In the months following the events at the Papal Palace, there has been an eerie atmosphere in the Holy City of the Holy See.

Everyone was in a state of panic, fearing that bad luck would befall them all at once.

Even the venerable Archbishop Pierce has been bewitched and depraved by evil, how powerful is this evil?

"Listen, Ambrose. ”

On this day, a young Templar found his best friend, his expression was painful, and the first words he said to his best friend almost frightened him into cardiac arrest: "My dear friend, I can't take it anymore, the Holy See is no longer the Holy See it used to be, he has been tainted by darkness." ”

"Reed, what are you talking nonsense?!" Ambrose was startled, covering his mouth for a moment, and then carefully slammed the door shut.

Then he lowered his voice with a serious expression and said, "We have everything to my god, Reed, have you shaken your faith?

"I am finally my God, but I am not loyal to the Pope, he is not worthy to sit in that chair, and he is not worthy to hold the artifact of authority left by my God in the world, he is not worthy to be our Pope, he is a devil. Reed clenched his fists and looked sad.

In addition to him, many members of the Knights Templar had expressed doubts about His Holiness the Pope's actions.

Because Archbishop Pierce has been facing the congregation with a very kind and benevolent image for so many years, and there are no negative rumors.

He has always been the spiritual leader of a part of the faithful, and he is even more popular than the Pope.

So when he was killed and labeled depraved, countless believers and the lower clergy of the Holy See wavered in their faith.

The words of the Papal Palace alone do not convince them.

And the Inquisition has recently been arresting those who spread unfavorable remarks about the Pope, which has angered some of the knights and priests of the Holy See.

"What do you want to do?"

Ambrose was silent for a while, then came to the door again to carefully observe the outside for a while, and then came back and asked solemnly.

"I'm leaving this city, it's not the holy city of my heart anymore. He had lived here for twenty years.

"Then you have to hurry up, I got the news, soon the Holy City will be closed. ”

With a sigh, Ambrose knew that he could no longer persuade his best friend, so he could only silently send his blessings.

"Won't you come with me?"

Reed's eyes struggled, and he asked unwillingly: "I know that your concept is also different from those big shots, and the two of us have traveled all over this continent together to find a true earthly kingdom of God." ”

"Sorry my friend, I have my own family. Ambrose smiled bitterly, and he was desperate to leave the city, because he always felt that something bad was going to happen in the holy city.

But he's not like Reed, who is an orphan and has parents of his own.

"Good luck, my friend. When Reed heard this, he knew he couldn't persuade his friends to pursue the faith as he did.

I can only leave my most sincere wishes.

"Good luck, Reed. ”

Ambrose hugged him, and then took out a long sword from his room: "This was given to me by Archbishop Pierce himself three years ago, may the will of the Archbishop accompany you." ”

Hearing this, Reed solemnly took the sword, and then said, "You will see that day, I will rebuild the Holy See's earthly kingdom in another corner of the continent, a true earthly holy land." ”

After saying that, he pulled on his hood and left without looking back at the night.

On the other side, in the Papal Palace of the Holy See.

Joyce, the head of the Holy Knights, the youngest genius of the Holy See, and a disciple of the Pope, stood solemnly at the bottom of the steps.

He said in a flat tone and with a blank face: "Your Majesty, do you need to suspend your previous actions, the frequent dispatches of the Inquisition have caused a large number of low-level clergy to be uneasy. ”

He said it a little lightly, not only because it has caused unease, but the current situation of the Holy See can be described as turbulent.

The two factions pitted each other against each other, with the Pope taking the initiative and the other clinging to Archbishop Pierce's death.

Asking the Pope to hand over evidence that Archbishop Pierce was seduced by evil, the Pope certainly could not show it.

So a large number of clergy, like Reed, left in anger.

If this continues, the Holy See will face a great crisis.

"My child, you see only the bad side, but not the good side. ”

The Pope knelt in front of the statue, and the vicissitudes of magnetic voice sounded: "The unqualified materials of the foundation will affect the safety of a high-rise building, and we are now eliminating those unqualified foundation materials to prepare for the construction of a palace in the future." ”

"But if this continues, the materials are running out of materials. Joyce replied calmly.

"Then I will have to be this sinner, even if it is infamous in history, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

The Pope got up slowly, revealing an old face, his eyes were compassionate, and his expression was sad: "God, you will forgive my sins, the Titans are difficult to resist, everything I do is for the continuation of mankind." ”

"Praise be to you, Your Selfless Pope. ”

Joyce got down on one knee, his right hand on his chest, his eyes frenzied.

He is the most faithful servant of the Pope, he does not believe in the gods, the Pope is his faith.

"Selfless, yes, everything I do is for the sake of humanity, even if it is at the expense of my soul and body, I insist on this. ”

The Holy See Pope once again looked at the statue of Vera, the god of the sun and light, behind him: "You will surely forgive my sins, right?"

After saying that, kneel down again, silently repent, and silently pray.

Joyce took one last deep look at the Pope's back, his eyes flashed with determination, and he got up and left the Papal Palace.

He's going to get rid of all the people who are getting in the way of the pope's plan.

On the other side, the clergy and knights who had left the Holy See converged on the steppes in the eastern part of the continent.

He also slightly modified the sun ornament on his body, which symbolized Vera, and changed it to a shield with a sun pattern painted on it.

Declared a formal separation from the Holy See and established a new Cult of the Sun God, dedicated to changing the mistakes made by the Holy See over the years.

The Templar, Reed, carried only a sword, a package, and a simple linen robe, and set out on his own path to salvation like an ascetic.
