Chapter 859: Temple of Light

"Archbishop Martin, has there been any change in the viper's venom in the Pope?" Lin Li had heard Enlos say that the venom of the viper on Pope Rosario was still the result of cooperating with the Supreme Council to encircle and suppress the Black Tide of the Sunset Mountain Range, but Lin Li knew better that the venom of the viper could be said to be the most insidious and cunning toxin in the world. The stronger the power used to suppress the viper's venom, the greater the damage to the poisoner's body, and with the accumulation of time, one day the viper's venom will break out again, and at that time, even if the real god incarnation comes, it can't be saved.

However, Archbishop Martin shook his head with a worried face and said: "The venom of the viper in His Majesty's body of Rosario broke out once a while ago, although it has been suppressed again, but His Majesty has already had a premonition, and with his strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the next outbreak." ”

In fact, several archbishops who knew about this matter were already a little desperate in their hearts, even Enlos, who had always been hopeful about Lin Li's potion level, did not think that Lin Li could reach the grandmaster level at this time and have the ability to dissolve the viper's poison. It was the news that came out of the Haiga Mountains, and it was only when they learned that Lin Li had defused the poison of the viper descendants for the elves, which rekindled their hope.

Hearing this, Lin Li couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, at least Rosario's situation was not so bad that it was irreparable, otherwise he owed this favor to the Temple of Light, and he didn't know how to repay it.

"President Ferrey, I also know that the viper in the elven place is highly poisonous, and there is still a big difference between the poison in His Majesty Rosario, but His Majesty has a hunch that the next outbreak of the poison may not be far away, I don't know if it is convenient for you to go to the Temple of Light with me now, even if you find a way to weaken the poison." Although Archbishop Martin has also stepped into the legend for many years and has always been in a high position, it is related to the safety of His Majesty the Pope and the survival of the Temple of Light, and his tone still cannot hide a little eagerness.

The Temple of Light was born at the end of the Dark Ages, in a time of war and chaos, when almost everyone had to rely on faith to survive, and with the hope that light brings to people, the teachings of the Light were spread throughout the world of Anriel in a very short time.

For more than 1,300 years, with the exception of the magical kingdom of Fran, the Temple of Light has had countless followers of the Holy Light in any human kingdom. From the royal family to the aristocracy, from the nobles to the commoners, whether they are wealthy businessmen or farmers who are barely making ends meet, they all regard the Holy Light as their most devout faith, and follow the guidance of the successive popes to spread the Holy Light to every corner of the earth.

Especially after the inexplicable decline of the Dark Temple, in the current world of Anriel, only the Supreme Council founded by the mage god Gresco has the strength to compete with the Temple of Light. Even in terms of secular power, the Temple of Light is even better than the Supreme Council, except for the Kingdom of France, almost all the kings of the human kingdom need to be personally crowned by His Majesty the Pope of the Temple of Light before ascending the throne, otherwise they will not be recognized by the people.

And Pope Rosario, who is a powerhouse in the Sanctuary, the legendary incarnation of the Holy Light, ascended the Pope's throne at the age of thirty, and spread the teachings of the Holy Light throughout the world of Anriel in a hundred years. For the believers of the Temple of Light, Rosario is the embodiment of the Holy Light, especially in the sacred kingdom of the Kingdom of Edin, Rosario's words are almost equivalent to the will of the Holy Light. Compared to him, His Majesty the King is nothing at all, and the entire Leiding royal family's big and small matters must first consult the opinion of the Temple of Light before making a decision.

This is also an important reason why Pope Rosario has been poisoned by a viper for many years, but there has been no news. If the news of Rosario's poisoning spreads, not to mention what the hostile forces will do, I am afraid that the interior of the Temple of Light will inevitably fall into violent turmoil.

Lin Li touched his chin, looked at Archbishop Martin, and said: "Actually, before you come, I have prepared the elixir to dissolve the viper poison, and what I am worried about is whether the viper venom has changed in other ways over the years, and the physical condition of His Majesty the Pope." Tell me more about the signs of the viper's venom outbreak, and I'll see if there's anything I need to add. ”

Archbishop Martin came this time, although he had a glimmer of hope, but he only thought that Lin Li might have a way to weaken the poison and allow His Majesty the Pope to hold on for a little longer. However, what he didn't expect was that he actually heard Lin Li say that he had already prepared a potion, which even made him think that he had auditory hallucinations.

Archbishop Martin held back the excitement in his heart, his body even trembled slightly irrepressibly, and asked in disbelief: "You mean, you have prepared a potion to dissolve the poison that His Majesty Rosario has suffered?" At the same time, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Li, for fear that the other party would say something that would disappoint him.

Lin Li nodded, looked at the white-bearded old man with excitement on his face, and said, "It's just that I am ninety percent sure, and it depends on what changes have been made in the poison in His Majesty the Pope's body." "Like Rosario, he used his own strength to suppress the venom of the viper for decades, this kind of thing he has never seen or heard of even in the endless world, so he still chooses to be reserved when he speaks, and he doesn't dare to pat his chest and say that he is 100% successful.

However, even with some reservations, this 90% certainty is enough to surprise Archbishop Martin. Archbishop Martin was not ignorant of pharmacy, and after hearing what Lin Li meant, he immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart, and while pulling his beard and recalling carefully, he slowly described the scene of Rosario's previous poisonous outbreak to Lin Li in detail, and did not dare to omit the slightest detail.

The two talked in the reception room for a long time, and Lin Li finally understood some of Rosario's situation, and he was a little more confident in resolving the viper's poison. Coming out of the reception room with Archbishop Martin, Lin Li was about to get ready, and then followed Archbishop Martin to the Temple of Light, but saw a magician in charge of reception in the hall hurrying over.

"Elder, there is a person outside who claims to be a priest of the Dark Temple who said that he wants to see you, I am afraid of disturbing your conversation, so I asked him to wait in the reception room, you ...... now" The magician kept coming to Lin Li, and suddenly saw Archbishop Martin in a light robe, and immediately froze there, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the constant hostility between the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness is caused by the conflict of doctrines and differences in beliefs, so once the two sides meet, they will inevitably be incompatible. But in fact, for the real top leaders on both sides, everything is actually based on interests. And I'm afraid many people can't imagine that this Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness used to be a family, called the Temple of Eternity.

Therefore, Archbishop Martin did not say anything special about the arrival of the people of the Dark Temple, and besides, this is the Tower of Dusk and not the Temple of Light, even if there is any hatred, it is impossible to solve it here. So, Archbishop Martin just smiled at the magician, then turned to Lin Li and said that if there was anything important, he could wait a few days.

Lin Li had already learned about the relationship between the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness from Sendros, so he was naturally not surprised by Archbishop Martin's reaction. As for the reason for the Dark Temple's arrival, he could guess a little, at the beginning in the Blackstone Mountains, Senrodus once said that if he had time, he must go to the Dark Temple, but he was either busy with the development of the Tower of Dusk or busy with the exploration of various places, that is, now he has time.

"President Ferrey, I am the Dark Temple Priest Joe Cole, and I invite you to ...... on the order of the High Priest Sendros" When the Dark Priest Joe Cole saw Lin Li coming in, he immediately got up and couldn't wait to explain his intentions, but in the middle of his words, he saw Archbishop Martin of Light following behind Lin Li, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

The real relationship between the Temple of Darkness and the Temple of Light is not something that Joe Cole can reach at this level, and he only knows that people on both sides can hardly avoid making a move every time they meet. However, from the emblem on Martin's robe and emblem, Joe Cole also saw the identity of the other party's archbishop. One is a sacrifice and the other is an archbishop, which is not only a gap in the level of identity, but also an absolute gap in strength.

In the institutional structure of the Temple of Light, Pope Rosario is at the very top of the pyramid, followed by four archbishops, Enros and Martin. The Inquisition and the Holy Order are the two most powerful forces accountable only to Pope Rosario, and the actual status of the Inquisitor and the Head of the Order is not inferior to that of the four archbishops. Below them are the cardinals in charge of the dioceses, who are the consuls of the provinces, who are in charge of the churches of the diocese, to use the analogy of the secular power structure.

Under the cardinal, it is the bishop who is specifically responsible for each church and presides over all the affairs of the church. Under the bishop, there are usually a certain number of priests and priests, the priests are responsible for preaching the doctrine and absorbing the faithful, while the priests are often responsible for healing the believers or guarding the church.
