Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Chapter 22 Peripheral Members (2/2)

The implication was clear: the health trial period was over, and now it was time for a decision.

Grandma Narda’s expression changed for quite a while, as she no longer clung to life, but when she thought of her three children, they too had been gravely injured more than once.

Moreover, she did not reject the god who had saved her and was truly grateful to Irene; in fact, the priests of the True Gods Church on the East Coast would never rescue poor people like them.

With respect, Narda asked, “Your god, no, I mean my Lord, what kind of magnificent entity is He?”

“Dawn, the deity we worship, He is the lost Lord of Dawn, He is the embodiment of all things in the world, and the widely known Lord of Salvation is also one of His manifestations.”

Irene closed her eyes and continued indifferently:

“Remember not to spread the secret of His faith, only the chosen messengers of the Fischer family are qualified to proclaim His greatness.”

“Once the doctrine of secrecy is not adhered to, god will gradually become disappointed, and eventually withdraw the blessing bestowed upon you, and you will encounter a terrible curse.”

Narda hurriedly shook her head and nodded with great reverence in her eyes:

“No, never, messenger, I will surely adhere to the doctrine and keep the secret!”

In the world of Claud, deities are not superstitions, but truly magnificent existences; it’s just that the number of True Gods is extremely scarce, and many conceptual beings similar to demons often seize the opportunity to usurp people’s faith.

After finishing, Irene took out a bottle of dark red potion from her bosom and continued calmly:

“Then drink it, and you shall feel the lost Lord of Dawn.”

Grandma Narda didn’t even hesitate for a moment, immediately smiling openly and drank the potion at once.

After a while, she said with some uncertainty:

“I, I seem to have not heard any voice, hasn’t the lost Lord of Dawn come yet?”

“He will come, but the great One wants to first see your performance.”

Irene revealed a smile and continued, “If the performance is good enough, you might even have the possibility of being granted a permanent extraordinary power.”

Narda was utterly astonished internally and instinctively did not believe her.

Although mystical entities can grant temporary extraordinary powers to ordinary people, those without talent could never become true Extraordinary Exponents.

“Alright, I understand.”

Having lived for over eighty years, Narda of course understood the concrete meaning of “good performance” quite well.

Her and her children’s health had been secured in the past and would be in the future. Even if it meant offering up some resources, it was only right and proper, Grandma Narda nodded quite lucidly.

Irene turned to leave, silently pondering the blood containing the Fischer family lineage would most certainly be effective.

Grandma Narda would become a peripheral member of the Dawn Church, and simultaneously another pawn of the great Lord of the Lost.

If she dared to betray, she would be noticed by my Lord in the first instance.

In the routine family meeting, Byrne took out the plan that had been repeatedly revised over several years, which contained a series of ideas on how to establish a secret church, with large portions of the doctrine and rules referenced from the True Gods Church’s scriptures.

They ultimately decided to only recruit a very small number of prestigious people from Nasir Town into the Dawn Church, and every new member’s admission vote had to be unanimously approved by all three core members to pass.

Besides the Five Great True Gods Churches, none of the other faiths on the Ouden Continent were recognized, and the inquisition of the True Gods Church also abhorred heretics extremely.

Once one’s identity as a heretic was confirmed, the lightest punishment was lifelong imprisonment, while the most severe was to be “purified” on the spot.

The fewer people joining the Dawn Church, the lower the chances of the entire church being exposed; therefore, the structure of the organization had to be streamlined.

Irene was the most core priest, followed by other members of the Fischer family, and then the various peripheral members. The nascent Dawn Church’s structure was exceptionally simple.

The current peripheral members of the Dawn Church were only Grandma Narda and the old servant of the Fischer family.

In the deep of the night, Grandma Narda stood beside the window, completely unable to sleep, constantly pondering the ins and outs of the whole affair; she could almost confirm that the Fischer family had been servants of the Lord of Dawn from the beginning.

She couldn’t help but think, “Irene trusts me just like that, what if I report this matter to the inquisition, what would they do?”

Suddenly, a powerful will, as if sensing her subtle emotions, awoke from behind the scenes and looked down upon her coldly from the highest place, emitting a twisted and terrifying aura that seemed capable of utterly destroying everything in existence.

How magnificent!

Grandma Narda trembled uncontrollably and fell to her knees, sweating profusely, and began to pray fervently.

“Lord of Dawn! Great Lord of Dawn, please forgive my disrespectful thoughts…”

He was looking at her!
