In the history of the development of the Holy Order, there have been two blows, and the distance of the two blows was very close.

The first was the continent-wide Renaissance movement on Europa, which drove countless ordinary people to awaken their consciousness and began to oppose oppression and bondage, and for the first time attacked the rule of the Holy Order.

Although the Holy Order is still strong and has a transcendent position in Europa, anyone who knows that period of history knows that before the Renaissance, the Holy Order was the master of the continent of Europa, and the appointment of kings in each region even had to be approved by the Pope, including the wives and children of subsequent kings.

At that time, offending a member of a Holy Order was the most serious offense, not to mention the pope and bishops, and even the countless popes under the Ten Priests, who were free to flout the laws of the region and punish the common people as they wished.

After the Renaissance, the king began to run his own region, and although he still nominally respected the pope, he no longer obeyed the orders of men, and the power of the Holy Order was weakened for the first time.

And the second blow was brought by a female pope in the history of the Holy Order, this female pope brought a big scandal to the Holy Order, and her private life was chaotic, so that the Holy Order lost its credibility among the people, and at that time, the believers withered, and the development of the Holy Order encountered a bottleneck, which seriously weakened the faith.

Previously, the Holy Order was the only faith in Europa, indelible and untransferable, but after the scandal of the Pope, other faiths began to develop in the continent, and the people no longer believed in the teachings of the Holy Order, and later many atheists developed.

The two blows weakened the Holy Order as a whole, but even so, the powerful power of the Holy Order cannot be ignored, since the beginning of the globalization movement, since the beginning of the Great Route, the Knights of the Holy Cross as a trump card of the Holy Order and the continent of Europa, sweeping the whole world.

When the cross-border war broke out in Donghua, the Crusaders also played an indelible role as the main force of the Europa continent, and the Crusaders, as pioneers, brought countless rich treasures and booty to the Holy Order.

"Is it really necessary to produce a female pope?"

I don't know why, Pope Kira always has uneasiness in his heart, although this saint who suddenly appeared meets the Pope's standards in all aspects, but he doesn't believe it, maybe this is also related to the fact that the Holy Son grew up watching him since he was a child, but it's a pity that the Holy Son's character is not calm enough, and he actually rashly assassinated the head of the regiment, which made the Holy Order lose a lot of combat power in vain.

"The Holy Maiden went on this expedition and worked with the strong men of Donghua to solve the demon of the Three Thousand Yuan Lixiang, and now the Holy Maiden has a high voice among the ordinary people of the Europa Continent. ”

The middle-aged man carefully explained the situation, and the Kira Pope above snorted disdainfully.

"Hmph, it's just glamorous on the surface, how can ordinary people know that the holy woman they think is extremely holy is a witch who cultivates the power of great sin, but the doctrine of the Holy Order is to accept the power of great sin and virtue at the same time. ”

The teachings of the Holy Order record the ten virtues and the seven deadly sins, which are the seven indelible original sins that everyone is born with, and the ten virtues, which are the ten best qualities that each person will pursue in his future growth, and they are also very powerful.

The Holy Order has long lost the cultivation method of the power of the great sins, and the ten virtues have been passed down very well, but it is a pity that no one has completely cultivated the power of the ten virtues for hundreds of years, but this holy woman who suddenly appeared has cultivated the power of the seven deadly sins.

"The strength of the Holy Maiden is indeed very strong, and the Holy Son cannot compare with it in this regard. ”

The Holy Son has mastered the power of the five virtues, Pope Kira has mastered eight, and even the four major bishops have mastered the power of the six virtues, which means that the strength of the Holy Son is not even as good as the four major bishops, no wonder the four bishops are not convinced by him.

However, the Knights of the Holy Cross cultivated other powers, inherited from Longinus, the spear of the God Destroyer, and now this gun was brought back by the Holy Maiden and handed over to the middle-aged man.

"You go back first, it's late tonight, and I should rest. ”

An imperceptible glimmer flashed in Pope Kira's eyes, and after the middle-aged man said goodbye, he left the holy hall, Pope Kira made a gesture, and a figure in the dark opened his eyes.

"You go and follow him, keep an eye on him. ”

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope. ”

The entire Holy Order, in addition to the forces on the surface, also has a group of forces secretly cultivated by the Pope under the water, and this group of people is called the Cardinals.

Ordinary people, from the faithful to the priests, to the priests and the pope, and then to the priests and bishops, are dressed in white robes.

But this group of cardinals is different, they have an independent system, from the believer to the pope to the priest to the bishop, they are all dressed in bloody red, in which the cardinal, the supreme head of the cardinals, completely obeys the Pope and is only responsible to the Pope alone.

The Cardinals exist solely for the sake of killing, they monitor the entire Holy Order from the inside, everyone is a powerful executioner, everyone comes and goes mysteriously, only serves the Pope, and has the people to judge all other members of the Holy Order.

A cardinal, who can even reasonably kill the four major bishops, is a real blade in the hands of the Pope, but this blade is only aimed at the interior of the Holy Order.

The person who was sent by Pope Kira to follow the new head of the Cross was a cardinal priest who was also the most powerful being among the cardinals, hiding in the darkness and quietly following the new leader.

After leaving Europa Cathedral, the new head of the regiment wandered through the alleys and returned to his home. He was an ascetic, daily reading of the teachings, followed by self-cultivation, and sometimes teaching some of the members of the regiment martial arts, and on the surface he was loyal to the Pope, like a robot, and did not see anything out of the ordinary.

The cardinal priest kept an eye on the new head of the group in the darkness outside the room, and saw that he had to read the doctrine again before going to sleep, and did not feel anything suspicious, until the lights went out in the room and the new head fell asleep.

The cardinal priest was always watching outside, not sleeping, more like a robot, carrying out the orders given to him by the Pope.

"What a good and faithful dog. ”

In the room, through the moonlight, the red-clothed priest who was also hidden in the darkness keenly observed the red-clothed priest in the darkness opposite, snorted coldly, and the new head of the regiment who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep spoke in a group.

"Indeed, if you want to completely defeat the Pope's forces, the Cardinals are the biggest resistance, they are the strongest hole cards in the Pope's hand, and you should be extra careful of these lackeys in the future, Your Excellency. ”
