Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"Lilia, something terrible has happened! The regional headquarters of the Evangelical Fellowship has gone mad; it seems they've sent hundreds of people to infiltrate Mona City!"

“I know!” Lilia gave Fiona a strange look.

"You know... wait, you know?" Fiona looked at Lilia in astonishment. "How could you know?"

Lynn's expression immediately turned subtle upon hearing this:

"Fiona, is it possible... that Lilia is a deacon of the Evangelical Fellowship?"

Upon hearing this, Fiona slapped her forehead:

"That's right!!"

"Lilia, you seem to be a high-ranking member!"

Lilia, standing nearby, muttered, "What kind of high-ranking person is a butler?"

But Fiona didn't care, and instead asked:

"Do you know what the situation is like here at the Gospel Church?"

Lynn looked over at this moment: "She's been following me these past two days, I haven't seen her receive any messages?"

At this moment, Lilia scratched her cheek and said:

"Coincidentally, I do know a little bit of the inside story."

"I'm just a bit gossipy."

Gossip? Lynn looked over curiously: "What gossip?"

"It seems..." Lilia said with a subtle expression, "Didn't President Marco of Mona City go to the regional headquarters and even take action?"

"Some guy who was parachuted in over there thought he had guts and wanted to force him to submit..."

"That's what my informant at regional headquarters said."

Lynn pursed his lips, his expression as blank as Luffy from One Piece, and turned to look at Fiona, who was equally bewildered.

Who are you trying to force to submit?

Marco?!

"Oh no!" Lynn exclaimed, stunned. "This time we've run into the most insane of all!"

Chapter 138 They are very humble and chaste!

Giant Protection Association, first floor lobby bar.

"What? You've got your eye on me?"

Carrying a 'large glass' of rye beer, the tipsy Marco was completely dumbfounded.

When he realized what was happening, he immediately slapped his thigh and burst into laughter, saying:

"Hahaha!"

"I thought everyone at the regional headquarters was blind, but it turns out there are some capable people there!"

"Who has such good taste?"

Seeing Marco's happy smile, Lynn said to Lilia, who was disguised as a woman, with a look of certainty:

"See? I told you this old man would be happy, didn't I?"

Wearing a bat mask, Lilia couldn't help but complain:

"Although you're right... weren't you the one who was most shocked at first, Lynn?"

Lynn, annoyed by the rebuttal, glared at Lilia and said:

"Nonsense, anyone would be shocked to hear that a woman has taken a liking to this old cabbage."

"What do you mean by 'old clams'?" Marco, his face flushed from drinking too much, glanced at Lynn and said, "Are you just jealous of my good looks!"

Lynn almost burst out laughing when he heard this, but he managed to hold it in before asking:

"President Marco, don't you think there's something wrong with this?"

"What's the problem? I'm so handsome, it's normal for someone to have a crush on me!"

Marco touched his bald head, wondering if a fly had landed on it; it was a little itchy.

"By the way, what does that discerning lady look like? Do you have a picture of her?"

Lilia glanced at Marco with disdain, then shook her head and said:

"Please spare me."

"You've been to the regional headquarters before, so you should know how difficult it is to send images out from there, right?"

"Then let's talk about looks." Marco chuckled, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Is she a great beauty?"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked around. Realizing his granddaughter Odelle wasn't there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm not bad looking, and I can buy beauty filters."

"Old man, are you serious?" Lynn looked at Marco in shock.

This kind of rumor sounds suspicious, doesn't it?

Seeing this, Lilia said speechlessly, "She's fairly good-looking, and probably around 40 years old?"

"Human or demi-human?" Marco pressed again, then added, "If it's demi-human, that's fine, but a human woman is not."

"A 40-year-old human woman, especially one who frequents the Gospel Church, is a terrifying figure comparable to a human noblewoman."

"I'm not quite sure, she doesn't have any demi-human features, she looks like a human woman..." Lilia finished speaking and suddenly realized, "Old man, are you trying to trick me?"

In just this question and answer, Lilia almost identified the person who had her eye on Marco.

Given this old man's connections in the Gospel Church, those words he just said are probably enough for him to find three generations of other people's families.

"You were the one who started this fun," Marco said calmly, holding his wine glass. "But thanks to you, at least I've figured out which guys might be targeting me."

"You've taken a liking to me? Ha, you're eyeing the essence that this old man has guarded for over fifty years, aren't you?"

Marco gave a cold laugh, then said thoughtfully:

"A guy who would do something like that..."

"The school of humility? Or the school of chastity?"

Hearing this, Lynn, filled with curiosity, pulled over a small round stool and leaned closer:

What are the arguments of these two schools of thought?

Seeing Lynn's curiosity, Ma didn't hesitate and explained directly:

“Within the Evangelical Fellowship, in addition to our local branches and regional headquarters, there is a higher level, namely the Evangelical Council, which consists of fourteen schools of thought.”

"To put it another way, they are the real 'Evangelical Fellowship'."

"Only formal members of the fourteen schools can be truly considered members of the Evangelical Fellowship."

"We are at most peripheral branches. Even if a group of us die, it's nothing to feel sorry about."

Lynn nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this:

"Then how do we distinguish between formal and informal members?"

Marco took a sip of his rye beer and said calmly:

"How do you distinguish them? See if they have accepted the 'gospel' of the school of thought."

"Those who accept the gospel of this sect will awaken some special skills."

"This is how the evangelical church distinguishes between formal and informal members."

"As for the Chastity School, as the name suggests, their chastity gospel has a secret technique that can seize the power of others by taking away their so-called 'chastity'."

"This school of thought has always liked to seduce saintesses of the church, princesses of the kingdom, or well-known widows and widows, and then steal their purity by slandering them, thereby enhancing their own power."

Marco was still annoyed at this point, muttering to himself:

“I’m a man who has only been married once in my life. Those bastards probably see this as a kind of 'chastity' that can be destroyed.”

"If it's them, I estimate that soon the news that 'Marco, the president of the Giant Protection Association, is actually a pervert who frequents Rose Street and preys on young girls' will be all over the city."

“If they can ruin my reputation, they can gain a special power to strengthen themselves through the gospel.”

"So if you hear any rumors about people around you in the future, you should be careful. It might just be these bastards causing trouble."

"This ability sounds kind of disgusting..."

Lynn shuddered, feeling that the chastity faction of the Evangelical Fellowship seemed a bit too insidious.

So you specialize in psychological warfare, huh?

"What about the Humble Faction? What are the characteristics of their gospel?"

"The school of humility..." Marco sneered, "A bunch of shameless bastards."

Lilia nodded in agreement, then, seeing Lynn's curiosity, added:

"The greatest benefit of the humility school is 'shared honor'."

"Those who advocate humility are the most shameless and the most adept at stabbing people in the back."

“They will go to great lengths to establish connections with well-known and powerful individuals; internally, they call this the ‘power of humility.’”

"Once you are connected with them, the gospel of humility will share the power of the person you are connected with."

"Simply put, the gospel of humility is a shameless skill that, once it gets involved with you and becomes your friend, classmate, lover, wife, or the like, can take away half of your strength."

"After taking away half of your power, they will try every means to kill you so that they can keep half of the power for themselves."

"After all, the Gospel of Humility can be dispelled by some powerful priests, but once the person who has been deprived of half of his power dies, even the most powerful priest cannot dispel the Gospel of Humility from a dead person."

"Does he really have that much of a shamelessness?"

Lynn scratched his head, feeling that the members of the Chastity School and the Humility School of Evangelical Fellowship were indeed quite troublesome.

Marco then let out a burp, and then said with a grin:

"Don't worry, taking away half the manpower is something only a clerk can do. As for those people below, if they can get 2%, they'll be big shots."

"These humble people are disgusting, but they're relatively easy to guard against."

"The church has pastors in major towns, royal capitals, and big cities who are specially trained in skills related to the gospel of humility. If you encounter any problems, just look for these pastors."

Lynn nodded knowingly. He didn't know the pastor, but he could still strike up a conversation with a reformed bishop.

"By the way, what school of thought do we belong to?"

Upon hearing this, Marco couldn't help but glance at Lynn:

"you?"

"You don't need to even think about it, it's a genuine case of the Arrogant School!"

"Whether you look at it from my perspective or from Knightworth's, they are all members of the Pride School."

"Hehe, after all, the first generation Nightwalker was the 'saint' of the Pride School back then."

Lynn's expression became subtle at this moment.

The ancestor of the Red Dragon family, Nightwolka, was a saint of the Pride School.

Good heavens, so Knightworth is a dragon who went ashore and reformed?

Just as Lynn was in shock, Odelle's shouts came from the doorway:

"Grandpa, there are a few people here who came specifically to see you."

"You came specifically to see me?"

Marco, who was about to take another sip, paused for a moment, then shouted:

"Just say I'm not here."

Lynn, Lilia, and Fiona immediately looked at Marco with strange expressions.

Marco then realized he had said the wrong thing and angrily said:
