Chapter 45: Kingship and Religion
Does this work?
The answer is, it's not small.
After the establishment of this so-called inquisition, Liang Tian could gain more faith power every day than before.
"It seems that the flames and blood can sometimes be very effective. ”
Liang Tian didn't think there was any need for such fanfare at first, but with such a real fight, he could see and touch the benefits. His mind changed unconsciously.
Because Liang Tianben is a person who focuses on results rather than process.
Otherwise, he would not have told such a big lie to his followers, and himself would have woken a lie that believers still believe today.
So in the end, he chose to sit on the sidelines and acquiesced to the actions and existence of the court.
Anyway, these things are all caused by the Divine Servant Sect, and even if you hate it, you can't hate him.
Besides, Liang Tian also needs more power of faith now. Because Liang Tian had a feeling in the underworld, this time, if the power of faith could be collected again, then he would gain some new abilities.
"Maybe if there is another transformation, I can really open up a kingdom of God, maybe ......"
Under this demand and expectation, the name of the Inquisition of the Divine Servant Church began to become more and more resounding.
Because they don't need to explain to the outside world when they judge blasphemers, and once they are labeled blasphemers, they are certain to die. Gradually, under the impetus of this absolute power, some things have gone sour.
The people of the Inquisition began to become more and more arrogant and arrogant. It has only been a year since then, and it is not uncommon to blackmail, accept bribes, and even label people who have hatred or even different ideas as blasphemers.
Therefore, in the territory of Xihe, a city called Baigu, when the lord of the city was drunk, he remembered what the city inquisition had done a few days ago. When he was drunk, he couldn't help but scold a few times in front of a group of people close to him.
But the city lord never expected that some of those close to him would betray him that night. Then, early the next morning, the Templars in the city, who belonged to the Inquisition, came to the door.
"What, blasphemy! You are crazy, I am the lord of this city, the master of this land, don't you forget!"
The city lord roared fiercely, his whole face turning red.
Now, although the status of the Divine Servant Sect in Xihe is transcendent, the city lord still has the power to maintain law and order, form an army, and collect taxes.
And just like Bai Man, the city lord of White Valley City in front of him, said, he is still the owner of this land in name. Even the church where the statue of Liang Tian was built was also his land.
But will the Inquisition of the Servant of God tell him this? The answer is obviously no.
Power makes people arrogant. When they have the power to deprive others of their lives at will, these people in the Inquisition have long since been empty-sighted.
Therefore, after Bai Man said this, the witch in the lead snorted coldly and said, "Stupid thing, you have neither been canonized by God, nor blessed by God.
At the end of the day, you are nothing more than an antelope herded by God. If you blaspheme God's authority, you will naturally pay the price!"
"Bah, when have I ever blasphemed the majesty of God. But you bastards know all day long that you are doing evil in the name of God!"
"Shut up and catch him!"
When it came to this, the two sides also completely tore their faces.
The Templars who had been blessed by Liang Tian immediately rushed forward. But the city lord was not to be outdone, and even commanded the surrounding warriors of the city-state who were loyal to him to launch a counterattack.
Blood instantly stained the ground of this White Valley Castle. The secular kingship and the theocracy eventually fought.
This time, however, the Inquisition won easily.
Those Templars who have been blessed with extraordinary powers are simply not something that ordinary warriors can stop. Therefore, they easily killed the warriors of Hakuya Castle who tried to attack them, and then shot an arrow into the knee of Bai Man, the lord of Hakuya Castle, who was trying to escape.
"Blasphemer, you who have committed the most heinous blasphemers, you will be judged before all believers in this land. Your soul will not be able to enter the kingdom of our lord, and you will have to endure endless torment even after death. ”
"No, you don't have the authority to do that. Only His Majesty the King can judge me, only the King!"
Bai Man, the city lord of White Valley City, roared indignantly.
But he was taken back to the church's prison in public. In the process, the Templars of the Inquisition deliberately escorted him down the streets of Hakutani Castle with his wounded.
Let everyone see the embarrassed appearance of their city lord.
In this way, Bai Man's majesty in the city must have suffered a heavy blow.
But in the same way, Bai Man, the city lord of White Valley City, was arrested by the inquisition as a blasphemer, and it also spread rapidly.
And because Baigu City is not far from Xihe and the capital Xihe City. Therefore, only in the twelfth hour after this incident, King Xihe, who was asleep, was awakened to learn the news that made him furious.
"These hateful Inquisition guys, how dare they do that. This is an insult to all the great nobles of the kingdom, they must apologize for admitting their mistakes and immediately release the city lord Bai Man!"
At four o'clock in the morning in the King's Hall, the general of the kingdom made an impassioned speech to the prime minister and the king who had just woken up.
Although he himself didn't know Bai Man, the city lord of Baigu City, what happened to Bai Man made him feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.
Just imagine, if the Inquisition took a city lord with great fanfare and no one stopped it. So wait until the next time, will the Inquisition charge him, the general of the kingdom, and then arrest him.
When it comes to his life, there is no reason why this kingdom general is not angry.
And at this moment, the generals of the kingdom are like this, and so are the prime ministers and kings. As the top nobles and the masters of this country, they all felt that the Inquisition had gone too far this time.
However, the city and scheming of these two people are much deeper than those of the kingdom generals. The anger that burned like fire was also in the heart, but it was not expressed on the face.
Among them, especially the king's prime minister, until this moment was also very calm: "The top priority now is to get people out of the inquisition as soon as possible."
His Excellency the Bishop, who was personally appointed by the Archbishop to carry out missions in Xihe, is now in the city church. We should show her that all this was a misunderstanding. ”
"Misunderstanding? Heh, is there such a misunderstanding!"
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, the king laughed angrily. He felt that the Prime Minister's proposal was too weak. In comparison, the general's words are more in line with his mind.
So he couldn't help but stand up from his throne and said, "There is no one in my country who can capture the lord of a city without my permission. Your Excellency the Bishop, you are responsible for this!"
