To be honest, if you eliminate the last bit of "missionary" preaching, Gao Wen has a good impression of Veronica. This saint princess does have attractive and unbearable qualities: she is modest, polite, gentle, and easy. These qualities are rare qualities in the nobles of today's era. Moreover, Gao Wen can see that her approachability is not a disguise, nor is it just aimed at herself when she passed by the messy construction sites in the camp. When she saw those busy and vulgar civilians and serfs, she always kept smiling and facing each other, no contempt or barrier in her words and deeds or the expression in her eyes. The Earl Cohen next to her looked completely disgusted and impatient.

Moreover, even if Veronica has amazing acting skills and pretends to be close to the common people, it seems to be quite difficult in Gao Wen's opinion. After all, the nobles in this era would not consider the need to be close to the common people at all, and they were too lazy to pretend.

But after all, Veronica was also a believer who converted to the God of the Holy Light early, and now it seems that this is not a simple political transaction as preached by the outside world. She believed and devoted herself to that sect, and even committed herself a little fanatical.

Gao Wen is not resistant to religion itself, especially when there is a real power of faith in this world. He regards religion as an inevitable and natural phenomenon here. Since those gods have more or less protected the mortals under his name, he will not have any unreasonable disgust towards the gods, but he is a little unable to accept Veronica's missionary attitude... After all, he still has the attitude of "respecting ghosts and gods away" in his previous life.

Veronica keenly noticed Gao Wen's change in attitude, but she did not think much about it, but regarded it as a normal sense of vigilance of a nobleman when foreign forces intervened in her own rule. After all, no matter what, half of her title as "saint princess" is a princess, and she is more or less a royal family. Therefore, on this topic, she just clicks on it.

Finally, it was time for these distinguished guests from the royal capital to set off and leave.

The White Oak on the banks of the Baishui River was ready to set off. Gao Wen watched the Saint Princess and her two entourages walk towards the springboard leading to the deck, but before stepping onto the deck, Veronica suddenly stopped and turned around: "Duke Cecil, I actually have a more presumptuous question to ask you, but I just haven't dared to say it out loud. Can you satisfy the little curiosity of my junior at this moment?"

Gao Wen nodded with a smile. He felt that his expression at this moment could be described as kind as a description of his ancestors in front of these "juniors", and he was too serious: "If you have any questions, ask, as long as I know and do not involve privacy and confidentiality."

"I don't know if this is about privacy," Veronica smiled slightly. "Have you ever seen a god in the years you...returned to the Kingdom of the Dead?"

Although she just smiled faintly, Gao Wen always felt that the smile still had some kind of religious fanaticism. He laughed awkwardly and spread his hands: "I haven't seen it before, probably because I died thoroughly back then. The gods didn't think I was a dead person at all, so I just ignored it."

"Is that true..." Veronica seemed a little disappointed, and she shook her head thoughtfully, "Thank you for your answer, I will pray for you and your territory before the Lord."

After saying this, the saint princess took Earl Cohen and the goddess Sandy who was shining in Gowen's sight from beginning to end. The figures of the three soon disappeared behind the White Oak ship's side.

The fleet left, Gao Wen and others walked down the dock and returned to the camp.

On the way, Hetty, who took the time to see him off, seemed a little worried. Gao Wen saw it and asked her, "What are you thinking?"

Hetty opened his mouth a few times, but couldn't help but say, "Ancestor, I heard that you rejected His Highness Veronica's kindness to help you build the Church of Holy Light?"

"Is it good intention..." Gao Wen pursed his lips and looked at Hedy's eyes, "What do you think is wrong?"

"The priests of the Church of Holy Light have the ability to heal and soothe people," said Hetty. "There is a shortage of medical staff in the territory now. Although Mr. Pittman is a qualified druid, he has most of his energy to be devoted to agriculture. The prepared potions have been in short supply for a long time, especially the recent battle has caused many wounded people. The medicines stored in the territory have almost been used up. They have to go to Tanzan to purchase urgently. If there are one or two priests of the God of Holy Light, or even just trainees, it is enough to alleviate this situation."

"Yes," Rebecca next to him couldn't help but speak, "Our territory can't afford to support a formal church now. It's not worthwhile to hire a priest. His Royal Highness is willing to contribute to help us build a church in person, which can save a lot of money! Moreover, the priest sent by His Royal Highness is definitely not the kind of priest in a small country church, so it's more cost-effective."

"I don't like the Holy Light Sect," Amber muttered behind Gao Wen, "They are divine and rigid and stubborn. I believe in the goddess of the Dark Night as if I have born to kill their whole family, and they are cold-eyed whenever I go..."

Rebecca gave Amber a blank look: "Isn't that because you ran to the Church of Holy Light all day long to steal things?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I've been discovered when I steal something?!" Amber stared, "They obviously didn't find that the thing was stolen by anyone and they were asking me for trouble. That's not a problem?"

Gao Wen and the two big granddaughters were stunned, and the half-elves' invincible logic instantly killed three times.

Then Gao Wen decided to completely ignore the shame of all things: "Of course I know Veronica's advice will make us a good deal, but I also have my own considerations. Do you really think that it's as simple as building a church and sending a pastor?"

Heti is not really just a stubborn like Rebecca. She quickly reacted: "You mean... I'm afraid there will be shadows of the royal family and the Cathedral of the Holy Light? Probably not... Princess Veronica's integrity and devotion are well known to everyone. She believes in the God of the Holy Light and will never let interest relations pollute her faith..."

"She doesn't, it doesn't mean others won't. Haven't you seen the people she brought? One is the high-level goddess of the Holy Light Cathedral, who was well-rooted. Although she didn't say a few words throughout the journey, she almost didn't leave Veronica. The other is the Count of Nethernet personally enthroned by the king, and this Count of Nethernet was "cut" from the Luoren family in the East." Gao Wen curled his lips, "The royal family and the Holy See, just like the guardians on the side of the saint princess, and they didn't give Veronica a chance to leave their sight for a moment. The princess's own pious belief obviously could not stop other unpious people from thinking. I dare not accept her kindness easily in this situation."

Heti and Rebecca couldn't help but show a thoughtful look when they heard this. The former was thinking about possible ideas and plans of the royal family and the church, while the latter was mainly thinking about what his ancestor Barabala said.

After Gao Wen finished speaking, he mentioned something that he also cared about: "In addition... I think what Princess Veronica said to me is very caring."

Amber became curious: "What sentence? She said too much to you today!"

"Although there are many gods, only the God of Holy Light can tolerate everything. At the end of the Holy Light, the ultimate redemption of the foolish beings," Gao Wen repeated Veronica's words as if preached, "Don't you think this sentence is a bit problematic?"

"What's the problem? Isn't it just the sentence pattern that the gods talk about most often," Amber scratched her hair. "What they love most is to promote how fraternity their gods are, as if the whole world is their son..."

"Most of the latter are indeed missionary words from the Holy Light Sect, but she added a sentence before it, although there are many gods," Gao Wen's tone was a little serious. "This sentence is very short and she said it very calmly, but this sentence is not what the believers of the Holy Light Church usually say."

Hetty reacted and said with little certainty: "Is she... putting the God of Holy Light above all the gods?!"

Gao Wen nodded slightly: "A induced induction that is not eye-catching, but it does mean that."

Everyone present looked strange.

This world has many beliefs, which Gao Wen has known for a long time: there are dozens of famous and surnamed sects, and hundreds of small sects that have limited spread between the countryside. The hidden tantric beliefs inherited in some small groups and small organizations have reached countless levels. Almost every sect that can be passed down stably will have their own magical skills, which means that there is a real source of divine power behind them, or something as powerful as a god.

However, so many sects maintain a relatively balanced situation on the mainland today. Their balance is even transcendent to countries and races. Even if war breaks out in several countries, the mainstream religions in these countries will still be out of the way.

Of course this is not always the case. In fact, in history, religious wars on this continent have broken out countless times, and annexation and invasion under the name of religion have been written all over history books. Even when humans were unified in a country, local wars often broke out in factions of different beliefs in the Gondor Empire.

During those years when Gao Wen hung in the sky, he even saw the scenes of religious wars and even mentioned this extra sentence, but at that time he could not turn over or close his eyes...

But no matter how each sect makes the brainstone, they are indeed "peaceful" now.

All disputes ended in the year when the Gondor tide broke out.
