There was a deathly silence in the entire tower, and the other bishops were silent for a long time, as if they were reminiscing about the series of questions that the Bishop of Lisbon had just asked.

The firewood in the stove was still "crackling", finally bringing a little life to the silence. The waiters held their breath in this solemn atmosphere, and if it weren't for the involuntary beating of their hearts, they would have wanted to stop the sound of their heartbeats.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" that made waves like throwing a boulder into a calm pond. One of the bishops slammed, slammed his hand on the table.

"This can't work, of course this can't be, how can this work!", he said three times in a row, and finally said as if he couldn't get enough of it: "This is simply lawlessness, not taking the Holy Sect in their eyes, who allowed them to do this?"

His words are like the beating of a drum in a war, and the ringing of a wood in a storytelling. The whole tower immediately seemed to come to life and became lively again, as if the world of black and white was injected with color, and it came alive again. Several bishops immediately began to talk about it, as if they were afraid that the others would not know their opposition.

Indeed, the holy commandments and holy scriptures are the foundation of the Holy Religion, and as believers, we should respectfully follow them and carry them out word for word. If even we add or subtract from the commandments and the words of the holy scriptures, what difference is there between us and the infidels who are imprisoned in the Inquisition?"

"Everyone is equal, the gods are above, and there will always be favor and love for some mortals, otherwise, why are some people born with the ability to sense and use the power of the elements, while others cannot?"

The bishops blushed and splattered their narration of their own rejection of the idea that all men are equal. Excitedly, they didn't come back anymore, and they looked like they were holding the wisdom bead just now. Aside from the lack of slang in their discourse, they look no different from the bargaining aunts in the vegetable market.

Lisbon saw that everyone was so vehemently opposed. He also smiled and nodded, "It seems that everyone agrees." Then we should take action as soon as possible, just like a plague, once the source is not controlled, then the entire holy religion will be polluted and even sick. ”

"Of course, we can't beat them to death with a stick. I propose that the ascetics, led by Mother Melissa, who preach the idea of equality for all men, be punished in a black prison. Until they mend their lives and never speak of this philosophy again. ”

"If you are still stubborn, then you will be expelled from the Sect, expelled from the Holy Sect, and you will never join again!"

As soon as the Patriarch of Lisbon made his suggestion, the bishops immediately responded: "With the power of thunder and the heart of mercy, this decision is very good. ”

"Seconding: Preaching among the common people to illustrate the error of the idea that all people are equal, and to turn the idea of everyone around. ”

"Agreed. ”

"Agreed. ”

After all seven people present agreed to it, this resolution was recorded on the spot, and it will be implemented immediately from tomorrow, except for His Majesty the Pope, who is troubled, can veto it, this is the supreme resolution within the Holy Church.

"After removing the restless elements within the Holy Sect, we can devote all our energy to dealing with the nobles, do you have any opinions on this alliance against the Holy Sect?"

After reaching agreement, the meeting moved on to the next topic.

"If we want to know how to deal with them, we need to know what the hell these nobles are up to?"

"Yes, it's the hijacking of goods, it's the food shortage turmoil, these nobles are desperately cutting down on these necessities in Shenghui City, what is their purpose?"

"Do they really want to flood all these refugees into the Sanctuary and then count on them to empty the Holy Cult's storage?" said one of the bishops, with some uncertainty.

"If that's the case, then they're shooting themselves in the foot. Anyway, the church has a lot of reserves, so if we just take out some of it for large-scale disaster relief, this can win the hearts of the people on a large scale, wouldn't those nobles help us?"

Several bishops nodded their heads, thinking that this response was also a good response.

"Guys, if we do, then we will fall into the trap of those nobles!", said the Bishop of Lisbon, shaking his head and smiling wryly.

Facing the skeptical target of the bishops, the Bishop of Lisbon said calmly: "These nobles are extremely cunning this time, not to mention you, I couldn't see it at first, so I thought about it for a long time. Until one day when I reported to His Majesty the Pope, he saw it at a glance. ”

"This kind of wisdom is beyond our reach. ", he said with a little emotion.

"You should still remember that just two years ago, there was a large-scale locust plague in the realm of Shenghui, and there was no harvest for thousands of miles, and at that time, the city of Shenghui was also in a crisis of food shortage, just like now. ”

"At that time, the grain merchants in Shenghui City, especially those nobles with large-scale grain reserves, hoarded one by one, and the price of grain was sky-high. There were even many riots in Shenghui City that time, but fortunately, the city guards suppressed it effectively, so it did not cause a big chaos. ”

"During that food crisis, our Holy Sect did not provide large-scale relief because we had a tacit understanding with these nobles and had transactions before. While propagating that there was not much food in the Dao Sanctuary, we organized food from all over the world to be transported into the Holy Radiance City for relief. We even pretended to buy food from these nobles at high prices and distribute it to the victims. ”

"It was the food crisis two years ago that made the prestige of the Holy Religion in the hearts of the common people skyrocket, and the fanatics who believed in the Holy Religion also grew a lot. ", said the Patriarch of Lisbon with recollections.

"That's right, using the locust plague to expand the influence of the Holy Religion is a countermeasure that we are discussing together. The bishops nodded in response.

"And the response to previous disasters has always been like this, the Holy Church has carried out limited disaster relief, and at the same time bought people's hearts. If we open a position for relief every time we encounter a famine year, I am afraid that we will not be able to save such a rich fortune now. ”

"Indeed, this is the duty of the royal family, why do you want us to let blood and save people?"

"The locust plague was extremely serious, and the city of Shenghui was full of hunger, and many human tragedies were staged. It was precisely because of the shadow of two years ago that the ordinary people in Shenghui City were so frightened when they heard that there was a possibility of running out of food this time. ", continued the Patriarch of Lisbon.

"Let's ask, if the Holy Sect is providing large-scale disaster relief this time, a question arises: why didn't the Holy Sect take out its inventory for disaster relief last time, wouldn't the Holy Sect sit back and watch the disaster situation, cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

"Then in the hearts of the common people, we have worked hard to attain the good image that we have built up for many years, and we will not be directly ruined?"
