Chapter 231: The Beginning

Raphael looked around him and hugged Glori's delicate body, saying, "You can hate me, he is your father after all." ”

Gloria bit her lip and said, "If you don't hate, you don't hate, don't be verbose!"

While the people of the Holy Capital were busy preparing for the Rite of Light and the clergy meeting before the Feast, Avedis answered the prayer of the Pope of the Stars for the first time.

In the Temple of the Stars, the sacred place of the Lane Empire, Pope Ai Russia, who was wearing the robes of the Star Pattern, hurriedly came out of the Temple of Prayer, and did not settle down until he stood on the high steps in front of the temple, his resolute and handsome face with a hint of joy.

Rodritte, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly greeted him, but the many temple guards around him scattered a little, and it was not a good thing to hear things that should not be heard.

Ero looked at Rodritte, a son who was not only quite talented, but also blonde and blue-eyed like him.

Satisfied in his heart, Ai Rushua said: "As a deacon star envoy, you should not only care about the situation in the empire, but also pay attention to the situation in the surrounding countries, look at how well Faolo has done, his family has taken back the Majesty Scepter, which is a huge blow to the Holy Light Church." ”

The clergy of the Star Church is almost the same as that of the Holy Light Church, and even the Inquisition is modeled after the Holy Light Church, but the high position of the priesthood is still a little different from the Holy Light Church.

From high to low, there are popes, elders, deacons, elders, bishops, saints, deacons, priests, clergy, etc.

However, in order to intervene in the aristocratic forces, the Star Church is allowed to marry and have children, and they are actually no different from the nobles, otherwise the Lane Empire would not be nicknamed the Double Emperor.

Rodritte is the eldest son of the Pope, and after listening to Faoro's advice, he easily collected a lot of power in the Lane Empire, and some small means were used remarkably, so that he was favored by Ai Russia and obtained such a prominent position as a deacon star envoy.

Ai Russia's words made Rodriten feel very helpless, he didn't work hard, but unfortunately he was disturbed, so he said: "Yes, I will pay attention." Recently, the Magic Guild has been in turmoil, and the branch leader of St. Vid is very old, I heard that this old man has not been in good health recently, I know a druid master, and there is almost no flaw in changing his appearance, how about I go to St. Vid to be a fighter mentor?"

Ai Russia is not too old, and the juniors have time to toss and have more experience, so he said: "It's okay, the magic guild is also not low in Lane, if you can get a place in the magic guild, it's good." ”

Rodriten said softly: "Your Majesty, look at your hurried expression just now, if you have any response." ”

According to the rules of the Star Church, it is okay to get married and have children, but relatives call each other priests, which seems to reflect that they are all pious servants of the Most High God.

Ai Russia smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, prepare the best saintess, useful! ”

Although the Supreme God asked Ai Russia not to make a noise, but Rodriten is his son after all, he is tantamount to telling Rodritte that there is about to come, but it will not be made public, as for who is coming, he really dare not say this, Rodriten loves to guess as much as he wants.

Rodritte's eyes lit up, and he said tentatively: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it to ensure that no one will notice." Whether or not to arrange the best earth-based saints. ”

Ai Russia smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the appearance is not important, it will change, understand?"

Rodritte's heart became slightly excited, and he agreed, and hurriedly went to do it.

The Star Church is stronger, and naturally the people in the church have more status, let alone him.

That night, the Temple of the Stars lit up with a faint golden hue that went unnoticed in the middle of the night, and the Church of the Stars has since had a deacon named Avril Avril.

The deacon, the Star Emissary, was unobtrusive, and left the Temple of the Stars only after the church was revealed.

A few days later, the conference hall of the Holy Light Sect was full of people, and there was an endless stream of clergy of all levels coming in and out.

The conference hall is very large, the whole hall is actually open, the outer circle is a huge carved column, countless low-level priests outside the hall to observe, but it is better to say that it is to protect their respective sect leaders by force, because these priests not only form a formation, but also wear weapons and equipment.

As for the real ordinary clergy who want to sit in on it, then don't dream, the hierarchy is equally clear in every system.

The seats in the hall were arranged in such a strange way that almost every leader sat in one place, and the meeting hall was clearly demarcated in the shape of a flower petal, and a large circular open space was formed in the center of the hall.

There are a number of polling booths in the open space, and a public mirror circle.

St. Paul sat at the papal seat, and behind him was arguably full of his supporters, regardless of region or office.

Clark and Gloria each had a petal, and the same was true.

There are already a lot of people behind Glori, but most of them are real ascetics, these people are only religious, they don't care what the situation is in the church, they don't care if Gloria has any other identity, they only think that Gloria has found the artifact and received divine grace.

The ascetics were officially divided into two factions, and sitting behind Gloria seemed to Raphael to be crooked melons and cracked fruits, as if they were all malnourished, old, young, and ugly, while sitting behind Aris were all fat-faced, red-faced, red-lipped and white-toothed.

Raphael and the people of the Inquisition also sat together, forming one of the many petals, and Teresie was no longer a goddess, she and Raphael sat next to Glasius on the left and right.

Raphael looked at the large open space and muttered, "It's just a gladiatorial arena." ”

Grasius laughed and said, "Originally, I just don't know who will win this gladiatorial fight." ”

Raphael's eyes rolled and said, "Conspiracy is not as good as conspiracing." ”

Grasius said, "Huh, and the idea of a conspiracy?"

Raphael said: "Of course, conspiracy, deceit, viciousness, discord, and unreasonableness, in case of failure, will become a weakness for others to attack." Yang Mou, upright, to force people, to force people, to force people, to lure people, to convince people with virtue, to emotional people, etc., only need to attack, do not need to defend. ”

Grasius said: "It makes sense, and lo and behold, the one who took advantage of the situation came." ”

"Ho ho, Grasius, you're really not polite, Raphael, why haven't I heard you say such a reasonable thing before?"

Joyla, who was wearing an artifact robe, actually ran to the chief position of the inquisition and got into a nonsense with Raphael, who could only smile and deal with Joyla under the flickering gaze of São Paulo.

After a few idle words, Joyla suddenly leaned into Raphael's ear, regardless of whether this gesture was a little ambiguous, handed a necklace to Raphael under the table, and said in a very soft voice: "Yangmou, I like it, I think it's better for you to do this, what do you think? You are my man." ”

Raphael shuddered, and looked around sneakily, but fortunately, everyone else was sitting far away, and no matter how high his strength was, he couldn't hear this, and probably Grasius on the side heard it.

Taking the necklace, Raphael also suppressed his voice and said, "You are crazy, you dare to say this kind of thing." ”

Joyla said, "St. Paul can have daughters, what do I dare not say, huh? How about it? Do you do it? Let me tell you, the situation where you pounced on it, but there is a mirror image." ”

The corners of Raphael's eyes jumped, and he said, "Those vines, the devil believes them, and you dare to show others what you look like?"

Joyla's eyes widened, and she said, "What don't you dare! All I have to say is that you used some kind of secret potion, and as for the vines, you can release any kind of magic, and so many people have seen the battle in the Inquisition. Yangmou, I like it so much. ”

Raphael really didn't discover the mirror magic at the time, but it was not surprising, it was probably Joyla who prepared it before he went in, so there was no fluctuation when the magic circle was activated, and some magic once it was running, it fluctuated very little, just like mirror magic. He said: "Yang Mou is a fart, you are a conspiracy, you will hurt the enemy by a thousand, and you will lose yourself by 800." ”

Joyla said indifferently: "What do you know! As long as you have a reason, it is a conspiracy, just like this necklace." It's okay not to do it, maybe after the ceremony, I can kill my own man with my own hands, and this can still kill the mouth, but it's not bad. ”

Raphael's face changed, and he said with a relieved expression: "Doing this is exactly what I want!"

Joyla let out a chuckle under her mask and continued softly, "That's pretty much it!

After saying this, she glanced at Glasius, and then saw that the priests were almost there, and then left her seat in the inquisition and returned to her place.

Grasius smiled and said, "It seems that you are not very smart, the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous." However, it's worth it, such a woman is beyond the reach of most men in their lifetime, and it's nothing to suffer a loss. Tell you secretly, I've let go of a lot of beauty heresies, old man, hehe. ”

Raphael looked at him in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a taste for life, oh, but too, otherwise you wouldn't have planted so many flowers." ”

Glasius laughed: "Of course, do you think I know how to kill old man?"

Raphael thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to Clark." ”

Grasius nodded and said, "Since you are sure, go ahead." ”

Clark's handsome face was much older, with a few more wrinkles, but he was obviously in a good mood, because the Supreme God didn't blame him, so what was he afraid of, and he even glanced around the crowd on the ground, meaning that there was any means, just come.

At this moment, Raphael walked over to Clark.

Clark's pupils shrank slightly, what is this bastard doing at this time?

Raphael walked up to the head of Clark's gang and said to the guards beside Clark, "I have something to tell your lord, give me a flash to the side." ”

Clark was almost wiped out by Andina under **, and those guards were all newly gathered by Clark, they only knew that Raphael was the chief referee, so they naturally obediently gave up their seats.

No matter how tense the situation in the church is, if you don't see the dagger, what danger can there be, and who dares to use force here?

Raphael, in Grad's vicious eyes, reached out and put his hand on Clark's shoulder, and said, "Boss, aren't you welcome me here?"

Clark also didn't think that Raphael would dare to use force here, nor would he dodge, otherwise the scene would be ugly, he waved his hand to keep his men away, and said to Raphael: "Take your hand away, you bastard, do we have such a good relationship? Don't think that the identity of the referee is great, you don't have a priesthood!"

Raphael not only didn't let go of his hand, but also put his head in front of Clark and said, "You and I are both ambitious and lost the bet, what kind of enmity do you have? Well, I'll see, oh, the guy who didn't like me was gone, I'm afraid he'd die, right?"

This is not that Raphael is talking nonsense, he never puts hatred first, otherwise he will only become a fool carried away by hatred, and he will not be able to look at and analyze the enemy calmly and rationally.

Clark knew that Raphael was talking about the air rider fighter, and sneered, "Well, I have a lot of men." It's just right that this guy died, but he went to Oro Ling, so I don't have to kill myself, and thank you very much. ”

Raphael pursed his lips and said, "People who hold too much grudges can't achieve great things." ”

Clark said softly, "You can't support me, I know very well, Joira's slut has a good relationship with you, right?

Raphael also said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, do you think that everyone else has your ability? Can you go to the bed of the cardinal? Anyway, wait for us to have a fight, and it's convenient to sit together, how do you think we can scuffle later? I heard that when there are small-scale meetings, people often scuffle together, hehe, this meeting doesn't have to be opened, this method sounds a little ridiculous, but after a few times, this matter will be over." ”

Raphael's words scratched Clark's itch, which was the most proud thing for him, and he never could tell others about it, so he suddenly felt very comfortable in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you ask me to beat you, I will agree." ”

Raphael said: "Okay, my situation is not in your favor, but the Supreme God doesn't blame you, but it's okay, don't slap your face." ”

Clark squeezed his hands on the table with each other, made a knotted click, and smiled, "No problem, hehe." ”

Raphael took a breath and said, "This, you can't hit it too hard." ”

Karak smiled even more heartily and said, "Well, that's fine." ”

The two of them were just there and talking nonsense.

For the first time, St. Paul's papal seat was a cut above the rest, and for the first time St. Paul felt a little uncomfortable, and he felt like a holy target, and he raised a hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Seeing that the tens of thousands of clergy in the council hall were silent, St. Paul announced: "The ten-year celebration of the Holy Light is about to take place, and the celebration is preceded by the Synod of the Holy Canon, which is officially opened in the name of the Most High God. First of all, the directors of each place report on the academic affairs. ”

As soon as the words fell, Aris charged, regardless of whether the first one was unfavorable or not, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to report on the academic affairs at this academic council, these affairs are often reported, I think that at the holy canon meeting, it is better to solve important matters, I think we should first hold the Oran Empire accountable for the major matter of canceling the state religion." ”

When Aris finished speaking, the room became quieter, and everyone looked at St. Paul.

This damn Arris, after being divided by Gloria with a lot of ascetics, is still restless, and has recently attracted a lot of local forces in the church, St. Paul was slightly angry in his heart, and said: "The affairs of the Orlan Empire are to discuss how to deal with them, but not accountability, and Cardinal Clarke's purpose is to be pious." ”

Joyla's pleasant voice sounded: "Piety? Ordinary clergymen make small mistakes because of their piety, which is understandable and cannot be regarded as a sin, but Clark is a cardinal archbishop, and he must bear his responsibility, and making such a serious mistake is already a sin against the supreme god! ”

Clark sneered and said, "The Most High God is merciful, and he does not blame the pious servant, Cardinal Joyla, on what basis do you say that you are guilty? I see that His Majesty and Cardinal Aristus have been held accountable by the Supreme God, so that is considered a crime, right?" These words dragged both Arris and St. Paul on the ground, trying to muddy the waters by this matter.

Alis immediately shot back: "It's Orlan's problem now, don't get involved in anything else." I think Cardinal Clark has indeed committed a great sin, which is greed, not piety!"

St. Paul was angry in his heart, did this Clark also want to get the most out of this meeting, and actually implicated himself, but he still had to defend Clarke, so he said: "Only talk about the question of Oran, but, Cardinal Arris, whether it is greed or not is only your personal opinion, not the truth." ”

Aris said, "Well, if it is greed or not, let the priests present vote on whether they should ask the oracle or not! ”

It's not a good thing to carry an oracle on your back, Clark said: "The supreme gods are not accountable, what other oracles are needed?

Joyla said: "The Supreme God only said that the affairs of the church are handled by the mortals, but he does not say that Cardinal Clark is not guilty!"

As a new cardinal, Gloria didn't want to participate, she didn't even want to help St. Paul, she just wanted to be neutral as a goddess, because her supporters were basically ascetics at the moment, and these people had a very bad opinion of St. Paul.

Unfortunately, at the request of the ascetics around her, Gloria had no choice but to say, "Yes, Cardinal Clarke's actions are indeed improper. ”

Aris hurriedly said: "It is indeed a sin to hinder the spread of the glory of the Supreme God by making such a grave mistake, and we ascetics believe that this does not require an oracle, and should be regarded as an apostasy directly! )
