Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Feneport City, the headquarters of the Church of the Mother Earth.

A lady in a white dress and with fair skin entered the busy church and walked through the large prayer hall as if strolling in a garden until her way was blocked by a figure at the porch in front of her. It was an old man with slightly curly black hair, a high nose and deep eyes, wearing brown archbishop's robes.

That is the Archbishop of the Church of Mother Earth, Loreto.

He stood by the window, blocking most of the light that was pouring in.

The old man bowed according to the etiquette of the Church of the Earth and said respectfully:
"Good day, Lady Priscilla."

Priscilla looked at the old man who blocked her way and said softly:
"I want to see Roland."

Archbishop Loreto still smiled and responded:
"The mistress has been waiting for a long time. Your Excellency Priscilla, please follow me."

Without stopping for a moment, the two made their way to the back of the church and into a quiet reading room.

In the reading room, a lady with green shoulder-length hair sat at the table, holding a holy book of the Church of Mother Earth in her hands, weighing every word carefully.

"Madam, Lady Priscilla is here to visit."

Loreto stopped not far from the green-haired lady and said respectfully.

The systems within the major churches are generally the same, but there are major differences in the titles of those who receive the triple crown.

In the Church of the Storm, the Triple Crown bearer is the Pope;

In the Church of Night, the triple crown bearer is the pope;

In the Church of Mars, the Triple Crowned One is the Patriarch;
In the Steam Church, under the influence of Emperor Roselle, the Triple Crowned Ones have been renamed Great Sages.

The reason why the Triple Crowned One is called the Great Sage is not only because of Emperor Roselle's bad taste, but also because it is a theft of the symbol of the Hidden Sage to some extent.

In the Church of the Earth Mother, the holder of the triple crown is usually called the Apostle.

Within the church, believers usually address her as Madam, Madam Roland.

The lady with long green hair raised her head slightly, and her eyes met Loreto who was standing respectfully not far away. Then she quickly passed Loreto and her gaze fell on Priscilla who was wearing a white long dress and looked like an ice elf.

"Good day, Lady Priscilla." He greeted with a smile.

Loreto respectfully backed away from the reading room, and before leaving he thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.

Priscilla walked over to the green-haired lady, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Priscilla glanced at the holy book in his hand and suddenly asked:

"How long has it been since you received the oracle from the Earth Mother Goddess?"

Roland closed the holy book and said calmly:

"The revelation of the Mother Goddess is in Her holy scriptures, in Her teachings. Anything else is heresy."

"You'd better really think so." Priscilla said softly, and her words seemed to imply something else.

Roland was not upset by Priscilla's offense, but just looked at her with a smile.

Priscilla didn't say much, but just put a holy book on the table and pushed it towards Roland.

"Fool?"

Roland looked at the holy book with the cover titled "The Words of Fools" with a look of surprise and confusion.

Priscilla explained succinctly:

"Using this book, The Words of the Holy Spirit, I will rewrite the contents of the creation myth in the Holy Scriptures of Mother Earth."

After a pause, she added:
"This is the oracle of the Mother Goddess."

Roland's eyes flickered slightly, and he opened the "Words of Fools", looking at the content about "The First Fire Creation", and whispered:

"Something about the creation myth?"

The difficulty of the oracle was not great. It just replaced the Creator with the First Flame, which would not have a big impact on the faith of the Church of the Mother Earth. The only problem might be that Roland himself did not receive the oracle of the Mother Earth...

Roland's expression changed slightly, as if he understood something.

If this happened in other churches, people might suspect that Priscilla was falsely spreading the oracle. But in the Church of Mother Earth, this happened in a reasonable way.

Because in the Church of Mother Earth, there is a taboo that is not a secret:

Whether it was the clergy of the church or the believers of the Earth Mother Goddess, as long as they claimed to have received divine revelation, they were all tempted by the devil, without exception.

The official statement is that there are many evil beings in this world who pretend to be gods, seduce clergy, and deceive believers.

And because the two main paths of the Church of Mother Earth are related to life, it is affected more seriously than other churches. From time to time, people will go astray, try forbidden life experiments, and degenerate little by little.

In order to curb this trend, the Church of Mother Earth, under the guidance of the Mother Goddess's will, reorganized the church from a very early stage and established the two major systems of those who are blessed by God and those who are favored by God.

The God-favored ones refer to the clergy who are favored by the Mother Goddess in the two paths of 'Earth' and 'Moon', and the God-favored ones refer to those favored by the Mother Goddess from other paths outside. The latter are less affected by the devil and evil gods, and can help the former to identify the truth of the oracle.

Under such circumstances, even a decree issued by the Holy See must be countersigned by at least one divinely favored being, otherwise it will be deemed invalid.

On the other hand, if the oracle of the Mother Goddess is preached by the God-favored, it can be issued without the consent of the Holy See. And if the Holy See receives a completely different oracle from the Mother Goddess, the oracle received by the God-favored will also be the main one, and the Holy See itself will be suspected of being contaminated by the evil god.

Therefore, facing the "oracle" told by Priscilla, the "God's Favored One", Pope Roland had almost no doubts.

Roland closed the book "The Words of Fools" and said solemnly:

"I will give the order, and all the existing holy books should be replaced within a month."

Priscilla shook her head slightly after hearing this, and said softly under Roland's puzzled gaze:
"The compilation work can start immediately, but the replacement can be implemented after the war is over."

Roland reminded:
“It may take a long time for the war to end.”

"It won't be long." Priscilla's tone was calm.

Roland remained silent. Perhaps this was also an oracle from the Mother Goddess, but it was a pity that she had not received it.

"Okay." Roland nodded silently.

"And one more thing."

Priscilla said softly:
"I have a friend from the Kingdom of Loen, and she needs a batch of food."

When Roland heard the words "Lune Kingdom", his expression remained unchanged. He nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, let Loreto take care of this."

The Feynaport Kingdom and the Loen Kingdom were at war, and selling any supplies to the Loen Kingdom at this time was considered treason, but for Roland, these things were meaningless because He was an angel and the Pope of the Church of Mother Earth.

In a luxurious villa in Feynaport City, Audrey blinked:

"That'll be fine?"

Carla asked with a smile:
"How much trouble do you think it could be?"

"Ah."

Audrey remained silent. With the ability of an angel, it was of course very easy for her to obtain some food. Even though she was only a demigod, she could do it easily.

But Priscilla went to talk to the Pope of the Church of Mother Earth in person!

Did the Holy Father just give in? Or did they reach some secret agreement?

Is all this really just for some food?

Audrey immediately denied the thought that popped up in her mind. This matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed!
It was very likely that Priscilla had already had some connection with the Church of Mother Earth, and the food she asked for might just be a gift. And the discussion between Priscilla and the Patriarch of the Church of Mother Earth was probably related to Carla - she should have thought of it earlier. Although Carla had been very idle, the angel was not idle enough to accompany her to Feynaport.

After all, buying food was just her personal behavior, and it was only to satisfy her own moral needs. For Carla and Priscilla, who had lived long enough, the morals she adhered to might not be important at all. In that case, why did Carla have to accompany her to Feynaport?

There is no doubt that Carla came here for her own purposes, and helping herself was just a coincidence.

But when did the Church of Mother Earth establish contact with them? And did the Church of the God of War, an ally of the Church of Mother Earth, know about this?

As things became more confusing, Audrey felt more depressed.

Because she suddenly realized that the judgments she made based on her own cognition were probably wrong!
-
Backlund, West District, in Audra's villa.

Emlyn White got off his carriage, looked at the sun obscured by clouds and mist, and put on a half-high silk hat.

On the way to the villa, he gently turned the ring on his left hand, as if to reveal his identity.

The ring was translucent, as if made of reddish amber, with a blood-red gem inlaid on the top.
It was the reward Emlyn had received long ago: 'Lilith's Ring'.

It is a ring made by the ancestor himself in ancient times. Although it does not contain divinity, it has very powerful and magical powers.

After becoming a demigod, Emlyn was able to suppress the 'blood thirst' that came with the ring to a certain extent. He only needed to drink human blood from the three-collection blood bottle every day to no longer suffer the corresponding negative effects. Therefore, in order to reflect his special identity as the one favored by the ancestor, he began to wear this ring for a long time.

Emlyn stepped through the gate and walked towards the owner of the house with his head held high, Casimi Odra, a middle-aged gentleman who had just been promoted to the rank of Viscount of the Vampire Clan.

For the vampires whose average lifespan is over 500 years, Casimir, who is only over 200 years old and already a viscount, can be regarded as a young talent, especially since his grandfather is Count Nibais.

And considering that Earl Nibais is already old, after another two or three hundred years, perhaps he will have the opportunity to inherit Earl Nibais' extraordinary characteristics.

However, that was several hundred years later.

And now...

Casimi looked at Emlyn who walked up to him arrogantly, lowered his head with a complicated expression, and spoke in a low voice:

"Good day, Count."

Emlyn looked forward and nodded imperceptibly:
"I'm going to see Master Olmer."

Hearing the impolite order, Casimi controlled his facial expression, and his look became more complicated.

He was already a viscount at over 200 years old. He was a young talent of the blood clan, and Emlyn was only in his forties, but he was already an earl! An existence at the same level as his grandfather, and he still had at least a thousand years of life left.

It can be foreseen that in the next thousand years, I will have to respectfully call him "Your Excellency" every time I meet him!
Thinking of this, Casimi, who used to look down on Emlyn, became a little out of control.

Casimi suppressed his emotions with difficulty, walked in front to lead Emlyn, and followed the stairs all the way to the underground area.

During this time, Emlyn took off his hat.

Casimi noticed this detail and his expression remained complicated.

In front of the Duke, Emlyn still showed due respect, but only to the Duke. If he was meeting his grandfather this time, he probably wouldn't be so polite.

After passing through a series of secret doors, Emlyn and Casimi finally arrived in an iron-gray hall.

Casimi glanced at the vibrant tomb from a distance and respectfully left the hall.

Only Emlyn was left.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Emlyn faced the tomb, respectfully handed over the Holy Book in his hand, and said:
“This is the ‘Words of Fool’ compiled by Mr. Fool. Please take a look.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the book "Words of Fools" automatically flew towards the grave and disappeared into the soil.

After a long while, Duke Olmer's slightly emotional voice came from the tomb:
"You did a great job. I have a task for you."

"What mission?"

Emlyn's expression suddenly became serious.

Olmer's rich voice came from the grave:

"Using the creation myth in this book, The Words of Fools, as a basis, compile a chronicle for the tribe."

"what?"

Emlyn was stunned for a long time, looking a little embarrassed.

As a count, isn't it a bit...

The vampire duke Olmer in the tomb said slowly:
"This is the order of the First Ancestor."

"The First Ancestor?!"

Emlyn's expression suddenly became serious, and he said without hesitation:
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. It is my duty and I will do my best to fulfill it."

"very good."

Olmer laughed and said:
"This isn't a difficult task. The clan has already compiled a partial chronology, and only the part about creation needs to be completed. You only need to compile this part. You can even copy down the contents of the Sacred Words directly, but there is a prerequisite, which is that you must clarify the special status of the blood clan in it."

"In addition, the vampires who once entered the dream world with you can provide you with assistance."

"The special status of the vampire race?"

Emlyn's expression was a little subtle. If he wanted to achieve this, the easiest way would be to find a sufficiently noble 'ancestor' for the vampires.

But the noble races recorded in the First Fire Creation Records are nothing more than the Gods and the Witches.

But the question is, how to connect them with the vampires?
