Chapter 389 (2/2)
Whenever I used the power of Holy Light, I would always praise the Holy Light out loud or at least pretend to move my lips This was sihts This person before ht incredibly siht
“Your Euess is absolutely on the mark We members of the Southern Sect don’t believe in the God of Holy Light Instead, we believe in the Holy Light itself If only the Church of Holy Light knee’d beco first”
Not only was I astonished at what I just heard, I was even more astonished to hear what he addressed me as
“Lady Evelyn also mentioned to me that you lost your previous memories in Bardi As the sixth leader of the Southern Sect as well as your disciple, I should inform you once more about the majestic achievements you had back in the day…”
As this elderly man naradually unraveled
The Southern Sect’s forht” The Holy Church’s higher-ups perceived the of the Holy Church’s teachings, but only the core members of the Holy Church knew that this was no s the God of Holy Light, they worshi+ped the pure Holy Light itself
They originated in the Bardi Empire’s capital, and this sect’s creator was Roland Blackhand, also known back then as “Baron Blackhand” And the establishreatly supported by the Bardi royalty froeneration Ever since the birth of this tiny church sect, its creator gave it a unique ht to replace the rotten and decaying Holy Church
“Currently, the Southern Sect has hout Bardi and the corners of various countries They act as if they are mes of the Holy Light Actually, apart froht, there’s no obvious difference between us and Holy Light priests I enerations ago And that’sto start a new Holy War at any cost In the Holy Church’s eyes, evil deserves to die, but heretics deserve to die evendifference whether soht itself, you say? Actually, there was a huge difference Those orshi+pped the God of Holy Light would treat hi and everything, nition Those who only recognized the existence of the Holy Light itself, believing the Holy Light to be the source of its oer, practiced a non-personified type of worshi+p—this meant the Holy Church would lose its divine authority fro everyone In fact, it could even be said that theywere the ones who falsely personified the God of Holy Light if that was the case
This was also why heretics would be considered far erous than any source of evil as well as why my little show in the Northlands—the Huht job class members to be shaken in or lose their beliefs
This was an even scarier threat to the Holy Church than the Holy War itself, which hy, at that e, the entire Bardi Empire was treated as a heretic country Since there was such a gigantic problematic sect headquartered here, Pope Caloainst Bardi
Since Bardi had now been declared as a heretic and was the source of this so-called heretical church, Bardi and the Southern Sect became natural allies After Orloss broke with the Holy Church and exiled large nuht job class members from Bardi, Amoya, who re new Southern Sect churches on a large scale and openly began spreading the pure teachings of the Holy Light The seed I planted back in the year had finally begun to sprout
Even without anyitI would have done back then
Back then, I was soht I was filled with hatred and the desire for revenge I was considered evil, with all glory and honor stripped froht Just this alone would be capable of shaking the entire Holy Church’s foundational authority
It would be almost impossible to truly destroy an entire church from the outside with force—internal factions and heretics would be the most fatal of all That hy I h I didn’t know if it would sprout successfully or not, doing such a thing wouldn’t be a loss for me in any way
“Every prophecy you left behind has come true Since all the major events you spoke of in your Holy Codex has come true, our faith has only become more fervent, and those who doubted you have returned to us When evil suppressed justice, we hid as you requested us to Fortunately, just as you prophesized, h our hard efforts At the very least, we have all succeeded in avoiding the countless Undead Di despair in Bardi”
Since I had intended to spread s, how could I possibly nition?” It would be quite easy for me to write a bunch of prophecies and then obtain belief in my prophecies that I passed off as soradually strengthen, which was so the me from back in the day probably expected Otherwise, there would be no need to pretend at prophesizing
Actually, the current Roland was doing the exact sa seeds everywhere Even he himself didn’t know if the seeds would sprout successfully or not
Right now, this particular seed was no longer an immature one It had now sprouted into a robust, tall tree which had experienced over two hundred years of inclement weather to reachrampant, the Southern Sect became one of Orloss’s hidden aces as well as the faction he trusted the ht priests were the ainst the undead That was also the foundational reason why Orloss was so thankful toat me as if I was some monster Well, plans that took several hundred years to co with prophecies that one hundred percent ca These tales they were hearing aboutin a fairy tale or ht before them
“We absolutely believe that Your E the evil which lurks behind the shadows Actually, when Her Highness Glina was reporting your titles, she left out the most important one: The Establisher of the Southern Sect We are your most loyal followers What you perforthened our faith even further, and we began to openly spread our faith in Eich Perhaps this is why that fake Holy Church, which is ed”
Alright then This elderly church leader’s eyes were filled with fervent belief inthat this was all part of fate He believed that the Areddon that I prophesized would definitely arrive He believed that hard as all that was needed to overcome the misfortune However, I was confident that Orloss believed sos froood knife only required a master,” just my relationshi+p with the Southern Sect alone see of an obstacle Perhaps Orloss was truly being apologetic with his gift to ave ht be the day I died
At this ht, let’s not talk about such abstract things To showwith you, let me introduce our Archduke Halent …Actually, he should be called Halent Milan—nized successor to the throne and crown prince of the Bardi Empire, the future Bardi Emperor”
