile as she stared at her son who had changed so much, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes...
