Alfonso, as the cardinal in charge of all affairs of the Church of Light in the Empire, has always had a noble position in the Holy City, only below the two. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first of these two men is the Pope, who is already old and has ignored the affairs of the Church for many years, and in recent years there have been various rumors about the Pope.

It is said that he is too old and is about to return to the arms of the goddess of light, and some people even say that the Pope has long since died and has become a puppet.

The other person is now the number two person in the Church of Light, Archbishop Grigor of Light, whose position is in full swing in the Holy City.

Everyone said that sooner or later he would replace the Pope as the new leader of the Church, but there were also those who knew Gregor who disagreed.

It was believed that Gregor would not have been so ambitious, and that if it weren't for Alfonso's existence, no one in the Church of Light would have been able to restrain him.

Of course, these were based on the fact that Alfonso had a great deal of influence over the Empire, and the Church flourished in the affairs of the Empire.

In particular, Alfonso's investment in the fourth prince Rhaegar reached its peak when Rhaegar succeeded in becoming emperor of the empire.

But with the fall of Rhaegar and the fall of Rhaegar, Alfonso fled back to the Holy City under the escort of the Knights of Light.

Not only did a large number of his cronies leave him, but his supporters also turned to Gregor because of the loss of the Church, and everyone believed that Gregor would win the empire once he succeeded.

Then he will most likely not come back from this trip, but stay there to fight against the Holy City, he has always been such an ambitious person.

"Hmph, that guy Gregor always thinks he is great, after I returned to the Holy City, he ridiculed me so much that even my subordinates saw the wind and made the rudder all turn to him, even if the empire is now under enemy on all sides, does he think it is so easy to fight?"

Alfonso and Gregor were bitter rivals, and during the time he had just returned to the Holy City, he was treated with cold eyes at every turn, which made him angry.

Now that Gregor is leading his army to the east, he has finally made up for the number three in the Holy City, and those mockery on the surface have subsided.

But secretly, Gregory's cronies still look down on Alfonso, believing that it will not be long before Gregor can go one step further.

"Archbishop Gregor is indeed too underestimated against the enemy, and now a few months have passed, and there has been no news from him, and I don't know what the current situation of the empire is, but as long as there is Duke Lin Ye of the Far East, it is not easy to defeat it. ”

The one who was with Alfonso in the clock tower and looked over the holy city was the one who followed Alfonso and went with him to the empire to develop the cause of the Church.

Austin, the head of the Knights of Light, who fled back to the Holy City with him from the Empire, can be described as Alfonso's right-hand man.

The two of them had been operating in the empire for many years, and they knew the situation of the empire very well, and they had dealt with the Duke of the Far East.

"But it's not a matter of Gregor and the Empire now, the area around the Holy City is starting to be a little unstable, and those guys who should have been completely wiped out are showing signs of resurgence, which is not good news for us, and we must do something to stabilize the situation. ”

Alfonso withdrew his gaze and instead looked at the outskirts of the Holy City, bathed in supreme light, unusually fortified and untouched for hundreds of years.

On the outer side of the Holy City, there are a large number of cities that defend them, and a steady stream of food and offerings are sent from these cities every month.

It seems to have been a practice for clergy to enjoy the delicacies offered by the faithful without farming, and it has been so for hundreds of years.

"Resurgence...... Recently, there has been a lot of news about the Dark See, and the so-called revelations related to this ancient church have appeared in various places, and even the exiled sinful people have begun to rebel, and there is a tendency to become more and more violent. ”

Austin was also well aware of the current situation facing the Holy City, and he frowned, as if trying to find out where the problem was.

"That's right, the only thing that can pose a threat to the church for hundreds of years is the Dark Holy See, we have never been afraid of losing to others on the battlefield, as long as the power of faith exists, we are invincible, but once the power of faith is divided by other churches, it will lose the source of strength. ”

Alfonso shook his head slightly, the average priest was unaware of this, but in his position, he could smell a deep sense of crisis.

"Now, in order to suppress the resurgence of the Dark See, the response given by the ruling is to order the 'purification' of various places, but can this really solve the problem? If it is not handled properly, it will even turn into an even bigger turmoil, and the Dark See can stand up to us in the first place. ”

Austin raised concerns about the way the Bright Ruling was to be handled, and although he objected at first, he was not a member of the Ruling Office.

Add to that the fact that he was a defeated general who had returned from the Empire in disarray, and who was as ridiculed as Alfonso in the Holy City, who could listen to him?

"If it is only a small-scale rebellion, secret purification is indeed the best way to calm the situation, in fact, history has secretly carried out the task of purification many times, but now there are one after another events of the resurgence of the Dark Holy Court in various places, which is clearly planned by someone in secret. ”

"Purification in this case will only backfire, the power of the Dark Holy Court at its peak even surpassed us, it has the support of a large number of lower class people, but it suddenly decayed more than thirty years ago, and the decay without warning is still a mystery to this day. ”

Alfonso, as a high-ranking member of the Church, knew too many secrets that no one else knew, but he still did not understand the mystery of the disappearance of the Dark Court.

"In other words, the Dark Holy See suddenly fell in its heyday, and in fact did not suffer a substantial blow from our Church of Light, which means that they still retain the strength to compete with our Church of Light, and after more than thirty years of obscurity, they suddenly rose again?"

It was the first time Austin had heard of such a thing, after all, the four words of the Dark Holy See had always been taboo in the Church of Light, and no one was allowed to mention it.

"Actually, the resurgence of the Dark Holy See began a few years ago, when the Dark Holy Court's Dark Codex, which was not under the Apocalypse of Light, appeared. Alfonso suddenly brought up the old events that had happened in the royal capital.

From that time on, I'm afraid that the ember flames began to heat up again.
