The small hall of the temple is actually not small;

On the 4-meter-high roof are portraits of the heroes of the Church:

or the pastor preaching the gospel and proclaiming the teachings of God, or the warriors of God fighting demons and punishing the blasphemers, etc., are all famous deeds in history;

Seta only looked at it slightly, but he was more interested in what was on the wall than in the stories above:

It is a resplendent decoration of gold and silver wrapping, and the walls are full of gold and silver ornaments!

"Very luxuriously decorated"

Compared to the temple in Clear Water City, this temple is obviously more luxurious and incredible!

Seta could only sigh in his heart, the power of faith is really infinite!

You must know that this world is a world similar to the previous life of the Earth and the Middle Ages!

To build such a huge temple with such low social productivity, Seta can't calculate how much material it would take to do it?

"The church is really rich!"

Sighing slightly, Seta then shook his head and smiled:

"It seems to be something that the king is considering"

"And the more powerful the church, the better it is for me now"

I took a sip of the hot tea and swallowed it, feeling the mild tea flowing down my esophagus, and my whole body seemed to become warmer;

Seta tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:

theocracy and kingship;

Whether it is in the past life or now, there has never been a place where they can live in peace and harmony, and in the end, one party can only overwhelm the other!

It is actually a good thing for ordinary people that one side overwhelms the other! Because at least there is a stable life to live;

And if unfortunately, the power of the divine right and the royal power is not much different!

Pray, then war is coming!

Wars involving faith are always cruel, and after such a great war, it is natural that the victor ascends, and the defeated can only pray for forgiveness from the victor;

If you are lucky enough to be forgiven, then you will become the other party's subordinate for a long time, and then you will naturally hide your minions, accumulate strength, and wait for the next rise!

If you're unlucky, you're all over!

And all this is for the sake of power and faith!

Setta's eyes were indifferent and seemed to smile slightly, but his thoughts did not know where to go;

At this time, a loud shout came from outside the door:

"Your Excellency Cardinal has arrived!"

Seta came to his senses and immediately stood up, the golden doorknob was twisted and the door opened, and a kind old man with gray hair walked in, followed by several low-ranking priest attendants;

Seta immediately bowed and said:

"Seta Fanaan Finney, it is a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency Cardinal!"

With a kind smile on the old man's face, so amiable against the background of the non-existent holy power, he strolled over and patted Seta's shoulder:

"God bless the pious, child!"

After saying that, he sat down on the throne under the service of these attendants;

Seta bowed again:

"It's a great pleasure to have your compliment"

"Sit down, child!" the cardinal smiled and waved his hand;

Seeing the young nobleman sit down as he said, the old man nodded and said:

"Is Hilt okay with that kid?"

The kid's eyes lit up:

The relationship between the cardinal and the silver knight was much closer than he had imagined, and when he thought so, he immediately nodded and said:

"Lord Cullen is doing well right now"

Then he thought that two of the three meetings with the Silver Knight were at the training ground, and Seta felt that he could distill this point and show his closeness:

"I am practicing my skills every day, and I have not slackened"

Sure enough, when he heard Seta say this, the cardinal burst out laughing:

"No, no, no, I've never been worried about that"

"Hilt grew up watching me, he worked hard since he was a child!"

"He was a godly and courageous warrior of God"

After the casual conversation, both sides had a preliminary understanding, and the cardinal asked with a smile:

"Did Hilt ask you to bring a letter here?"

"Yes," Seta stood up, took the scroll from his bosom, and handed it to one of the attendants, who examined it briefly, and then handed it to the cardinal;

After taking a brief look at the scroll, the seal of the letter was intact, and the cardinal nodded and tore open the scroll and browsed it;

Not long after, the cardinal finished reading the letter, straightened the hem of his clothes, smiled and said:

"I've got you covered, kid"

"This is only God's test for you, only piety is the only way for us to pass the test!"

"You don't have to be in a hurry"

Seta bows in agreement:

"Yes, Your Excellency Cardinal, I will continue to be of great faith!"

"Well" on the topic of faith, the cardinal did not go on to say more;

After all, the beliefs of the nobility? But since he was a friend of Hilter, he could be treated with special treatment:

"I'll give you a letter of recommendation now, and you take it to Earl Bruce Wiley," and immediately a squire took out a pen and paper and put it on the desk;

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Cardinal!" Seta breathed a sigh of relief and passed the test;

Soon, a new letter was written, and with a light blow, the cardinal rolled it up into a scroll, which he handed to the squire, who then passed it on to the young nobleman below;

Seeing the young nobleman respectfully take the scroll, the cardinal said:

"Count Bruce Willie is the head of the Knights of Glory and the head of Red Mountain County in this fight against the Devil."

"Take my letter of recommendation and go to the Order's residence to find him."

Seta immediately bowed and saluted:

"Thank you very much for your recommendation, Your Excellency!"

Coming out of the Grand Temple, Seta stopped a carriage:

"To the Knights of Glory's Station"

The coachman, apparently aware of this place, took off his hat and saluted slightly:

"No problem, Your Excellency, please get in the car!"

Seta stepped into the carriage from the open door and took his seat, and then the coachman closed the door, and then the carriage began to move slowly with a shake;

Seta lifted the curtain and looked out, the streets were wider than the Blue Water City, there were more people, and even the clothes and complexions they wore were better than the Blue Water City;

Lowering the curtain, Seta leaned back in her chair:

"It seems that the power of the royal family is very strong, and I didn't feel much when I was in Maple Leaf County, but when I arrived in the direct territory of the royal family, this feeling was obvious!"

"The standard of living here is obviously higher than that of Blue Water City!"

"I don't know what about the other counties, if they are all the same as Maple Leaf County, then the royal family is very powerful!"

"Do you want to meet the royal family?"

As the carriage swung forward, Seta turned his mind elsewhere:

"Earl Bruce Wiley?"

"He should not be a territorial earl, but a court nobleman!Because the Knights of Glory is one of the three knights of the royal family, and the king will not leave it to the local nobles to lead."

Thinking so, Seta frowned:

"I just don't know what kind of person this earl is, will he be disgusted with the local nobles?"

Just as there is a contradiction between theocracy and royal power, there is also a contradiction between the court nobility and the local nobility!

There is no territory for the title of nobles in the court! You can only rely on different titles to receive a certain amount of gold coins from the royal family every year;

And for the same reason, the titles of the court nobles are hereditary, unless there are outstanding talents in all generations, otherwise the court noble families will sooner or later fall back into the dust and become commoners!

This is not the case with the local nobility, because their titles come from the land, so they can be nobles and nobles for generations!

Here's the contradiction:

The nobles of the court were jealous of the territories of the local nobles, and the local nobles hated the pride of the nobles of the court!

"Your Excellency, the Knights' Residency has arrived!"

"Hmm!"
