"Pope Agatha~"
Pope Agatha, draped in the cloak embroidered with wheat ears of the Earth Mother Goddess Church, silently bowed her head, clearly not much in the mood to speak.
Then everyone heard Pope phiel's voice suddenly turn cold, though the expression on his face remained calm, as he said:
"Pope Agatha, I still rember the words carved on the Holy Hall of the Earth Mother Goddess Church: 'Understanding the needs of the people, practicing the righteousness of the earth.' So now, do you know the direction you need to go?"
"We have always known." When Agatha lifted her head, she looked toward Pope phiel's direction and softly said, "Lord phiel, sotis when you stand too high, the wind blows stronger, and the sandstorm can confuse your sight, making it hard to discern the direction forward."
phiel did not hide his dissatisfaction with Pope Agatha, shaking his head with a slight tone of amusent in his voice.
This ti, he turned his gaze toward Pope Marcus of the Magic Goddess Church:
"Pope Marcus, how does the Magic Goddess Church consider this matter?"
Pope Marcus was silent for a mont, then suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Consider?"
When he lifted his head to look at Pope phiel, the expression on Pope Marcus's face was very unpleasant, clearly showing an anger ready to erupt:
"phiel, I have endured for so long. I was born in the North, a place filled with snow and ice, where the northern winds always blow, yet I know it's a place that warms the heart.
The weather on the Holy Mountain is much better, with many seasons bathed in warm sunlight, but I have not felt the warmth of this Holy Mountain for a long ti, only the pain of an encroaching endless winter.
But, phiel, eventually, soone must break through the blockade of winter. It has always been so, and will be so in the future. Winter will not erase our pride, it will only add to our resilience against the icy winds. This re winter can be overco."
Pope Marcus, the current head of the Magic Goddess Church.
Interestingly, although he is the leader, Pope Marcus has seldom resided at the headquarters of the Magic Goddess Church on the Holy Mountain over the years, more often stationed in several major districts of the Magic Goddess Church.
For many years, he has been committed to organizing the mbers of the Magic Goddess Church to participate in the attack and defense of high-risk dungeons across the regions.
Even now, with the sacred Briania and Yibel federations at odds, the priests of the Magic Goddess Church still silently follow Pope Marcus's orders, stationed at the entrances of major dungeons, defending against the encroachnt of those high-risk monsters into surrounding regions.
Over these many years, many have only focused on the developnt of the Mage Group, marveling at the rising prosperity of the Mage Academia, yet have never considered one question: Although mages ascend with relative difficulty, their advantage among the sa level is very apparent.
In principle, for such an occupation, once there is an intention to expand, it will certainly encounter resistance from other occupational peers.
It's a simple reason: The number of newborns erging in each period is limited, and the number that can beco professionals in the future is similarly limited.
The more candidate professionals you attract, the fewer candidate professionals other professions will inevitably draw.
This is a zero-sum ga.
Therefore, if possible, even letting those unsuitable to certain professions stagnate within their established career paths, with no chance of developnt in their lifeti, they would rather than see others flourish.
The one who wishes most for your downfall is often your peer, and this truth applies across different occupational groups.
So who has always withstood the pressure imposed from other occupational domains after the expansion of the mage profession, and who has used what ans that all factions, despite a large-scale ergence of mage groups under their command, have not been overly worried?
Only now can the Magic Goddess Church achieve this feat.
After all, considering the customs of the Yibel Federation, they do not keep idle deities.
And now, it seems as if with the statent from the Earth Mother Goddess Church and the Magic Goddess Church, the atmosphere on site has changed slightly, becoming sowhat confrontational.
phiel didn't say much more, just calmly looked toward the other few Popes of the True God Churches.
Pope Aaron of the Church of the God of Comrce seed a bit restless, shifting his body as he looked toward Pope phiel, smiling sincerely and said:
"Speaking of this matter, our Church of the God of Comrce over here has received divine revelation. This ti is also a good occasion to explain the situation to everyone; my god expressed that large-scale chaos would disrupt the fundantal operation of comrcial order, so it is very upset with what Holy Briania has done during this ti."
"Oh?" phiel smiled faintly, "And then?"
"What I an is, shouldn't we temporarily ease the tensions? It's not that I can't account for things with my God over there." Pope Aaron wiped the sweat off his forehead, speaking with a face full of helplessness.
"As long as this war victory can be achieved, the victor will gain enough resources and benefits. Isn't this, in a sense, a comrcial action on a national level?"
