Taking a deep breath, Otto gathered his thoughts and relived in his mind the details of that day's conversation with Priest Matthew.

No problem, Priest Matthew, definitely implying that he had come to Bishop Lawrence for help.

But why did Bishop Lawrence appear so cold?

Perhaps, this is the other party's temptation?

Thinking of this, Otto smiled unhurriedly.

"What Bishop Lawrence said, why don't I understand? Today I just went out, it happened to be raining heavily, thinking that I hadn't been to the church to pray for a long time, and it happened to be close to Emma Monastery, so I came here, and I didn't mean anything else. ”

"Really?" Lawrence stared at Otto, his eyes sweeping over him. "I thought you were here for the Earl's business."

"Something to do with your father?" Otto didn't react for a moment, and then, his eyes widened. "What does the Bishop mean, what is the secret of my father's injury this time?"

"I didn't say that." Lawrence laughed and shook his head. "Don't speculate."

Otto suddenly frowned, thinking.

Speaking of which, he also felt that the injury of the Count of Allgäu this time was a little strange. An earl, with knights and elite soldiers, to suppress bandits, what danger is there. Even if many of the bandits are wandering knights, but the gap in weapons and equipment is there, and there is the protection of regular knights, how can they be seriously injured due to falling off their horses?

According to the news sent back by the knights of the family, the Count of Allgäu had finished his mission to suppress bandits in the Duchy of Swabia and was about to lead his troops back like other colleagues, but he heard that the Duke of Swabia had accepted the request of King Lothair II to go to Burgundy to suppress bandits.

So, the Count of Allgäu, together with other nobles, went to Burgundy on the orders of the Duke of Swabia to suppress bandits.

I never thought that not long after I arrived in Burgundy, such an accident happened.

Otto also felt a little outrageous, but thinking about the armor on the knight's body that weighed dozens of pounds, falling on the ground would indeed cause huge damage, plus the war horse was frightened and trampled, it was not impossible to be seriously injured.

So when I heard the news, even if I felt that it was difficult to accept, I could only admit it. After all, Otto had heard of more bizarre injuries or deaths than this.

It's just that Lawrence said this, which made Otto even more suspicious in his heart, could it be that there is something hidden behind this, could it be that the stepmother's energy has been able to achieve this level? Then how much chance does he have in his hands?

"I'm sorry, my lordship, the gods forgive me for my presumptuousness, I want to know everything about my father's injury, and please tell me about it."

"Young Master Otto, among the twelve main gods, I don't know which one you prefer?" Lawrence did not answer Claire's question directly, but digressed the subject.

The church believes in polytheism, and the number of gods is naturally more than twelve, but according to the mythology that circulates, the authority and divine power of the twelve main gods are higher, and the twelve main gods are quite different from the previous versions of the twelve main gods that Otto was familiar with, and it is said that the former Roman polytheism evolved after fusing Greek and Egyptian mythology.

They are the god of the sun (god of light), the god of the moon (god of night), the god of fire (god of fire), the god of water (god of the sea), the god of wind, the god of life, the god of the sky, the god of the earth, the god of wisdom, the god of wealth, the god of love, and the god of war.

And among the twelve main gods, the god of the sun and the god of the moon have the highest status and the most believers. The twelve purple-clothed archbishops of the church also represent different factions of the main god, and the chief archbishop has always been held by the purple-clothed archbishops of the sun god and the moon god in turn, and this has been the case for nearly a thousand years.

Compared with monotheistic religions, polytheism has the advantage of being more inclusive, but the disadvantage is that it is often prone to division and confrontation within itself because of different beliefs in specific gods. The church that evolved from the Roman polytheism was quite well organized, cohesive and attractive, and eventually resisted the invasion of the monotheistic religion and was not replaced by the monotheistic religion as Otto remembers.

Of course, even if the status of the state religion is established, the problem of the church still exists, that is, internal factional disputes. As the supreme deity of the twelve main gods of the Church, the battle between the sun god and the moon god has not yet been answered, and the power struggle between the two clergymen represented by the corresponding controversy has never stopped.

Thinking that the current chief archbishop of the church is from the Sun God faction, it is rumored that the chief archbishop named Siegel is not in good health and may die soon, and the chief archbishop of the church will have a new round of elections, and the struggle within the church has already been fierce.

The last three successive archbishops have come from the Sun God faction, and the Moon God faction has failed three times. One side wants to defend its power, and the other side wants to regain power, what bloody storm will be, you don't need to think about it, you can guess roughly.

Could it be that the death of Otto's father has something to do with the internal struggle of the church? But these struggles were confined to the Church, and had nothing to do with the secular aristocracy, and how could Otto's father, a little earl, be involved in the struggles of the Church?

Thinking of the moon pattern on the chests of Priest Matthew and Bishop Lawrence, Otto was relieved and pretended to be reverent.

"I have the same belief in the gods, and I don't have any preferences, but when I pray, I pray to the moon god more often."

At this time, if you say that you believe in the moon god, it is a little too fake, and it is completely enough to say that you are biased towards the moon god.

"It turns out that Young Master Otto is also a servant of the moon god, which is not quite the same as your father." Hearing Otto's answer, Lawrence's gaze at Otto softened a lot. With Otto's age, he is biased towards the moon god in his heart, as long as he cultivates it carefully, he will definitely become a devout believer in the moon god in the future, and Matthew's court teacher work is quite good.

Otto listened quietly, and did not speak, he knew, no need to ask, Bishop Lawrence continued.

The Church does not exclude believers from believing in a single deity, and the vast majority of believers at this time, like Otto, believe in gods, and only a few are devout believers in a certain main god, apparently, Otto's father is the latter.

"Count Allgäu is a devout disciple of the god of the earth, I really didn't expect his heir to be a believer in the god of the moon." Lawrence seemed to be talking to himself.

"Poor Count Aargau, the god of the earth has not been able to shelter him, and he has been persecuted. Fortunately, the moon god is above and will bless his children and let them grow up safely. ”

With that, Lawrence turned to Otto.

"Otto, a follower of the Luna, the injury of the Count of Allgäu is indeed not an accident, do you really want to know everything?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I think that if it were not an accident, a son avenging his father, even if he did something contrary to the doctrine, the gods would forgive me, right?"
