Eros was silent for a few seconds before he continued to ask:

"Why didn't anyone take this seriously before? There are so many cases like this."

Hearing this question, Archbishop Dino smiled bitterly and said:

"In the past, those hospitals thought that this was just a new type of vegetative state. In addition, the original sin of greed in ordinary people's bodies is extremely hidden. If one's strength is not extraordinary, it is difficult to detect."

"This made the night watchmen responsible for patrolling think that this was just a normal human disease and they didn't pay much attention to it."

Eros' eyes dimmed slightly and he sighed softly. He knew that what Archbishop Dino said was indeed true.

Therefore, he did not continue to hold him accountable on this matter, but changed the subject:

"Did you find anything else?"

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Archbishop Dino's expression immediately became solemn.

"Your Highness, I have discovered that some ordinary people have the original sin of greed in their bodies. The life force they absorb will flow into the ground through some means."

"Then I looked up the information of ordinary people and found all the ordinary people who had those symptoms. Their onset dates were all recent."

"Based on this, I guess the purpose of the Abyss Cult's research on hiding the original sin pollution is probably to devour the vitality of ordinary people silently in the future without attracting the church's attention."

"And judging by the current situation, they seem to be close to success."

After listening to Archbishop Dino's words, Eros suddenly thought of the large ritual formation that covered the entire Beresford Port.

He sighed softly in his heart. Just close to success? I think it has already succeeded.

However, he did not tell this matter directly to Archbishop Dino in front of him, but asked:

"If their purpose is really to absorb the life force from ordinary people."

"So, what do you think they do by sucking the life force out of ordinary people?"

Archbishop Dino fell into deep thought, and after a while he spoke:

"Pure life force can not only erase original sin, but also nourish it, just like water and fire."

"In the past, the way those high-ranking evil spirits in the Abyss obtained their vitality was to bewitch the members of the Abyss Cult in the present world and hold sacrificial ceremonies for them."

"Use ordinary people as sacrifices and offer them directly to them."

"It's just that this method is very conspicuous and extremely easy for us to detect and stop it."

Eros raised his eyebrows. He seemed to understand what Archbishop Dino wanted to say:

"You mean that their purpose in studying this method of secretly absorbing life force is to directly sacrifice life force to avoid being detected by the church?"

To be honest, Eros did not agree with Archbishop Dino's speculation.

He didn't believe that the Abyss Cult made such a big fuss just to sacrifice their vitality to the evil spirits in the abyss.

After listening to Eros, Archbishop Dino nodded and continued:

"What I just said is just one of my guesses."

Having said this, Archbishop Dino paused, as if he was organizing his words, and only spoke again after a long while.

However, he did not directly state his second guess, but asked Eros a question in return:

"Your Highness, have you heard of the Son of Pride incident that occurred in the city of Kosroman 5 years ago?"

Eros's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Archbishop Dino with a serious look and said:

"You mean to say that what the Abyss Cult is planning in Haidaram now might be another Son of Pride incident?"

Archbishop Dino sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"I'm not sure, but the current actions of the Abyss Cult in Haidaram have made me a little uneasy."

"So I thought of this incident in the worst possible way."

"Five hundred years ago, the Abyss Cult laid out its plan in Kosroman City for thirteen years. In the final move, it sacrificed the entire Kosroman City, and more than six million people were devoured in an instant."

"Supported by the vitality of more than six million people, the descendant of the arrogant evil god, Athelrod, the son of arrogance, has successfully descended into the world."

"In order to kill the descendant of the evil god who had already descended into the world, the three great churches and their three Lords took action together, and only then was the son of the evil god killed in the South China Sea."

"Although the battlefield was in the fog far away from the mainland, the aftermath of their battle still affected the entire coast of the Croatian mainland."

"Ultimately, most coastal cities were submerged and more than 30 million people died."

"Later, in order to erase the impact of this incident, the three crowns decided to use the Level 0 Sealed Artifact - the History Book of Time to tamper with the history of ordinary people in the world and erase the city of Kosroman from the history of ordinary people."

"Let the corrective power of time automatically fill in that blank period of history."

"Since then, ordinary people around the world have forgotten the catastrophic wave that caused the deaths of tens of millions of people."

“But the history of the mysterious world clearly records this incident named the Son of Pride.”

By the end, Archbishop Dino's tone was filled with grief.

Tens of millions of people were simply wiped out, and from then on their history would no longer record them. Their identities and names would be replaced by memories fabricated by the false power of correction.

It was said that people would slowly go through the triple death, but from the moment they were erased, they went straight into the third death.

Looking at Archbishop Dino, who looked compassionate, Eros spoke to comfort him:

"The reason why the Son of Pride incident had such a big impact is because the church did not take precautions in advance."

"We have already prepared for the worst, and we have also asked for help from the holy city of Intivat before."

"So there is no need for you to worry so much, Your Excellency the Archbishop. Wait for the support from Intivat to arrive."

"No matter what their purpose is, they can't cause any trouble in the face of absolute power."

"After all, this world is the world of the church, and it is the place protected by the Lord."

Hearing Eros' powerful words, Archbishop Dino was slightly stunned, then shook his head and sighed:

"I don't think the church can't handle this. I just think that even if things are handled perfectly, casualties are inevitable."

After saying this, Archbishop Dino laughed first, and while laughing, he said to himself:

"That's right. There is no such thing as perfect in the world. All we can do is to minimize casualties."

……

The two of them continued communicating for a while, but ultimately ended the conversation because the discovery was made in a short time and the information they had obtained was insufficient, making it impossible to infer more useful information from it.

Finally, when Eros was about to leave, Archbishop Dino suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Eros:

"By the way, regarding the question Your Highness asked earlier, I now have some guesses."

Eros paused, turned his head, and said curiously:

"Oh? Which question?"

"Regarding the question of why the High Priest of Storm didn't discover the extraordinary person in the field of greed."

"Tell me!"

Eros actually had a guess about this question in his mind.

I brought this up before just to show how seriously I take this matter.

Now that Archbishop Dino also has some guesses, I might as well listen to him and see if they are consistent with my guesses.
