Chapter 377

It's different from the previous "battle" with Nicholas that was similar to pushing and shoving.

Even though Bernardino is the Pope, Paper Ji showed no mercy when he attacked him.

A large part of the reason for this is that the bell ringer, who is the "god of terminal illness and imminent death", is a false god without any backing, a prosperous church, or a master god.

Although Bell Ringer and Zhi Ji are false gods who ascended in the same era, they are not familiar with each other.

And it’s different from accepting Yaweng’s invitation and being promoted to a slave god on the day of asylum... Although the bell ringer has been invited by the three righteous gods, the mother-in-law, the quiet lady and the moth mother, in the end, he did not accept any A bunch of olive branches.

Being invited by the three righteous gods is not because of his good character or strong ability.

Just because its domain is quite critical...and the classification is vague.

Zhi Ji still remembered that the book of truth of the Bell Ringer was called "The Grey Blood Theory". It contains truths about disease, apoptosis, blood, frailty, aging, fate, and many other areas. It is a very powerful book of truths.

In the end, when the bell-ringer completed his sublimation, he chose "predetermined death" as his core concept.

So he eventually sublimated into "the god of terminal illness and immortality", the "bell ringer" who sounded the death knell for the dying mortals.

It was a loner false god who was eccentric, lonely and had few friends. Not only did He never create churches on his own initiative, but even those who created churches for Him would not receive any additional benefits and protection—even the imprint of the Holy Light was rarely given to believers, but was completely purified. After the nightmare, you can get the corresponding holy light imprint.

Generally speaking, false gods will issue holy light imprints to their satisfied believers. After all, the Church of Pseudo-Gods does not have so many rules and regulations, and there is no fixed territory, so they will act more freely.

For believers who are satisfied with them, and even mortals and extraordinary people who are not their own believers, they will also give some imprints of the Holy Light. As long as it is pleasing to the eye, there is nothing that cannot be done.

After all, the essence of the imprint of the Holy Light is the authorization of the gods to the power of the believers. The reason why holy light imprints are given after purifying the nightmare is actually because the gods get some benefits after purifying the nightmare and give the priests corresponding rewards.

Just like buying raw materials and preparing for secondary processing, the factory gives the seller of raw materials a certain amount of remuneration.

The imprint of the Holy Light is just "currency".

It's not something that can only be obtained through nightmares.

Even the Church of the Orthodox God can obtain the Imprint of Holy Light by completing tasks within the Church.

It’s just that the Church of the Righteous God must have rules and clear rewards and punishments. Every imprint of the Holy Light given is recorded on the Pope's side... Even gods cannot grant gifts at will, and can only reward people in this church. Otherwise, it will interfere with the authority and work of the Pope.

In other words—in the Orthodox Church, the gods themselves are not involved in the management, and the entire management is entrusted to the Pope, and even the cardinals are difficult to contact.

It's like a celebrity's relationship with his fan base.

And so from God.

It's not just about getting shelter from God.

Their Lord God will also directly assign part of the staff from the main church to help them take care of the believers and priests. It's like signing a contract with a big company... You don't need to worry about the follow-up operations.

This is also the reason why the authority of the Pope of the righteous God is much higher than that of the king—

——The Pope and Saint of the True God are the true rulers of this world.

And wild false gods are completely different.

The false gods themselves will directly participate in the management of the church.

Apart from the fact that the Pope, as a keeper of secrets, cannot easily betray the false gods... even cardinals are likely to defect; and they have no rules for selecting cardinals, they basically look at the eyes of the Pope or false gods.

In other words, it is pleasing to the eye.

Like the tragic writer, or the pale princess.

And considering the need to relocate at any time, the church of false gods is extremely small - most of the priests (not believers) who can false gods are less than three figures. From this point of view, the rotten man is also a wonderful work among the false gods...

And the bell ringer is a wonderful person in another sense.

But he didn't distance himself from his followers because of his adherence to the rules...

But because of his extremely eccentric character.

He communicates with no one other than necessary socialization—and does not expect his followers to help him.

He even did the act of maintaining his own domain by himself.

There is a folklore that when mortals are tortured to death by a terminal illness, or are about to die without disease, they will occasionally hear three death knells from outside the door before going to sleep the night before they die. ring. And no one can hear the bell except the dying.

This is the pity of the bell ringer to the dying.

He revealed the final death, giving man the last day to write his will and account for the funeral.

This is why, on the foggy continent, it is considered very impolite for those ignorant children to ring the bell or ring the bell in front of the elderly or the sick.

And because of this, the clergy of the Bell Ringer are very unpopular.

But even so, He has some fanatical believers, who believe in "people are mortal", spontaneously make bronze bells with bronze handles, rely on magic to judge those who are about to die, and go to their door to ring the bell.

——And even if it did, the bell ringer would not give any reward.

Because what He himself believed in was that the end would come.

No help needed.

No propaganda needed.

No resistance required.

- So he doesn't need any believers either.

He even gave himself the name "Bell Ringer". You know, "guy" in the context of the United Kingdom is actually a rather bad derogatory term, referring to "low and mean people".

For example, the little guys refer to the poor boys who steal and rob; the boat guys refer to those who drive black ships to smuggle goods and kidnap women.

The believers of the bell ringer are even less popular than the believers of the woman holding the cup - as long as you see those who hold bronze bells, wrapped in bandages and wearing black hoods enter the village without saying a word, It means someone is going to die.

Although the bell ringer is not an evil god, he has never done anything illegal.

But just not flattering.

After He rejected the invitation of the three righteous gods, no gods could become friends with him. However, there are several gods who are irritated by his strange temper.

Pope to be a bell ringer...not necessarily a very good identity.

Consider from this perspective.

Annan did not think that it was the bell ringer behind Bernardino who was looking for the Book of the Sky Train.

"—So, what is the purpose of your coming to me?"

Facing Bernardino, whose spirit body was completely annihilated by Zhi Ji and himself bound by countless silver chains, Annan explained all his analysis.

He stood behind Zhi Ji and asked calmly, "The Book of the Heavenly Vehicle is with me. What are you going to do?"

"I warn you, don't play Annan's idea."

Before he could answer, Zhi Ji warned: "Otherwise, even the bell ringer can't save you."

And Bernardino just showed a weird smile.

He smiled and asked, "You have to worry about my words...

"Why don't you just kill me?"
