Chapter 118: Holy Capital Cain
Chapter 118 Holy Capital Cain
The CIS is a special country, in a sense, it is a federation of sectarian forces, and most of the civilians in the country are Christians. In the Azure Continent, there are so many sects that they can't be counted on two hands, and the CIS Sect covers three of them.
Cult of Titans, Cult of Darkness, Cult of the Tempest. The three major denominations compete with each other and cooperate with each other to maintain the country with the largest number of religious people. Usually the pope is elected from among the sons and daughters of the three holy religions, and there is a council of senators to assist the pope. The pope was very old and had publicly announced that he would be dismissed in two years, and it was because of this news that various struggles began within the three major denominations. After all, the sect from which the pope came from obviously suppressed the other two major sects, and it also had the highest right to speak, which can be seen from the distribution of seats in the Senate.
There are ten cardinals in the Senate, including four from the Dark Cult, three each from the Titan Cult and the Stormstorm Cult, because the current pope is from the Dark Cult. This struggle for supreme power is quite fierce in any country and power.
The most important point in the selection of the pope is strength, and the lowest strength of the new pope has also reached the rank of the hero realm, because the new pope will accept the inheritance of the old pope, which is the secret method of the CIS Sect, which can directly pass on part of the strength of the old pope to the chosen successor. The strength of the Pope is also the key to the benefit of the Blue Continent of the CIS Church. In the same heroic realm, the Pope's strength is recognized as stronger, just because the Pope has the secret methods of the three major sects...... The secret method of divine descent.
A secret method that can only be cast by those who are recognized, and once successfully used, it will make the gods descend for a short time, and this strength is no longer something that the hero realm can fight. However, the cost of the secret method of divine descent is very large, yes, the price is lifespan, and the Pope will consume his own life after using the secret method of divine descent, and may even die directly.
There has only been one secret method in history, and the pope at that time was forced to use it in order to resist the joint invasion of the four major powers, and it is recorded that the holy capital of Kaiin was full of blood and corpses all over the field, and the hundreds of thousands of combined armies of the four major countries were all wiped out, and no one was spared. In that battle, the Pope's power spread throughout the continent, and the horror of the gods also shocked the surrounding neighbors, even the Pope died on the spot, until now, no country dares to invade the Pope for no reason. In a way, the Pope's presence is like a nuclear bomb, intimidating all directions.
It is precisely for this reason that the ambitious Emperor Robert and the Dark High Priest Alliance did not choose to attack the CIS Church, but instead targeted the Kingdom of Aldis. On the other hand, the CIS has not asked about the wars of other countries for thousands of years, and generally speaking, if you don't recruit him, he won't provoke you.
Recently, due to the ignition of wars between neighboring countries, the Church has also increased its military strength, just like Rosen and the others saw, the elite doctrinal guards composed of ascetics patrolled outside the Holy City in groups of three or two to prevent the invasion of other countries, and easily killed the harassing demonic beasts, undead and the like. Rosen: They just happened to witness the battle of these ascetics.
The team of four ascetics who only had a bronze rank did not change their faces in the face of a silver-rank zombie king, even if they were injured, their expressions still did not change, blindly attacking, the most tragic thing was that one of them was seriously injured in the abdomen, and even the intestines and children flowed out and still attacked with iron rods, and finally beat the zombie king to pieces. Only three of the four ascetics remained, and they buried their colleagues expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened.
Originally, Rosen wanted to help, but was stopped by Dean Fei Fei. Because they are not members of the church, and in the country of the church, if they do not act rashly, they are likely to be judged as heretics and judged. It can be said that the CIS is somewhat xenophobic, and this is not the race, nationality, etc., but the identity of the believer. Regardless of your origin, if you are religious, then you are our brother.
These reminded Rosen of a word that is heartbreaking on Earth...... Cult! In some ways, the cult is really like a cult, such as ascetics, their fighting methods completely disregard their bodies and even their lives, think of the suicide attacks of cults, how similar this is!
But on the other hand, the people of the CIS are very united, except for those ascetics, the higher level will not force them to do anything, and even compared to some war-torn countries, the parishioners here are much happier, which is proved by the large number of refugees who fled from Aldis, if it is not attractive, the refugees would rather run more than stay here, right? On the contrary, if the church accepts refugees, there is a condition that a sect be chosen to join and abide by the dogma. It can be said that because of the War of the Imperial Kingdom, the number of people in the CIS has increased a lot.
Rosen smacked his lips and said, "I really don't know what these ascetics are thinking in their heads......
"They only have doctrine in their heads, and nothing else. These ascetics are all voluntary, if you want to become an ascetic, you have to stay in the Land of Destruction for at least three months and come out alive, those disciples are really crazy, you must know that even the powerhouses of the Hero Realm do not want to go to the Land of Destruction. ”
"What is the Land of Silence?" The tower asked blankly. As a remote Titan, the Iron Tower is not even as knowledgeable about the things on the continent as Lawson.
It was Rosen who answered him: "The Land of Silence should be a dead place in the north-central part of the Cult, it is said that it was once one of the battlefields of the ancient gods, because it was destroyed by powerful forces, there were often dimensional turbulences there, and there was only one person who was accidentally caught in the plane turbulence. ”
These are still what Rosen saw in the Great Library of St. Sorin, and it seems that no matter what world he goes, book knowledge cannot be pulled down.
Fei Fei nodded and added: "Every three months, the major sects will issue a call for ascetics, and all sects under the age of forty can sign up freely, regardless of identity, background, and strength, even if they are only at zero rank, they can also be selected. Once selected, the Church will guarantee a minimum subsistence for their families. The chosen people are said to be baptized within the sect, and their strength will be increased by a leap, and then they will go to the Land of Silence, and the minimum condition to be eligible is to survive in the Land of Silence for three months. Just now, Rosen also said that even people of my level can't guarantee survival in the plane turbulence of the Land of Annihilation, let alone those who are not very strong,
Not only that, but there are occasionally some ectopian creatures in the Land of Annihilation, and the environment there is extremely harsh, it is difficult to solve the problem of food alone, the temperature changes uncertainly, the heat in the morning is unbearable, and you may freeze to death in the afternoon, in short, once you survive there for three months, you will be recognized by your respective sects and obtain the cultivation methods within the sect, just now those three should be the ascetics of the Titan Holy Sect, and their physical defense is beyond the fighters of the same rank, I believe you can also see it. ”
A few people nodded, indeed in the battle just now, the strong defense of the four ascetics shocked them, even Lawson was shocked, the attack on the front weak point by the zombie king only made white marks on the skin, the strength of the body can be imagined, Lawson thinks that after being hit, he will definitely see red and will appear in a negative state such as poisoning and curse.
Suddenly, Rosen remembered Shirley, could it be that Shirley's sister was also sent to the Land of Silence for training? Thinking of this, Rosen's was even more anxious.
As if to see Rosen's anxiety, Fei Fei pointed to the faintly visible city in front of him and said: "The front is the Holy Capital Cain, try not to do something eye-catching, after all, we are not believers." ”
Everyone nodded, and followed Dean Fei Fei to think about the Holy Capital Kaiyin.
Inside the city, behind the huge statue of the Tempest Goddess, there is the cathedral of the Tempest Holy Cult, and the castle building behind it is the church headquarters. Under the tall and solemn statue of the Storm Goddess, there will always be parishioners passing by and bowing, and they always look at the tall and solemn castle-like buildings behind them with yearning, not only them, but also the places that the whole continent of the Tempest Holy Cult yearns for.
The most striking feature of the towns within the church is the church, and there will be at least three churches in each town, there is no governor in the town, the mayor and the like, everything is decided by the main character's council, the larger town is the big protagonist's council, and the highest is naturally the senator plus the pope.
The Holy Capital Kaiin is the headquarters of the three major churches, the cathedral, the headquarters of the three major holy religions are built on the side of the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the headquarters of the Storm Holy Religion is on the west side.
In the church hall on the second floor of the church headquarters, a beautiful girl is kneeling below, listening to the teachings of the cardinal. The girl was none other than Rosen's sister Shirley, who had been worried.
"Shirley, do you have any problem with my arrangement?"
Shirley replied expressionlessly: "No opinion." ”
The cardinal continued: "Remember, you must not reveal your identity this time, your target is the Aldis royal family, and none of the royal families will be left, understand?" Remember, once you get started, you're not a member of the Tempest Cult, understand? ”
Shirley's body trembled slightly, and finally spoke: "However, His Majesty King Brandon should have come to our Holy Capital to ask for help, and it is said that the Marfa Empire army that attacked them is suspected of having abyssal creatures, is it against our doctrine to do so?" If you let others know, our sect ......"
"Shut up!" Cardinal Archbishop stood up and walked down the steps, his face showed a hint of cruelty, and he walked behind Shirley before saying: "The Dark Holy Sect has been corrupted, the old Pope is too pedantic, the Titan Holy Sect is not motivated, our Sect is very powerful now, they are no longer worthy of being a sect of the Sect, our Storm Saint Sect will spread its teachings throughout the continent, understand?" So this time I assassinated King Brandon in order to blame them, so that my Storm Holy Sect's status in the Senate will rise, Shirley, I know you still have your brother in mind, I can promise you, as long as you can become the Pope's heir, then I will withdraw the hunt order. ”
Shirley said excitedly, "What you said is true?" ”
"Hehe, how could I lie to you, my granddaughter, but...... If you can't become the heir to the Yellow Mess, then that kid named Rosen will surely die. So this time, you know what to do, right? ”
Shirley bowed her head again: "Obey the will of the archbishop." “
