After a few more conversations, Emilia walked out of the palace with Suge and strolled through the quiet gardens, saying, "How much do you know about the structure and system of the church as a whole?"

Su Ge thought for a moment: "I don't know much, bishops, archbishops, central archbishops, holy sword teams, and what other divine punishers, night watchmen, demon hunters and the like, are relatively scattered. ”

Amilia's nice voice carried a hint of a smile: "It's all bishops, but they are not familiar with the structure of the church, and it will be laughed at if they say it." ”

Su Ge was a little embarrassed, and said respectfully: "Please also ask the archbishop to educate." ”

"Then I'll roughly say that you are not an outsider anymore, and you should know some details about the church. ”

"I'll just start from above. At the very top of the whole Church is naturally the leader of the whole Church, His Majesty the Pope, and second only to the Pope are the three saints, known as the Three Saints. The Three Holy Saints lead the Holy Sword, the Choir, and the Inquisition, and are the pillars of the entire church structure. ”

"Three Saints......" Su Ge heard this name for the first time.

"Under the Three Saints are our twelve central archbishops, who are the core personnel who assist His Majesty the Pope in governing the Church, and each central archbishop has a fixed diocese, for example, my diocese is the entire northeastern province. In addition to the central archbishop are those ordinary archbishops who do not have dioceses, these people are generally the senators of the church, as the person in charge of emergencies, usually more leisurely, like the familiar Archbishop of Geros. ”

"Under the archbishop, it is usually your regional bishops, each of whom is in charge of the Church of the Holy Blood in a city. The overall hierarchy is not very complicated. ”

Su Ge nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood.

Emilia continued, "Let's talk about the different mechanisms under these frameworks. ”

"The choir is a group of the Saints of the Moon, and the people in it are clergy who have a devout faith and can be blessed by the goddess of March, and these people generally do not marry or marry for the rest of their lives, and dedicate everything to the goddess with a lifelong mission of singing the praises of the goddess. Each time the saints were chosen from the choir. ”

"There are three kinds of organs under the choir: the exorcist nun, who is responsible for the handling of the lowest-level monsters and helps the civilians to exorcise them, the priest of the holy word, who is mainly responsible for expelling curses for the commoners, calming the souls, praying for purification, and can also deal with some middle-level monsters, and finally the moon agent, who handles the high-level monsters, and is mainly responsible for medical treatment, blood therapy, midwifery, and protecting weak women. ”

"As the army of the Purple Moon Saints, the people in the Holy Sword Team have devout beliefs, but also have an understanding of technology and a mysterious affinity, they can easily tear the enemy apart by using the mysterious and huge mechanical giant sword, and carry out expeditions to destroy the cult, as well as those huge monsters, known as the expeditionary force of the church. ”

"There are three kinds of organs under the Holy Sword Team: the Divine Punisher, who is responsible for the handling of the lowest-level monsters, protects the safety of the people, and has the right to pursue and search for monsters, and the Demon Hunter: relatively free, responsible for dealing with all kinds of monsters, and tracking and hunting for long distances. Finally, there is the Purple Moon Agent, your previous profession, responsible for the investigation and pursuit of mysterious situations throughout the city. ”

"The Inquisition is the judicial branch of the Blood Moon Saints, and most of the people in it are from private law, and they are generally much more ruthless than the others, and they are not merciful when they speak. They not only deal with those who slander and slander the church, but also monitor the internal situation of the church at all times, and often use dark and bloody means to achieve their goals, even showing little mercy to their own people, and are called the death of the church. ”

"There are four types of organs under the Tribunal: the most common is the Night Watchman, who is responsible for the security of the entire city at night, and monitors the situation throughout the city through special means. ”

Hearing this, Suge immediately thought of Logan's crow.

"After the Night Watchmen are the Adjudicators, which you can understand as a group of executioners, who are specialized in dealing with criminals and traitors, as you will want to know, and the third is the Blood Knights, who are a kind of elite minority that specializes in dealing with unexpected things, or hiding some things in the dark, and retrieving people to be handed over to the Inquisitors. ”

"The last Blood Moon Practitioners, that kind of guy is the butcher, and they are usually sent out to face some extreme events that kill all the witnesses. ”

"In charge of these ten organs, known as the Ten Heads of the Three Holy Empires, are of the same rank as our archbishops, but they are rarely involved in decision-making and politics, and are mainly dealing with the occult aspects. ”

"The Church of the Holy Blood in each region will give some of these institutions to be deployed, and according to the size of the city, the type and number of institutions deployed, they will be uniformly assigned to the regional bishops. ”

"Are all these people uniformly assigned by the Holy See?" asked Suge.

Emilia nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "Of course, but the Holy See will listen more to the advice of our central archbishop." ”

Hearing this, Su Ge suddenly understood, and his heart was relieved.

Next, Emilia's tone fluctuated with a peculiar twist, and her lovely voice with a faint nasal tone became formal.

"In addition to these regular systems, we also have two special organizations that are independent of the system. ”

Hearing this, Su Ge immediately pricked up his ears, looked serious, and listened attentively.

Emilia was very satisfied with Suge's attitude, and continued, "The first of these is the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood. ”

"The Labyrinth of Holy Blood has finally come into contact. Suge's heart beat slightly.

"The Labyrinth of the Holy Blood is one of the core secrets of our Church. ”

Su Ge asked tentatively, "Are the legends of the outside world true?"

"There are true and false, after all, there are many people who have coveted the knowledge in our labyrinth for many years. ”

"What the hell is the Holy Blood Labyrinth?"

"Labyrinth is the birthplace of blood healing, a center for the research and development of the Church's mysteries and technologies, where we have discovered a great deal of new knowledge that we have never found before. At the mention of the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood, Emilia's face was filled with yearning.

Su Ge heard this and asked tentatively, "Archbishop, according to the introduction in "The Three Eternal Nights Before the Creation of the World", is this labyrinth ......?"

"Your reaction is fast, right. This labyrinth is the dungeon labyrinth where the corpses of ancient demons are imprisoned. Emilia looked approving.

"But the goddess doesn't want humans to come into contact with those demons. ”

With great pride and glory on her face, Emilia explained, "Yes, the goddess does not want to. But we are not ordinary human beings, we are the people and believers of the Goddess. Sooner or later, the labyrinth hidden underground will be discovered by ordinary people. And we, as servants of the goddess, naturally have to take care of this labyrinth in advance and prevent ordinary people from touching her. For all mankind is the only one who can resist the temptation of the ancient demonic body. ”

Su Ge's expression was clear: "I see. ”

"The Holy Blood Labyrinth is an incomparably dangerous and strange existence, that kind of ancient demon, even the corpses left behind, have powerful abilities that cannot be understood and explained. We have been trying for years to decipher the secrets of ancient demon corpses and find the truth inside, but as countless ancestors have died and died from generation to generation, no progress has been made. ”

"And then?"

"Later, we discovered a kind of human being, that kind of human beings will produce some mutations and become special beings, and the root cause of the mutation of that kind of human is caused by the parasite that the ancient demon emanates from the corpse. When the two get up close, they can have some special resonances. ”

"Witch!?" Su Ge's heart was shocked, and his eyes gradually widened.

Emilia nodded solemnly, "Yes, witch." Those ancient demons are very evil, and the parasites will only choose girls with pure and good hearts and beautiful postures to parasitize, and their purpose is to make us kill each other through this method first, and kill all the truly good people. Thankfully, we've seen through His schemes, and we've been hunting witches for the last few years not to kill them, but to bring them back to the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood and heal them. Because the sarcoma is very weird, if it is too far away from their mother, the slightest abnormal movement will turn into a monster, but in the maze, we can easily remove the sarcoma without causing any mutation. ”

Hearing this, Suge instantly understood, from the very beginning, when he saw Hills and Bernice for the first time, the doubts left by discovering sarcoma through the perspective of the gods were completely solved at this time.

It's not that he knows the condition of sarcoma.

In fact, the Holy Blood Church has known about it for a long time, and has even come up with a solution to it, but it has not been made public because it involves too many things.

"In that case, why did you make the identity of a witch so evil?" asked Suge curiously.

Emilia said lightly: "Not everyone can recognize the essence of witches, and many people in the church still think that witches are a huge threat, and advocate eliminating them first and then extracting sarcomas. They believe that the witch has become the offspring of an ancient demon and that there is no possibility of purification. ”

"In addition, this is tradition, no one can figure out what witches are when they first appear, and since they are threats, the church can only characterize them in this way. Over time, this concept has been deeply rooted in people's cognition and cannot be changed. ”

Suge was deeply aware of the terrifying inertia brought about by this cognitive tradition, looked up at Emilia and said seriously: "I feel very admired that you can jump out of that traditional concept. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Amilia's mouth: "You seem to have jumped out too." ”

Su Ge smiled bitterly: "I have witnessed the transformation of Her Majesty, but combined with Her Majesty's words and deeds, the perception of witches at that time has been shattered. ”

"It's a precious experience, and you have to cherish it. Amilia's eyes flashed with a unique divine light, and she admired Suge even more.
