Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

"host!"

The believer was terrified. He knelt down with incredible speed and barely managed to catch the statue with his clasped hands.

That's great, that's great, that's...

Halfway there, the statue bounced off his palm, flew into the air, and slammed heavily into his face, leaving him covered in blood and knocking out a tooth.

"This……"

Loria felt that she vaguely understood.

The statue kept trembling because it was trying to avoid the believer.

As it turned out, she was right.

The believer covered his mouth and nose as he chased after the statue, which trembled and rolled on the ground. He ran around Loria four or five times, trying to pick it up again, but no matter how hard he tried, he was always just a hair's breadth away.

"Lord, why won't you accept me?"

"Lord, I am your most devout believer."

"Lord..."

As he shouted, his voice became choked with sobs. His stumbling, blood-soaked appearance made Loria feel a pang of heartache.

She couldn't help but say, "Young man, is it possible—and I mean possible—that this so-called God of Fairness you worship is actually a false god, that he has no real power and is just lusting after your body?"

The believer ignored Loria's words and continued to tirelessly chase after the rolling statue.

Once, he tripped over a stone, broke his nose, and lost his last front tooth, but he still got up and continued chasing.

He didn't stop until Loria took a few steps forward and stomped on the demon clown statue.

"Wake up, this thing is..."

The believer suddenly became as ferocious as a demon, glaring fiercely at Loria: "You are blaspheming! You are blaspheming!"

At this moment, he completely abandoned his previous fear of Loria and rushed forward without regard for anything else.

"..."

Cults are harmful.

Loria knocked the believer to the ground with a single punch, then grabbed the trembling statue in her hand.

After she took control, the statue shook even more violently, even more so than the massager she had bought.

But Loria is Loria after all, and she easily withstood it.

She brought the statue close to her eyes, and as she moved it, strange things began to happen.

With a cracking sound, the statue split in two, and the trembling stopped once it was completely broken in two.

"What's the matter?"

Loria saw a wisp of black mist drift out from the center of the crack in the statue, but it disappeared into the air in an instant and vanished into nothingness.

She examined the statue carefully for a while but found nothing unusual.

Left with no other choice, Loria could only try to distract herself.

There are quite a few things around this altar, so she can take a look.

Island Nation: 11. Posting pictures really does boost stats! [Two-in-one]

Gatherings were once held around this altar.

Loria took a couple of steps and found a trash bag on the ground with unfinished food stuck to it.

Apart from the garbage bags, there was nothing else on the ground, and even her sensitive nose couldn't detect any trace of the astringent smell.

"It seems that although these people who believe in that demon are also crazy, they don't hold 'open ceremonies' every day like the crazy and indulgent goddess cult."

Loria walked behind the altar and found a book.

She flipped through it casually, but unfortunately, she couldn't understand what was written in the book at all.

I guess it's a phrase recited during a sacrificial ceremony.

Loria shook her head, put the book into her inventory, and planned to go back and have the guild leader find someone knowledgeable to take a look.

She searched around and finally found something interesting under the stone benches around the altar.

"journal!"

Before her lay a crumpled notebook, the first page of which read September 27, 826 of the Dawn Calendar.

"Let me see, it's July of the year 829 in the Dawn Calendar. What's the date in July again?"

Forget it, that kind of thing isn't important at all.

The important thing is that she knows this diary was started more than two years ago, which is not far from the time when the chairman left the military academy and came to Stream Town alone.

[After the Black Island incident, the principal ordered the Training Forest to be sealed off. This morning, I met Teacher Jose, who said he found a strange statue while exercising outside the Training Forest and he plans to hand it over to the principal.]

The diary is short, but the things it records are all very important.

On September 28, the diarist met with Professor José again. Professor José seemed very depressed. When the diarist asked him why, he only said that he was thinking about a very serious problem.

On October 4th, the truth began to be revealed, because Teacher Jose took the initiative to find the owner of the diary and talked to him about how to keep the efforts and rewards of ordinary people equitable.

This is a big problem.

At least that's how it seems to Loria.

In this world with extraordinary powers, she couldn't even imagine how to achieve this goal.

However, according to his diary, Jose thought the problem was very simple at that time.

Currently, everyone worships the goddesses of dawn, wind, and sky. In my opinion, the goddesses' indulgence is the root cause of the world's current state of decay. Therefore, to eradicate these evils, a new god must be introduced—the god of justice!

[Whenever the God of Fairness descends, the foundation of the Goddess's faith will crumble, fairness will instantly unfold across the land, and the God of Fairness will surely lead this world into a new era!]

Such words would be considered extremely treasonous.

Although the Goddess Cult never forces ordinary people to believe in the goddess, if anyone dares to claim that they want to overthrow the goddess, they will definitely be dealt with severely.

"Let's see if your words are tougher, or our swords are tougher!"

Instead of reporting José's strange remarks, the diarist nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Loria knew that the diarist had been infected by Professor Jose.

He not only approved of Professor José's whimsical plan, but also put in tremendous effort for it.

From that day on, he began to talk to people everywhere, just like his teacher Jose. He buried the spell in everyday conversations and influenced the perception of his target in a subtle and pervasive way.

Once the target's mental state shows obvious changes, he then reveals his true intentions and turns the target into his ally.

This process is usually quite slow, taking at least half a month to transform a goal. In addition, with so many people and eyes around in the school, their actions will always encounter various setbacks.

But with each new target they convert, they gain a new lobbyist.

So, relying on this method of spreading the word, one begets two, two begets four, four begets eight, they successfully gained more than six hundred companions in just over two years.

"Wait, more than six hundred?"

Loria's eyes widened.

She wasn't sure exactly how many people were in the school, but these kinds of higher education institutions always trained students in small, elite numbers. Six hundred people could very well be half the number of students in a non-commissioned officer school, or even more.

"If the president and I had arrived any later, would the entire school have fallen into their hands, and even the principal have been taken over?"

This scene is terrifying.

Graduates of the military academy are all assigned to work in various key departments of the empire.

The world is currently in the hands of the older generation, but the future will ultimately be controlled by today's young people.

These people lie dormant in those key departments, continuing to spread their demonic beliefs. If they remain undetected, they could change the entire empire from top to bottom, and the upheaval they unleash could be even greater than that of the current Hidden Head.

"What exactly is this demon up to?"

Now that she had discovered its underhanded tactics, Loria, who had a grudge against it, naturally wouldn't let it go unchecked.

She continued flipping through the diary.

The diary records some rather simple rituals, as well as some interesting things in life.

Near the end, she found some interesting things.

As a prophet who guides the God of Fairness to descend, one has the opportunity to enter the Ruins and gain infinite life after death, but only if one develops a sufficient number of followers for the God of Fairness.

Believers are not merely offerings of incense to God; they are like lighthouses. Their existence guides God in the direction of the world. The more believers there are, the brighter the lighthouse's light shines, allowing God to see the world more clearly. Only in this way can God better deliver divine pronouncements.

"I see."

Loria nodded repeatedly.

The analogy was quite apt, but there was still one thing she didn't understand.

If this theory is correct, the goddesses of dawn, wind, and sky, who have the most followers, should be able to frequently send down divine pronouncements.

But according to her understanding, over the years, the goddesses of dawn, wind and sky have sent very few oracles, the last one dating back more than a hundred years.

"Is the reason for such a big difference that this so-called God of Fairness is a fake, that it is not a god but a demon?"

Loria put the diary away.

The believer she knocked to the ground was in very poor condition.

She actually held back a lot of force when she struck, and the punch was not powerful enough to kill him, but the believer's face turned ashen, his limbs went limp, and his eyes were vacant, as if he was about to die at any moment.

Loria only heard him muttering something when he got closer.

"Lord, why have you forsaken me?"

"Lord, were you in fear just now?"

"Lord, take me away! Take me away!"

Loria frowned slightly; she felt like she was watching a fandom go crazy.

"Get up."

Loria stepped on the believer's hand with the heel of her high heel, but the believer remained unmoved.
