Chapter 51: The Holy War of Light

The city of Millis is located on the west side of the Emaar Peninsula near the sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the east is connected to the Rogia region in the direction of a rugged mountainous area, which is very inconvenient for land transportation, so the communication between Millis and the outside world is mainly connected by guò sea.

The holy city of Violet was originally not the holy city of the Violet Continent, the Holy City of Violet was originally the location of the Sisgang Treaty, but later from the colony to the north, the southwest coastal area is gradually no longer the economic and political center of the Violet Continent, and the holy city as a religious center is also necessary to move to the new economic and political center of the Dixinhai area.

The city of Millis and the surrounding area of Amaar, as well as the area of Nanting on the Imoan Peninsula, are all direct territories of the Holy See, and the pope of the holy city of Odin on the continent of Atlantis has sent a cardinal to take full charge of the religious affairs of the violet continent, and the city of Millis has a great deal of autonomy in many aspects, including the independent Inquisition, which is only the name of outsiders, and they themselves are called the Court of Light.

Milis's Temple of Light is the tallest temple on the Violet Continent, it is said to be fifty meters high, it looks like it is still much worse than the momentum of Tianfeng City, and there is a huge silver cross symbolizing the God of Light hanging at the top of the temple, and there is a large round bell below, which is very magnificent. Around the Temple of Light, there are many large and small churches with small spires and other religious buildings, and the ordinary houses in the middle seem very rare, after all, this is a religious city, a city of self-proclaimed gods' attendants.

Gandra was temporarily placed under house arrest in the Court of Light, with only one visit per day. It's useless to worry about it now, and it's all about buying off the judges and jurors as soon as possible. Fortunately, money is a good thing, rather than offending a large group of rich and powerful people with backgrounds and a group of terrifying magisters who can sweep thousands of troops, it is better to take some money and be happy. Besides, this kind of thing is irrelevant, and no one will have trouble with money.

Linya and her entourage rented an entire hotel in the city of Millis to arrange various matters for the rescue. As the saying goes, ** soft mouth, short hands, Char has now received many benefits from Linya, and he is the most diligent, and he is the most diligent in the negotiations with all parties, Linya assigned Bender to be fully responsible for cooperating with Char's actions, how to say it, I feel that Bender is still a very capable person.

Char originally said that a hundred gold coins could be done, but Linya was still not very relieved, and gave him two hundred red leaf gold coins with a flick of her hand. Linya has never known the value of money since she came to this world, how to say it, I really don't know how to get the right price of a world, the most basic grain should be a good measure, in the free market of the heart of the earth, the standard price of rice is ten copper coins per kilogram, and one copper coin per steamed bun. But in the central market of the Red Leaf Empire, the price of these grains will be doubled, and the grain of the Red Leaf Empire needs to be imported in large quantities. One red leaf gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred and twenty silver coins and twelve thousand copper coins, so two hundred gold coins are enough to buy two hundred and forty tons of rice!

It's a pity that the wealth created by the people of the Red Leaf Empire was thrown to those gods who had nothing to do all day long...... Thinking of this, Linya felt uncomfortable.

However, Linya is still not very reassured, even if she buys off all the judges and juries. The current cardinal of the Holy City of Millis is named Farmino, and although the trial of Gandra's case does not alarm a high-ranking figure like him, Linya decides to pay him a visit. If you can get a word from him, it will be even more reliable, and it is unlikely that those people below will be able to make trouble even if they want to.

Of course, it was impossible to go empty-handed, and Linya gritted her teeth and took out a thousand gold coins, ready to bribe that Famino. When Greer left, Grell forced 10,000 gold coins onto the ship, and Linya couldn't laugh or cry at the time, oh my God, what are you doing with so much money? It only took 20,000 gold coins to buy the whole of Phildo. But now Linya realized that he had the sophistication and foresight to do anything, with money, especially cash, it would be especially easy to get things done. The money is used now, but the money belongs to Grell after all, and he can only return it to Lea later when he returns to his private money.

Of course, it is impossible to bribe openly, and if you want to take care of your identity and status, you will definitely not accept bribes, but Linya has already had a way. Since the Reformation, the Holy See no longer collects taxes within the borders of the countries, and the main income of the Holy See comes from the tributes of the countries, but this tribute is freely contributed by the countries, and the amount of the contributions is entirely determined by the countries themselves, even if they do not contribute. But the more tribute is paid, the more the Holy See will consider the country to be more pious, the higher the praise of the Holy See, and of course the Holy See will be more open, intentional or not, when dealing with various affairs.

There is no limit to the amount and frequency of tribute paid by various countries, and Linya can use this excuse to bribe. Offering a tribute at this time when he is begged for it, fools know what she means, if Na Farmino refuses this tribute, or accepts the tribute and does not help Linya, then the next tribute of the Red Leaf Empire may become little or even nothing. It's a clever trick that works hard and soft, and Farmino should know what to do if he's not a fool.

On the second day of her arrival at Millis, Linya dressed up and had people carry gold coins to the temple. In order to increase the influence of this meeting, Alice also offered to go with Linya, Linya naturally couldn't ask for it, and the two princesses represented the influence of the two empires.

Linya took Alice by the arm and set off confidently. Since yesterday's exchange with Alice's Heart of Light, the two of them seem to have some kind of attraction to each other, which makes the two feel extra close, besides, why not take advantage of this beauty...... Well, that's Xiao Yuan's idea...... As for Linya, last night Namia gave her a very experienced enlightenment: "Princess, why do you look unhappy? I know that you are like this after seeing Princess Alice's true face, hehe, princess, you will also be jealous! Women, there will always be jealousy, this is normal, but you don't need to be like this, princess." Whether in terms of appearance, temperament, demeanor, status, or so on, you are no worse than Princess Alice! Your Royal Highness, the only thing you lack now is maturity, yes, you are still so young, when you grow up, you will never lose to Princess Alice! Jealousy will only detract from your beauty, you have no need to feel inferior at all, if even you have lost confidence and surrendered and admitted defeat, then how can others compare your beauty with her? You know, self-confidence, as well as a tolerant and broad mind, this is also an inner beauty!"

Namia's words inspired Linya, yes, jealousy does not detract from her beauty, it's not my fault that she's young, and she does have many things better than herself, alas, she is used to being rude and willful, and often becomes like a wild girl, where can she match Alice's gentle skill, now, get closer to her, feel the source of her beauty, and learn more from her strengths, this is what I should do. One day, I will let the whole world admit that my Linya is more beautiful than Alice! I, the noble Princess Linya, is the number one beauty in the Violet Continent!

As a sign of respect for the cardinal, Alice did not wear a veil today, allowing her face to be truly revealed. The appearance of two stunning beauties on the Violet Continent today at Millis immediately caused a sensation without difficulty, with the men's eyes wide open and the women about to burst into flames. But looking at the extraordinary escort team gathered around the two, those men with colored hearts and no courage can only swallow desperately.

is not only a stunning beauty, but also a beauty with the status of the most noble princess, just thinking about it is enough to make people beat their chests and feel painful.

When I walked to the central square of Millis City, the tall Temple of Light was already close in front of me, and the huge church bell on the top floor of the temple suddenly rang regularly, and the thick bell rang far away, and the whole city seemed to be suddenly quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the tall tower.

Well, what's going on, it doesn't seem to be the hour, why is the bell ringing? And it's like some kind of rhythm played artificially. The whole city seemed to fall silent suddenly, and there was not a single murmur, and everyone listened carefully to the sound of the bell, which was gradually becoming more and more urgent.

The whole city was eerily quiet. "What's going on, it seems a little weird. Linya couldn't help but ask quietly.

"The Holy War has begun!" Susanna's eyes seemed to be a little excited, but also a little gloomy.

Holy war?

The bell finally came to an end, and the otherwise calm crowd suddenly erupted like a volcano, and everyone went crazy.

"Holy war! Holy war!"

"The Great Holy War has begun!"

"Holy Knights of Light, the Holy War has begun!"

"The Pope calls to take up arms and exterminate those infidels!"

"Crusade! Crusade! Crusade to Grecia!"

"The will of the God of Light, crusade against the evil heretics and cast out the darkness!"

Crazy, everyone is crazy, the whole city is crazy! Linya and her party, who were originally the focus, were soon abandoned by people's attention, and countless people gathered in the square from all directions, shouting excitedly with all their strength, venting their excitement to the fullest. The holy war that comes every ten years has finally begun!

Linya couldn't help but shake her head as she looked at the fanatics who had fallen into obsession and madness. Maniac, what a bunch of maniacs!

Linya learned from the history of the Red Leaf Empire that in the world of the Doctrine of Light, the Pope would issue a call for holy war every few years, calling on all those who believed in the god of light to take up arms and destroy the evil heretics who believed in the god of darkness living on the continent of Grecia. With each Crusade, armies from all the countries of the Light Doctrine poured eastward into the lands of Glesia, bringing back countless corpses of wealth, slaves, and soldiers.

Jihad has become a way for human beings to express their desires.

Countless dreams of wealth and fame were ignited from here!

In the name of God, plunder and kill.

Jihad, is it really just?

God knows!
