There is no doubt that the arrival of the Holy Light Church mission has injected a trace of vitality into this originally declining city.

Especially those clever and sensitive clergymen, immediately recalled the bishops' abnormal behaviors and actions in recent times, and also realized that this might be an opportunity for them.

After all, if the two churches really merge, the saints will inevitably get rid of the previous state of lying equal death.

Maybe it will even rise again by its special geographical location in the center.

The only question is, how much benefits and benefits can the half-dead church win in negotiations?

Of course, if there is approval, there will naturally be opposition.

Some radical guys always think that the Holy Ones have become the current ghostly appearance, all because of the fault of the Holy Light Church.

They began to collude with officers and soldiers in private, intending to have an "uprising" to directly assassinate Artoria and his entourage, and kill all the surrendered bishops at the top.

As the sun slowly sets down from the horizon, the night falls again, and the entire Santo Rabonna becomes undercurrent.

In addition to those demons hidden among the ruins and ordinary people, the awakened ones...

This originally dead city suddenly became extremely lively.

Even people like Claya who don’t care much about external changes feel a strange atmosphere.

However, as the great sword that came to kill the demon, she did not forget her tasks and responsibilities, and soon left the hotel to try to contact the church client in order to obtain first-hand information.

As for Raki and Allen, they were left in the hotel room.

The reason why Laki stayed is because he has no combat power now, and it is purely a burden to keep it by his side.

And Alan was purely because Claya thought he was both annoying and hateful, and she didn't want to have such a guy around who would make things difficult for him at any time.

But what Claiya never expected was that just now she left, Alan took Laki away from the hotel and came to a place specializing in the special service industry a few streets away.

Looking at the "big sisters" at the door who were exposed and looked as if they were about to eat themselves alive, Laki became extremely nervous in an instant and begged in a low voice: "Mr. Allen, I think we should go back. Otherwise, if Claya knows..."

"What are you afraid of? Have she ever said that we are not allowed to come to such places? What's more, she is not your relative or elder, so what qualifications are there to teach you a lesson?" Allen asked indifferently.

"But...but..."

Laki stammered for a long time, but finally gave up the argument and followed behind with his head hanging down.

Obviously, although he knew that all the things Alan said were problematic, he didn't know how to refute them.

"Nothing but! Don't forget, you are a man. Men have to say the same thing. Say what you want and desire, and then get it in the way you think it is right. Being awkward and squeaky like a shy little girl will only make people feel hypocritical and weak." Allen patted the boy's shoulder hard and scolded him.

After several days of getting along, he finally knew why the "male protagonist" Raki in the Great Sword is always nicknamed "trash" and has always been quite unpopular.

The reason is very simple!

This guy's personality is so weak that he wants to please everyone around him all the time, and it can even be said that he lacks the most basic dignity as a person.

It's like the famous saying "Listening a dog will not die well."

If a person takes the initiative to give up his dignity as a human being, how can others respect you?

In contrast, the popularity of "North Horse" Isli is much higher.

Because he always knows what he wants, has a clear bottom line, and will never please anyone for no reason.

Unfortunately, because Laki is too young, he cannot understand this very well.

Finally, after standing at the door and struggling for a while, the boy gritted his teeth and followed Alan, surrounded by a group of young women in exposed clothes and walked into the second floor.

In just a few minutes, poor Laki was teased by these "big sisters" and blushed, and he could only lower his head and tighten his legs.

Until he walked into the private room and found a seat by the window, he could barely get some breath, curled up in the corner alone, posing as he was guarding his mind.

And this reaction just proves the speculation of this group of experienced women.

One of the tall young women with bulging front and tilted back laughed and joked, "What a cute little brother. Why don't you let my sister teach you how to go from a boy to a man tonight?"

"Hahahaha! I think it's good. Tonight, no matter who you can turn him from a boy to a man, the money will be the one who will." As he said that, Allen took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket and threw it directly on the table.

Hurry!

Accompanied by the crisp sound, the tucked mouth of the leather pocket opened instantly, revealing the golden color inside.

moment!

The woman who was exposed in the audience breathed rapidly, and her eyes were even staring at the round coins emitting golden light under the refraction of the oil lamp.

But just one second later, they collectively turned their heads and turned their eyes to Raki, as if they instantly turned into hungry wolves and wanted to swallow this fat piece of meat.

Laki, who had never even held a girl's hand, had never seen such a scene. He was so scared that he curled up in the corner and didn't dare to move.

I tried to use my eyes to ask for help several times, but I was ignored in a gorgeous way.

After a brief silence for more than ten seconds, these women rushed forward in a swarm and blocked the boy in the corner.

Not long after, his clothes, pants, shoes, and socks were torn apart by these crazy women, and he couldn't help but shout in despair: "Mr. Allen! Save me! Come and save me!"

But Allen looked at this scene with interest and comforted casually: "Don't worry, you won't be in danger of life. They just want to teach you how to be a man. This is a process that every boy must go through, and the process is far less terrible than you think. On the contrary, it is very pleasant. After tonight, you can control the sword of desire."

"No!!!!!!"

With a scream of hoarseness, Raki was finally forced to drag onto the bed.

Although he struggled desperately to escape, how could a young man with no power to tie a chicken be the opponent of a group of women like wolves and tigers?

Looking at the shy, scared, and even a little expectant reaction on Raki's face, Allen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, turned around and jumped out of the window, and walked through the streets and alleys at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, he passed the layers of blockades by the guards and successfully entered the house, which was only one street from the cathedral.

Artoria, who had been waiting for a long time, put down the book in her hand and raised her head to question: "Why did you come?"

"Sorry, something interesting happened, so I stopped and watched for a while." Allen explained with a smile.

"Interesting thing?"

Artoria obviously noticed the flash of jokes and immediately realized that someone must be unlucky.

Because Alan only shows such an expression when the evil realm occurs.

"Okay, don't pay attention to these trivialities. Tell me, how did you develop in the Holy Light Church in the South?" Allen decided to change the topic.

He didn't want too many people to know about taking Laki to the special service industry.

"Not bad! According to your plan, I have integrated all the towns and villages in the south through the Church of the Holy Light to form a huge interest alliance. Almost all the rulers are now believers of the Holy Light. But I don't quite understand, don't you hate religion the most? Why do you still want me to establish the Church of the Holy Light to control the southern region?" Artoria asked a question that had troubled her for ten years.

Alan touched his chin and explained meaningfully: "No! You misunderstood. What I hate is not religion itself, but interest groups that use religion to enslave the people, make money, and seize power. What's more, do you think the Holy Light is really a religion? Compared to religion, I think it is closer to the category of philosophy. Because the Holy Light does not have specific individual worship, it simply emphasizes the need for unswerving will and determination. The most important thing is that it can give people real power and sublimate the spirit."

"So... you established a material-based regime in the West, and let me establish a spiritual-led regime in the South, and I wanted two ideas to collide and compete with each other?"

Artoria is worthy of being a king, and she immediately understood the real meaning behind this operation.

Just as human society on earth requires different ideas and ideologies to collide and compete to achieve development, the social structure of this world cannot be too single.

Otherwise, the error tolerance rate is too low, and once a mistake is made in the future, the entire human society will be doomed in an instant.

Allen nodded gently: "That's right! Only with competition can there be progress, and only with collision can there be development. Take modernization, which has been taken for granted in modern society on earth, as an example. Do you know why the higher the modernization of a country, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor within it?"

"Why?" Artoria subconsciously frowned.

Because when she was in the Marvel Universe, she was completely attracted by the advanced technology and the massive products provided on the market, and she really didn't notice this.

"Because it is necessary to pay very high maintenance costs, including military, administrative, judicial, public transportation, medical care, pension and other financial expenditures. Guess, who will bear the heavy cost in the end? Are those strong financial consortiums, banks, monopoly giants in various industries and countless billionaires? No! They are borne by those vulnerable groups with very limited income, that is, the civilian class. Therefore, the system and experience of modern society are not as beautiful as it seems, and it is not necessarily the only correct path."

Allen made no concealment and made his thoughts straightforward.

As a traveler who keeps traveling through various worlds, he has long broken out of the shackles of his original thinking and began to stand at a higher dimension to observe the pros and cons of different worlds, different eras, and different social structures.

Take the gap between the rich and the poor as an example. The gap between the rich and the poor caused by industrialization and modernization is far more terrifying than any one in the history of the earth.

So is it true that modernization and urbanization initiated by Western capital to capitalize and value everything?

If it were the past, Allen would have given a positive answer without hesitation.

But now, he began to have a different view, or a bigger picture.

Artoria showed a thoughtful expression on her face: "I understand! You are worried that after the counterattack on the continent, once those two countries are destroyed, the regime established in the West will be complacent and then embark on a path of no return to destruction. For this reason, you intend to retain diversity for this world."

"Yes! Over the years, the Western and Southern regions have always maintained smooth trade, so many people in private have accepted the Holy Light as their spiritual belief and sustenance. Even if the entire Southern region is incorporated, this belief will not disappear. On the contrary, it will fill the spiritual emptiness caused by material abundance and eventually become the only legal sect in the entire country. Of course, before this, you still need to play your own role."

While saying this, Allen turned his eyes to the street not far away.

With his vision comparable to an astronomical telescope, he could clearly see that Claya was fighting an awakened person with all his strength.

Due to the evenly matched, the two had been fighting for several minutes, but neither of them could gain any advantage.

As for the few cannon fodder-like demons next to them, they had already been dismantled.

The dazzling plasma dyed the ground red directly.

Fortunately it's night, otherwise I would have heard harsh screams one after another.

Artoria undoubtedly noticed this and asked in a not very sure tone: "Don't you go and help?"

"No! There is no need for this. If Claya can't even deal with an awakened person of this level, it would be too disappointing. After all, I gave her a seed of life energy, and it's almost time to take root and sprout."

Just as Allen was talking, Claya in the distance suddenly couldn't dodge and was instantly pierced by her opponent's sharp claws, and she knocked down a wall with a bang.

Just as it was trying to go up and finish the fight, a terrifying aura that was indescribable in words gushed out from the broken wall, crushing all the slightly collapsed buildings around it into dust.

boom!!!!!!

Immediately afterwards, a spike that was mutated by hands or feet was pierced through the awakened calves with a thunderous speed and cut off the position below the knee.
