A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Chapter 472 Not Over Yet! _2 Chapter 636: Chapter 472 Not Over Yet! _2 For this very reason, within the Church of AL, Archbishop Oz originally held the highest prestige, and had the most supporters.

However, ever since the Flesh Puppet Technique controversy came out, many immediately distanced themselves from him.

Despite this, in the face of Archbishop Oz's defense, the others apparently had no say about it.

“This is futile, Archbishop Oz.”

Sitting in a wheelchair, the old man, who was twice the age of Archbishop Oz, showed a cold smile.

“You should well know, if you leaked this technique to Herman, then it is your dereliction. And if you didn't detect that Herman had such a destructive technique and confiscated it; it's still your dereliction.”

Archbishop Oz was speechless. In fact, as the old man suggested, no matter whether the Flesh Puppet Technique was related to him or not, it's his dereliction.

However…….

“Blaming me for dereliction of duty, isn't it the same for those present? The Tribunal is right there, for such a long time, who among you has laid a hand on the Tribunal or that Judge? Have you sealed off or confiscated them? Isn't the Tribunal the most disruptive force on this continent? Even though my plan failed, at least I tried, what about you?!”

With Archbishop Oz's words, the hall instantly fell into an eerie and awkward atmosphere.

Indeed, as Archbishop Oz said, at least he had tried to deal with the Tribunal, the other three people… when it comes to the Tribunal, they were basically fooling around.

According to the standards of the Church of AL, all the four people are derelict, but at least there's a chance that Archbishop Oz might still be rewarded with the “Effort Award,” while the others probably wouldn't even get the “Lazy Award”.

“This is not the time to consider this matter.”

The old man coughed lightly, skipping that somewhat awkward topic.

“The issue is that the followers of the Church of AL are dwindling. We must find a way to reverse this trend!”

Just as the old man had stated, compared to the previous issue, this problem is now a matter of the life and death for the Church of AL.

Originally, after the incident with Lisas and Seth, the followers of the Church of AL had decreased significantly. AL church have also tried to repair their image afterwards, but what they didn't expect was that due to Archbishop Oz's cause, Duanmu Huai decided to challenge the Church of AL head-on, choosing to preach in both countries.

The Tribunal's preaching, unlike that of AL's, didn't involve building churches. In some public areas, statues of the Tribunal were simply put up, with a few soldiers deployed to maintain order. Anyone could pray in front of them without having to pay anything. Moreover, it was said that prayers to a tribunal's statue could even cure diseases, especially those hard-to-treat diseases, which can be cured after praying.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are eternal for humans. Being able to cure diseases is most favorable to everyone.

Not to mention that unlike the Church of AL, where you need to invite a priest and pay them, you only need to go to the Tribunal's square and pray to the statue shaped like a skull and hammer. Muttering any normal prayers, you will start feeling warm and then your sickness will recede!

Straightforward and convenient, isn't this much better than the Church of AL? The priests of the Church of AL charge money to help people cure their diseases, and sometimes they even demand more rewards. In comparison, the Tribunal only requires you to pray a few sentences, completely indifferent to your contribution, with an attitude of “it doesn't matter whether you believe or not, anyway, it's free”…

For this reason, many civilians became followers of the Tribunal. After all, their method of curing diseases is undeniably effective and instant. Plus, they don't charge any fees, they have an attitude of “whether you believe or not is up to you”… it is not only popular among civilians, but also among the nobility, many of whom also became followers of the Tribunal.

Although the wealthy are indeed wealthy, this does not mean they like owing any obligation. Comparatively, they would rather use this method than seek favors from the priesthood of the Church of AL. Even if they have to spend more money on renovating the churches of the Tribunal, it's always better than bowing to ask for help, right?

In the past, they did not have a choice; now they want to be good people!

Of course, it's one thing to say it – whether they really mean it is another matter.

No matter how you put it, the Church of AL is indeed in big trouble now.

The number of followers is diminishing, as is the number of those bringing money at the doorstep. Furthermore, since the incident with Herman, nations have become suspicious of the Church of AL and started to suppress it.

The cornerstone and confidence of the Church of AL was originally the civilian population. However, after the incidents involving Lisas, Seth, and Herman, the civilians of these three nations, including the Free City Alliance, no longer have any confidence in the Church of AL.

When they were invaded by the Demon Clan, it was the Tribunal who saved them.

Let's not talk about Herman – the fact that the Church of AL actually colluded with Chancellor Stith to oppress them!

Under these circumstances…
“Boom!!”

However, just as everyone was worried, a violent tremor suddenly sounded, causing everyone to be stunned.
