Three days later, over the Griffin Principality, Xinghui City Council Hall

"How is the defense in Taron Guard City now?"

Yue Yulou, who had recovered his spirit, was sitting upright on the high platform of the conference hall, asking in a deep voice about the defense of Tarenjiad, the capital of the Griffon Principality... Just a few days ago, the members of [Mu] had found the place where the Griffon Heart was stored - the Hero Temple of Tarenjiad.

"Thanks to your previous actions in the Unicorn Empire, Grand Duke Torifen has dispatched two elite troops who are guarding the capital to the Unicorn Empire, and we have fewer obstacles..."

Before the soul assassin Chakos finished speaking, Yue Yulou shook his head gently and said lightly:

"Chakos, those legions are not our obstacles... What I need to know now is the situation of those strong people."

"Yes, leader... Since Grand Duke Torifen brought many powerful people to the front line, there are currently only more than a dozen fourth-level strong people in Tarengaardry, mainly distributed in the palace, military camp and hero temple..."

"What about the situation in the church?"

After hearing Yue Yulou's words, Chakos' blurry face rarely showed a hint of embarrassment. After he hesitating for a while, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"I am incompetent... The light breath of that Hagia Sophia Cathedral is too strong. As long as I get closer, I will be discovered immediately, so I am not able to detect the situation of the church..."

Hearing this, Yue Yulou also realized that he had asked a very stupid question just now. He then patted his forehead and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Haha, why am I confused... Chakos, you can't blame you for this. After all, Hagia Sophia is one of the oldest churches... It can almost be regarded as a half-holy land of light, and even if I step on it, I may be discovered."

After saying that, Yue Yulou turned his head to Manchester, who had been in the church for a long time.

"Tree William, do you know who the Archbishop of the Griffon Principality is now?"

"Well...if I remember correctly, the patriarch of the Griffon Principality should still be the 'sin eater'-Don Augsger Helodivin."

As soon as Terry William said that name, all the undead present were in an uproar and began to talk to each other...

"Is it the 'sin eater' who is very proficient in the art of divine submission and the art of truth?"

"It turned out to be that old lunatic, it's a bit tricky."

"I was chased by him and more than a dozen holy knights for a week..."

……………………

Dongdong!

Yue Yulou gently tapped a wooden board in front of him with his right hand, and all the undead closed their mouths. After the scene calmed down, Yue Yulou asked Arucardo, a vampire in Baiye:

"Arucardo, are the people in your cemetery very familiar with Helodivin?"

"Yes, leader... Helodiwen is a very famous hardline figure in the Light Church. He is at the fourth level and is proficient in divine submission techniques and truth words. He is quite powerful. His [spiritual awareness] seems to be able to visualize his own [truth words]... and he often leads his team to chase and kill undeads... Basically, no undeads who are active in the human world have not been chased by him. The undead mages and undeads who die at his hands are probably more than his white hair..."

"Is it this kind of [spiritual awareness]... It seems that the biggest trouble in Tarongaard is the Church of Light..."

After Yue Yulou lowered his head and thought for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked Douglas, who was in charge of information from other regions:

"Douglas, how is the situation now in Alaris (the headquarters of the Church of Light, a place similar to the Vatican in reality)?"

"Alaris seems to be focusing on the principality of Greyhound, and the Pope of the Church of Light has spoken... The Grand Duke of Greyhound has only two ways to choose, either walk on the stolen frame by himself, or be tied to the stolen frame by the messenger of Light... It is said that even the Inquisition sent the four Apocalypse Knights, [Death] and [Plague], to command the Legion of Light on the border of the Greyhound, and it is estimated that the war will break out within a week at the latest."

Yue Yulou nodded, signaling the other party to sit down, and then slowly stood up. Then he waved his right hand in front of him, and a huge translucent holographic map appeared in the middle of the meeting hall, which accurately depicted every corner of Taron Guard City...

"The palace, military camp, Hagia Sophia...the power that can interfere with our actions should only appear in these few areas."

As the sound of Yue Yulou sounded, the corresponding places on the map were easily circled one by one.

"So... since we don't understand the power arrangement of the Church of Light in the city, we can't act rashly for the time being...Carry."

Yue Yulou looked at the dark elf who was gently wiping the black sword in his hand, smiled slightly, and said half-jokingly:

"Carry, you seem to know what I want you to do... Do you want to increase the difficulty and plan to solve the Helodivan with your own hands?"

"Haha...I don't have that kind of strength? Leader, you plan to let me go into the city to reconnaise the Hagia Sophia Cathedral of the Church of Light... Those bone racks cannot be approached, but I can use shadow spells to get closer..."

Yue Yulou nodded gently, then circled several places on the map, and instructed the dark elves:

"Carry, although you are going to reconnaissance, don't get too close... The light breath of Hagia Sophia is much stronger than you think. You just need to understand the power composition of the church. For the remaining information, go to the thieves club and the tavern, remember... Don't expose your identity. Since our power is not strong enough, the first action must be secret and sudden."

"As for orders...the leader."

Soon, Kari disappeared into the meeting hall, while Yue Yulou sat back on the chair and began to continue discussing the subsequent actions with everyone. At this time, no one in Tarongaard City noticed that his eyes were coveting their country treasure had quietly come to the sky above the city...

……………………

The Principality of Griffon, Taron Guard, Hagia Sophia.

"Well...How is the battle between Grand Duke Taolifen and those heretics now?"

An old man wearing a crimson bishop's robe with a solemn face and a white-haired man holding a heavy book of light, lowering his head and standing in front of a cross radiating light with a light golden glow. Behind him, a knight in silver armor was standing respectfully. After hearing the old man's inquiry, he immediately raised his head and said softly:

"Biography of the Parliament Helodiwen, the Grand Duke is still fighting against the enemy in the scorching sun fortress, and the balance of victory is slowly leaning towards us..."

"The power of light is everywhere...the heretics are destined to belong only to the stolen frame."

The old man seemed very satisfied with the knight's answer. After chanting loudly, he immediately turned his body slowly and said in a very calm tone:

"Please go back and tell the Grand Duke that as long as he sincerely serves the great Dragon of Light, victory will always belong to him. However... now greater evil forces have gathered in the Duke of Greyhound. I hope the Grand Duke can draw some troops to assist the church in eradicating the cancers that are parasitic in Asan..."

"I will tell the Grand Duke, Patriarch Helodiwen..."

"Yeah...go."

After bowing deeply, the knight immediately turned around and left the church, while the old man turned around and continued his previous prayer...

"Hlodiven... You were a little confused just now. The Duchy of Falcon has not been declared heresy yet. Once your words are spread, they will have some bad impact on your later campaign for the new pope."

Suddenly, a low voice slowly rang out, and then a red figure gradually appeared in the dark corner to the old man's right...

"Why are you... coming?"

The old man obviously knew who the visitor was just listening to the sound, but he still seemed very surprised, as if he could not find any reason for the other party to come here.

"Because I have a very important task...I came to pick up that thing..."

The voice was still very low and hoarse, but when the old man heard the words behind, a hint of fanatical light burst out in his eyes...

…………………………………

Late at night, Xinghui City

In his spare time, Yue Yulou still stood quietly on the edge of the city as usual, looking at the night view below. However, the Sky City had already arrived near Tarenjiad, so the lights flashing like stars in the magnificent city in the distance made Yue Yulou's mood somewhat different from the past...

"Arucardo, is that problem again?"

The vampire Arucardo slowly walked to Yue Yulou, looked at the city below with a blank expression, and said lightly:

"Leader, you should know my past..."

"Haha, this is the 1,659th time you have asked me this question since you joined the organization, but I still said the same thing... Are you sure you really need to know?"

Arucardo was silent for a long time, but this time he did not leave as usual, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the city in the distance, and said lightly:

"That city...has a vague sense of familiarity, but at the same time it has a sense of disgust..."

"Actually, your memories are buried in your own heart, but you don't want to reveal them... So when you really want to know the past, your memories will return, otherwise... Even if I tell you now, you will still forget everything tomorrow, just like you keep asking me..."

Arukado asked to shake his head gently, then slowly turned around and walked towards the shadows, but he had just walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, turned his body again, and asked lightly:

"Leader, why don't you ask each of us what is the [spiritual awareness]?"

"Haha... Everyone should keep some secrets that only they can know, and..."

Yue Yulou slowly turned around, then took out a gold coin and threw it into the air. Then, the moment the gold coin fell in front of him, he quickly held it in his palm and smiled at Arucardo:

“…Isn’t it more interesting to leave some suspense?”

After saying that, he waved his hand and threw the unknown gold coins on the front and back of his hand outside the city...

Here are some of the organizational forms of the Church of Light in this book. As the church of Light with the largest and most closely organized in the mainland, its organization also has a strong class nature. The top-down rule rank is: Pope, Cardinal, Patriarch, Archbishop, Bishop, Patriarch, Patriarch, Patriarch, Patriarch, Patriarch (also known as priests). There is no need to say much about the pope, taking charge of all the affairs of the church, and the cardinal is the second class that assists the pope in the church headquarters, which is a bit similar to the central officials in the national capital. It has great power, and there are about twelve cardinals, and there are also

Nearly a hundred cardinals who have no specific authority but are very prestigious (mainly composed of old monks or hermits), and together form the [Cardinal Order], because of decisions on specific matters and election of the new pope. The patriarch is a senior clerk in charge of national dioceses, the archbishop is an intermediate clerk in charge of provincial dioceses, and the bishop is a low-level clerk in charge of urban dioceses. The pastor is a grassroots member of the church, generally only responsible for churches in small towns or villages, and there are also tiring and dirty work such as preaching and preaching...

This is probably what it is like, and there are some special institutions that Hei Crow will give a detailed introduction later.
