Chapter 370: The Holy See and the Knights' Association
After walking with Dennis for three days, Fang Rui arrived at Ranson City.
This is the most majestic city on the Ash Continent, and it is also the supreme ruling place of the Holy See on the Ash Continent.
The Holy See, the Knight Association, and the Inquisition, the core of the three major institutions, are all in this city, and there is a cardinal archbishop, a paladin, and a chief inquisition, all of whom are capable of fighting against the top golden immortals.
On a planet, there are only dozens of people living like this.
In fact, from here, we can see the decline of the Holy Realm - in the Immortal Realm, even in the Inner Domain, on a planet, there are tens of thousands of Golden Immortal-level existences, to say the least, and the high-grade Immortal Gate that is qualified to occupy the development of a planet has a real person under its command, hundreds of Gu Immortals, and tens of thousands of Golden Immortals, and the strength is far more than the full strength of a Saint Realm planet.
Now the number of planets in the Holy Realm is not as good as that of the Immortal Realm, and the combat power stationed on each planet is not as good as that of the Immortal Realm...... If this continues, sooner or later, the Holy Realm will be destroyed by the Immortal Realm.
Now the Immortal Realm has not made a move, it is because the Saint Realm still has a very strong force, and if the other party is destroyed in a full-scale war now, he will also suffer a great loss.
But if this situation continues, the Three Realms will only get weaker and weaker, and the Immortal Realm will become stronger and stronger.
Of course, this is not something that these archbishops can consider.
This city is a large city without exaggeration, there are millions of civilians living in it every day, and there are tens of thousands of powerful knights, priests and deacons to acropolize the city, even if the demonic beasts of the entire continent are united, they will not be able to cause any damage to this city.
And today, the gates of the city are opened.
The divine chant sounded, welcoming Fang Rui's arrival.
Although the Knight Captain is one level lower than the Paladin, the Knight Captain who can have a province is also one of the highest beings on the planet, so he is naturally worthy of such a reception.
Hundreds of knights spread out like goose wings on both sides of the city gate, the honor guards in their hands were raised, and the arches were erected, and hundreds of red-robed priests appeared behind them, also lined up on both sides, chanting hymns continuously.
In the shadows, many black-clad deacons hid in the darkness to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
White light filled the air, and all the civilians who passed by prostrated themselves and prayed reverently.
A tall knight came up to him, he had a gray beard, he looked very old, but he was still in good spirits.
"This is the instructor of the Knight Academy, and he is also a knight master. Dennis whispered behind Fang Rui's ear.
Fang Rui nodded, then greeted him, and bowed to the tutor according to the etiquette taught by Dennis.
"You are very remarkable to be able to inherit the holy weapon and become a great knight chief, Andre! However, to become a true knight, it is not enough to have strength, but also to have noble qualities...... If you come today, then come with me to the Knights' Guild and receive guidance on etiquette. The tutor laughed.
Before Fang Rui could answer, a clear voice sounded: "Lord Claude, this is not possible, the archbishop is still waiting for Andre to go to the Holy See to bless him." ”
With the voice, an old man in a red robe, holding a wooden staff in his hand, and covered in jewels, strolled over from the other side of the long street, followed by several old men who were also wearing red robes and had expressionless faces.
"What does this mean, Bishop Louis?"
Mentor Claude showed anger on his face: "Andre, he inherited the knight's holy weapon, of course, you need to go to the knight association first, register, and then go to the knight school to learn etiquette!"
"It's okay to change your normal life, but now, it's a special moment. ”
Cardinal Louis said slowly: "Those pagans in the fairy world have invaded, and countless knights and priests have died tragically for the apologetics, now is the time to employ people, how can he learn the etiquette for so long?"
Then he raised his head, looked at Fang Rui and said softly: "Knight Chief Andre, follow me to the Holy See, let the archbishop pray for you, and then, you can participate in the knight assessment, if you can pass the guò assessment, then you will be the ruler of a province!"
Tutor Claude opened his mouth, then stomped his foot heavily, glanced at Fang Rui, and quickly turned to leave.
He came alone, but Bishop Louis seemed to be prepared, followed by four cardinals of the same level, even if he wanted to make a move, he couldn't beat five papal masters of the same level as himself......
Louis smiled slightly, and said to Fang Rui, "Please come with me." ”
Fang Rui nodded, then followed behind Louis and walked towards the city.
The knights and priests at the gate also began to withdraw one after another, and the civilians who had previously bowed down reverently climbed up and left the gate, and the gate returned to its usual appearance and began to become calm.
"Andrey, now we're going to see the archbishop...... Do you understand what that means?"
Louis asked, seemingly unconcerned, as he walked.
Before coming, Fang Rui asked Dennis about some information, the struggle within the Holy See is not small, especially the Holy See and the Knight Association are not under the same jurisdiction, except that the Inquisition is only responsible for cleaning up and does not occupy the territory, for the rule and taxation of the entire continent, the conflict between the Holy See and the Knight Association is not small.
There is one more knight chief, it is not big, it is not small, but it is also the territory of a province, if this knight is close to the knight association, then the power of the knight association will be greater, if this knight chief is close to the Holy See, then the power of the Holy See will be greater.
If Fang Rui, the chief knight, was cultivated by the Knight Academy, then there was nothing the Holy See could do, but Fang Rui was obviously a wild man, and naturally the Holy See had to work hard to fight for it.
Hearing Louis say this, Fang Rui immediately straightened his waist and said loudly: "Lord Bishop, Andre is an ordinary person from a poor country, he luckily got the inheritance of the holy weapon to become a knight chief, I don't know anything else, I only know that only the brilliance of the Holy Father can shine on the whole world!"
Louis was very satisfied with Fang Rui's answer.
"Yes, Andrei, the brilliance of the Holy Father, is the most important existence in this world. Supreme, great, great, great...... And the Holy See is the closest place to the Holy Father, and to protect the Holy See is to protect the Holy Father, to defend the glory and glory of the Holy Father in the world, do you understand?"
If Fang Rui was indeed a kid from the countryside who suddenly gained great strength, he was naturally fooled by Louis's words.
He smiled secretly in his heart at this moment, but his face was full of loyalty: "Your Excellency, Andre understands that to protect the Holy See is to protect the Holy Father...... When the kid was in the countryside, under the longbow, I don't know how many fierce beasts he shot, but now with this holy weapon bow and arrow, how many magical beasts come, and the kid has also shot them!"
Louis smiled dumbly: "What are those monsters?, but Andre, it's a good thing that you have such pride, hehe......"
As he spoke, Louis's eyes caught a glimpse of the little bastard following the horse, and his eyes lit up: "You hound is born to be powerful......
The little bastard snorted at him twice, and climbed onto the horse along Fang Rui's long legs stretched out on the ground, Fang Rui took the little bastard in his arms and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a hound that grew up with me since I was a child, if it weren't for its sensitive nose, the kid wouldn't have been able to shoot so many fierce beasts." ”
Talking along the way, we soon arrived at the place where the Holy See is located - on the territory of the Holy Realm, the most magnificent building must be the church, and the Holy See is the key to the church of the entire continent, and naturally it is even more majestic and magnificent.
Dismounted with Louis, Fang Rui patted the little bastard on the head and let him play here by himself, and then followed Louis to meet the supreme head of the Holy See, the cardinal archbishop.
As the supreme ruler under the angels of the Holy Realm, the cardinal archbishop is naturally a good hand, although he may not be as good as an ordinary knight on the frontal battlefield, but if there are enough guards for them to chant spells and summon holy light, the lethality is much stronger than that of ordinary knights.
The three types of masters in the Holy Realm, the knights charge head-on, their personal strength is strong, and the priests are weak, but with enough protection, they can play a great role, and as for the deacons of the Inquisition, assassination, lurking, and espionage are their forte.
The cardinal archbishop on the Ash Continent is named Christine, and he is extremely old - no matter what the Holy Realm is except for the angels, the body is still a human body, although it can fight against the immortal Heavenly Immortal Golden Immortal in the Immortal Realm, the lifespan is not very long.
Those knights and deacons are physically strong and generally live longer than ordinary people, but the priests are weak and have the same lifespan as ordinary people, even cardinals.
Seeing Fang Rui standing there blankly, not knowing what to say, Cardinal Christine's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Andrei is a strong believer and is blessed. Now is the time for the Holy See to employ people, as long as you can do a good job for the Holy See, then ...... Naturally there will be benefits for you. Christine said lightly.
Fang Rui saluted Christine and said loudly: "Andre doesn't dare to hope for any benefits, he is only willing to contribute my qi qi for the Holy Father!"
"Okay, go down and rest...... The Holy See will inform you of the location of your territory within three days' time after studying it. Christine laughed.
Fang Rui saluted again, and then took Dennis and left the Holy See hall with the guidance of a priest.
"Luis, have you investigated the origin of this Andre?"
Louis didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down and said: "Archbishop, it has been investigated clearly, this person is from Orion, he has been hunting outside the town of Green Town on the edge of Felwood Province since he was a child, and recently, because knights, priests and deacons from all over the country have been mobilized to meet the enemy, leading the surrounding demonic beasts to chaos, he was forced to leave the town and enter the town of Greenland...... After making great contributions in the expedition, he obtained the inheritance of the paladin, so that he had the strength of the knight chief. ”
Speaking of this, Louis smiled: "Shicai is on the road, I have been talking to him for a long time, this person has a firm faith, but he doesn't understand other things, he is indeed a very good object." ”
Christine nodded: "Well, such a person is really good, if he has enough ability, then he can be our help...... This time, the knights of the entire continent have lost almost thirty percent, and there will definitely be provinces vacant, we have to fight for one, and one province is controlled by us, so that we can better suppress the knight association, and we can't let those barbarians ride on our heads!"
