Chapter 125: The Holy See Arrives
The city of Candine is a traditional city where the people of the Holy See believe in what the Holy See preaches and oppose what the Holy See denies.
The little witch had already suffered a lot of eyes because of her crumpled red robe, and Roger decided to change her outfit because he thought it would have some bad effects on the little girl's heart.
"Little witch, do you know that many people have become distorted because of the discrimination they received in their childhood or youth, and their outlook on life and values have changed, thus deviating from the right track of life and doing many bad things", Roger said step by step: "In fact, people always change passively, people can't change the external environment, so you have to learn to adapt, this is not Hongyan Island, and your master is not around, you have to learn to change by yourself",
The little witch took his hand and grinned, "Brother Roger, are you afraid that I will go astray?"
Roger looked at her and said, "In people's minds, poets represent handsomeness and grace, swordsmen represent dashing and bold, knights represent solemnity and solemnity, and wizards often represent evil. This is both a prejudice against people and a result of the profession itself, poets, swordsmen, knights can't be a straw man to curse others, but a wizard can. A sorcerer can never carry a sword into battle, but a swordsman can, and the mystery of witchcraft and its own flaws create prejudices among people."
"But wizards also have good people",
"Whether it's a good guy or a bad guy needs to be proven to others, and you can't prove it now, so you have to change your outfit and tell people that you are their kind, not a little monster, and after getting their approval, they won't be so difficult to accept when you tell them your wizard identity",
"Brother Roger, I see", the little witch took his hand and tightened it a little more.
The crowd shouted as the two men walked as pedestrians on either side suddenly gave way, and then everyone crowded to both sides of the road to make way for the wide street in the middle.
Roger grabbed the little witch's hand and pulled her to his side, and then saw the people on both sides kneeling down and looking at the end of the street, their eyes full of piety.
At the end of the street, a luxurious carriage with its axles turning, slowly approaching, and four horses rode side by side to occupy the whole street.
Behind the carriage was a knight, dressed in white and white on a white horse, carrying a light rifle in his hand, and the white angel wings insignia on his chest made him particularly eye-catching.
The white Angel Wings Badge, the insignia worn by only members of the Templar Order, was the supreme glory for anyone.
Unlike swordsmen and rangers, knights are a noble profession, and to become a knight you need bloodlines in addition to ability.
Knights on the continent all need the canonization of the Holy See or the Kingdom, and only those of noble birth are eligible to become knights. The Tully family Gregan was also very good at using a riding spear, but he was never knighted because of his rudeness and underground origin, while Blood-Eyed Garcia was able to obtain knighthood by virtue of his noble blood.
"Brave knight, please accept this flower of honor", a brave girl walked to the knight's white horse with flowers in her hand.
The knight took off his helmet and showed his handsome face, bent down to take the girl's flowers and smiled charmingly, he looked down and sniffed and smiled: "Thank you, beautiful young lady",
A knight is a profession that does its best to kill a fierce enemy on the battlefield, but maintains the most honorable etiquette when facing women, and for the girls a knight is a prince charming who often fantasizes about, and a knight of the Knights Templar is a prince of princes.
The knight bowed and rode past the girl, his posture was extremely elegant, and in just a few tens of meters, dozens of girls sent flowers to the knight.
The man in the carriage played with the ring with agate on his little finger and laughed: "Darkel has become more and more popular with women since he entered the reserve of the Knights Templar, and yes, women are such creatures, they love men more than they love men themselves",
The horseman who was driving the car said: "Lord Archbishop, is it inappropriate for the young master to wear the angel wings badge now?"
"The most serious punishment is to be kicked out of the reserves, but now that the Knights Templar are in the same league as the Crusaders, even if they know about Darkel's violations, they will turn a blind eye."
"My position concerns the armament of Canteen, and the Knights Templar will choose to forbear for it",
"Stop," he commanded suddenly.
The groom was busy reining in his horse, and the carriage stopped right in front of Roger and the little witch, and the people all over the street knelt reverently, and only the two of them were standing, and it was difficult not to attract attention.
The man in the carriage lifted the curtain to reveal a feminine face, although he was nearly middle-aged, he looked very young, his fingers were very thin, and the ring on his little finger was very rich.
He narrowed his eyes to look at Roger and said with a smile: "Everyone kneels down, why are you standing?",
Although he was smiling, he gave people a chilly feeling.
Roger and the Little Witch, one from Corloga and the other from Red Flame Island, neither of them believed in the teachings of the Holy See and never bowed down to anyone.
The moment the carriage and knight appeared at the end of the street, Roger wanted to leave quickly with the little witch, but the crowd was so crowded that he could only stand where he was with the little witch.
The little witch knew that Roger should be listened to at this time, so she didn't say anything.
Roger looked at his outfit, a gorgeous black robe and a white hat. You don't have any badges on your body.
In the Holy See, it was possible to wear no insignia, have a carriage groom, be bowed down, and be escorted by knights of the Templar Order, which not even a cardinal could do.
In the Holy See, only the Pope can mobilize the Knights Templar, but he obviously cannot be the Pope, the legend says that the Pope of the Holy Light rarely shows up, and every time he appears, he is accompanied by a prophet, so he is, for a while Roger can't guess his identity.
"I don't know who your identity is? No one seems to bow down to an unidentified person," said Roger.
The man in the carriage smiled softly: "Archbishop of Candin, Duras",
Archbishop Duras of Candein, Roger smiled, he had heard the name of "Mad Dog Archbishop" Duras before coming to Candine.
Then the knight behind him was his son Darkor, who had just been selected into the reserve of the Knights Templar, so it was no wonder that he would follow Duras's carriage.
Roger bowed and said: "It turned out to be the Archbishop of Duras, and the respect for the Holy See and Your Excellency lies in the heart, not in the mere prostration."
Duras smiled, his smile was gloomy and mysterious, and he handed a dagger to the groom.
"Dig out his heart, and I want to see how much that heart holds in high esteem for the Holy See and for me."
