For a long time, Todtilas was one of the most prosperous cities in the Southwest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Grand Duke of Joan of Arc served the three emperors of the Orlando family before and after, suppressing and managing the southwest of the empire on behalf of the emperor. It can be said that Todtilas became prosperous solely because of the Archduke Joan of Arc. Countless merchants poured into the city, bringing with them a large number of mobile populations and consumption possibilities, giving Toddeiras the potential to become a royal court.

However, after the Archduke of Joan of Arc slaughtered a city like madness, the city of Todtilas became somewhat depressed. Merchants who are particularly sensitive to the direction of the wind have begun to gradually withdraw, and compared to small lives, the industry is obviously not as inseparable as people think.

Of course, for now, the city is still bustling.

The Grand Duke of Joan of Arc had not shown up for a long time, and even the affairs of the feudal country had been handed over to the retainers, and she didn't even want to see anyone unless necessary. She is still immersed in the grief of losing her beloved son, unable to extricate herself, and washes her face with tears every day. She is already old, and she no longer has the ability to give birth to another offspring, and the continuous conquests of her youth, as well as the growing strength of the war, have made her lose her fertility early.

Assomend's death was like the sky had fallen for her.

At this time, in the dark dormitory, she sat loosely on the bed, and her straight back was bent. His hair had turned gray, he could no longer see his original color, his cloudy eyes stared blankly at the door of the dormitory, and the smiles of Asomend's different ages flashed in his mind.

"He was a quick learner when he was a kid. "I remember when he was nine years old, when I had just returned from the imperial capital, he ran to greet me covered in sweat, and then laughed at me and said to me, 'Mom, I'm already a knight!'", as if to evoke memories of the past, there was a smile of nostalgia for the past on the thin and haggard face of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, and her eyes were a little moist," I still remember that he was only nine years old, and in order to surprise me, he practiced his fighting spirit in the sun during the hottest summer and tamed a war horse of his own. ”

"You may not know how happy I was at that time, and it made me happier than the emperor had given me anything!

"And, when he was fourteen years old, he fell in love with a farmer's daughter......," said the Archduke of Joan of Arc, whose tone was full of remorse, "and this was his first taste of love, and he secretly carried me behind my back, and every day he picked flowers from the garden and gave them to the girl." He did everything he could to put a smile on that daughter's face, no matter how difficult it was, he would do it. ”

"When I found out about it, I was filled with jealousy. Forgive me for being a widow with a child, who is full of sin, and I am jealous of that girl, and out of jealousy, hatred arises. I hated that she had taken away the child who had been circling around me from me, and that she had tried to degrade my child, and that she had instigated him to work in the fields, to do all that dirty work. ”

"So I killed her with my own hands and robbed him of his joy, but it was to get Assomende back on the right path. He didn't say a word to me for a long time, and I didn't go to him, and it took about three or four months for our relationship to ease. I told him that he was going to be the king of this fiefdom in the future, and that his wife could never be a farmer's daughter, but only a descendant of a nobleman, and a descendant of a great nobleman. ”

"How I regret now, why did I do such a stupid thing, I should make him happy, even if he did those menial jobs, even if he would be ridiculed for marrying a farmer's daughter, as long as he lived!"

"Do you understand my feelings, Lord Priest?", she rolled her eyes as she looked at the cardinal, who was standing in the shadows, dressed in a red-on-bottomed gold-trimmed robe.

It is true that the church has been suppressed all the time, and this is on a macro level. However, after detaching from this macro level, the acceptance of the church by the lower class is still quite high. If nothing else, a healing technique alone is enough to make the general population accept the existence of the church. The instability and high price of alchemy potions are enough to discourage many people who are suffering from illness, but it only takes one or two silver coins to ten silver coins to receive a healing technique, which can be consumed by everyone, and it is very safe and reliable.

Even many nobles would hire some clergy, overtly or covertly, to build churches for them in their fiefdoms in case of emergency.

Even the imperial capital was manned by cardinals who were always waiting for the summons of Empress Pars, not to mention the "countrymen" who were not very hostile to the Church? In Toddilas, there was a bishop stationed there, waiting for the call of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc at any time and place.

This time, because the matter was more difficult, the bishop applied to a cardinal to deal with the matter.

It is not a big deal, Assomend's death is not honorable, he did not fight for justice and fraternity and die because of it, he was only killed in bed for the pleasure of other people's wives, so his soul could not ascend to heaven, but could only wander in the world. If a soul cannot find a safe place to live in a short period of time, then there are only two paths for the soul to follow.

Either they gradually dissipate into this world over time, or they become terrifying ghosts, losing all reason and memory, and becoming a ghost driven by instinct and desire.

Whatever the reason, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc will not allow his beloved children to dissipate or become ghosts. She was willing to donate 10,000 gold coins to the Church, hoping that the Church would send a clergyman at least the rank of cardinal to save her son's soul and give him the opportunity to ascend to heaven and enjoy eternal joy and well-being.

The cardinal smiled compassionately, he would not argue with a madwoman who had lost her child, "I can understand you, honorable queen, and that's what I'm here for. ”

He took the Bible from under his arm, put it in the palm of his hand, and walked to the edge of the bed in a faux puff, and he looked at the Archduke Joan of Arc, who had begun to become a little out of shape, and took her wrist and pressed her hand to the Bible.

"I understand the pain in your heart, and I understand your pain, and I am here not only to save that poor soul, but also to poor people. As he spoke, the cardinal's body began to glow with a soft white light, which made the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc feel a trace of warmth and a sense of relief. She looked at the cardinal in amazement, and the cardinal smiled kindly, "If your child were here, he wouldn't want you to torture himself like this." ”

"God the Father tells us that in order to be free from all sorrows, sorrows, and troubles, you first need to let go of everything. Only by letting go of everything can we return to our true self and be liberated. Letting go is not an act of weakness, on the contrary, it is a great power, and only a true warrior can have the courage to truly let go of everything. I can pray for your child, I can guide him into Heaven, but it also takes your strength. Hatred cannot help anyone, it can only destroy yourself and others, and only truth, goodness, beauty and love can help you and your children. ”

"In the glory of God the Father, I want you to work with me to cleanse you from all sin and evil and leave behind beauty and goodness. ”

The first God of the Church of Light is not the God of Light, but the God of the Father. The reason why the Church of Light is not called the Church of God the Father or anything else is directly related to the development of the church and the division and reorganization of the church. The Church of Light has been passed down from the Age of Mythology to the present, and there have been countless sects within the Church, such as the Shinmeikai period in the ancient period, where the Myojin Sect dominated the church.

In ancient times, the Discipline Sect defeated the Myojin Sect again, and the name of the church became the Kamui Church. About 4,000 years ago, the Holy Light Cult took over the dominant position, and the name of the church became the Holy Light Church again.

It was not until the Holy Empire that in order to conform to the will and rule of the Holy Emperor, the Glorious Sect, which had left a certain mark in the history of the church, reformed the doctrine of the sect and cited the concept of "the God of Light is the second God Lord", and with the help of the nobles, it returned to the dominant position within the Society, thus returning the Holy Light Church to the "Cult of Light God".

The Church of Light is just a colloquial name, and the Church of Light is the most orthodox and formal name.

The Church may always seem to outsiders to be an image of affinity and benevolence, but the struggle between sects within the Church is by no means less fierce than the political struggle. There is still the possibility of compromise and mitigation in political struggles, but in sectarian struggles within the church, the losing side will inevitably be exterminated, and even the doctrine will be burned. So many sects that have ruled for hundreds of thousands of years in history have not left even a complete sentence of their teachings.

Many people who don't know much about the church tend to think that the Church of Light only has one God, but this is actually a wrong concept, and the first God is always the Father. In the age of mythology, Rossi, the incarnation of God the Father who walked on earth, spread the original teachings to the whole world, and established the system of holy power, laying the foundation and foundation for the existence of the entire church. So no matter who comes to power, God the Father will always be the first God.

The cardinal's body instantly burst out with a bright light, but this light did not have the slightest fire, did not have any power, but was as gentle and soft as gentle water, wrapping people tightly, and all the troubles and sorrows in his heart began to become lighter. For the first time after the death of Athomende, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc felt calm, as if floating on a calm lake, enjoying the slight flow of the water and the tranquility brought about by the gentle breeze caressing.

Suddenly, Archduke Joan of Arc withdrew his hand violently, squinted slightly, and looked at the cardinal with a warning look in his eyes.

The cardinal was still smiling, not paying any attention to the warning in her eyes, and once again slowly grabbed the wrist of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, "Please do not reject the power of love, God the Father has mercy on the world, so he allows his glory to lead ordinary people to bathe in glory, enjoy tranquility, and wash away their sins." ”

"For your sake, for your children, for the sake of those innocent who died under your will, please accept the power of the Father!"

In an instant, a strong light instantly enveloped the entire dormitory!
