The Whirling City is divided into two layers: inner and outer layers.

The inner city is the Howling Castle, the residence of the Count of Blue Mountain. It is built with thick granite, one end higher than the city wall, and has an arrow tower and a bunker. Once a war breaks out, you can immediately be fully armed to your teeth.

In the past Blue Blood Civil War, Whirling Castle set a record of guarding one hundred people, blocking the siege of 10,000 troops, and persisting for one year!

Outside the Whirling Castle is the residences of civilians and free people. The outer city of Whirling City is divided into four major areas. The eastern area is scholars, mercenary leaders, small merchants, and craftsmen... Most of the residences of these Whirling people are exquisite small villas, with one or two gardens.

The West and South Districts are the residences of the poor, and they are also the two most chaotic places in public security. Some black markets and slave businesses are also open here.

As for the North District, it is the church.

Wu Ming was wearing a white shirt, washed black trousers, with a cross sword hanging around his waist, and deer leather boots stepped on the pebbled ground, and a crisp sound came from him, slowly coming to the north area.

The church's architecture is magnificent, with a pointed top and a very Gothic style.

Dangdang!

At this moment, in the square, the sound of the bronze bell rang out, and a group of shabby clothes in ragged clothes in linen, most of the barefoot poor people gathered together, waiting with a look of desire.

Bang!

The door to the church opened, and a group of priests rushed out to maintain order.

"The Lord comes from chaos and brings light to the world!"

A bishop in red dress had gray hair and a merciful face, and began his daily missionary and charity.

Several strong men carried the pot out, which contained very thinly cooked oatmeal porridge. The nannies next to them were carrying baskets and lifting the white cloth, and after they could see pieces of black bread lying quietly there.

Many poor people swallowed their saliva and squeezed forward.

If they hadn't seen a row of strong priests and several armored knights of glory were there, they would have come forward to snatch them.

"Don't hurry! Come one by one!"

The Cardinal maintained order: "Women, elderly, and children are preferred!"

He took the spoon and gave each dirty wooden bowl a broken basin that was missing, and even scooped a spoonful of oatmeal porridge on his hand. The nanny next to him cooperated with a piece of black bread. The portion was not much, but it was enough to barely maintain the survival needs of the day.

"The Lord said, we should love the world, just as the world loves us..."

Seeing the Cardinal preaching tirelessly and leading everyone to pray, Wu Ming looked at the side politely, but his eyes were filled with confusion: "This church..."

In his eyes, the entire church was gray and there was almost no trace of inspiration.

Even in the Cardinal, he did not feel any extraordinary aura, as if he was an ordinary mortal old man.

The only thing that could attract his attention was the Glorious Knights.

These glorious knights, also known as church knights, are real knights who have been selected through the church system and passed through holy oil and rituals!

Of course, they had the strength of knights, but due to the restrictions of the church, no nobles were willing to enthrone them and grant fiefs and fiefs. Therefore, they had the strength of knights but no knights. The church claimed that they had given everything to the supreme Lord, which was the glory of the church, and gave them the name of "Knights of Glory".

But in Wu Ming's view, he was just a group of senior thugs trained.

"But one thing is the same. This kind of relief is so good every day... the church has a lot of financial resources..."

Wu Ming touched his chin and thought of more.

There are only three forces in the Fengying Plain who have mastered the secret of knight promotion. If the little nobles want to remain neutral and do not want their knights to be penetrated too deeply by the count and viscount, they have to seek help from the church.

For this, they have to pay a lot of money.

Not to mention, with the propaganda of the church, there are always a group of free people and even small nobles who want to find spiritual comfort from the scriptures. They choose to convert and baptism, and receive a large amount of donations every day, so they are naturally rich.

The Knights of Glory were brightly armored, and the Cross Swords were decorated with gems and gold, and they were extremely radiant, which made Takur compare at once.

After the crowd dispersed, Wu Ming came to the gate of the church.

"Strange brother, where did you come from?"

The Cardinal looked a little tired just now and was praying, but he immediately discovered Wu Ming.

"My name is William, and I'm from Nia Town!"

Wu Ming stared at the statue of the god in the church. It was a tall figure with extremely perfect muscle lines but no face.

From it, Wu Ming vaguely felt a little extraordinary power, but it was hazy and had a little sensation.

"Who do you believe in?"

The Cardinal's face was a little solemn, and he asked slowly.

"I believe in the spirit of nature!"

Wu Ming answered without blinking.

The belief system in this world is still relatively primitive. Many gods do not have specific names, and even primitive beliefs similar to ancestor worship and nature worship also exist.

Moreover, because the power of the church was suppressed by the nobles, it did not develop to the level of religious persecution, otherwise Wu Ming would not have said so carelessly that he was a pagan.

He asked again, "Why is the god not in appearance?"

"Because our Lord was born from chaos, He is the God of all, the Lord, and has transformed into thousands, and the Spirit of nature is also a carrier of His great power!"

A voice came from the side, answering Wu Ming's question.

"archbishop!"

The former cardinal immediately bowed his head respectfully.

Wu Ming looked at the man who was walking. He was dressed very simply, wearing only a linen robe, barefoots, and without any decoration. He looked no different from a poor old man on the roadside.

But in him, Wu Ming clearly felt the traces of extraordinary power: "Is a real priest?"

But after hearing the Archbishop's answer, he was speechless immediately.

With this kind of doctrine of the only God, the Supreme God, it is no wonder that the church is so unpopular and even boycotted by the nobles.

The nobles' feudalization is actually splitting power. They are the masters of their respective territories and can do everything they want in the territories.

But the only God in the church, the Supreme God theory, is a pure and naked unification in this world! Unless a king who is determined to unify the entire continent, no noble will blatantly support it.

"Praise my Lord, I see the return of another brother!"

The Archbishop smiled: "Same Church brother, are you here to find spiritual comfort, or something else?"

"In fact, I am an adventurer, and my confidence has reached its peak, but I have no way forward!"

Wu Ming said frankly.

"You want to be a knight?"

The Cardinal shook his head: "I'm very sorry, unless you have obtained the canonization of the nobles and paid 500 Jindelongs, or sworn to give up everything and join the church and become a Knight of Glory, we cannot help you as agreed!"

He said this very well and didn't know how many people said it.

"So that's it, I took the liberty to bother!"

Wu Ming bowed slightly: "I donate a Jin Delong to the church!"

He took out a gold coin and handed it to the Cardinal's hand, looking a little disappointed to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, the Archbishop suddenly spoke: "Dear child, the door of the church will always be open to you!"

"Thank you!"

Wu Ming was stunned, then saluted again and exited the church gate.

"archbishop?!"

The Cardinal looked at the old man in surprise.

The old man's expression seemed a little confused: "I saw a layer of mist of fate in him, as if he was carrying the revelation of my Lord..."

"My Lord?"

The Cardinal was excited and a little ashamed: "Did you get any oracle?"

"God loves the world, but will not easily interfere with the world. He will only give you tips in the details...feel it and listen to the whole world..."

The Archbishop rolled his eyes and said slowly.

...

"To obtain Holy Oil Research, do you have to join the church or the noble?"

Wu Ming walked out of the church and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If this is true, how did those wandering free knights come from?"

Although he had a contract to be followed, he did not believe that both the nobles and the church were so impeccable on the surface.

No matter how precise and perfect the rules are, they still need to be followed and maintained.

As long as there are people, flaws can appear.

"There must be clues about holy oil in the black market, even..."

Almost had no time to think about it, a thought emerged in Wu Ming's mind.

"Of course...before this, I would like to visit a few more scholars, and I need more knowledge!"

...

Three days later, in the East District, inside a villa.

"Dear Lulun scholar, I found the poor Mr. Is in a wolf's den following your route, sorry!"

Wu Ming put a blood-stained leather armor and a ring with a strange pattern on the table and said to an old man with a pale complexion.

"This is indeed Is' ring...oh! My poor little guy!"

The scholar Lulun looked at the ring and rubbed it on his chest, and the corners of his eyes suddenly showed a little crystal clear.

"No matter what, thank you! Brave adventurer!"

I don’t know how long it took, but the voice of the scholar Lulun came over: “You will get what you deserve!”

He stood up and placed a key and a small bag of Jin Delong in front of Wu Ming: "Seven Jin Delongs, and all the books in my study for seven days, are yours!"

"Let Jia tell you the rest!"

The scholar Lulun leaned on the recliner, obviously exhausted.

Wu Ming bowed and left, found the old housekeeper Jia, and came to Lulun's study.
Chapter completed!
