Chapter 276 The show begins
The second prince narrated in a heavy tone, while the old bishop stared at him, his cloudy old eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's heart, trying to distinguish whether the sadness and helplessness of the second prince was true or false.
Although the deal between the two princes and the Holy Religion has been approved by the Pope. However, the old bishop still wanted to confirm with his own eyes that this was the only thing he could do for the Holy Religion in his old age.
"If only I had sunk into the sea alone, that would have been it. But I can't watch the Violet royal family that gave birth to me sink in. Saying that, the second prince turned to look at the old bishop: "The change of regime is the most cruel and bloody turmoil in the world, in which there is no mercy or sympathy, there is only ruthless killing and persecution to the roots. ”
"Looking through the history books, after the successive dynasties, none of the failed royal families has continued to the present, no matter how brilliant and powerful the royal family is, the glory is incredible, once the throne is lost, all of them will disappear in the long river of history, no one is an exception. ”
"I don't want the same to be true of the Violet Royalty. In the end, the second prince said sincerely.
"Therefore, on the condition of the throne, you offered to exchange with the religion. After you ascend to the throne, you will gradually hand over all your power to the Holy Church, which will ensure the safety and prosperity of the Violet family. The old bishop got up tremblingly and walked up to the second prince.
"You have a compassionate and kind heart, Your Highness. There are few people in this world who can resist the temptation of such power as the Lord of a nation, and the happiness of your family is at your heart, and God will bless you. He drew a cross on his chest and blessed him.
"Is it merciful and kind?", the second prince shook his head self-deprecatingly, "That's a legendary saint, how can it be a person like me, who has lived in the palace since I was a child, and is used to seeing intrigues and all kinds of dirty and filthy things. ”
"If I were really benevolent, I would not have stood idly by and watched the famine a few days ago, when so many people starved to death, and even planned how to use this famine to fight my brother's power. ”
"I'm just a selfish person making decisions that I think are in my own interest. To tell you the truth, I chose the Holy Religion because there is still a difference between the Holy Religion and the nobility. ”
"At least you are truly fearful and faithful to the gods, so you will not break the oath you have made in the name of the gods. And those nobles are the real bloodless, bloodless, bloodless, faithless, and heartless people. I never thought of cooperating with them, and cooperating with them would really be a game of tigers, stupid to the point that they would use all kinds of despicable and shameless methods to devour the Grievous family and exterminate them all. ”
"Wise judgment!", the old bishop exclaimed, "This city of Divine Glory is full of unfaithful and unrighteous people, all of whom are only interested in pleasure and power. And who better to trust than this religion?"
"This is also the reason why the religion wants to establish the kingdom of God on earth. We want to build a kingdom in which everyone has reverence and faith in their hearts, so that they can keep their hearts. Under the guidance of the gods, the darkness and squalor inherent in human nature are abandoned, there is no bloody killing, there is no endless pleasure, there is no lie and threat, there is no selfishness and power struggle, there is only people's peace and contentment. ”
"People do their duty in their inherent positions and do their jobs with peace of mind. Go to church regularly and regularly to repent of your sins during this time, to restrain your behavior with holy scriptures, and to cleanse your soul with prayer. ”
"Only such an earthly kingdom of God is the ideal land of human dreams, and it is the heavenly mountain on earth as described in the legend. ”
"Back then, the Hero King had the opportunity to cooperate with the Sect to build such an ideal kingdom, but unfortunately, for various reasons, or because he was indulging in his own desires, he missed the opportunity and made all mankind suffer in vain for so many years. ”
From this point of view, he is worthy of merit, or even merit. The old bishop said a lot of things, perhaps because it involved the theology that he had studied all his life, and he talked endlessly, until he saw the slightly surprised expression of the second prince, he stopped.
"Haha, the old man knows that my opinion about the hero king is contrary to the general opinion of people in the world. Your Highness just listens to it, and just treats it as an old fellow's nonsense. ”
The second prince smiled bitterly, "Xu is really old and confused, how can people really live their lives according to their duties." If there is such a life, I don't want it. ”
"What is the taste of this man living for the rest of his life? Do you really want to be like this old man, locked in a room and poor for the rest of his life?"
"No wonder there are still so many forces against the Holy Sect in secret, the old man who was burned to death in front of the Holy Radiance Cathedral, and the end of the day that he kept saying before he died, could it be the earthly kingdom of God that this Holy Sect wants to establish?", he silently muttered in his heart.
He thought about a brief that his secret subordinates had secretly presented to him a few days ago, and the content of it was actually to promote the legend of the end of the world.
This is undoubtedly in conflict with the teachings of the Holy Sect, and the second prince thought about it, but still did not inform the Holy Sect of this news, but ordered this information to be dealt with, and did not leak a single rumor.
"It's an idle move, but maybe in the future, I can be a general. ", he thought to himself.
In order to deal with this old bishop, the second prince can be said to have worked hard and broke out in a cold sweat. This conversation had just led him to discover a way to deal with Bishop Miranda, and he deliberately ripped the conversation to a theological aspect.
The old bishop really hit the trick and began to talk about the various meanings in the holy scriptures, and the second prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a little noisy, but it was better than the heart beating just now.
In this way, the two chatted with each other, and just when the second prince was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the window. He looked over and saw that the crowd in the square was half like a broken wave, crowded to separate on both sides.
"Come on, come on!", many shouted loudly, as if the troupe always used a loud voice to announce the protagonist before the opening.
The second prince knew that it was the two mages who had arrived, and on the side where the bureaucrats and nobles parked, several judges in black robes slowly walked to the center of the square, followed by several priests in divine robes.
Now that the protagonists have officially arrived, the show is about to begin!
