If the Saint wanted to ask the guardian wings for permission to search the soul of that sheriff, he would need to use up a lot of divine power. He didn't want to waste divine power on something that wasn't confirmed yet.
At that moment, the identity card on Mad Knight Cabel's waist began to vibrate. He glanced at the Saint hesitantly. If his identity card was vibrating at a time like this, it must be something urgent.
There was no way to hide anything from the Saint in the temple. He waved his hand and said, "Connect, Cabel!"
"Thank you, Sir Saint!" Mad Knight Cabel bowed.
He connected his power of the Will to the identity card, and soon, his expression turned sour.
"What happened?" The Saint couldn't help but frown when he saw his expression.
The Mad Knight Cabel bowed and said, "Sir Saint, there's a problem with another sheriff. He's also a Great Knight Captain. He killed 31 preachers in a row and killed himself after being discovered!"
"What?" The Saint stood up from his chair and exclaimed.
Preachers were the foundation of the Nation of God. Dozens of preachers would die every time, which was enough to shake the foundation of the Nation of God.
If it happened once or twice, it could be an accident, but a third time?
"Wait, I'll ask my master!" The Saint was no longer reluctant to use his divine power. This was a serious matter, and he had to find the reason.
His power of the Will was connected to the guardian wings in the sky of the Nation of God through the temple's guidance. While the demon from beyond was sleeping, the guardian wings handled all the affairs of the Nation of God.
The operation of the Nation of God's belief system was automatically carried out by the guardian wings. The Saint was only responsible for checking the Nation of God's affairs and applying for divine power from the guardian wings.
Since the Saint was a God's Sent One, he had extremely high authority and could use most of the guardian wings' resources.
In fact, the guardian wings were more like the spirits of the central continent. It was just that this spirit was a part of the demon from beyond's body and was more powerful.
The Saint inserted Sheriff Burnside's name into the guardian wings. The golden holy power in the guardian wings was slowly being consumed. The guardian wings were consuming holy power to search for Burnside's name from a sea of souls.
In the Nation of God, once a believer died, their soul would return to the Guardian Wings. In the Guardian Wings, the souls would only remember to pray, day and night.
Of course, in order to maintain these souls, the Guardian Wings had to expend some divine power to keep them alive.
Divine power was limited, and Guardian Wings had to spend a portion of its time. As time passed, the power of the soul would slowly dissipate. Prayers were no longer as effective as before.
If it was a Saint Knight's soul, it would be bestowed by God. If it was an ordinary soul, it would be completely extracted and turned into nourishment for the Guardian Wings.
Under normal circumstances, the souls of those who died within ten years would be preserved in the guardian wings. This was also the reason why the Saint wanted to inquire.
The Guardian Wings spent a large amount of divine power, but they could not find Burnside's soul. The Guardian Wings reported back to the Saint.
The Saint's face suddenly turned ugly. He knew that in the Nation of God, the soul of any citizen would return to the Guardian Wings when they died. Unless Burnside was a heretic.
Even if a Saint Knight died on the frontline, his soul would return to the Guardian Wings, let alone a death in the Nation of God.
In fact, Burnside didn't even know when he died. His faith was not given to the god he thought it was. Instead, it was taken by Abel, who stole the faith of the god. Therefore, even if he died, his soul could not return to his god.
Of course, Burnside's soul could not enter Abel's crystal angelic statue either. Unless he was still a preacher, or if there was another one of Abel's Blessed Ones, then Izual could take his soul back into the crystal angelic statue.
However, Burnside was a Blessed One. When he died, not only did his Blessed Ones end, but his preacher status was also revoked by Abel. Therefore, his soul dissipated into the air, just like most creatures in this world.
"Cabell, investigate the Nation of God immediately. There might be an evil god in the Nation of God!" He almost yelled at the top of his lungs.
Something like this happened in the Nation of God right before the demon from beyond woke up. He felt like he could not face his God. If his God woke up and found out that there was another God in the Nation of God, it would be a disaster for the Nation of God.
"Yes, Master Saint. I will investigate immediately!" Madman Knight Cabell slammed his fist on his chest and bowed.
The Saint Knight Division of the Nation of God began to clean up the 18 parishes. Even the slightest bit of suspicion would be investigated.
They found a lot of problems, such as corruption, dereliction of duty, and even some places where the preachers were not preachers. Instead, they were using their preachers to make money. However, they did not find anything about the evil god.
The Division of the Nation of God did not know. They were only investigating the normal believers. The real problem was the new preachers. But who would suspect the preachers?
As the days passed, more and more believers went crazy and killed a bunch of preachers. This caused the Nation of God to be in chaos, and all the preachers were in danger.
The Temple of the Nation of God had given the order that all the preachers had to turn on their defensive magic circles at all times.
The Temple of God had always believed that the main reason the preachers were killed was because the defensive magic circles of the preachers were not turned on.
This was not because the preachers were unwilling. It was because the preachers had to turn off the defensive magic circles in order to allow the believers to get close to the preachers. They would only turn them on when they were resting.
Abel had also noticed this. Not all the preachers would turn on their defensive magic circles, especially during special times when the defensive magic circles would not be turned on at all.
The Temple of God did not believe that anyone could break the defensive magic circles and kill the preachers without the whole town noticing.
They didn't expect a godly descender to appear in the Nation of God. How could a god be so bold?
The Nation of God was filled with holy power. Once EsGod entered, he would be discovered by the Guardian Wings and would be attacked automatically.
Who would have thought that Izual was the same race as the demon from beyond? Plus, the crystal angel statue had the same energy as the demon from beyond, so the Guardian Wings did not notice anything strange at all.
Abel had been very proud recently. He had already developed 100 preachers in the Nation of God, and 100 small towns had become his harvesting ground.
He had also noticed the chaos in the Nation of God. Through the faith channel of the believers, he knew that the Nation of God had no clue about his God's Descent. Therefore, he had been randomly choosing preachers to give him a "book of preachers" in the 18 districts and killing more preachers through God's Descent in exchange for more "books of preachers."
The more he did this, the more intense the scrutiny from the Nation of God became. Due to some extreme actions, the faith of the believers began to decline.
No one in the Central Continent knew that Abel had caused more damage to the Nation of God than the Wizard Union had done to the Nation of God in the past few hundred years.
December 15th was the elves' God's Day. Early in the morning, Steward Myer followed the elves' tradition and decorated the golden castle with countless flowers.
In this season, only the elves could make flowers bloom with a special method. Of course, the price of these flowers was not something normal people could afford.
When Abel woke up early in the morning, all he could see and smell were the most beautiful flowers.
He came to the dining hall and saw the 10 customers waiting there. He gently nodded and greeted them.
Of course, the 10 customers were not as casual as him. They all bowed respectfully.
By this point, he was already used to having customers coming to his place. Each of them would cost a light gem, and he was probably the only one in the entire Central Continent who could sell a meal at this price.
No matter how good the other restaurants were, they wouldn't dare to offer such a price.
Also, because of Abel's craze for light gems, the value of light gems on the Central Continent had been skyrocketing.
"Help yourselves!" Abel said with a smile and sat down at the main seat.
Of course, the servants brought him breakfast. As for the 10 customers, their breakfast time was fixed. It would take a while before it started.
Originally, Abel's behavior was very rude, but because of what happened with Wizard Larkin, Abel's status in the Central Continent had changed.
Among the 10 customers, 5 were elite class holders, and the other 5 were on the same level as Abel. They also felt that Abel's behavior was fine.
This was a change in his identity, but of course, it wasn't because of that.
No matter who it was, different customers would come for 3 meals a day. No one would be polite.
Of course, he didn't usually eat in the cafeteria. Today was Loraine's birthday. Due to his relationship with Loraine, he had to go to the Moon Goddess Temple and participate in the celebration there.
Therefore, he appeared in the dining hall. His breakfast was different from the other customers'. It was a twice-synthesized water spirit fruit juice, a piece of milk bread, and a plate of fruit salad.
The ten customers were all attracted by his breakfast. It was a twice-synthesized water spirit fruit juice. Just the unique aura of the water spirit fruit alone could clear the mind of those who smelled it.
They didn't need to ask to know that Master Bennett's water spirit fruit juice was completely different from the normal ones.
As for the milk bread, it was the specialty of the 2 chefs from the elven royal palace. However, the ingredients were very special. The milk used was the milk that Abel synthesized with the Hradik Cube.
Since Abel's status had increased, the golden castle had provided him with enough security. On top of that, all the servants in the golden castle had signed a magic contract, so he began to use the Hradik Cube to provide himself with a better life.
Before this, it was impossible. He had a big secret, and he was always nervous. He had to be careful if his secret was accidentally exposed.
But now, the special juice and milk synthesized with the Hradik Cube could all be attributed to him, the number one potion maker in the continent.
Even the plate of fruit salad was all some of the spirit fruits that the elite elves planted in Blood Moor in the Dark World. The water spirit fruit tree was no longer the only spirit fruit tree in Blood Moor.
With the spiritual plant seeds from the elven queen and some spiritual fruit trees from time to time, Blood Moor was filled with spiritual plant orchards. Not only were there fruit trees, but there were also some fruit-bearing plants that were planted there as well.
This allowed Abel to eat all kinds of spirit fruits, which greatly enriched his food.
Among the customers, there was an elite priest named Cartwright. He came with his teacher, Archpriest Ferguson.
Of course, it wasn't that Archpriest Ferguson had too many light gems, so he spent them here just to eat. It was just that an elite priest from the Crazy Heart Valley had successfully promoted here before.
Although it was only once, it was enough for the High Priests to bring their most important disciples to look for an opportunity.
While Abel was drinking his juice and putting a piece of milk bread into his mouth, Archpriest Ferguson heard a gulping sound.
Everyone here was powerful, so of course, they knew who was gulping. Archpriest Ferguson stared at his disciple, Cartwright.
However, he realized that Cartwright was staring at the milk bread. He didn't notice him at all.
Just when he was about to scold Cartwright, he was shocked to see a leveling up qi rising from Cartwright's body.
Elite Priest Cartwright leveled up as soon as he smelled the water spirit fruit juice and the milk bread.
Of course, Abel's food was all super food that had been synthesized twice. Only the water spirit fruit juice was good for elven Druil training, so he only gave it to his 3 followers. He didn't give the rest to anyone else.
Priest Ferguson, on the other hand, was overjoyed. Even though he had spent two light gems to have a meal, he didn't get to eat anything. As long as his disciple was promoted, it was all worth it.
He threw a circle board in front of elite priest Cartwright and activated it with a skull gem. Suddenly, he heard 4 gulping sounds.
