The fact that the Council of the Church is now using leyline anomalies to conceal their harvesting activities using Void Terminals is the best proof of this.
In the vast city of Sumeru, not a single person suspected anything or noticed the problem.
"It is easy to overthrow the Church, and it is not difficult to drive away the fools, but it is difficult to gain the trust of the Sumerians."
"Therefore, we need to use this method, a simple and approachable approach, to guide the Sumeru people to discover the truth themselves. Only in this way will they believe, and only in this way will they have any doubts about the Order of the Church."
“However, even so, Hazard only needs to say that it was their oversight, and that can be rectified. This may seem to make people believe the truth, but it will not generate any doubt about the Council of the Church.”
Al-Hysen easily found the loophole in Jiang Ming's words.
"On the one hand, there are preconceived notions. People verify and draw conclusions from the information they hear, and they will also subconsciously believe the rest of the information, such as the conspiracy of the Church of Christ. The Church of Christ's explanations will be much weaker. Since the Church of Christ does not occupy the high ground of public opinion, it belongs to us."
"On the other hand, the Church's reactionary act of stubbornly resisting to the end has only confirmed his own conspiracy. Look, even the high-ranking Disciplinary Officer, Seno, has been labeled a defector. As for the others who noticed something amiss, guess where they are now?"
"There are quite a few of these people, especially since the Church of the Fathers' high-profile actions have been witnessed by many. So, what will those who witnessed all of this, know about the Church of the Fathers' conspiracy, and also know the truth about their arrests think? Will they still trust them?"
"Sigh~"
The three of them instinctively gasped.
It's truly a series of interconnected steps.
The Church's conspiracy was unjustified and could not be brought to the table, leaving them in a passive position at every turn. They couldn't do anything, nor could they do anything.
In fact, the more action they take, the faster they hasten their own demise.
The three of them are now certain that the Order of the Fathers is doomed.
With the addition of Little Lucky Grass King, Desert, Rice Wife, the vast populace of Sumeru City, and the three of them, the Order of the Church can be said to be an enemy of the entire world.
It's hard enough to just stay alive.
It's just a matter of time.
According to Jiang Ming, the operation has only just begun.
"So, now that everything has been arranged, what do we need to do?"
Tinaari raised his own question.
Their coming together must have been secretly arranged by Inatsume.
"Letting the masses of Sumeru City know the truth and organizing the forces of Sumeru Rainforest to oppose the Order of the Church is also part of the plan, and you are just right for it."
Elheisen, the scribe of the Order of the Church, holds a position second only to the Six Sages. He has the power to mobilize some resources and can provide cover for them within the Order of the Church.
Tinari, a scholar of the biophilosophy, is a scientific genius and is well-known and influential among scholars. In particular, he also commands a formidable armed force: the forest rangers.
Seno, the former Grand Disciplinary Officer of the Order, is well-versed in the Order's rules of conduct and has accumulated a network of connections over the years, especially in the rainforest and desert.
The combined influence of these three on the Order of the Fathers is considerable.
This can significantly increase the speed of their actions, while hindering the actions of the Church and holding it back.
Most importantly, these individuals possess the ability and drive to act, and they also have the resolve to uphold the most basic principles and bottom lines. They will certainly not allow the Order to continue its reckless behavior.
Chapter 264 A New Beginning
While the group from Huacheng Guo were secretly taking action, on a beach in Mondstadt, Ying, a traveler from outside the world who had been forced to wander for a long time due to her sealed power and unfamiliarity with the place, caught a strange creature while fishing for her lunch.
"Huh? Can we eat this?"
Having been hungry for half a day, Ying stared at the strange creature in front of her and fell into deep thought.
Perhaps... it could be eaten as emergency food?
"Hmm...wait? Paimon isn't food, you can't eat Paimon, don't eat Paimon!"
The strange creature, which had been fished out of the water, was so frightened that it instantly flew into the air, waving its hands repeatedly while keeping its distance from Ying.
"Ah, are there any wise ones?"
Ying sighed with a regretful expression.
Although its shape is very strange, there is no doubt that this strange creature is no different from a human and is definitely not edible.
She's not some weird cannibal.
"Are you called Paimon?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Paimon was terrified that this person might get angry and eat her, so she nodded frantically and wholeheartedly.
"Oh."
Ying responded calmly, then ignored Paimon and focused on the fishing rod in front of her.
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, and if this continues... I'm afraid I'll be eating tree bark tomorrow!
What a pity, what a pity! I finally caught something, but it turned out to be not a fish, so I can't eat it.
unlucky!
Seeing that Luminous no longer seemed to intend to eat him, Paimon grew bolder and began to fly forward to talk to her.
However, Ying's last memory before waking up was being attacked by the mysterious gods of this world. That was many years ago. Her brother, Kong, was kidnapped, and she herself fell into a coma for many years, during which time her power was sealed.
If nothing unexpected happens, we should still be in the world of Teyvat.
She wondered how the unfamiliar deity was doing. Ying remained wary of everything in Teyvat and ignored Paimon's attempts to engage her in conversation, focusing solely on fishing.
However, Ying clearly underestimated Paimon's "mouth of God" power. Paimon's questions came one after another, without stopping for more than twenty minutes, and kept flying around her head. Various sounds looped in 3D, causing Ying to have a # on her forehead.
Finally, just as Ying was about to lose her temper and was thinking that she should be roasted, Paimon couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hey, how can you be so rude! I'm talking to you!"
Paimon clenched his fists and waved them, stomping his little feet angrily in the air.
Seeing Paimon break down, Ying actually swept away the pent-up frustration she had been feeling.
Strangely enough, it really makes me feel good.
"If I can't catch any more fish, I'll go hungry again, and then I'll roast you first!"
Ying pretended to be fierce and threatened him.
"Eh~"
Paimon hesitated for a while, then didn't say anything more.
Before long, a delicious sea bass took the bait, and Ying decisively started a fire and grilled the fish.
Paimon stared intently at Ying as she devoured her food, his drool dripping onto the ground before he even realized it.
"Suck~"
The sound of Paimon sucking his saliva made Ying feel helpless, but at the same time she relaxed her vigilance towards Paimon.
[It seems unlikely that this was someone sent by that mysterious god. How could anyone send someone so stupid!]
Seeing Paimon's eager look, Ying hesitated for a moment, but still gave away a small piece of fish.
"Wow, thank you, thank you!"
Paimon flew up in the blink of an eye, took the fish from Ying's hand, and started eating it. His speed was so fast that Ying subconsciously took two steps back.
"Mmm, delicious, delicious! It's delicious even without any seasoning, this..."
Paimon's words of praise caught in his throat.
It's been so long, and I've even eaten their fish, but I don't even know their name.
It seems she was the one who was rude...
"My name is Ying. I am a traveler who has been to many places. I am currently staying here for the time being."
Ying chose to reveal only part of the information for the time being.
"Oh, then I'll call you Traveler. Let's get to know each other formally. I'm Paimon, the best guide on the continent of Teyvat!"
"Guide?"
She'd been wandering around here, completely lost, for days. She had no idea where she was, where she should go, or even where she could see the road. She couldn't fly anymore either. Now that Paimon was her guide... wouldn't she be able to leave this place and end her life of wandering?
Ying's eyes lit up instantly.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Since you're the best guide, why don't you introduce this place we're in now?"
Ying's expectant and adoring gaze fixed on Paimon quickly made Paimon lose himself.
"Hmph, you don't know this, do you? This is Mondstadt, the land of wind and freedom among the seven kingdoms of Teyvat... oh no, the eight kingdoms!"
Paimon, who was flattered and confused, quickly explained Teyvat's current situation and their position clearly.
Ying also gained a basic understanding of the current situation in Teyvat.
Although it is said to be eight countries, it should actually be seven, corresponding to the seven elements and seven gods. The two countries of Sumeru are still in dispute and are developing towards unification amidst the smell of gunpowder.
"So, where do you plan to go next?"
After Paimon finished explaining what he knew, he began to inquire about Ying's intentions.
Ying hesitated once again and chose to remain silent.
Although their relationship made a breakthrough from zero to one after sharing a piece of fish, wasn't it a bit... a bit too much to reveal everything right away?
Ying's sudden silence left Paimon completely baffled.
Did I say something I shouldn't have, and upset her?
Paimon, realizing he might have done something wrong, stopped making a scene and quietly followed Ying.
For the next few days, Paimon followed Ying around, whether she was fishing, hunting, or gathering wild fruit.
“I say, traveler, we can’t just keep wandering around here forever. I think whatever you want to do, shouldn’t we go to Mondstadt to rest first?”
Paimon's words made Ying hesitate.
