What is the history of the development of the Holy See?

Rand recently read a lot of classics, there are most vague about the birth of the Holy See, only know that this huge organization was established by the Perus Empire that unified the continent more than 500 years ago, Canolan I, known as the "god", as the first emperor to unify the continent, its own wealth and army have definitely reached the peak of hundreds of years of strength, it is rumored that the Perux Empire in its heyday, with more than one million cavalry, and unified equipment expensive plate armor, the soldiers are invincible.

But even such a strong emperor has problems that cannot be solved.

Since the creation of the century, the Shadow Mountains have been a Jedi that no emperor can conquer, beyond the Shadow Mountains is known as the Forbidden Land on Earth, it is said that the depths of the Shadow Mountains are the junction between the abyss of hell and the human world, and under the influence of the evil spirit of hell, the entire area cannot grow plants or crops, and if the creatures are contaminated with evil energy, they will mutate into the walking dead who have lost their minds.

At some point, a large number of monsters born in the barren land began to invade the territory of the Perus Empire, and in order to drive away the monsters with extraordinary magical powers, Canolan I recruited forces that could fight against them throughout the continent, and the church was established.

Canolan I granted the Pope to replace him in the management of the Holy See, and invested a lot of energy and resources to build the Holy See's armament, the paladins were trained as the main force to fight the monsters, after a fierce battle, the monsters, that is, the later generations called the demons were driven back to the wasteland, Canolan I established the Iron Rock City on the Shadow Mountains, responsible for observing the movement of the demons.

But what Canolan didn't expect was that after this battle, the power of the church had been recognized by the majority of the people, and the position of the pope in the hearts of the people was even more important than that of him, the actual ruler, and the church was like a fast-growing tree, taking root and not being shaken in this kingdom that belonged to him.

Therefore, when the last king of the Peruvian Empire died violently, the grand dukes of various places rose up and established themselves as kings, and the pope saw the opportunity, quickly mastered the armies and regions loyal to the king, and changed the name of the country to the Holy See in the name of God.

Since then, the Holy See, who has seized all the power of the Perus Empire, has become the strongest in the entire continent, and has ruled the continent in the name of the gods to this day.

......

Bishop Jon of the Temple of the Goddess stepped up the sacred steps towards the central hall, slowing down as he passed the crowd to give him time to salute him.

As one of the masters of the Holy See's Tritheon, Jon is eligible to be worshiped and worshiped by all worshippers and priests.

As the light dimmed, and as the depths of the hall dwindled, and the number of people qualified to enter became scarcer, a red-clad priest took Jon's scepter and crown and followed him like a servant.

He didn't like this hall, even though it was a spiritual symbol of the Holy See, even though it was a holy place in the hearts of believers across the continent, he still couldn't convince himself to like it, perhaps because the supreme throne was supposed to be inherited by him.

He knew everything about the place, even the number of steps, and he had been so fanatical that he wanted to get hold of the hall.

But the owner of this hall was not him, so he began to loathe, disgusted with everything here.

The walls next to it are inlaid with expensive night pearls, which are incomparably precious jewels to outsiders, but they are only used as a light source in this hall.

Jon stopped, he could only go here as he was, and to go any further would be to overstep.

The throne in the center of the hall was obscured by shadows, and Jon couldn't see the Pope's face clearly, the most powerful man on the continent was sitting there quietly, looking at everything that belonged to him.

"Your Majesty. Jon saluted with his left hand on his chest and bowed his head.

The Pope didn't react, and after a long time, a sigh came from the shadows, like a worn-out bellows being pulled, and his voice was hoarse and weak: "Jon, I really don't want to see you, you bring me worse news every time......"

The Pope stood up tremblingly, and by the faint light Jon saw a thin old man, who was not wearing a robe or a crown, his skin was sickly white, and his eyes were cloudy.

Jon noticed that he had unwiped caviar on his beard.

It seems that His Majesty's state of mind is getting worse day by day, Jon thought.

"The demons invaded Iron Rock City on a large scale, and almost half of the defenders died, and although with the assistance of the paladins, the demons' offensive was stopped, but I don't think they will give up. Jon thought for a moment and said, "And in this battle, we have found traces of Nightmare Beasts, and the variety of demons is increasing, and there may be species that we have never seen before." ”

"The paladins are reliable, they're all good guys, they're reliable!" the Pope said to himself, as if he couldn't digest Jon's words for a moment, "The demons can't defeat them, yes, they're reliable." ”

"But the number of paladins is too small, and that's a problem. Jon said word for word, the cost of training paladins was too high for even the Holy See to bear, "It is impossible to send all paladins into battle, and the army of demons still needs heavy cavalry and ordinary armies to deal with them." ”

"We still have a lot of troops, transfer them to Ironstone. The Pope took a breath, waved his hand very tiredly, and said, "The temple does not need guards, and no one dares to invade the Holy See's holy places. ”

It seems that His Majesty the Pope is really confused.

Jon shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the voices of opposition to the church in the five kingdoms have not disappeared, and those kings and grand dukes who control the army are waiting for the opportunity to lift us off the top of their heads, and even openly burn down churches in some areas to kill the clergy. ”

"Blasphemer...... Must be put to death. The Pope coughed, staccato in a snap.

Payne remembered the charred corpses tied to the wooden frame, nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Before we can fight against the demon army, we must wipe out all the forces that resist us on the mainland, so that nothing goes wrong. Jon said solemnly, "Isn't it your lifelong wish to establish a papal state like the Empire of Peru?"

"Peruth...... "The Pope seemed to be remembering something, for a long time, and said, "How is the thing that killed Canolan VII in the first place?"

"It's over 93 percent complete and ready to be reused soon. ”

"Inform them that the repair will be completed within three months. The Pope looked at the western sky and said in a trembling voice: "If I am not wrong, the Apostles are about to come, right?"
