Gerald's expression was a little embarrassed, and he drew a cross in front of his placket, in front of the red cross: "Praise Heavenly Father, your words are as precious as gold and precious stones, and I am looking forward to and honored to have the opportunity to fight side by side with you." ”

The efficacy of Lazarus' potion has long been spread in Jerusalem, although it is only effective for external injuries, but on the battlefield, isn't it trauma that is most likely to occur?

A bottle of Lazarus potion sprinkled on the wound can quickly stop the bleeding, scab over at the end of a day, and heal in a week.

Uldin, who could offer this precious potion, and claimed to be involved in the war, was even more despicable compared to the hermits in the monastery, including those behind them.

Gerald actually didn't like this kind of behavior either.

However, the Knights Templar, as a military assembly directly under the Pope, although they are now in power, in the final analysis, are still subject to the Pope's control.

A piece of excommunication is not the life of a feudal lord.

Later generations will only remember the visit of Emperor Henry IV, Carnosen, who was shut out by Pope Gregory and repented for three days barefoot and humiliated.

But I didn't know that only three years later, after Henry IV put down the rebellion, he gave Gregory a package to imprison, depose, and re-establish the pope.

But a single excommunication can definitely kill the Knights Templar.

Behind several monasteries, standing is the spokesman of His Majesty the Pope, Cardinal Sebastian, who is the spokesman of the new pope.

Pope Serantine III has just taken over as pope from the deceased Clement III, a pontiff with skill, ability, and ambition, and Baldwin IV's letter for help was addressed not long ago.

The nobleman with a straight intestine was half emotional, half sarcastic: "Bishop Ulding is the truly virtuous clergy, and those fools who can only collect indulgences and cannot even explain the doctrinal scriptures are as disgusting as flies. ”

"Oh, there are so many 'glorious deeds' in the Abbey of Ascalon, and I have heard that Archbishop Kiel is most fond of young and handsome young boys."

A nobleman sneered and said: "In that small monastery, I don't know what kind of sins are bred, those ugly deeds, if it is not really impossible to announce it to the public in this main hall, I will definitely tell everyone about it." ”

Gerald was sweating profusely.

The monastery is inhabited by a group of monks, and it is not allowed to leave the monastery without permission, and a group of men are in a closed environment all day long, and it is easy to imagine what kind of evil is most likely to brew.

"You have misunderstood, but the Divine Tree is indeed a miracle created by the great power of the Heavenly Father, which must not be denied by you, and some clergy want to follow the convention and bring the Divine Tree into the control of the Church, which is also a matter of course, and should not be harsh."

Gerald coughed lightly: "However, I don't think this matter is appropriate, let's wait until the Marquis of Lothar returns, and I will persuade them to donate as much money as possible to pay for the army." ”

The aristocrats were dismissive of this.

They did not know the forces behind these monasteries, but they could guess that they were very unhappy with the Pope's behavior at such a critical moment, not only did not immediately call for the support of the crusaders, but wanted to gain benefits for himself.

Gerald watched the crowd's reactions and sighed lightly.

The Pope can't help it.

The previous pope called for the crusaders, and several kings shouted slogans loudly, that is, they did not move their buttocks, and Emperor Henry did not give face at all, and he had to do this group of tax-resistant Lombard city-states under the pressure of the pope.

made the prestige of the former Pope Kelimen III discredited, and he was almost so angry that he whimpered.

If the Holy Land falls, that's it.

He could also take this opportunity to rebuke the kings in exchange for enough benefits and gain a lot of prestige for himself in the next war to reclaim the Holy Land.

As a result, the Holy Land was kept.

The ink of the kings, poured into Saladin, was not to be worried, they were prescient.

This was also the last straw that broke the camel's back, and within a few days of the news - it was even most likely to cover up the defense of the Holy Land, and the Pope was angry to death in the past few days, Kelimen III died directly.

Ulding said with a serious expression: "The New Habsburg, where the Sacred Tree is located, belongs to the jurisdiction of the Bishopric of Alandler, and I will not worry about others, I will do a good job of assisting the Marquis of Lothar to govern the people of this land, and persuade more heretics to convert to the true faith." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, with all due respect, if the Holy Land falls, what will be left of your wealth, status, and fame?"

At that time, what's the point of worrying about these so-called gains and losses? The thousands of miles of fertile land brought by the sacred tree will become a pasture for the pagans to graze their camels, cattle and sheep, and even be burned to ashes by them, and it is not impossible to sacrifice to their pagan gods. ”

Uldin's eyes swept over the crowd.

In fact, it is not that these nobles or clergy are stupid, but the Saracens, who have lost to the Crusaders too many times, and many nobles and clergy in Europe did not think that the Holy Land would fall one day.

They firmly believe that the glow of the "Father" shines on them.

This self-righteousness, no matter how strong the enemy may be on the surface, will eventually be defeated by oneself, is both foolish and somewhat justified – as in the case of the First Crusade, a process that is already legendary and epic.

"Greed is the original sin."

Uldin's direct gaze made Gerald a little afraid to face it.

He was a man of integrity and piety, and even though the Knights Templar's treasury was full of wealth, his personal life remained extremely simple.

But in a high position, it is inevitable to do some unavoidable things, such as his personal relationship with Roger, the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, is good, but after he succeeds as Grand Master, he still has to have no contact with Roger.

He drew a cross in front of him and silently retreated into the line without saying a word.

Raymond got up, came to Uldin, bowed his head and kissed the bishop's ring on his finger: "Praise the Father, praise you for your piety and generosity, praise for your righteous deeds and good deeds, your virtues are as bright as the stars in the sky." ”

"You've overdone it, Lord Tiberiath."

Ulding looked at Raymond calmly: "My lord, the safety of the Holy Land is really the most important thing, and those who lose the Holy Land will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, which is enough to erase all past reputations. ”

"Rest assured, Bishop of Uldin, I promise you, as a Christian, that Jerusalem will eventually defeat all foreign enemies."

"May Heavenly Father bless you."

Urdin drew a cross to the crowd and turned away.

He is a jealous and hateful person, and he can't get used to these flies and dogs, but it's not that he doesn't know the twists and turns inside, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do the high position of archbishop in the world of yesterday's giant ships.

It's just that there is always a limit to human patience.

When Ulding became the bishop of the diocese, he found that he still had no choice but to be unscrupulous wolf clan, and the Holy Church of France, who was high in France, was unwilling to risk an all-out war and punish the evil people, his mentality collapsed directly.

That's why Uldine admires Jeanne very much.

You must know that the dark creature can easily operate a force in the world with its otherworldly strength, even if many people later know that his identity is problematic, but due to the transfer of interests, many dignitaries will not only not clear the darkness, but are likely to become its protective umbrella.

Jeanne offended many people in the process of clearing these dark creatures.

If it weren't for her strong strength, I am afraid that she would have disappeared without a trace like those demon hunters who had just debuted and did not know the height of the sky.

The crowd watched him go.

Raymond's expression turned positive again: "Bishop Ulding is an example for every Christian to follow, who is willing to donate extra money to protect the Holy Land, please note that this is the closest place to the Father, who is looking at you and me." ”

As soon as the words fell, people stood up.
