Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 679 Midnight Meeting

At midnight, the ancient city of Kojie was still under martial law, but the streets were filled not only with patrolling knight guards, but also with many cleaning crews in brown robes. They were all priests of the Church of the Earth, and at this moment they were cleaning up the ruins of their own churches with heavy hearts.

In addition to feeling heavy-hearted, many earth priests were also somewhat worried and frightened. After all, many terrorist attacks had occurred this month. Not only had the number of earth priests been directly reduced, but there had even been many bad rumors spread in the ancient city of Kejie.

The Earth God Cult has encountered an unprecedented disaster, and all the priests will be punished by the gods...

The followers of the Earth God Cult were not sincere and disobeyed the will of God, so everything went wrong...

In the near future, the Church of the Earth God will become the first religion to be destroyed on the Walterlan continent...

Remarks like these kept coming out one after another. Although the missionaries of the Church of the Earth had been making public statements denying various rumors that were unfavorable to the sect, this was obviously of no use.

It seemed as if there was a force behind the scenes maliciously guiding public opinion. These terrible rumors always emerged in pubs, restaurants, streets... and various public places. Even if the Earth God Cult investigated, they could not find the source of the rumors.

Until today, when all the churches in the inner city of the ancient city of Kotzebue were attacked by terrorists, the credibility of these rumors reached its peak.

Some of the weak-minded earth priests were extremely panicked, and those new believers who had just joined the Earth God Religion chose to leave the religion one after another.

Are you kidding? If I don’t retreat, will I wait for death?

What if I encounter a terrorist attack while visiting the Earth Church?

If I die a martyr, what will happen to my wife and children?

Most of the believers of the God of Earth are people working in land-related fields, such as farmers, landlords, miners, etc. They usually deal with the earth, and their work and life are inseparable from the land, so they choose to believe in the God of Earth.

This also leads to the fact that most of the believers of the God of Earth are middle and lower class people, and the grassroots population accounts for a high proportion. Therefore, they are most likely to believe rumors they hear from others, and even believe some obviously false statements, such as that the God of Earth Cult is going to end.

Coupled with the recent frequent terrorist attacks, the Earth God Cult's share of the Seth Empire's faith market has declined rapidly. If it weren't for the support of the Seth Royal Family, the Earth God Cult would probably have become a third-rate sect.

At this time, the moon was shining brightly. In a meeting room of the Earth Church in the outer city area of ​​the ancient city of Kojie, dozens of high-ranking priests of the Earth Goddess Church gathered here. At the same time, several leaders of the Knights of Kojie and Archbishop Matthew of the Moon Goddess Sect were also here.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very bad. The priests of the Earth God Cult all had depressed and sour faces, and several knight commanders also hung their heads in silence. Only Matthew and several other Bright Moon priests had leisurely expressions.

Matthew deliberately chose a seat near the window. The window was wide open at this time, and the silvery moonlight in the night sky poured into the conference room. Matthew enjoyed bathing in the moonlight so much that he couldn't help but close his eyes and began his daily prayer routine.

“Archbishop Matthew, we are discussing how to deal with those damn terrorists. This matter is of great significance and you should take it seriously.”

An old-looking earth priest couldn't help but remind him. In his opinion, Matthew's closing of his eyes to pray was indeed a sign of slacking off, and was even more disrespectful to this meeting. It was obvious that the Earth God Church had reached a point of life and death.

Matthew opened her narrow eyes, glanced at the Earth Priest who was speaking, and then continued to close her eyes. The several Moon Priests beside her did the same, not giving him any face at all.

"The moon is bright in the sky. It is the time for the devout believers to pray to Lord Orevia. If you keep talking nonsense, we will leave."

"This is unreasonable, you..."

Matthew's blunt words not only made the old priest furious, but also made the other priests of the Earth stand up in anger. They were all powerful bishop-level figures in the Church of the Earth. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Several knight commanders who were watching the show looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Soon, a knight commander of the highest rank stepped forward to act as a peacemaker. "Respected Archbishop Matthew, those terrorists have been acting rampant recently. It is very likely that they will also affect the Bright Moon Church. Please pay more attention to it..."

"Hmph, I don't think so. Some people might be colluding with terrorists. So there's nothing to worry about!"

"The Bright Moon Church is probably the safest place in the entire ancient city of Kejie..."

"I even saw with my own eyes that the terrorists were very cautious, fearing that they would destroy the Bright Moon Church next door!"

Facing the tit-for-tat of the earth priests, Matthew simply changed his sitting position to be more comfortable, and then said indifferently: "My Bright Moon Goddess Sect has always strictly followed the teachings, and all the believers have honestly practiced salvation and purification."

"Unlike some small religions that do not do their job properly, they do not know their own limits and try to join the army and politics, and try to get involved in secular power, and finally end up with a tragic end of being punished by God and exterminated!"

"What did you say?!!"

"Can you say that again!!"

Although Matthew did not mention the Earth God Cult in his words, there was no doubt that he was making indirect accusations and making sarcastic remarks. A group of Earth God priests immediately exploded, and they stood up and glared at Matthew. Some of them were so aggressive that they looked like they were about to take action.

Matthew shook his head slightly, and then revealed a trace of the elemental's magical pressure. The group of earth priests immediately retreated in fear, and then sat back in their seats obediently, not daring to look Matthew in the eye.

Even though Matthew is just a medical sorcerer, her elementalist mage class is there, so who dares to mess with her?
