On the scenic coast of Gasili, a man in a white robe looked at the horizon where the sea and sky were connected in the distance and sighed softly.

His name is Douglas, and he is an intermediate pastor in Oxford.

This sea-line town is one of the important towns in the Kingdom of Carl. It is famous for its specialty, which is extremely tough and airtight canvas. The sails made of this canvas are not only light and easy to lift and lower, but also have a very high utilization rate of wind. Even many high-end flying boats will use the auxiliary sails made from it to save flight consumption.

Today, when the flying boat industry is becoming more and more popular, Oxford canvas is sold all over the country. Among the many small towns registered in the Kingdom, Oxford's wealth can rank among the top ten!

It’s a pity that since the moonlit night, this place has become particularly unlucky. Since it is a small seaside town, residents are facing the threat of flooding trolls on land, and often encountering harassment from sea tribes in the Kasili Sea, making it very difficult to survive...

There is a church of light in the town, which was originally the place where people most often seek relief when they encounter difficulties.

Douglas is a member of the Pastoral Branch of the Adventurers Guild, but his other identity is more important, that is, the bishop of the only church in the town! He shoulders the sacred duty of spreading the glory of the goddess... But because of this, Douglas is not in a good mood recently.

He found that people seem to be praying lately...

Here we will mention the difference between the Holy See of Light and the Pastoral Separation Hall.

Although both are often gathering places for pastors and to some extent they are the base camps of pastors, their status is actually very different.

The Priest's Branch Hall is a profession sub-house under the Adventurers Guild. Like the Warrior's Branch Hall, the Archer's Branch Hall, and the Magician's Branch Hall, it only represents the profession of "Pastor of Light" among the four major professions of adventurers! The priests engrave skills here, exchange experiences, and find teammates to take risks together, etc.

The positioning of the Church of Light is much more transcendent, claiming to represent the goddess of light! Churches of all sizes across the country are the inheritance of the Church of Light. Pastors interpret God’s doctrine in churches and preach God’s glory. Of course, they also happily accept the prayers and donations from believers from all over the world.

The Holy See and the Royal Family of Carl are now tied with the two pillars supporting the entire Carl Kingdom. This statement is enough to illustrate the transcendent status and strong foundation of the Holy See and the Holy See!

Among the many sub-wisdom races that depend on the Kingdom of Carl, there is a saying that is circulating: Ten Carls and nine sons of light.

It fully demonstrates how many believers in the Holy See! The Holy See does not need to absorb fresh blood through the priest's branch hall. Every year, children with good qualifications need to be selected from believers and sent to the "Sun Church" or "Moon Church" since childhood to awaken and cultivate, which has already made the total number of priests far exceed the other three professions. Perhaps only the warriors who count all mercenaries can barely compete with them in terms of number of people!

In addition to the "Pastor of Light" on the whole continent, the Vatican of Light has also collected a large number of other professional strong men who devoutly believe in the goddess of Light and formed the "Judgement"! In other words, many of the strong men from the other three major sub-districts have also been devoted to the embrace of the Vatican of Light and become its power.

Such a huge thing... But to be honest, the Holy See of Light actually evolved from the Pastoral Hall.

As early as three hundred years ago, when the four legends started the Adventurer Guild, the Pastor's Branch Hall was the base camp for pastors on the continent! However, because the priest's "holy power" is the power closest to the Goddess of Light among the four professions, the powerful priest even mastered the "Great Prophecy" and had the ability to guide humans forward. Even the Royal Cabinet Parliament has a long-term fixed place for the "Chief Priest", so the status of the priest has been constantly improving in the next three hundred years.

So much so that later, it clearly surpassed the other three major professions that were originally equal, and the pastors finally decided to go independently from the Adventurers Guild and established the Holy See of Light!

To this day, the churches of the Holy See of Light have been distributed in every city and important village in the Kingdom of Carl. Churches of all sizes have become the real base camps of pastors. Most of the pastors' sub-houses of the Adventurers Guild have become empty shells. Only a few pastors who respect the tradition of adventure in the four professions are still staying behind, providing adventurers with some basic inscribed skills, injuries and other services.

If the Pastoral Division is aimed at adventurers, then the church is aimed at everyone.

Ordinary people can sing hymns in churches, listen to preaching, worship, and make good donations... And you should know that the Pastor of Light is not a vase that only speaks, but a existence with holy power. Even the lowest-level priest skill [Blessing Technique] can make people feel relaxed physically and mentally. A powerful priest can provide more advanced paid services, such as healing chronic diseases, dispersing monsters, building statues of light and prophecies...

Over time, the Holy See of Light has accumulated a huge reputation among ordinary people! In some cities, even the lords, nobles, and knights personally enthroned by the Karl royal family may not be more popular with the people than the bishops and missionaries of the local church.

However, in Oxford, the situation has changed recently.

Douglas was depressed to find that fewer and fewer people came to the church to pray recently... On the contrary, the Adventurer Guild is getting busier and busier! The residents of the town encountered trolls or sea tribes attacks, and lost their property or their relatives. They would not come to the church to pray for help as before. Instead, they would go to the Adventurer Guild to ask Adventurers to help them to maintain justice!

In fact, Douglas understood the mentality of the residents of the town very well. Faced with the flood of troll disasters, even the always weak and incompetent Carl royal family opened the kingdom vault for the first time, urging adventurers to destroy trolls with "king bounty". Instead, the Holy See of Light has been holding its troops unmoved, and it has obviously had a strong power, but has always been "not doing its job"!

Because he rejected many believers, the residents of the town who used to respect him very much recently saw him and ignored him.

The church donation box has not received a good donation for a long time...

"I really can't figure out. Even though the trolls are so harmful, why did the above ban the bishops and priests from taking action? Instead, they forced everyone to devote their energy to finding a "prophet"..."

Douglas remembered the thousands of instructions that Joseph, the Cardinal of Haiyan City, had when he met him privately a month ago, and felt that he had nowhere to vent his questions!

In his identity, of course, he vaguely knew the so-called "prophecy of the great sage".

One of the four great legends, "The Great Sage", ascetic, and legendary priest Samuel Marcellus.

It was the creator of the priest's profession mark who left a prophecy before his death that once the mainland falls into chaos again, only the "prophet" can lead mankind out of the predicament! However, Douglas did not agree with it in his heart. He vaguely felt that it had been more than three hundred years. For a prophecy that was not accurate or not, it was simply nonsense to mobilize the power of the entire Holy See's Church to do its job without doing its job!

The believers donate and purchase various paid spell services, but the church's biggest source of income. If this continues, Douglas feels that his chapel will not be able to maintain...
