Don't call me evil god

Chapter 389 Let the Church Become the Church

The countess, who was originally in great pain and regretful, soon heard from Pete and others a piece of news that made her extremely confused.

"What did you...say?"

Frigga Ceylan confirmed incredulously.

"Although you did make a huge mistake, but - praise Nowen!"

“The Lord has bestowed upon this land a supreme gift.”

"All the victims will be given a chance to return from the underworld. They have already returned to the world."

"The disaster was over as if it had never happened."

The Countess of Ceylon's mind went blank and she even forgot to continue crying.

What did she hear?
It was a disaster that she almost caused herself, but no one was killed.

Because all the dead were pulled up and brought back to life?
Is she listening to some fairy tale?

But the tone of the believers seeking knowledge does not sound fake.

What's more, such things cannot be faked, and you can tell whether they are true or not at a glance.

"What about Sep? My husband, how is he...?"

The Countess clenched her hands subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Pete fell silent.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

"Sep Skov has been gone from this world for too long. His soul may have entered the next reincarnation in the underworld."

"There is definitely no way he can come back to who he once was."

The Countess of Ceylon was silent for a while.

The tightly clenched hands gradually loosened, and the eyes dimmed.

She tried to use the magic of illusion to create a happy world with a husband and daughter.

But after all the hard work, things are back to the way they were 16 years ago.

The husband will never come back.

The daughter also disappeared in front of him.

She was still left alone, with nothing.

"but……"

Pete changed the subject.

The countess's eyes suddenly lit up.

"But what?"

"Although your husband's appearance 16 years ago was a miracle of divine power."

"Miracles... can be repeated."

"The great God of Knowledge has communicated with the Goddess of Illusion. When the time is right, He will perform miracles again."

"For example, your daughter has not disappeared. She has returned to this world just like the other victims."

"Of course, the premise is that you don't go astray again."

"My Lord has given you another chance, I hope you can cherish it."

“The Lord is watching you.”

After hearing these words, the countess seemed to be injected with confidence again.

She is not alone!
Her daughter, and in a sense, Sep Skov's bloodline, still remains in this world!
Even her husband, she would have the chance to see him again!

"Praise Nowen, praise you - the god of knowledge!"

This is a sincere thank you from a mother.

"Sir... No, heroes, please allow me to call you that."

The Countess of Ceylon promised sincerely:
"You stopped me from making a big mistake in time and made me wake up."

"You are the real saviors of this land!"

"Believe me."

"I will give you the rewards and treatment you deserve!"

……

The pent-up feelings were resolved.

The Countess of Ceylon regained her rationality and became the strong woman again.

The first thing she did was to leave the castle and go to the Glowing Church outside the city.

Meet Bishop Henry Tran in person. The plump bishop is in a bad mood.

His face became even uglier when he saw the sober Countess of Ceylon.

Because his original plan was completely disrupted.

If everything goes according to his plan.

After this disaster, the Countess will be completely disgraced, the land will be renamed "Tostin", and a new Earldom lord who will obey her orders will be promoted to the throne.

The Glowing God Cult will have the greatest say and become the de facto ruler of this land.

But now, all his efforts were in vain.

In order to ensure "concealment" and "cleanliness", Bishop Henry Tran did not dare to leave any handle or evidence in the church of the Glorious God.

This is the only good news.

He doesn't have to worry about being exposed and implicated.

Henry Tran is still the great, bright, correct and glorious bishop.

But he originally planned to lead the Crusaders into the castle at the right time and catch the criminals red-handed.

Now that the disaster ended ahead of schedule and the Countess could appear before him, there was no doubt that the "stolen goods" must have failed.

Without the means to prove that she was involved in the Eternal Night disaster, Bishop Henry Tran had lost the evidence to bring her down.

Moreover, the Countess of Ceylon chose this time to come to the Glowing Church.

Henry Tran always had a bad feeling.

……

The bad premonition soon turned into reality.

Because the countess was too lazy to even exchange pleasantries, she said coldly:

"Your Excellency."

"Thank you to the Glowing God Cult for your great contribution in the sudden Eternal Night disaster."

"On behalf of the king and the people of Ceylon, I would like to thank you and the Crusaders for your selfless dedication. I am willing to give you half of the tax revenue from last year as a thank you."

"but……"

Well known.

After saying nice things, what comes after the “but” is the focus of the conversation.

"...Now that the disaster is over, I think we should each do our own job in the days ahead."

"Let the Church render to the Church what is the Church's, and let the King render to the King what is the King's."

"Please continue to spread the Lord's gospel as you did in the past. Thank you for protecting the Kingdom of Reyak from the invasion of monsters and evil gods."

"As for managing the people, running the territory, dealing with heretics and other mundane matters, I will send people to take care of them. Your Excellency the Bishop does not need to worry about them. This is also for your own good."

Bishop Henry Tran's face looked extremely ugly.

Because the countess was "snatching" the power that belonged to him and the Church of Glory.

The meaning of these sentences is translated as:

"From now on, the Glorious God Cult in the Ceylon region will continue to preach the gospel honestly."

"You can develop believers and recruit priests or crusaders."

"But when it comes to daily territory operations, the Glowing God Cult only has advisory rights and no longer has substantive rights."

Strictly speaking.

The Glowing God Cult does not have the power to enforce the law or administer the government.

After all, they are a church organization that believes in God.

However, in the past, not only the Countess of Ceylon, but also the lords and nobles in other regions basically turned a blind eye to the interference of the Church of the Light in their territories, and tacitly agreed without any opposition.

The two sides are standing on the same front.

The Countess's words almost meant that she had clearly stood against the Church of the Glowing God!

She wants to take back this default permission!
For example.

If heretics are discovered in Ceylon in the future.

No matter how much the Cult of Light jumps up and down, no matter how much it preaches the dangers of heresy to the people.

As long as the Countess does not decide to expel them, they can still operate openly in Ceylon!

Bishop Henry Tran's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.

He threatened sinisterly:
"My Lady Countess, are you... sure you are ready to accept the consequences of this decision?"
