Session 1: Brilliance (M)

Kindness and affection, permeated on the face of the rotating bishop, faded away, replaced by a lack of anger and self-authority.

"Commissioner of Andorra, when I call you so, I am the current rotating bishop of the Radiant Church, and I am the most majestic, just, and powerful symbol of power in the world who controls the five institutions of the Radiant Churchβ€”do you think that private speech can influence my decision?"

"Yes...... But......" Andorra's commissioner's face turned red, and it was only then that he realized how foolish his impulse was, but, since he was already standing on this terrace, since he had opened his mouth, he had to finish what he wanted to say: "Did the tens of thousands of lives in the town of Harvey die in vain and without any explanation?

"I think the report makes it clear that they were killed by the fanatics of the evil Dawn Council. The Bishop said calmly: "May their souls return to the embrace of the true God, and we will miss them, our brothers and sisters." ”

Listening to His Majesty's words, the Andorran Commissioner was not heartbroken, nor was he disheartened, he would have come to meet him with indignation when he first heard the news, but that was all, let alone face His Crown's questioning, he did not even think of a specific reason for attacking the Ninth Apostle.

At the same time, he also understands that he does not have the energy to seek justice for the victims of Harvey, and he has no way to change the text of the report, and the rotating bishop will only act on the words of the report.

"Your Majesty's words, I understand. The Andorran commissioner looked up and said in a low voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I am very uncomfortable, I can't figure it out......"

You are the Commissioner of Andorra, and if you want to exercise your duties and fulfill the will of the true God, you must figure it out. The bishop leaned forward and slowed his tone: "Child, I am old, the priests who travel with me are old, and the Radiant Church is gradually needing the younger generation to exercise its power and responsibility, and one day you or some of you will stand on this terrace and grasp the most powerful and sharp power in this world." Impulsive, one-sided, superficial compassion will be your mortal enemy. ”

Under the guidance of the Bishop, the expression of the Commissioner of Andorra can be described as sluggish - he had no idea why His Majesty the Bishop would say such a thing, he was just a clerk at the end of a crane, and he had no relatives or reasons for him.

"Go, my child, I'm tired. His Majesty seemed to realize that he had lost his temper, and he put his body back into the crooked chaise longue: "For the sake of your precious righteousness, and for the doubts in your heart, I have given you the mission of privately consulting the Ninth Apostle. Go, my child, and may the true God visit you. ”

......This time, the Andorran commissioner quickly understood, and he bowed deeply to the old man in front of him with gratitude: "I will always remember the generosity and love that His Majesty gave me today." Your Majesty, please allow me to retire. ”

The residence of the Ninth Apostle is just north of the Radiant Holy City, on the shores of a lake with a beautiful view. An hour later, the Andorran commissioner walked out of the gate in a dejected state, with the colorful petals of the banquet on his shoulders and a small piece of cake in his hand, but he looked so depressed that he even ignored the cute little girl who stood by the door to greet him.

His eyes were swelling with anger, his hands were trembling slightly, and the cream on the cake was tossed and dropped to the floor, sticking to the corners of his robe.

"Priest, are you alright?" A pair of strong hands held the Andorran commissioner to save him from hitting the tree, and the moment he was supported, the expression on the commissioner's face became more complicated, with pain, grievance, doubt and confusion.

"Are you alright, priest?" asked the man holding the commissioner.

"Oh - I'm fine, no problem. The Andorran commissioner, who was in a trance, finally recovered some of his state, and he recognized the man who was holding him, who seemed to be the archknight of the guard of the rotating bishop: "Forgive me, knight, you have something to look for me?"

"Priest, have you forgotten that you stormed the castle?" the Grand Knight smiled at him, "Your Excellency is very generous, but you have been reported to the Little Ashram because everyone has seen your actions today." ”

"Could it be...... It's ......" The Andorran Commissioner's expression showed signs of ice, and it was clear that he had thought of a very bad word.

"Priest, please don't insult me from the bottom of your heart. This is the Radiant Holy City, I am the guardian knight under the bishop's crown, and under the creed, there is no shadow. The Great Knight's face twitched, but he was a little helpless: "You don't have to be suspicious, I will explain the situation to the Great Professor, and it is likely that you will only be punished for copying a book." ”

"It should be, it should be. "Accompanied by the Grand Knight, the Andorran commissioner walked to the small ashram.

The ashram, which is an ordinary name, is not very well-known. But within the Radiant Church, especially in the Radiant Holy City, this is a very powerful institution.

Strictly speaking, not only in the Shining Holy City, but also in every diocese and branch of the Church, there is a corresponding ashram - which is responsible for identifying, arbitrating, and disciplining those inside. When the junior priests enter, most of them are only reprimanded and punished, while the senior priests enter, more than half of them cannot get out, and they will never get out.

So the higher the level, the greater the deterrent effect of the ashram. But on the other hand, the scale will be smaller.

When the Andorran commissioner and the Grand Knight entered the gates of the small ashram side by side, they saw a very absurd scene in the most terrifying place in the holy city.

A dozen low-ranking monks mingled in the courtyard, including men and women, and some wriggling and rolling on the ground.

"Silence!" The Grand Knight was furious, and his hand holding his sword trembled, "What are you doing!?"

The low-level monks in the fight turned their heads one after another, and when they saw two high-ranking people standing by the door, they didn't know what to do for a while, and they even maintained an annoying posture.

"Two Great-Primordial Gods protect them. A young and innocent priestess came up and saluted ten paces away, and said politely, "Returning to the two lords, we have just found evidence of a treacherous and demonic collusion, and we must not use violence to prevent him from destroying the evidence. ”

"Rebellion, evidence of collusion with demons?" the Andorran commissioner repeated the words of the priestess, his heart full of doubts: "How did you find out about this kind of thing? What kind of demons can collude with the priests in the Radiant Holy City!"
