======================
Attila directly agreed to Herman's quid pro quo on behalf of Rosie, and Rosie was a little dissatisfied with Attila's decision to make the decision, but he couldn't show the possible rift between the two in front of Herman, so he nodded and admitted the deal.
He angrily pulled Attila to the side and casually cast an absolute refuge, this magic has a very interesting place, that is, it can block out sound. Within the barrier, it is a completely independent space, which will not be disturbed by any elements from the outside world.
"What the hell is this relic?, did you say yes so quickly?", Rosie frowned and stroked his collar, he was expressing his anger in this way.
Attila tilted her head and glanced around Rossi's head at Herman before moving her gaze to Rossi's body, "Holy relics are holy weapons, but holy weapons are not necessarily holy relics. In fact, the literal explanation is very clear, the holy relic refers to the things left by God, and these things are suitable for the needs of the Holy Light Church. Each relic means an extremely special status and symbol, and at the same time, it can also bring extremely powerful power to the bearer.
Some people believe that the holy relic is the ticket and key to the pursuit of eternal life, and as long as you have the holy relic, you are qualified to chase eternal life and supreme power.
If Herman is not lying, then he really knows where the 'God Says' is, and this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. We have only deciphered part of the first and second pages of 'Divine Sayings', and we have already created such a brilliant religious civilization and mysterious divine chapters, if you can decipher more, if one day you can decipher the whole 'Divine Sayings', maybe you will become a god. β
Attila suddenly laughed, and the treacherous and treacherous smile didn't seem to be abrupt on his face at all, "Moreover, if you can kill Herman after the deed is done, what is there to refuse." β
This is true, don't underestimate the shamelessness of the superior and the thickness of their shamelessness, turning the face and flipping the book are just one of the compulsory courses for the superior, Rosie agreed with Attila's words without any pressure.
When the time comes, just kill him.
Rossi removed the barrier, and the two returned to the negotiating table, and the deal was quickly struck, with a series of rules and regulations in place for the two sides.
Herman didn't quite understand Rossi's attitude of being keen to build a new church, but this matter itself was beneficial to Herman, the new church meant a new atmosphere, and the ruined churches in the empire did need to be renovated, and Rosie could take the initiative to come up with funds to do this, but the criticism could fall on Herman himself.
As for the rest, there is no more entanglement between the two sides.
As soon as Herman returned to the imperial capital, he accepted the reception of Prince Fabio, in fact, Fabio did not want to meet Herman, an apostle who had a relationship with the old emperor, but for the sake of Rossi's request, he still did so.
The whole process was relaxed and harmonious, and the only thing that made Herman a little unhappy was that Fabio didn't give him more titles, just chatted with him for a few words and left. He was a little jealous of Rossi, who had too many titles, and each of them was enough to have a non-negligible impact on his soon-to-be-pope rule.
Rossi entrusted Arèrez with the plan to preside over the construction of churches throughout the country, and asked Arrez to send the Divine Knights to oversee various places, while he and Ati quickly traveled south to retrieve the holy relic in Attila's mouth, "God Said".
According to Herman's explanations and some of the notes he had gathered, Rossi and Attila did find the clues Herman had said.
And most importantly, these clues all point to one thing in the end, that is, the Blood Sect was suppressed by the church more than a thousand years ago. Some of the top of the Blood Sect were executed, others were exiled.
At that time, the Federation was still a very weak indigenous commonwealth, and a group of apostles were exiled here, and at the same time, the Supreme Sage and several archmages from the Order of Truth who were proficient in the magic circle also quietly entered the territory of the Federation.
No one knows what happened after that, and only two events at that time are highlighted in the few words left by history.
The first is that there is a fierce conflict within the Church, not only the top of the Blood Sect has been suppressed, but also the most famous school of knowledge in the Church, which is known as the pioneer of exploring the mysteries of the world along with the Truth Society.
The second was a large-scale indigenous war in the Federation, which lasted three months and shook the world by the massacre of several indigenous communities.
In the notes of an anonymous apostle, it is recorded that they want to control our mouths and eyes, and we can only bury them with blood, but the truth cannot be buried forever, and one day the earth will be broken, and then the faith will collapse.
This note has not been taken seriously by later generations, and various beliefs and thoughts have passed through a stage of self-doubt. The more prosperous the civilization, the higher the intensity of self-doubt. Several ruling dynasties in history that have stood on the Western continent have had such reflections, and some have even completely perished because of self-doubt.
Herman put these clues together and placed them in front of Rossi and Attila, allowing them to discover some truths buried by history.
There have been self-doubting arguments within the church that have shaken the foundation of the church, so these self-doubters, or pioneers, have been brutally suppressed.
So what kind of self-doubt can shake the foundation of the church? In other words, what is the foundation of the church?
It is nothing more than the theocratic argument, and the core of theocratic argument - "God Says"
It can be said that the religious belief of the Holy Light Church is an extension of the "Divine Sayings" based on the "Divine Sayings", if the "Divine Sayings" is questioned, then this is tantamount to questioning the foundation and rule of the Holy Light Church, as the pope at that time, the first person in the Western continent, will definitely not let this kind of thinking spread endlessly, the only way is to completely erase this kind of thinking.
So the Pope invited the top officials of the Truth Society to seal the "Divine Sayings" and suppressed anyone or anything that might be involved in it.
For the Truth Society, the Holy See is willing to slap itself in the mouth, and even seal the holy relics, which is a very happy thing for the Western world, which is ruled by the oppression of theocracy, and there is no reason not to help the Church fight itself.
It was precisely because of these clues that Rossi and Attila let Herman go for the time being and went to the Federation to find the sealed holy relic - "God Says"
The fact that there is a constant conflict between the three regimes on the Western continent and conflicts along the border is commonplace does not mean that there are no deeper ties between them, as long as it is beneficial to the rule, everyone can sit down and talk.
For example, the Commonwealth, which built a railroad system throughout the Western Continent, knew that the Federation was not a well-wisher, and the money they paid for the construction of the railroad was not paid by the Federation itself, and the purpose of building these railways was ultimately for war. But everyone can't refuse, the federation can follow the railway all the way from Dongda to west, from south to north, but vice versa.
Like the railway empire, you can hit the hinterland of the federation and conquer the entire territory of the federation.
After passing through the border station, the train was on the road again, and the sign of the nobleman's box was taken off and replaced with the sign of the president's private room. In the two trains, which originally did not have many people, there were also some Federation merchants wearing ceremonial dresses, civilization hats, and civilization rods.
They are curious about Rossi and Attila and have no desire to delve into it.
Sitting in the dining room, enjoying a fresh and delicious veal steak, Attila couldn't help but sigh, "This is the life of a nobleman!"
Rosie held the wine glass and raised it Yaoyao, took a sip, the unique aroma of red wine exploded in his mouth, he frowned slightly, he really didn't like this taste, but in addition to red wine, there was only rum on the train. It's not impossible to pair rum with steak, but it's just inevitable that it's a bit self-defeating.
"This is the life of the aristocracy, this kind of life is like a soft knife, constantly tempting, cutting people's perseverance and reason, and making people sink gradually. β
Attila laughed twice, this is obviously disease-free**, he asked for another veal steak, and wiped his mouth when he was not yet up, "I finally understand why so many people want to be nobles, this kind of enjoyment is indeed addictive." β
Along the way, Attila accepted all pleasures and services like a nobleman, and if it weren't for his old age and lack of thought, I am afraid that he would have been swallowed alive by those delicate girls in the flight attendant.
From the moment you wake up in the morning, everything is ready, someone brings you a cup for freshening, squeezes toothpaste, and a hot wash and towel. Even if it's a very private thing like taking a shower, there are flight attendants to serve and help clean up those places that can't be reached. The meticulous service was very satisfying, and it made Attila very scary, he really couldn't stand it.
Under the service of these people, he didn't even know what else he needed to do on his own!
