Chapter 888: The Beginning of Change
A matter of faith!
In fact, before the Battle of Lookout began, Dale Seaworth had already vaguely sensed that the Lord of the Dawn was feeling something strange about him.
Whether it was the subtle changes in his daily prayers, or the dream of the shepherds that he often dreamed of at night, Dale Seaworth felt a little uneasy.
One of the most obvious changes is in the use of divine magic, in the past, the holy warriors used to rely more on their own understanding of the way of holy light, but recently, especially before and after the battle of Wangxiang City, he obviously found that it was more convenient for him to perform divine magic.
The speed of the magic feedback is probably more than a third higher than before, but the quality has decreased slightly.
But this was just his personal feeling, for most of the lower-middle-class paladins, this change in quality was barely noticeable to them, and everyone was cheering at the increase in the speed of divine feedback, which meant that the Lord of Dawn's authority as a god had gone further.
And Lord Stannis had spoken to Dale about faith long before the Paladin Expeditionary Force set out.
"If one day the Lord of the Dawn ceases to be the Lord of the Dawn, will you still believe in Him?" Dale remembered the worried look on Master Stannis's face when he said this.
This kind of rebellious words made Dale Seaworth's heart stop beating half a beat, and he smiled reluctantly: "My lord, I don't understand your words, how can the Lord of the Dawn change." ”
At that time, he naively thought that Lord Stannis's belief in the Lord of the Dawn had changed due to his own situation, and he did not have the courage to get involved in the affairs between the church and Lord Stannis, so he could only pretend not to understand.
The legendary paladin Stannis Baratheon has always been the signature of the Dawn Church, and for many years he has been standing up to the future of the strongest paladin, making the Dawn Church superior to the entire Church United.
There are even rumors in the outside world that he may be the only legendary powerhouse who can draw with the Witch King of the New World in a one-on-one battle.
But even this legendary powerhouse has his own troubles, his daughter Shireen, the princess of House Baratheon, the only heir of Lord Stannis, was plotted by the Chaos Cultists when she was young.
Those Chaos Worshippers infected the little princess of House Baratheon with the plague from Nurgle, and even with the power of Lord Stannis, they were unable to use the magic of removing diseases to dispel their daughter's special diseases.
He can only rely on his vast power of light to keep his daughter's situation from worsening, and for this reason, Lord Stannis has hardly left his daughter in recent years, even on the battlefields of the Chaos Fallen Zone, he will take his daughter with him.
Because of this, Lord Stannis's daughter was infected by the Chaos Plague, which was not a secret within the Church, and many clergy knew about it.
There has never been a shortage of dogma-bound heads in the church, stinking and hard as stones, and there are many people who have been using a tough attitude to 'purify' Shireen Baratheon.
Of course, none of them succeeded, and many of them ended up paying a heavy price under Lord Stannis's iron fist and sword, but because of this, the attitude towards Stannis within the church became more and more tough.
This tough attitude is only a superficial statement, as Stannis's most trusted lieutenant, Dale Seaworth actually knows that in private, many clergy and Stannis are already on the same page.
Dale Seaworth worriedly borrowed the channel of the Wauking Church to get in touch with the upper echelons of the Dawn Church, and sure enough, the bloody dog who was scolded was bloody, and the annihilation of most of the Holy Warrior Expeditionary Force in the Far South was definitely the biggest scandal of the church in recent decades.
Although this matter has not spread for the time being, it will be sooner or later, and the church can be locked down for a while, but it cannot be hidden all the time.
And he, Dale Seaworth is the best backstabber, he is the acting commander, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.
During the call, Paladin Dale pretended to be inadvertently asked if Lord Stannis was okay, only to hear a chill from the other side.
Lord Stannis Baratheon recently withdrew from the Dawn Church due to illness, and did not want to be disturbed by the outside world for the time being.
Dale Seaworth, who heard this reason, almost choked in his throat without a breath, and the disease that could make the legendary paladin unable to go out due to illness could directly turn the Old World into a dead land, right?
Dale, who is adrift in the field, doesn't know what's going on inside the church, but it's certain that Master Stannis really broke with the church this time.
I just don't know what role the Dawn Church plays in this, after all, the current Pope of the Dawn Church is just a high-ranking priest, not a legendary powerhouse, and although his status is more lofty in many cases, he is not as important as Lord Stannis.
What Dale Seaworth didn't know was that the legendary paladin Stannis Baratheon had broken the sky in the Old World this time.
He openly declared that the Lord of Dawn was violating the rules of the path of Light.
Not to mention the Dawn Church, even the players of the Old World didn't expect such a wild way to be played among the aborigines.
The EU government has always been blind to the churches on its own territory, but it is suffering from not having enough high-end forces to compete with the other party, so it can only take the middle-level route, expanding its territory city by city, and this time seizing the opportunity to quickly send people to contact the blasphemous legendary paladin regardless of the reaction of the outside world.
As a result, the men they sent and those sent by the church clashed halfway through, and a sudden religious war began.
And Stannis Baratheon still went his own way, not caring about the rumors of the outside world, and took his daughter in and out of the Dawn Temple every day, forcibly preaching his theories.
Stannis openly declared that the Lord of Dawn was abandoning his personified side and moving closer to a regularization without emotion, good or evil, right or wrong, which he considered heretical and incorrect.
For thirteen days, Stannis preached to the faithful and the clergy in the Dawn Temple, forcing the Pope of the Dawn Church to officially abdicate and the Acting Pope temporarily administered the Dawn Church.
There is no way, I searched the entire Dawn Church, and I couldn't find a few strong people who could fight Stannis alone, and the churches of other gods rarely didn't express their position, and what was even more strange was that the Lord of Dawn himself didn't react at all.
