Chapter 379: Hidden Stains

As the two major religions that divide the faith of the entire continent equally, whether it is the Holy See in the east or the Holy Capital in the west, there will be some unknown internal problems under the seemingly powerful body and influence. In order to save the Holy Capital that had fallen into disorder of faith, Flora came to the Holy Capital alone under the selection of the five supreme gods, and for a long time, with the assistance of the Emerald Green Dragon and the Dragon Legion, Flora finally climbed to the highest point of power, and gradually regained the glory and correct doctrine of the former Holy Capital in the western part of the continent.

At this time, the Holy See in the eastern part of the continent also rose rapidly under the protection of the goddess Ishtar and became a contending existence with the Holy Capital, and the rise of religion brought order to the war-torn continent after the end of the overlord era, but with the growth of the Holy Capital and the Holy See day by day, the secular kings gradually became more wary of the two major religious organizations, and the divine right and the royal power are always a conflict, especially the fanatical believers of the Holy See follow the same fanatical goddess who is eager to override the divine power over the royal power, and this move makes the kings sit like pins and needles。

The Holy See's desire to overwhelm the worldly forces and establish a world dominated by humanity, the race with the greatest potential for thousands of years, is completely contrary to the idea that the Emerald Green Dragon and the Five are the High Gods. As a result, the contradictions between the two sides have also deepened rapidly!

Both the Five Supreme Gods and the Emerald Green Dragon believe that religion should always teach the world to be positive and should not spread violence and hatred. The existence of the gods in mortals is interdependent rather than giving and being given, and human beings believe in the gods to bring them faith and divine power, and as gods, they also have the responsibility and obligation to guide their followers to prosperity and prosperity, but this prosperity and prosperity are never obtained by destroying innocent people. Only an evil god would glorify killing and aggression and trick his followers into a so-called divine war to defend the faith!

The political policies pursued by the Holy See in the eastern part of the mainland have gradually led many countries to secretly form alliances, which has weakened the influence of the Holy See's faith on themselves, and many times some kings do not mind falling into the well when the Holy See is too busy, and the most severe confrontation between theocracy and royal power is that the Holy See has tried a king in the name of blasphemy, although it is only a small country with little influence, but the Holy See's actions are undoubtedly a wake-up call for the secular authorities. Who knows if he will be judged next. That was after the verdict was handed down. Many of the authorities in the eastern continent directly pressured the Holy See to withdraw the trial, and there were even cases of papal knights conducting military drills face-to-face with the kingdom's troops.

The secular military superiority was on the king's side, but the papacy could also mobilize the populace and believers to exert great pressure on the king, and the end result was a tie between the gods and the king. The king of that small country was spared the fate of being burned at the stake. But then it was overthrown by the domestic aristocratic forces. The new king also ascended to the throne with the tacit consent of both sides.

This qiē that happened on the eastern continent was also seen by the Holy Capital, whose teachings had no interest in the superordination of divine power over royal power, and only hoped to guide the whole world on the right path of development. Reduce the sacrifices of unnecessary wars and conflicts. Although the interior of the Holy Capital has been re-purged and promoted by Flora, there are still some stubborn 'stains' left, or it is also evidence that Flora deliberately retained to show favor to the secular kings, and the high priests of the old faction who were once blinded by power and money have become the eyes of the kings to monitor the interior of the Holy Capital, and in turn have become witnesses for the Holy Capital to explain to the secular kings that the Holy Capital has no intention of seizing power.

For decades, the Holy Capital relied on these witnesses to get along relatively well with the authorities of the countries in the western part of the continent, and attracted the other persecuted races in the eastern continent to integrate its technology and advantages and share them with the entire western continent, and for a period of time, the Holy Capital even entered the best honeymoon period with the other countries, and the countries all rushed to agree to the Holy Capital's request to enter the temple to spread the teachings, and in exchange for accepting refugees of other races who had fled from the eastern part of the continent to obtain various technologies.

It was the best of times, the elves brought new magical techniques, the dwarves brought in forging and building skills, the orcs brought a strong labor force, the economy and development of the western continent began to flourish, the contradictions between the various races were mediated by the Holy Capital, and the people of the western continent gradually understood that these alien races were not unacceptable beings.

There was only one thing that Flora did not expect, the high priests of the old factions that had been preserved not only collected commissions from secular kings and became the eyes of the kings to spy on the holy capital, but even quietly collected blood-stained money from the free cities in the eastern part of the continent. Although Flora had already set aside the rights of these high priests in the Holy Capital at the beginning, and only kept them as a tool, these old factional high priests used the funds they obtained to quietly establish their own power outside, and even wanted to overthrow themselves and re-prop up a puppet to occupy the entire Holy Capital.

This is simply wishful thinking of Cheng dù that makes people want to laugh!

Flora had to admit that these old faction high priests were indeed a very annoying being, not only could they not let the holy capital continue to move forward but tried their best to drag it down, after the holy capital climbed out of the quagmire again, the five supreme gods also showed miracles again and selected the chief priest, the ridiculous thing is that these stupid old faction high priests actually want to do something in the selection of the chief priest, it is not difficult to see that these high priests have some support from secular forces behind these foolish actions. Until Flora unceremoniously banished some of the most arrogant high priests to the border, and made a strong statement to the worldly kings!

The Holy Capital is trying to seize power from the king, but it does not mean that it will allow secular forces to meddle in the internal affairs of the Holy Capital!

And this time, the faction high priest, who had been calm for a while, began to move again, and what Flora had just read was a recent situation with the old faction high priest. The Holy Capital and the western part of the continent are now in danger of being attacked by demons and undead, and these old faction high priests still have the energy to produce a document reprimanding Flora, and have already begun to submit this document to the royal families.

Flora really doesn't know how to describe this situation, it really makes people wonder what these high priests are thinking, not to mention the ridiculous content that is fabricated by fabrication, if you do this, it is completely tantamount to destroying the reputation of the Holy Capital, and the position of these high priests is still standing on the side of the Holy Capital?

Seeing that Flora was so angry that she couldn't even speak, Grant encouraged on the side: "It's time to make a decision, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, do you still want to keep these clowns to continue to tarnish the glory of the five supreme gods?"

Flora looked at Grant in front of her wistfully, she had already known Grant when she first came to the Holy Capital, who was still a priest's attendant at the time. At that time, in the face of decay and loss of faith order, Grant was one of the few clergy who still believed in the gods sincerely. And it is because of Grant's perseverance that Flora has promoted Grant many times over the decades, until finally this devout believer finally passed the guò trial and became a high-ranking moon priest, but the only thing that worries Flora is that Grant's piety has developed into fanaticism. Perhaps one of the eastern goddesses wanted her followers to become fanatics, but the five supreme gods were different. What the gods need is believers who can distinguish between right and wrong and move forward in the world. And not brainless crazy puppets.

And it is precisely because of Grant's incredible devotion to the five supreme gods, especially the goddess of ice and snow, Ejoma. The old faction high priests within the Holy Capital have always been regarded by Grant as a stain on the glory of the gods, and Grant has wanted to get rid of these old faction high priests more than once. In the past, Flora kept these high priests in order to secure the kings who feared being seized of power, but now these ignorant people are constantly challenging their own tolerance. Even Her Royal Highness, the Holy Maiden, who is very well cultivated, can't help but be on fire.

"I need an exhaustive investigation into the supporters behind these high priests, and the attitudes of the royal families. After a moment of contemplation, Flora did not lose her mind in a rage.

Grant nodded with satisfaction, although it was not as he expected, but the answer made by Her Highness the Holy Maiden at least showed that Her Highness's attitude towards these high priests had changed. At this time, the girl's crisp voice sounded: "Don't worry, Your Highness Flora, at least I can guarantee that my father will definitely support the eradication of these tumors in the Holy Capital." ”

Flora sighed, and when she heard the voice, the Holy Maiden knew who was coming back, and outside the door that was pushed open, two figures quickly walked in, the Priestess Pramy, who was dressed in a sacrificial robe and wore the sacred object of the storm, the crown of the emerald wind, walked in, followed by the Assassin Quinn, the priest who was a girl bowed to Flora and Grant and said, "Your Highness, my father recently had a message handed me a message, I think you will be very interested in reading it." ”

After speaking, Plamy took out an envelope with the crest of the Isliton family and handed it to Flora, took the letter and looked at Flora's face changed drastically, Grant stared at the saint curiously and looked at Plamy with some puzzlement, the priestess of the god of storms playfully stuck out his tongue, and then smiled and waved his hand to the next saint Finaria beside Flora.

"Is this news convinced?Priest Bramy!" Flora's hands trembled with anger as she put down the letter.

"I can't say it's true, in fact, I've just gotten this news a short time ago, but I think it's possible for some people to do something that goes beyond the bottom line, and it's necessary to punish them with the most severe punishment. Bramy shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.

And the moon priest Grant took the letter and looked at it, and immediately slammed his fist on the table: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, please give an order, you can't let these parasites defile the entire Holy Capital and the five supreme gods." ”

The letter from the Isliton family in the possession of the Moon Priest Grant reveals that several illegal slave traders have recently been accidentally captured in the Kingdom of Córdoba, and according to the confessions of these merchants, it is the old faction high priest of the Holy Capital who provides them with the 'supply'.

"Priest Grant, I authorize you to investigate this matter with full authority and punish anyone who commits such a crime, whoever commits it!" ordered Flora, taking a deep breath. (To be continued......)
