Chapter Thirty-Six: Human Head and Blood Flower

It's time for the Dragon City Cathedral to meet every 10 days. ,!

During the assembly, in addition to the lowliest probationary priests, thousands of clergy of all sizes in the Dragon City will gather to listen to the bishop's will to convey the Holy Light in the imposing cathedral and assign the latest tasks.

The Holy Light Sect's power in Dragon City is very strong, just in the team of priests on the bright side, there are dozens of high-level professionals, among which Archbishop Luo Wan is a high-level intermediate, which can be converted into a Yuan Infant, and there are another seven or eight people at the same level, and there are hundreds of middle-level professionals. With so many priests gathered in one place, chanting psalms in praise of the Holy Light, the power of pious faith through the bishop will make the Holy Light in the cathedral rise to the sky, like a divine sword through the heavens and the earth.

This scene will happen every ten days, but every time it will still make people who see it fascinated. This is a rule set by Archbishop Rowan decades ago, and it is necessary to use this daily ritual to continuously imprint the imprint of the Holy Light on people's hearts. As for the effect...... It can also be seen from the tenfold increase in the number of believers in the past few decades.

Peter, dressed in a gray robe, has been busy since before dawn.

As a middle-level pastor of the church, if he were placed elsewhere, he could already become a bishop of a small township and lean on one side, but in the diocese of Longcheng, with hundreds of clergy like him, the middle-level pastor is not a big deal at all. But fortunately, he has the attention and attention of Archbishop Rowan, and his future is much brighter than those public faces.

It was ten years ago, by chance, that the archbishop was inspecting the priests' quarters. Most of the young priests were in a mess in the dormitory, but Peter made a good impression on the archbishop by arranging everything in good order, and in the following years he gradually handed over some trivial chores, and Peter did it every time beautifully.

So now Peter is in charge of the 10-day meetings. It sounds simple, but it is also a test of ability to arrange thousands of people in order, and Peter began to prepare with the servants in the cathedral before dawn, and finally got everything ready an hour before the assembly began.

Then, he waited patiently for more and more priests to gather from all over the world to await the arrival of the archbishop. According to common sense, he would appear in the middle of the square, first chanting hymns, drawing faith and inspiring the Light, so that the sword of the Light would pierce the sky. After this ceremony, the next 10 days of work will be arranged.

Peter stood by the high platform where the archbishop spoke, and waited quietly, but until the time had passed, the archbishop did not show up, and was late.

Peter was shocked that for decades he had never been late for a meeting unless there was a special task on the Holy City side that left the archbishop with no time to be separated. Could it be ......

Peter glanced at a young priest in the back and asked him to go to the archbishop's bedroom. But before he finished his task, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the square was a little strange.

Turning his head, Peter was surprised to find that there had been one more on the high platform on which the archbishop had stood

A tall and thin man, with a white robe and a holy man, surprisingly, the man's face was blank, without facial features, and he looked eerie and terrifying, which made people shudder.

"Who are you?"

Peter immediately wanted to ask a question, but found that he couldn't open his mouth at all, let alone speak

Obviously, the same is true of the rest of the people in the square, otherwise someone should have questioned why this stranger was standing in the position of archbishop.

"Quiet." The Facelings raised their hands, "I am the new Chief Inquisitor appointed by the Holy City. ”

Before everyone had time to question, the Facelings let out a special radiance: "This is proof of the Holy City

Most of the thousands of people present had enough insight to recognize the emblem of the Holy City, and after seeing that it was indeed issued by the Holy City, everyone relaxed their vigilance. It's just strange in my heart, why did the court, which has always been low-key and unknown, suddenly become so high-profile?

In previous decades, the judges of the Inquisition had never been present at a meeting. More than eighty percent of these thousands of clergy have never even seen the chief magistrate, Earl Conrad, and it is unknown what the church is doing to change the chief magistrate.

"I know that many people wonder why the chief judge has changed from Conrad to me, and I, as the leader of the shady organization of the Inquisition, have to appear at the assembly of your group of upright people. To put it simply, I have come with a sacred mission to change the status quo of the city, where many old rules will be broken and new rules will be established. ”

The Faceless One said, "For example, from now on, I will take the place of Archbishop Rowan in the exercise of diocesan administration, and I hope that you will seriously cooperate with my work. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and as a close confidant of the archbishop, Peter was even more surprised that the scriptures in his hand fell to the ground.

Presiding over the work in place of Archbishop Rowan? What is this road number? Rowan has been the administrator of the Diocese of Dragon City for more than 30 years, and during this time, he has been conscientious and has never missed a major omission. And now that he is old, most people think that he will stay in the position of archbishop until retirementβ€”the senior clergy of the Holy Light Church are for life, so it means to rest until death. So, why would a new chief referee suddenly appear and take away Rowan's authority? Moreover, even if there is a replacement for Rowan, it should be promoted from among the local pastors. The senior priest who is eyeing the position of archbishop also has so many dozen or twenty people in Dragon City, and each of them has the capital to succeed. At worst, they can also raise the parish saints, at least their popularity is strong enough. And the Inquisition, which has always walked in the shadows, why is it jumping to the front of the stage now?

"Because there is no one in the diocese of Dragon City anymore." The Faceless One made a seemingly helpless gesture, "Your archbishop and the Holy Maiden have defected, and the Holy City believes that the clergy of the local diocese can no longer be trusted, so I am the only one in charge of the work. ”

As if thunder thundered on the ground, Peter only felt that his eyes were dazed and his heart was beating wildly.

The archbishop and the saint defected to the enemy? This, how is this possible? Something must have gone wrong

Looking around, the people in the square were equally incredulous, and they all cast shocked eyes.

However, the Faceless One even hesitated to give a further explanation, and said to himself: "The rebellion of the two is due to the conspiracy of the Dragon City Lord Bedwell, and the ambition of the wolf son of Bedwell is trying to use the infiltration from above to the bottom to disintegrate the power of the Holy Light Sect in Dragon City. Fortunately, the saints of the Holy City were aware of everything and uncovered his conspiracy in advance. Now that the two traitors have defected, it's time for us to chase down the poor and burn Bedwell, the traitor and the mastermind behind it, at the stake. Well, to put it simply, it's about starting a war against Dragon City. ”

Unleashing a war on Dragon City? Peter's heart was even tighter, war, the word was too far away for the priest of Dragon City. Everyone knew that there might be a battle between the Dao Church and Dragon City, but everyone felt that at least they wouldn't see that day

"Well, this kind of thing is war, sooner rather than later, I think we have all the personnel now, so it's better to set off now. Hit them off guard. ”

Who is it that catches me off guard?

"However, so many people, if the command and dispatch are not right, they are just a rabble, so I have a commander for you." As he spoke, the Faceless Man raised his hand, and hundreds of golden figures suddenly rose in the square in front of the cathedral.

Peter's eyes froze, and he recognized the golden figures.

"Archon of Light?"

The puppet lifeforms designed by the Holy Light Cult specifically to fight the heresy war, have no true independent intelligence, but possess unparalleled war talents. The Archons of Light can establish a spiritual connection with dozens of priests through a shared belief in the Light, and then command each of them with precision, mastering every detail of the battlefield with skillful grasping, and are born war machines.

This kind of puppet lifeform is extremely powerful in large-scale wars, and it is a rare super-first-class grassroots commander. The Holy Light Sect has always regarded it as a trump card, and it will only be dispatched when dealing with extremely tenacious opponents, and now it is more than a hundred in scale, which is no less than a holy war

"Let go of your spirits, I've assigned you your respective commanders, and you'll just have to do what you're told. It's very simple to deal with heresy. ”

The priests in the square were amazed, and it was overwhelming to see how much had changed in such a short period of time this morning. The Faceless One's resoluteness is too ......

Peter, who was closest to the high platform, saw that no one spoke nearby, and thinking of the consequences of starting a war, he had to muster up the courage to admonish: "Judge, the stakes are high in waging a holy war, and you need to be cautious." β€œ

The Faceling: "Are you questioning my sloppiness?" ”

"Don't dare, it's just, it's too sudden."

"As the current administrator of the Diocese of Dragon City, with the authority of the Holy City, I do not need to ask anyone else for advice to start a holy war. As for sudden...... "The Faceless One suddenly turned his head, "not suddenly, do you want to let you spies report in advance?" ”

Facing that pale face, Peter only felt that all the secrets in his heart could not be hidden.

That's right, he was indeed a nail in the coffin that Dragon City had placed in the church. Dragon City and the Holy Light Sect have been dealing with each other for decades, and their infiltration with each other has long reached a very high level. And as a close confidant of the archbishop, he is not the highest-ranking one. There has been no major friction between the two forces for decades, and these nails have made great contributions to mediation. They don't need to come forward to make any big moves, they just need to add a little force somewhere in their daily operations, and they can make a big difference in things, so their existence is also very hidden, for example, even the archbishop doesn't see that he actually has a connection with Dragon City.

However, now, his identity was actually revealed by an external referee.

Boundless fear descended from the sky and enveloped my mind.

"Well, anyway, since the war is going to start, let's clean up the traitors first."

The Faceless Man waved his hand, and for a moment, Peter felt a heat on his head, as if he heard a crisp explosion, and he didn't know anything.

At the same time, on the square, hundreds of blood flowers bloomed on people's heads.
