Chapter 34: Evil God?
With Carl's departure, the originally cold room was completely replaced by the red flowing from the table, the whole room was filled with a thick fishy smell, and a figure gradually emerged, if Carl was still at this time, he would definitely be stunned by the scene in front of him.
The figure that appeared was exactly the same as the statue of the god standing in the center of the Holy See, but its eyes were full of anger, as if it could destroy the entire continent, not at all like the one recorded in the legal code, which symbolized light and fraternity...... And so on the contrary, even the most terrifying and evil messengers of purgatory recorded in the code of divine punishment in purgatory seem to have become as pure and good as angels.
Is this really the God of Light worshiped and admired by the countless believers of the Holy See? Just one look contains all the ugly side of the world, and the most filthy and evil part of the soul can be triggered by the first look, and the whole body seems to be releasing unbearable anger all the time, although it has the same appearance as the God of Light, but it is completely an extremely opposite existence.
"Hehe, the Divine Messenger?" the figure said with some amusement, and then the room returned to its previous coldness, and the figure disappeared in an instant, as if the previous scene had not appeared at all......
At the same time, in the camp of the Holy See Expeditionary Force near Yasore.
"Archbishop St. Crook, Your Holiness the Pope needs to know exactly what is going on, why there are three heretical forces, and the great God of Light has also sent a real oracle, a divine envoy with a divine personality......
The cardinal archbishop, who was sitting in the middle of the camp, was looking at the news that had just been passed from the teleportation array, and knew that Karl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his progress, so he sent another archbishop who was not dealing with him, and it was also because Carl was crowned pope and the newly promoted chief St. Lully.
Although Crook is not angry about this, he also knows that he has no advantage compared with Luli, whether it is personal strength or Karl's attitude, Luli is better than himself. However, Crook's heart could not let go of it no matter what, and he thought more than once that he had the aura of the title of genius that had not been met in a hundred years by the Holy See, why was he inferior to Luli? In Crook's eyes, he looked down on Luli very much, and knew that he was too conservative to play any positive role in the expansion of the Holy See.
In fact, the disagreement between Lully and Crook also shows the contradictions within the entire Holy See, and the faction led by Lully has risen step by step from the bottom of the Holy See with his own efforts, just like Lully, from the beginning of an ordinary believer, through hard practice, step by step to become a priest, a magician, and a deacon...... Eventually, he became a cardinal, and Crook represented a group of extremely gifted people in the Holy See, who were extremely gifted in their own right, and whose soul power was unusually strong, coupled with the loss of their rational faith and good luck, became a regional whitecoat from the beginning, reaching heights that most of these people represented by Luley could not reach in their lifetimes, and these people spent several times or even dozens of times their efforts to achieve it.
It is precisely because of this that the contradiction between the two factions has been around for a long time, and what Crook represents is a more radical existence in the Holy See, believing that the Holy See should have unified the continent a long time ago and turned the entire continent into a kingdom of light, especially in recent years, almost everything that happened on the entire continent and related to the Holy See was planned by Crook. Among them, there are many things similar to the destroyed village that Benjamin and others saw at the beginning, and it is because of this that the conservatives led by Luli are more and more unbearable, and the contradiction between the two is becoming more and more acute.
The conservatives led by Luli believe that the belief in the god of light should come from the hearts of believers, and everything should be voluntary, and those descendants left over from the war of the gods have their own beliefs, although the code says "There can be no other god but me...... Such words, but Luli knew that it was impossible, not that Luli was a false believer, but that during the war of the gods, although countless gods fell, there were still many who survived, and those who were regarded as heretics by Crook were also the propagators of faith left by these surviving gods on this continent.
Especially over the years, Luli learned from the mouth of the former Pope Kissa that the God of Light had completely abandoned the continent, and he had forgotten the believers of the Holy See, and had not sent any oracles in the past hundred years, let alone miracles. Although Luli knew this, it did not hinder his faith, and he still insisted that one day the God of Light would return to the continent of Pamela Mesyar, and the Holy See would be glorious again.
With the more and more excessive actions of the radicals represented by Crook in recent years, the two factions finally had a fierce collision, and the final result was that the radicals represented by Crook succeeded in victory, because Crook united with the Kripan tribe and extended the tentacles of the Holy See into the territory of the Kripan tribe.
Luli sometimes has to admire Crook, after all, the territory of the Holy See has nearly doubled, although on the surface the Kipan tribe and the Holy See coexist, but Luli clearly knows that the Kipan tribe will be annexed sooner or later, from this point Luli also has to admit that Crook has done a very good job, not only expanding the Holy See, but also breaking the original balance.
Prior to this, the reason why the Holy See did not dare to expand was because the professionals of the Kripan tribe and the Caesar Empire were enough to compete with the Holy See, and the combination of those professionals made the Holy See suffer a lot, and after the repeated attacks were fruitless, the Holy See had to put away its initial ambition and acquiesced to the state of coexistence of the three, and now all this has been changed by the radical faction where Crook is, and from this point Luley has admitted more than once that Crook's radical faction is better than himself.
It is also because since then, the ambitions of the radicals have been extremely inflated, and their actions have become more and more extreme, in recent years, they have eliminated several primitive tribes that existed in the surrounding areas from the time of the War of the Gods, and finally led to the current situation, almost all the professionals on the continent have gathered in the territory of the Caesar Empire, on the surface, the union of the Holy See and the Kipan tribe has formed a joint encirclement of the Caesar Empire, but Luli knows that he wants to annex or destroy the Caesar Empire, almost a fool's dream.
Because the Caesar Empire is not only because of these professionals, the resources in the empire occupy almost two-thirds of the entire continent, whether it is the essential minerals in war, or the food that is essential in people's lives, and even the geographical environment, the Caesar Empire is enough to compete with the Holy See and the tribe. Everyone knows that all the important cities of the Caesar Empire are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the existence of these professionals, it is impossible for Luli to pay for the final victory.
Just when Luley's conservatives were about to oppose it again, an oracle suddenly appeared, and what made Luli even more unbelievable was that this oracle was actually going to start a holy war. But if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, as a saint-level archbishop of the Holy See, Luli knows what the oracle means, so he has to cooperate with Crook's radicals to start this battle after the War of the Gods, the biggest battle in the entire continent, but the final result Luli can't imagine anymore, maybe he doesn't dare to think about it.
Crook replied from his contemplation, the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the disdain in his eyes showed his mood at this time, and after putting down the letterhead in his hand, he said to himself:
"Hmph, even if you're the archbishop, why don't you agree to my plan now?"
Immediately, Crook seemed to remember something, and his original expression full of contempt suddenly became solemn, his brows tightened to indicate the question he had just remembered, and after thinking about it, he muttered to himself: "Three heretical forces, could it be that my feeling is right?"
At this moment, a "report" came from outside the camp, and Crook seemed to be a little unhappy because of this abrupt voice, and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
At this moment, a magician walked in and said respectfully, "Lord Saint Crook, Prince Bruso of the tribe asks to see you. ”
Crook was a little surprised, he didn't know what happened to Brusso's arrival at this time, after all, according to the plan, Bruso and the others should have gone to attack Yasore, but after the sneak attack plan failed that night, they should have gone straight to the new city of Direano, why did they come here to meet him at this time, could it be that the coalition army that went to Direano also encountered some accidents? Thinking of this, Crook couldn't wait to say:
"Let him in. ”
The sorcerer withdrew, and soon returned to the camp again, only this time with two more people, one was Bruso, the prince of the Kripan tribe, and the other was also known by Crook, the commander of the allied army sent to Direalo, a barbarian general from the tribe.
"Prince Bruso, what happened, why did you come to me as a guest?" Crook was very worried about the situation of the coalition army, but he did not show the slightest expression, but said in a homely tone.
"Hehe, Archbishop St. Crook, hello. Bruso said calmly, it didn't seem to Crook that the coalition had an accident, "Compare you to wonder why we're here." ”
"That's true," Crook said with an unabashed nod, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince has something to ask for?"
"Hehe, it can't be considered a request," Brussel also nodded, and said with a smile: "I came here to ask Archbishop St. Crook, what happened before, and why did the aura of the evil god appear?"
"What did you say?" Crook was taken aback when he heard Bruso's question, and blurted out almost out of shape, "You mean the legendary evil god?"
"Well, yes. Brussel nodded without hesitation, "Otherwise, how could we suddenly be here?......"
