Two months had passed since the three appeared on the eastern continent. They lead peaceful lives.
They did not have to deal with the arrogant young master or the scheming old man. Sam is unconscious. But his body showed some changes, his black patches slowly but surely reduced and his skin also became much better.
They live a pretty good life.
The only thing that makes them interested in this boring routine is the presence of religion that enters the city.
It's called the 'Guiding Church.' Surprisingly there were many people who joined the church and most of them were cultivators.
Surprisingly, this church appeared out of nowhere, but according to the news they heard from the union, this church appeared in all the villages and almost in all the major cities in the past two weeks.
There are a lot of people joining this church and the number seems to be getting higher.
There was even a rumor that, in a certain village, everyone became a follower of this church. That included village chiefs, guards, and even street thugs.they became devout followers overnight.
Each member of the church wore white robes and they traveled in groups defending their religion.
There is no specific hierarchy known to the public yet, but one thing they do know is that no one has come into contact with the church and come out like a normal person, everyone who comes into contact with them will become a follower.
Initially, the authorities did not take it seriously, only after they saw more than half of the village being under the control of the church and the rest joining quickly.
The emperor was probably the last person to know about this church.
And there's a reason for that.
The church started as wisely as possible and the recruitment operations of more people went more quietly.
It all started in the villages and soon slowly spread to the small towns and now within two months it had already reached the capital of the Dukedom.
The city suddenly became chaotic. Every commoner in the slum who was supposed to be a non-cultivator had now become a cultivator and they had all become church followers. The only wisdom for the authorities is that being a church follower only seems symbolic and there is nothing they should do as followers.
Everyone has the same daily routine
The same thing happened in all the kingdoms in the other three continents except there was a small anomaly.
The western continent. Church activities cannot spread at the same pace as the remaining three continents.
Because the people behind the church are having trouble with the communication network.
Due to the presence of a communication network, there is nothing to hide. News spread quickly and widely, so they could not make any major moves even in remote villages.
So they chose a different plan. At first, they started to get people to join individually, there were no mass gatherings or no grand rituals. After having each individual in their target group join them, they began to forcefully disconnect the communication network.
Just like that, five villages were isolated from the rest of the world in the first week.
By the same week, the church group of another continent was finished with almost all the villages.
But the church did not give up, they felt nothing was wrong and went on with the same plan and at the end of two weeks, which they were currently finished with fifteen other villages, he said, while churches on other continents spread to the capital city of Dukedom.
The difference in progress is huge, but there are some internal reasons for that.
As they thought about going further, they did not know that the emperors from the western continent had already started searching for information regarding those twenty-one villages.
It is also because of the communication network.
Sam has made two major network hubs and one of them is in the city of Sam and another in the Imperial Capital.
Both hubs got notifications as soon as communication networks were blocked inside these villages, at first, the operators didn't think much. They just felt there was a problem with the tower and sent the necessary technicians.
But after two weeks the blockage only increased and the people sent to fix the problem disappeared with no way to be contacted.
On this day, when all three are wary of the church on the eastern continent and Sirona who completed his journey across the western continent will return to the city of Sam, he said, Arc sent troops to twenty-one villages whose connections they blocked.
While Arc is worrying about anomalies in twenty-one villages, there is another problem knocking on its door and it is the people of the pharmacy tower starting a dispute within Sam's network.
They suddenly demand to increase their share in profits and claim that they are being underestimated. They brought the matter to the emperor directly, who was waiting for news from the troops he deployed.
Imperial court.
There were four people sitting on the guest chair while the emperor was in his own seat.
The four men were none other than the former tower heads of the four main towers of Orion.
The head of the Pharmaceutical tower sat on one side alone while the other three sat opposite it.
"I want pharmacy tower shares in profits to increase by five percent. We suffered great losses at the hands of the other three professions."
The head of the Pharmaceutical Tower said in a very serious tone.
“What do you mean by loss? The whole network mainly works based on our three professions, whereas pharmacy tower only takes part in business and administration. Our three professions oversee manufacturing, maintenance, transportation, and all other services. .
Just how do you think you're suffering a loss?"
"What do you mean by saying we are only responsible for business and administration? You seem to have forgotten the welfare of the employees. We are the ones supplying the necessary pills and potions to all employees and also, we have to provide herbs and rare medicines in exchange for services.
Although, we make money from the goods sold and get a fair share of them, everything else for the welfare of the employees and the exchange of services is not a fair exchange at all.
We lost a lot of money."
The debate went back and forth and so on, they completely forgot that they were in the presence of the emperor.
They actually started cursing at each other and everything was almost out of control.
After more than an hour of chaos, the head of the craftsman tower declared loudly.
"Parents, you can dream of getting a higher share of the profits you want, there's no way we'll let you take our share of the profits."
The head of the pharmaceutical tower snorted in disdain as he replied.
"If you won't give away your share, so be it. There's still a Sam piece. We'll take it from that."
The atmosphere turned serious once he said these words, he looked at the emperor from the corner of his eye.
Arc finally understood, what this old fox was doing. The main goal was Sam's part from the beginning.
He gritted his teeth in anger as he said.
"Sam is not here at the moment. How can you decide?"
"I think the emperor should ask Sam about this after visiting the thunder god temple. Don't worry, our pharmacy tower will cover the cost of the trip."
Ark frowned. He was still thinking about how to handle the situation regarding Sam's disappearance, but now these people were even more in a hurry to confirm Sam's disappearance.
Once they confirmed his departure, there was no way for them to remain network friendly. The whole organization will be broken into pieces.
He thought long and hard for a movement and took a deep breath before saying.
"I will visit the thunder god temple. But not now. I have a problem at the moment and I have to deal with it as soon as possible.
I'll tell you back in ten days until they I'm expecting you to keep the whole organization in peace.
If you guys are having trouble dealing with and another dispute arises, I believe the head of the Imperial Capital tower, I believe, will be more than happy enough to take care of the organization while you guys step back and resolve your issues before taking your position back. ."
