Chapter 16: Prestige?
Looking up, only Manto and Uriah were the only two people who came to be considered Allen's acquaintances, and the rest didn't even have a vague impression, and they really didn't know where they came from. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Really speaking, I don't know if Allen is too shallow or Edward IV's sense of existence is too strong, anyway, Allen has never felt that there are a few people in the so-called high-level of the Holy See, and the Inquisition and other places that Allen was looking forward to are completely non-existent.
In this way, Alan always felt as if there was no high-level existence of the Holy See, and Edward IV took care of everything in the Holy See.
Of course, this is not the case, in fact, although the Holy Church of Glory is ruled by the Pope, the power is not completely concentrated in the hands of the Pope alone.
The first is the department of priests, which is where Manto is currently located, the priests, also known as the armed priests, are a force responsible for the defense of the Holy See, unlike the Knights, the priests are not armies, in essence, they are also clergy who serve the nine holy spirits, and are also responsible for all the celebrations and ceremonial affairs of the Holy See.
The second is the episcopal system, which can be said to be completely controlled by the pope, of course, only in name. The Holy Spirit Continent is divided into five dioceses, so there are a total of five cardinal archbishops, but because the central diocese is headed by the Pope himself, there are only four people with the title of cardinal archbishop.
Finally, there is the armed forces of the Knights, which does not need to be repeated, because these high-ranking figures Allen all know.
"His Highness the Holy Son!"
But after a while, several people came to Allen, who quickly retracted his thoughts, rode on horseback and glanced at the few people who were saluting him, and then got off the horse.
"No need to be polite, Grand Priest Manto, who are these?"
Alan reached out to help Manto up, nodded to Uriah, and then asked suspiciously.
Manto glanced at Alan in some surprise, as if he didn't know whether Alan really didn't know these people or wanted to embarrass each other, but soon Manto woke up, and it was normal for Alan not to know these people in front of him.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, let me introduce to you, this is the Bishop of the Holy Mountain, this is the Bishop of the Augsg Church, this is the Bishop of the Augsg Church, and the one on the far side is the Chief of Internal Affairs of the Holy Mountain, Lute. ”
Alan nodded knowingly, the Bishop of Sestan must have only taken office after the incident four years ago, although he was not familiar with it, but Alan was basically sure of his own identity, after all, Edward IV could not give up such a good opportunity back then.
And Manto's Luke Allen still has some impressions, he has seen it a few times on the Holy Mountain back then, although it is not clear what the other party thinks in his heart, but there must be a reason why Edward IV can allow him to stay in such a key position until now.
As for this Bishop of Highland, Alan had already caught a trace of disgust in his fleeting eyes just now, and he didn't even have to think about it to know which side this guy would stand on.
"Alright, let's get back to the Holy Mountain as soon as possible, I don't know exactly what's going on. ”
What Alan said about not knowing actually meant that he didn't know why the Pope and the four kings suddenly disappeared, but this had another meaning in Hailan's ears, which made Hailan wonder if Alan didn't know about the Pope's disappearance.
The Pope's disappearance has only happened for half a month, which is also where Hyland has always been a little suspicious, and the time for Allen, the Holy Son, to return is too early, so it is not right, even if the news is sent immediately on the day of the Pope's disappearance, then Alan should not return to the Holy City now.
"What is Bishop Hyland thinking? Let's talk about it. ”
"Hmmm......"
Hailan found out that Alan didn't know when he had been staring at him, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, and the little banter in the eyes of this young saint made Hailan very unhappy, and he was faintly uneasy, as if his mind had been seen through by him.
"Your Highness, the affairs of the sect have been complicated recently, and I am afraid that I am a little old and a little tired, so please forgive me. ”
"Oh?" Allen's face showed a bit of concern at the right time, "the affairs may be more complicated in the future, since Bishop Hyland is not energetic, it is better to rest earlier, and there is no need to worry about this anymore." ”
If it weren't for the city gate in front of him, the people on both sides were staring at the group closely, Manto almost wanted to laugh three times, although he successfully gave Hailan another blow two days ago, but as long as Hailan was still in this position, it would be a big trouble, but he didn't expect the Holy Son to hit the key point as soon as he made a move.
Hailan obviously didn't expect Alan to say such a thing, but he quickly recovered, his position is not something that Allen can shake with a light word at this time, even if Allen succeeds to the throne, it is not easy to drive Hailan from the position of the bishop of the Holy Mountain.
"Your Highness laughed, I can still continue to serve the Holy See. ”
Alan nodded, he didn't think that he could really easily accomplish the goal with a few words, he just wanted to make Hyland understand that he wanted to do something to him.
As long as Hailan understands this, she will definitely find a way to gather her accomplices to discuss relevant matters, which is just right for Alan to implement his plan.
Allen's plan is simple and crude, and it can be said that there is no beauty or technology to speak of, and there is no reliable strategy at all.
In Allen's vision, he would arrest all the members of the Presbyterian Church in the near future, and then blame the Pope and the four kings on this group of people.
Naturally, this is not possible to convince everyone, but as long as one or two countries believe it, the situation will be much better.
However, in the next moment, the thoughts in Allen's heart dissipated, and after entering the Holy City, the originally imagined warm atmosphere did not happen, but was replaced by silence, and the residents on both sides of the road bowed to Allen, making Allen a little suspicious whether these people already knew about the Pope's disappearance.
At this moment, Alan was at the forefront, and it was Delia who was slightly half a body behind him, and the rest of the people were following behind, seeing Alan's expression of disbelief, Delia quietly spoke:
"Don't be so surprised, know that you are different from all the Sons in history. ”
"Different, do you mean I'm the only one?"
Alan just wanted to raise his hand to point at himself, but suddenly found that his hand was completely unable to lift as if it was being pressed by something.
"Don't do such an unsightly thing. Delia gave Eren a soft warning, then continued, "Yes, that's why, in their eyes, you are the only one chosen by the Nine Holy Spirits. ”
