In the majestic cathedral, the churchgoers sat quietly, listening intently to the guide's explanation. {Updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, with error correction being the most timely.

The priest, revered as a pioneer by them in the midst of brilliance, stood at the forefront of the sanctuary in his silver robes, unveiling the mystery to the gathered priests with calm deliberation. His voice, and every word he uttered, seemed to be a harmonious echo transmitted from heaven, spreading through the space like waves, bringing deep comfort to all.

As he spoke, at times he would raise his arms slightly, prompting roars of approval from the entire congregation. At other times, he would gently place his finger to his lips, encouraging people to listen with their hearts rather than their ears.

Throughout it all, his gaze remained so warm. Whenever he looked at the disciples, he gave them the greatest encouragement and support. Even those sitting in the last row could feel the love and concern contained within his eyes.

The sermon ended in less than an hour.

The pioneer bowed slightly, as if expressing gratitude to every colleague present.

And all the disciples paid him equal honor.

He slowly left the podium, walking down from the platform. Every step he took seemed like a hymn of praise to truth, his figure gradually disappearing in the colorful lights and shadows. But the surging emotion he left the priests with remained deep in everyone's heart, making their eyes burn with an uncontrollable heat, falling into this trance-like state involuntarily.

After the vanguard departed from the temple, the silver-armored cleric who had been in charge of this town hurried after him, walking by his side.

"My Lord Leader, the work of clearing the forest behind the town, expanding the city-state, constructing public service facilities, tourist facilities, and repairing and widening the roads to neighboring towns is already underway."

The Silver Knight handed over a report file.

"Very good, the benefit is in the present day, the achievement is for a thousand autumns. The reputation of the hegemonic Catholic Church will not only be sung about in the near future, perhaps even after a thousand years, people will still revere and commemorate it as a deity."

Lance took the document and praised it.

He tutors at Lord Francis's house during the day, and in the afternoon he comes to the temple to give guidance to the priests of the Overlord branch.

Every day is full and real.

In this small town, where the general level of magic was low, thanks to the telekinetic abilities of the Cat Boss, he could easily and undetected reach the temple. The temple itself wasn't frequented by many residents anyway.

For this great goal, we will fight to the death.

The silver-armored paladin bowed devoutly.

Although townsfolk had absolutely no trust in them, at least outwardly, they had shown a noticeable change in attitude towards the townspeople.

From carefully concealed disgust and fear, it gradually shifted to vigilance mixed with a hint of curiosity.

"To the death."

Lance also treated him with the same courtesy.

They are committed to equality and strive together for the same goal and belief.

In Li Lom City, fishing and aquaculture are already very mature, but the characteristic fish species are mostly sold locally. The cost of transporting them outwards is too high.

This town itself boasts excellent and unique scenery, and it's possible to create semi-natural hot springs. The surrounding forests could be developed into a pure natural park, making it feasible to expand this place into a large-scale tourist city.

After personally planning the renovation design drawings, the Silverarm Priest presented them to Lord Francis. Lord Francis was astonished and unable to refuse. He could only authorize the Silverarm Priests to begin construction.

Now, many residents from the north are considering moving south. According to the southwest province's report for the fourth quarter of last year, there is indeed a trend of population growth. Therefore, not only can Liloom City attract tourists, but it may also gain a large number of new residents.

After the initial construction is complete, they will undertake the most crucial step: leveraging the Hegemon Branch's channels in the Southwest Province to vigorously promote this seaside city of dreams. If the momentum is strong, further expansion could be undertaken, creating a virtuous cycle.

"In the future, use less force and focus more on learning. Those with artistic talent should study design, while those with craftsmanship and construction skills should practice their trades. Those who can absorb knowledge should study economics, finance, statistics, marketing, management, and all other related fields. There are enough books in the main city library of the Southwest Province to cover everything you need."

Lynch patted the silver-armored cleric on the shoulder, urging him.

Under the superhuman stamina and execution of these revivalist priests, the town is changing at a rapid pace.

A few days ago, Caine the Archdeacon, who was in charge of the southwest province, was invited to visit Lillom City by the Silver-Clad Priests. After a private meeting with Ranch in the temple, he also readily joined their group.

Now that the Grand Magister has returned to the provincial capital of Southwest, he intends to spread this idea on a larger scale and has sent more Silver-Robed Priests to learn in Lillom City.

"Yes, the Pantheon possesses unparalleled power and is the true God of wisdom. In order to make the Pantheon the governing religion of the Protoss Empire's resurgence, we must become the wisest disciples. Only then can we understand the Pantheon and become true members of its Hegemony."

The Silver Knight Priest spoke with feverish intensity.

Now they are not only busy building their city-states but also diligently learning every day. Under the guidance of the leaders, they have thoroughly grasped the importance of wisdom.

...even began to become addicted to learning, unable to extricate oneself.

Power has its limits, but knowledge is power and it has no limits.

The two strolled out of the temple, chatting all the way until the Silver-Clad Cleric saw Lance off at the gate. Lance waved goodbye to him.

Then, Lance walked through a small path outside the temple.

When he walked out from the end of the road, he was back to normal.

The little black cat leaped out of the shadows and landed on Lance's body.

"Ranch... What on earth..."

The cat boss is starting to not see through Lance anymore.

He acted as if he were performing, yet it didn't feel like an act. He seemed to be acting against his will, but also deeply enjoying himself.

"Rest assured, Cat Boss. I've only made them develop a positive admiration and faith."

Lancy caught the cat boss and held it, smiling and saying,

"In fact, the original structure of the Resurrection Church was rather loose with low cohesion. I took their already cherished concept of hegemonic Catholicism and further sanctified it, transforming it into an image of a god of power and wisdom. Once believers had a firm faith, they would form a cognitive community and collective consciousness based on shared beliefs, thereby diminishing individualistic thought. This facilitates efficient organization and operation."

"..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The cat boss was stunned for a moment.

It sounds reasonable, but.

Isn't this brainwashing!

The cat boss looked at those disciples, who had one by one become obsessed scholars, and didn't know what to say.

It's possible that Ranch told them that his secret to success was learning.

It's also possible that he has over-exalted the authority of the Church and interpreted its doctrines in his own way, deeply imprinting the truth "knowledge is power" into the minds of his followers.

Of course, it's also possible that Lance himself is the problem. He's too good at using words to stir up desire and tempt people, even controlling them. This isn't like a skill a normal student would possess!

The cat boss couldn't imagine what the Southwest Province would look like a few months later under Ranch's influence.

When the powerful leader of Catholicism saw that all his subordinates had been transformed from ruthless warriors into brilliant strategists by the ordeal, what kind of feelings would he have

The cat boss is really afraid that the Vatican will put Lanchi and him on the wanted list!

(The End)
