Reject me, you damn woman.

"Shut up, do you know who that is? He is His Highness Lin En! He is His Highness Novi's elder brother and the third prince of the empire!"

It’s His Highness Lin En, then it’s okay.

The soldiers immediately shut up, but their discussion reached Father Eris's ears.

The priest's eyes rolled, and he immediately showed a more flattering smile, but he heard Lin En smile helplessly and said:

"But, did I ask you to be nicer to the three priests?"

"Well... they were the first to..."

“Don’t make excuses.”

Lynn knocked Novi on the head.

Completely different from facing the priests and soldiers, Novi lowered her head, her little face puffed up with grievance.

Lin En was about to say something, but Eris and the other man waved their hands hastily and said:

"No, no, Your Highness Lin En, please don't scold Your Highness Novi. We asked her to treat us roughly!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The Moon God Father Modern beside him also nodded repeatedly, his face full of flattery:

"Being looked down upon by a beautiful girl with trashy eyes is the best! We have to thank His Highness Novi!"

"Well, in that case, I won't pursue you."

Lin En smiled and touched Novi's head, then looked at the two of them directly.

"You two...it should be three. Hello, I'm sorry to show up only now. I'm the real inviter of the three, Lynn Norton."

Modern was about to say something when he heard a loud shout from the side. Father Anel, the Holy Light priest, said with tears in his eyes:

"Holy Light, no wonder the gods told me that a noble person would come to visit me today. It turned out to be a sign that His Highness Lin En, the Empire and the Church will be united forever, but... "

This old bastard!

Having lost the initiative, Modden cursed in his heart.

"but?"

Lynn showed genuine doubt.

Eris had already started cursing in her heart, wondering if this prince was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. He was still confused even after she had said so much. Why did he feel even worse than His Highness Novi?

"That's it...that's it,"

Father Eris gritted his teeth, thinking of the leaking roof of the church, and he was willing to risk his reputation:

"Punishing demons and saving lives are the unshirkable responsibilities of the cult that serves God. But, could you please let the cult have some of your glory? For example, donate two imperial gold coins, or something..."

"I see, this is what you desire, Father. It's such a pity."

Lynn showed a regretful expression.

"But don't worry, after this happens, I will donate a sum of money to the church in my own name. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Holy Light, why did my Lord give me an oracle today? It turns out that a saint is going to visit me!"

Father Eris had tears in his eyes, but he also noticed another sentence from Lin En:

"But what do you mean by pity, Your Highness?"

"Is such that,"

Lin En sighed in agreement.

"At the banquet just now, the head of the Bol family generously donated a large piece of reserved land to the empire. I had originally planned to donate a portion of it to the church as a thank you gift for the three of you for your trip. However, since you insist on exchanging it for cash, there is nothing I can do. Don't worry, everything is up to you!"

"Bo...Master Bol's reservation?!"

Father Eris' eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

How could he, who had studied a lot on how to preach in the upper class society of Zijinhua, not know the eight major families?

Not to mention the reserved areas of the eight major families, those are the real urban centers, and they are like two different countries compared to the deserted fringe areas now.

Being able to build churches and preach in the city... By the Holy Light, Eris wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

If his flattery of Lin En as a saint was just empty talk, then in his eyes, the word "saint" is no longer worthy of Lin En. He is simply a living angel sent by the Holy Light!

"No, no, no, Your Highness Lin En, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. It is my fault for tarnishing the Holy Light with vulgar money. I will do my best for the empire! Please also leave the reservation land and the like to me."

Eris looked righteous.

"Thank you, Father,"

Lynn nodded.

"By the way, I was just having a headache about how to allocate territories to the three major churches, but thanks to Father Arnel's revelation, I now have an idea."

Arnel?

Father Modden, the Moon Goddess, and Father Eris, the Holy Light Goddess, looked at each other. When did that big idiot from Mother Earth's family get so close to His Highness Lin En?

“So what is your distribution plan?”

Eris flattered.

Lynn raised two fingers, then looked at Father Arnel who was still violently beating the evil spirit, and then raised three fingers.

Eris suddenly realized:

"I understand. Your Highness means to divide the territory into three equal parts. This is indeed a good way to divide it."

"No,"

Lin En shook his head and smiled slightly:

"What I mean is that Father Arnell's performance has earned him 30% of the land on the reservation."

Eris & Modern:?

Just as Lin En was about to raise his fourth finger, the two priests finally became anxious.

"Wait, wait, Your Highness, leave it to us. Leave these demons to us."

"Holy Light, do you see that evil?"

With Lynn's friendly "encouragement", the two priests finally ignited their fighting spirit and joined the battle with an attitude no less fierce than Father Arnel.

It was originally just a mission that I was forced to participate in, so I just did it for the sake of my own will.

Every bullet fired now represents their bright future and large tracts of land in the downtown area!

That is a large number of uncivilized, devout believers who need them to save!

The other two heavy machine guns that had been preheated also roared, and the dense holy bullets intertwined into a purification net, which instantly curbed the offensive of the evil spirits and even pushed them back. Some soldiers and shadow knights who were still fighting stopped their actions in amazement, looking at the three muscular brothers who were chanting scriptures loudly and firing wildly.

"This thing is much more useful than Holy Light!"

Someone cheered loudly.

........

Seeing the situation reversed in an instant, Novi was also a little stunned.

As a frontline commander who witnessed the demons' siege with her own eyes and immediately carried out defense according to Lin En's instructions, no one knew better than her how much pressure the demons' siege brought.

Those monsters were impenetrable to swords and guns, and were fearless of death. Some of them even mastered simple elemental magic. According to the instructions left by Lin En in advance, it was already the limit for everyone to work together to barely stop them, not to mention reversely curbing the attacks of these monsters.

What shocked Novi the most was that while the three priests were carrying their heavy weapons and moving forward, the flames from their guns never stopped.

You should know that the weapons in the hands of the three priests are not ordinary firearms, but weapons that have been improved and customized by Lynn and Holly and are suitable for the magical world.

When loading bullets, the muzzle of the machine gun will fire ordinary bullets, but if it is not loaded or equipped with magic stones, it will fire magic bullets with elemental power. The power is much stronger than ordinary bullets, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy.

Even Novi would feel tired after firing continuously for about half a minute.

The religious orders that serve God do not practice arcane arts; instead, they master divine arts and miracle arts that are unique to the believers of God.

But divine magic is not endless!

Normally, a priest who was equivalent to a first- or second-ring arcanist would need a whole day of prayer to recover after casting a restoration spell once or twice.

These three priests, who looked nothing like priests, seemed to have endless divine grace. The weapons in their hands never stopped emitting holy light bullets!

"Haha, are you surprised?"

Seeing Novi's expression, Lin En couldn't help but smile.

"Novi, it seems that you have some misunderstandings about the strength and identities of the three priests."

Novi nodded slowly.

There is nothing to hide in front of Lynn.

The reason why they were rude to the three priests was not only because those three guys were obviously enjoying it, but also because some Purple Gold Flower atheists had a natural aversion to charlatans.

Not just Novi, in the eyes of most citizens of the imperial capital, these three lazy and unpretentious priests of the sect, whose biggest hobby every day is chanting scriptures and recruiting new members, are at best three ordinary pastors, and they were ostracized by the sect and thrown to the Purple Gold Flower to fend for themselves.

During the recruitment process, the three of them made all kinds of fuss, and frantically hinted at and asked Novi about the remuneration. They made no secret of their desire for money and high society, which made Novi look down on them a little.

As if seeing through Novi's thoughts, Lin En laughed softly:

"Haha, Novi, then in your opinion, what kind of person is a truly good clergyman?"

"Is it the saint who wears a luxurious red robe, holds a gold-studded scepter, sits in a church full of holy atmosphere with a look of indifference on his face, and baptizes people with compassionate scriptures and blessed holy water?"

Novi nodded subconsciously. In fact, most people’s impression of true clergy is like this.

"is it?"

Lynn showed a sarcastic expression:

"Then, if you have no desires, why do you need to arm yourself with red robes, golden scepters and holy churches? If you don't care about power and worship, why do you want more people to worship you than to honor the gods you serve?"

Novi was stunned and speechless.

Lin En touched the girl's head and chuckled:

"This may not be easy to explain to you, so let me put it another way. According to the rank regulations of the divine magic system, only clergy above the rank of priest are qualified to preach, bishops can be the head of the clergy of a city, archbishops can lead a diocese, and only cardinal-level bishops are qualified to sit in a country's capital and command the power of the clergy of the entire country."

"Could it be that..."

Novi opened her mouth slightly, her face full of shock.

"Yes, Novi,"

Lin En also smiled, which was rare.

"These three inconspicuous clergymen, sloppy and useless, who couldn't even fix a leaky house, are all genuine cardinals who came to the Purple Gold Flower Empire alone across several countries with a musket in one hand and a classic in the other to preach!"

"..."

Novi could only remain silent, but thinking of Lin En's promise, she couldn't help but feel a little worried:

"But brother, isn't it a bit..."

Of course, Lin En understood what Novi meant.

The deal he had just made with the three archbishops was ostensibly to build churches and distribute land, but in reality it was to allow the three to preach in the downtown area.

The performance of the three tonight will surely gain the attention and even faith of many nobles.

In the era of imperial rule, in addition to the corruption of the nobles and the emperor himself, theocracy is also a factor that is extremely likely to cause turmoil and corruption. The purity of the three archbishops and whether they can restrain their subordinates in the future are two different issues.

What's more, Zijinhua has always been a country that has been held back and poisoned by the corrupt aristocracy. Judging from tonight's transaction, Lin En is indeed a huge profit. In the long run, it is difficult to say whether it is a loss or a profit.

After noticing Novi's worry, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle:

"It seems that you have indeed made a lot of progress. You can actually consider such long-term things."

"But, Novi, you got one thing wrong."

Novi raised her head curiously, and Lin En did not keep her in suspense:

"Since the first emperor, people have believed in the country and their own hands instead of gods. This was not manipulated by the royal family or the nobles, but the people's own choice."

"Compared to the three in front of you, do you think the priest wearing a divine robe, holding a golden scepter, and sprinkling holy water is more like a true clergyman? But will you believe in their god because of his divine robe, golden scepter, and holy water?"

Novi shook her head firmly.

Of course not. She didn't believe in any gods. At the same time, the girl's face turned slightly red. She glanced at the profile of Qingjun beside her shyly, and couldn't help but think sweetly in her heart:
