Chapter 172: Huttonmar's Disturbances
Although, there was a lot of commotion outside.
However, Priest Berry was quite comfortable at the trial in the Cathedral of Remidia.
There wasn't anything he needed to do here.
I went out and asked for a few days at the beginning.
No one cared about him after that.
Berry was happy to be at ease.
Every day with the information that those people registered for him.
Let's go inside the tower.
Although the number of layers entered is not high because of itself.
But, that's it.
Those books have benefited Berry a lot.
For, Berry.
During these years, he was a missionary outside.
Some accumulation, he is no longer weak.
What is lacking is only an opportunity, a breakthrough.
And now, isn't that an opportunity?
The knowledge on these books.
The cultivation that made Berry feel like he had entered a bottleneck actually had some possibility of loosening.
Well, you have to catch it.
If I missed this time.
I don't know how long I'll have to wait next time.
Although every day he basically pounces on it.
Don't worry about not being able to read it.
After all, in terms of his strength, these things are not much exceeded.
Some things can be inferred from the look.
Anyway, Priest Berry is a little happy here.
He wondered if he should join the Inquisition.
After all, there are things that are only open to members inside the Inquisition.
Others can also view it though.
However, the conditions required are still somewhat harsh.
It's not as convenient as inside the courthouse.
Priest Berry, though, he just thought about it for a moment.
I just don't feel good.
Self is character is this.
If you join the Inquisition and get used to it, can you stand it?
Berry gave himself a cross in his mind.
That's definitely not going to work.
As for the girls who came with him, they weren't as laid-back as he was.
There are no idlers in the Inquisition.
A couple of girls though are nothing.
But if you let them stay like this.
Definitely not.
Plus their qualifications are also good.
Some people in the Inquisition felt that it would be better to cultivate it first.
These girls also have some foundation.
They are very strong in their faith.
So, after consulting them.
The girls were all in the court.
Of course, you can only start from the lowest place first.
If you try.
It's not hard to change your destiny.
At least becoming a professional in the twenties is not a problem at all.
Actually, when they came here.
Their fate has changed.
It's just that this change is not on their own initiative.
Rather, passively accept.
But the Church is not the same as the dark Order.
He at least gives you the right to choose.
Then you can choose your own path in the future.
Sheruda, of course, wanted to stay here.
Although they would love to go back to Gerry Town.
However, that is obviously not possible.
compared to going to other unfamiliar places.
Then this is naturally the best place to go.
And here, they can learn more systematically.
Very much guidance from teachers.
Priest Berry told them this when he came.
Naturally, Sheruda and the others would not refuse the kindness of others.
After all, they also know that such a thing is a good thing.
Some people don't have a chance to join if they want to.
Not everyone wants the Inquisition.
It's up to you to see if you have that chance.
Anyway, they're all part of the list now.
Although there is only a simple name there.
However, this is no longer the case.
They were already apprentices of the Church at the Inquisition of the Cathedral of Remidia.
Although, it's an apprenticeship.
However, it is not what they imagined.
They weren't asked to do anything, they were taught first.
It will take them about three years to complete it.
After passing the exam, they can choose their preferred faction.
After further study.
They will be sent out for training.
It's just that there aren't many such actions.
It's just that so that they don't forget the skills of fighting.
After all, after their studies.
A lot of people won't stay there.
Rather, they are going out on a mission.
If you don't have a little combat awareness of people, then you are just sending people to death?
Naturally, the church does not make such mistakes.
Those who come out of judgment.
His fighting skills may be a little rusty, but it's definitely impossible not to do without.
And, in the course of previous learning.
They have mastered something.
Just give them some time, and these things will quickly turn into their experience.
The way in which the Inquisition Institute is cultivated can be said to be very good.
However, the church on the mainland has done so.
After all, there are just too many resources to be spent.
And the payback time is very long.
In case something happens in between.
Then the previous efforts are all taken in.
So there's no need to do that kind of thing.
It's just that the situation in the church is not so good now.
The acquiescence of the parliament of the Duchy of Belmar.
Queen Skady's dodge.
Makes things tricky.
At least there is no way for the church now.
Those people are very good at taking measure.
Nor did the present act go beyond what the laws of the principality allowed.
It can be said that they are frantically testing the bottom line of the church on the boundaries of the law.
Wanting to provoke a reaction from the church.
Then, I want to expand things.
Now the initiative of public opinion is in their hands.
It's hard for the church to fight back.
But it seems that they are not dead and want to go further.
The church didn't give them a chance.
Instead, as if they didn't see it, they just didn't do anything.
It's the best they can think of right now.
Any action taken now may be targeted by the other side.
Then just don't take action.
They wanted to see what the council guys were up to.
There's definitely something going on here.
It's just that they don't know.
These actions of the other party are obvious, don't they just want them to be out?
Then they do something good.
It must be so.
The church even sent people to some of the families with whom they had befriended them.
But these people are always on their own, and they pretend not to know about some restrictions.
It was as if they had just returned to Huttonmar.
The promise is very good.
But it didn't actually do it at all.
There may even be a lot of effort behind it.
It's just that these can't be said.
It's not just a matter of whether there's no evidence.
Rather, even if there is evidence.
On the bright side, you have to be good, too.
Otherwise, it will not be beneficial for anyone to tear their faces on both sides.
After all, some of the upper nobility were older than the Church.
It already existed during the time of the Peruvian Empire.
Who knows how many things they still have in their hands.
In general, the church doesn't want to offend them.
After all, that's not good for the church.
A sacred covenant signed at the beginning.
Although it brings great detachment to the church.
However, there is more relative repression.
Don't say anything else.
The article that "the church cannot directly participate in the management of the affairs of the principality of Belmar, and the subordinate churches cannot participate in the management of local affairs" directly locked the church up.
Let his upper echelons in the Duchy of Belmar have no voice of their own at all.
Previously, the royal family of the Duchy of Belmar, the Skadi family, was fortunately on the side of the church.
Help balance the relationship between each other.
But wait until Queen Skady comes to power.
The relationship between the two sides has fallen to a freezing point.
The reason is that when Queen Skady came to the throne.
The Church provided refuge to the king's younger brother, now Prince Ortiz.
Although it is said that it did not help the other party to reset.
Moreover, they also handed over Ortiz after receiving a promise that "the queen would not endanger Ortiz's life".
However, their initial actions succeeded in angering the woman.
After that.
The relationship between the royal family of the Duke of Belmar has taken a sharp turn for the worse with them.
The Skadi family was outraged that the church did not insist on sheltering Ortiz.
The queen was angry at the promise the church had made.
Even the people of the time were dissatisfied.
Think the church has deceived them.
Since then, the situation in the church has been somewhat problematic.
But no one expected it to come to this.
Cold relations with the royal family.
It represents the beginning of a change in the contradictions between the church and the council.
Since then, public opinion has been directed to the church, consciously or unconsciously.
It subtly influences people's approach to the church.
They are in no hurry to change anything.
Rather, this public opinion is in its own hands.
It feels really good.
The church can't do anything.
He can't limit people's speech.
You can't argue about anything on your own.
Because, this is the restriction that the contract gives him.
No one is going to have their voice in parliament for the Church of Light at all.
To do that would be a fool.
Those upper aristocrats only cared about profits.
And the church is the existence that affects their interests.
Naturally, we have to find a way to reduce its impact.
After all. The road must be walked step by step, and the steps cannot be too big and pull the eggs.
It's not that the church doesn't have anyone who can't see their intentions.
But what can the church do?
These things are done in violation of the original sacred covenant.
What can the church do?
Some of the constraints in it are still taught to be added by themselves.
In order to reassure others.
Who thinks?
As a result, he really tied himself up in the end.
The cost of breaking the sacred covenant is something the church cannot afford.
So, the best thing they can do right now is to do nothing.
Just wait.
Let's see what tricks are going to be played on the other side.
The church can wait, but they don't know if they can afford it.
There will always be one side that strikes first.
It depends on who can't help it first.
Moreover, the church doesn't really do nothing, just wait here.
Both the Inquisition and the Judgment were sent out.
Their job is to investigate these things.
The main point is still on the side of the upper nobility.
Because, these things are obviously deliberately pushed by someone.
And parliament plays a very important role in this.
Even if it's not them.
The upper echelons of the aristocracy behind the council must have known something, too.
What kind of interests made them let go of their prejudices about each other.
Together against the church.
This is clearly a long-planned conspiracy.
It is even possible to start planning a long time ago.
It hasn't been revealed until now.
Although they can't figure out what the benefits of doing this are.
Giving in a little bit of interest for the sake of the church?
It's simply not possible.
However, this does not prevent those from attacking them.
This church investigation was not an open-minded visit.
It's a little more secretive.
They need to figure out what the hell those people are doing.
Naturally, it can't be like last time.
Even if the other party knew something, it was impossible to tell them.
Then only some of the necessary means can be used.
Naturally, this is not known to others.
Nor would their church do anything like that.
Those things can only be done by thieves roaming the Duchy of Belmar.
Isn't it?
They are not pedantic.
It's not really stubborn.
How is it possible to only know conservative dogma and not know how to be flexible?
It's all for the church.
Presumably, Mistress Michelle will understand them if she finds out.
But for now, the church is doing it very secretively.
No one noticed the problem.
Or rather, no one has linked the kidnapping of family members to the church.
After all, in their eyes, the church will always be kind and kind.
Who would have thought that they would do such a thing.
But it doesn't matter.
Now the focus of parliament is drawn to one thing.
So that they don't have the leisure to come to the trouble of the church.
That's a letter from the Delos Empire.
"In view of the instability of the situation in your country, the Empire would like to send troops to pick up the soldiers of the Arri camp, and I hope that your country will allow it.
Our troops will cross the border in seven days.
I hope that the soldiers of your country will cooperate.
Emperor of the Delos Empire
Leon Hainrich III"
The content of the letter is brief.
But the content is enough to make people nervous.
What the hell are those lunatics in the Delos Empire trying to do?
Could it be that they perceived?
I also want to come in and intervene.
How is this possible?
They even want to kick out the church.
How could such a country be welcomed to join.
This is simply not possible.
Moreover, the Delos Empire didn't necessarily come for that.
They may have other purposes.
However, the current situation of the principality just gave them an excuse.
Now the main thing is to know what the other party's purpose is.
to make the best judgment.
Otherwise, you will take the wrong step.
Their efforts are going to be in vain.
It's just a situation that isn't allowed at all.
Anyway, what to say.
This letter from the Delos Empire is a very dangerous signal.
Even things for the church can be put aside first.
Take care of this matter first and then move on to the rest.
After all, the Church was for them an internal affair of the principality.
The Delos Empire is external.
This cold-blooded empire has always dreamed of a unified continent.
They don't look at what era it is, they always want to go back in time.
Is that possible?
But these things still need to be discussed together.
If you want to give up now.
It's a shame.
The church is only one last step away.
