Chapter 310: Behind the Council
"Dawn ......" Locke turned to look at the owner of the Babel estate with a hint of a smile on his lips. As a powerful man of antiquity, he certainly knew the value of the information in his hands, but even this could not change the current predicament of the Celtic Christ. Both the Holy See and the Druids had their own traditional ways of practice, which were not only a means of practice, but also included things such as faith as the cornerstone of religion. Therefore, the more practical this new method of cultivation is, the more it will cause them to reject and clean up. As for the mercenary nobles, they were cold, but Locke had no intention of cooperating with the gods of Danu again.
"I will carve out a separate place in the manor for you to live in, and when everything is settled, we will discuss more cooperation content!" Dawn made her promise without hesitation, although the Babel Manor is still small, but because it is at the intersection of various forces, it has the capital to gain a foothold for a short time.
"You won't regret your decision today!" Locke solemnly promised. He was originally a disciple of Fetan, and once the war began, he would definitely return to the Druids. But what reassured him the most were these disciples, a small organization that favored the relationship between Christianity and Druidism, which had long since lost its meaning and value. I wanted to take this opportunity to match them to join the Holy See, but now they can only rely on the existence of Dawn.
"As long as they make the manor their home, the manor will give back to them with the same enthusiasm!" Dawn also made her own promise, this is a good group of spell researchers and trainers, and the spells they have in their hands are also of high practical value. But as for what role to play in the manor next, it still needs to be considered in the long term after the fairy remnants join.
After Xiang Xiang and Hansel left, Locke talked to Dawn for a long time. With the current potential of the manor, it is impossible to accommodate several villages at the same time, so the main body of Celtic Christ is still in the mountains of northern Scotland, at least until the Last Judgment.
"Senpai, when are you going to return to the Druid Order?" asked Dawn in a low voice.
"If it weren't for the changes in your manor, I would have been on my way back by now. But not the Oak Council, but the teacher. Locke shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Although we were the first batch of druids to preach, we did not play our due role because of the constraints of the Danu gods. The elders of the Oak Council are late-stage newcomers, and I have nothing to do with them. ”
Dawn nodded thoughtfully, the Druids of the modern world, the Council of the Oaks, were re-established in 1717 by the Druid High Priests William Stockley and John Tolan. The ancient Druidic lineage was devastated by the Roman Christian Church around the first century AD, and its former glory is long gone. As for how much the newly established Oak Council of Religious Oaks had a substantial connection to antiquity, Dawn knew nothing about it.
"I've had some encounters with them, and the Oak Council is not inferior to Catholicism in terms of bureaucracy, but its strength and heritage are still good!" added Dawn, thinking of the confrontation between the Parliament and the Vatican in the Black Forest, and knew that the Parliament was no worse than the Holy See in terms of local strength.
"But this new sect is very foreign to me, and I have heard that they have only been around for about four hundred years!" Locke was a little dazed.
"The year 1717 was only the time when the secular world came out in public, and in fact they had always existed!" Dawn nodded, "After the Great Voyage began, the Catholic belief system began to collapse, and many of the ancient hidden schools were revitalized. The Druids are one of the most active, and they are indeed gaining momentum. ”
"I heard that Lorraine used to be their Speaker of the North?"
"Yes, the Council of Oaks is nominally presided over by the High Priest, but the actual power is in the hands of the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders is made up of twelve Druid priests, four of whom are also Chairmen of the Quartet. The territory under the jurisdiction of the North Council Speaker is also the highest status among them because it is closer to the origin of the druids!" "After all, Dawn had been a registered disciple of Lorraine for a while, and she had some understanding of him.
"In other words, Lorraine had a high status in the Oak Council at the time?"
"To put it mildly, it can influence the actual policy formulation of the Oak Council. But it's not his word, otherwise he wouldn't have had to go to great lengths to create an image of Ian on the Isle of Man. I've heard that he used Ian's identity as a cover to steal a lot of resources belonging to the council!"
"Then this sect probably doesn't have too much to do with the teacher, and Lorraine is the most restless of our senior brothers. He was full of ambition in his youth, and these mentalities also restricted his strength. A teacher would never leave his sect to such a man!" said Locke with certainty.
"Not necessarily, after all, the druids suffered a lot in the Middle Ages. You have all made many efforts, but in the end you have not changed the nature of the occupation by Christianity. "As far as I know, you, as the steward of Angus, came forward to establish the Celtic Christ, but in the end you were hunted down by the Catholic Church. Merlin, as Ruger's butler, stepped in to support King Arthur, but was eventually defeated in the civil war as well. It can be said that one curve cooperates and one confrontation, and all your attempts have not improved the living conditions of the Druids. ”
"You mean to say?"
"Compared to your other brothers, Lorraine is probably the least morally bound of them. But it was precisely because of this that he was able to keep the shattered Druidism alive during that dark age. However, Venerable Master is indeed very wary of him, so his right to speak in the council is greatly restricted!" Dawn saw that Locke's expression was a little gloomy, but he did not change his topic.
"Moreover, I have received the oak essence of Venerable Fetan from Lorraine, which must be his blood. It is said that this was used by Lord Fetan to improve the strength of the sect's personnel!" Dawn continued, adding, "So, behind this emerging sect must be your teacher. ”
"But the concept of this sect is too far from the ancients, and Lorraine's intervention ......" Locke hesitated for a moment, "No, I need to rush back to the teacher as soon as possible." Lorraine only has interests in his eyes, and with his temperament, he will definitely tie the council to the chariot of the old gods, and the teacher's hard work will be completely ruined!"
Regarding Lorraine's capture by the Sea Temple, Dawn still listened to Kevin's disclosure. He didn't expect that it was this old druid who ran away in despair and pushed his manor to the forefront. Now it seems that this treacherous and cunning "teacher" will continue to stir up greater storms in Mishima.
