Chapter 38 Are you doubting the church?
Under the wide black hood, Isa's eyes moved as she stared at the tall figure wearing a red robe.

The broad and gorgeous red robe is engraved with dense purple and gold mysterious lines.

That is the Archbishop of the Church.

In a sense, the archbishop can be regarded as the person with the highest status in the church - in Isa's memory, the pope resides in the North Cathedral all year round. Under normal circumstances, only the archbishop can enter and exit that mysterious church.

Even if you put aside the crimson robe that symbolizes identity and status, the archbishop is the most conspicuous presence in the church.

His tall stature far exceeds that of ordinary people, symbolizing that he has received the greatest gift from the goddess.

Looking at the entire church, this is also a unique gift.

Isa looked up at the crimson figure, her eyes shining with envy and reverence.

Under Isa's gaze, amid a mechanical hum, the Archbishop walked in front of the clergy with extremely steady steps.

"Everyone."

"The goddess has sent down an oracle."

A stiff electronic synthesized sound came from under the crimson robe and echoed in the empty side hall: "In three days, the Lord will take action to adjust the movement of the sun and the moon."

"The Varela calendar will also open a new chapter."

"Respecting the will of the Pope, the church will hold a ceremony to welcome the coming of the Lord at the place where God descended."

Under Isa's gaze, the archbishop slowly opened his arms, and the stiff electronic synthesized voice became louder and louder: "All deacons and priests, from now on, announce the ceremony of divine descent to the believers in the city..."

……

"The place where the gods descended?!"

"The goddess has arrived?!!"

Looking at Gao Yuan in front of him, Chen Fan felt half of his body numb: "You kid are not lying to me, are you?"

Gao Yuan did not speak, but turned his head and pursed his lips toward the main church not far behind him.

Chen Fan followed Gaoyuan's gaze.

I saw deacons and priests wearing white and black robes filing out of the metal arched door of the main church.

After a short stay, these clergymen dispersed around.

"Preparations for the God's Descendance Ceremony have begun."

“The deacons and priests were required to inform the entire city of the news within three days.”

At this moment, Chen Fan's luck was completely shattered.

good news.

He has roughly understood the Divine Selection Ceremony and the truth that the church is trying to hide. According to the original plan, he needs to find Xu Huai, obtain more information, and try his best to find a way to escape before the Divine Selection Ceremony.

bad news.

No need to wait for the divine selection ceremony.

The goddess is about to "come down" to find him in person!
Thinking that the other party might be an alien from another planet, Chen Fan automatically thought of a lot of thriller movie scenes about the third kind of contact.

What tentacles, mucus, what mysterious human experiments...

You are right, the ability of the brains of intelligent creatures to supplement details is simply too strong.

Just thinking about it for a moment, Chen Fan felt that his sanity was dropping.

【Calm down. 】

Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [I think this is a good opportunity. 】

[If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. At least you can take this opportunity to find out the true identity of the goddess. 】

Chen Fan couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes.

It really hurts my back to stand and talk!

Chen Fan took a deep breath, calmed down his inner anxiety, and quickly made adjustments to his original plan.

Gotta speed it up!
You can't just wait stupidly for the so-called goddess to come, right?
What if some goddess takes a fancy to him and wants to take him to the Kingdom of God in advance to enjoy her blessings?

"Let's not talk about the divine descending ceremony for now."

Chen Fan looked around.

After discovering that several priests in black robes were walking towards their direction, he grabbed Gao Yuan beside him and quickened his pace towards the direction away from the main church: "When I was in the library, I wanted to ask You've got one thing."

"what?"

"The entire church library only has history books after 1800 in the Old Calendar. Not only that, the history books in the library only record information related to Varela City." Chen Fan looked solemn, "What about the previous history? Except for Varela Lacheng, aren’t there other regions in this world?” “Don’t you think it’s a little strange?”

"strangeness?"

Gao Yuan glanced at Chen Fan in surprise, "What's so strange about this? The Archbishop has long said that the disaster in the first year of Varela destroyed all the previous classics."

Chen Fan sighed helplessly.

The aroma in the library is really unpleasant.

Gao Yuan could not detect such an obvious logical loophole!

"The classics have been destroyed, what about the people?"

"It can't be that all the insiders were killed by the disaster in Varela's first year, right?"

"Why didn't they leave any writing describing what happened before Varela's first year?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly fell into silence.

He frowned and began to think about this problem that he had never realized before.

For some reason, Gao Yuan always felt like there was a thick fog in his mind.

This fog blocked his thinking process and brought him deeper confusion.

"I...I don't know."

After thinking for a long time, Gao Yuan raised his hand and scratched his scalp vigorously, frowned and asked bluntly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Don't you think the church is deliberately hiding something?"

Gao Yuan swallowed and looked at Chen Fan with a strange and somewhat frightened look:
"Chen Fan, you..."

"Are you doubting the church?"

Doubtful about the church?
No, no, no, he doubted more than just the church!

Considering Gao Yuan's ability to accept and for his own safety, Chen Fan did not express his true thoughts.

He nodded and followed Gao Yuan's intention and said, "Yes, don't you think there is something wrong with the church doing this?"

At this time, Gao Yuan was already in disarray.

If the words questioning the church were spoken by an ordinary believer, Gao Yuan would not hesitate to regard the believer as a heretic and notify the church to burn the heretic who had been violated by evil spirits alive!

But Chen Fan is no ordinary believer.

He is a Chosen One!
A chosen one with a high position in the church! !

What is this called?
Why did His Majesty rebel?

"I, I don't know."

Gao Yuan subconsciously took half a step back, shaking his head repeatedly with eyes blankly:

"Stop talking, I don't want to know either."

Seeing Gao Yuan's attitude as if facing a formidable enemy, Chen Fan helplessly raised his hand and touched his nose: "Okay, I have one last question."

"go ahead."

Gao Yuan took a few deep breaths and his face returned to calm, but it could be seen from his eyes that his mood was still very complicated at this time.

"Outside Varela..."

"What's the situation now?"

Gao Yuan's expression, which had just regained his composure, suddenly changed.

"Shh!"

"You're crazy!!"

"How dare you ask this question?!"

He quickly looked around to make sure there was no one around, then Gao Yuan took a few steps back again, widening the distance between him and Chen Fan.

"Chen Fan, I just pretend I haven't heard these words. Don't tell anyone else!"

"otherwise……"

Gao Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned ugly again: "Remember, don't say these words again!"
