Chapter 35: Lift the confessional cloth
Chapter 35: Lift the confessional cloth
St. Leston, the first dark giant of the Inquisition.
He is also privately known as the Dark Pope by the outside world!
Even many people secretly call this dark pope in his previous life should be the Lucifer archangel who sat down in God, purifying all evil beings in the world.
Born in the Noxian Empire and recognized as the most devout priest by both the Byzantian Holy See and the Vatican Holy See, Cardinal Archbishop Hygea heard the name St. Leston, and his old face engraved with traces of the world also showed a rare look of surprise and shock, which was as incredible as encountering a miracle "angel descending to earth".
But after all, he is a pious priest who has seen strong winds and waves, and Haige Yasu, who once gave up the patriarch's scepter, can sit in front of this dark giant very calmly after an instant shock, and talk about doctrines with the dark giant.
"General Burnham, you've surprised me again." Hai Ge Ya Su smiled and sighed through the black curtain of confession.
Elkiro stood to the side in a daze, now he was completely disqualified from speaking. In front of General Burnham, the First Dark Giant, St. Leston, and Hai Ge Yasu, what qualifications does he have to speak? Elquilo knew that his best choice was to leave, but the two Noxian bigwigs didn't mean that, so how could he dare to leave first and then go against the will of the two bigwigs?
General Burnham is also fortunate to arrive, after all, he is a strong man who is about to give up the power of Noxus and pass away. But St. Leston was different, offending the dark giant, and the devil knew that St. Leston's inquisitors would find him one day and invite him to the Inquisition for tea.
The Lord said that eternal light is equal to eternal darkness, and that only when light and darkness coexist is the perfect world! The Papal Chamber is a symbol of light, and the Inquisition is a symbol of darkness! Throwing away the light and forgetting the darkness is heresy! My old friend Hai Ge Ya Su, do you have light in your heart? Or is there darkness? Burnham asked with a smile as he stood in front of St. Leston.
Novel remarks, this novel remarks Elkilo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. And the Lord said, When did the Lord say this? There is no such sentence in the official texts of the Holy See, such as "The City in the Sky", "The Hand of God", "The Apocalypse of Light", "The Teachings", "The Confession of Muhammad", etc.! "I have to be Erquilo, a brutal and domineering werewolf duke among the nobles, but his knowledge is unparalleled.
Erquiro belongs to the kind of special aristocrat who kills a thousand people but also reads a thousand books at the same time. The choice of Haige Yasu as his godfather is not only for the sake of interest, but also because Erquiro himself is very proficient in the teachings of the Holy See, and he has studied almost all the official books of the Holy See, especially the "Teachings" of Santa Iyeta, which the werewolf duke known as the scum of the nobility has studied more than a dozen times.
There is no such statement.
Elquilo glanced quietly at St. Leston, who was standing beside General Burnham, and was surprised to find that St. Leston heard General Burnham's words with a calm and unnatural look on his face. It seems like this in itself is a matter of course.
Was it a disguise or had it already been colluded with General Burnham? As a nobleman, Erquiro couldn't help but speculate very maliciously about the actions of the two big men.
Immediately Erquilo got the answer.
"My devotion to the Lord cannot be tampered with, even if I have been regarded by the Byzantian Holy See as the greatest heresy of all time! I thank you, General Burnham, for being willing to read my book Sacred Immortal, which will probably be the proudest thing of my life! He slowly stood up, bowed respectfully to Burnham through the black confessional cloth, and sighed softly.
Burnham nodded expressionlessly. He kept this good habit, stood up straight, and calmly replied, "Who can be as immortal as the sun in the sky?" Maybe there should be a sea pavilion cake! ”
Immediately, General Burnham made an action that shocked Erquilo and the pious cardinal Archbishop of Hygoasu, who was not alarmed. Burnham bent down, grabbed the long thread on the right side of the black curtain, pulled it gently, and said, "Hai Ge Ya Su." You have no sin, so why should you repent? ”
In the thousand-year history of the Inquisition, apart from the three dark giants, no one dared to open the confessional cloth. But what has Burnham done today? The confessional cloth he actually opened? God, did General Burnham want to go to God sooner? The thought flashed through Elquilo's mind, but was immediately dispelled.
To God? General Burnham was about to go to see God, but not in such a dishonorable way. Saint Leston, the first dark giant of the Inquisition, was not the slightest surprised that General Burnham opened the confessional cloth, isn't this the biggest proof!
"General Burnham!" Even when he was arrested by the Inquisition as the biggest heretic in the Holy See, he was calm and serene, and at this moment he frowned, and looked at Burnham with cold eyes.
Burnham's face was calm and cold, and he looked at this pious priest who had been silently opposing him, what was the reason? Maybe it was because he helped an unknown priest Oyeshura to become the pope of Byzantio and the Vatican, or maybe it was something else he didn't even know. The reason was so long ago that he had forgotten why the cardinal was against him.
But he is very fond of having such opponents, opponents of non-politicians!
For such an opponent who has never been willing to do anything in the dark, Burnham, who is accustomed to seeing politicians playing tricks and deceitful wars, has no reason not to like it.
Sighing softly, Burnham walked up to the still standing Hygaya Su, patted the pious priest on the shoulder, and said, "Whether in light or darkness, a pious soul that remains pure will be received by the Lord!" Hai Ge Ya Su, this is what you said, have you forgotten it! ”
"You are not guilty, so why should you repent?"
In the face of Burnham's kindness, Hai Ge Yasu did not accept it, but asked in a cold voice: "When did our General Burnham hold the power of the Holy See while controlling the power of the Noxian Empire, and it is the power of the Inquisition, which the Holy See is most proud of?" ”
Burnham smiled silently, and someone explained a little to Hygoa.
Who else can explain this now, and who else is qualified to explain it? The answer came from St. Leston, the chief judge of the Inquisition.
St. Leston stood in front of Burnham, as calm as ever, without smiling, and said: "No one dares to touch the Inquisition, not even the Pope, who is clothed in luxury!" Your Excellency, General Burnham has only unraveled your confession at my will, so you need not wonder! ”
"Can you tell me why?" Erquiro felt that his godfather was a little stupid, so why did he ask such a stupid question? Didn't the Church Fathers want to leave the Inquisition?
Surprisingly, the chief judge of this question, St. Leston, pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an answer: "The Lord tells us that as a shepherd we must know our sheepfold, the wolf and the sheep!" It is difficult to describe you in the four words evil heresy, as you are a priest who has re-established a sheepfold, so you don't have to repent, and you have nothing to repent of! Haige Yasu, are you satisfied with this answer? ”
He didn't speak, but nodded at St. Leston.
Saint Leston ignored the grateful smile on Hygea's face, nor did he pay attention to Elkilo's excited smile, and said calmly: "Today I am just accompanying our great Noxian General Burnham to the place of confession as a resident of Noxus to meet a pious priest who may decide the great fate of Noxus in the future, so today's protagonist is not me, but General Burnham!" I hope you and General Burnham have a pleasant exchange, Your Excellency! ”
Immediately, Saint Leston nodded at Burnham on the side, and then glanced at Elquilo, who could understand and leave the confession with Saint Reston without the slightest hesitation.
Against the will of St. Leston, this kind of consequence is not something that a small nobleman can bear! At least to go into the hellish place of the Inquisition and talk to the people of the Inquisition about the doctrine was enough to drive him crazy.
Standing outside the confessional ground with St. Leston, Erquiro couldn't help but look at the tall and taciturn old man beside him with curious but cautious piety, who had a transcendent position in the Byzantian Holy See and the Vatican, and was known as the Pope who dominated the dark world in a black cloak.
St. Leston, who was so low-key that he rarely appeared in front of believers and members of the Inquisition, was more low-key and reserved than the always mysterious Lord of the Ewes, but it was enough to make the proud and arrogant woman of the Lord of the Ewes, Vladimir, known as the incarnation of vampires but the third dark giant, willingly submit.
The old man hid so many incomprehensible curiosities that he wanted to explore, but he didn't dare to explore the obscure secrets beneath the black robes. Erquilo didn't dare to touch the taboo, where does Erquiro look like a werewolf duke who is arrogant and domineering in St. Peter's City, he is clearly an ordinary Noxian resident who is full of awe of the sacred.
Taking a deep breath, Erquilo mustered up the courage to walk up to the First Dark Giant, who controlled the dark power that he couldn't even imagine when he scratched his head, and asked, "Lord St. Leston, can my godfather really come out of the place of repentance?" ”
Saint Leston glanced back at Elquilo, El Kiro suddenly felt that his soul was about to be absorbed by those deep and vast eyes like a starry sky, and Saint Leston gave an answer: "I can open the confession cloth for him, but when I walk out of the confession place, I can only look at him himself!" ”
"As a Noxian, I very much hope that the Noxian Empire will shine again! Whether it's a saint or a pope! (To be continued.) )
