Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 465 Lantern in Dreams

Although the continent of Sauron has temporarily stabilized, it is not as peaceful as it appears.

The Pope of the Dark Night Holy Court was praying in a cathedral built underground at this time. The old Pope had just awakened from a dream.

This was a church built during the persecution of the Church of the Morning Star. It can be said that it gathered all the manpower of the church at that time. In addition to its daily church functions, it can even be used as an underground fortress that can withstand attacks from super-level magic.

Yes, although super-level magic is terrifying, the people of Sauron also have their own wisdom, such as the simple defensive method of hiding underground.

Of course, this method has many limitations, so few people use it. Only churches like the Morning Star Church that are almost desperate will consider it.

However, now that the shadow of the Lord of the Morning Star has been cast, the Dark Night Holy Court has finally shown some signs of improvement. It not only occupies half of Castile, but also has a tendency to expand into other regions.

In the Pope's opinion, the widespread but superficial belief in the Mother of the Infinite cannot compete with the great Lord of the Morning Star. After all, those shallow believers will not devote themselves to the Mother of the Infinite, while there are many people in the Holy See of Darkness who are willing to devote themselves to the Lord.

Now the only opponent of the Holy Tribunal of Darkness may be the faith coming from Mu Continent. After all, the national strength and technology of the Roll Empire in Mu Continent should not be underestimated. But the old Pope is not in a hurry, but plans to take it slow, especially after the empire stops swallowing up the magic stone veins in the Albar Rock.

The Pope of the Dark Night Holy See has always believed that time is on his side. After all, recently, the Dark Night Holy See's technology for controlling dreams has ushered in wave after wave of breakthroughs. Except for Levian, other bishops have also begun to rise and brought many new technologies.

The Dark Night Holy Court can now be said to be full of vitality, with all things flourishing.

Although the missionaries of the empire also brought the so-called divine arts, in the eyes of the Pope, no matter how magical the so-called divine arts were, they were far inferior to the ability to control dreams. After all, whether it was purification or healing, these were things that other magics could also do, while controlling dreams could be said to be a unique ability.

If he were not so old, the Pope would have even wanted to spread his legs and stretch his arms, and ask loudly: "Can other churches do this?"

If it were before, the old Pope might not be so confident, but after experiencing the new Dark Night Sanctuary built by the cardinals, the old Pope can now be said to be full of confidence.

After Levian proposed a series of ideas for improving the rituals, the Holy Trinity of Darkness now resembles a cathedral, and every brick and tile is extremely real. It is no longer like before, with only a long table and the patterns on the long table were a blurry sticker.

The Pope recalled his previous dreams. In addition to the church that was becoming more and more real, there were more and more people active in the Dark Night Sanctuary. Back then, the long tables in the Dark Night Sanctuary were never full, because once they were full, the dream would begin to become stuck and unstable, and more Morning Star Apostles would have to be deployed.

And now, with the improvements made by Levian and other cardinals, only a small number of Morning Star Apostles are needed to maintain the stability of the Dark Night Holy Court's dream. Nowadays, some bishops can be stationed in the Dark Night Holy Court's dream to transform it.

This seemed to involve some mathematical principles, as well as runes and magic transformations. Levian had taught the old Pope this knowledge before, but to be honest, the Pope was really old, and even if Levian explained it very clearly, the old Pope simply couldn't understand it.

There is no way, they just can't do it. In the old Pope's opinion, there are many places where more Morning Star Apostles can be invested for optimization instead of making any messy calculations. Anyway, the least valuable thing in the continent of Sauron is people.

To this end, the old Pope even asked Garcia to capture more people to become Morning Star Apostles who dedicated themselves to the Lord and the great cause, and gave all these people to Levian to allow Levian's research to go further.

In the old Pope's opinion, Levian should not waste his time on meaningless numbers. The only important thing is to build the church in the dream of the Dark Night Holy Court as soon as possible so that he can worship the great Lord in his dreams.

Those Morning Star Apostles are nothing more than consumables.

Apart from this, the old Pope was very satisfied with Levian, especially the fanaticism in Levian's eyes every time they met. The old Pope even considered letting Levian take over from him and become the next leader of the Dark Night Holy See.

Of course, if I have to say something, it is that the construction style of the church led by Levian is a bit strange. It is not like the common church style on the continent of Sauron, nor is it like the church that the Lord of the Morning Star once built. If I have to say something, it is somewhat similar to the Goddess Church spread by the Empire.

But the old pope could understand it. After all, due to the suppression of the Dragon Church, the Lord of the Morning Star basically no longer had a complete church. Even the old pope himself could not describe what the Lord of the Morning Star’s church used to look like, let alone Levian.

Moreover, there has been a trend of imitating the empire recently on the continent. Most of the stronger countries are imitating the empire by building cement avenues, constructing magic lamps on both sides of the avenues, and matching them with green vegetation. Even the old Pope had to admit that when night falls, the street lights in the dark coupled with the fragrant vegetation do appear warm and peaceful, with a unique flavor.

However, such planning usually only occurs in the wealthy areas of the kingdom or inside the royal city, for the entertainment of the princes and nobles.

There are many examples like this, and even many kingdoms are proud of where they are most similar to the Empire. The popularity of the Empire has permeated every aspect of the Sauron continent, including the aesthetics of the church. There is no way, the apron church of the Dragon Church is indeed not very good-looking, and the Empire's church is more beautiful, so Levian's aesthetics are partially influenced by the Empire, and the old Pope thinks it is understandable.

Recently, there are more and more people around Levian, from bishops to grassroots priests, all of them have dealings with Levian. The old Pope understands that this is Levian supporting his own power, but it is precisely because of this that the old Pope can safely hand over the burden to Levian.

Yes, everything is normal. The Holy Court of Darkness is developing in the best direction, just like a perfect dream.

In a trance, the Pope seemed to see a faint lantern, but after rubbing his eyes carefully, he found that it was a torch lit inside the underground church.

I am really old. I could actually misread such an obvious thing.
