Chapter 733: Former Inquisitor
Edward racked his brains and told Leliana about the dangers of his appointment as a saint, until he came to the judgment hall and sat down for breakfast, while Edward was still talking. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But Leliana was unmoved, and asked Kassandra to join in the persuasion: "Inquisitor, I have passed on the will of the former Sage Gastania, and most of the members of the church support this decision, even those priests who did not join the inquisition have acquiesced, and only a few diehards are still insisting. ”
"This is a decision of the Church, and if you don't accept it, you will disappoint many of the Church, especially the Templars and the Ring of Mages, which are likely to be at odds again. ”
"So, for the sake of peace, you'd better agree. ”
"For peace!" Kassandra's words almost had a decisive effect, and Edward could only agree with a wry smile.
"By the way, in addition to the two of you, do the Sage's assistants have the Sage's brain, the Sage's eyes, the Sage's mouth, and so on?"
"Do you want to stay out of it entirely?" Varik snorted and laughed, "I've never seen anyone who dislikes the throne of the Sage so much, it can be a throne that represents supreme power and glory." ”
"If you don't like it, give it to me, Inquisitor. Vivien half-jokingly said, "I'm also a member of the Mage's Ring, and I have the right to run for election. ”
"This is the resolution of the former Sage Gastania and most believers, not a market sale. Kassandra looked at Vivien and retorted.
Vivien shrugged helplessly in apologies. She also knew that Edward was there, and that she, Kassandra, and Leliana could barely compete with Edward, and that even if both supported him.
"Won't Oles and Ferredon object?" Iron Bull said vaguely as he bit a pig's trotter, "they wouldn't want to see Edward inaugurated as a saint, and in this way, the inquisition would become a church, and no matter what country it was, it would have no right to demand the dissolution of the church." From now on, they will always have a sword called the Church of Andist hanging over their heads. ”
"Without oversight, the right is highly vulnerable to corruption. Blackwall said, "The existence of the Andist Church is the overseer of their great power, otherwise they would fall as easily as the Grey Watcher." ”
"And who's going to oversee the church?" asked Serra, leaning on one foot in her chair.
When they heard this, they all looked at Edward.
"Don't look at me like that, can I say that it will be the Holy Light who oversees the Church?" Edward said as he poured a glass of wine into his mouth, wiping his mouth, "Indeed, unchecked power is indeed prone to corruption, so the practice in many countries is to set up a council with oversight on the head of the leader. ”
"The Inspectorate? Vivien, who was very handy with power and politics, said, "Like the Council of Pioneers of Oles, it can only be symbolic, and the existence of such a council will not limit the corruption of power, but will cause chaos." ”
"But what if there are representatives of the common people in the council?" Edward said, glancing at Vivien, "The main task of the Sage Council is to help the Sage handle affairs, and it also has the right to veto the Sage's resolution. The council had twelve seats, seven of which had to be representatives of the plebeians, chosen by the commoners of the areas under the patronage of the Church, who could not be nobles, and who had to be guaranteed to have elves and dwarves among them. ”
Edward directly took the method of Free City and used it, and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, especially Serra, who hated nobles very much, nodded again and again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's wait for the specific matters of the Sage Council to wait for the election of the Sage. Edward shook his head irritably, stopping several people from asking.
"Reliana, is there any news of the dragon?"
"There are a lot of them. Reliana was very concerned about this matter, and she had already reported it from the Holy Land of the Movie World just a day ago, "At present, my people have found traces of dragons in Hinterland, Creswood, Western Fortress, Sublime Plains, Emerald Necropolis, Lion's Grip, and other places. ”
"Which one is the most powerful?" Edward asked.
Reliana didn't answer, but looked at Kassandra.
"The most powerful is undoubtedly the ice dragon of the Frostridge Basin. "I haven't seen it in person, though, but based on our investigations, it's likely that the dragon is carrying the spirit of a Yava spirit, and that the matter is related to the deeds of the previous Inquisitor." ”
"Former Inquisitor?" Edward said with interest, "As far as I know, the Inquisition has been canceled for a long time, how many years ago was the former Inquisitor?"
"Eight hundred years ago. "I have here a report from Professor Bram Kenrik of Olais University, who with Kassandra's team explored the entire Frostridge Basin and used the clues left by the former Inquisitor Ameridan, to unseal the frozen fortress of the Yava. ”
As he spoke, Josephine tore a page from the notebook that he almost never left and handed it to Edward, "Stonebear Castle has promised us to participate in the attack on the Frozen Fortress, and if you are interested, you can join Kassandra in the battle. ”
Edward glanced at the report and said with a smile: "Interesting, an ice dragon that is likely to carry the spirit of the gods? The prey of the former Inquisitor? Judging from the report, the people of Stone Bear Castle seem to have the ability to summon spirits, how did they manage to summon spirits without going through the rift?"
"I don't know much about spells, so you'll have to ask Vivien and Dorian, the area where me, Vivien, Dorien, and Sierra explored last time. Kassandra said.
"I didn't pay much attention to it. Vivien smiled wryly, "I don't want to go to that hellish place again, not only are the animals and people not very friendly, but even the plants are the same, they have scratched several of my clothes, and there are a lot of disgusting spiders. ”
"Well, I have to say that you're a little too squeamish as a member of the jury. Dorian rolled his eyes and said, "The people of Stone Bear Castle communicate with spirits through a sacrificial ritual, but not the spirits of the shadow world, but the spirits who wander in the real world. I'll tell you about it on the way there, Edward. ”
"Count me in. "How can such an exciting activity as dragon slaying be without me, and it seems that there is still a big battle to be fought against us?"
"Take me, take me!" Serra volunteered, "The people at Stone Bear Fort are friendly, they will compete with you in rock climbing, and I can just make some money from them." ”
"So what are we waiting for?" Edward stood up and said with a smile, "If the last Inquisitor has disappeared for eight hundred years, then the current Inquisitor will have to help find him." ”
