Chapter 246: Priesthood

Decora had a gloomy face and said: "My lord, the church country is about to become a holy place for ascetics, but it will no longer become the center of the church, Gloria has the support of ascetics, and will definitely become the cardinal archbishop of the Holy Land. ”

Raphael's heart moved, this is a good way, but the cardinal archbishop of the Lane Empire is a dangerous position, so he said: "There is no benefit to being the red bishop of the Lane Empire." ”

Decora hurriedly said, "My lord, it's always an identity, and it's a kind of support for us, so others don't dare to touch us easily, and in the Lane Empire, adults may not be able to develop." Because the Star Church and the nobles fought too hard. ”

Raphael smiled, "Decora, it's better for you to be the head." ”

Decora exclaimed, "No, no, my lord, it's better to be Lucia, she's intimate with you." ”

Raphael scolded, "You bastard. ”

Decora sneered, "We'll always give her ideas, it doesn't matter who is in charge." ”

Rafael touched his chin and said, "If that's the case, Joyla will definitely put someone in as the deputy referee." ”

Sorenzo said nonchalantly: "My lord, as long as the leader of our inquisition holds us tightly, others will not dare to do anything to us, we have understood this truth many years ago. And according to the doctrine, according to the rules of the Inquisition, the presiding judge is always chosen by ourselves. ”

Raphael nodded and said, "Lucia, how are the personnel of the Inquisition arranged?"

Lucia smiled: "The main leaders of the inquisition offices from all over the country have come to the Holy Capital for this meeting, and I have recruited one or two more reliable leaders of each branch, and there are also empty riders, except for more than twenty people who don't seem to be very reliable, almost all of the others have been pulled in, as for the rest of the people, I don't dare to move for the time being, I have to investigate slowly." Now, everyone involved knows our rules. ”

Raphael's new rule is simple, that is, those who betray will be hunted down by everyone in the Inquisition until they are exterminated, which is a bit similar to the pirate, called the rule of revenge.

However, Raphael did not worry much about betrayal.

The families of these referees do not know each other, they are placed separately, they will not be implicated in each other, and they are also very safe in terms of identity, and they can be completely protected by the territory. Even if you really happen to be recognized by an acquaintance, you just need to transfer it again and change places.

The territory that the Dawning family can coordinate is no more than a silver wolf territory, as well as the territory of other underground races and dwarves who believe in the Church of Dawning.

Raphael can even talk to Andina if needed and ask Andina for remote land.

The Orlan Empire is controlled by administrators in remote lands, and of course it is unknown whether Andina will beat him up.

Raphael couldn't help but wander, thinking of Andina, he shuddered for a moment before he came back to his senses and said: "It's enough, no one will betray easily, because their family will have a lot of opportunities, just keep this ratio." ”

While they were deliberating, there was a knock on the door.

After receiving permission, Jack, the chief of the house, walked in and reported, "My lord, Joyla is going to hold a small meeting, and only the biggest head of the sect will be gathered, and you and the three deputy referees have also been invited. ”

Raphael smiled and said: "I know, I will call Your Majesty in the future, although loyalty is not in words, there are still necessary rules." ”

Jack said, "Understood, sir. ”

Raphael smiled slightly and said, "The cake sharing meeting has begun, and it seems that I don't need to find Aris alone." ”

Now that the church is safe, it doesn't really matter if you don't bring a guard, so Raphael only took the three vice-referees to the meeting.

After the four of them arrived at a small conference hall, the important religious capital was there.

The luxurious artifact robe that Joyla had been wearing as a papal robe lately, but she didn't wear it today, and she stretched out her hand to gesture that Raphael and the others were seated across from Aris and Glori.

When Gloria saw Raphael, her silver eyes were full of tenderness, and she smiled slightly, as if to signal him to stop thinking about St. Paul.

This girl has already started to take revenge on herself, right? Raphael's eyes were full of affection and he looked at Glori.

Aris looked at Raphael's look, smiled at Raphael, and said softly: "Raphael, please don't worry about yesterday's incident, my idea is wrong." ”

Raphael nodded slightly, he didn't have a good impression of Arris, even if Aris insisted on destroying the church, which was good for Audella.

Therefore, although Decora's proposal is good, he does not want to support Arris, otherwise the affairs of the Orlan Empire are likely to become unpredictable because of Arris, and at present, most of Audrey's interests are in the Orlan Empire.

The old man Phalius first smiled and said, "Raphael, before the meeting, I suggest that you hurry up and find some women and have a few children. ”

The old man was in a good mood, so he made such a joke, most of St. Paul's men were attracted by promises and gold coins, and they were not so concerted, after St. Paul's death, these subordinates all went to the sect leaders separately, and Faleus's strength was also strengthened a little.

The people in the conference hall laughed, and only when they were all the great sect leaders, would anyone make such jokes, and they called each other more casually.

Joyla also chuckled, not pretending, these people are powerful and have a deep understanding of the church, there is really no need to pretend.

She said, "Yes, Raphael, Aris has apologized to you, because you killed St. Paul in time, so that the bloodshed of the Holy See continued, this time you have merit, I am afraid you will have to take up the priesthood." ”

Everyone is accustomed to being called St. Paul, and no one deliberately removes Paul's holy name, and even if it is announced to the public, for the sake of the face of the church, this holy name will still be displayed.

Raphael shrugged his shoulders and said with a holy face: "Your Majesty, I am willing to dedicate my body and mind to the great supreme god. ”

Fork, I didn't see that this kid was so good at pretending, and he was terrible in the future.

The opinion of the people present about Raphael completely changed, and they all thought that Raphael would make a few jokes along the way, young man.

Joyla glanced at Raphael before saying, "You can look at the documents in your hand, the church has lost so many manpower this time, and there will be big changes." If there are different opinions, you can discuss them again. ”

Everyone at the conference table immediately picked up the documents in their hands and flipped through them.

Raphael looked carefully, the old man Phalius was no longer the commander, and was officially promoted to the priesthood and became the cardinal archbishop of the Oran Empire, including the two legion captains under Faleus, who were also appointed as privy deacons of the Oran Empire.

However, the price paid by this old man was naturally to completely hand over the Knights Templar to Joyla's people.

Under the appointment of Pharyus, there was a series of changes in the list of Templar leaders.

Raphael glanced at Faleus and found that the old man was not displeased, I am afraid that in private he also accepted Joyla's other conditions, and for the church, after all, the clergy are the mainstream, and the armed forces can only be the sword in the hands of the clergy, indeed, Faleus is not unhappy.

Raphael continued to look at it, and sure enough, the church center will be moved to Lordaeron, and the armed forces will be brought with him, presumably the emperor of Lordaeron will be extremely frightened in the future.

This duke-sized church has since been called the land of monks, and Gloria was appointed as the cardinal archbishop of the land of monks, of course, this is absolutely impossible for all cultivators, to put it bluntly, this is just to stabilize the hearts of St. Paul's original subordinates, and a large number of people naturally followed Gloria after St. Paul's death.

But there are still conditions for this, that is, the Church has newly established an army of ascetics, this legion will be in the hands of Joyla, and will follow Joyla to Lordaeron, on the surface, Gloria has little force, of course, this is only the surface.

This time, the people around Gloria were naturally promoted, and even small people like Gina became priests in the land of cultivators.

Then came the appointment of Arris, who was undoubtedly the smallest in strength now, and this time was undoubtedly sidelined and appointed as the cardinal archbishop of the Lane Empire.

In just one night, Arris's inflammatory followers leaned towards Glorius, because it was clear that Glorius was going to take care of them next, and these so-called ascetics were not stupid, and the rest of the church was not optimistic about Arris, and they all thought that he had made a fool of himself in the Feast of Light.

Alis now had few men other than a few of his cronies, and it was probably for this reason that he wisely gave up attacking Raphael.

Raphael glanced at Aris again, and the guy took out a silk scarf, wiped his bald head, and then looked pious and had no opinion.

Continuing to look on, Raphael saw his appointment, well, Cardinal Lordaeron, which is probably the meaning of a puppet, completely shrouded in Joira's emerald green eyes and snow-white delicate body.

The Inquisition was to be placed as the Deputy Chief Referee, and the entire Inquisition Headquarters was to follow to Lordaeron.

It seems that Joyla has learned the lesson of St. Paul's and is determined to take the whole church to the death.

Joyla is really powerful, and these arrangements leave little room for refutation.

Whoever really has an opinion, it is estimated that he will face a stormy blow next, just look at Alex's attitude, even this guy does not dare to have an opinion at all.

Raphael suddenly found that after such a mess, if nothing else, the church would become extremely powerful at least in Lundan, and it seemed that the cohesion was higher, and he suddenly found that he underestimated Joyla, who did not develop the church in the whole continent with lofty ambitions, but like a real aristocracy, the first thing was to gather power.

Even if the church changes again in the future, Lordaeron will be able to maintain the light and become a unique system.

Looking at the documents in his hand, there was a long list of job changes, and Raphael was not interested in reading it, and raised his head.

At this time, Joy laughed and said, "The Holy Capital will be moved to the Cairol Territory of Lordaeron, and the Cairoll Territory will be crowned with the Holy Word in the future." Aris, this time it is your wish, you have always been very devout to the Supreme God, and the believers of the Lane Empire need a pure sincere person like you to lead. ”

Joyla's name can be holy, but her family can't, and now her entire family is holy.

Aris smiled, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is my glory to spread glory to my Lord. ”

Joyla added: "I believe everyone has no opinion, but the inquisition will not have a cardinal archbishop in the future, this is a long time ago, the chief judge of the inquisition did not have a priesthood, in fact, it is not appropriate for the chief judge to serve as a priest." Raphael, you're okay with that. ”

The Inquisition, which was not a formal institution of the church at the earliest, has always claimed to be an apologetic organization spontaneously formed by pious people, but after so many years of development, everyone knows about this institution, and then it is simply above board, but it is really not appropriate to set up a priesthood, there will be a priesthood, which is the result of the struggle of the church in the past.

Raphael hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty." ”

Joyla pressed step by step: "Well, the director of the Inquisition has always been elected by the Inquisition itself, which is stipulated by the supreme doctrine, and I will not change it, but, Raphael, I think Brooke is very good, he has always been the Templar leader of a large city-state in Lordaeron, and he has also become the Chosen Knight, and he has the strength of a junior Divine Light Fighter, Brooke, stand up and let everyone know." ”

A handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes stood up at the bottom of the seat, looking to be in his early thirties, but he was actually in his fifties, because of his strength.

Respectfully making a knightly salute, Brooke said, "Greetings to all the lords." ”

The crowd nodded at him, and Brooke sat down again, in a completely military style.

Joyla added: "Brooke is good at solving any unexpected problem and has a lot of experience. ”

Rafael smiled: "I think the Inquisition will definitely support Brooke." ”

Joyla looked at Raphael for a while, then raised a ring on his hand, and said: "All the Pope's credentials are in this ring, including the artifact canon, I hope someone can find a way to calm the spiritual imprint of the ring as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be able to officially issue the oracle appointment letter, which will affect the stability of the church, and will also affect the holding of the Holy Light Ceremony, which has been delayed for a long time!"

Joyla's inability to convene the Rite of Light after taking office certainly had an impact on her prestige.

When Alis heard this, his eyes flashed and said: "Your Majesty, the people in the Inquisition are very familiar with people in various professions, maybe they have a way, I think whoever can untie St. Paul's ring can become the chief judge!"

So everyone has a chance to put their hand in the inquisition?

There were no high-ranking personnel in the courtroom, and there were always some low-level personnel, but everyone did not speak, but looked at Raphael, obviously hoping that he would agree.

Alis would interject, and Joyla was surprised, which was a coincidence, and no one else had to bring it up, but Aris must have someone in the Inquisition, could this guy also open the ring?

Well, even if there is, if you want to open the ring, you always have to show it in front of you, and you are not afraid that things will get out of control, but Joyla did not follow Arris's meaning, but said: "After all, the referee must have experience and control, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this." ”

Aris's eyes flashed, and he said: "You can allow all the members of the court to participate, these people are basically familiar with the court, they should all have experience, Your Majesty, no one has ever been able to calm the spiritual imprint of the space ring, strong destruction, will cut off the space connection, it is not easy to do this." The people in the Inquisition are familiar with all walks of life, and this is to make them dedicated. ”

The vice president of the court does not want to be promoted to the main position, but for outsiders, they only see the prominent position of the chief referee, but they cannot see the crisis behind it.

This damn bald head, I don't need to be so exaggerated as the referee, right?Brooke clenched his fists under the table, he was so angry that he was just making trouble for him.

However, as soon as he thought about it, it would not be easy to untie the ring, and Aris would certainly come up with a bunch of reasons next, but he did not argue, but spoke and seduced: "Your Excellency Cardinal Archbishop Arris, what if no one can find it?"

Aris looked at Raphael, then at Glori, smiled, and said lightly: "Then I'm afraid the only way to ask for an oracle, the Supreme God has come, and it can always be solved." Otherwise, with the spiritual imprint of St. Paul, I am afraid that this ring will not be untied for three months. ”

Glori's face changed visibly, and her eyes seemed to look at Raphael with a hint of help.

Raphael's heart was shocked, and he felt pity when he looked at the sorrow in Glori's shining silver, and he cursed Arris, a damned dark believer, only he knew that Aris purely wanted to provoke any fighting in the church, but there was no evidence for this, he could only look at Joyla.

Although Alis suddenly intervened in this matter, it was quite in line with Joyla's idea.

Glancing at Raphael, Joyla said with an embarrassed expression: "At most a month, you can use the excuse that the church temple needs to be renovated, if it is not possible, then 。。。。。。 ”

Raphael said: "Okay, that's it, whoever can find a way to untie the ring will become the new chief magistrate, and when the ring is untied, I will officially step down, and the current inquisition is still in my charge." The next discussion of my three vice-referees did not need to attend, their opinions were replaced by me, the matter was urgent, and I asked them to go to the court now to give orders. ”

The leaders agreed, knowing full well that Raphael was about to become a puppet cardinal archbishop, and that no one in the church would lean towards Raphael at all, except for Raphael's inquisition, so Raphael would not have any problem with the decisions of the council.

The rules of the inquisition are almost not transferred out, except for the chief referee, no one else can intervene in the competition for the priesthood. (To be continued.) )
