Chapter 513 - Priests of the Dragon God

In Dragon City, in the deepest sanctuary of the Dragon God’s Great Temple, Pope Clooney of the Dragon God’s church and the church’s upper echelons were kneeling on the ground, devoutly reciting the words of prayer.

“My Lord Louie Galakrond, you are the God who was and is everlasting!”

“......”

“My Lord Louie Galakrond, you are the only true Dragon God…”

“......”

As the prayers ranged from low to high, the statue of the Dragon God and the divine emblem in the sanctuary began to emit divine light.

The believers present revealed sincere devotion and some even had tears streaming down their faces.

“We are all Your sheep grazing on the earth. Glory to You, victory to You, may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!”

“Hooo…”

At the end of the prayer, the senior believers of the church opened their eyes. They looked at each other with joy, and the joy that radiated from the bottom of their hearts almost turned physical.

This was a world with true gods. Every church could gain a high status not by virtue of political power, but by virtue of faith.

For the Church, those who could climb from the smallest position of priest to the position of bishop were absolutely fanatical believers. What was most important for the promotion of people was faith followed by ability.

Therefore, a true god would consider those fanatical believers who also possessed talents as treasures.

The bishops of the church exuded exuberant emotions. Each one whispered congratulations to the other as if their god’s promotion was more joyful to them than the benefits they had received.

“His Highness has reached mid-tier divine power, and the dragons have finally placed their faith in His Majesty.”

Clooney, who already had white temples, spoke in a slow voice. Although his voice was small and contained no power, all the clergy below him listened attentively.

This was the prestige Clooney possessed over the past twenty years. He had developed the church almost by himself and allowed it to radiate to the entire south of the continent. With hidden support, he was even beginning to preach to the western parts of the continent.

“Praise be to the Dragon God!”

The bishops lowered their heads and closed their eyes, reverently whispering praises.

“This time, we need to send someone over to join the dragons. The dragons don’t know how to build a church for God, and we already have a mature system. With little change, it can also be used by the dragons, but this would be a difficult task due to their innate.”

When Clooney’s words fell, the bishops scrambled to be the first to offer themselves. Each one had a look of fervor as if they had a madness for preaching in their hearts, even if the targets that they would be preaching to were dragons.

But the pope raised his hand to stop everyone’s scramble and slowly spoke, “This time, I will personally deal with the dragons. Right now, establishing faith in the dragons is the most important task given to us by God. We must ensure that it is completed successfully. We cannot let God down.”

Seeing Clooney take the initiative to stop his work, the bishops did not say anymore. When talking about the strongest missionary in the entire Dragon God Church, Pope Clooney would be the only person to be mentioned.

Today, Clooney was already a legendary ranked priest under the blessings of faith. For priests, legendary rank was already the highest point that they could reach. All they could do to get infinitely closer to God was to improve their professional rank. If they want to take the next step, they would have to become god’s chosen one.

“Other than the dragons, there is also another difficult task that we need to do. This is about establishing a church in the Subila Kingdom. Princess Andrea has reached an agreement with His Highness, so we need a bishop to take a position in the Subila Kingdom. It’s just that this would be a hidden and difficult task.”

Clooney pondered for a moment and spoke, “Bazel!”

A middle-aged priest stepped forward. He bowed his head respectfully, “Lord Pope, what are your orders!”

“Bazel, I want you to lead the members of the Inquisitorial Corps to the Subila Kingdom. Make sure to act carefully and complete the God-given mission perfectly while ensuring your own safety.”

“Praise be to the Dragon God! I will accomplish my task.”

The bishop named Bazel raised his fist and beat his chest.

When the other bishops saw that the task was assigned to Bazel, none of them had any objections.

Among the church hierarchy, Bazel was also a legendary rank priest. He possessed a strong and devout faith. In terms of combat power, he was even more powerful than Clooney.

Before becoming a believer in the Dragon God Church, Bazel was a powerful assassin. After becoming a believer, he became a legendary rank priest because of his devout faith. He himself possessed extraordinary talent. In the previous invasion against the Seven Kingdom Alliance, he made great achievements and gained a lot of reputation, allowing him to rank up to a legendary rank assassin.

He was a double legend as one who possessed two professions at the legendary rank.

After Louie gained the divine authority of killing, he was able to grant his followers more powerful means of killing. Bezel’s powerful priest rank allowed him to gain a greater blessing, thus allowing him to use many secret methods that other legendary assassins were unable to use. He could be considered one of the best in assassinations, open killing, and massacres.

This was why he was the bishop assigned to manage the inquisition which operated in the darkness.

The group was also formed after Louie gained the divine authority of killing. Each member of the corps would be able to gain blessings as a priest and as an assassin. Other priests might be able to gain healing and other auxiliary divine spells through prayers, but the members of this team were able to gain killing-related divine arts through their prayers. They were tasked with helping the Church to do unseemly deeds.

This time, because of the necessity to operate in secret, it was a good opportunity to send out the Inquisition Corps.

A god’s divine authorities could be used to grant believers different kinds of divine arts. For example, Louie’s divine authority of life would grant priests the highest level of healing divine arts. The vast majority of priests who pray would obtain this type of divine art. It could be said that priests were doctors of the world and because the divine authority of life was a complete divine authority, the priests’ healing was far superior to any other healing divine arts. This was one of the ways churches could gain extra money.

If someone was a believer in the Dragon God, they would only need to pay a small fee to receive healing. This was the same as having health insurance. On the other hand, non-believers would have to pay significantly more just to receive treatment.

Dragon City was Louie’s home base and there was only one church in the city. With the surroundings being filled with places of adventure, Dragon City was truly an adventurer’s holy city.

As a result, the city attracts countless adventurers, and the only church that the adventurers could go to after being injured was the Dragon God Church. This would allow the church to make a fortune.

The divine authority of dreams bestowed believers with illusion-related divine arts. On the other hand, the divine authority of time was so high-end that only a small number of high-level priests could use it. A single spell they cast was equivalent to a mage’s nine-ringed spell or even a legendary spell.

The divine authority of killing granted powerful killing divine arts. The divine authority of earth bestowed priests the ability to help farmers better cultivate the land. The divine authority of magic was modified by Louie to create a prototype of a new profession, mage killers.

Clooney finished giving out instructions and just as he was about to ask everyone to retire, his heart suddenly stirred, and he fell into a trance.

His god was sending a summons!
