Chapter 0203: The Holy See's Past

"Okay, let's sort it out. Van der Vaart patted the paladin on the shoulder and said, "You said that you want to get forgiveness from the Holy See and prove your innocence to the Holy See, right, I think the Holy See in your mouth must be referring to God's dwelling place on earth?"

"That's right. Cybertron's palm was already gripping the hilt of the sword.

"That's right, God's only stronghold and dwelling place on earth is here. Vandervaart explained to the paladin. So now you have proven your innocence to God, that you are innocent. ”

"What about the Holy See everywhere?" the paladin couldn't help but want to do it.

"That's just an evil organization that deceives the world in the name of God and collects money, and the Pope in the Holy City is the biggest traitor to the Holy See, so the churches everywhere have nothing to do with God, they are blaspheming the true God. Van der Vaart turned back to the table and fiddled with the items on the table. "If you don't agree with me, I don't think you have come all the way to me, according to you, you are in Blott City, I think there must be a number of rather large churches near Blot, you must have looked for them, but to no avail. ”

Cybertron's expression became ugly, Van der Vaart was not wrong at all, none of the churches he went to were willing to prove their innocence, and they really only wanted to collect money, they only wanted to fool the world, such people were not worthy of being servants of God, as for the Holy City, he once sent a paladin to hunt him down, which showed the attitude of the other party, the Holy City would not forgive himself at all, and only wanted to let himself die.

"If you don't speak, then it means that you have accepted what I said, and now you see the true God, and this is the only God's stronghold on earth, and I am the only faithful believer in God, and you are about to become the second. Van der Vaart turned around, and there was one more thing in his hand, which was a musket.

Cybertron wasn't in the mood to pay attention to this, and he frowned at Van der Vaart, the old man of Red Moss. "Then why do you say that you are the only faithful believer, this is the stronghold of the only God on earth, can't you be the same as those traitors to the Holy See, just using the name of God to deceive? ”

"Liar?" Van der Vaart let out a mocking laugh, glancing over the dilapidated hut before returning to Cybertron. "What do you think I've cheated? money, power, beauty, if that's the case, the place where I live wouldn't be like this. ”

The other party is right, if the other party wants to cheat, then this will not be the case, money...... Power...... Beauty...... It has nothing to do with here. But Cybertron still felt that this guy was insulting his faith, and he drew his holy sword. "Even so, you are still deceiving me, and you have no way to communicate with God. "Everything here is like a vulgar joke.

The muzzle of the musket was aimed at the paladin. "Son, it seems that you are not as faithful to God as you say, but only for your own benefit, and want the Holy See to cancel your arrest warrant, and of course I can't do that here, because those hypocrites of the Holy See are my enemies, and they are blasphemers. ”

Cybertron looked at the musket, a musket could not hurt him, now his holy light has increased a lot, almost reaching the level of the golden sword badge, he roared angrily: "They are liars, blasphemers, but you are no better, although I don't know what your purpose is in doing this, but I am sure that you are definitely not a believer in God, you are a heretic." ”

"Heretic?" Van der Vaart sneered. "How much like the accusations that the blasphemers of the Holy See gave us back then. There was something self-deprecating in his words.

"Your musket will not hurt me, the Light will bless me. The Cybertron sword rested on Van der Vaart's neck, his eyes grim and sharp.

"Really?" Van der Vaart's musket was aimed at the holy sword, pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang, the holy sword that flashed with holy light was shattered and turned into two, and the musket was withdrawn, and the old man placed the musket on the table. "Leave, though you are a lackey of the blasphemer, but now that you have been punished and wanted by the blasphemer, I will not kill you. ”

Cybertron's expression was surprised, looking at the broken holy sword in his hand, he couldn't believe that a musket easily destroyed the holy sword full of holy light in his hand, it stands to reason that the musket has no way to penetrate his holy light, especially the holy sword carrying the holy light, but the other party actually did it, his holy light was easily penetrated, which means that the other party can easily kill him.

Coming back to his senses, Cybertron threw away half of the holy sword in his hand and said in surprise, "Who are you, how could you destroy the holy sword full of holy light." ”

"Who am I?" Van der Vaart looked back at the young man and sighed, he walked over to a box and opened it, inside which were neatly placed a suit of clothes, clothes from the Holy See, and the badge, which was quite dazzling, although it had lost its luster, but it was still very attractive.

Cybertron walked up, looked at the red clothes, and then focused his eyes on the badge, as a member of the Holy See, he knew the origin of the badge, it was the status symbol of the cardinal archbishop, and it was not the cardinal archbishop in the churches of all over the world, but the cardinal archbishop from the holy city could have it, the badge was engraved with an aries, the Aries badge could only be possessed by the cardinal archbishop closest to the pope, and the person in front of him was once the cardinal archbishop next to the pope.

I didn't expect the old man's identity to be so amazing, so why did he come here? Cybertron was quite puzzled, in his memory, there had never been a cardinal in the Holy City who had been expelled.

Van der Vaart stroked the clothes in the box, and then took out the badge, his face was old, and his tone revealed loss and unwillingness. "Now I think I can represent the continuation of the Holy See, a faithful believer in God, for which I have become a thorn in the side of the Holy See today, and I can only continue my faith here. ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Cybertron, now he did not doubt the identity of the other party, and the claim that this was the last pure land of the Holy See, or the last stronghold of God on earth, because a cardinal archbishop next to the pope had such qualifications.

Van der Vaart looked at the paladin. "Now you believe me? If you still have doubts about my claims, then I don't need to tell you. ”

Looks like you have to admit it if you want to know what happened, Cybertron nodded.

"Then sit down and listen to my story. Van der Vaart motioned for the paladin to sit down and explain what had happened.

"Many years ago, I was the cardinal archbishop of the Holy City, and the Holy See at that time was loyal to God, and I was the most faithful believer of the Holy See, the right-hand man of His Majesty the Pope. ”

"But then suddenly one day everything changed, the people of the Holy City rebelled, they overthrew Agros, and their leader Anrida succeeded in succeeding to the new Pope, poor Agros was ousted from the papal throne, and the papal crown on his head was taken away, and we, the followers of the former Pope, were slaughtered, and I escaped, and escaped here. ”

After Anrida became the pope, he overthrew the original purpose of the Holy See, and on the surface it still continued the original purpose of the Holy See, but in fact the Holy See became a tool for him to collect money, and those who obeyed him were pushed to high positions, they deceived the believers, fooled the world, and made the believers give them a lot of money, which was their purpose. ”

"And I came here and settled here, the inhabitants of the town of Red Moss are quite kind and live in harmony with me, and I have built the only church here, the real church, and become the only faithful believer, this is my story, and now the Holy See is nothing more than a bunch of insatiable fellows. ”

These things reminded Cybertron of something about his childhood education in the Holy See, which recorded in the canons that there was a revolution in the Holy See, and the truth was the opposite of what Van der Vaart said, the former Pope was a traitor, and the current Pope Anrida was the most faithful believer.

But now Cybertron believes Van der Vaart's claims more, because the current Holy See is indeed what Van der Vaart said, he has been serving an evil organization, and Cybertron is clutching his head in pain. "I do things for them, and I am also one of the evil ones, and now everything I am going through is God's punishment for me, and it must be so. ”

Van der Vaart looked at the paladin in pain and stroked the paladin's head. "Child, you can see that you believe in God, not in any person, so you are not evil, there is no need to feel guilty, at least now you are back in the light, back in the embrace of the Light. ”

The knots in Cybertron's heart were finally relieved, Van der Vaart was right, the God he believed in was not any individual, so there was no need for him to obtain forgiveness from the Holy See now, there was no need to prove his innocence to them, God had forgiven him.

"Stay, stay here, stay with me, and keep the true faith alive. Van der Vaart wanted to keep the lost paladin.

Cybertron already felt the need to continue wandering, and it was okay to stay here. "I will stay here with you to deliver the will of the true God. ”

"Now that God's stronghold on earth is finally complete, I am the Cardinal, you are a paladin, responsible for the execution of those blasphemers, and I will no longer have to study engineering for the execution of those blasphemous. Van der Vaart was quite excited, he had an extra companion.

"It's all worth celebrating, and I've got to prepare a big dinner tonight to welcome you. Van der Vaart put away the musket and the engineering equipment.

"By the way, how did you break through my Light defenses?" Cybertron was still curious about this.

Van der Vaart did not hesitate to unravel the mystery for the paladins. "No one is more familiar with the Holy Light than I am, and I have added some special materials to my musket. He reached for a bottle of silver-white powder next to him and shook it a few times. "This special material has a little magic, and when added to make ammunition, it can pierce the light. ”

Indeed, a cardinal from the Holy City knew the Light better, and Cybertron was now more convinced that the other party was not lying, and that it was impossible for an outsider to know the Light so well and find a solution.

"What do I need to do?" Cybertron felt like he had to do something.

"Go to the town, get acquainted with the residents, you have to live here, the people here are very friendly, they are very willing to make friends. Van der Vaart reminded Cybertron that in order for the faith to be transmitted, it is necessary to gain the trust of the local population, which is a prerequisite, and that step by step, the real Holy See will always flourish. "The pretty girls in the area must have preferred to hear you preach God's will to me, a bad old man. ”

Cybertron's gaze changed slightly. "God told me to stay away from the terrible species of women. ”

"That's what Anruida used to deceive people, God loves anyone, male or female, they are entitled to God's protection, so you can talk to any girl, fall in love, this is the holy law made by Pope Agros. Vandervaart explained to the paladin.

The paladin was a little uncomfortable with the new law for the time being, but he had to get used to it, and left the hut, which was both a residence and a church, and headed for the town.
