Inside the Silver Castle, Amber brought some of the information Gawain needed.

"It's not hard to find these things - it's a secret from the outside world, but it's not a secret from the former court advisors," Amber said with a smug look on her face, "The daily lives of the royal family members are well documented, and these are ...... about Veronica"

Gawain took the sorted rubbings, his gaze slowly moving between the lines of text.

"Veronica? Moen has had great magical and spiritual talents since she was a child, but she was almost declared dead by doctors and priests when she was born," Amber said casually next to her, looking at the papers in Gawain's hand, "She was born without a heartbeat, as if she was stillborn, and suddenly came to life an hour later.

"Later, the Church of Light explained this as 'divine grace', and it was the power of the God of Light that allowed this baby with a strong affinity for the Holy Light to survive. This sounds completely deceitful, but the doctors can't explain this phenomenon, so they can only record it as a 'divine grace'. One of the factors that led to Moen's conversion to the God of Light......

"Before the age of six, Veronica often fell into a coma without warning. Despite many examinations and all the physicians and priests declaring the little princess to be in good health, she often fainted, so that she barely left her room until she was six years old, and required the twenty-four hours of close care from a maid.

"There seems to be no doubt about her conversion to the God of Light—at the age of ten, Veronica? Moen went to the church with the rest of the royal family, and it was her first encounter with the Light in her life, and in the process she showed a very high spiritual talent and affinity for the Light. Ivan III's concern. After this, she gradually showed her interest in the Light, and after several years of study, understanding, and a lot of contacts and negotiations between the royal family and the Church, the princess was 'converted to the Light', and she was sixteen years old at the time.

"The whole process seems to be a very normal, brokered deal, and Veronica has never played a role in it that has exceeded her part."

Gawain flipped through the pages of documents in his hand, and his tone was indifferent: "As an ancient soul who has lived for a thousand years, she has enough patience and wisdom to keep all her actions without doubt, and her 'conversion' process is certainly not suspicious. ”

"Makes sense, I think so too," Amber folded her arms and nodded, "Do you think her coma records before she turned six have anything to do with her 'soul parasitism'?" ”

"A girl under the age of six should not be able to carry a high-ranking soul in her brain, and these accounts confirm that Veronica's account of herself is true, at least part of the evidence," Gawain put down his hand, "Is there anything else?" ”

"That's all there is to it," Amber said, spreading her hands, "Well, do you think this 'rebel' is risky?" Do you want to continue to investigate the maids and physicians who took care of her, as well as the court scholars who taught her? Many of these people are still in the Silver Castle......"

"No, excessive investigation would have been too offensive, and nothing would have been found," Gawain gestured, "The situation was similar to what I expected, and there was some evidence to back up Veronica's words, but there would never be additional evidence to reveal her secret...... But that doesn't affect our cooperation with her. ”

"She does seem to be fulfilling her promise to stabilize the order of believers in the city, and as of this morning, she has assisted the White Knights Warband to smoothly enter the Holy Light Cathedral, regardless of her identity, she can play a great role."

The White Knights have entered the Cathedral of Light.

According to the plan, this means that the leadership of the Northern Church has been completed - the White Knights representing the Southern Church will become the controllers of the cathedral, and the Patriarch Wright of the Southern Church, with the assistance of Veronica and the support of the "oracle", will enter the Great Hall of Light and become the co-leader of the North and South Churches.

In this process, the Northern Church will undergo reforms, starting with changes in the high-level ruling structure of the Church, the title of "Pope" will be abolished and replaced by the position of "Grand Patriarch" of the Southern Church, and the positions of priest and treasurer will be established to replace the former bishopric structure.

After that, the doctrinal precepts of the Northern Church will be gradually replaced by the doctrinal precepts of the Southern Church, and many of the "holy decrees" that the Northern Church had carried out in the past, including ransom, forced conversion, and heresy, will also be abolished.

For the Northern Church, this change is almost earth-shattering, but it is inevitable that all this will be carried out, because all this is an "oracle", a message from the God of Light to the last pope. Ivan III, an oracle recorded by the living saint Veronica, discussed by the consuls of the Cecil Empire and the high-level government council, and approved by the leader of the empire.

Gawain lowered his head and looked at the other materials on the table, Amber quietly disappeared, but his breath still stayed in the study, and outside the window, outside the Silver Castle, a melodious and solemn bell was ringing.

The bells shrouded the Basilica of the Holy Light, the glimmer of holiness rippled between the spires, vaults, and columns of the church, and the priests, priests, baptized knights, and devout core believers stood quietly among the columns, standing outside the Great Hall of Light, listening to the melodious bells, nervously and with a hint of anticipation, waiting for the end of the "Holy See".

The white knights from the south guarded the intersections and gates of the cathedral, these tall and mighty priests were silent and solemn, their armor and war hammers floating on the surface, as if they were legendary heavenly warriors, their faces hidden under the full coverage of the helmets, only the indifferent gaze seemed to come from the crystal eyepieces of those helmets, scanning the crowd gathered around the church, other than that, these steely warriors did not have the slightest superfluous movements and conversations.

The low-ranking priests and believers who were not qualified to enter the Hall of Light, or even the main building of the church, were in awe at the moment, and in the eyes of these people, the light that lingered around the White Knights and their silent and majestic temperament were obviously manifestations of divine grace - these must be the most devout and powerful believers, otherwise how could they have such a light-like body?

In the Great Hall of Light, Wright was standing in the center of the hall, and in front of him gathered the only remaining high-ranking priests in the Church of the Holy Light, while Veronica, the living saint of the Northern Church, stood beside him, the holy princess held the platinum scepter representing the "bridge of the gods" in one hand, and opened the other hand, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "...... Pious and venerable saint? His Majesty Ivan has brought us the mercy of the Light with his noble sacrifice, and the new oracle has revealed to us the right path......

“…… The oracle has appointed our new leader, who was born of the light and came to us according to the way of the Light, who walked the true path of Light......

“…… That terrible and blasphemous catastrophe is a test and a warning to us that we have to accept because of our misunderstanding of the nature of the Light's will, and to reshape our faith with it......

"Saint? His Majesty Ivan left this world because he took the mistake on our behalf, but because of his great sacrifice, the Light summoned him in advance and communicated these truths to us through his mouth before he left this world......"

Veronica's voice echoed in the Great Hall of Light, and the high-ranking priests listened silently until the voice fell, and these people did not question it, but praised in unison: "Praise the Light, praise our Lord, praise our new guide and shelter, praise Wright?" Ivy can crown ......"

In the midst of the praise, Wright raised his hammer aloft.

An unprecedentedly holy, unprecedentedly powerful light descended from the sky, penetrating the sea of holy light clouds at the top of the Great Hall of Light, and enveloping Wright.

The high-ranking priests in the hall were touched and praised again, and this time in unison, there seemed to be more sincerity......

"Disperse," Wright laid down the hammer in the light, "to convey the good news to the faithful, that there will be no turmoil, no one will be abandoned or unjustly judged, and that the Light will still protect everyone." ”

The church attendants opened all seven doors of the hall, and the high-ranking priests in the Great Hall of Light departed, and soon the holy hall fell silent.

Wright sighed softly: "...... In the end, they still have a 'Lord' to praise......"

"After all, it takes one step at a time, the Northern Church has been living on this land for seven hundred years, and the devout faith is deeply rooted, and we can't let them leave the Lord in the first place," Veronica said in a soft voice, "not to mention...... We all know that the 'Lord' is truly there. ”

Wright glanced at the "disobedient" and nodded slightly.

Whether it was Gawain, who supported the Southern Church, Wright, who promoted the new doctrine, or the rebels who opposed God, they never denied the real existence of "God."

The existence of God is an objective fact of this world, and the rebels were not atheists from the beginning, and this is what they are most aweed about:

They admit the existence of the gods, and they try to confront the gods under this premise.

"It is indeed a relatively safe plan to gradually replace the original title of God of Light with the new concept of 'Will of Light', and in the process to promote the true Way of Light, but also beware of the concept of 'Will of Light' becoming the new shackles......," Wright said in a deep voice, "You haven't thought about this, have you?" ”

"If the old belief system and doctrine don't change, then the shackles won't change, and we all know that simply changing the name of the god can't fundamentally liberate people's hearts," Veronica smiled, "but that's what we need to change, isn't it?" ”

At this point, the rebel paused, and continued to speak calmly, "Therefore, it can also be understood in this way—if everyone realizes that the transcendent power of the Light belongs to everyone, if everyone realizes that everyone is free to think about doctrines, and everyone sees the gods only as a spiritual sustenance, and not as the supreme shackles of precepts and the masters of their own destiny, then even if everyone still believes in the God of Light, the shackles have already been unraveled, right?" ”

Wright quietly pondered the meaning of Veronica's words, and only raised his head after half a minute: "Is this some kind of research conclusion of your work as a 'rebel'?" ”

"Let's not," Veronica smiled, "but not finally...... Maybe it really has to be until the day when mortals can directly confront the gods, and when we really find the kingdom of God and find the gods, that we can figure out what the gods are and how they operate, and then we can find the final conclusion. ”

Wright pondered for a moment, but did not continue to ask, but referred to the practical problem at hand: "The reform of the Northern Church will start with Saint Sunil, and the first step will be to establish a clerical structure here in the manner of the Southern Church, in which the key positions will be filled by the priests who have been mobilized from the Southern Church, what do you propose in this regard?" ”

"The old bishopric is gone, so you will not be hindered in this layer, but when you begin to touch the interests of the middle and lower clergy, there will inevitably be resistance—but the more middle and lower clergy, the more they can be solved in a secular way, and they have more human weaknesses than they are inclined to 'divinity', money, violence, division and disintegration, psychological offensive, all these means will be effective for them.

"Secondly, you have to make sure that you have enough force to sustain the whole process, the white knights are strong, and their force is suitable. Please be merciful, the situation in the north is different from that in the south, where there are many extremely stubborn conservative priests who will not tolerate your mercy.

"Finally, for the vast majority of believers, the power of the word 'oracle' is infinite, and making the most of these two words to make them believe and follow them is most effective in the north. But be careful, don't abuse these two words, 'do convenience in the name of God' is a great temptation, and if you indulge in it, you will be no different from the original northern church, and you will unknowingly fall into the yoke of the gods. ”

Wright nodded slightly.

Veronica's suggestion is similar to what Gawain told him in private, but it is more detailed and more in line with the special situation of the northern region, which may confirm that the "rebel" in front of him is worthy of cooperation.

"Oracle......" Wright muttered softly, sighing slightly, "then we need to further strengthen the saint?" The glorious image of Ivan III ......"

"In order for our reforms to be more unimpeded, to make the 'oracle' more orthodox and convincing, a noble sacrifice is indispensable." Veronica said quietly, turning her head to look at the empty Holy Seat in the center of the hall.

"Glory to the dead, and since His Majesty the Pope has been gloriously called by the Lord, then we can also rest assured and boldly give all righteousness to him......"
