The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1514 434: The New Testament and the Salvation Army! (Part 4)

Different from the myriad thoughts of Rayden and the self-sacrificing path of the knight, Brennan didn't think that much. In his heart, there was only one word: "Awesome."

Saint Sis's son said it themselves, their rebellion was justified because the nobles betrayed first.

Can a king be more awesome than this?

Whether the Church admits it, he doesn't care about that thing. Anyway, he believes in it!

The only ones scared to death were the priests present.

Seeing the soldiers of the Salvation Army didn't go on a killing spree after breaking into the castle, they thought these peasants really had a change of heart, awakened by Divine grace and returned to faith.

Unexpectedly, these guys had no trace of "piety" in their bones, keeping silent just to hold back something big!

What is a Divine Son?

Saint Sis isn't a mere mortal... When did they have a child!?

Writing mortal stories for the Divine was something from the First Epoch!

And those half-baked Salvation Army, every word they speak in the name of Saint Sis sounds like the crooked reasoning demons in Hell would say!

However, these people with pale faces didn't dare to say a word because the wolfish soldiers were nearby. With "Truth" in hand, it was hard to say who was the heretic.

The truly pious ones had long died in the chaos, most of those who survived carried some cunning.

They don't want to be taken by Saint Sis for now; living on gives meaning to debates of right and wrong.

In short, endure for the time being...

As of now, these uncouth countryside folks seem to only be rearranging the ancestry of Saint Sis and haven't used it as an excuse to start killing again.

Thinking about it...

It's not so bad, huh?

Recalling what these country folks did before, they suddenly convinced themselves.

Even if this Holy Maiden gives another Oracle to replace their Holy Word Book with a New Chapter, they might just consider playing along.

What they didn't know was, the Holy Maiden standing on the high platform had indeed intended this.

She had no doubts about the necessity to spread the Truth; she would compile the version Mr. Colin told her into the "New Testament" and then teach it to the lost people.

Talents are the root of everything, "everyone is a priest" is the truly correct principle!

However, this matter could be postponed for now; there are more important things waiting for her to do.

After clarifying power and responsibility, she still needs to issue the Salvation Army's administrative program and complete the official ordination ceremonies— or rather personnel appointments.

Everything will be conducted in the name of the Divine!

Or in the name of the common people!

...

The ordination ceremony proceeded smoothly, although the process was somewhat peculiar and didn't even use the title of ordination.

In the name of the Oracle, Holy Maiden Carian self-appointed as a Holy Maiden, managing religious affairs, in a position similar to a Bishop.

But unlike a traditional Bishop, she did not demarcate any fief for herself.

Her explanation for this was that she had promised the Divine Son she was willing to give up all worldly desires, dedicating the rest of her life to faith, embracing a life of poverty.

As for Rayden, she ordained him as the Salvation Army's first "Holy Grail Knight," overseeing fifty knights in the castle.

Moreover, she also bestowed him with the "Holy Grail Shield" personally crafted by the Divine Son, as a gift for choosing to pledge allegiance to the common people.

As for Brennan, he was equally ordained, receiving a "Champion's Axe" under the title "Champion Warrior."

Initially, both thought what the Holy Maiden granted them were merely common "ceremonial tools," until they held the bestowed Holy Relics in their hands.

Continuous power flowed through the cold metal, as if the Divine stood beside them!

At that moment, both showed expressions of amazement, shocked by the incredible items in their hands.

Perhaps...

Saint Sis might really have a child, who knows?

Beyond the two "National Guardian Generals," Carian continued to ordain a group of Affairs Officers responsible for specific matters.

Most of them were people who stood out in previous work, some from within the Salvation Army, others from the populace... Regardless of where they came from or their previous occupations, the Divine Son hoped they would continue fulfilling their responsibilities.

However, these people didn't receive Divine Artifacts.

They themselves didn't need Extraordinary Power; they just needed to complete their tasks with a sense of reverence.

From the castle tower, Luo Yan looked down at the castle courtyard with a smile, observing the ordination ceremony conducted in his name.

"What kind of monster did you create?" Taufu, squatting beside him, couldn't help but remark.

Luo Yan smiled.

"Barthonia Kingdom? Or... something else? Who knows, I'm curious about where they will take the weapons I handed them."

It's not like he just gave them bread, he handed them a weapon too.

But unlike Chaos.

He gave an invisible weapon, not visible guns and cannons.

Of course, excluding those two "Divine Artifacts," which were his impromptu creations.

To celebrate the birth of the Salvation Army, he specifically synthesized two Diamond Seeds and selected two suitable items from the Lord's treasury to attach Divine Power to.

He must admit he just wanted to test the functions of his Divine, and study whether the returns could exceed the investment.

Anyway, the weapons themselves have no self-will, and reclaiming the Divine Power added to the Divine Artifacts is easy.

And if the holders of the Divine Artifacts create new legends with the Divine Artifacts, such as truly fulfilling their vows and protecting their folks through future years... this investment's returns might far exceed his expectations.

He and Youyou have always kept a close eye on Rayden and Brennan.

One who betrayed Saint Sis, one who abandoned Chaos... they are worth investing in, even more than a few backstabbers in his territory.

But come to think of it, does this mean both Saint Sis and Eternal Hunger Claw got beefed up?

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a strange excitement.

However, the not fully developed brain of Taufu remained fixated on his previous words.

"Barthonia... what is that?"

"Nothing, just something from a game I played in my past life, don't mind it."

"You really have a twisted sense of humor."

"How do you see that?"

Taufu retorted.

"Though I admit I didn't do anything good, that was accidental; at least my intention was good."

Upon hearing this excuse, Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"How do you know my intention wasn't good?"

"Anyway, I can't see it!"

Luo Yan smiled softly.

"That's why you—"

Seeing the Demon King smile softly again, Taufu hurriedly covered her ears with her wings, looking like she didn't want to hear it.

"Enough, I don't want to listen!"

Luo Yan actually intended to say something else, but having teased Taufu enough for today, he decided to save the rest for tomorrow.

To prevent her from becoming desensitized, then it wouldn't be fun.

At this moment, Luo Yan suddenly noticed the sound of light footsteps coming from the tower entrance.

He looked over and saw Carian standing there, having completed the ceremony, with a sacred smile tinged with subtle joy.

"I knew you would be here."
