What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 32 This is divine punishment
  "Isn't Alice's child back yet?"

After sending away the soldier who came to deliver the message, Calvin walked to the back of the church and asked a random clergyman who was preparing to carry supplies.

"Your Majesty Bishop, it seems that Alice has not come back. She should still be at the military camp, right?"

"...It seems that the princess doesn't completely trust us, or...that she secretly supports us, maybe she doesn't know about it either."

From Calvin's point of view, the reason why Alice was left behind was probably because he wanted to show an attitude.

That is, cooperation is possible, but the church should not try to use this time to stab someone in the back, at least not at this time.

If their church dared to rebel at this time, then Nalia would not only dare to take the life of a little nun, but also dare to directly cleanse Anka's church.

Although Calvin is not entirely sure whether the princess over there thinks so, he himself has never thought of doing such an irrational thing.

Furthermore, even if there is a rebellion, it must be against Count Luther, and it must be based on the fact that the other party has aroused public anger. It is impossible to resist taking action at this time.

"We don't need so many people to take care of the refugees. Didn't our church recruit many new members during this period? There seem to be some ordinary people who have no previous clergy experience and are simply willing to help us because they are desperate, right?"

"Yes, Lord Bishop, you mean..."

"Just let them do the work. Now there is news from Siris. I'm afraid this lizard invasion is not as simple as it seems.

In other words... the situation is even more troublesome than it seems now. "

Calvin and the priest who was talking to him at the moment may not have noticed that the heavy rain that had been falling outside the corridor seemed to have become more than a little lighter at the moment.

And based on this momentum, it seems that this sudden heavy rain will stop soon.

"What His Highness Siris means is that the lizardmen's attack this time was premeditated. They are not as brainless as they seem. After all, they still know some simple strategies."

Although the messenger did not go into such detail, Bishop Calvin would unconsciously add a little more drama to the man he regarded as his "savior" when he was "translating".

"So we focus on going to a few points that may be invaded by the Lizardmen. For example, isn't there a moat in the West City that runs from the outside of the city to the inside of the city? We have to focus on this place."

"Okay Bishop."

"Then the civilians over there should move as soon as possible. The lizardmen should not be so quick to sneak into the city by water, but you can't be too lazy. After all, this rain..."

Just when Calvin was talking about the rain outside, he suddenly found that the sound of rain seemed to have disappeared?
  When he turned around and looked at the side of the corridor facing the courtyard, he was stunned.

In the courtyard behind the Anka Cathedral, the pouring rain suddenly stopped, as if God had pressed the pause button.

The courtyard that was still ravaged by rain just now has become extremely quiet, leaving only the fresh air after the rain and some overflowing puddles on the ground. The small water droplets formed by rainwater on the leaves shine with crystal luster in the weak sunlight.

Fortunately, the sewer system here has not been paralyzed, otherwise this situation would not happen even if the rain stopped. But the problem is...the heavy rain comes at a moment's notice and leaves at a moment's notice? !
  Don't you give me any warning?
  But just when Calvin wanted to say something, the weather outside didn't seem to stop at being sunny, but went to the other extreme.

Originally, as the rain stopped, the sun in the sky broke through the dark clouds and became bright again, but at this moment, the sun's rays seemed to become particularly dazzling, and the brilliance increased sharply in a short period of time, making the entire courtyard seem to be intensely illuminated. shrouded in sunlight.

The huge sun seemed to be expanding in the sky, becoming extremely huge. The heat it radiated made Calvin and others who were already wearing thick clothes due to the heavy rain feel sweating all over their bodies.

They even had a feeling that if they continued to stay in the sun, they would definitely be burned to death.

Those with sharp eyes have discovered that some plants in the courtyard have begun to be unable to withstand the intense heat and are beginning to show signs of wilting, as if these weeds were cooked on the stove.

"Your Majesty Bishop? What's the weather like?"

"...It's the God of Light, and the God of Light is angry."

Calvin felt a strong sense of unease and fear. He looked up at the growing sun, feeling like the end of the world was coming to his heart.

He involuntarily stepped back, seeking shade to avoid the relentless heat. The courtyard, and even the whole world, seemed to be vulnerable to this sudden disaster. The bishop's heart was filled with fear of the unknown.

Fortunately, he had not completely lost his mind. He decisively ordered his men to go back to the church, and then found some white or light-colored large curtains to cover the inside of the stained glass, hoping to use this method to block the sunlight from outside. Reflected out.

Although in the eyes of Bishop Calvin, these measures may only have a drop in the bucket.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such a situation where the God of Light was angry. In other words, in the years he had been alive, he had only heard of such a thing happening from the mouths of his elders.

But the question is...why does such a vision appear at this time?

According to records, such divine punishment will occur only when something extremely contrary to God's will occurs, that is, a major event that affects the fate of all mankind due to personal selfishness.

Because this means that human beings have reached the extreme level of arrogance, and the gods cannot stand it any longer, so they choose to let the wanton human beings taste the price of their misbehavior.

But when did such a thing happen? Where did it happen? How come he doesn't know anything about it?

But soon, Bishop Calvin understood what this so-called treasonous thing was.

"Your Majesty, please go to the prayer room quickly. It seems that His Highness Siris has been sent here. The steward of the New Delhi Manor told me that he may have been poisoned and his life is now hanging by a thread."

"what?!"

How could someone treat their benefactor like this? How to deal with the Holy Son who allowed the image of the Church of Light and the God of Light to spread among the world again?
  This is simply too much!
  No wonder the God of Light is angry, it doesn’t seem strange at all, right?

However, if Sirius was still awake at this moment and heard the inner thoughts of this unreliable bishop, he would probably complain mercilessly:
  Are all the people in your church such lickers? Or...can 50 really change your beliefs?
