Northwest Parish, Golden City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Moran fled, although there was a period of civil strife here, Bishop Moganlin, who was originally a popular person around Moran, suppressed the opposition in various places with thunderous means, plus more than 10,000 'cathars', it can be said that Morganlin has become the largest warlord in the northwest region!

Because of the attitude of the Holy See not asking, those local nobles who were inclined to be loyal to the royal family withdrew from there early, leaving behind all the local armed forces who wanted to go out independently!

At this time, the entire northwest region seems to have ********* chaos, high taxes, and the aftermath of fanatical beliefs, and the bottom society is in deep turmoil.

Every day, the rich and unbelievers are inexplicably branded as 'heretics' and burned at the stake, and their property and family are divided up in the future!

...

At night, the howling north wind whines outside the window.

Meen looked down at the report that had just been transmitted by Reut in his hand, his face expressionless.

If before that the Northwest diocese was like a pot of hot oil that had already boiled, then its own return was like pouring a glass of cold water on it!

The situation has deteriorated dramatically after Moran fled for more than half a month!

That Morganlin Bishop has killed all the clergy who did not want to be independent, and has even proclaimed himself the first pope of the 'Holy Bishop'!

It seems that these people are determined to go out independently.

Although a lot of people were sacrificed, Minn was waiting for this moment, because the Black Cavalry had been covering his eyeliner all over the north before, so it only took less than half a month for Reut to sort out a list of suppression/anti-rebellion.

This list includes the current Archbishop of Sunnah, Theodore!

The subsequent annex lists in detail the charges of all the people on the list!

Huge embezzlement...****** blasphemy... Participation in the Schismism of the Holy See ... All are felonies!

Mien slowly read the list of hundreds of names, crossed out Theodore's name with a pen, and then handed it to Lucia, who was standing in front of the table with her head down.

"Spread the news of the northwest secretly, and it is best to let everyone know the current situation over there, and in a week the Black Cavalry will assist you in carrying out secret arrests, and all those who resist will be killed on the spot. ”

Apparently having worked with the Black Cavalry for some time, Lucia was wearing a black robe, the opposite of Reut, her entire face hidden under a blood-red mask emblazoned with a black cross.

The cold, drumming power of death escaped into the air with Meen's voice.

Taking the list with both hands, Lucia said in a deep voice, "I see." ”

"How's your preparation for the 'Verdict'?"

"In addition to the ordinary clergy, the 'Blood Cross' I have begun to search for vagrants no more than fourteen years old, from the Black Hand Brotherhood, who will be trained by the best assassins. ”

Mien refilled his teacup with hot tea and said lightly, "Very well, now go do what you have to do." ”

As for the 'Blood Cross' secretly established within the 'Inquisition', only a few people in the entire Holy See know about it.

After dealing with the Northwest Incident, most of the Black Cavalry's energy will be invested in the South, and most of the intelligence agencies left in the North will gradually be handed over to the 'Inquisition', but the problem of vicious corruption will certainly not disappear completely because of a major purge, and there are many things that Meen does not want to make everyone known, especially about the scandal within the Holy See.

And the 'Blood Cross' will be a violent organization dedicated to assassination and secret arrests within the Holy See!

As for why he didn't kill Theodore, it was entirely because Meen had always been optimistic about that fat man's ability and political skills, and sometimes there were some unnecessary flaws, and Meen could completely ignore them.

Leaning back in his chair, Mien leisurely drank a mellow black tea, while thinking about whether the archbishops of the major dioceses should implement a rotation system in the future to prevent the recurrence of the Northwest incident.

Speaking of which, it had been more than half a month since that long-eared man had gone deep into the north, could there be anything there that could delay him?

It's just that if he knew that King Elon was hiding his identity at this time, accompanying a group of adventurers to hang out in the Northland Ice Fields, what would he think?

...

The synod continued to be held in a hurry, under the auspices of several archbishops.

It's just that today's venue was very restless at the beginning.

"Have you heard? Bishop Morganlin has openly killed twenty-six clergy and proclaimed himself the first pope of the 'Holy Bishops'!

"Your Excellency the Pope is busy, you must have forgotten about those clowns, hmph, in a few days, when the Holy Knights enter, I don't believe they can go out on their own under the nose of the Pope!"

"But how did I hear that Bishop Morganlin has gathered a group of more than 10,000 Guardian Legions! The Pope's delay must be due to some scruples, otherwise you see, it's been three days, the Holy Knights are still stationed in Lidney, and the Guardian Knights have not received an edict, and it seems that the Pope is ready to leave the northwest alone. ”

The black-clothed cardinal who spoke was full of sadness, and now this matter is in an uproar in the whole city, and even in the whole north, it can be said that this is the biggest scandal that the Holy See has spread to the outside world for so many years!

This is a major blow to the secular authority of the Holy See!

If they don't do something about it, I'm afraid that the royal family and the nobles who oppose the Holy See will sit aside and laugh at their incompetence and weakness!

But to everyone's surprise, the Pope has not said anything about it so far.

That attitude of not daring to speak is simply declaring to the outside world that the Holy See has adopted a tacit attitude towards the current situation in the northwest!

Yesterday afternoon, thousands of faithful surrounded the entire Lidney Cathedral, asking His Holiness the Pope for permission to wage a holy war to the north-west!

Many people even came with weapons and equipment, and the battle of beliefs was sometimes more bloody and cruel than war!

But to everyone's disappointment, they waited for a whole day and a night, and they didn't see the adult show up from beginning to end.

As the owner of Lidney, the royal family of Berland got the news as soon as possible, although Nicole Berland had always paid attention to the northwest region before, but this time all kinds of rumors were simply overwhelming!

After the coronation of the Pope, Nicole, who had already seen the fanatical faith of the faithful, felt that the adult could really calm down.

There was a lot of commotion outside, but he didn't say a word.

Unlike the other nobles who waited to see the joke, the Berans, who knew Mien's methods, were thinking at this time, did the man have other intentions when he deliberately spread the news?
