Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 367 Faith shaken
Perglan felt dizzy and she didn't dare to delve into the possible details, but the current situation was forcing her to guess the worst!

If this is really the case, then doesn't it mean that...she has actually been serving the devil in the past? !

Although as a frontline soldier, her mission has always been to fight against demons, which seems to be no different - but how can it be no different!

“No, no, no, no…” Perglen held her head. Even though she had heard and seen everything, she still didn’t want to believe that it was all true.

Maybe, maybe this was a dream that went out of control? She just became a bishop in her dream? If this was true, she really hoped to wake up soon!
"We have a church here, and we also enshrine the statue of Tyr." Seeing that Pergrand's behavior was beginning to become abnormal, Ron winked at Yelena and asked her to find Bunny and Andre - if the latter was in town now, "Perhaps it would be better to talk to your god."

"Please believe that our priests here have all seen the world and will never do anything to you because of what you said," Ron patted the priest on the shoulder. "Tyr is the embodiment of justice. Of course, He is sensitive to such evil things. Don't you think so?"

"But why..." Perglen raised her head. She was no longer young and had never thought that she would be preached by a young pagan. But now, she really needed an explanation. "But why didn't she respond at all? The archbishop must not have embarked on this deviant path recently."

"Because first of all, the war with the Abyss cannot be stopped. The turmoil within the cult is fatal to the front line." Although Ron does not believe in Tyr, there is nothing new under the sun. He can barely redeem the spirit of a devout believer with some stories he heard from others. "The friction and collision between beliefs and ideologies are almost irreconcilable. When the two sides engage in a long tug-of-war, shaking the faith is tantamount to self-destruction."

"There was a war. At the height of the war, internal strife led to a change of generals before the battle, which caused one side to lose everything. The dreams, souls and lives of countless people were destroyed. Tyr would not want this to happen to you, don't you think so, Miss Pelgrand?"

"Or do you think that the Archbishop's corruption is not an isolated case, but that the vast majority of the sect's followers, including Aaron, have turned to the devil?"

"That's impossible!" Perglen retorted immediately, "I don't know about others, but it's absolutely impossible for Lao Lei!"

"That's right!" Ron nodded. "So don't you think that Tyr has already taken action to restore order without affecting the front line?"

The pastor stared at Ron blankly, and it took her a while to react. She pointed at Ron, then at herself: "You mean...you don't mean?"

"Although I'm not a believer, and I don't even dare to say that I'm on your side, but sometimes, you should win over some other allies. Isn't that why you came to us?" Ron smiled. He turned sideways and saw the halfling priest pushing the door in with Yelena.

He doesn't need to worry about what happens next, as professionals certainly have more professional words.

"You'd better move to another place these days," Ron motioned for Yelena to come out with him after Bunny took over the conversation with Perglen. "If you accidentally let people know that we have a deal with Purgatory, I'm really afraid she'll go crazy."

"Then I'll go to the warehouse, or just move to the black dragon's lair for a few days," Shadow Spirit shrugged but did not refute. The priests of Heim might not care about good and evil, but the priests of Tyr could not. "But I have to say that you must think of a way to get her away, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later." For an adult in his thirties, and a middle or high-level member of the cult, it is almost impossible to change his various concepts through methods other than arcane magic.

"I will solve this problem as soon as possible, but I can't think of any solution right now," Ron sighed, "You don't have to put yourself in such a difficult position. There's a bed in my office, you can just rest there."

Shadow spirits are similar to elves and do not need sleep. Meditation is enough.

"The more reliable way is to behead all those high-ranking officials and support Perglen to take the position," Yelena said shockingly, "and then we, or I, can act as the middleman. This will allow Purgatory to maintain a certain degree of control over them, while not having to worry about retaliation from them - Her Royal Highness will certainly not give up on a business that comes to her doorstep."

"There will definitely be turmoil on the front line, which will be a blow to the Molten Iron Barrier and even the entire world." Ron really wanted to take this approach. Although it was a bit dangerous and the success rate was not high, it would allow the dreamer to not have to be at the center of the vortex. All responsibilities would naturally be borne by the tall guy - but he had to consider the follow-up situation.

Although the battlefield of the cult was unknown, they were also connected to the Abyss. Once something happened there, the Filthy Demons, Babu Demons, and Balor Flame Demons might also flood into the Delusion Land... He didn't plan to deal with these things in the future. Although the devils were not good people, they were more or less reasonable and looked like human beings.

"That's difficult. Are you planning to let the archbishop 'repent'?" Shadow Spirit snorted. She found that her face seemed to attract too many eyes while walking on the street, so she put on her hood. "Another possible way is to let him and other bishops who are committed to Purgatory collectively abdicate. Compared with this, I think it would be better for the priest to pray for the Tirheims to come down to earth and show their divine power."

In a world without gods, this statement is the same as "impossible", but here it might really come true - but the probability is also slim. After all, most gods have their own base, and even if Tirheim really comes down to earth, he will most likely be in Faerun instead of here.

But speaking of the native gods of this world...

Ron subconsciously touched his heart, but the gray fog that was active before did not respond at all - although it had never listened to his commands.

Ron and Yelena strolled towards the official residence where they worked. This three-story building with a basement, built under Anne's supervision, imitated the architectural style of the Rose City: the main body was made of marble and was filled with arches and columns.

The first floor of the official residence is the government hall, where residents who come to the territory to do business and their various requests will be summarized, classified and answered. On both sides of the hall are several meeting rooms and offices. In addition to Ron and his team holding meetings and receiving envoys from other city-states here, technical officials recruited by Ron and civil servants recruited by Ivender also work here.

The second floor is mainly the office of Ron and others, plus the room of Evander, the "007" overtime maniac. The third floor is Ron's own residence. Because sometimes several people including Axuri would come to discuss various matters with him, a huge platform was built on it, which is enough for Ron to move the workshop he built when he was in the trading post here. In a few months, the effect of Mordenkainen's private chamber will take effect permanently.

As it was winter, only a few people entered and exited this multi-functional building. It was precisely because of this that Ron could recognize the man who had been lingering at the door at a glance.

He should be working as a helper at the Night Wind Tavern in Rose City, so why is he here?
