Chapter 11: The Inquisition
After Sparker and the others walked through the research institute, there was no longer a large number of strange-shaped creatures, but an empty hall, and there were a few disciples in white or black robes scattered in the hall.
"Did we escape?" Sparker whispered to Ophelia and Danny to keep quiet, and then quietly pointed to the cultists who were less than ten people and said, "There are no monsters here, and there are not many cultists, Ophelia, how are these cultists different from what we have seen before?" Indeed, especially the four black-robed cultists made Sparky a little puzzled.
"This should be the top of the papal ruins," Ophelia pointed to the exit at the other end of the hall and said, "As long as we go out from there, the sky should be high and the birds will fly!" Saying this, Ophelia looked at the disciples in black robes with a worried look and said: "Those black-robed disciples are the punishment sacrifices in the GBL Sect, everyone is ruthless, judging from the monsters in front, there must be something unusual about these punishment sacrifices!"
"Punishment sacrifice?" Sparky repeated, then frowned and disappeared You can find that every church in the Arad continent has an existence similar to the "Inquisition", and the name may be different, but the purpose of this institution for the church is much the same, that is, to suppress all anti-church heretical organizations, as well as people who have heretical thoughts or sympathize with heresy. Many of the most horrific events occurred at a time when revolutionary ideas and religious ideas clashed, and that was when the Inquisition came out to suppress them, and almost every repression would be a bloody massacre. This was the Inquisition, and all the members of the Inquisition had an almost extreme belief in the Church, and it was this extreme ideology that led to the demise of this institution. Ever since Christopher Holy Light saved the world from the "curse of blood" thousands of years ago After the rescue and establishment of the most authoritative and large Holy See in St. Petersburg, the Inquisition ceased to exist, and Christoph Holy Light was also an ordinary missionary before he became famous, and he hated the Inquisition very much, and after the establishment of the Holy See of St. Paul, he called on all local churches to abolish the Inquisition, which was also very successful with the cooperation of the military with the royal family of Arad, but finally encountered resistance in the face of GBL Christianity. Although GBL existed on the West Coast, it had a different meaning, and the GBL kept the Inquisition under the dual oppression of the Holy See and the Arad royal family. For the Gbl, a church that is supported by the common people of the entire West Coast, the Arad royal family is not too coercive, and in the end the matter is not settled. And the preserved GBL Inquisition was finally hidden in the underground world, and since then they have disappeared from the world in black robes, they have no names, and the only name is "Punishment Sacrifice!"
"Hey, now that the people of the West Coast are panicking, and the royal family of Arad is putting pressure on me to make the GBL Sect take a stand, how should we deal with it now?" said a white-robed disciple with a sad face at this time. The city in the sky has become a forbidden area, although the tyrannosaurus king Bakar has not yet appeared, but the army of light has destroyed all the houses in a radius of fifty square kilometers in these days, and set up a cordon of the forbidden area, and all personnel who cross the non-local forces there will be directly strangled, the foundation of our GBL religion is this west coast, should we expand the establishment to include homeless civilians in the scope of protection?"
"Hmph, woman's benevolence!" a black-robed priest next to him snorted coldly, and then said, "Have you forgotten the oracle of the god of GBL?"
"Of course, we haven't forgotten this, but the Ice Elf Ring has been kept in the treasure vault of the West Coast Government, where is it so easy to get?" Another white-robed priest said helplessly: "Now that the situation on the Arad continent is so chaotic and tense, I'm afraid that only if we express our allegiance to the Arad royal family in public, otherwise, not to mention the Ice Elf Ring, even our church will also be conscripted by the Arad royal army." ”
"If you can't get the Ice Elf Ring peacefully, then let us come to the Inquisition!" The black-robed cultist just now showed a gloomy smile, and then said: "Now that the forces of all parties are complicated and chaotic, and now the Arad royal family has no time to take care of it, and our Inquisition's big gift has not been given out for so long!"
"But" the white-robed cultist wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the black-robed cultist waving his hand, knowing that it was useless to say more, he also sighed, and then said to himself: "Hey, if we do this, our GBL church will really become synonymous with monsters and evil!" while the black-robed cultist sneered and did not speak. Don't think that this white-robed disciple is a bodhisattva or that he has the mind to break away from the GBL sect, Lotus mind control is a very advanced skill, and people who are controlled by the mind will not change their personality, thoughts and actions, but they are like worker ants facing the queen ant, and the absolute center of gravity is the same. Lotus knows that there are good and evil sides to everything, the good side represents mildness and reason, and the evil side represents violence and madness. As the so-called knowing people and making good use of them, Lotus continued to let people with good natures wear white robes, preside over the affairs of the church on the bright side on weekdays, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, etc., so that the common people on the West Coast trust the GBL religion. And those who are evil in nature are dressed in black robes, and the area they are mainly responsible for is the ruins of the Holy See, engaged in the fusion and transformation of monsters, secretly accumulating power, of course, some people who are not good for Lotus himself or the GBL church are also dealt with by them.
I have to say that Lotus's wishful thinking is very good, but there is still a mystery in it, and this mystery is not even known to those who serve Lotus who are the most trusted or Rotus's favorite right-hand men, that is, when and where did Lotus fall to the ground and come to the Arad Continent? From the fifth ghost god, the Plague Rakshasa can we know that Rotus also came to the Arad Continent from space magic, but what is the purpose, and why has he endured it so far? You must know that the name of the Apostle of the Demon Realm is not covered, it represents the strongest strength of the Demon Realm, and as an Apostle, Lotus has the power to use the water element or the ice element, compared to the Demon Realm, the Arad Continent can be full of water sources, lakes and even vast and boundless seas. With the strength of Rotes, he can completely rely on the endless elemental power contained in this sea to fight against the peak of the Arad Continent and others, isn't this his purpose?
Now that the Arad continent is surging, the strong men who only existed in legends in the past have revealed their true identities, and these strong men are more or less surrounded by mysteries, maybe time can blow these mysteries away
