Archbishop Ludwig shook his head and said calmly: "I have not received an application for an arrest warrant for any of the protected freemen!"

Bishop Filch feigned surprise and said, "How can such a thing happen?" and then frowned, and his gaze fell on the two adults in the Inquisition.

Lord Artest was unmoved, as calm as the sea, while Lord Tetus frowned, glanced at Mrs. Loris, and took the initiative to admit: "That's right, I ordered it, but it was not an arrest, but I just asked the author of the Iliad to come to the church to assist in the investigation once, his works are suspected of praising the old gods of the ancients, and I very much doubt that he himself was deeply influenced by the apostles of the Pantheon!"

"Assist with the investigation?"

Mrs. Loriss couldn't help but chuckle and said with a smile, "Few of the people who have been asked by the inquisitors of the Inquisition to assist in the investigation have been able to walk out of the door of your Inquisition again, right?"

"The pious are not afraid of torture, but the holy are not afraid of judgment!"

Master Tetus said coldly: "Only the unclean who have different thoughts and have deviated from the ways of the Lord will be afraid of the Inquisition's investigation! Lady Loris, this Carl Rowland, not only wrote the Iliad in praise of the Old Gods, but also resisted the investigation of the Church, wounding two Night's Watchmen and the Holy Knights, I have reason to suspect that this person is a believer of the Old Gods, and because of fear, he resisted the Inquisition's investigation!"

"Huh!"

Mrs. Loriss couldn't help but chuckle, but she didn't expect that thousands of years have passed, and the style of the inquisitors has not changed at all, and the pious are not afraid of torture? The holy are not afraid of judgment? If it is really according to this standard, then except for those true saints, all human beings in this world can be sent to the stake by the inquisition to play barbecue.

What's more, since the end of the dark millennium, the court has long lost the power to grasp the court's review without procedures when it sees who is suspicious. The so-called assistance in the investigation is nothing more than the inquisition's action to circumvent the power of the inquisition, which is limited by the Holy Convention, and specifically to target the ordinary commoners who are not protected by the nobility. Normally, the nobility and the lords would turn a blind eye to the Church in respect of the Church, but when it comes to the nobles themselves or the commoners who are protected by the nobles, it is a strict line.

Therefore, Lady Loriss did not talk nonsense, but said lightly: "According to the Holy Covenant signed by the Glory Emperor and the Gregorian Pope, the investigation and trial of any nobles and commoners under the protection of nobles and lords by the Inquisition must obtain the permission of their superior nobles or protectors, and under the joint supervision of the lord and bishop, before the investigation can be conducted!"

"Lord Tetus, your actions are a serious violation of the Holy Pact!"

"Humph!"

Inquisitor Titus sneered and said, "When did an awakened person of the Canghai Dragon bloodline actually become a protected person?"

The bloodline of the Canghai Dragon is derived from the bloodline of the ancient magic emperor, not only one of the seven crown bloodlines of the knight world, but also the royal bloodline of the remnants of the magic empire of the Xibai Kingdom.

"Lord Tetus!"

In response to Inquisitor Tetus's accusation, Lady Loriss smiled and only said softly: "Five hundred years ago, the Xibai Kingdom reached a reconciliation with the church under the mediation of the Holy Hyrule Empire, and there are even two beautiful princesses, with noble sea dragon bloodlines, who married into the royal family of the Holy Hyrule Empire and the San Jose Empire respectively. The blood of the Canghai Dragon is no longer on the Holy See's purification list!"

Perhaps, in the early days after the War of Dawn, the Kingdom of Xibai, a country composed of the remnants of the Ancient Magic Empire, still maintained a relatively pure magical bloodline and culture, and became the great enemy of the Glorious Church. However, with thousands of years of continuous seclusion, this once glorious magical kingdom has become more and more conservative and outdated, and if it were not for the alliance with the elves and the protection of the forbidden spell, this kingdom would have been defeated in the aggressive invasion of the radiant camp.

With the rise of the Arcane Federation and the birth of the Pantheon, the Church's greatest enemy has gradually become a nascent Arcane force. It is in this situation that the emperor of the Holy Hyrule Empire took the opportunity to mediate and successfully ended the thousands of years of hostility between the church and this ancient kingdom, and married the princess of Xibai who had been in love for a long time.

"The blood of sin is always sin!"

Inquisitor Tetus said coldly, the ultra-conservative forces of the Inquisition have always been opposed to reconciliation with any heresy, and in the marriage and reconciliation between the Emperor of the Holy Hyrule Empire and Princess Xibai, the Inquisition did not stumble secretly, and even paid the price of the fall of a chief inquisition and the removal of one of the most elite night watch legions. Although the matter was suppressed by the Church, the Inquisition never concealed its attitude towards reconciliation.

"Huh!"

Madame Loriss chuckled, and instead of dwelling on Inquisitor Tetus, she turned her gaze to Archbishop Ludwig and asked with a smile, "Your Excellency, what do you think?"

"Shepherd the Lamb that returns from its way away, and teach them well, and do not drive them back to the wasteland because of their love or dislike."

Archbishop Ludwig recited a sentence from the Holy Scriptures and then said calmly: "Under the light of the Lord, all lambs are equal, and they are not inherently sinful because of their bloodline." Master Tetus, since the Church has been cleared of the sins of the blood of the sea dragon, it is a clean white lamb! ”

With that, Archbishop Ludwig turned to Master Artest again, sighed and said, "Lord Artest, it is very inappropriate that the Inquisition did not notify me and Bishop Filch of this action!"

In the face of Archbishop Ludwig's questioning, Master Artest stood as steady as a sculpture, and only said lightly: "Dear Archbishop Ludwig, I don't think there is anything wrong with Tetus's actions!"

"Lord Artest, you're not right to say that!"

Bishop Filch took the initiative to say: "Mr. Carl Rowland is a free man under the protection of Lady Loris, and comes from the Holy First Paladin family, with a clean background and pious beliefs, such an innocent person should not be treated so disrespectfully by the Inquisition!"

"Dear Lord Artest, Judge Tetus has clearly violated the Holy Covenant, violated the decree of His Majesty the Great Holy See, and exceeded the duties of a judge, and you should not protect him because he is your subordinate!"
