Storm of Gods

Chapter 3: The First Bishop

After learning some information from Qi Badao, Luo Jin went back. He had no intention of getting involved in the gang's affairs. Suddenly, this incident happened and the clues of the Licker were cut off. He had to consider the matter carefully. It was not easy to get involved in the cult.

Luo Jin also learned about Li Xin's situation from Qi Badao. Of course, he could only listen to what the other party said. The night patrol team would deal with the aftermath and then further investigate Li Xin. An awakened person with such combat power and so young must be paid attention to. If the investigation shows that he does not have a deep involvement with the gang, he can be trained.

Just as I returned to the Night Watch headquarters, a young woman with short hair, a knee-length skirt, and white aristocratic stockings came over. "Captain, the Chief Bishop has summoned me. If you don't have anything urgent to do, please go over first."

Luo Jin waved his hands helplessly, "My Lord Chief Bishop, you're treating me like an iron man. Casey, I want a raise."

Cathy smiled gently, her charm more evident than ever before. She wasn't even married yet, yet she had a charming face and figure. Of course, it might also be because of her uniform. "You've got a raise, but you don't know where to spend it. It's a good idea to drink less."

Ok?
Luo Jin did not delay and went to the church immediately. It should be about the Licker. He came to the spacious and bright cathedral. Tianjin is the territory of the Moon Goddess Church. The Moon Goddess Church is undoubtedly the largest, with a gorgeous architectural style. Ancient churches are all rich enough to rival a country. The chief bishop is praying.

The chief bishop is the chief bishop, half a level higher than the ordinary bishop. Their night watchmen are "Diana", the moon goddess who holds the power of the night and is at the level of the main god. Due to historical reasons, the night watchmen in various places are organized under the municipal government, but are generally under the direct jurisdiction of the church.

"My Lord Chief Bishop, the Licker is dead. Something unexpected happened and we had to clean him up. The clues are gone." Luo Jin said.

The black-robed bishop didn't turn around. "Don't be sad. The battle against the Abyss is a long one. Since you initiated the provocation, there will definitely be consequences. However, you should pay attention to handing over the work of the Ordinary Court. Be prepared in advance, otherwise you will be caught unawares and lose face."

"Is the situation in the House of Religion very bad?" Luo Jin said in a deep voice.

Bishop Matthew looked to be in his seventies, with gray hair but black eyebrows, a ruddy complexion, and an energetic look. His aura was gentle yet majestic. He was the chief bishop of Tianjin, which was the territory of the Moon Goddess Church. The power of other churches was relatively weaker.

"The Vatican feels its faith is weakening, which means the situation within the Decree House will only worsen. The Archbishop is extremely dissatisfied, believing that Tianjing is simply relying on its past successes and has lost sight of the original purpose for which Archon Luther established the Decree House."

"We are not the only one in this situation." Luo Jin said. He himself was from the Governing Council. Due to his personality, he ended up becoming a night watchman after graduation. More than ten years have passed, and he never expected that there would be a day when he would return to the Governing Council.

"We can't control others. Tianjin is an important pillar of our Moon Goddess Church and also a signboard for taking root in Lilong. You are going there this time to change this situation. Remember to solve the problem instead of intensifying the conflict." Matthew said that when it comes to the nobles, you can't force it.

Luo Jin was a bit confused. He knew the water was deep, but he couldn't force it. The nagging and hermaphroditic struggle was the most annoying. "Can you change someone?"

The chief bishop glared and asked, "How about I go for you?"

Luo Jin thought this was a good idea, but it was only a thought, and he left with a sullen look. This time, he would be able to enter the Ecclesiastical Court as a Grand Disciplinary Officer, and also join its committee, which would give him considerable influence. However, the committee consisted of seven members, a stark difference from his single-handed decision-making role as Night Watchman. The Ecclesiastical Court was the work of Archon Luther, and it remains a popular topic today. Simply put, it used the faith of the Lilong Kingdom as bait to persuade major churches to willingly pay for its sermons. The sermons were genuine, and the strengthening of Lilong's national strength was also genuine. It cultivated many talented individuals, leading to the prosperity of the Lilong United Kingdom today. During Archon Luther's reign, the prevalence of hextech gave rise to many powerful new classes. He believed that God loves the world and that all are equal. He used the checks and balances between the church and the old nobility to vigorously promote new classes and provide opportunities and benefits to the common people.

But after the death of the Grand Archon, some things changed.

The game between royal power and divine power will never stop. Compared to getting involved in this muddy water, Luo Jin would rather fight the monster with real swords and guns.

But orders are orders. Just like the chief bishop said, the Apostolic Court is not a night patrol. If it engages in fighting and killing at every turn, it will easily fall into a passive position and even drag the church into trouble. But if a ruthless person is not sent, it will be impossible to keep the situation under control.

Even though Luo Jin was a veteran, he still felt a bit overwhelmed when faced with such a problem. Whenever he was in doubt, he would solve the problem with a cup.

If one cup doesn’t solve the problem, have a few more.

When the night watchman is not on duty, he either spends time with women or drinks to relieve the pressure of death and mysterious events. Basically, Luo Jin feels that he is lucky to be alive until now. He is a smoker and a drinker. No one in the tavern dares to mess with him. They all know the habits of this big shot of the night watchman. He drinks alone. Even if someone is blind, he will soon regain his sight.

Either don't do it, or think carefully about it if you do it. The Grand Disciplinary Officer has considerable power in the Ministry of Education, but it is a job that offends people. The previous Disciplinary Officers have all passed away, otherwise it would not be his turn. If he handles it well, he, who does the dirty and tiring work, may really be able to get ashore.

Luo Jin drank another glass. If he was the young and naive man back then, he would have probably rushed into the fire in his blood. But no matter how naive he was, he had grown sensible after more than ten years of experience. It would be better to wait and see. He should either not take any action or find an opportunity to make a decisive move.

On the other side of the dungeon, Qi Badao limped back to his lair, using a relatively straight stick as support. It took him a long time to get back to his base. Looking at the base he had carefully protected in a mess, and the miserable little brothers who looked like their boss had died, he couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in his heart. Being a boss meant he had to suffer like this, it was really...

Bah, bah, just be alive.

After adjusting his mentality and wiping his face with the blood from his leg, Qi Badao resumed his proud and tough boss mode. Even his lame leg showed his acting skills. When the younger brothers saw the boss coming back, they quickly surrounded him.

Qi Badao sat down with his arms folded and began to brag about how he had killed the monster. He wanted to use the method of spiritual victory to encourage his brothers. The team could not be disbanded. Soon, the brothers became excited when they learned how the monster was killed by their boss cleverly. It only took a moment to restore the morale. Not only that, the cohesion seemed to be even stronger. There was more admiration in their eyes when they looked at Qi Badao, which made Qi Badao a little proud.

...This group of younger brothers probably won’t think of becoming the big brother.
