The Lord is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.

Let's just assume that this sentence is true, anyway, those who question the authenticity of this sentence face to face, their humble flesh has all been purified in the flames. And their souls, in this warmth, also returned to the bosom of the Lord, restored to pure whiteness in the holy light.

May they rest in peace.

Since the Lord is omniscient and omnipotent, it is natural that no sin can escape His eyes. But the Lord is so gracious that He is always willing to give His believers a chance and wait for their repentance.

Mortals naturally do not have this patience, so when mortals are disputing over something, they will resort to dueling before the gods to get the answer to the question. The Lord is merciful, and He will not give up on His believers. But the Lord is also strict, and he will not spare any mortal who tries to fool him.

Duels that take place before the gods are blessed by the gods. The sinners are bound to usher in the most shameful defeat. With his own blood, he washed away his blasphemous sin.

Listen to it seriously.

[The Great Schism between the East and the West not only changed the relationship between the empire and the church, but also changed many customs. Today, you have seen what the dregs of ancient times are. You look up to the sky and laugh, deeply disdainful of the bishop's stupid tricks. If everything is solved according to the extreme martial habits of the ancient empire, then what else is the imperial court and the senate for? But]

[1. Blood and thunder, power and glory. The shame I have received must be washed away with your blood. Do you want to have a duel before the gods? This is good. Let God prove your vileness. 】

[2. Can't you see that you are procrastinating for time? I won't give you three days, and here I am, waiting for the Duke's decision. 】

Not.

Xinluo pondered slightly, what the hell is going on with this bishop, how he speaks and acts as if he lived in ancient times, but his mention is quite attractive. If a duel before the gods is carried out according to the ancient laws of the empire, then it must be done by one side completely. can not only kill one of the other party, but also make the other party lose the excuse to continue to block him.

Xinluo never worried that he would fail, and judging from the time of Bismalk's deathmatch, unless he was a Sunrise level master, he didn't have to worry about it. But Bismal can burst out with all his strength, and it seems that it has a great impact on himself?

A little tangled.

Sinloth's gaze swept over the pale-faced bishop and the trembling, terrified clergyman, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Since you said so, then"

Seeing that Sinloth seemed to be about to agree, Ditohart on the side didn't care about his demeanor, so he hurriedly leaned up and whispered softly: "My lord, by all means." In the case of a duel before the gods, it is customary to perform a three-day bathing fast. ”

Sinloth glanced at him in surprise and nodded, indicating understanding.

It turns out that this is what the light ball said about three days.

"I agreed."

Ditohart was shocked, but before he could speak. Sinloth had already raised his left hand and suffocated his unspoken words.

Seeing that Xinluo agreed to the duel, Bishop Tie Qing's expression softened a little: "Let the Lord decide which of us is right and who is wrong." Your Excellency, please retreat today. ”

"No, I refuse."

Sinloth's firm words made the priests, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, nervous again.

"According to the custom of the empire, one side of the duel can decide the time and place, and the other side, can decide the way. Am I right, Bishop? ”

"That's true." Having said that, the bishop has actually understood what this guy is going to say.

"Well, I decide, right here, right now!"

Without Sinlos making a gesture, the soldiers and knights took the initiative to form a circle and surrounded the bishops and priests.

Roland looked at the bishop's strange face and habitually whistled. The bishop glared at him deadly, paused his scepter, and said coldly, "I still need a just man, let's go!" ”

"As it should be."

Sinloth waved his hand, and the soldiers hurriedly made a gap in the encirclement. Seeing the bishop enter the monastery, Sinlos hurriedly followed. The bishop snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the lord had already entered the monastery, Roland wanted to follow, but was stopped by Bismalco. The chief knight looked at Roland and shook his head slowly.

"Leave the opportunity to the kids."

Roland was stunned for a moment, and then understood. He smiled and nodded, and with Bismalko, slowed down and landed silently behind the three young men with excited faces

Without making them wait long, the young duke arrived at the monastery with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and smoke and dust.

The man wearing a golden ring on his head and dressed in gorgeous clothes looked at the two people sitting on one side in the auditorium of the monastery, and sighed helplessly.

This unattractive man in his thirties is none other than Kildel's master, Duke Ed of the Vanel Nogaraki family.

The just man of this duel.

A formal duel requires a fair person. And the ancient method of duel in front of the gods is even more so. Not to mention, the protagonists of this duel, one is a baron, and the other is a bishop.

"So I said, there must have been some misunderstanding. Why don't you both take a step back and give me some time to investigate? ”

In Kildel, the only person qualified to witness a duel of this caliber is our poor Duke.

It is clear that the duke is trying to dissuade the two and abandon this senseless duel.

In fact, when it comes to dignity, the baron should be lower than the bishop, but the problem is that Sinlos is a fiefdom nobleman. Moreover, his fiefdom was the whole of Desmond. Desmond was too close to Kildal to offend his young neighbor too much.

But Sinloth is not easy to mess with, and the other one is just as troublesome. Bishop Wiseman was a low-key and low-key missionary in his territory for many years, and was well respected in his domain. In addition, he is proficient in theology, and he has been very happy with the Duke over the years. Knowing that he was about to return to the Vatican, the Duke was actually a little disappointed.

Therefore, the first reaction of the duke, who was dragged to be a notary, was to persuade him.

Sinloth bowed and said in a resolute tone, "Your Excellency, I have no intention of embarrassing Bishop Wiseman. But my agent was rudely imprisoned by him, and when I came to ask for an explanation, he denied it. In desperation, he made this decision. ”

The bishop also stepped forward and said calmly, "What has never been done, how can Lord Sinloth let me admit it?" ”

"Then you don't have to directly duel in front of the gods."

In a duel before the gods, one of the two sides must die, and even surrender is not allowed. Any casualties between the two were not something the Duke wanted to see, and he had just taken over the territory from his father and did not want to see such a thing happen.

Of course, as the two of them, it is naturally impossible to end up in person, and they must let the knights under their command take action on their behalf.

"Heh, I have a witness here."

"Your Majesty, it's okay for you to let them say anything, right?"

"You!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the duke's anger also came up a little. He was kind enough to persuade him, but these two people simply ignored his majesty. Since the person concerned doesn't care, then why should he care about those damn things. The conflict between the empire and the church will give the emperor a headache.

"It's a pity, but since you insist on doing so, then I won't say anything more. I have granted your request. ”

"In the presence of the Great Lord, I declare that this duel is officially established. The twins shall not refuse to fight for any reason, shall not evade the use of any weapons and methods contrary to the spirit of chivalry, shall not have any doubts about the result"

"The Lord Almighty is watching over us."

"I hope so."

As an ancient method, duel in front of the gods naturally has requirements for the venue. Rituals are performed not only before the duel begins, but also after the duel ends. In this way, you can't just find a flat open space like other duels.

Such an ancient method requires a lot of space. Even a monastery with a large area could not be satisfied, so the venue for the duel was chosen in the open space in front of the monastery. The Duke's soldiers forcibly dispersed all the onlookers and began to set up the venue.

The knights and monks had already left the Great Hall, and they stared at each other for fear that they would deceive each other in the place of the duel.

The three leaders sat in the auditorium, silent.

In the end, it was the Duke who broke the silence first.

"I really envy you, I can go back to the Vatican soon, right? I really want to see that Lord's Promised Land. I have often heard people say, "Is there a land of milk and honey?" ”

"The Duke has a reputation for it, and the Vatican does possess indescribable beauty on earth, as if the kingdom of the Lord had come to the world. But the royal capital of the empire is also extremely magnificent, and I used to travel there when I was young. The majestic walls of the empire, as well as the triumphal arch, those majestic postures, I will never forget. ”

"Really? The royal capital is indeed right, Fan Zhuo, you seem to be from the royal capital too, right? Speaking of which, I haven't been to the royal capital for many years, so I don't know what's going on there now? I can still vaguely remember the night tour of St. Margaret's Rue with my wife. ”

Looking at the smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he just had no intention of mentioning the name of the place, and hesitated for a moment before replying: "The royal capital is naturally still beautiful, and even the Palace of Westminster is still so beautiful." ”

Damn, it's this question again, the emperor or the senate. Is the Duke implying anything when he asks me?

"Really? Then I have a chance, but I really want to go back and see it."

The duke didn't care about Xinluos's unnaturalness at all, but changed the topic without a trace, and talked about what he had seen and heard in the royal capital back then.

Sinlos looked at the Duke's attribute bar, and his heart gradually sank.

Name: Ed

Traits: Strong warrior, sharp, Irish right-wing

Irish right-wing: Because of the iron-blooded rule of the empire back then, extreme disgust with the empire. Although hundreds of years have passed, I have been trying to get rid of the empire and make myself and my compatriots truly **.

Oops, this guy is from the Senate!
