Chapter 177 I wish you all a happy Christmas, no, Happy New Year's Day, all the best, all wishes, and a happy family
In the pure white palace, the Pope sat on a soft couch and pretended to sleep, and the whole palace seemed to be daylight, and there was not even a shadow when people walked in it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only the Pope in the empty palace, empty, but it does not make people feel lonely. This is an evolution of the Holy Light Technique in the Cult of Light, through some new ideas to change the original Holy Light Magic circuit structure, by inscribed on the magic pedestal, to achieve the purpose of solidifying this new Holy Light Technique, after inserting the Tiberium Crystal, it can always light up a certain area.
The Holy Light Technique is inherently capable of burning evil and dispelling darkness, so there is not a single shadow visible in the entire palace, and it is as bright as day.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps shattered the silence of the palace, and two bishops, dressed in silver on a white background, hurriedly trotted in from outside the palace. The Pope opened his eyes slightly, glanced at them, straightened up, and showed kindness and kindness between his eyebrows, but the starlight twinkling in the depths of his eyes gave people a great sense of oppression. After all, he is the head of a religion, ruling over millions, tens of millions of believers, and controlling the emotional changes of more people, even if he doesn't want to show any aura, his position, his power will naturally exude this kind of power.
"What's the matter? in such a hurry?", the Pope's voice was very calm and magnetic, and he could not tell his age at this time from his appearance alone, he was only about fifty years old, his face was full of red, his face did not have many wrinkles, and his skin was full and fair. There is a charm between raising hands and feet, like a spring breeze, without the slightest fireworks. "It's really disturbing and quiet, I've just squinted, and I seem to let you mess with it between sleep and sleep. ”
This is like what the Pope said, more like an ordinary old man, there is no inexplicable preaching, there is no big truth, only a little insignificant complaint like a joke.
The two priests gasped, folded their hands and bowed their heads, "Ask the Pope for forgiveness, a machine in the communication room resonated, and the other party identified himself, saying that he was a golden nobleman from Ortlenburg, Viscount Rennes, and wanted to talk to you." ”
The Pope's eyes widened suddenly, and the stars spewed out from his eyes, and he just made a posture to get up, his ass just off the surface of his chair, and his body still leaning forward. In the next moment, he actually disappeared in place, and when he looked at him again, he was already standing at the door of the palace. When the two priests rubbed their eyes and tried to distinguish again, the Pope had disappeared without a trace, and they couldn't help but look at each other in amazement.
It's been a long time since I've seen the Pope act so cleanly, especially after the sudden abdication of Orlando VI, and many of the already agreed actions have stopped. Orlando VII, that girl seems to be not so interested in some of Orlando VI's policies, and has a perfunctory attitude towards some agreements, which makes the Church hit a wall that cannot be opened in some areas at once, and His Majesty the Pope is so listless all day long, eager to go to bed from morning to night, from night to morning.
His Majesty the Pope sometimes jokingly complains about the strength of the ancestors, and the **** of the ancestors has indeed ruled the world, leaving behind achievements that the younger generations can only look up to. But it is also this remarkable achievement that has been written in history and has become something that every generation of people in power needs to be wary of. Not every emperor likes to have a more powerful organization in his head, and in order to avoid becoming a victim of religion again, all emperors are learning from the experience of their predecessors and constantly inhibiting the development and expansion of religion.
For example, the "Missionary Act", the "Restriction of the Spread of Faith Act", the "Believer Self-Discipline Act" and a series of other legal and illegal means have forced religion to not develop well. Over the years, the Pope has been working hard to achieve this, but with little success. He wanted to reach out to the higher rulers, but those rulers had no interest in religion and almost completely cut off the path to the rise of the Cult of the Illuminati.
Now, however, there has been a turnaround.
In a few breaths, the Pope crossed half of the Temple of Light and plunged headlong into the communication room, where he closed the door and swept back and forth several times with Evil Detection before sitting down at the table. coughed lightly, and at this time, his calm inner world actually made small waves.
"Your Excellency Viscount Rennes, I am the contemporary Pope, Pont Faracs. The air in the communication room was like a lake of stones thrown into a lake, with ripples that could not be seen by the naked eye. Ignoring the limitations of space and time, the ripple radiated into the nearby Magic Transmitter Tower almost the next second, and after several relays, after about five seconds, it sounded from the microphone on the other end. The Pope clenched his fists, stood up nervously, tried to take a few steps, and sat down quickly.
After a few moments, a voice rang out from the microphone, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, "Hello, Your Majesty the Faithful Pope, I am Rennes Alcania, and it is a pleasure to speak with you. ”
The Pope subconsciously approached the mouth and said, "I don't know if you have anything important to do with me?"
"There is indeed something to trouble you, as you may already know, the situation in the province of Bell has become very dangerous, the rebels have begun to attack the city of Mirin, and Her Majesty the Queen of Pars has asked me to rush to the aid of Mirin at once, and to ensure that the sovereignty of the province of Bell is not shaken in any way. I have not enough troops at my disposal for the time being, but at the same time the Church has six thousand soldiers and more than a thousand believers stationed in Ortrenburg, who live in a town not far from me. ”
"I hope that with your permission, I can obtain the command and transfer rights of these soldiers and cooperate with me in suppressing the rebels. ”
The Pope was slightly stunned, and then frowned, he repeatedly lowered the presence of the Cult of Light Forces, just to avoid provoking the hostility of the Orlando Empire. As a super-large, long-established religion, it is definitely not just the "love" embodied on the surface, but also "hate" and "kill". The Knights Templar and the Templar Order were the Church's guarantee that it would keep a low profile and protect its own interests from being trampled under the feet of the aristocratic class. If he agrees to Wren's request, it will most likely cause the Empire's upper echelons to refocus more attention on the church.
After all, the Church has armed forces that can shake the rule of the Empire, and even if these forces do nothing, they are enough to make the Church feel threatened.
He thought about it for a long time before he slowly asked, "You should know that Her Majesty Empress Pars has always been not so friendly to the Cult of Light, and is even hostile to us. If I rush to dispatch the Holy Sect Forces, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. ”
There was a burst of laughter from the microphone, "You don't have to worry about causing unnecessary trouble, I will personally explain all your concerns to Her Majesty the Empress of Pars, and I will persuade all the nobles in the Imperial Assembly to open up some of the restrictions appropriately." I've always believed that the church's members are part of Orlando, and it's the legacy of history that has pitted us against each other and beware of each other. These are not irresolvable, and I am willing to be the one who takes the initiative to stand up and resolve these contradictions. ”
"We all have the same ancestors, we have the same blood flowing in our bodies, we are one, inseparable family. I've always thought it's true that 'with great power comes great responsibility,' and that the church should take on some responsibilities when necessary. And I will support the external offensive and development of the church, and cooperate with the actions of the church in some areas. ”
"If Bell Province is in complete disarray, I'm afraid you and the church's development plan will have to be put on hold, because the next time will be the time of civil war in Orlando. This civil war could last three to five years, or even longer, and the devastation of the war would throw many things off course, perhaps including the church's plans to expand westward. More importantly, when we have all suffered losses to varying degrees, and the church has come out unscathed, do you think the nobles will let you and the church continue to operate?"
"The wealth and materials accumulated by the church over thousands of years are enough to make up for the losses caused by this civil war, and when the time comes, there will always be people who jump out to create contradictions and conflicts and attack the church. This is not my alarmism, but I see these current situations from the perspective of an aristocracy. You can not trust me, but you should trust my gaze. ”
"Now, it is a very opportune opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, His Majesty the Pope. ”
I have to say that Wren's few words made the Pope's heart move, Wren is different from other nobles, he is a golden nobleman, in layman's terms, he is a royal family, his promises are not as direct as Pars, but they also have extremely heavy political power. If some of the ropes that bind the Church can be loosened in some respects, His Majesty the Pope is confident that the Church will be able to develop considerably before he returns to the arms of the God of Light.
It is said that the ass decides the head, and the Pope, who carries the future of the entire religion, licked his lips dryly, "I don't know whether to trust you or not, after all, I am shocked by what you said." ”
Even though the distorted voice did not have any emotional fluctuations, His Majesty the Pope still believed in how sincere Wren's tone of voice was at this time, "Please believe me, this is a sacred promise of a golden nobleman, I will swear by my blood and my ancestors that everything I say is true and from the heart." ”
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists hard, "I will inform the generals who are advancing to the base, I hope that the friendship and trust between us will not be hurt in any way." I also ask you to believe in my promise that the Church will not shake the foundations of the golden aristocracy, that our interests are the same, that our purposes are the same, and that we should be friends, not enemies. ”
Wren replied quite happily, "What you said is very reasonable, thank you very much for your support to me, I believe that in the future, you will find that this exchange between us will definitely leave a very important page in history." ”
Wren, who was far away in Ortrenburg, laughed, dragging the church into the water was also one of the things he had been thinking about, and he took this opportunity to tie the church to his chariot.
Uniting the majority is the most correct political path. (To be continued.) )
