Chapter 38 Common sense doesn't mean it's right
Putting down the wine glass, the kind bar owner slowly narrated to the three young visitors:
"Now the kingdom of Lufia is torn between two forces, the royal family and the church. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, the lords everywhere were loyal to the royal family, but since the implementation of the system of the soul master as a priest stationed in the church in various places, the power of the lords has gradually been suppressed, as a miracle born with the blessing of God, the spirit master priest not only greatly expanded the spread of faith, but also disgraced the army with strong power, plus in recent years, Her Majesty has always been hidden behind the scenes, delegating power to Archbishop Heathrow, and the lords have turned against each other and become fake rulers who are ostensibly loyal to the queen and actually obey the orders of the church. ”
Arthur asked curiously, "Soul Master Priest, does Thean have it too?"
"Of course, Se'an is one of the best big cities. The boss smiled. "You are probably not familiar with the church system, I will explain it as well. The supreme head of the Church is the Pope, who is also the de facto ruler of the ancient city of Begajgit, located in the southern part of the former Harran Kingdom. Vegajjit, as the seat of the central church, is known as the Great Holy Capital and is the closest place to God. Now that the call for Begajgit to be separated from Rufia and become a country of its own is getting louder and louder, the United Church of the Harrans, who are eager for Harlan's restoration, continue to put pressure on the queen, but Archbishop Heathrow has always been ambiguous about this matter, and it is probably because of this that he can gain the queen's trust. ”
After a pause, the boss continued:
"The Pope is the following 12 priests who are in charge of the affairs of the Church. In terms of status, the bishops who were sent to the provinces to take charge of the church were the same as the gods, but the real power and prestige of those bishops were inferior to the gods, so there was a joke that the king prayed to be a courtier, which meant that some bishops, even if they held great power in the territory they were in charge of, still had to find ways to return to the great holy capital and become gods. After all, the successor of the Pope is chosen from the Divine. ”
The boss smiled again, and the three obedient children on the other side nodded one after another.
"As for the position of archbishop, it is very delicate. Originally, the position of the archbishop was under the Pope, at the same level as the Twelve Gods, but because the Archbishop was attached to the royal power and trusted by the Queen, he was higher than the Twelve Gods and could compete with the Pope. ”
The three children made an "oh" mouth and nodded their heads at the same time.
"Below the bishop are the priests in charge of the churches in various places. After the introduction of the system of spiritual masters, the strength of the churches in various places has also increased. Sean's priest is Lord Rhodes, he is a very capable priest, and he is the person who found out the manipulator behind the case of reselling germanium and limestone, and the people of Sean respect him very much. ”
"Oh...... Capable people. Arthur blinked, "Boss, there's one thing that I'm curious about, we haven't found a book about the Contractor and the Shadow Shadow since we traveled, not a single one, even a place the size of the Thean Library, there are only hymns about the heroic Soul Master, why is that?"
The boss was surprised again: "Oh, don't you know? All knowledge materials related to the contractor can only be owned by the church, and books related to the contractor or the spirit shadow can only be issued by the church. Therefore, the authors of such books are affiliated with the church, and others are afraid to write them. Illegal dissemination is subject to trial, most likely the death penalty. ”
"Why is that?" Arthur frowned slightly, "What church do you want to write?"
"Oops, this little brother. The boss smiled, leaned down against the bar, and approached the disgruntled young man, "Think about it, what is the reason why the church can promote the unification of the Kaia Nolan continent and dare to confront the royal family? Most of the twelve deities are contractors, and the pope who has historically been contractors is also in the majority. What if someone else holds the secrets of such an important power? ”
The bar owner smiled easily, but Arthur still pouted dissatisfiedly: "Common sense doesn't mean it's right, break the church, I can't find anything, I found it in vain, break the church, break the church!"
"Ah, please don't say that!" The boss first got up and looked around, then lowered himself again, and whispered: "Please don't forget, Se'an is the sphere of influence of the church, and most of the residents are church believers, if this kind of insulting words reach the church, then I will be in trouble! You are travelers, you can escape if something happens, but my family is here, and I live on this shop!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I owe it to me. Arthur lowered his face guiltily.
Werther saw that Arthur had quickly quieted down, and did not even complain, and could not help but blink quickly, very surprised.
"It's okay, but you're interested in the contractor, so you ......"
"Just curious. Shaking his head quickly, Arthur smirked, "The contractor is amazing, I just want to know about it, and it doesn't matter if I can't." ”
"Oh, the church is recruiting contractors, and I'd like to say if you are, maybe check it out. ”
"Why, where can a little ghost like me be a contractor, right? As she spoke, Arthur and Naine looked at each other and smiled, and the girl smiled in response.
"Haha, who knows, the identity of the contractor has nothing to do with age. ”
"Boss, one more thing for you, do you know Zait? ”
"BangorI know that most of the merchants in Saian go to Bangor to buy their goods, but I've never heard the name Zait, sorry. ”
When Arthur shook his head and said, "It's okay," no one noticed that a pair of eyes were fixed on them because of Zait's three words.
"Thank you, boss, for telling us so much, it's all very important information. ”
The boss waved his hand at the young man, smiled and picked up the cup again to wipe it: "What is this, it's all common sense information, even if I don't say it, you can easily understand it from other places." ”
"Whether it was easy or difficult, it was a blank before I didn't know, and the owner was the one who let us know, so thank you. But can you tell us about these things in such an objective way, especially about the situation of the church, boss, aren't you a believer?"
"Well, my parents and wife are very devout believers, and as for me...... Well, I will pray with them, I will go to church activities together, respect their ideas, and of course respect God and the church, and I have long been accustomed to these things, and I have long stopped thinking about whether I believe in God or not, as long as my family is safe and happy, and the tavern business can always be stable. ”
Blinking, Arthur smiled, "I see, thank you, boss." ”
