Chapter 478, The Pit of Speyer
Cardinal Goger arrived at the warehouse earlier than Xiao had expected. According to Constantine, Bishop Goger was more of a scholar-type clergyman, and the cardinal avoided the internal struggles of the Holy See and went to Speyer alone to conduct some research.
Bishop Gogel was not only uninterested in the internal struggles of the Holy See, but also deeply hated the conflicts of secular interests, and in his eyes there was no distinction between the emperor and the commoners, only between the pious and the unpious.
However, it is precisely because of this that Bishop Gogel has repeatedly avoided the internal conflict of the Holy See.
From Pope Benedict VI to the current Sylvester II, it is only the most intensive period of papal change in Europe, and at the same time the most fierce internal struggle. In just 26 years, the Holy See has changed seven popes, and the chaos and contradictions within the Holy See can be imagined. Even the popes themselves, such as Benedict VI, died of murder.
And Bishop Gogel stayed out of it and survived until now.
It is precisely because he has been insulated from these struggles that he has turned a blind eye to the contradictions within the Holy Empire. The arrival of the Emperor could certainly make the entire Speyer Abbey a grand welcome, but Goger did not even think about going to see the Emperor Bixia.
Gogel was more concerned about the little Flemann, who was from Tosto and passed through the Black Forest with his subjects in the winter than the emperor. In particular, the little Fleman is said to be likely to be canonized after death, and he has been solved by the Lord in terms of scripture, and has knowledge that most cardinals do not have. The emperor of relative power. Little Fleman had a wealth of scriptural knowledge. And those who have been blessed by the Lord are more to the taste of scholarly clergy.
Therefore. On the evening of the Emperor's arrival, Bishop Gogel only met with the Emperor for a while, stayed with the Emperor for less than three minutes, and then hurriedly took his leave, completely ignoring the Emperor's expression. As for Princess Lelia, who stayed next to the emperor and looked at Bishop Gogar with poignant eyes, she was never noticed by Goger.
As soon as he left the Emperor's quarters, the cardinal strode towards the left side of the castle. It's a long stone road. It is possible to completely penetrate the entire huge castle, on the right side of the castle is the stable, and on the left side is the necessary armory, kitchen. His action obviously made the emperor a little dissatisfied, and the Gothic knights who had been standing in the corner did not look very good. After all, the Abbey of Speyer was originally the property of the Empire, but Bishop Gogel instead showed the posture of a master, and this contrast was very bad for these knights who were loyal to the emperor.
Goger didn't care about the eyes of these secular people, and he didn't care if these people would slander in front of the emperor, and then let the emperor do something to him. I want to attack him. Even the current Sylvester II has to weigh it up if Sylvester II doesn't want the Holy See to split. Keeping silent is the best option.
What's more, he had already received interesting news from the Knights of the Holy Crown, the young man who was believed to be the walking boy of the Lord on the earth, had predicted that the Emperor might not live for too long.
If the boy's prophecy is not wrong, an emperor who will not live long is not feared. The time of survival determines the possibility of the future, and the shorter you live, the more you will lose all kinds of possibilities. Comparatively speaking, the young lord was more negotiating.
"Welcome to the Abbey of Speyer, my child, I am a testimony of Konstantin's baptism, so in a sense you can call me 'grandfather' and not a cold adult."
Goger's face had traces of time carving, and he looked very indifferent, but his welcome to Xiao Yan was very warm, and even kind. Seeing Xiao Yan come up and kiss the ring on his finger, the cardinal gently patted the young man's shoulder, and at that moment, light burst out between his hand and the young man's body. It was an ineffable light, softer than soft, purer than pure. In the midst of this light, Quister and a few other cleaners on one side watched curiously as the congregation here joined in chanting the name of the Lord and began to pray in a low voice.
"Only level 3?" Goger also looked at the light, and suddenly laughed: "Konstantin has done a lot for you, my child, I have heard from those knights that when you were baptized, you saw the seat of the Lord?" β
Xiao Yan was secretly wary of Goger's sudden change of topic, and he replied in a low voice: "Yes, Lord Bishop......"
Under Goger's forced gaze, Xiao Yan changed his title: "Dear grandfather, I once saw the biggest gate open. β
Goggle nodded slightly and said, "Praise! Only the most godly can see the brilliance of the Lord. Amen. β
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to answer, the cardinal had already turned around and walked towards the depths of the warehouse with Xiao Yan, and behind him, Quister asked in a low voice, "Lord Bishop, we need to deal with some additional situations, what do you think?" β
Gogger turned his head to look at Quister and said, "You mean the goth knight who insulted you and said you were an accomplice of the liars?" What's it called? β
"Paktu, Paktu. Resmond. Viscount Dorell. β
"Let him go to hell."
Gogar replied very succinctly: "Tell the Emperor that either the heretics will die, or we will get out of here." β
Quist nodded, turned to leave, and as the warehouse door closed, the room immediately plunged into pitch black. The clergy who were in charge of cleaning up the dust left very dissensibly, allowing the cardinal and the young lord to be alone for a while.
"You're lying."
When everything settled down and there was no one around, the cardinal suddenly squinted and whispered: "I don't know how you fooled you out, but I know that you are lying. β
Xiao Yan didn't panic and asked, "How can you see it?" β
"You're not the only one who studies the Divine Script, little Fryman, I'm also studying the Divine Script. The scriptures you are translating do not match those divine texts at all, and the same divine phrase has completely different meanings in two different translations. And the fact that this kind of error occurs so often shows that you are not translating the divine text at all, but simply reciting it. β
Looking at Xiao Yan, Gogel's voice was very cold, and he continued: "They all think that you are the Lord's walk on the earth, and it is normal if you do not translate these divine texts, but directly recite new scriptures. Even if you can't be born to know it, the Lord will bless you and let you know the revised scriptures, just as you want to know the previous scriptures. β
"But instead of reciting the scriptures directly, you are explaining everything by translating the divine texts on these metal tablets, so you are deceiving Constantine, and you are also deceiving the Holy See. The question is, weishenme? β
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to answer, the old man, who looked like he was already in his last years, whispered: "There is only one possibility, you also know the true meaning of the divine text, but you can't really say these meanings. What makes me strange is that not only have you not been tired of all this by the Lord, but have been blessed by the Lord. weishenmeοΌ β
Xiao Yan's heart beat more and more intensely with Goger's distraction, and when the cardinal's question was finished and he didn't continue to state, Xiao Yan could even feel a cold sweat on his back.
"Don't think of this shijie as simple, don't be self-righteous, think that the natives on this shijie don't have any intelligence, and whatever you want to say will not be debunked."
This is a colloquial quote from the Academy's Trialist Handbook, supposedly from a certain Legendary Awakened. And now, Xiao Yan has finally realized this.
Of course, there is a paragraph to add to this passage.
"When your lie is exposed, don't panic, you can make up a bigger lie."
Xiao Yan looked at the cardinal and replied, "Everything I do is approved by the Lord. It doesn't matter if I cheat or lie or not, what matters is that what I do is what the Lord is satisfied with, and my piety is seen by the Lord, so I will be blessed by the Lord. β
Goggle smiled slightly and said, "Yes, a good answer. Remember, that's how you answer later. β
After saying that, the cardinal walked towards the depths of the warehouse with a bewildered Xiao Yan, and introduced as he went: "No one knew that in the central part of the Black Forest, such a huge monastery would appear in Weishenme. Speyer is in the heart of the entire Black Forest, and on such a tall hill the monastery would have taken unimaginable manpower and material resources to build it. It was once thought that this cathedral was built BC and that the Roman Empire was not involved in it. The whole project has been going on for thousands of years now, and it has not been interrupted and has never ended. β
Speaking of this, Goger turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "Do you know weishenme?" β
The project that hasn't stopped? Xiao Yan frowned slightly, this castle was already so magnificent, and he couldn't see where else there was any project, unless this project came from within the castle......
Aware of this, and think about what Goggle just said, the cardinal is also studying the Divine Script.
Xiao Yan suddenly realized the problem, he looked at the long warehouse passage in front of him, and whispered, "This is a passage digging towards the bottom of the mountain!" The Speyer Abbey is just a faΓ§ade, and the mountain is also part of a ruin! β
"That's right, my boy, we're going underground, and after this warehouse, it's the real work of Speier."
Gogel was very satisfied with Xiao Yan's judgment ability, and he whispered, "This is a project full of infinite possibilities. (To be continued......)
