.

The warm sea breeze blew from the other side of the world, swept over this beautiful city, and caused the unclosed wooden doors to creak against the door frame irregularly.

The innkeeper's crazy and perverted laughter lasted for a long time, and knowing that his lungs were beginning to protest, he swallowed the inferior wine in his glass again.

Bill didn't know what he was laughing at, he wasn't interested in the radiation effects of the tyranny of others on his surroundings, he had completely forgotten everything that had happened in Brittus, or that his brain, which had been reorganized countless times, had long since erased the irrelevant female branches and things from the cerebral cortex.

Hopefully this is an evolution.

By the time the innkeeper was drunken on the table, Bill was sure he was drunk, just babbling about something, but it was all drunk.

"Hundreds of witches......

Slowly rocking the goblet with three fingers, Bill observes its shine in the faint sunlight, and while the meaning of temperature and colour is lost for this inferior white wine, it's just a habit.

Because he soon found many illogical questions from the innkeeper's answers.

"If there really were such a number of witches hiding in the area of Ceylon, wouldn't they have had a terrifying effect on the region?"

"Referring to the current attitude of the Holy See towards wizards, even if only clues are found, this group of liars who can't wait to establish an image among the people will be tracked down, and the hunt for witches will still exist in pieces......

"And the strength of wizards should not be weak, even if witches with Max's strength are not the basic measure in the wizarding community, it is impossible for all of the hundreds of witches in Ceylon to be marginalized who cannot use witchcraft. 」

"This hunt is hypocritical. 」

Bill stops shaking his wine glass?? He also wanted to get more inspiration from this incident, and finally connected this incident to Williams and observed the impact of this incident on Williams Cliff.

Under the influence of alcohol, Bill felt as if he had overlooked a crucial breaking point, but he definitely didn't do it intentionally.

He got up from his chair, which rubbed back a little under the force of the interaction, making a loud thud, and the sleepy tavernkeeper struggled to open his eyelids, as if he had forgotten to look at his watch.

“...... Well, are you leaving?"

"It's time to leave, thank you for telling me about the past, but I still need to know more, do you have any good recommendations for places to go?"

"Well, okay, let me think about it......"

After the innkeeper hiccuped, he really thought with his head on his shoulders, probably because he had been in the service industry for a long time, and he would subconsciously help the guests.

"I remember...... Yes, I remember!"

"There is also a museum dedicated to the great achievements of the Holy See in the city, so why don't you go and see it somewhere?"

He slapped the table excitedly and shouted, seemingly completely oblivious to everything that had just happened, and Bill casually said thank you and told the boss to check out.

The innkeeper then remembered to look up and find that there was still a minute left before the latest check-out time, and he was so frustrated that he took another big sip of wine.

It's just that when he was ready to return the deposit and looked up to pay it back, there was still a man in the hotel......

Bill only left quietly, unnoticed by the man who had taken over his mind with the drunkenness, and he had to stop using his abilities due to the increased search of the cultists in Monte City

Now the brown-haired young man is standing on the sidewalk three streets from the center of the city, casually walking to a bookstore, buying books and asking the clerk where the museum is.

"Sir, didn't you come with the tour, or did you not find a guide?"

The female clerk with the little stars in her eyes (or the bookstore owner's daughter) has crimson cheeks, but Bill can only see the disgusting skin and pores in the clerk.

But he had to hold back the disgust.

"There are no tour groups and tour guides, I came here by myself, so I can be a little more free after all, you should know about the museum, right?"

"It's the one that put a lot of the great history of the Holy See. ”

Bildo, in order to ensure that he would not be directed to other places, the female clerk walked directly outside the door to show him the way, and kindly reminded him.

"Sir, are you also the most faithful believer, then you may be disappointed. ”

"Although the purpose of this memorial museum is to keep history in mind the contribution of the Holy See to the maintenance of world peace, the Holy See is not willing to provide the museum with a history that goes beyond the available materials. ”

"So most of the exhibits in this memorial museum are cut out of newspapers as the main content of the commemoration of the Holy See of Oude, which is not in line with the scale that a memorial museum should have. ”

"Therefore, the current memorial museum commemorates many of the exhibits that should be in the humanities museum, and it is no longer just a building that celebrates the Holy See. ”

Although the girl gave a detailed introduction to the museum in order to talk to Bill more, the information she provided did not stop him.

Bill came here before the museum closed, and sure enough, he didn't see anything new, and in the museum, whose main purpose was to praise the church, the content of the Ode-Holy See was contained in a small room.

But that didn't affect the manager's loyalty to the house.

It was decorated in a papal style, and Bill even thought that the reason for the development of light industry in Ceylon was inextricably linked to this, since the people had long focused on currying favor with the papal see.

Bill's historical footsteps in the museum's collection of materials for the Holy See of Ode saved him the time he had to collect newspapers himself, so it was not without his gains.

On the four white walls, arranged in chronological order, on the east side of the wall is the first newspaper to record the Ode-papacia.

It is pressed down by two smooth glass plates, and there are delicate lacquered wooden frames to seal the four sides, hanging on the dense printed words on the ordinary person who is just tall enough to look up and see the dense printing words on it.

Some of the ink on the newspaper was a little blurry, and the dampness added to the trouble of preserving the newspaper, but Bill learned from the following account that the newspaper appeared in 1600 and that the museum had purchased it from a newspaper collector for three hundred gold pounds.

The contents of the newspaper seem to indicate that the Holy See is sending its blessing to the birth of the newspaper, hoping that the appearance of the newspaper will promote social progress and become a tool for the people to supervise society.

Looking a few further down, it seems that the Holy See has always solved problems from the standpoint of the people and carried out activities from the standpoint of the people.

As for the veracity of the papal position recorded in the newspapers, Bill could not be independent, but he could judge that Oude had been questioning the aristocracy from 1600 onwards.

This was completely different from Bill's impression of the Holy See, and even made him intuitively change his view of the Holy See, because he always believed that the Holy See of Oude had gradually changed its face since the beginning of industrial development.

When Bill walked past the first few newspapers and came to the 1605 newspapers, he finally saw talk about the existence of the Ode-Holy See, which had not yet been used by the 1600-1605 newspapers to boast that he had hunted many witches for the world.

The bishops only expressed their opinions on some phenomena in society in a low-key manner, hoping that their voices would be heard by more people, and tried to reason with the hard-line aristocracy of the time.

In 1605, the newspaper wrote that the existence of the Holy See of Oude, which had existed for more than two thousand years (it is impossible to verify, the time is speculative), was suddenly doubted, and the position of religious domination was greatly threatened.

This threat comes from the sudden emergence of a heretical organization called the Dragon Cult, advances in physics, and the sage schools that have sprung up.

They are full of doubts about whether the demons and wizards in the mouth of the Holy See of Oud really exist, and they are also full of doubts about whether the Holy See can protect the world from evil wizards.

Bill was intrigued by this history, and he had never seen such a record in the history books he had consulted before, so he perused the pages of the newspaper.

This kind of writing from the perspective of a third party, although it is necessarily tendentious, can also reconstruct the events that took place more than 100 years ago between the lines.

「...... In response to the doubts of the outside world, the Holy See of Oude made a judgment of not responding to their usual style, but these ignorant organizations that thought they were smart did not feel ashamed of themselves because of the nobility of the Holy See. 」

"They have done something rebellious that will never be forgiven by God!"

"Evil infidels and bribed officials are trying to frame the Holy See in a lowly way, in a vain attempt to show the public that the witches it has dealt with are innocent. 」

"The Dragon Cult also used the newspapers to spread lies among the people, claiming that all witches were made by the Holy See, and that they were the tools of the Holy See to throw themselves into society to seek power and interests!"

"The Sophists and scientists, who thought they had the truth, began to question the reality of miracles and catastrophes, believing that they were tricks of magicians and that regional disasters were the work of the Holy See!"

"For this reason, the pagans and the sophists waited in turn at the gates of the churches in the urban settlements, and whenever a commoner tried to enter the church, he would be asked a bunch of questions, and if he could not answer them, he would not be allowed to enter the church. 」

"The most faithful members who lived in the church were treated even worse, they were left behind in the church, they were not allowed to have any contact with the outside world, and they were not allowed to go out to buy. 」

"Whenever a congregation steps out of the church, they are questioned by opposition groups who stand outside and set up a hundred questions to make it difficult for the Holy See and the believers of God, and they can only enter and leave the church if they answer all these questions, and give answers that no one present can refute. 」

Bill moved his neck twice, and felt that the muscles in his neck had been calculated, and all the amino acids in it had turned into lactic acid.

The upward reading angle is very torturous, and although it is easy to strip away the pain, Bill decides not to, and when he talks to Alfred about alleviating the condition, he proposes to hide his feelings to hide the disgust he feels when he is touched.

Alfred is adamantly opposed to this approach.

"There is no point in this deception!"

"Bill, never make such an attempt, because you will lose everything!"

"Never ......"

Bill was so impressed by the well-mannered psychiatrist's excited reaction that he couldn't tell Alfred about his long time on the stripping of his feelings.

He was afraid that the doctor, who was in a state of mood swings, would suddenly change his mind and think that he needed to return to the asylum and become a monster locked up forever.

Not knowing if he is sick or not is a big obstacle in front of the psychopath, hindering his judgment on many things, so Bill hopes that he will be cured.

At the very least, you must have the ability to make preliminary judgments, judging whether the decisions and actions you make in each moment are judgments made under the control of reason, or the desires of deep confidence.

He needs reason to control himself, not simply driven by desire, even if there is desire behind reason, it must be wrapped.

After bleeding from the neck, Bill continued to read the second half of the paper, hoping to learn more about the true face of the Holy See.

The desires of the Holy See must have been tightly wrapped in something.

"In complete isolation, churches around the world did not panic, and they responded as if they could communicate from afar: silence. 」

"The Holy See of Oude waits in the besieged church, as if it were really waiting for a miracle to come, but the outside world is increasingly questioning the Holy See, and people are in dire need of an explanation. 」

"It is understandable that in the days when the question of survival is still in place, people need to know whether the two percent of the tax paid to the Holy See is worth it. 」

"In this way, the churches are surrounded not only by cultists and math maniacs, but also by ignorant and impudent thugs who are tougher than the opposition. 」

"In the midst of growing resentment, a reckless child lifted a stone and smashed the stained glass of the church, allowing the violence to finally erupt, less than two months after the Sophists questioned the Holy See of Oude, and only five days after the Holy See was officially surrounded. 」

"The miracle occurred on the eighth day and night of the general siege of the Holy See of Oude, when the doors and windows that had been firmly sealed by the faithful were opened in the thirteen days and moons, and the bishops of all the world, dressed in gray robes, came out of the shadow of the church at the same time. 」

"They did not hide from the calamity that was coming, the stinking mud lay on their solemn faces, the sewage ran down the bishop's silver beard and hair, and the sharp stones pressed down on the heads!"

"But our great bishop has always been steadfast in his march, walking in the forefront step by step, following the congregants who have been hungry for more than ten days, and equally silently bearing what should not have happened!"

"Your Excellency, the Bishop, has suffered the most damage, and there is no lack of ignorant verbal attacks, but our Bishop has only smiled the most kindly in the direction of the people. 」

"They [bishops from all over the world] came to the cultists and the school of the wise, or rather, they came to the wooden board full of questions, and their hearts were like water. 」

"The bishop said, 'I am here to answer the question.' 」
