Allendo let go of the hand that was holding Ferdinand's neck and stood up straight, and Ferdinand's breathing immediately became smooth, and after a while he slowly regained his senses, but Ferdinand, who had suffered a lot, finally knew his current position, so he stopped making any noise, and obediently lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Henry stood in front of Red, his face flushed for a while, he wanted to continue shouting his ideals, but he was afraid of Ryan's pervasive demon*, lest he annoy the young magic*. Opposite Henry, Red stood there with a blue face, but his eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something.

The five men stood quietly in the room, neither of them speaking or moving, like five statues. Time passed quickly, and after a while, Red suddenly spoke weakly: "Henry, I don't want to mind your business, and I can't take care of your business. You are the best assistant to the teacher, but unfortunately you care too much about power, and you are not as good as an ordinary priest in terms of ability. ”

Henry snorted through his nose, but did not speak.

Red continued to take care of himself: "Teacher's body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover, I went to see him when I finished my penance, and his complexion was very bad at that time, unless I can get something like the Fountain of Life, which can be met but not sought, otherwise the teacher ...... His days are numbered. ”

"Now the day-to-day affairs of the Church of Light are managed by you, this was originally arranged by the teacher, I don't have anything to say, in fact, your ability to handle these worldly affairs is the best in the entire church. But I would like to remind you that humanity is facing a great crisis at a time, and that you are refusing to contribute for your own personal benefit while everyone is united, and you are trying to use this opportunity to restore the Pope, which is quite foolish*. ”

"If the orcs capture this city, the Holy Alliance Empire will inevitably be wiped out, and the human race will lose the territory in the north of the continent forever. Only when humanity is scattered will the Church of Light be able to control everything as before. But have you ever thought that at that time, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of human beings themselves, and who will conquer the legendary Netherworld? In fact, the entrance to the so-called Netherworld is not known at all. ”

"And those lords in the south will really obey your arrangement? You are not afraid to become their puppets instead? With your current strength, even an ordinary warrior can knock you to the ground, why should you order others? We priests have never been combatants, and healing, defense, etc. are our strengths. ”

"Hmph, who said that priests can only stand behind others?" Henry replied disdainfully, "As long as I sit in Iber's position, I can completely own it, and naturally I can be blessed by the gods, and naturally I can use the strongest power of order in this plane." This is the rule that the God of Light has set for him. ”

"Aren't you still dying, even if you do have it, how many times can you use it with your body?" Red asked rhetorically, "With the strength of my teacher, I have only used it a few times in my life, you can clean up those lords one by one, as long as they avoid it, and send some soldiers, it will be enough to hold you back." Others believe in my teacher because he has been spreading the blessings of the God of Light all his life, not always thinking about stepping on others. In the Praise of Light, chapter 4, verse 9 says that the north wind and the sun make a bet to see who can take off the cotton garments of the passers. The north wind blew with all its might, but it made the pedestrians wrap their cotton clothes more tightly. And the sun showed a kind smile, so that the warm pedestrians inadvertently took off their thick coats. ”

"Is that just a story made up by Bruce Nebiro, does it make sense?"

Red shook his head and looked at Henry with pity, who returned the favor with an unyielding look. Seeing that he hadn't done anything to convince Henry, Red sighed helplessly and said to Henry, "It seems that you won't change your mind, so you can do it yourself." From now on, I, Red, will leave the Church of Light, and I will not give up my faith, but I refuse to be with you who have misinterpreted the gods of light. ”

When Henry saw Red say this, his heart was a lot more settled, and he was reluctant to use a tough tone to confront Red to avoid complications, but he always had to say a few words on the scene: "Whatever you want, Red." But if you want to quit, you can't come back. Your strength comes from the blessings of God, and if you abandon the faith in your heart one day, it is natural that you will also be abandoned by the gods of light, which is very fair. ”

"I'll take my teacher. ”

"Whatever you want, but you can't touch anything else. ”

Red nodded and said to Ryan, "Let's go." With that, he turned and walked out of the room. Ryan and Allendo followed suit. Ferdinand, who was lying on the ground, waited until the three of Lane left, and immediately jumped up, and then did not rush to Henry, and whispered, "Do you want to ......?"

"Forget it, after all, his identity is more special. But if he could really leave, it would save me a lot of trouble. ”

"That ......"

"The Praise of Brightness must not be taken away by them, you now personally bring people and go to the worship hall with me to garrison. If I'm not mistaken, that book is the source of Iber's power, and most likely that the Great Prophecy will be understood from the book. ”

Red made his way through several corridors and into a courtyard. He walked straight to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard and got down, then pointed to the other stone chairs beside him. Ryan and Alendo, who were following him, nodded slightly and sat beside him.

"What do you want to know?" said Red to Ryan, "I'll tell you all." ”

Ryan shook his head and whispered, "We only know that you are our friend, and as for other things, there is no need to know. ”

Red sighed and said to Ryan, "Thank you, but I still want to say it, so I don't have to hold back." ”

Alendor patted Red on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Then you can vent it all."

Red smiled gratefully at Ryan and Allendo, and then said with a painful face: "Actually, as long as you are connected just now, you will understand everything. Henry is the assistant of my teacher, Master Ibel, and he has his trust, and basically all the affairs of my teacher in the Church of Light are entrusted to him. Now my teacher is seriously ill, but Cardinal Henry is so obsessed with power that he wants to restore his former papal title. ”

"The Pope?"

"Yes, Ryan. Once upon a time, the Pope was the common ruler of the various kingdoms of mankind because he represented the will of God. However, things have changed, and now it is no longer timely. Hey, I really don't know where to start with all this mess. ”

"All of this has to start with the book "In Praise of Light". After the Battle of Sunrise 200 years ago, humanity defeated the army of the undead, and a high-ranking priest, Bruce Nebiro, one of the later Seven Heroes, saw the devastation on the continent and vowed to travel throughout the continent of Eslar and spread the blessings of the gods of light to every corner. ”

More than ten years later, Bruce Nebiro returned to the city of Fernando shortly after the alchemist Jeshi, a student of the great master Mellen and the alchemist, led the group to build the city of Fernando. At this time, after going through all kinds of tribulations, he not only fulfilled his previous wish, but also increased his strength, possessed the ability to directly talk to God, and was granted a powerful demon* by God, that is, the Great Prophecy.

To commemorate the priest's hardships for more than ten years, the Cathedral of San Nebiro was built as the headquarters of the Church of Light, and Bruce-Nebiro became the first archbishop of the Holy Alliance. Archbishop Bruce-Nebiro traveled across the continent with only one book, a book full of blessings from the gods of light, "Praise of Light". ”

After the death of Bruce Nebiero, the book was preserved in the Cathedral of San Nebiero. Any priest who believes in the god of light can refer to it, and if he is tested by this book, he will have powers similar to those of Bruce-Nebiro, such as the powerful Demon of Order*, the Great Prophecy. ”

"It was the same with my teacher, who was just an ordinary pastor who went out to do penance, just like that Bruce Nebiro. What happened to him, no one knew, not even me, his only student. However, soon after returning to the imperial capital, my teacher Ebel passed the test of the book and became the new archbishop. ”

"Now, this Cardinal Henry has such a thought, but unfortunately he has already tried, and it is to no avail. However, this did not deter the careerist, but he also took advantage of the crisis of the country to prepare to go further. This time, the Church of Light refused to assist in defending the city, and he was behind the manipulation, and others didn't know this, but they thought that my teacher had a different mind. ”

"Then why didn't Master Eber come out and stop it?"

Red smiled bitterly and said: "This Great Prophecy Technique is extremely powerful, even a level 9 Demonic Beast Frost Bone Dragon can be easily destroyed that day, but every time this demon* is used, it will cause a huge amount of damage to the caster's body." My teacher was so old that he didn't have the power to withstand the demon's backlash, but he couldn't take care of that much at the time. ”

"This is probably also the * rule formulated by the God of Light, after all, this demon* is an invincible existence in this plane, of course it must be restricted. ”
