Chapter 190: Investigation
Rodara, who had just looked reluctant, had forgotten about Raphael, and she wrote with great interest.
On the side street outside the house, Raphael looked at the map and found it very rough.
The Thieves' Guild must have a more detailed map, Raphael thought for a moment, and then turned back to the small mansion.
"Little Loro, what are you writing a love letter?" Raphael snatched Rodanla's notes.
Rodara's writing was happy, but she really didn't notice that Raphael entered the small building again.
Raphael flipped through his notes as he dodged Rodara's snatch.
This note has completely recorded the ** turbulent events, but the last line reads:
Raphael, a fool, has officially become the first unlucky guy in history from the moment he left **! The reason is: he lost his status by rolling the sheets with the empress, and he should be nailed to the pillar of shame!
Suddenly, black lines covered Raphael's little face.
Regret it, I shouldn't have told this chick!
Is it a historical disgrace, or a disgrace to men?
Rodara's notes are snatched back and hidden behind her, ho-ho. Ho ho. Smirk.
Raphael exclaimed: "Little Loro, you can't distort history, it's not like that!"
Luo Danla crossed his waist with one hand, his small body was full of momentum, stared at the big red eyes, and said: "History is written by the winner, you are the loser, and I am the winner!"
Raphael said with a dark face: "At least it has nothing to do with the sheets!"
"It's related!" Rodanla insisted.
"It's okay!" Raphael glared.
"It's related! It's related... "Rodara's ear was tormented by a spell.
Raphael's face changed, and he said with a holy face: "It can be seen that you like history very much, and as a great historian, you must respect history!"
Rodanla crossed her waist with one hand and smeared notes on the table with the other, her crooked braids swaying with her big head, and she exclaimed, "History is a rag, I can wipe the table with him!"
Is that okay?
Raphael was utterly defeated.
After getting the map, he left in a gloomy way.
The spacious and bright council of the Holy Capital Temple is full of people, and hundreds of clergy hold clergy meetings here.
St. Paul sat on the top of the heightened chief, looking at the chaotic guys below, and his heart was irritated.
Clark has a problem, although no one can say that Clark is a close confidant of St. Paul, and St. Paul should be responsible, but no matter what goes wrong with the church, St. Paul is also responsible.
The so-called meeting of the Holy Metropolitan Priests, in fact, is a meeting that only people above the Bishop of the Holy Metropolis can attend, St. Paul was bored to listen to, looked at the exquisite angel statues on both sides of the conference hall, looked at the meeting, and looked at the dignified sitting Gloria below, and Luo Fei, who patted the sycophants next to Derecy, provoked Deresy to giggle regardless of the seriousness of the meeting, and scolded in his heart: Little scoundrel, no one will let go.
After Teresy had divine powers, she naturally received the attention of the ascetics, and the ascetics jointly recommended Teressy, who was elected as the goddess and bishop, and was no longer the leader of the air cavalry.
With her powers, Teresy was strangely unable to re-contract with the Pet, so she didn't find it interesting to ride in the air, and she didn't care, so she was also attending the meeting, and she sat next to Glori.
Luo Fei will not provoke Gloria on this occasion, Derecy's appearance in the Holy Capital has long attracted his attention, he likes Deresy very much, but this kind of liking is not between men and women, he just thinks that Deresy is very cute, and he wants to be close to Derecy.
Luo Fei himself wondered why he felt this way, but he wouldn't admit it, and he still talked about it.
An ascetic-born privy deacon sitting there suddenly shouted: "Holy war! Holy war with the Orlan Empire! They dare to offend the majesty of the Supreme God! Clark is too weak, he should stretch out his neck for those nobles to chop off, as a sign of devotion to the Supreme God! Your Majesty, you must not be weak, you must let the Holy Light of the Supreme God shine on the continent, and you must not allow this kind of thing to happen! In addition, I think, Clark must be severely punished!"
He was secretly accusing St. Paul of not managing the church well, and he was also accusing Clark of not simply dying so that the church would get more excuses.
The Privy Deacon's words immediately drew a large number of people in agreement.
St. Paul was even more annoyed in his heart, he knew very well that these bastards here fully understood that the holy war may not be won, because once the war starts, God knows if other empires will take the opportunity to launch it, but these bastards don't care, they just want to start a war, then they will definitely be able to reap the benefits of it.
Still looking at Luo Fei, São Paulo suddenly felt that there was no difference between him and Luo Fei, they were just scoundrels.
Keep dragging.
He said, "What holy war?" Clark is still the cardinal archbishop, and the Orlan Empire has only abolished the state religion, and does not dare to ban the church, let alone expel it. The ordinary affairs of the Oran Church have no impact, so are we still afraid of the new small church? The lack of justification for the holy war will cause all the nobles on the mainland to revolt against the church, which is a disaster. As for whether Cardinal Clark is right or wrong, he can argue it, and wait for the Holy Light Ceremony to talk about it, and then dismiss the meeting. ”
An archbishop hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as for the affairs of Oran, then it must be discussed, otherwise it will not be conducive to the affairs of the Orlan Empire." ”
St. Paul's scoundrel went to the end, and said: "Cardinal Clark is still undecided, and naturally he is still in charge of Oran, in this case, what kind of Oran affairs are we talking about?" After speaking, he picked up the canon and left.
The leader of the ascetics, Ariz, did not say anything, he was not in a hurry. Grasius, the director of the Inquisition, sat near Dressy, teasing her from time to time, not caring about the church meetings.
St. Paul's maintenance of Clark caused the Holy Light Church to appear very weak to the outside world, and at this time, all the forces that were observing the Holy Light Church couldn't help it, especially the Demon God Cult.
As Raphael expected, the Night Alliance completely collapsed, and the Demon God Cult was exposed, and they set up many Demon God Temples in many cities in the south at the same time and began to preach publicly.
Andina was finally relieved that only the reaction of the Holy Light Church was her worst concern.
She didn't react to the appearance of the Demon God Cult and completely acquiesced.
Rodanra's Thieves' Guild also broke away from the Night Alliance, but they did not establish a church, and they already believed in the Dawn Cult in private.
After that, the empire blossomed, and all kinds of churches sprang up.
Since then, the Holy Light Church has to compete with many gods and cults in the Orlan Empire, and it will also be restricted by the aristocracy, although the Holy Light Sect is strong, but the force of each church is limited, and without the support of the nobles, it is difficult to restrict the development of other churches.
Fearing that the church would not be chaotic enough, Joyla of the Church of Light took the opportunity to issue a meeting to recognize the status of Empress Oran, and declared that Clark's inappropriate actions were only his personal actions, not the attitude of the Church of Light.
Joyla was befriending Andina, and she thought it didn't hurt.
When St. Paul found out, he almost died of anger, when will the cardinal archbishop be able to directly represent the church? So what else do you want him to do as the pope? Now it's okay, there is really no reason to fight jihad, and the church can at least threaten Andina and ask for benefits.
However, St. Paul did not publicly deny it, this time Clark's actions were completely private, and it did make the church very passive, and it would not hurt to maintain a good relationship with the new emperor of the Oran Empire.
Luminous City, is still the Demon God Cult, how can Louis really control the south far away from **, the new lords supported by Louis at that time, in fact, many of them are still people from the Demon God Cult, just like the lord of Luminous City, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he expressed his allegiance to the empress again, and he has been recognized by Andina.
Andina will approve because her idea is very simple, according to Raphael's proposal, she only needs to control the territory she has joined together, this is the real strength, and the rest of the joint pull can be done, and then strike when there is a chance.
Andina's territory no longer gives large pieces of land to the big nobles, but only to the small nobles A small piece of land, these nobles may have a high title, but there is not much land, and the nobles who get the most land are only a city-state, these are her backbone, and the territory also needs to be managed by these nobles.
And the merits of the great nobles, there are many corners of the empire, so I will give those.
At this time, the nobles of the small real leader have become directly loyal to Andina, completely dividing her camp, which is not against the rules, because all nobles are loyal to the emperor first, and then to the nobles, which is not considered a betrayal.
The small real nobles who got the land naturally supported her wholeheartedly, and she also replaced the generals in the army with these nobles, so that the real nobles under her did not dare to have an opinion.
As for the future, is there a perfect system? When the land is not scored, and the nobles are too greedy, the commoners may revolt. These are Raphael's exact words.
A large hotel in Luminous City is surrounded by guards, and there are only two people in the entire hotel.
The two men were both dressed in black robes, and they sat five meters apart in the lobby facing each other, and Hill took off his hood, revealing his old face, his appearance was very ordinary, with deep triangular eyes and a gray beard.
The man across from Hill also lifted his hood.
A gleam flashed in the old eye, and Hill laughed and said, "Haidt... Haidt... Hehehe, thank you so much, anyway, you have helped us a lot of Demon God Sect!"
Haight, of course, is the president of the Magic Guild, Higorat.
Higolat's fiery red hair was meticulously combed, and the skin on his face looked almost like that of a young man, three strands of fiery red whiskers fluttered slightly, and his eyes were blazing under his two thick eyebrows.
It's just that he looks very annoyed now, and he is opening a communication circle.
The person in the mirror image of the circle is unconventional, but it is Vera.
Highgolat ignored Hill and said to himself: "Vera, I asked you to be the president of the ** branch, I didn't ask you to play, you still support Andina, you... What do you tell me to say about you!"
Vera in the mirror image was lazily leaning on her staff, her lake-blue eyes glanced at Higolat, and said, "I don't want to take care of things, you have to let me be the branch president, I think you are long-winded, so I went." This is all Rayser's idea, do you think I should fight Rayser in **?"
Higolat's face distorted slightly, looking at Vera's soft figure in the mirror, his face turned gentle again, and said, "Vera, my dear little Vera, don't you want to be so detached from the world, okay? ”
Vera said lazily: "Please don't call little Vera, it's okay, someone has already called it." ”
Higolat's red-hot eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily, "Who? I'm going to interrupt his retreat!"
Hill watched Highgolat talking nonsense with Vera, but there was a cold sweat on his back, fortunately, someone stirred up the situation, and the princess won the victory, otherwise there was this guy Highgolat hidden behind the scenes, and the future of the Demon God Sect is estimated to be very bad, now, Maitz has failed, but the Demon God Sect has ushered in an unprecedented opportunity for development.
Hill also opened the communication circle, and after a while, the circle reacted, and Hill said, "Did you find it?"
In Hill's mirror illusion array, a charming woman with two cute sharp teeth at the corners of her mouth is reporting, the charming woman is very good at handling things, she also opened a magic circle on her side, and a mirror image also appeared on the magic circle, and the image of Raphael was shown in the mirror, which was actually the situation where Raphael kissed the princess in the palace.
The woman said: "Grandpa, the mirror image is far away, but it is not easy for our people to do this, the man in the mirror is called Raphael, this person caught our attention, we collected all the information about him, we found that he was the one who killed Matz, and he was the one who had contact with Clark, Louie, and Andina before the ** change, of course, he also had contact with Lord Joyla, oh, Joyla, but I don't know what they said, well, he also had contact with Vera, and it is rumored that he has a good relationship with Vera. ”
Higolat immediately attracted Ciel's mirror image, and Ciel didn't hide it from him, because the matter of the Demon God Sect was not known by Higorat, and there was no point in hiding it at this time, anyway, it had to be adjusted.
The woman looked at Raphael in the mirror image with admiration, and added, "Then we continued to investigate, and found that he had originally become the earl of Oro, who had annihilated Edmund's army, and then seemed to have offended the Pope. After analyzing a lot of news, we believe that the abolition of the state religion this time is also inseparable from this person. I have to say that his timing is very accurate, and I dare to conclude that the Holy Light Church will not do anything, at least not for now. Joyla also looked up a lot of his information and admired him. ”
Hill touched his beard and sighed, "Powerful young man." ”
The woman said, "Yes, grandpa, he was born as a servant. ”
Highgolat exclaimed, "Raphael, damn bastard! Damn bug! I shouldn't have let Matz support him, what the hell!
The woman also saw Higolat from the mirror image, and was taken aback, before she said: "Grandpa, according to the information obtained after the ** investigation, this man named Raphael has already set off for the Holy Capital, and from the people arranged in Rayser, we learned that he actually went to participate in the Imperial Elite Competition, and there was no one in Empress Andina's reward, his position is very peculiar, and he does not seem to be inclined to either side, which is what I can't understand." ”
The energy of Higolat's body fluctuated, the chair under him turned into a flame, but the flames did not burn his body at all, all his plans were placed in the Oran Empire, but he failed, not in one place, but in all cases, and it was Raphael who made him fail.
Higolat stood up and said with a hideous face: "I don't care where he stands! I'm going to kill him, bastard, it's my shame to let him live!"
Vera looked at this scene boredly in the mirror and said, "Lord, is there anything else? If not, I'll turn off the mirror." ”
Higolat's face seemed to be ever-changing, and he immediately turned gentle again, and said: "Vera, since you don't want to be the president, you don't have to stay in **, go to St. Vid's Academy, you stop by me to intercept this kid named Raphael, if you can't catch up with him, it doesn't matter, I will also send someone to intercept him, and I will go myself, I will kill him with my own hands." ”
Vera said, "Can you stop telling me to do it?"
Hearing this, Higolat furrowed his thick eyebrows, and asked the charming woman in front of Vera in the mirror: "In your news, how good is the relationship between this bastard Raphael and Vera?"
The charming woman looked at the situation in the hall and felt a little embarrassed, but she still said honestly: "Raphael sang a love song under Vera's magic tower, and Vera was not angry. ”
Highgolat immediately said angrily to Vera in the mirror: "Could it be that this Raphael is calling you little Vera?"
Vera said helplessly, "So what? I just think Raphael is cute." ”
Although there are many women and many illegitimate children, he loves Vera very much, he thinks that true love is different from finding a wife, but Vera has never been disdainful of him, he and Vera actually first learned magic under the same teacher, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
He yelled, "You must kill him for me, either you do it yourself, or I will call a hundred Magus to kill him! Only, if I catch him, I will torture him for a hundred days before he dies! Do you think he can escape my pursuit? This is the force!
Vera finally said angrily, "You are always so self-righteous and don't care about other people's feelings, and I hate you the most." If you kill him, you'll never see me again!"
Vera actually wants to see herself for the sake of this kid?
Higolat was angry, his chest rose and fell violently, he carefully looked at Vera in the mirror, and after looking at it for a while, he finally confirmed that Vera was still a virgin, and his heart was a little more comfortable, and he said fiercely: "Okay, my final bottom line, I won't send anyone! You go and break Raphael's hands and feet, and you can't let him recover, I want him to be crippled!" )
