Chapter 35: Joining the Church
The inheritance family is established by a certain generation of church believers relying on the church. In each subsequent generation, family members join the church in an endless chain. In a country with many churches like the United States, the inheritance family is not uncommon.
As members of a once-glorious inherited family, it is not surprising that Richard and Bill know so much inside information.
"What do I need to pay to join the Church of All Souls, and what can I get? If I don't join, what will be the consequences?" Levi asked after a moment of silence.
"All Souls Church is not the kind of villain organization in the movies. Even if you choose to refuse, we will never do anything to you!" Bill motioned to Levi to relax.
"Furthermore, the management within the church is actually quite loose, and there are not many strict dogmas that need to be followed! Promotion only depends on two conditions, one is whether the life level is high enough, and the other is whether the aberrations or rare objects contained have received enough merit! "
"After all, the only purpose of the church is to eliminate aberrations and maintain the survival and development of mankind, so if you join us, what you need to do is to contain or hunt aberrations and rare objects!"
"After joining the church, not only can you enjoy unimaginable high salaries and insurance, even the lowest-level priests can easily earn one million per year, and all expenses incurred while on duty outside can be reimbursed. At the same time, the church also We will be given some official status and enjoy certain law enforcement powers. As long as we don’t wantonly massacre humans, the church will take care of everything else!”
"According to the status level, you can share the church's information database and know the truth about the world!" Regarding salary, Bill just mentioned it casually. He knew that what attracts people like Levi must be beyond material things, "And the biggest The advantage is that you can use the merits gained from containing and hunting aberrations and rare objects in exchange for the church’s rich and magical resources!”
"Levi, if you have the resources and help of the church, I believe you can successfully break through to a level 2 life form. Don't you want to gain more and more powerful power and a longer and longer lifespan?"
"You were born in an inherited family and enjoy the innate convenience. Logically speaking, you shouldn't stop being a priest. Don't you want to gain strength and lifespan?" Levi, who has been struggling in life and death for more than ten years, I have long passed the age of being randomly painted.
"That man doesn't want to?" Bill sighed, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, "It's just that my great-grandfather encountered a powerful enemy from the English royal family and suffered a powerful and terrifying blood curse. From then on, The descendants of the family cannot break the bottleneck of life level no matter how hard they try!"
Levi's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately guessed that what happened to great-grandfather Bill was most likely the master who chased and killed the messenger of the Loom Church. Although great-grandfather Bill saved the body of the messenger and the strange loom, he also had to pay a great price. Paid a huge and painful price!
"But Bill's great-grandfather, why didn't he bring the strange loom back to All Souls Church?" A new doubt suddenly appeared in Levi's mind, "Is it because he disliked the need to sacrifice human lives to use the strange loom?"
"Unless a demigod or even a god takes action." Bill murmured, and then a hint of self-mockery appeared in his eyes. He gave up these unrealistic thoughts, took a strong breath, and continued to win over Levi, "It is also because of the emergence of aberrations in recent years. The trend is on the rise. Just relying on the internal training of the inheritance family has obviously insufficient manpower, so we recruit people from the outside. "
"Otherwise, a few decades ago, the church valued these resources, and the threshold was as high as the sky. Countless talented people wanted to enter the church, but they had to go through many tests, and even returned without success. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you!”
"Okay! I choose to join!" Levi thought for a few seconds and finally decided to join the All Souls Church.
The management of the All Souls Church is loose and there are no mandatory constraints on him. Moreover, the All Souls Church has the ability to monitor global ether radiation, which allows Levi to avoid some powerful aberrations that cannot be defeated in advance, not to mention that there are still many powerful aberrations within the church. There are many aberrations and strange objects, and Levi must be lying if he says he is not tempted.
"Great!" Bill heard a look of joy on his face. Seeing Levi turn his head, he explained, "There is a reward for adding new blood to the church! And as your guide, if you As your level within the church continues to increase, I will continue to receive more and more rewards!”
Especially in Bill's view, Levi is currently at the pinnacle of a Level 1 life form, and can obtain the title of preacher after being certified by the church!
As long as you hunt a few more level 1 aberrations, you can accumulate enough merit and apply for a level 2 baptism from the church. You will have a high probability of breaking through level 2 life forms and be promoted to a priest!
At that time, as Levi's guide, Bill will be able to receive a first-level baptism reward, greatly improve his physical fitness, and regain his glory seven times a night!
Thinking of this, Bill felt even more grateful to his old partner Tribis, because it was the other party who gave this opportunity to Bill!
"Bah!" Bill opened the suitcase monitor and pointed to a piece of one-inch glass in the middle. "Levi, enter your fingerprints here first. I will help you import the information into the church information database. Then you need to go there in person. Church headquarters, for certification!”
"Didi!" Levi entered his fingerprints. "What needs to be authenticated? Doesn't the church have other branches?"
"The church has its own bases in major cities around the world, but new members need to go to the headquarters in person to get close to a strange object and record their own soul breath. If anything unexpected happens, the church can know it in time through the strange object!" Bill explained.
"And the headquarters is not something you can go to whenever you want. Many priests only have this one chance in their lifetime to see the heritage and strength of the church!"
"Where is the church headquarters?" Levi nodded when he heard it. With such developed transportation now, you can reach any city in the world by plane within 24 hours.
"It's in the desert south of South Dakota!" Bill shrugged.
"Huh? The Badlands Desert in South Dakota?" Levi frowned slightly.
As a transition zone between the Midwestern grasslands and the Rocky Mountains, South Dakota has quite obvious terrain features, including grasslands, forests, hills and deserts. In South Dakota, there are three most dangerous wastelands in the United States, the Black Hills, the Great Plains of North America, and the Badlands Desert!
"It seems that I can only drive there!" The road conditions to South Dakota are average, and there is no airport around the badlands desert, so Levi can only choose to drive there.
It's more than 2,000 kilometers away, and it will take about two days to get there if you drive faster, but Levi is not in a hurry, and plans to drive slowly, just as a relaxing trip!
