After leaving the Great Chapel, Lisa went to their lodgings to wait, while Lawson was led by Irandall to a courtyard.

This is probably one of the many courtyards of the Great Sanctuary of Ramirez, with colorful flowers and gurgling water, which has a life completely different from the solemn atmosphere of the Great Sanctuary.

"It's a place I come to a lot, and the scent of the flowers is calming and relaxing. ”

Irandall said, Rosen vaguely remembered that when he first met her, this nun was not like someone who would have such a hobby.

"It's a pity that Ash doesn't have the perception of a normal human, and it doesn't feel tired and bored. ”

Rosen shrugged, his perception swept over the flowers, matching them with some of the plants in his memory.

"I don't know if you know of a painter named Father Aredel. ”

Edlandall smiled, standing beside Lawson, she was much shorter than the tall armored knight beside her, only to the height of the other's chest.

"This painter is familiar to me, and I remember seeing his paintings. ”

Rosen remembered a painting he had seen at an auction in the Shallow Desert, a priest who seemed to be close friends with a certain Ash, and that a large part of his paintings had actually been published by Ash in the name of Father Eredel.

"Well, Father Eredel once had a friend who was Ash, and his most famous painting is probably Ember, which is not his handiwork, but the painting of Ash. ”

Irandall spoke, and the scent of sound and flowers spread in the air.

"These are all evidence that is already known on the surface, but in fact, as a member of the Templar, Father Eredel is naturally very clear about what is going on behind him. ”

"How?"

Although Rosen didn't know the meaning of Irandall's sudden mention, he was also slightly curious by her words.

"The ash is not actually a friend of Father Eredel, but his wife. ”

Irandall continued, glancing at Rosen.

"Father Eredel's wife was reduced to ashes after her death, and she lived with him for many years, waiting for Father Eredel to pass away before leaving. ”

The story is short, but it is also embarrassing.

Three hundred years ago, during the most rigorous period of the Templars, one could have predicted the pressure that Father Eiredel was going through, but instead of killing his wife as ashes as other clergymen, he stayed with her until his death.

Rosen didn't know what Father Eredel was thinking, but he did know that not everyone had an extreme hatred for Ash, and even within the Templar, there were people who were willing to come into contact with Ash.

"The Templar and Islul may not be two completely irreconcilable forces. ”

Rosen said slowly, looking at Elandall, the nun lady shining in the golden afternoon sun.

"Yes. ”

Edlandall seemed a little stunned, she nodded, took a few steps forward, and turned back.

The skirt of the robe fluttered, attracting butterflies, and in the sunlight, the silver ends of Elandall's hair shimmered like particles, not at all dull and old-fashioned like a priest, more like a young girl in her youth.

"Even with the threat of the Chaos People, the world will definitely be a better place. ”

Irandall said, smiling faintly, and then, she walked towards Lawson, and then whispered.

"There may be a lot of danger ahead, and inside the Templar, it's not that simple. ”

"I know. ”

Rosen knew that Randall was worried about him, but he also had his own considerations.

"Do you know who the forces Bishop Eldridge is talking about?"

Hearing Rosen's question, Irandall looked around before speaking in a deep voice.

"Let's talk as we go. ”

The two left the courtyard and walked towards the edge of the island.

"First of all, excluding the bishop's part, there are roughly five internal forces in the Templar, namely the three Inquisitions, the Battle Priest, and the Divine Acolyte. ”

Then, as she walked forward, Irandall explained to Lawson the secrets of the Templar's interior.

The Grey Knight's Demon Inquisition is more inclined to fight against the Chaos Folk with all its might, and belongs to the faction that is friendly to Bishop Eldridge.

Although the Whisperers of the Alien Inquisition are generally willing to fight against the Chaos Monsters, they also have their own demands, hoping to have more say in the Sanctuary.

The most radical of these was the Inquisition, where the Night's Watch considered it blasphemous to fight the mages and the ashes as a blasphemy against the goddesses, and it was almost time to purge them of heresy by a great internal war.

Although the Battle Priest is not resistant to the Alliance, they have always been a relatively low status among the various forces of the Templar, so they expect to be able to fight for power, and the leader of the Battle Priest has a close relationship with the head of the Inquisition, so the Battle Priest has also become an opposition because of the relationship of multiple checks and balances.

As for the nuns, this force usually does not interfere with the power of the Templars, but they do fight to protect the goddess from being desecrated, and these nuns, who are usually hundreds of years old, are also a force to be reckoned with.

"Wait, what is the role of the Inquisitor in this?"

After listening to Randall's narration, Rosen suddenly realized a problem.

Irandall pursed his lips and smiled before slowly explaining.

"The Inquisitors are, in a sense, the guards of the Bishop alone, and of course, there are certain divisions within the Inquisitors, but on the whole, they are still in favor of the Bishop. ”

"I see, so it seems that from the point of view of combat effectiveness, Bishop Eldridge still has the upper hand. ”

Rosen nodded slightly, a little relieved.

It seems that there is room for redemption of the differences within the Templar, and the reason why Bishop Eldridge finds it difficult is not because of force, but because of justice.

If he were to be violently purged, it would be unpopular, and could even lead to a real schism in the Templar, which is the most desirable sight for his rivals.

As far as Rosen knows, the original Al Ain was a victim of that power struggle and was killed by the people he was protecting, and that history was also an indelible shadow of the Templars, so Bishop Eldridge didn't want to repeat history.

However, the policy of softness will only fuel the demands of these forces, and will not solve the problem fundamentally.

Therefore, Rosen, an outsider, became the best choice to carry out this act.
