In the Golden Anchor Club, the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies were driven out by the soldiers who smelled of blood.

In this process, it is inevitable that someone will be more rude, and there will inevitably be gentlemen and ladies who complain and scold in a low voice, so the butt of the gun made of fine teak wood will inevitably have intimate contact with the distinguished gentlemen and ladies.

Hundreds of figures with heads and faces in the port of Tulun, one by one, stood in the street with no faces, trembling like frightened rabbits, cautiously looking at the Duke of Ross and the Archbishop of Loren in the confrontation.

Joe took a short cloak from his teeth and wrapped it around his exposed upper body.

He didn't add any fuel to the fire, but just told the story of his conflict with Longinus.

"That's it, Your Excellency the Duke, I have been ordered to carry out my mission to apprehend the suspects of treason, and His Excellency Longinus, relying on his great personal strength, forcibly stopped my law enforcement operations."

Joe's eyes widened as he looked Archbishop Loren up and down, "There is no doubt that this is a gross affront to the laws of the Empire. ”

Duke Ross shook the small folding fan in his right hand quickly, and the fan flew rapidly, like the wings of a bee, and even made a clear and audible 'buzzing' sound.

She laughed a few times and took a step forward: "Your Excellency, Longinus's behavior is the instruction of the church?" ”

Archbishop Loren frowned, he looked at the people standing in front of the Golden Anchor Club, and sighed heavily in his heart—they were all figures with heads and faces in the port of Tulun, and they were all the gold lords of the church...... Oh no, it's the great Mu's devout followers.

"Of course we can't listen to one side of the story." Archbishop Loren smiled, holding a small string of rosewood rosaries in his left hand, his fingers gently plucked the rosary, and said to Duke Ross unhurriedly: "At least, we have to listen to what Longinus has to say?" ”

Duke Rose sneered, and she waved her hand.

The four Imperial Major Generals slowly let go of their hands and let go of Longinus, who was being pinned down by them.

Longinus gasped violently, his neck was strangled by two arms, he couldn't breathe, and his Adam's apple was almost broken.

Now that it was easy to regain his freedom, Longinus gasped violently and staggered to his feet.

'Whoop, whoop', like a beast freed from a cage, Longinus's pale golden eyes swept over the five Imperial Army major generals standing in a row one by one: "You are using the power of heresy!" ”

Duke Ross coughed lightly and glared at Longinus fiercely.

Archbishop Loren also squinted his eyes sharply and shouted, "Longinus, come to me." What just happened? Tell me! ”

Longinus's body trembled, and he hurriedly walked to Archbishop Loren's side, bowed deeply to him, and saluted: "Your Excellency, just ......"

Like Joe, Longinus didn't add any fuel to the fire, and told the story of what had happened before.

"Your Excellency, I swear that Miss Roland and her sisters are devout followers of my lord...... I cannot tolerate the presence of people who harm the believers of my Lord. So, I took action, I wanted to protect the believers of my Lord, and that is exactly what my priesthood had entrusted me with! ”

Longinus was very honest, perhaps one of the specific manifestations of his low IQ, and he was very straightforward in calling Miss Roland by name.

"Ho Ho Ho, Miss Roland and her sisters!" Duke Ross covered half of his face with a small folding fan, and laughed unscrupulously in a sharp voice: "Ho ho, Miss Roland and her sisters are devout believers......"

Anyone could hear the mockery in Duke Ross's laughter.

Archbishop Loren took a step closer to Duke Ross, and he whispered, "Well, Longinus is right. ”

Duke Ross said coldly: "Is there something wrong with these valiant and loyal soldiers? ”

There was a palpable anger in her voice: "Even the believers of the church, they are not above the law...... One hundred and seventy years ago, the Church and the nations signed the Secret Covenant of Faith, has His Excellency the Bishop forgotten? ”

Archbishop Loren closed his mouth, and his oily and slippery old face couldn't help but twitch.

"The Secret Covenant of Faith", the biggest scar in the hearts of all the clergy of the Golden Oak Church is something that cannot be touched.

In the Metland continent, the original divine right is above everything, and the emperors and kings of all countries ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and they must invite the pope of the Golden Oak Church to crown them, so that these emperors and kings can inherit the throne reasonably and legally.

One hundred and ninety years ago, the countries of Metland joined forces, and the twenty-year religious wars swept the continent, and the secular imperial power was unprecedentedly resolute in opposing theocracy, and the coalition forces even besieged the holy place of the Golden Oak Church (Double-tree, hehe) for a time.

After the signing of the "Secret Pact of Faith", the divine right was bound to the church from then on, and the imperial power swelled day by day.

"Longinus relied on his personal strength to attack and kill the Imperial soldiers, and interfered with the law enforcement operations of the Imperial First Class Police Captain Joe." Duke Ross said coldly: "This responsibility must be borne by Longinus and the church. ”

"All the bereavement of the dead and wounded soldiers and all subsequent expenses must be paid by the church." Duke Ross said irrefutably: "I will also make a formal written report to Her Majesty the Empress on tonight's conflict, and the Empire will come forward to seek justice from the Church." ”

Archbishop Loren coughed lightly.

He and Duke Rose got together, their heads almost touching, and they argued in a very fast whisper.

Jo was beside Duke Rose, and he could hear the whole conversation between the two.

A lot of it is very exciting.

Such as:

'The Church's Profit for the Year......'

'Comprehensive cost calculation......

'O guilty of exerting extraordinary power before mortals......

"The cost of repairing public facilities such as damaged houses and damaged streets......

'The follow-up treatment of the psychological shadow suffered by the frightened people of Tulun Port......

The Duke of Ross and the Archbishop of Loren were like two shrewd peddlers, arguing fiercely for ten minutes over whether three or five cabbage leaves were considered a match!

In the end, the two almost reached a final tacit understanding.

St. Hilde's Cathedral bears all the compensation for the economic losses tonight, anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, the church thieves have money, and Roland and others, who caused the incident, if they are embarrassed not to donate a sum of incense money to the church, Duke Ross and Archbishop Loren will not let them go.

The casualties of the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the knights of the Church, of course, cannot be said to be a conflict between the two sides.

The 'truth' of tonight is - a gang of shameless, brutal highland thugs who have attacked the port of Tulum again; The Tulum port garrison and the Church Knights fought side by side to repel these damned Highland thugs.

The Duke of Ross and the Archbishop of Loren will sign a joint statement in the Tulum Port Post early tomorrow morning, condemning the atrocities committed by the Highlanders and appreciating the brotherhood of the soldiers and knights of both sides in fighting side by side.

Duke Ross will sign an order to award the Imperial Medal of Honor to the high-ranking knights who fought successfully and killed the enemy tonight, but unfortunately died; And Archbishop Loren, he will also issue an edict to award the golden oak leaf badge and the title of 'sage' to Joe, the hero of the night.

With the Golden Oak Leaf Badge and, above all, the title of 'Sage' endorsed by Archbishop Loren, Joe will automatically become a 'Friend of the Golden Oak Church', automatically enjoying the privileges equivalent to that of a provincial regional bishop.

When Duke Ross and Archbishop Loren bargained, her attitude was very clear - 'Poor Joe has been bitten by a mad dog, and the owner of the mad dog must pay something for it'!

In this regard, Joe said that it is very useful.

His favorability towards Duke Ross soared to full value in an instant.

Subsequently, Duke Ross unceremoniously pointed out that Longinus's blatant interference in the law enforcement operations of imperial officials was a crude interference in the internal affairs of the empire and seriously undermined the traditional friendship between the empire and the church.

So, Archbishop Loren promised that Longinus would be dealt with internally.

The priesthood of the First Deacon of the Holy Inquisition of St. Hilde's Cathedral in Port Longinus Tulun will be stripped of his ordination, and he will become an ordinary Little Knight of the Holy Inquisition, and for the next three years, he will not be restored to his authority, nor will he receive any promotions or rewards.

Joe smiled and rejoiced.

Standing behind Archbishop Loren, Longinus's face darkened for a while, and when he heard that his priesthood would be taken away and that he would not be able to recover for the next three years, he suddenly remembered the confessional room in the Holy Inquisition, which was used only by him!

How many lovely ladies and ladies in that confessional room reverently confessed to him?

So many great memories!

So many wonderful stories!

He can't lose his authority, he can't lose his confessional, he must find an excuse enough to redeem it all!

Longinus's heart burned with anger, and at the same time, he must look at Joe aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, he insulted me, he said that my mother is a damn Potusese woman who plays with crystal balls!" ”

Longinus' eyes were red, and he roared angrily, "This damn fat man, saying that my mother is a heretic...... Great Mu, Your Excellency, I have come out to arrest heretics by your command! ”

Archbishop Loren glared at Longinus angrily.

Damn fool, Archbishop Loren did ask him to come out and arrest the heretic, but you just have to arrest the heretic, what are you doing to interfere with Joe's arrest of the suspect?

Longinus glared at Joe fiercely, and then his gaze quickly fell on the five major generals who had just beaten him.

He roared in a low voice, "The power they used just now came from heresy, no doubt from heresy!" ”

Longinus took out the gray golden oak leaf that Archbishop Loren had given him, and neither Duke nor Archbishop Loren could stop him, a white streamer erupted from his fingers, and quickly swarmed into the golden oak leaf.

The golden oak leaf burst out with a bright golden light, and then flew towards the group of people at the door of the Golden Anchor Club, and hung squarely above the head of a girl with a pale face.

A golden rain of light poured down from the golden oak leaves, and a trace of gray decay appeared on the girl's body, and a phantom of broken wings flashed away.

"Heresy!" Longinus laughed out loud: "I found heresy!" ”

"Wow...... Oh! Joe looked at Longinus with idiotic eyes: "But your Excellency Longinus, this is what you have just insisted on protecting, and you have declared in the name of the Great Mu...... O devout believers! ”
