Chapter 258: The Cross

"You mean...... They have the support of the royal family, which is why they are so fearless?", Donovan said with a slight tremor in his voice. If this is the case, it means that the royal family is determined to go to war with the Holy Cult, and Donovan can't believe what the outcome will be.

However, he sensed that something was wrong, "If the Great Emperor is really determined to wage war against our Holy Sect, why didn't he save those nobles who were raided by us before?" As the saying goes, rabbits die and foxes hurt things, and his actions really chilled the hearts of all nobles. โ€

"Is it just to confuse us, so as to achieve the effect of taking them by surprise?"

Lisbon pastor rests his right hand on the desk, and his fingers keep tapping on the tabletop, showing that he is not at peace at this time.

He shook his head, "Since it was a surprise, then why did he let these nobles show such a rumor, so that we could see the flaws?"

"Donovan, do you remember the unicorn family in the South?"

"How could it be forgotten, just when everyone didn't expect it. The Eastern Legion of the Royal Family raided the southern border in the name of Lalian, and combined with the frontal attack of the Southern Legion, it destroyed the long-established and powerful unicorn family in a very short time, and reclaimed the southern border that had actually split off into the kingdom again. Donovan replied respectfully, already knowing the meaning of the Lisbon Pastor's question.

"That's right, that's the real surprise. Stillness is like lying on a rock, without the slightest sound, moving like swift thunder, attacking with a momentum that cannot be concealed, this is the style of Grievous the Great when he goes to war, and he will definitely not do such a stupid thing as startling the snake. ", said the Lisbon pastor.

"Then you mean ......", Donovan was a little confused, this is not that and it is not, then these local nobles have eaten the courage of bears and leopards, and dare to challenge the Holy Religion so unknowingly.

"In any case, the blasphemy of these local nobles must not be tolerated, and the Holy Religion must take corresponding countermeasures. "Donovan, you will send these notes to the privy councilors later, the matter is very important, and it is necessary to convene another council of the Tower." โ€

With Donovan gone, the Lisbon pastor opened the paper and read it carefully. His fingers kept rubbing the letter paper, and he said with a thoughtful expression, "Finally...... Are you going to get started?"

He let out a long sigh, like a tired traveler who had been traveling for a long time and finally saw a soft and comfortable bed, and that sigh contained an indescribable sense of relief and satisfaction.

He leaned back slightly in his chair, and suddenly there was a sense of leisure, even laziness.

Lisbon Pastor himself was taken aback by this feeling, "Lazy?" he smiled self-deprecatingly, how could he have felt this way for so many years, and he was really exhausted and powerless until now.

He gently removed the Holy Cross he was wearing, and carefully examined his alter self reflected in the silver-plated surface. What I saw was a vague, gray-haired strange old man, who could barely even recognize himself.

He slowly touched his weed-like dry head, and then stroked all the way down to the wrinkles on his face, which were not traces left by the years, but a symbol of the fading light of one's life.

"Is this all that has been done in exchange for so many years?", Pastor Lisbon looked at the Holy Cross in his hand, which symbolizes the original sin that is born in man, and the love and forgiveness of the gods for mankind.

"If you repent sincerely, can you really wash away all the sins of a person?", he thought to himself, stroking the holy cross.

He stared at the statue on the cross for a long time, as if he wanted to recognize the detailed appearance of the statue, nose, mouth, etc., but unfortunately the idol used an abstract expression, and could only see a general human form, and the rest was very vague.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Holy Religion, those pioneers must have had a headache when they painted the statues of the gods, how could the faces of the gods be peeped at by ordinary people, so the statues left behind were always so blurred.

The Lisbon Pastor remembered a question he used to think about as a child: "If it is a god, why is it in the form of a man, why is it not in the form of a beast, a plant, or a foreign race?"

And when he was beaten for three days for asking this question, Lisbon never revealed his question to anyone else.

There is one thing he did not lie to Donovan, his childhood was really spent in an orphanage.

"If there were gods, I am afraid they would not forgive me. The Lisbon pastor wore the cross carefully around his neck.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, shattering his thoughts. The Lisbon Pastor straightened his back for a moment, and returned to his usual solemn and old-fashioned appearance, and the relaxation he had just now was completely gone.

It's like a conditioned reflex, and it's like a physiological instinct like eating and drinking.

"Come in. Like the accuracy of a thousand trainings, he spoke these two words in a low and powerful voice, with a sense of elusive mystery and strong command and power.

In front of the others, he was the Holy Priest named Lisbon, not the man whose name was Lisbon.
