Chapter 472: It's Not Over Yet!
In this way, Herman's domestic turmoil finally came to an end.
With the arrest of Stether and Queen Mother Pamela, and the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th legions simultaneously declaring allegiance to the Emperor, Herman soon regained his calm and entered the work of reconstruction.
But that doesn't mean it's over.
Herman is busy with the political and economic reconstruction of the country for the time being, but the news that Prime Minister Stieser slaughtered hundreds of thousands of residents of the royal city and transformed them into flesh and blood puppets has also spread throughout the continent!
Everyone was shocked when they watched the soldiers who were not afraid of death or pain frantically attacking, only to be shattered under the steel violence of the Inquisition.
On the one hand, they were shocked that Stether really dared to make such a bold move, and on the other hand, they were also shocked that the true strength of the Inquisition was so terrifying. Anyone who has seen the images of the battlefield can be sure that if they were to change to their country's army, they would encounter this kind of terrifying undead army that is not afraid of death or pain......... I'm afraid it's really a dead end.
From this point of view, the Inquisition is afraid that it has saved the world again.........
But that's not the end of it.
Because just after this news spread across the continent, the Inquisition unexpectedly issued a declaration βββ they believed that the Oz Sect of the AL Sect was involved with Stiser, so they demanded that the Oz Sect must be examined by the Inquisition!
If he doesn't come, then the Inquisition will just arrest him!
As soon as this announcement came out, the world was in an uproar.
Only then did everyone remember that the original reason for the Inquisition's large-scale attack on Herman was that Herman's Prime Minister Stiser chose to cooperate with Oz to issue a wanted warrant to the Inquisition!
Of course, if it was just that, but now that Prime Minister Stirser actually slaughtered the inhabitants of the royal city, and even turned their corpses into flesh and blood puppets, the situation is different.
This makes many people instinctively wonder if all this has anything to do with AL teaching?
After all, Stirser is just a prime minister, where did he get this kind of technology?
But if this technique is passed down by AL, then everything can be explained!
Of course, this is just a conspiracy theory circulating in the market, but it is very much to the liking of many people. In the past, people may not have arranged AL teaching in this way, but the problem is that the situation is different anymore.
In just a few years, first Lisas was attacked by the demons and collapsed, then Seth was attacked by the demon army and was almost destroyed, and now it was Herman's turmoil. Each of these events is almost a major event affecting the mainland, but in the midst of these crises, it is the Inquisition and Duanmu Huai who finally destroy the demons and solve the crisis.
AL teaches a hammer to use?
Of course, there is not only AL religion in this world, but also Hani religion, but the Hani religion itself is a nervous monster like Hani, which is the same as the Flying Spaghetti God Cult, and everyone does not expect to change anything by believing in it. But the problem is that the AL religion has always claimed that the goddess Alice loves humanity and saves the world.
This is where the problem comes.
The Inquisition has always declared that its goal is to protect humanity and defeat any existence that threatens it, and they have said they have done so.
But......... What about AL teaching?
In just a few years, countries have encountered so many crises, why is AL like a dead man?
Of course, this is not to say that the bishops of the AL Church have done nothing, but their work is more than healing the wounded and proselytizing, and they have not done anything enough to save the world.
Of course, if there is no comparison, they can be regarded as contributing.
Well, without contrast, there is no harm.
However, with contrast, the damage appears.
The AL Sect wanted to say that the wicked people of the Inquisition sued first, but everyone saw the existence of the flesh and blood puppets, including the generals of Lysas and Seth, as well as the Emperor Sheila of Herman, who made a guarantee with their reputation. In this case, AL is really indisputable......... And in fact, they can't really say they're innocent!
Although ordinary believers don't know it, the AL Sect leaders have been recycling the kind of technology or tools that they believe will affect the balance of the world all over the world. When the high-level leaders of various countries did not know, they secretly took away a lot of technologies that could have greatly improved the civilization of the entire country.
And Oz Sect, as one of the candidates for the king, must have done a similar job, if he had the technology of the flesh puppet in his hands, he gave it to Stirser to use......... Well, in the eyes of other colleagues, this is not entirely impossible either.
"I said it, that's none of my business!!"
In the audience room under the AL Chapel, Oz stared at the others with a red face and a thick neck, and shouted angrily.
"I didn't know that Stether had mastered this technique! If I knew, I would definitely recycle it! β
At this moment, the Oz Sect has indeed been forced into a corner.
After all, of the four candidates for the throne, including him, Oz was the most likely to be elected to the throne. Among the other three, one is just the daughter of the former Dharma King and relies on "nepotism" to ascend to the throne, the other is a psychopath who doesn't care about anything but the goddess Alice, and one is a hundred years old, but ......... From the fact that the other party participated in the election of the French king several times in a row and failed in the end, it can be seen that this person belongs to the escort.
Because of this, within the AL Church, the prestige of the original Oz Church was the highest, and the people who supported him were also the most.
But when the matter of the flesh puppet came out, many people immediately drew a line with him.
However, in the face of Oz's defense, the others obviously didn't have much idea.
"It doesn't make sense, Oz."
Sitting in a wheelchair, the old man, who was twice the age of Oz's teaching, grinned and showed a cold smile.
"You should be well aware that if you leak this technology to Herman, then it is your rereliction of duty. And if you don't find out that Herman has this technology that can disrupt the balance of the world, and recycle it, you will also be remiss of your duty. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Oz was speechless, in fact, just like the old man said, whether the flesh puppet technology had anything to do with him or not, it was his dereliction of duty.
However............
"If I am derelict in my duty, isn't it true that everyone here is the same? The Inquisition is there, and for so long, have any of you ever done anything to the Inquisition or to the Inquisitor? Sealed him or retrieved him? Isn't the Inquisition the most disruptive force on the continent? My plan failed, but at least I tried, what about you?! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
As Oz spoke, the hall suddenly fell into a strange and awkward atmosphere.
Indeed, as Oz said, at least he tried to deal with the Inquisition, the other three............... Basically, when it comes to the court, it's just fishing and making soy sauce.
According to the standards of the AL Sect, all four of them are derelict in their duties, but at least Oz Teach can still get the "Effort Award" if he can't do it, and the others may not even be able to get the "Salted Fish Award".
"Now is not the time to think about this."
The old man coughed dryly, skipping the somewhat embarrassing topic
"The problem now is that the number of adherents in AL is gradually decreasing, and we must find a way to reverse this trend!"
As the old man said, compared to the previous question, this question is even related to the life and death of the AL Sect.
Originally, after the incident of Lysas and Seth, the number of followers of the AL Sect decreased a lot, and the AL Sect also tried to remedy its image, but what they didn't expect was that because of the Oz Sect, Duanmu Huai decisively chose to be tough with the AL Sect head-on, and directly chose to preach in the two countries.
And the missions of the Inquisition are not the same as the AL Church, they do not build churches like the AL Church, or rather, they just set up some icons of the Inquisition in some public areas, at most they send a few soldiers to maintain order next to them, and anyone can come forward to pray, and they do not need to pay any fees. Moreover, I heard that the icons of the Inquisition can even cure diseases, especially some diseases that are difficult to cure, and can be cured by prayer.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are always faced by human beings, and being able to cure diseases is the greatest benefit for almost all people.
Not to mention that the Inquisition is not like the AL Religion, you need to invite a priest, and you need to spend money, you just need to go to the square of the Inquisition, and then pray to the icon in the image of a skull and a hammer, and pray for something normal, you will feel warm all over your body, and then all the diseases on your body will subside!
Simple and convenient, isn't this much better than AL teaching? Those AL priests not only ask for money to treat people, but sometimes even ask them to pay more. In contrast, the court only needs you to pray a few words, and does not care about your contribution at all, with a Buddhist posture of "I don't need money anyway, I believe a little more.........
It is precisely because of this that many people have become believers in the court, after all, people's treatment is really fast, and whether they can cure the effect is immediate. Plus you don't charge money, you love to believe it or not............... Not only was it loved among the commoners, but even among the nobles, many of them became believers in the Inquisition.
After all, although rich people are rich, it doesn't mean that they like to owe favors to others, compared to finding a priest in the AL Sect to owe favors, they would rather use this method, even if they can spend more money to repair the church of the Inquisition, it is better than bowing their heads and begging for people!
In the past, they didn't have a choice, but now they want to be good people!
Of course, if you say so, I don't know if you think so.
But in any case, the AL Sect is indeed in big trouble now.
There are fewer and fewer believers, and fewer and fewer people send money to their homes. In addition, as soon as Herman's incident came out, all countries suddenly became uneasy about AL and suppressed it one after another.
The original pillar and confidence of the AL Sect was the common people, but after connecting the events of Lisas, Seth and Herman, the people of the three major countries, including the Free City Alliance, no longer have much trust in the AL Sect.
When they were invaded by demons, it was the Inquisition that saved them.
Not to mention Herman's side, the AL Sect is still in cahoots with Prime Minister Stirser and oppresses them!
In this case...............
"Boom!!"
However, just when everyone was worried, suddenly, a violent vibration sounded and everyone was stunned.
"What's wrong? What happened!? β
Oz Sect jumped up in surprise and looked around uneasily, but before he could do anything more, suddenly with a loud bang, the originally closed door was directly blasted open, and then a heavily armed AL Paladin was smashed directly in, hitting the wall headfirst.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and terrifying figure strode into the audience room.
"You, you, you ............!"
"You're Ozus."
Duanmu Huai stared coldly at the pale-faced middle-aged man in front of him, and then walked directly towards him.
"Since you don't dare to come out, I'm coming to you now......... In the name of the Inquisition, I will punish you, go to death! Your soul will burn in the flames and then turn into nothingness! β
While speaking, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party's head directly, and then twisted it violently, and then saw that Oz's head was like the lid of a mineral water bottle, and it was directly twisted from his body and pulled it off!
"Wow......... Evil, Devilββββ!! β
Seeing this scene, the old man in the wheelchair screamed, stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and then rolled his eyes......... In this way, he completely lost his breath in front of Duanmu Huai's fear aura.
"In the name of the goddess Alice.........!!"
At the same time, another bald-headed priest holding a goddess puppet suddenly jumped up and threw himself towards Duanmu Huai!
"I'm going to destroy you, blasphemy βββββ!"
However, before the words were finished, Duanmu Huai directly threw his hand and smashed it in his face, directly smashing the bald man in the air for fifteen and a half weeks, and then the rag-like tattered body fell to the ground, completely motionless.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash."
Duanmu Huai shook his hand, and then looked at the last petite figure standing here.
"Do you want to stop me too?"
"What do you want to do here?"
The girl with a hat and a very ordinary look stared at Duanmu Huai like this, and said in a tone without a trace of emotion.
"Quite simply, I'm here to find Goddess Alice, and I was going to ask you how to find her, but now it looks ........."
Duanmu Huai raised his hand as he spoke, the pitch-black flames burning in his hand, and then he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward.
"There's no need for that anymore!"
The next moment, with Duanmu Huai's words, the entire space of the audience room was suddenly torn apart by him!
At the same time, a woman with blonde hair and three pairs of wings, dressed incomparably sacred, and holding a golden scepter, appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
"You shouldn't do that, god from another world."
She looked at Duanmu Huai and said coldly.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"It's simple."
Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and stared at the goddess Alice.
"Take me to the creator god, and I can spare your life."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ What if I refuse? β
"Refuse?"
Hearing the goddess Alice's answer, Duanmu Huai grinned, revealing a hideous and murderous smile.
"You have no right to refuse before the court!!"
Before the words fell, I saw Duanmu Huai suddenly jump and pounce towards the goddess Alice!
