Chapter 625: Nothing New

Hou Dasheng has always felt very amazing about the rise of the Holy See. After all, their origins are Abrahamism. Then they began to expand into what is now the Holy See, and at first they were hunted down almost everywhere.

"The legion has recorded some secret ......" Benoit seemed a little hesitant, and was silent for a while before whispering to Hou Dasheng: "It can be said that the Holy See and investors almost complement each other. The timing of their appearance is very ...... Approach! ”

Exhale deeply, it would be much more reasonable to say so. The emergence of any form of organization must and must have an economic basis. During the Roman Empire, there was no doubt that such large-scale, cross-regional alliances were the easiest to form.

The reason is simple, the territory of the Roman Empire was too large at that time. From Spain, Gaul and Britain in the west, to the upper reaches of the Euphrates River in the east, to northern Africa in the south, and to the Rhine and Danube rivers in the north, the Mediterranean Sea became the inland sea of the empire, which at its peak controlled about 5 million square kilometers of land.

In such a large territory, his ethnicity, religion, and culture are ...... And so on, the composition is incomparably complex. For the sake of their own interests, some unofficial ones involve economic, political, and military ...... of secret groups will naturally appear.

"The records are very ...... Well, I can't just give it to you. I can't tell you directly. Benoit exhaled and whispered, "I can only say that at first they didn't call investors. There wasn't even a name, just a secret gathering of people. Then decide what everyone will do together. ”

Hou Dasheng nodded, he could understand. Because in the early days of the Roman Empire, there was a system of senates.

There is nothing new under the sun, and in fact everything that is happening now is a microcosm and repetition of history that once happened. It's just that times have changed, and the way they are presented has changed.

"For some reason, maybe someone in the Holy See has become something like an injector. So, they began to gain support. What followed is what you can see from the history books......"

For Benoit's words, Hou Dasheng smiled and nodded. What happened later can indeed be seen. The Holy See became the state religion of the Roman Empire. They gained the support of power, began to exclude and became the largest denomination.

But Benoit whispered: "Of course, the organization that may not have been called an investor at that time felt threatened. As a result, the sect began to split. ”

The origin of Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Hou Dasheng slowly exhaled. Benoit seemed to sense what Hou Dasheng was thinking, and continued with a smile: "Obviously, the Holy See is very forbearing. They swallowed the breath, but later. retaliatory measures were launched......"

This kind of thing, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong. The Holy See must have encouraged the interests of investors in some respects. Investors are naturally not good at stubble, and the counterattack must have been made.

"The Roman Empire has gone into history, and the fighting between the two sides has gradually ceased to some extent. They also need to support each other in order to continue. Benoit smiled and whispered, "Of course, investors also developed at that time. ”

The fall of the Roman Empire meant the outbreak of wars and a new order in Western Europe. Those new nations and people, they need strength. These forces include money, weapons, intelligence, ...... Wait a minute.

Who can have more of these than investors?! Undoubtedly, it was this organization that drew the most nutrients from the Roman Empire. Those who survived the collapse of the Roman Empire, useful ones will be absorbed. Growing the organization.

"The official war between the Holy See and the investors should have been in the Middle Ages. Until then, their relationship with each other should be that of an alliance or a collaborator. Benoit looked at Hou Dasheng and said in a low voice: "The result of the Orthodox side is ...... You saw it. ”

Hou Dasheng nodded, Orthodox Christianity later experienced various changes, sometimes rising, sometimes declining.

"On the Catholic side, they directly chose to go to war with investors. At that time, the competition between the two sides ranged from commercial, military to political ......"

Benoit is referring to a long period after the collapse of the Roman Empire. It was a chaotic period, with a constant change in the order system, with the rise of military orders and dervishes.

"You think the Inquisition of Heresy is only a trial of heretics?!" But Benoit looked at Hou Dasheng with a smile and said in a low voice: "What they actually execute the most is to hunt down investors!" It includes exposed capital injectors, investment targets, and subordinate personnel...... Wait a minute. ”

saw Benoit pause, his face was solemn: "That's right, that's war!" A war that cannot be put on the table, the two sides of the war can only fight each other in their own ways. But no one will reveal who their opponents are. A secret war that only they themselves know! ”

Hou Dasheng smiled bitterly, he had long felt that the heresy trial was a bit weird. After all, they were already a monopoly at the time. There are hardly any foreign sects that can compete with them. As early as the time of the Roman Empire, almost any countervailing power was eliminated.

And what else are they judging?! Even though the Roman Empire had fallen, the papacy's enormous influence and power still existed. They have a huge base that no other denomination can compete with. There is no need for heresy at all.

Because that's what they've always done. Temple of Serabis, Library of Alexandria, Ancient Olympic Games...... Wait, they can't be ruthless. There is absolutely no need to establish any heresy trial. Because they have been judging all along, and they have no hesitation in doing so.

"In the struggle of that period, investors lost a lot. But the Holy See ...... The losses are not small......"

Indeed, the office of pope at that time was a very risky profession. Popes who were murdered and even hanged directly by the emperor's envoys appeared. Several families that have produced large numbers of faculty members have been annihilated in history.

"It's a complicated process, so I won't go into details. As you can see, it's the current situation. Benoit smiled wryly and said, "There are two special cases interspersed in between: the service provider, and our legion. ”

saw Benoit pause, and said softly: "In fact, in the early days, after the decline of the Holy See, there were still places for the legion to inject funds. Where we were then is where you are now. ”

When Hou Dasheng heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded! Benoit looked at Hou Dasheng and said in a low voice: "Don't think I'm joking, what I'm telling you is the truth." ”

"The legion at that time, trying to penetrate into various areas. We also have this capital, after all, we have assisted certain countries in fighting several crusades. We have earned a lot of wealth. ”

After a pause, Benoit spread his hands and sighed softly: "In the beginning, we were very successful, and we reaped commercial benefits. There is also political support, and we still have the armed forces at our disposal. But ......"

"We're still being killed." saw Benoit pick up the wine glass and finish the wine in the cup in one gulp: "The Holy See and investors worked together." Everything that seemed so powerful to us fell apart in an instant......"

"Fortunately, investors think that it is good to let us know what we can't cover. Of course, the reason why we are not completely destroyed is because they feel that our existence is good for them. After all, we've already made a difference......"

After a pause, Benoit whispered, "And the premise of our continued existence is that we must no longer have force." Of course, they directly wiped out all the force we might have. Not a single one left. It was your seniors who were in charge of doing this at the time. ”

Hou Dasheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he didn't expect that the love, hatred, love and killing between each other would be so complicated.

"In fact, the existence of jackals was originally a service provider who wanted to achieve the same purpose through a similar path as ours. However, before they could form a threatening force, we were exterminated. ”

Benoit spread his hands and said softly, "They were terrified, after all, they were only used as a trading site at that time. The cruel methods of investors frightened them. Thereupon...... They didn't hesitate to hand you over to the investors. ”

"Although there was still a gap between the Jackal's combat capability and ours at that time, it had the intelligence support of service providers, the financial resources of investors, and the support of personnel. The jackal has grown rapidly. At the same time, by exterminating the Legion, the Jackals began to become a force that was not small. ”

After a pause, Benoit leaned back in his chair: "With that beginning, the investors restructured the service provider. The current structure of the service provider council has been formed. Oh~ At that time, Zion was not eligible to join. They are latecomers, so they are also unclear about the evolution of the council. ”

"In the early days of the Council, there were only three forces: the Legion, the Jackal, and the Holy See. Later introduced Zion, while taking care of the smooth development of the service provider. The chairman of the board of directors is designated as the representative who must be selected from among the stationmasters. ”

"Of course, since the service provider does not threaten the investors. Moreover, he honestly handed over his armed forces, and naturally won a seat in the capital injector. And we and the Holy See ...... It can only exist in the investor's council. ”

When Hou Dasheng heard this, he slowly raised his hand: "I want to know, has the jackal been secretly suppressed by you?!" ”

"What I want to tell you is: before you, there was." Benoit shrugged his shoulders and said, "For a long time, jackals weren't even qualified to know about the existence of investors. All directives are given at the Council. ”

"Of course, the Holy See and the legions, who are fake public and private, have also taken the opportunity to cause losses to the jackals. But the trend is the trend after all, and small means cannot stop the trend. You have finally gained the right to know. Of course, at that stage you are still not eligible to become a capital contributor. ”

Benoit sighed leisurely: "You and the service provider, it's good." Because, you can also become a capital injector. That is, the internal directors of the investor, you can understand it this way. ”

"But we, and the Holy See, have lost that qualification. And if we consider developing an intelligence system or a force system without authorization, then we are waiting for ......"

"It's going to be a killing!"
