Rick suddenly felt a slight pain in his head, but the pain flashed by. He closed his eyes and could find a ray of light in his infinitely dark mind, "Is this?"

"This is the spiritual mark I left. If someone tries to invade your consciousness with his mental power, the mark will block it. But if the enemy's mental power is much stronger than me, the mark will collapse. Kyle, as long as you find that the mark has disappeared, be vigilant." Belle withdrew his little hand pressed on Rick's chest and said seriously.

"I understand, thank you, Lan'er." Feeling Belle's tenderness, Rick nodded with a smile.

The girl in white robe tilted her head, and her black hair blew on her shoulders like a waterfall. The sunlight outside the window shone in, and the girl's smile was as warm as the sun.

"Hey, Miss Belle, you have some attainments in the field of mental power, I admire you." Martin looked at Belle with a surprised face, not surprised by her beauty, but asked about mental power.

"I am a priest, who is what you call a summoner." To determine the strength of a summoner, just look at the strength of mental power and natural affinity. As a candidate for the divine messenger, Belle, in addition to being born with a strong natural affinity given by the goddess, is also powerful and able to see the spiritual power of the outside world.

"Oh, summoner..." Martin muttered with a voice he could only hear: "What a pity."

"Jim, Martin, I will leave a spiritual mark in your body, please be careful of mental attacks." Belle left a spiritual mark on the two of them as insurance, but she didn't know if this could work.

"With Miss Belle's help, our safety is guaranteed." Jim smiled at Belle with gratitude, and then said seriously: "Martin, what are the steps to become a believer in the Church of Destiny?"

"This is simple, just go to churches of all sizes in Ice City to register. Just pretend to be honest and faithful, and you can easily become a believer at the bottom." Martin suggested: "However, most residents of Ice City have joined the church long ago. If you go there at this time, you may be suspected."

"Then do you have any good ideas?" Grey asked back.

Martin smiled, "It just so happened that the great church in Ice City is about to be completed. Then another church entry ceremony will be held. After that, all residents of Ice City will believe in the Lord God."

"Okay. Just wait for that time." Jim determined the time of action and instructed: "Martin, I will hand over the identification certificates of Kyle and I to you these days, make sure not to show off."

"No problem." Martin agreed immediately.

Everyone continued to discuss the details of this plan to ensure that there were no mistakes.

Elena didn't say a word during the whole process. She focused on applying nail polish, and listened to the final plan with her face. No one noticed that she shook her head helplessly and murmured: "What a waste of time."

This day is of great significance to the Ice City. All local residents flocked to the streets because the Cathedral of the Church of Destiny was completed on this day.

For the believers of the Lord God, it is a great honor to set the location of the Great Church in Ice City. This is the birthplace of faith, which means that when the light of the Lord God spreads to every corner of the mainland, the Ice City will be a place for believers to pilgrimage.

Therefore, local residents voluntarily donated money to build a cathedral that was not inferior to the castle in front of the local officials' temple.

At this time, there were several circles of people outside the church, and it was blocked. Most of them were already believers in the church, and only a small number of tourists from other countries watched the ceremony curiously.

Rick, Jim and Martin were wearing the armor of the Ice City standard guards, wearing thick iron swords around their waists, and a bronze helmet. They were obviously dressed very ordinary, but the handsome face of the three still attracted the attention of many girls.

"Hey, is the guard guard who guards the city so handsome?"

"Look, that man with short black hair is so sunny and handsome."

"Well. I like the one with long hair, who is obviously just a guard, and his temperament is not even comparable to some nobles."

"Hehe, that handsome guy with silver hair is very beautiful. But he looks as thin as a person from the Ice and Snow Empire."

Several young girls gathered together and commented on the three of them.

"Martin, you used to be Lord Bob's assistant. Are you sure no one will recognize you?" Rick asked softly in the silver-haired man's ear.

"Don't worry, I'm the man behind Lord Bob. I usually only need to deal with some trivial matters. I rarely appear in front of others as a deputy, and there will be no problem." Martin patted his chest confidently.

"Look," Jim, who was standing beside him, pointed to the strong and reckless men not far away, and then pointed to the thin young man wearing thick coats and was said: "These people are obviously from the Lion Empire and the Ice and Snow Empire. If someone really planned to invade various countries with religion, he would definitely find a way to spread the faith of the Lord God to the three empires."

"You mean, these people are likely to join the Church of Destiny later?" Rick looked at the two people, carrying large and small bags on them. He saw that he had just arrived in Ice City and had not joined the Church of Destiny.

The crowd suddenly became restless, and Rick felt that the people around him were boiling, and dense heads rushed towards the cathedral in front.

Rick and Jim were very strong, and put on bronze armor, easily crossed the crowd and squeezed into the front row. Martin was sad. He was just a civil servant and had never exercised at all. He was almost pushed away. If Rick hadn't pulled him, Martin wouldn't know where he had been squeezed.

Martin bent down and supported his knees with his hands, leaned his head over, and gasped, saying, "Thank you, Kyle, I was almost squeezed into a meatloaf."

"Who believes you say you are like a guard?" Rick smiled at Martin, who was angry.

"Shhh," Jim looked ahead and made a gesture of silence.

The ten-meter-high gate of the church was slowly pushed open, and four middle-aged men in white robes smiled kindly on their faces, and two people on the left and right walked out slowly. They followed two teams of believers, docked on both sides, leaving an aisle in the middle.

"These are the four major bishops of the Church of Destiny, equivalent to the cardinal of the Cato Empire." Martin explained on the side.

"Dear Lord God's most devout believers, travelers from the mainland. Today is the day of the founding of the Great Church. May the glory of Lord God illuminate the entire ice city!" A bishop looked up at the sky and said with emotion.

As soon as the words came out, the residents of Ice City immediately echoed loudly. Rick and the other two looked at each other cleverly, followed the crowd around them and shouted: "Praise the Lord God!"

The bishop nodded with satisfaction, pressed his hands down, and the cheers of crowds stopped immediately.

"The Lord God will generously reward His believers. Happiness, honor, longevity and good luck, those who are confused and wandering in reality and faith, welcome to join our big family and throw themselves into the warm embrace of the Lord God." The bishop spread his hands outward, and made a hug gesture, and said kindly: "Now, is there anyone who wants to be the most devout believer of the Lord God?"

Jim touched Rick and Martin quietly with his elbow, his eyes as if he was saying, "It's time for us to act."

Rick nodded, and the three of them walked forward under the gaze of everyone. They half-kneeled on the ground and said in fear and trepidation: "We are willing to be the most devout believers of the Lord God, may the Lord God bless you."

"Look, it's the guards of Ice City."

"It seems that local officials are finally willing to admit destiny to church, which is great."

Almost all the residents of the Ice City are believers of the Church of Destiny. They are pleased to see the guards representing the attitude of local officials joining the church. This means that in the near future, the Principality of Lair will recognize the status of the church and regard the Church of Destiny as the state religion.

Being stared at by thousands of people, Martin lowered his head in panic and sweated coldly on his forehead. Rick and Jim around him seemed much more calm.

Rick smiled at Martin, winked, and signaled him to relax.

Jim frowned and glanced at the crowd around him. He had already expected that there would not be many people joining the church at this moment, because most of the residents of Ice City had long been members of the Church of Destiny.

With Rick, Jim and Martin, there were only more than ten people out of the crowd and were willing to join the Church of Destiny.

What puzzled Jim was that the people of the Lion Empire and the Ice and Snow Empire mentioned before seemed to be not moved at all. There was no idea of ​​joining the Church of Destiny.

The Lion Empire is a typical atheist, and the Ice and Snow Empire is a loyal believer of the Ice and Snow Goddess. In order not to attract the attention of all parties, the Church of Destiny did not tamper with these people? Jim thought about it and believed that the Church of Destiny just washed the minds of the residents of the Ice City and did not dare to attack other empires openly.

Rick and the other two dressed up as local guards, which was what the bishop wanted to see the most. They nodded, walked up, and whispered to the Lord God. The three bishops put their hands on Rick, Jim and Martin's foreheads.

The three of them were shocked and immediately became alert, because at this time, the bishop was likely to launch a mental attack, which is the so-called brainwashing.

Rick closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the light in his mind. It was the spiritual mark left by Belle. If it reacted, Rick would run away immediately.

The three of them nervously accepted the bishop's blessing. Time passed slowly, and minute by minute, their bodies were soaked in sweat.

Rick's nerves were highly nervous, ensuring that he had no psychological hints or strange thoughts, and the mental mark was intact, without any slight collapse.

After a while, the bishop's hand finally left the foreheads of the three of them. Rick immediately took a deep breath and silently wiped away the sweat from his face and nose.

The three of them looked at each other secretly with their heads down, exchanged glances with each other, then raised their heads and shouted loudly and passionately: "Praise the Lord God."

The bishop smiled kindly, waved his sleeves, and Rick and the other two tactfully retreated into the crowd.

He let out a long sigh, Martin was so nervous that he was about to lose oxygen. He swallowed and asked in a low voice: "My mental mark is still there, as if I had not been invaded by mental power. Where are you?"

"Same." Rick and Jim said in unison with doubts.

Is there enough believers in Ice City now that there is no need to use the means of controlling people's thoughts to attract new believers? Rick glanced at the crowd watching the lively Lion Empire and Ice and Snow Empire people who were watching the fun did not have the urge to convert to the Lord God. He thought to himself: "It seems that the Church of Destiny has the only appetite for the Duchy of Lyre, and he does not intend to attack people from other countries."

How did the Church of Destiny make the residents of Ice City devote themselves to the Lord God? The possibility of mental control cannot be ruled out now, so wait... Rick couldn't come to the conclusion, so he had to put his questions aside for the time being.

"Next, please call on the first pope of the Church of Destiny, His Majesty Sono." Four archbishops crawled on both sides of the church gate, waiting for the arrival of the pope.

The believers blocked outside the cathedral shouted the pope's name and crawled on the ground like an archbishop. Rick, Jim and Martin both knelt on the ground, lowered their heads' eyes and glanced upwards at the church gate through their bangs.

An old man with a kind face wearing a high gold-rimmed hat, holding a scepter made of silver, and wearing an exquisite dark golden robe. He looked at the believers crawling in front of him with a gentle look as if he was looking at his children.

Sono stood among the four archbishops with a smile, aiming his slightly wrinkled fingers at the thick clouds in the sky. A shocking thing happened. The layers of clouds that covered the sun were pushed away by an invisible standpoint, and the extra brilliant sunlight shone from the holes in the sky on the believers in front of the cathedral.

The excited residents shouted miracles, but Rick and the other two disagreed. It was common to use magic to disperse the clouds, and in their eyes it was just a trick.

"The Lord God said that His believers will live in light forever." With Sono's declaration, the clouds in the sky were swept away, the golden sunlight made people feel refreshed, and the snow on the canopy of the ice city began to melt slowly.

This pope has a few tricks, he looks pretty.

The Church of Destiny is not like a dangerous organization that suddenly emerges. In Rick's view, this emerging church is developing and maturing.

Today is the day when the Cathedral of the Church of Destiny is completed, so the pope will naturally preside over it. What the old man said is nothing more than the points often mentioned by religion, such as the sublimation of souls and happiness that can be obtained by believing in the Lord God. This doctrine that never leaves its sect can be heard by Rick's ears.

However, the residents of the Ice City were all moved and burst into tears.

The church ceremony was held for a whole morning. After the Pope announced the end, the residents of the Ice City who had not yet calmed down disperse.

Rick and the other two were just believers who entered the church. When they finished, they received a booklet, which was the core doctrine that preached the Lord’s faith, something similar to the Bible.

Jim carefully looked through and concluded: "The doctrine of the Church of Destiny is normal, without extremeness or psychological hints, this is not a brainwashing method."

The three of them returned to the hotel thoughtfully, and Grey immediately asked curiously: "How is it? Brother Kyle, do you still remember who I am?" (To be continued.)
