Don't confiscate my citizenship

Hyperion thanked the Ice Witch.

She also heard the name of the saint from the three gods.

"I heard from the priests that there is a boy named Lanqi who is always inseparable from you. Is he coming to the Northern Continent this time as well?"

The Ice Witch thought for a moment and asked.

She didn't know why the three clergymen always liked to mention the name Lanqi after returning from the Shadow World. Later, after asking them, she found out that the boy was Loren's student and was very friendly and approachable to the clergymen.

Ever since the three clergymen came into contact with Ranci and Hyperion, it seemed as if something fundamental had changed, but the Ice Witch couldn't tell exactly how it had changed.

But it is probably because of Hyperion, after all, she is the daughter of Ifatia.

They in the Northern Continent do not have the recording devices and large-scale reading terminals like the Shadow World Management Association of the Southern Continent, so they cannot see what exactly happens in the Shadow World.

The development paths of magic engineering in the north and south continents are slightly different.

The peaceful and stable Southern Continent mainly focuses on improving the quality of life of residents and using magic engineering to fight natural disasters, serving the training and challenges of the Shadow World. It is a purely human magic engineering, and has a management association for the entire continent to coordinate, and can share and exchange technology and cooperate to a greater extent.

The Northern Continent has been in constant war for many years, and more energy is focused on competing for resources in the real world, mainly used to purely improve strategic capabilities. As for the shadow world, it takes both into account, and is more inclined to the original magic engineering of the demon world, as well as the flourishing of ancient heritage of various races.

After being separated by natural disasters in the sea for decades, the northern and southern continents have gradually diverged.

"He's here too. I lost him at the beginning... but there's a greater chance that he's already in the Protoss Empire."

Hyperion thought that if Lanci was also in the Kingdom of Aethertalan, he should be able to guess that she would look for the Three Gods, so he should also look for the Three Gods and meet up with her.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Lanqi has drifted into the territory of Protos.

"If you meet Lanqi, you can also seek his help. Then I will write to Loren and ask him to reward you on behalf of the church."

The Ice Witch nodded and said.

“…That’s a bit dangerous.”

Hyperion's eyes dodged.

"Your mission is indeed dangerous, but I will do my best to protect your safety."

The Ice Witch admitted, closing her eyes.

"No, I'm afraid he will exceed his quota..."

Hyperion lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, I'll take any responsibility, just let him do it."

The Ice Witch leaned against the sofa without hesitation and waved her hand gently.

The Ice Witch could probably guess what kind of person the student taught by Loren, that honest and loyal man, was.

If you have talent, just use it. The Ice Witch only hopes that someone can help Hyperion.

……

Time flies by.

Two weeks have passed since Lanqi arrived in the city of Lilom in the southwestern province of the Protoss Empire.

In the afternoon in the city of Lilom, ancient stone buildings stand along the road. Their window frames and terraces are covered with flowers and green plants. Whenever the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, accompanied by the sound of the sea, echoing continuously.

Walking through the streets and bridges to the center of the town, the majestic temple stands on the wide garden square, becoming the landmark building of this place.

Its spire reaches up to the sky, glittering with golden trim.

The outer walls of the temple are built with beige marble, which remains as smooth as new after years of polishing. The walls are engraved with delicate reliefs depicting ancient legends and heroic deeds. On both sides of the front door, two tall stone lions appear majestic, as if warning entrants to respect this solemn place.

This temple originally belonged to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, but now almost no residents dare to come here on their own initiative. It now belongs to the Church of Resurrection.

Unusually, there were no silver-robed priests around the temple this afternoon.

The core central hall at the deepest part of the temple.

A huge cross sits in the center of the spacious space, and the rose window refracts the sunlight, creating shimmering colors that illuminate the entire hall.

All the silver-robed priests in the entire city of Lilom gathered in this hall at this moment. Their eyes were focused and fervent, all focused on the pulpit in the front.

A sermon was going on in the temple.

In the rows of chairs, many silver-robed priests were receiving instructions and taking notes seriously.

“The outside world is corrupt, and the so-called ‘plunder’ and ‘cruelness’ are all lies they weave. Only we have the true revelation because we know the truth of love.”

The figure on the pulpit slowly raised his hand and guided the crowd: "They will try to lead you away from the truth, but you must firmly believe that only here can you find your true home."

“Don’t be blinded by the outside world,” he said in a calm and deep voice. “The real power, the real wisdom, the real freedom, are here with us.”

The silver-robed man who was standing on the pulpit and speaking, the light seemed to turn into a golden sacred mist, lingering around him, making his figure blurry and his face even more mysterious that no mortal could see.

Only under the shining light on his body, his emerald green eyes full of divinity and compassion were particularly clear.

Chapter 254: The Lanqi Tribe is Taking Root in the Empire

In the majestic sanctuary, the believers sitting in the church listened quietly to the leader's explanation.

In the glow, the priest whom they respected as the pioneer was dressed in silver robes. He stood at the front of the church slowly and revealed the mystery to the priests. His voice and every word seemed to be the homophony transmitted from heaven, spreading throughout the space like waves, bringing deep comfort to people.

While he was narrating, sometimes he would slightly raise his arm, leading the entire church to cheer loudly; sometimes, he would gently place his index finger to his lips, allowing people to feel with their hearts rather than communicate with words.

From beginning to end, his eyes were so warm. Whenever he looked at the believers, he was giving them the greatest encouragement and support. Even the believers sitting in the last row could feel the love and concern in his eyes.

In less than an hour, the lecture was over.

The leader bowed slightly, as if to express his gratitude to every colleague present.

All believers pay him equal respects.

He slowly left the pulpit and walked down the bulletin board. Every step he took seemed like a ritual music praising the truth. His figure gradually disappeared in the colorful light and shadow, but the surging emotions he left for the priests remained in everyone's heart for a long time, making their eyes burn and they fell into this trance state without their control.

When the pioneer left the temple, the silver-armored priest who was originally in charge of commanding the town hurriedly followed and walked beside him.

"Master Pioneer, we are already working on reclaiming the forest behind the town, expanding the city-state, building public service facilities and tourist facilities, and repairing and widening the roads between neighboring towns."

The Silver Armor priest handed over a report document.

"Very good. It will benefit the present and future generations. The reputation of the Catholic Church will not only be praised in the near future, but perhaps a thousand years later, people will still venerate and commemorate it as a god."

Lanqi took the document and praised it.

He worked as a tutor at Viscount Francis's house during the day, and in the afternoon he would come to the temple to instruct the priests of the Tyrant branch.

Every day is full and real.

In this generally low-level town, with the help of Boss Cat's telekinetic magic, he could easily come to the temple without being discovered by anyone. There were not many residents around the temple.

"For this great goal, we will fight until death."

The silver-armored priest bowed devoutly.

Although the townspeople did not trust them at all, at least in terms of attitude, they had noticed a clear change in the townspeople.

The disgust and fear that he tried hard to conceal gradually turned into vigilance mixed with a hint of curiosity.

"Until death."

Lanqi also performed the same salute to him.

They value equality and work together for the same goals and beliefs.

In the city of Lilom, the fishing and aquaculture industries are already very mature, but most of the specialty fish species are only produced and sold by the local population, and the cost of transporting them to other places is too high.

Fortunately, the town itself has beautiful and unique scenery, and can produce semi-natural hot springs. The mountains and forests behind it can also be developed into a pure natural park, so it can be developed into a large tourist city.

After Priest Silver Armor showed Viscount Francis the reconstruction design drawings planned by Lanqi himself, Viscount Francis was amazed and could not refuse, so he could only authorize Priest Silver Armor and his team to start work.

Now many residents in the north are planning to migrate to the south. According to the report of the Southwestern Province in the fourth quarter of last year, the population is indeed on the rise. Therefore, the city of Lilom is expected to not only attract tourists, but may even gain a large number of new residents.

After the initial completion, they will proceed to the most critical step, using the channels of the Tyrant branch in the southwestern province to fully promote this dream city by the sea. If the momentum is good, they can further expand it, forming a virtuous circle.

"In the future, use less force and study more. Those with artistic talent should learn more about design, those with craftsman and construction talent should practice more about craftsmanship, and those who can learn knowledge should complete the study of economics, finance, statistics, marketing, management, etc. The books in the library of the main city of Southwest Province are enough for them to read."

Lanqi patted the Silver Armored Priest on the shoulder and urged.

Under the extraordinary labor and execution of these resurrected priests, the town is changing rapidly.

A few days ago, Archbishop Kane, who was in charge of the Southwestern Province, was invited by Priest Silver Armor to visit Lilom City. After a private meeting with Lanqi in the temple, he also willingly joined their group.

Now the high priest has returned to the main city of the southwestern province to spread this idea on a wider scale, and has sent more silver-robed priests to Lilom City to study.

"Yes, Tyrant Catholicism possesses unparalleled power and is the true god of wisdom. In order for Tyrant Catholicism to become the ruler of the Protoss Empire's Resurrection Church, we must become the smartest believers, so that we can understand Tyrant Catholicism and become a true member of the Tyrant branch."

The Silver Armored Priest spoke with fanatical eyes.

Now, in addition to building the city-state, they are studying hard every day. Under the inspiration of the pioneers, they have thoroughly realized the importance of wisdom.

I even started to become addicted to studying.

Power has a limit, but knowledge is also power, but it has no limit.

The two of them strolled and chatted all the way outside the temple until the Silver Armor Priest sent Lanqi out of the temple and Lanqi waved goodbye to him.

Then, Lanqi walked through a path outside the temple.

When he walked out from the end of the road, he had returned to his original state.

The little black cat jumped out from the shadows and climbed onto Lanqi's body.

"Lanqi...what on earth are you..."

Boss Cat is now finding it difficult to understand Lanqi.

He seemed to be acting, but also not acting; he seemed to be unable to control himself, but also seemed to be enjoying it.

"Don't worry, Boss Cat, I just let them form a positive worship and belief."

Lanqi caught the cat boss, hugged it, and said with a smile,

"In fact, the original structure of the Resurrection Church tends to be loose and has low cohesion. I further sanctified the Catholic Doctrine that they already worship, turning it into the image of the God of Power and Wisdom. Once the believers have a firm belief, they will form a cognitive community and collective consciousness in thought, thereby weakening individual thoughts and facilitating efficient coordination and operation."

"..."

Boss Cat was stunned for a moment.

It sounds reasonable though.
