Chapter 224: The Benefits Ferment

Originally, Celica thought that after dealing with things here, she would take Karoso and the others to the Pande Empire.

As a result, after this battle, she was severely injured by Minaret and would need to rest for ten to fifteen days, which could only delay her plans.

Just because the Church of Dawn Goddess has enough people, it doesn’t mean the Kingdom of Persia branch does too.

She had to monitor whether there would be any follow-up to the ceremony, check if there were other places with this ceremony, and also clear away the remnants of this incident.

Celica was so exhausted that her head was spinning and she barely had time to do many things.

……

Canglang Province, Morning Star City, Colloa Manor.

Grand Duke Osiris gently tapped the table, his gaze fixed on the wizard from the Church of Wisdom.

"I have said everything I can," the wizard sighed. "After this, I will confess and renounce my faith."

As he spoke these words, the wizard’s heart bled.

How important faith is; this is something very hard to understand in the time of the bullet comments.

Many people watching spy dramas find it difficult to comprehend the actions of past ancestors.

For example, why countless lives would be lost for an ordinary child, even one who brought trouble upon themselves.

They seek neither money, nor women, nor power, and when caught, would rather die than give in…

In fact, this is a kind of faith.

The wizard held an almost fanatical belief in the Church of Wisdom.

However, for Neymar, or rather for the God of Wisdom, he had to confess to the Wizard Association that he did not belong to the Church of the God of Wisdom, and that those evil deeds were his personal actions, unrelated to the summoning ritual.

"Well, I have done what I promised you," Grand Duke Osiris said calmly. "In Canglang Province and throughout the entire Presea Empire, churches are being built everywhere. In the future, all of this will belong to the Church of the God of Wisdom."

"Do not let down your deity, and do not waste everything we have given."

"In any case, please make sure to protect the safety of my lord’s avatar," the wizard deeply bowed.

"Sigh…"

An old pastor wearing a blue robe sighed, "Your sins, seek forgiveness from the Lord after you die. The rest, leave it to us."

This old pastor is the current pope of the Church of the God of Wisdom, an eighth-tier pastor.

He looked very old, his hands were covered in calluses, and his face was full of the unique wrinkles of age.

If he had not been contacted, he would not have worn this robe, but would have quietly spread the word of God.

After hearing the wizard’s message, he thought it was a joke at first, but this wizard’s fierce belief was famous throughout the Church of the Wise God, so he had to believe it.

And so, he contacted Grand Duke Osiris.

"Thank you, Your Grace." The Pope bowed to Osiris, "You have a wonderful daughter."

"Yes." Grand Duke Osiris nodded, "It is an honor for my daughter’s health to be favored by the God of Wisdom."

Grand Duke Osiris didn’t really understand church matters.

However, it is true that he can do a lot using Neymar’s identity.

For instance, the headquarters of the Church of the Wise God would be located in Canglang Province, and the high-level members of the church are already skilled experts.

This means that Grand Duke Osiris strengthened the power of Canglang Province without putting in much effort.

In the original story, Neymar had a laid-back attitude, and since the God of Wisdom occupied some of Neymar’s mind, along with Neymar’s disapproval of Karoso’s path, this power was scattered.

And now, Grand Duke Osiris is still alive, and the power of the whole Canglang Province can be united like a single rope.

This power, which was originally for players to use, now belongs to Canglang Province.

However… this is a risky move.

In the words of the Emperor, everything depends on Neymar being recognized as a true god and still being alive.

If we cannot protect Neymar, all of this is just talk, and Canglang Province will become an enemy of the Church of the Wisdom God.

Because Canglang Province informed the Church of the Wisdom God only after Neymar’s accident, instead of returning their deity from the start.

"Excuse me, does the Grand Duke have a detailed plan for how to rescue our deity?" the Pope asked.

"Yes." Grand Duke Osiris knew that trust was the basis for cooperation, and he placed the list of plans on the table.

The Pope looked at it seriously and soon frowned.

"This won’t work; it still has drawbacks." The Pope looked up and spoke to Grand Duke Osiris, "If the Duke is willing to trust us, I have talented people who specialize in strategy and planning ready to help with the rescue. Trust me, no one wants to welcome our Lord more than we do."

"Sure," Grand Duke Osiris’s eyes sparkled.

What is the strongest thing about the Church of Wisdom God?

It is not their power, nor their special spells, but their knowledge!

They have plenty of schemers, politicians, strategists, and people who study all kinds of knowledge; the Church of Wisdom God lacks nothing.

……

A few days later, Grand Duke Osiris and the Church of Wisdom God were plotting together.

Grand Duke Osiris stood in the garden, thinking about his earlier conversation with Karoso, feeling like it was from another world.

Now, Karoso had come this far, leaving his two older brothers far behind.

Whoosh!

Just as Grand Duke Osiris was feeling emotional, a cold dagger pressed against his neck.

"You’ve returned," Grand Duke Osiris seemed completely unsurprised.

Minaret looked pale, with wounds all over his body, and appeared very weak.

"I have completed what you asked me to do," Minaret said in a deep voice, "I saved my fellow people."

"So, are you here to kill me now?" Grand Duke Osiris smiled slightly.

"That’s right, I accept your head!"

"Then why don’t you make your move?" Grand Duke Osiris said calmly, "It’s just a matter of lightly swinging the knife."

Minaret fell silent.

Grand Duke Osiris turned around to face Minaret.

"What are you doing?" Minaret clenched the dagger tightly.

Grand Duke Osiris was unafraid and took a step forward.

Minaret’s expression changed, and he decisively stepped back.

"You wouldn’t dare to kill me, would you?" Grand Duke Osiris smiled and said, "It must not feel good to be hunted by the Church."

The Church’s power was still strong; in just a few days, Minaret was nearly driven to a dead end, and many of those he had saved had died.

"I am not afraid of the Church!" Minaret said, his veins bulging.

"Your comrades are afraid," Grand Duke Osiris replied calmly. "You used to be a lone wolf, but now… you have things to worry about."

Minaret fell silent again.

"Pledge your loyalty to me; if you want to protect them and yourself, you must rely on Canglang Province."

"Can you protect them?"

"Of course, I can protect them, and I can protect you too."

Now, with the church as support, Grand Duke Osiris feels very confident.
