Chapter VI: The Papal Scandal

My father's study has not changed at all, which probably reflects the characteristics of a middle-aged man: calm and steady. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chris sat in his chair, and Darnell poured two glasses of wine from under the desk and pushed them in front of his son: "Have you learned to drink?"

Chris shook his head: "I didn't drink much." ”

Darnell smiled: "This wine is not strong, taste it." ”

Chrissy nodded and picked up the wine glass, tasted it carefully, his father said not strongly, but in fact, the alcohol content should be close to thirty degrees, the smell of wine rushed to his nose, he took a small sip, held it in his mouth, did not dare to swallow it all, only swallowed little by little, and then felt that the line of fire flowed down the throat, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Darnell smiled and nodded, "It seems that you did everything I said." ”

Chriss, trying to calm the discomfort of alcohol, said, "I don't know enough of my classmates to drink. ”

Darnell nodded.

Chris put his glass on the table and said, "Father, I heard that something has happened in the city for a few months?"

Darnell also put down his wine glass, his face was heavy, and he nodded: "Actually, this matter should be counted on the temple, it was they who had the accident at the beginning, and it was only later that the number of deaths increased, which gradually caused panic among the residents of the city." ”

Chris remembers very well that it was when he was twelve years old that the Temple of Light built a church in Kibu Town, that year, Kib Town quelled a riot caused by mercenaries, and then his father agreed to the entry of the Temple of Light, in recent years, Chris also faintly felt that his father seemed to have a helpless attitude towards the existence of the Temple of Light, because for the stability of a territory, the existence of a Temple of Light church also has a certain positive significance, not to mention the power of the Temple of Light in the continent today.

When he was a child, Chris used to go to church with his sister to play, but as he grew up, the various compulsory courses of the nobles took up most of their time, and they hardly had time to go.

As for the church in Kib Town, it seems that he has maintained a peaceful attitude with his father for so many years, and the Chryss family are not believers in the Temple of Light, and his father neither encourages his subordinate warriors or nobles to believe in the God of Light, nor has he openly expressed his opposition, but the fact that his mother has never set foot in the church is actually enough to explain his father's attitude.

The date of the accident began a month ago, when a nun in the church died of illness, and another nun suddenly fainted while packing up her belongings in the deceased nun's room, and when she woke up, she fell ill with it, and was in a half-asleep and delirious state during her illness, and from her babbling, people could only barely distinguish the words "grace", "confession" and "chastity".

Soon, she also died a few days later.

Next was a lay priest, but he committed suicide and ended his life in his room with a rope, leaving no last words or a word.

This is incredible!

In the fifth commandment of the Ten Commandments of Light, it is clearly stated that suicide or wanting to die is a grave sin, and ordinary believers who commit suicide have always been regarded as sinners whose souls are not forgiven by the God of Light, let alone a staunch servant of God who has devoted himself completely to God and has been a priest for many years.

Is this priest's faith not pure enough?

Or is it something else?

If the underground status of nuns is not taken seriously, then the death of one priest is enough to pay attention within the Holy See, not to mention that the three who died are all members of the Holy See.

The Church of Light in the town of Kibu is staffed by one priest, two deacons (deacons are priests who assist in the conduct of the church, also known as priests), eight priests, and thirty-three nuns.

This series of incidents, which can almost be called the scandal of the Temple of Light, spread quickly, but since the deaths of the three men were basically not obvious murder suspicions, the Holy See had no choice but to bury the three in a hurry after a hasty investigation to no avail.

What most people don't expect is that this isn't the end of it.

About two weeks later, a nun died in the church's confessional chamber from a wound in the palm of her hand, and when she was found, she was covered in blood.

In other words, she bled to death.

The murder weapon pierced the palm of the hand, the tip of a candlestick, was found under the confessional stool, but it was not possible to confirm whether it was homicide or suicide.

Moreover, the nun's body was found disheveled, examined, and copulated before her death.

This was tantamount to a slap in the face of the Temple of Light.

Although their status in the Holy See is only higher than that of the Holy See, they are an indispensable part of the Holy See, most of them voluntarily leave their homes to engage in prayer and assist the Holy See in missionary missions to promote the doctrine of God, so their faith is very firm and pious.

Nuns are not allowed to marry in their lifetime, and for the first six years after entering the Holy See, they are required to make vows (i.e., vows), which are the three holy vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, during which time they make vows for one year each year and eternal vows after six years. "Temporary vow" - a limited period of time, such as one year or three years, "lifelong vow" - a lifetime, a lifetime, the first vow is called a first vow - a temporary vow, and the renewal of the vow after the expiration of the temporary vow is called a repetition of the vow, until the last vow is made.

It is not until the eternal vow that they are officially recognized and registered nuns by the Holy See.

Of course, this does not mean that a nun must be a nun in order to be a nun in order to be a nun in the event of widowhood or the dissolution of a legitimate marriage, and the vow to chastity begins only after joining the Holy See.

Why would a nun with a chaste vow do such a thing in a confessional room in a church?

Within a few days, the Holy See lost tens of thousands of faithful and the rest of the faithful blocked the door of the church all day long, either tearfully or aggressively asking the Holy See the truth. Others who felt they had been hoodwinked took up arms (a large number of them mercenaries) and attempted to attack the church personnel. It was then stopped by the fanatics, and soon several skirmishes began. Fortunately, most of the believers did not lose their minds, otherwise, most of them would have been slaughtered by the believers who were originally mercenaries.

But several believers have died at the scene under the push and trampling of others.

The priest and the rest of the papal seeker had to close the doors and send someone to the lord, Count Darnell Lorraine, for help.

Darnell, who had planned to sit idly by, also had to send troops to suppress the riot at this time.

Then, a diocesan bishop traveled day and night from the imperial capital to Kibu Town, along with twenty Templars of the Temple of Light.

That night, the diocese bishop took up residence in the church with the Templars.

Darnell did not want to get involved in the scandal involving the Holy See, and at this time he also withdrew the army that suppressed the riot.

The next day, the diocesan bishop sent a request to Lord Darnell to help him find out the truth.

But before Darnell could send a letter of approval, the diocesan bishop died in the Holy See.
