Chapter 34: The Place of Repentance

There's one place in Valoran that almost everyone doesn't want to visit, and that's the Inquisition. This is just like the saying that circulates in the aristocratic world: the most vicious curse against a nobleman is not to die, "if you die, go to hell", but "you are going to talk to the guys of the Holy See Sacrament Ministries about the doctrine".

For the entire Empire, the Congregation of the Sacraments is the patron saint of the Empire's dark world, but for heretics, the Congregation of the Holy See, the Inquisition, is the sword of Damocles hanging over its head.

There are only two enemies in the Sacramental Ministry, one heretic and two traitor!

In the past, perhaps for some heresies, the Inquisition of the Ministry of the Sacraments still had a little awe, such as the Black Rose Organization hidden in the low dark world, which was the existence that the three dark giants of the Inquisition were very awe-inspired.

But now, with the Black Rose Order disappearing from the underworld, the most powerful werewolves, vampires, and magicians who have gone astray through the study of magical mysteries and religious mysteries, are at their disposal in the eyes of the Congregation of the Sacraments. As for the traitors, they are nothing in the eyes of the Sacramental Ministry.

The traitor, the powerful Coffin Knight, Sacktor, could not escape the judgment of the Sacramental Ministry, and who else could have a traitor as powerful as the former powerful Noxian God of War?

Today, the Sacramental Ministry, the Inquisition, is the master of the dark world of Noxus.

"The Inquisition is not an interesting place for the aristocracy, Elquilo, and even though I am your godfather, the shepherd who leads you out of the darkness, the Inquisition should not be a place for you to frequent." Separated by a black curtain, it was pure and crisp, with a strong sense of piety, unlike the furious and frightened voices of the Inquisition.

The inside of the black curtain represents guilt. The black curtain represents piety, which is the Holy See's usual way of dealing with the heresy of intractable sinners.

The unruly and arrogant werewolf duke would take the initiative to appear in the Inquisition? I'm afraid this is something that all nobles can't think of! The werewolf duke had said that he would never go to that terrible place of the Inquisition in his life.

But now Erquilo has appeared.

Elkiro looked at the black curtain and sighed deeply, he couldn't help but open the black curtain immediately to see what was going on with the voice owner who was also his godfather, Hygoa, but he couldn't. Not to mention that the inquisitors of the Inquisition standing at the door watched his every move, and even if no one saw it, if he reached out and lifted the black curtain, he would be branded a heretic by the Inquisition, and taking risks on the spur of the moment was not something that a werewolf duke in his sixties should do.

Elkiro looked at the sea pavilion behind the curtain and smiled bitterly, "Godfather." I'm afraid that only if you are invited to the Inquisition will be so peaceful and natural, but Godfather, your life should not be wasted in the Inquisition, which is a great waste for you and the Noxian Empire. ”

"The Lord tells us that we should not forget our original beliefs wherever we are, and I have conveyed all the beliefs I want to convey in the form of books, so that there are no regrets, and it is the responsibility of our priests to spread the doctrine whenever and wherever we are, so there is no waste to speak of. Elquilo, is there any good news for you to come to me this time? ”

Listen to the calm and peaceful voice of the godfather. Erkilo couldn't help but sigh lightly, worthy of being the most devout priest of the Byzantian Holy See! Taking a deep breath, Erquilo stood up and said, "This may be considered good news. General Burnham, the leader of our great Noxian Empire, has decided to leave the Noxian throne. ”

There was no joy in Erquilo's eyes in his words: "That old guy Burnham no longer controls the power of the Noxian Empire?" Erquilo, I would like to know the detailed reasons! The voice was serious and surprised.

Elkilo smiled bitterly, "I don't know about this either, maybe it's because our General Burnham is sick. Or maybe General Burnham is tired of a heavy and cunning political career, or maybe he is old! ”

Elquilo gave many possibilities, but none of them were worthy of the attention of Hygea, and Erquilo asked the godfather, who had many contradictions with General Burnham, with some confusion. He said, "Godfather, isn't that a thing to be happy about?" ”

"Glad, Erquilo, what a pleasure it is to have an opponent when you reach my position, and what a loss it is when your opponent does not fall at your hands! Although Burnham is my opponent, I have to admit that as the leader of Noxus, Burnham is undoubtedly very qualified and excellent! Behind the black curtain, Hai Ge Ya Su wiped the tortoiseshell-decorated eyes, put them on, and sighed softly: "Having Burnham as an opponent all the time is one of the fundamental reasons why I wrote the masterpiece "Sacred Immortal" in my eyes. ”

Elquilo froze in place, he couldn't believe that the Godfather's proud magnum opus, "Sacred Immortality", appeared because of the reason why General Burnham appeared in it. Without waiting for Elkilo to think more, Hygea took the initiative to ask, "How is Burnham now?" ”

Erquilo came back to his senses, answered the godfather's question honestly, and said: "Now General Burnham still lives in St. Peter's Castle, during which General Burnham went to meet Prince Nocopantser, and then there was no more news!" ”

"It seems that this friend of mine is really going to see God, I wonder if I have any hope of seeing him again!" There was no joy in his voice, only an indescribable sadness.

"Of course there's a chance, I'm not here, Cardinal Archbishop of Haigea!"

A voice rang out in a small confessional place, reaching the ears of Erquiro and Haigeasu.

Elquiro subconsciously turned his head, and then immediately stood up, the haughty head underground. Two people came in front of him, one of them was the most powerful person in Noxus today-General Burnham, and there was a General Burnham who was dressed in a very ordinary papal dress that could not see any rank, but his bearing was not inferior to his side, at this moment, even a stupid young nobleman without any head knew that this priest in a very ordinary religious robe should not be a low-level guy, is a low-level priest qualified to stand in front of General Burnham? And how can you walk side by side with General Burnham without being inferior?

"I've seen General Burnham!" Erquiro greeted the most noble figure of the empire with some embarrassment, and Burnham, apparently not caring about Erquilo's rather fierce and extreme remarks just now, waved his hand and ordered Elquilo to stand aside, while he sat on the plain and short chair opposite the sea pavilion across a black curtain.

"The time the Lord has given me to stay on earth is running out, and I have already met my father, Prince Nocoppenser, and I mean that there is no one in this world who is worthy of my own initiative to meet again, and perhaps God has inspired me during this time of God's calling, and reminded me that I still have an old friend and old adversary whom I have not seen? Hai Ge Ya Su, if I forget to see you, this may be the biggest regret in my life! ”

"Hehe, Burnham, you are still as hypocritical as I was when I first met you, and aren't the greatest regrets of your life Helen Burnham and Erett Lancaster? I, Hai Ge Ya Su, think that I am not as good as them! The words fell on Elquilo's ear, and Elkilo even wondered if the person sitting behind the black curtain was his pious godfather, Helquiro.

Looking at Burnham, who was sitting upright in front of him, El Kiro didn't think that this was the powerful and fierce General Burnham, but like an ordinary old man who reminisced about the past.

For these two old men at the top of the Noxus Empire, Elquilo's current status does not dare to have any criticism. Although he has an extraordinary status in Noxus now, in the eyes of these two old men, he is like an ant that can be pinched to death at will, and he can't make any waves.

Burnham looked into the air and sighed, "In the past, the regrets were them, but now I will see them soon, so how can I count it as regrets?" ”

After a period of silence, Hai Ge Yasu spoke, "You have really given up the authority of the Noxian Empire??" ”

Burnham nodded, "I've been in control of Noxus for too long, and I'm too old, Noxus needs a new leader to breathe life into Noxus." Perhaps when you walk out of the Inquisition, you will become the spiritual father of Noxus. ”

Haigea was stunned for a moment, and Erquiro was even more stunned.

Spiritual father? It's not a word that can be used casually. The only spiritual father in Demacia is the Patriarch, and the only spiritual father in Noxus is the Pope. What did General Burnham mean by that? Does he want the godfather to be the pope of the Noxian Empire?

"What about His Holiness the Pope? Was he ready to give up the position of pope? Hai Ge Ya Su asked in a flat tone.

"The new leader naturally needs a new pope, this is an eternal law, so you should find a way to leave the Inquisition now, maybe you take a step at night, and the result will be like missing the patriarch's position more than ten years ago!" Burnham smiled playfully.

"Leave? General Burnham, please tell me, how to leave? Ignoring Burnham's sarcastic or playful tone, he asked calmly.

Burnham smiled slightly, glanced at the burly old man in ordinary religious robes beside him, and said softly: "I have invited St. Leston to come, maybe you should talk to him about the doctrine of the Holy See!" ”

Erquilo took a deep breath, St. Leston, the first giant of the Inquisition, the most feared existence of nobles, heretics, and traitors of the Noxian Empire. (To be continued.) )
