Chapter 232: Doctrine is supreme
Liu Ci solved the most hated marquis like chopping melons and vegetables, and his mood was indescribably happy. If there is a slight regret, it is just a pity that she really can't help it...... Supposedly, Rachel should have taken care of Mr. Marquis herself!
But in the Bright Divine Palace, His Majesty the Pope, who is supreme in the Bright Continent, obviously doesn't think so. Liu Ci walked in a high-profile manner, and Director Charles did not dare to pretend not to see it, so he asked the priest of Moses to be informed, and with the loyalty of the priest of Moses to the pope, His Majesty the Pope naturally got the news quickly.
His Majesty the Pope, who was in power, was immediately furious, he didn't kill Liu Ci immediately for someone's sake, but now he just circled her in the Holy Land Harbor, and the little civilian woman couldn't bear it, this is to openly provoke the authority of the Holy See? - It's ridiculous, the Holy See was able to summon her from Amster, and before she could say that she could leave, Liu Ci's behavior was really too bold.
"Send a team of knights to bring her back! If she is obedient, she will still be sent back to the office of the diocese of Amster; If she dares to resist, break her hands and feet, and send her to the company of the heretic Green Elf. ”
The twenty-four Knights of Light are "one team", you must know that Xi Ze went to Selmont to take up his post, and the accompanying Knights of Light were only one team, and His Majesty the Pope ordered a team of knights to arrest Liu Ci, and they already looked up to her strength.
As soon as the Pope's voice fell, a god quickly bowed down and retreated to convey the Pope's will: Of course, not only the Pope and the priests lived in the Bright Shrine, but in fact, the Knights of Light in the Holy Land Harbor were stationed in a key position in the Shrine.
The priest of Moses was silent, and in fact he disagreed with Liu Ci's actions...... He thought that the girl was smart enough, and she should be able to see that the top brass of the Holy See took a lot of care of her, and she was also an arbitrary character.
I'm too young to stand the pressure! Priest Moses sighed silently and secretly prayed that Liu Ci would not resist when the knights of light appeared in front of her. Even if you are lucky enough to win a team of Knights of Light, there are countless priests and priests in the Holy Land Harbor, and the Bright Knights who defend the Holy Land Harbor are even more numerous, and they have an army comparable to the royal family.
Liu Ci is just a person, where can he escape the wrath of the Pope? Moreover, her sister is still in the monastery...... Being smart will only affect your loved ones. Let's hope she can be brought back obediently, at most she will be under house arrest in the Amster office, and it will not be embarrassing.
If the winter insects are not with the summer rain, Liu Ci's mind Moses priests can't understand it, and the Pope's jealousy of Liu Ci can't be experienced by Moses priests.
But the priest of Moses could see that the pope was in a bad mood at this time, so he was very discerning and offered to retire. The Pope waved his hand, "Priest Nishizawa is transferred, after all, Priest Veblen is from the Diocese of Amster, and he may not know much about many of the religious affairs in the Holy Land Harbor, you can mention Priest Veblen a lot these days, and make sure that he can really take over the religious affairs left by Priest Nishizawa as soon as possible." ”
The huge Holy Land Harbor is divided into twelve districts, led by the twelve bright priests of the Holy Land Harbor, and the teaching affairs left by the priest Nishizawa are not too much, but it is not too difficult to find some trivial things to drag the Veblen priest back.
The priest of Moses understood God and knew that His Majesty the Pope did not want Veblen to be involved in what was going to happen, so he wanted to stumble over it.
The priest of Moses was also a little envious for a while, of course, he was worried that Veblen would be involved in Liu Ci's affairs and make it difficult for the pope, but the superior would have such worries about his subordinates, which also showed that the pope valued the upright old priest!
When the priest of Moses left, His Majesty the Pope withdrew from the priests and left the priests and left alone in the palace.
The Divine Mirror, which would only hover over the flames, was once again put to use by the Pope. When the Pope waved his scepter, a white mist rose from the surface of the mirror, and then a blurred black shadow appeared in the mirror.
The white mist swayed for a while, and it took a while for the ripples to stabilize. An aging face looked directly at the Pope, and immediately said, "I heard that Your Majesty has sent a team of knights to arrest Liu Ci?" This does not seem to be the same as what we have discussed before. ”
When the Pope heard the accusation in his words, he also disliked it: "Oh, what the old gentleman and I have discussed is not to alarm the civilian girl for the time being, right?" But now that she is so provoking the authority of the Holy See, I let her go, and what prestige will she have in the Holy Land in the future! Hmph, if it weren't for the old gentleman's words first, just looking at her age and appearance, she would have been arrested and put in a black prison as soon as she appeared in the Holy Land Harbor, where would there be a lot of trouble in the future! ”
The picture of the divine mirror shook for a while, and the old voice was even more impatient: "Originally, it was just for you not to kill her easily, but His Majesty the Pope intentionally or unintentionally implied that the priest Moses treated her favorably, and the priest of Moses acted with scruples, and he didn't see how embarrassed she was when he interrogated Edward...... Speaking of which, she is just a civilian girl, and she is clearly released like this, can she not doubt the intentions of the Holy See? His Majesty the Pope is not at ease about letting her go, so he should leave her in the Holy Land Harbor openly, and if you don't say anything, she is suspicious and suspicious, so she will naturally have to find her own way. ”
A suspicion arose in the Pope's mind, and knowing what an old and shrewd figure the figure in the mirror was, he did not have to hide his thoughts:
"Mr. tried his best to vouch for her, but despite the friendship between you and me for many years, I didn't want to speculate on Mr.'s intentions, and I couldn't help but ask at this time, could it be that the civilian woman was a relative and friend of Mr.? So you know that her black hair and black eyes may be the magic star that the high priest predicted will bring great disaster to the Holy See, and you also want to save her life? ”
The more the Pope thought about it, the more he felt that his guess might be true. The person in the mirror, who has been trapped in the coming of his life for many years, has become more and more lazy to take care of trivial matters, let alone meddle in the internal affairs of the Holy See for a civilian girl.
The pope's expression naturally fell into the eyes of the person in the mirror, and the other party frowned and said, "Who said I want to...... Well, what is the use of telling you more about this, a few years ago the high priest prophesied with a sacrifice of life, and I know that there is panic in your heart. The divine power has been entrenched in the continent for thousands of years, and once there is a good thing in your hands, even if you see the God of Light after death, you will not be able to escape the blame. But have you ever thought that any magic is created by man, and its essence is to serve man himself, since it is a spell made out of nothing, can it be guaranteed that it will never be wrong? Whether the High Priest's prophecy was accurate or not, or whether his interpretation of the prophecy was accurate, had a completely different result!
A few years ago, you mobilized the people and hastily decided to exorcise the demons, not only did not remove the hidden danger of the prophecy, but even caused unrest in various parts of the mainland...... Now that the Dark Council is ready to move across the sea, do you dare to say that it was not your sloppiness that left the enemy a chance? The fundamental reason why the Holy See has been able to Pangu for thousands of years is that it has the hearts of the people of the entire continent, acting indiscriminately, so that all parties have opinions on the Holy See, and it is precisely because the Dark Council has perceived the instability within the Bright Continent that it has strengthened its determination to fight back to the mainland! ”
The man of the mirror spoke eloquently, leaving the Pope speechless.
Although these words are not to be heard, they are indeed not nonsense, and the exorcism caused the Holy See to lose some of the people's hearts a few years ago. Although ordinary civilians will never know the truth, because of the black-haired and black-eyed girls in the family, many nobles in the mainland have fallen victim to the exorcism plan.
Although the royal families cooperated with the Holy See, they did not have any doubts in their hearts. Like the Lorenz family, which is also a magic family with a history of many years, only one sentence from the Holy See is "magic star", and the family has to sacrifice the life of the young lady of the family...... Hehe, one day the Holy See pointed to a certain royal family and said that they were disrespectful to God, is it that the kingdom is about to change dynasties?
The three empires have been nervous by the exorcism operation, and in recent years, the situation has become more and more acute, and even launched a national war two years ago. It's okay, who is willing to fight, but if there is no foreign aggression, one day the Holy See will not like itself, and where will the weak national power be able to resist theocracy.
The Pope actually felt a little remorseful in his heart...... Of course, he didn't repent to those innocent dead girls, he just felt that the exorcism should be carried out more secretly and thoughtfully.
But thinking of the high priest who vomited blood and fell from the Tower of Light, the Pope felt a blood tumbling in his heart, "Sir has a special position in the Holy See, I still remember being taught by Sir when I was young, and being favored by the old Pope, thanks to Sir for me. But I can still distinguish between private kindness and the doctrine of the Holy See...... The exorcism program may not be perfect, but once it has begun, it cannot be stopped. Recently, there has been a dark tide in the Holy Land Port, and there are discordant voices in all major dioceses, but doesn't this just mean that the demon star prophesied by the high priest has not been removed? The demon star is immortal, the Holy See is unstable, no matter what kind of relationship the civilian girl has with her husband, she can only have one way, and that is to sacrifice to the gods! ”
After the Pope said righteously, he simply cut off the Divine Mirror.
At the other end of the mirror, old Connie sat on the stool for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Who said she couldn't die, but dear His Majesty the Pope, your mind is now bigger." ”
The fledgling Pope is not the man he taught in the past. Old Connie knew that the other party felt that his life was near, so he no longer obeyed.
Doctrine supremacy? It's really ridiculous, if these people in power who talk about the teachings of the Holy See all day long, if they really sincerely worship the God of Light, why should they steal the faith of God to maintain their lives...... However, what he can be thankful about is that he has never really planned to rely on anyone, and he will always have a back hand.
