The church forces have a deep-seated attachment to supernatural power.
In the face of this persistence, if the forces of empires and kingdoms do not catch them all, they will not be able to stop them from exploring extraordinary power.
But the local church is not just a religious group, but a political group closely connected with the royal power.
Therefore, kingdoms and empires cannot prevent local churches from exploring supernatural phenomena. They can only work with local churches to formulate rules for exploration.
Under this compromise, the local church soon had new theological theories and accepted some supernatural powers.
It can be said that in Byron's world, apart from the special beings who fell from the cracks in the sky, the local church is the force that best understands supernatural phenomena.
This kind of understanding far exceeds that of ordinary people who accidentally acquire extraordinary powers. For example, the operation of Barry, the leader of the Blood Red Church, is full of loopholes in the eyes of Pastor Ian.
He obtained the core regulations of the ceremony in addition to the praise and singing of the sacrificial ceremony.
The content of the regulations is, "These people are qualified warriors, please let their souls enter the spiritual world to fight."
Such a straightforward and cruel description seems to Pastor Ian to be a very controllable ritual.
Because the regulations of the ceremony clearly describe the responsibilities of the sacrifices and the situations they must face.
On the contrary, the performance of Blood Red City is very vague. The good thing is that Blood Red City follows rules. As long as it does not interfere with its operation, it will only invite one soul in every day.
The bad thing is that Blood Red City is too rule-based, which means that rules are its essence and the rest are appearances.
In this way, the Blood Red City is no longer an extraordinary physical phenomenon in the conventional sense, but an information-type conceptual existence.
Its most significant feature is that it is highly infectious. Anyone who has read this kind of information will more or less have some symptoms of infection.
Coupled with the concept of ‘invitation’ shown by the Blood Red City, Pastor Ian will not be surprised if the invitation team from the Blood Red City suddenly appears in front of him.
"Barry is really lucky. He can be invited if he knows his name, and he can be invited if he knows his appearance.
It has been three years, but he has not received an invitation yet. It seems that he The act of sacrifice prevented the Blood Red City's true hunting ability."
Pastor Ian is no stranger to the spiritual world, because the 'artificial kingdom of God' of their Burning Sun Church is there.
The artificial Kingdom of God is not the Kingdom of God, but the largest stronghold of the Burning Sun Church in the spiritual world.
Of course, this does not prevent the priests of the Burning Sun Church from claiming that they have been blessed by the gods and have gained the right to enter the Kingdom of God.
After all, extraordinary beings have appeared outside the world. If the Church of the Burning Sun does not use extraordinary power to frame itself, it is likely to lose its original status.and reputation.
Influenced by the Truth Alchemy Sect, the Lieyang Church regards the gods they worship more as the core of power rather than the true God who blesses everything.
Therefore, they have no scruples in using the power of the spiritual world, and even write many phenomena of the spiritual world into the Fiery Sun Doctrine.
If we say that the Truth Alchemist Sect used magical alchemical potions and blazing gunpowder to shatter the illusion of the Church of the Burning Sun.
Then the spiritual world breaks the reserve and tradition of the Lieyang Church with a residence that can accommodate souls.
Since the Burning Sun Church established the first man-made kingdom of God in the spiritual world, the nature of this local church has changed.
They became true explorers, rather than traditional believers waiting for feedback from the gods.
In order to maintain the soul-containing function of the artificial divine kingdom, they did not kill dangerous lives in the spiritual world.
Instead, it imprisoned it and created a relatively beautiful and harmonious soul space.
Within the Lieyang Church, there are levels of spiritual residences. The more dangerous and smaller the area, the lower the level; the safer, the larger the area, the higher the level.
The Blood Red City is obviously a low-value spiritual residence with a small area and high danger.

Due to the serious tilt in the faith direction of the Lieyang Church, they have obtained the right to explore and attach great importance to the emergence of the spiritual world.
Therefore, when Governor Bell asked them to analyze letters from the spirit world, they immediately pushed the Governor to launch an island war.
It can be said that when letters from the spirit world appeared, it no longer mattered whether the governor wanted to encircle and suppress the cult organization.
The Church of the Burning Sun has a hundred ways to make the governor understand that his interests are being seriously infringed.
The word ‘Sorn’ in the Thorne Empire means ‘sun’, and the Church of the Sun generally refers to the sun.
The Church of the Sun in the Sun Empire, just by the name, you can tell that they are the most orthodox and powerful church among the local churches in the Thorne Empire.
It is very easy for a state-religious force of this level to promote an encirclement and suppression incident. It is so easy that even the inefficient Governor's Mansion can become efficient.
"Bang, Bang, Bang..."
Pastor Ian is thinking about the actual value of the Blood Red City station and whether it is worth taking the risk of being 'invited' , when the soul was staying, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Please come in."
Zhou Weide, who had changed his appearance, opened the door and walked in.
He originally wanted to borrow information about the spiritual world from the captain of the fleet, but the colonel's room was very clean and there was no information about the spiritual world at all.
Fortunately, Colonel Lant is a standard soldier and has the habit of writing combat records, which allowed him to figure out the information about the spiritual world.Where to go.
"Sir, you look a little unfamiliar. You should not be an official of the Governor's Mansion."
"Indeed, Colonel Lant feels that the issue of the spiritual world is very important, so he invited me to come." Let’s analyze the spiritual world information together.”
“Really, sir, is he a truth sect priest or a traditional sect priest? If he is a traditional clergyman, it is best not to read these materials.”
Pastor Ian did not have too much doubt about Zhou Weide's arrival.
Because this is the governor's official residence and is heavily guarded, Zhou Weide was able to walk through the official residence probably because he was invited by Colonel Lant.
He didn’t know that after Zhou Weide replaced his self-control ability again, his real weight was reduced from the previous 87 kilograms to the current 67 kilograms.
Such a light weight, coupled with the further liberated muscle strength and constant force-bearing volume, enable him to walk freely through the Governor's Mansion like a knight who knows qigong.
"Please rest assured, I am a priest of the Truth Sect and can accept the distortion and danger of the world."
Pastor Ian did not reply, but handed Zhou Weide a stack of information for him to review. .
As a senior priest who knows the existence of the spiritual world, Ian does not have the arrogance of grasping the truth of the world.
He always kept in mind the words of the bishop, a free soul needs the support of the body.
Therefore, he respected the military power in the hands of the nobles and the local governor's right to know.
"Sir, although I respect the colonel's decision, I still want to remind you that the interests and dangers of the Blood Red City do not match.
It is too small and too dangerous. It is difficult to transform it into a suitable residence."
"Pastor Ian, why don't you use Black Hand Barry's method to control the danger?"
"That won't work. The empire's analysts can easily analyze the dangers involved. As long as there is danger, the place in the residence is worthless.
Who would keep tigers in his bedroom? Only cats can Decorative environment. ”
