Chapter 42: The Archbishop's Midday Prayer
No church will have only clergy, especially for large churches, and there will inevitably be a group of apologetic warriors in the church as a force to maintain order and security in the church. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 This is also a custom preserved from the era of the War of the Gods, as a church that represents the will of the gods to fight in the mortal world, the cathar warrior corps is equivalent to the direct army of the church, especially in some theocratic countries in those years, the church's escort team is equivalent to the national army, and carries out all the functions of the army. In the Quaternary Period, the gods were isolated from the world, the wars gradually ended, and the world entered a stable stage of peaceful development, and the influence of the Church weakened to a certain extent compared to the Tertiary period. But even so, the Apologetic Warrior Corps still exists, even if the scale has been reduced a lot, but the vast majority of the warrior corps composed of professionals is still a force that cannot be underestimated, so that even in the absolute monarchy of the Faral Empire, the Apologetic Warrior Corps of each church can balance the imperial power on their own.
However, the warrior group of the Earth Goddess Church does not have such a strong strength, after all, the believers who believe in Denya are different from other gods, and the Guardian Warrior Corps is composed of the most pious professionals selected from the believers, so there are very few high-end combat forces in the Goddess Church, but even so, with the divine power and prestige of the God of Love, it can still maintain the status of the large church of the Goddess Church, which has not changed for thousands of years.
This can be easily seen, the two of them walked all the way to the door of the archbishop's exclusive building, a supreme bishop of a church of this size, and the guards in front of the door are actually only the two lowest-level professionals, so you can imagine the overall strength of the cathar warrior group. And the two young guards didn't seem to have seen any big scenes, seeing Lina coming, their expressions were in a trance at first, but when they saw the mark of the sinners on Lina's forehead, they immediately pressed their nervous hands on the hilt of the sword, and almost pulled out the weapon directly, until finally Lina deliberately showed the hammer hanging from her waist and the Dharma Book Earth Praise, the two nervous young people relaxed, although they had not seen it with their own eyes, but under the education of the church, the two of them had seen several illustrated books of earth holy relics more than once, and they could naturally recognize the highest status of the holy relics of earth praise, of course, they also knewThe Praise of the Earth is not controlled by those who are not recognized by it, so that the Praise of the Earth as a guarantee is more valid and credible than any statement of identity, and is sufficient to prove that the person in front of him is not an enemy of the Church, but rather the most trustworthy member of the Church.
"I am a sinner of the Church, and the earth celebrates the bearer of this generation, Helena the Sage. Lina took off the Dharma Book and held it in front of her, the Dharma Book floated in the air in her hand, and the girl smiled holyly at the two guards and said: "It has been several years since I left the main hall of the Church, and I have been working as an adventurer in the capital of knowledge during this time, and this time I am passing through the city of Neville, and I want to visit the Holy See on the way, you can rest assured that my arrival is in accordance with the will of the Goddess and will not cause any impact on the Holy See." ”
"Helena, Sage?" the two guards looked at each other, although the title of Sage had no real power, but its status in the church was very high, and the two guards had a certain understanding of this, and for the name Helena, the two felt that they must have mentioned it in some story, but the memory was too vague to remember for a while. However, although I can't remember exactly, holding the holy relic in my hand is equivalent to being in front of the goddess seat and taking the goddess as a witness, and any lie at this time is a blasphemy against the goddess, so the two guards did not doubt Lina's words, nodded and said: "The Holy See is praying, can you please wait until the Holy See prayer is over before entering?"
"Two gentlemen. Lina coughed dryly, looked at the two guards seriously, and asked, "May I ask you two, it's been a while since I was in charge of serving as the guard of the Holy See." ”
"Uh, yes. One of the guards scratched his head and said, "I've been in charge of guarding for two years, and he's been almost two years. ”
"No wonder. Lina nodded with a smile: "No wonder you can cooperate with the bishop grandfather so skillfully, describing his daily routine nap as a prayer to prevent all kinds of miscellaneous things from disturbing his sleep." ”
"Huh......" The other guard looked embarrassed, looked at his companion in panic, and stammered: "She, she, she knows what to do, you really can't blame me this time, I didn't say anything." ”
"Stupid. The first guard patted his head in annoyance, of course, it was the other's head, and said hatefully: "You idiot, haven't you heard it yet, this Miss Helena has long known that the Holy See has this habit, what does it have to do with you, you are so anxious to clear yourself what you mean, it's so stupid." I'm sorry, Sage Helena, but my companion is a little bit of a bad brain, you don't have to care about him, uh, since you already know it, then please come in, this gentleman should go in too?"
"Well, he's going in with him. Lina nodded and said, "This is my teammate in the adventure group, a partner who can trust my life, and I also hope that Grandpa Bishop can meet him, no problem." ”
"Of course, of course. The two young men nodded vigorously, lest Lina mistake them for reluctance. In fact, the sage did not have any real power, and even if he did, the two young people who were members of the Guardian Warrior Regiment were not under the jurisdiction of anyone other than the head of the group, so from the perspective of their positions, they did not need such a nervous response at all, and they had the current performance, more because of the natural reaction of the two young men when they suddenly saw a beautiful girl with a gentle demeanor.
Lina knew very well what the two young men were thinking, and rewarded them with a gentle and sweet smile, and while the two young men were still intoxicated, the girl had already taken Pannis's arm and walked into the building. As soon as they entered the building, the two of them heard a loud roar, like a dull thunder ringing in the room, which made people tremble to hear.
"You heard it from outside. Lina sighed and said helplessly, "I don't think with your perceptual ability, it's impossible not to hear." ”
"Yes. Pannis smiled and said, "I've heard it from a distance." ”
"Alas. Lina shook her head sadly and said: "I actually don't understand the bishop's grandfather's thoughts, obviously the snoring sound is so loud, people can hear it from two or three rooms, why does he still naively think that his nap disguise is perfect, and it was because of an accident that he was knocked out several times?"
"The old man's naivety and stubbornness. Pannis shrugged: "But since he slept so deeply, is it okay for us to go in?"
"It doesn't matter, he's used to it. Lina smiled mischievously: "Actually, I've been used to it for a long time." (To be continued.) )
