When Meen asked this question, Theodore and Reggie, who were present, turned a little pale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They knew the origin of the wound.

Lucia touched the scar the size of a fingernail on her neck and smiled at Myne, "I was only injured by a stray arrow a few years ago. ”

Naturally, the expressions of the other two were in the eyes of Meen,

And Mien could tell that the feathered arrow through the neck was enough to kill Lucia!

Perhaps this wound was the catalyst for Lucia to join the Black Cavalry.

At least Minn feels that Lucia is no longer the simple young girl she used to be, or that the passion and kindness in her heart have been almost smoothed out by reality.

It seems that after his departure, the struggle within the church should not be underestimated.

No longer continuing the topic, Mien turned his gaze to Theodore and said lightly, "Archbishop Sunnah, tell me what is the royal family's attitude towards the church now? I'm sure you must know it very well, don't you?"

It's just that Mien's calm voice made Theodore fall into an ice cave!

He hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency, it's not what you think..."

Meen interrupted Theodore with a wave of his hand, and said in a noncommittal tone, "I know what you want to say, we'll talk about these things later, and now I just want to know the attitude of the royal family." ”

Since Theodore was a big fan of royal power, then Meen wouldn't ask the wrong person.

And the attitude of the royal family is related to what kind of attitude the church will have towards the royal family after its return!

Everyone lives under the same roof, and although there is no war, some appropriate measures are still necessary.

Besides*****, Meen had never thought that doing so would leave him in a lot of trouble except to look like he was in power.

Theodore's throat was a little dry, he wanted to explain, but Mien didn't give him a chance to explain at all, his expression was a little decadent, as if even he knew that his position as archbishop was probably coming to an end.

Clearing his thoughts, Theodore slowly spoke, "Your Excellency, you have been missing for so long, in fact, the attitude of the royal family has always been very strange, and even the attitude of Nicole I has always wavered. ”

Next, Theodore briefly recounted to Meen the slow change in the royal family's attitude towards the church over the years.

At that time, the people of Beran were able to establish the Holy Kingdom of Beran, almost entirely relying on the power of the church to give birth to this northern dynasty!

But the consequence of this is that the royal family has always been inseparable from the church.

If the royal family is openly hostile to the Church, just those angry believers are enough to make the former wolf and tiger of the Berland dynasty into turmoil.

Don't forget that the territory of the Far East has always been firmly in the hands of the Church and the Levelins, and even after the fall of the Byran family, it is not impossible to create a new Leverin dynasty.

Not to mention Enomosen, who has been eyeing the south.

But if you don't dissociate yourself from the church, the royal voice in the north will be too weak.

Therefore, the attitude of the royal family has always been to wander between the two.

Neither too distant nor too close.

Speaking of this, Theodore looked at Mien and said cautiously, "Actually, Nicole I has mentioned you in front of me many times, and her tone is ......"

Pausing slightly, "It seems to be a little nostalgic." ”

Hearing Theodore's account, Mien probably understood the attitude of the royal family, but his last sentence made Meen a little concerned.

Is it really just nostalgia for yourself?

Or is it nostalgia for the Church's understanding with the royal family under its own rule?

However, one thing that Meen can be sure of after returning is that Frankie is not as ambitious as Theodore and Reggie, although he has some means.

Otherwise, the new pope before him would not have been Theodore's turn.

At this moment, a young man in a brown robe opened the door of the chapel, walked up to Meen, bowed his head slightly, and said in a calm voice, "Your Excellency Astyk, Your Excellency Astyk asked me to take him to greet you. ”

Estik?Former Elemod?

Mien was a little surprised, "Is that old gentleman also in Lydney?"

Hearing this, the young man nodded, "Yes." ”

After knowing what he wanted to know, Mien was silent for a while, and glanced at Reut hidden behind the mask, "That's all for today, and I have one thing to tell you." ”

Hearing Mien's voice, several people all turned their eyes to it.

"After a while, I will reorganize the Holy See, and now that there are major changes in the South, it is time for the Inquisition to be established. ”

After that, he looked at the brown-robed young man, and continued, "Please go back and tell Astyk not to leave Lidney during this time, and if there is a religious council, I hope he will be there too." ”

Not only the Inquisition, but also Mien pondered whether an ascetic should be established to bring the old men into the system of the Holy See.

However, this point still needs to be discussed with the Astian class.

If things can go in the direction you envisioned, then the Holy Order, the Inquisition, and the Ascetic will be divided among the three powers in the Holy See.

And Mien will also abolish the title of archbishop and change it to a cardinal, sharing the power of the Pope.

It is also necessary to form religious councils and involve the bishops of those regions in the governance of the Church.

Today's Church of the Holy Light is no longer what it was when it left, and it alone wants to rule such a powerful Holy See.

I'm afraid that working 24 hours a day, exhausted Mien will also have endless affairs to deal with.

Appropriately decentralizing some power will not only ease oneself, but also invisibly create a centripetal force towards the Holy See for many clergy.

Thus binding them firmly to the Holy See.

Instead of being like now, the archbishops of the regions were simply the emperors of their dioceses! The bishops of the regions under them were all puppets with no real power and were manipulated by others.

In addition, the Holy Knights are outside the Holy See, without real power and binding force, and at the same time, they hold too powerful force in their hands, and even Mien is already thinking that if it weren't for Samiyah leading this fierce army, maybe it would have evolved into a warlord force long ago!

Continuing like this, not to mention the pressure exerted by the royal family and the ruling class in the north, structural problems within the church alone would be enough to make this behemoth self-destructive!

After arranging these things, she originally wanted to go north to meet Samier and Hilda, but now it seems that it will be postponed for a few days.

And before that, he may have to meet Nicole I.

Let everyone leave and go about their own business, standing outside the door, Mien looked at Lucia's back, and said lightly, "Holy Archbishop, go to the study with me, there are some things I need to talk to you about alone." ”
