In the northeast of Maple Leaf City, this was the wealthy district of the entire city, where a large number of nobles and wealthy merchants lived.
Unlike the civilian district, which was completely dark at night, the wealthy district in the northeast was faintly illuminated.
It was an expensive and gorgeous magic lamp.
Although this kind of magic lamp could provide continuous and stable illumination at night, it had to be maintained regularly. Therefore, only those nobles who could afford mages and wealthy merchants could afford to use it.
And there were only a few such people in the entire Maple Leaf City.
Among them, the Eternal Church was included.
As the official church of the Holy Mania Empire, the Eternal Church's residence was naturally in the wealthy district.
It was a magnificent and heavy cathedral.
The cathedral of the Eternal Church was located in the southernmost part of the wealthy district.
It was close to the border's White Maple Castle, which was also the junction between the wealthy district and the civilian district.
The cathedral was in the ancient Mania style, with a typical Mania arched structure. The outside was a pediment engraved with relief carvings and a slope made of boulders, and the upper end was a majestic round arch structure.
From a distance, its shape looked like a castle, giving people a solid, heavy, honest, and unbreakable image. It was said to symbolize the supreme authority of the Lord of Eternity.
The sun symbol at the top of the cathedral symbolized the glory of the Lord of Eternity. It was the exclusive symbol of the God of Gods, Iteo.
Like the White Maple Castle next door, in the dark Maple Leaf City, the Eternal Church was also a faint light.
This light was emitted by the magic lamp in the Eternal Church.
However, unlike the magic lamps in other places, the source of power of the magic lamp of the Eternal Church was the statue worshiped in the church.
The name of the magic lamp might not be accurate. The priests and nuns were more willing to call it the Holy Light.
The Holy Light was immortal, and the light was eternal.
This symbolized the power of the Lord of Eternity, and also the faith of the believers.
Of course, although the church was still bright, the priests and nuns had already rested.
Except for one person.
The bishop of the Maple Leaf City branch of the Eternal Church – Comanche Glamorgan.
Comanche was a grade 3 priest (Black Iron upper rank), and he was 65 years old this year.
Logically speaking, the bishop position in the Eternal Church could only be held by a silver priest above grade 4.
As the main city of the border territory, the bishop of Maple Leaf City should be at least a Tier 6 Silver-ranked Priest.
However, since a few years ago, Earl Borderlands had strengthened his control over the territory and diluted the influence of the Church of Eternity. Priests above Silver were gradually pushed out by him.
Naturally, there were people in the Eternal Church who were dissatisfied with this.
However, in recent years, hidden dangers had been rising in various parts of the Empire. All kinds of evil gods and heretics were emerging one after another. The upper echelons of the Eternal Church turned a blind eye to the little tricks of Maple Leaf City.
Especially this year, news of the Evil God's revival had spread all over the Empire, and it was said that some had even alarmed the True Gods in the sky …
In this kind of situation, Border Earl's thoughts were even less important.
However … none of this had anything to do with Comanche Glamorgan.
As a bishop, he knew some of the secrets of Maple Leaf City.
He even knew that there was a so-called God of Despair secretly preaching in Maple Leaf City!
But … what did that have to do with him?
As a bishop who had been pushed aside, Comanche had long been defeated by Border Earl's monetary attack.
To him, who was already 65 years old and didn't have many years left to live, the authority of a True God wasn't as practical as a few more gold pounds …
As long as Maple Leaf City was safe and sound, as long as the citizens of Maple Leaf City were still led by the Church of Eternity, then he would turn a blind eye.
Of course, his own weakness was also one of the reasons.
At this moment, Comanche Glamorgan was hiding in a corner of the church. Borrowing the light of the Holy Light, he was happily counting the gold pounds that Border Earl had given him.
"Almost five hundred pounds. Once I have five hundred pounds, I'll apply for retirement from the Church and leave this damned place to live my own life!"
However, just as Comanche finished counting his assets and was about to return to his dormitory to sleep … Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the church's windows.
"What's that sound?"
For a moment, Comanche was on guard.
He put away his assets and was about to go to the window to take a look when he suddenly saw a black shadow flash by.
Then, under Comanche's shocked gaze, the entire window was smashed from the outside.
"Who is it? To actually destroy the Church of Eternity in the middle of the night! "
Comanche was both shocked and enraged, but he subconsciously took a step back to hide …
The waters of Maple Leaf City ran deep.
When faced with such a situation, he was just a rank 3 priest. Although he was a bishop, he really didn't have the guts to act rashly.
Then, Comanche saw a few sneaky figures barge in through the window.
They were all figures wearing black hoods, and he couldn't see their faces clearly.
However, they emitted an aura that made Comanche feel disgusted and fearful …
Evil, despair, chaos …
That was the aura unique to the followers of the Evil God!
These were followers of the Evil God!
And … their strength wasn't any weaker than his!
He saw the followers of the Evil God climb into the church, then walk straight to the statue in the middle of the church that was illuminated by the Holy Spirit.
That was the statue of the Eternal Lord, Eternity Eternity.
Seeing the direction they were heading, Comanche's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The Eternal Lord above! What were these followers doing?
In the World of Segers, the statues worshipped by churches weren't just simple statues.
Not only were they responsible for receiving the power of faith from believers, storing it, and feeding it back to the True God in the heavens through the network of faith with the True God, they were also the eyes of the True God in the mortal world.
If the True God was willing, he could borrow the power of the statue at any time to temporarily descend his power.
Even Comanche didn't dare to count his wealth under the statue of the True God. Instead, he hid in a corner to do so.
These followers … what were they doing?
Soon, Comanche found out.
These people came to the front of the statue and stopped.
Then, Comanche heard their arrogant and disrespectful words.
"This is the statue of the Eternal Church."
"Tch, it's a man?"
"Stop looking, get to work, get to work!"
What were they doing?
Comanche instantly became alert.
Then, he saw a light flash in the hands of the leader, and a large bucket appeared.
A spatial tool?
Comanche was very surprised.
However, with the appearance of the large bucket, he suddenly smelled a nauseating smell …
It smelled disgusting.
It was the smell of excrement.
What … were they doing?!
In an instant, Comanche's expression was horrified.
Then, the leader chuckled, picked up the large bucket, and splashed the filth on the majestic and sacred statue of the Eternal God.
Blasphemy! They were blaspheming the statue of the True God!
Comanche was terrified.
However, these people weren't done yet.
After splashing the filth, they didn't stop. Instead, they took off their pants and urinated in front of the Eternal God.
As they urinated, they shouted excitedly.
"Praise Despair, praise the Lord! Praise the great God of Despair! "
"What bullsh * t Eternal God, eat sh * t!"
"Come, come, your Grandpa Despair will give you some good food and drink!"
Comanche, who was hiding in the darkness, almost fainted when he heard the taunts and insults thrown at him.
How dare they do this?
How dare they do this?!
Blasphemy!
This was blasphemy!
They were going to incur the wrath of the True God!
The Eternal God above! 'Are these cult members crazy?!'
Comanche's expression was horrified. He was so scared that his legs turned to jelly.
However, the followers didn't stop.
The person in the lead seemed to be dissatisfied.
He looked around and took out a broom from the side of the temple.
Then, his body flashed with the light of a skill. With a loud shout, he knocked the filthy statue of the Eternal God to the ground …
With a bang, the statue hit the ground, and one of its arms was broken into two.
At the same time, the person who knocked down the statue shouted fanatically.
"Long live the God of Despair!"
After shouting, he and the others committed suicide on the spot …
The corpses slowly disappeared, leaving only a few black worms on the spot.
And after they committed suicide …
A heart-palpitating force suddenly descended on the scene!
