Chapter 34: Darkness

Inside the Cathedral of Remidia

Bright sunlight shone through the window onto the vase on the table.

A book spreads out on a long white carved table.

Obes was in no mood to look at it.

It's been seven days since he came back. But there was no news from the church.

Kevin and Jair were taken away directly from above the church.

He, Snow, and others were ordered to be grounded in the church.

There is simply no way to leave the church.

But about the mysterious rituals of the Dark Order, the Curse of Blood, the Pretenders. It's as if there's no news at all, as if it never happened.

There was no reaction from above the church at all.

The news that he asked others to inquire about was like a fish sinking into the sea.

Then, he heard that Snow had been transferred. It seems to have been sent to a small church in the Delos Empire.

This undoubtedly stifled the possibility of promotion for Snow, a priesthood with a promising future.

Obes knew that this might be the work of the Casirachi, the holy family behind Jayer. Grounding oneself is one's own family's protection of oneself.

But he couldn't figure out that his family was also one of the holy families of the Church, the Roshbach family, and that they were also descendants of the Five Sages family who had followed Mistress Michelle in the first place. The Casirachi family didn't dare to do anything to themselves.

He couldn't figure out why the family had made such a decision.

However, for Snow's transfer, Obes can still understand.

Snow was an ordinary cleric. It's just that he has some talent, and now he is pushed out as a victim between the families.

Still, Obes keenly sensed that something seemed to be wrong with the church right now. It's like calm water, but it's actually rough below.

The reaction of the church is really strange right now.

Pretender, this is the existence that once almost destroyed the continent.

It has now been rediscovered after hundreds of years. But the church didn't immediately investigate. It's a very calm look, which is very abnormal.

There is a problem.

Obes recalled.

He had just returned to the Order that day. Give Kevin and Jair to the others.

Then he reported the situation to the deacon.

In the beginning, it was all normal.

Then, at night.

He was called to the chamber of Archbishop Geralt Roshbach. That's the elder of his own family.

And what he has in his hand is the file of his own operation. Obes still remembers that Geralt Roshbach had told him to leave it alone. As if he hadn't been there at all. The church will have someone else in charge.

Then he threw his file into the burning fire.

Then, what came down was the church's reprimand for the action, and the punishment of confinement.

But this confinement is more interesting than a painless reprimand.

They were ordered not to leave the Cathedral of Remidia. Rather than being locked up in a confinement room dedicated to the reflection of the mistakes of the clergy.

This reprimand doesn't even look like a punishment. It's their protection.

Obes couldn't figure out why this was happening.

And then, Snow, Tomab, Araza, and a few other clergy who are not members of the Holy Family were transferred out of the church, which made the whole thing reveal a kind of weirdness.

However, Archbishop Geralt Roshbach did not see him.

Now, he can only confirm that terrible thought in his heart by looking up information.

Is it all a church-led farce?

He wasn't sure.

Obes didn't dare to think about it. He now felt that thinking about it was a blasphemy against his faith.

It's just that it all seems to point to that idea.

Obes is now full of contradictions of his own.

He didn't dare to tell anyone what he thought.

I don't dare to let others know.

。。。。。。

Baruch and Brenes also noticed something was wrong.

The abnormal treatment of the church.

Captain Obers's unusual reaction, Snow's seniors and the transfer of others.

A warning from his own family.

Of course, it was strange to them that this operation, no matter what they said, they cleared the stronghold of a dark order and rescued more than a dozen ordinary people. Even if there are casualties, they should at least be rewarded by the church.

But now there is nothing.

Instead, he was grounded by the church.

But no one told them, and the captain wouldn't say anything.

So they didn't think much about it.

Although he was a little angry at first, he was treated unfairly.

But soon it was almost forgotten.

Would love to brag about my experience to the rest of my peers.

But others didn't believe it at all, because the action was not recorded by the church at all.

At first, everyone thought that the captain did not hand in the mission file, but as time went on, it became longer.

They also realized that something was wrong.

But Obes said nothing to them.

Shut yourself in your house all day.

They also have no way.

。。。。。。

It's just this time.

The interior of the church is not as calm as others seem.

Archbishop Geralt Rochbach looked out the window at the golden cross on the dome, glowing golden in the afterglow of the setting sun.

He silently prayed, "O God! Please turn out my crimes. Forgiveness, my ignorance. ”

I really didn't expect that one day the descendants of Roshbach, one of the Five Sages, would also bear the cross of sin one day.

He still remembers what it was like when Ronnie Biggs came up with the plan.

The madness of the time, the shock and surprise of several of them.

None of them expected Ronnie Biggs to come up with such a crazy plan.

This is not at all like the words of a priest who believes in the gods.

How much of an impact does it have on the church if something like this goes out.

It can even directly destroy the faith of the church.

Fighting evil with evil?

At that time, the number of priests receiving revelation was far from sufficient, and the problem could not be effectively resolved in a short time.

Ronnie Biggs found that the speed at which the curse of blood spreads varies from person to person, but in general, women are much slower to spread their symptoms than men when they are infected.

So they can rely on artificially creating pretenders to discern the pretenders.

Use these girls to fight evil.

So, they were all silent at that time.

But when that thing passes.

The church soon scrapped the program, which no one knew about.

But despite the scrapping of the project, Ronnie Biggs did not stop his experiments.

Instead, it became even more intense.

They can only abolish His Light.

Declare that he has been sacrificed.

Then he was excommunicated from the church.

I thought this was going to be the end of it.

But Geralt Roschbach didn't expect to hear from him again

Ronnie Biggs in the Dark Order.

Unexpectedly, he turned his back on the light after all.

It's all their fault.

Because Ronnie Biggs is still inextricably linked to the church.

So, when you see the traces of the Blood Curse of the Holy Cross on Jair's body.

This matter, they will directly suppress it.

Otherwise, something big will come out.

Faced with an old priest, they really don't know how to deal with it.

But the danger of the Blood Curse is well known.

Now I can only rely on the power of the family.

The church is now too mixed. The slightest mishandling of this can lead to the disintegration of the church.

At that time, they were all sinners of the whole church.
