Chapter 2274: Shadow church

Listening to Ms. Shadow's slightly pleasant words, Rod frowned somewhat suspiciously. This feeling was uncomfortable. Could it be that he has forgotten something?
"Cesia...If she really changes my memory, I will find a way to solve her." It seems that something has been thought of, Rod said slowly.
"Master, I believe that with your power, even the king of eroticism can't stop you. You are the object of worship by all legion members, and I believe you will be able to get back the memories."
Aside, Agrand took the initiative to praise, and his words were full of trust in Rhodes's power.
Rod did not say much, but silently clenched the Titan Arrow in his hand.
"Rod..."
Having achieved everything he wanted to know, just as Rod was about to leave here, the call from the darkness made him stop subconsciously.
"I heard that heroes will be immortal because of love. For the love in their hearts, they can give everything and gain the power to reverse everything. But does love make us stronger or weaker?"
As these words came, Rod felt her hand resting on his shoulder.
"Whether it is you or me, placed in the main plane, they are the existence of dominating one side. They would not be bound by these, but why did we make the same choice and restrain ourselves with love, instead of restraining ourselves? I have investigated your deeds. If you came here once, you might not be affected by the king of eroticism at all."
Listening to Sally’s whispers, Rod fell silent for a while, and after a while, he replied:
Since there is the moment of cocooning and binding, naturally there will be a day out of the cocoon. In front of my strength, there is no What can stop me, I believe that day will not be too far."
In the darkness, Sally took a deep look at him, and she didn't expect that without the Scarlet Eye, she would have a deeper understanding of Lord.
"The Shadow Cult is the origin of the Thieves Guild. The ruins are still well preserved. Don't you want to stay and explore here with me?" It seemed that something had been thought of, and Sally offered an invitation to Rhode.
Rod just waved his hand and replied slowly: "I'm not interested in this. The matter between Cesia and I have not been settled yet."
"Really? Even the news about the artifact can't arouse your interest?" Ms. Shadow had long understood Rhode's preferences and asked immediately.
"Artifact..." Luo Luo showed a look of surprise. Could it be that in this site, there is an artifact that used to be the Thieves Guild? According to Rhodes's understanding, Sally would not be aimless. She said that, obviously, she had some information in advance.
Seeing that Rod is very interested in artifacts, and that this interest is on top of her own invitation, Sally snorted dissatisfiedly, and then added: "Yes, but that is only news about artifacts, not exact information. Where."
"How did you know this news?" After a little thought, Rod soon had new doubts and asked immediately.
Sally did not rush to answer Lord's doubts, but asked in a rhetorical way: "Do you know how the Shadow Cult fell?"
Luo Luo naturally didn't know the answer to this question, so he shook his head. Before that, he hadn't even heard of the existence of the Shadow Cult. From Sally's account, Rhode knew that the Shadow Cult and the Thieves Guild were closely related.
"That was in the era when the miracles were dying. The Holy See, which had been under the ruler of Elasia for countless years, collapsed with the fall of the stigmata, and the power bestowed by the incarnation of the gods on the believers also failed. In that period, the city in the cloud The door of the city was closed tightly, and the pastors and bishops who were once admired were also the targets of everyone's shouting. People declared that the gods were dead, and the whole of Elasia was in chaos."
Her figure suddenly appeared from behind Rod, leaning close to Rod's ear, and slowly whispered.
"In order to stabilize the rule, the Griffin Heart King at the time announced that Elasia needs a new state religion. Only faith can unite the entire Elasia. The Shadow Religion was born at that time."
Her hand moved little by little, and finally pinched it on Rod's neck.
Rod did not interrupt her movements. In Rod’s perception, there was no danger. It seemed that it was just a way for her to express intimacy, but she obviously forgot what kind of suppression her own rank could form. If the news of the artifact was not too tempting, Rod planned to use teleportation to extend the distance.
"In Elasia at that time, there were only two churches that were the most powerful, the Štojic Church, which embraced the nobles, and the Shadow Church, which gained support from a large number of poor people, including robbers and criminals."
Rod seemed to want to stop her movement. He just raised his hand when he heard a name he was familiar with, and the movement stopped for a while.
"Stojic Church? I remember the original owner of Scarlet Eye, who seems to belong to that church." Rod said with some doubts.
Sally shrugged and did not pay attention to Rod’s words, and continued to add:
The Shadow Church and the Štojic Church have been in constant friction, and they are all working hard to replace the former Holy See and become the new state religion of Erasia. Here it is. Among them, due to doctrinal issues, the Štojic church drew out the demons in the depths of in a sacrifice, thus completely losing its status as the state religion. Since then, it has been expelled from Elasia. The shadow teaching continued to flourish for a while, and the possibility of becoming the state religion is in sight."
"But I haven't heard of the name of the Shadow Sect. What happened that made the Shadow Sect, which should have become the state religion of Erasia, collapsed? It was not even possible to leave a name of its own in the history of Erasia? "
Rod’s words also seemed to evoke some bad memories for Sally. She sighed deeply: "This is what I want to tell you. Seeing that the Shadow Sect is about to become the new state religion, a group of people do not know where to come from. The traveler who came brought the Divine Artifact that belonged to the ancient Holy See for the Griffin Heart King. Under the effect of that Divine Artifact, the gate of Cloud City was reopened, and the supreme angel returned to the world."
While talking, her hand slowly loosened. Rod wanted to remove her hand from his neck, but he looked like he was actively holding her hand to comfort him at the moment. Of her.
"Those angels regarded everything except the Holy See as heretics. The members of the Shadow Sect were slaughtered, and even the Griffin Heart King who selected the state religion was also condemned by the angels. Since then, the Shadow Sect has fallen into disrepair, and finally used another kind The form, the Thieves Guild, continues in Elasia."
