1475: Chapter 543: Divine Kingdom_2 1475: Chapter 543: Divine Kingdom_2 “Of course, there are restrictions.” Santa said, “In fact, no living creatures can pass through this void channel.” It’s funny that this prohibition is not designed to prevent enemies, but to stop fanatic believers from hiding in the offerings and risking their own lives to catch a glimpse of “My God”!
During the early days of the Fla of Stars spreading in Boneset Country, more than ten fanatic believers died in this channel each year.
Later, the Holy See strictly checked the offerings, and this situation was gradually put to an end.
Sun Da Ren was walking on the streets of Hamilton City, and although there was a fierce battle on the front line, the city was still lively and bustling, with people indulging in extravagance.
“What should we do?”
Santa laughed, “We pretend to be dead.”
At this mont, the two were standing in front of the largest divine temple inside the city, and the central temple of the Fla of Stars’ faith in the Boneset Empire.
This temple was called “Holy Fire Temple”.
In the eyes of others, the old and the young, the master and the servant, were full of fanaticism, just like those country bumpkins who ca to pilgrimage from afar.
…
The Holy Fire Temple had been very busy lately due to the tight war situation.
The Holy See had no choice but to send a large number of unlucky individuals to the front line.
Who should be sent was decided by the Second Judicature.
The personal wealth of one cardinal bishop and three bishops within the Judicature skyrocketed recently.
The Confession Room, which has been the most lucrative departnt in the Holy Fire Temple for many years, is now busier than ever.
The Confession Room is responsible for exchanging sacrifices for God’s blessing.
In such a tumultuous ti, everyone, whether selected for the battlefield or temporarily left out, as well as ordinary believers and imperial nobles, wanted to enhance their strength through any ans possible.
Exchanging sacrifices for God’s grace is the only way for believers to get stronger.
Not long ago, the Fla of Stars suddenly stopped responding to the believers, which frightened the higher-ups of the Holy See.
Fortunately, the responses resud a few months later.
Moreover, “My God” suddenly beca very “thirsty,” and the demand for offerings greatly increased.
The sa offerings could now be exchanged for 10% more blessings from God than before.
However, the majority of believers, even the great nobles of the empire, were not aware of this situation.
The additional 10% of God’s grace was divided among the Pope, the two cardinal bishops, and the entire Confession Room.
anwhile, the believers didn’t know that when they offered their sacrifices, the Holy See would deduct 10% of their offerings.
The intense sense of crisis among believers brought more substantial profits to the Holy See!
They could make twice as much as before!
Even the Pope couldn’t help but rejoice in his heart, secretly praying fervently: May the empire’s crisis be more intense and more enduring!
However, the Emperor of the Empire and the great nobles couldn’t stand it.
Losing territories and subjects ant a decrease in tax revenue, which ant everyone’s wallets were shrinking.
Moreover, if the Lasbilt Fortress fell, it might even shake the rule of the empire.
The high-ranking nobles were sent to the front line one after another, and their power was temporarily increased within the fortress.
The “pretend believers” were held off at the gates of the city.
The emperor and the great nobles finally had a mont to catch their breath.
The great nobles and the emperor quickly devised a counterattack plan, intending to decide the outco in one decisive battle at Lasbilt Fortress!
At least on paper, the imperial side had three tis the strength of the pretend believers!
Although both sides had roughly the sa number of ordinary soldiers, the empire had an absolute advantage when it ca to believers.
The emperor offered various rewards for military achievents, granting nobility as if it were free, and the effects were remarkable.
The great aristocratic families took out the treasures they had been collecting for generations, offering them to “My God” through the divine temple to gain powerful strength and increase their chances of survival on the battlefield.
Although Santa’s Predecessor said he had a plan, it was Sun Da Ren who had to make the actual arrangents during the execution phase.
On their third day in Hamilton City, a viscount in the city took out a batch of treasured ores and two Tier-6 Monster Beast corpses to offer to “My God” in exchange for divine blessings to be bestowed upon his unlucky eldest son.
The eldest son had received the empire’s order to report to Lasbilt Fortress in five days.
The viscount wasn’t a pretend believer, but among his servants, six of them were spies for the Horizon Bureau.
The leader of these spies was the viscount’s horseman.
This horseman was quite talented.
Originally, he was the only one who betrayed the viscount, but within just two months, he managed to recruit five more “comrades” and establish his own organization within the viscount’s residence!
As a result, the detailed arrangents for the viscount’s offerings were completely given to Sun Da Ren.
The offerings were placed in a bronze wooden box with storage capabilities, escorted by the viscount’s most trusted Power of Five Mountains knight.
The box was to be delivered to the southwest gate of the Holy Fire Temple at ten o’clock tonight.
Due to the large number of believers offering sacrifices lately, the viscount’s eldest son had to wait in line, and it wouldn’t be his turn until three days later.
The knight had dinner at six o’clock in the evening, then ca to the viscount’s residence to wait.
At nine o’clock, he took the wooden box from the viscount, checked its contents, and set off with the box in his arms.
He would arrive at the southwest gate of the Holy Fire Temple at nine-thirty.
This entrance was an inconspicuous small door.
At ten o’clock, a priest from the Confession Room would open the door and take the wooden box from his hands.
Recently, there had been several cases of the robbery of noble offerings in Hamilton City.
Therefore, the viscount was very cautious in his arrangents and demanded strict confidentiality!
