Holy City
The holy city of Babylon is known as the greatest city in the world, also known as the writings of God, and it is located in the very center of the entire continent. All the written laws that have been handed down to the world come from here, and it is the birthplace of faith, politics, culture, and commerce, and the beginning of human civilization. The Holy City is divided into the Lower City and the Inner City, and the Lower City is not a literal city below, but a new city that expands around the Inner City, and is said to have a history of thousands of years shorter than the Inner City. The Holy Empire spread orthodox religion, gathered the power of the continent, and all the affairs of the secular government were handled in the lower city, creating the prosperity of the first city in the world.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the lower city, the inner city is quiet in the center of the Holy City, and it is forbidden for anyone below the bishopric to enter, including the royal families and nobles who once came to the throne of all nations. Each year, the inner city is open for three days on the Day of the Gods, and an additional two days at the turn of the popes for all to worship. The Travelogue of the Holy School reads: "A life without entering the Holy City is incomplete, but a life without entering the Holy City of the Lord is blissful." "The towering temple can be seen from any angle in the Holy City, it is said that it is the place where the gods built and lived, the pillars are as high as a hundred people, and twenty people are surrounded by thick columns, and the whole temple is supported by 1,096 pillars, which is not done by man.
People who live in the lower holy city call the inner city the main holy city, which is left by the gods and immortals, and worship the holy city every day can be blessed by the gods, and worshipping the day and night is also a unique custom and culture here. It is said that there was once a strong person of the Holy Order who entered the Holy City of the Lord and did not worship, but was persuaded by good words and made a lot of nonsense, and disappeared from the world in less than three days, and there was no news again. The most bizarre thing is that the battle between the Saint-Rank powerhouses must be earth-shattering, shaking mountains and reclamation, and in the three days that this Saint-Rank powerhouse disappeared, no one in the whole continent had seen any battle, and in the end it could only be attributed to miracles, even the most ungodly people could not deny it.
Today, a knight in golden-red armor walked towards the temple, and the clergy and bishops who came and went bowed when they saw it, which showed that this person's identity was not ordinary. The knight walked into the temple like an ant walking into the body of an elephant, and even the most burly figure looked a little thin at this time. Standing in the main hall, kneeling down on one knee, bowing his head "May my emperor be saintly!" The metal armor shook with him, and he was sassy.
An old man in a red robe in front of the hall looked sideways when he heard the sound, and after a glance, he lowered his head, looking at his nose and nose.
"O most valiant warrior of the gods, may the gods be with you! A low, somewhat old voice rang out
"Thank God, thank the Holy Emperor. "The knight's right hand is on his left chest, Shane.
"Paladin Master, come here in person today, is there anything important?" The Pope stared at the Paladin Chief on the steps.
"Back to Your Majesty, nothing major happened, but the subordinates of the ministers reacted, the Harlem Empire mission that came to the temple to play has been detained by the Holy Knights for more than three years, if it is not allowed to go, I am afraid that something will happen. The paladin didn't look up, still buried in his chest.
"Oh, have the knights of the Kingdom of God begun to fear war?" the Pope not only did not answer, but asked the calm knight in surprise.
"No, Your Majesty has misunderstood the meaning of the minister, the minister wants to make plans in advance, and if there is a war, he must take the initiative and arrange in advance. The knight's breath was a little unsteady when asked by the always charitable Pope.
"You can't plan for this in advance, even I can only listen to God's will, and no one is exempt. "The Pope is a little tired and doesn't want to embarrass the Paladin.
"Yes" the knight did not continue to ask, and at any time, the authority of the Pope could not be questioned. The chief paladin, who was born in the church since childhood, studied the holy scriptures, and has a devout faith, will not have any doubts or dissatisfaction with God's spokesman in the world, but the rules of knighthood also need to be followed.
Reth is the youngest paladin in the Holy Knights, and his talent and intelligence have led to the fact that at the age of thirty, Reth has been nominated as a candidate for the Knight of the Round Table by three of the twelve Templars. Perhaps within ten years, Rhys will be one of the highest echelons of the Holy Empire's administration, the youngest and most promising paladin to become one of the Twelve Templars. Then Rhys will be the embodiment of God's virtues on earth, namely: humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirituality, honesty, justice. It was such an excellent paladin who, in the temple of the Knights, constantly proposed to Allen, the head of the Holy Knights, to release the innocent mission, which made Allen have to come to His Majesty the Pope.
The Pope looked at Allen, who was silent with his head down, and shook his head helplessly, "Your Excellency the Knight, if it's okay, step aside, the Great Elder's teaching affairs still have a lot to finish." ”
"Your Majesty, Honorable Great Elder, sorry to disturb you. Alan bowed and turned to leave, feeling a little regretful about the departure of the mission today.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have finished reporting on the teaching affairs that they have prepared to organize, please allow me to retire. The Great Elder pondered for a moment, and then retired the next moment after Knight Commander Allen left.
Hearing this, the Pope's brows suddenly furrowed and quickly put it down, and he glanced deeply at the Great Elder, "Okay, the rest will be for you, Your Excellency the Great Elder." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Great Elder bowed and retreated.
Seeing the Grand Elder leave, the 19th Pope Orlando was crowned and said to himself, "The elder group seems to have more and more ideas." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, in recent years, it seems that different voices have been emerging in the Elder Body, but Gray has not reported it. "A small voice suddenly came from the temple of Nuoda, responding to the Pope.
"Elders, what are you thinking?" Orlando wasn't too surprised.
"It seems that the elders have divided their views on the worldly government, and they are divided into three factions, with the Great Elder as the leader, the Three Elders as the leader, and the eight or ninety-three elders as the leader. "Above the main hall, there is still no human figure, only the sound of it.
"What do you think about Allen's coming to me today to intercede with the Harlem Mission?" the Pope did not continue to ask the Elders, but suddenly asked the paladin Allen.
"It was Rhys who pushed him too hard, and the honor of the Templars forced him to come. "On the far right side of the staircase leading to the Pope, where the sun does not shine into the main hall at this time, a figure walked out, wrapped in a black and gold trench coat, with a dark blue hat on his head, slowly walking out of the shadows and standing beside him.
"Oh, yes? I still underestimate this kid Rhys, and it seems that he does have hope. As for what the hope was, Orlando didn't go on.
After waving his hand and motioning for the ruling to step down, Orlando rubbed his eyebrows. I thought to myself: the verdict is the best knife in the hands of the popes of all generations, and His Majesty the Fifth Pope is indeed right. Now that the canon is in the world, the end is approaching, and the storm is in turmoil, will I be the one who can save the world? If there is a so-called savior in the canon, the Elders and the Templars, will they be used by me or will they throw themselves at that savior? Alas, what a group of people who are not easy to worry about.
