The visitor glanced at the strange-shaped aristocratic corpses on the ground in disgust, and characterized them as [Paladin]:

"They are all depraved people who ignore the teachings of the gods and take the blame on themselves.

There is no place for you in Heaven! ”

No matter how strict the sages are in self-discipline and leniency with others, it is difficult to turn a blind eye to these curious nobles who are as depraved as the devil.

But he remembered that some of the traditionalist clergy in the church did not seem to be much better than them.

Some people are not worth saving, some people are not worth working with, and the Paladin's belief in the independence of his Protestant Church from the traditionalism of the church is becoming stronger and stronger.

"It's just that Protestantism is weak, and it needs to be attached to secular kingship more than traditionalism.

Now several saints within the sect are planning to take the lead in helping some princes of the Holy Silver Empire, who have been most poisoned by the traditionalists, to become independent.

It is a pity that the Yorkists were staunch lackeys of the traditionalists, otherwise the Hattings, as an offshore island nation, would have been one of the natural reserved positions of Protestantism.

Even the powerful traditionalists don't have the strength to go on an expedition across the sea. ”

Of course, these plans obviously won't leak out in advance, and no matter how much thoughts are pouring in their hearts, their faces are like rocks without revealing a trace.

At the same time, Catherine was relieved of her fighting state and reverted to her original elegant and dignified countess.

He raised the hem of his skirt with both hands and curtsy to the paladin, and his demeanor was impeccable.

"Good day, Lord Oliver, the Creator is with you."

Because any religion must have a secular royal power to proselytize, it was not uncommon for clergy to enter and leave the court.

The two siblings had met most of the high-ranking clergy in the kingdom of Hattings.

Before leaving, the two siblings also knew the identity of their collaborators in Protestantism from their father's mouth, and naturally recognized each other at a glance.

This paladin, who has the name of [Holy Hammer], was still seriously thinking about what these strange evil spirits that he had never seen in the realm of the Hattings Kingdom were, and why they appeared here.

It wasn't until Catherine saluted that she realized that she had met an unexpected old man.

Stunned, he hurriedly returned the salute meticulously, and his face, which was originally as unsmiling as a rock, also had a rare trace of kindness:

"Countess Greenville?

Miss Catherine, may the glory of the Lord shine on you forever!

I heard that you were transferred to the Bantaan Islands last year, and it must be the blessing of the Creator to meet you again in your homeland today.

It's great to see you're okay. ”

After looking up and down for a while, the somewhat unexpected combination in front of him was expected.

One is the adopted daughter of the Lancaster family, and the other is the legendary "Great Loyalist" of the York family, the commander-in-chief of the bandits, and the prospective earl of Fort Riptide who sank the [Blue Dragon King] for the second time.

No matter how much the paladin doesn't care about current affairs, he still has a thunderous ear for the [Sea Hunter] name.

The legend of the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit is doubtful, but no one can deny that he is indeed the best young man in the kingdom of Hattings this year, and there is no one.

Probably misunderstood, and felt that the only explanation for this group was that Lancaster's adopted daughter had to compromise under the obscenity of the great loyalist of York.

Life must have been very hard.

The eyes that were as pure and bright as babies dimmed a little, and he didn't take into account that the "Great Loyal Servant of York" was by his side, and apologized to Catherine with a little shame:

"I'm sorry about the Lancaster royal family.

If you have any trouble in the royal capital, you can send someone to find me at Westminster Abbey, and there is absolutely no problem in escorting you out of Kingston safely. ”

One of the triggers for the traditionalists of the church to support the destruction of the Red Rose by the Yorkist family was that Lancaster became closer to them and secretly helped them.

It also allowed the teachings of Protestantism in China to be widely disseminated.

But in the sudden upheaval of the Strait of Dover, Protestantism did not help Lancaster.

White Rose used her oversized presence to help change the world overnight, and they didn't even react.

Even the later investigation of the York family's collusion with the [North Sea Demon Kraken] was blocked by the inquisition controlled by the traditionalists.

As a good man who is strict with himself, Oliver [Holy Hammer] is clearly guilty about this matter.

Byron was not suitable for his identity and did not speak, and Catherine comforted him sincerely:

"The dispute over secular royal power has nothing to do with you and Protestantism, and my father will never blame you, so please don't blame yourself."

This was not a kind remark, and the two of them and the Lancastrians did not anger the Protestant collaborator.

Because the doctrines of the two schools determined the difference in the rules of conduct, Protestantism was supposed to be far from the world and from the king.

The doctrine of the Traditionalism says: "The Blessed Lady bears birth to the Son, and it is to be worshipped; The Pope is the Creator's spokesman on earth and needs to be worshipped. ”

Protestantism, on the other hand, is more pure, and they exalt the Gospel of Creation, saying, "There is no god but the Creator, and no idolatry is allowed."

Everyone has their part to do, and hard work is the best reward for the Creator. ”

The essential difference between the two sides is that the latter wants to make God's spokesman on earth unemployed and completely strip them of their privileges!

The current struggle between old and new doctrines in the Old World is essentially a struggle for power.

It is caused by the desperate resistance of those with conscience inside and outside the world after the traditionalists have been squeezing the world through various methods such as tithes and indulgences.

It is also a fatal stab to the henchmen of the traditionalists.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Lancaster's choice to support Protestantism is because he sees the organizational strength of Protestantism as inadequate, and the essence is to weaken the church power in the kingdom of Hattings and strengthen the royal power.

Such an ally is naturally not as powerful as the power-hungry traditionalists, let alone the traditionalists, who actively seek eternal life, in vain to become angels on earth or even gods, and occupy that supreme authority forever.

It's reassuring.

The path is chosen by oneself, and the anger of others is not at all.

Even if Byron ascends to the throne in the future, for the sake of the royal power in his hands, he still has to cooperate with Protestantism.

Even if you can't pee in the same pot with these sages, it is not a big deal to form your own royal state church, and become the king and the head of the church yourself.

Anyway, Byron never thought of completely getting rid of the church and going it alone.

Do you think that it is still the previous life of "dripping your own sweat, eating your own food, doing your own things, relying on heaven and earth and relying on your ancestors", is not considered a hero?

My lord, the world has changed!

In addition to accepting the title and offering the "emperor's new clothes", Byron's other main purpose was to examine the strength of his collaborators.

Assess in advance whether these former collaborators can help them share the pressure of the traditionalists in the event of a war with the Yorks.

Hearing Catherine's relief, [Holy Hammer] Oliver also realized his gaffe, and glanced at Byron with a correct expression:

"On behalf of the church, I would like to thank a few people for their timely intervention to stop the spread of the disaster.

Please evacuate first, and leave the rest to our [Night's Watch]. ”

"It's fine. The identity of the victim and the manner in which he was killed are somewhat sensitive, and it is not suitable for us to be deeply involved, so it will be hard for you. ”

Byron had learned from his father that paladin was Oliver's transcendent profession and that the Night's Watch was his job.

The Night's Watch is an independent organization within the Church that will exist as long as it is a church state recognized by the Silver Law.

Never meddles in secular affairs, but exists to protect the human race.

Organizational motto:

"We swear to protect this world and fight against the 'deep sea'!"

"We are hidden in the dark, and we have no access to power!"

"We are the ones who bear the sword, and one day, we will die by the sword!"

The organization itself is saddled with a powerful curse from the essentia sea: "There is no one who dies well." ”

None of this organization survives to old age.

The Night's Watchman, who has no selfishness and focuses on public interests, is indeed very suitable for most of the [Paladins] who have no children and only have firm beliefs.

This is also why the traditionalists know that many of the Night's Watch and Paladins are dissatisfied with their actions, and secretly join the purer Protestant faith, but they can't kill them, and they don't dare to do it.

If you dare to throw away the ballast stone yourself, the first to be eaten will be the church itself.

As Byron and his party were about to walk out of the hall, the paladin suddenly reminded them:

"I seem to smell the evil gods and their lackeys here, and if you get news of heresy, be sure to report it to the Night's Watch as soon as possible.

Especially Lord St. Byron, if you are interested in joining the ranks of the Night's Watch, I am willing to be your guide. ”

The evil gods in the mouth of the church are the old gods, but as a monotheistic religion, they will never admit that those creatures who are immersed in the essentia sea have once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Creator.

"Your Excellency, no problem, the day after tomorrow is my knighthood, and I don't want anyone to mess with it.

As for joining the Night Watch? There are opportunities to work together. ”

Byron promised on his lips, but he secretly laughed in his heart:

"Report a heresy suspected of converting to an evil god?

Boring, this time I just want to see a river of blood! ”

Although he admired the noble sentiments of these paladins and night watchmen, he could never become one of them.

As long as it doesn't affect the civilians, he can't wait for the royal party and the earl's party to kill you to the death.

If the fight wasn't fierce enough, Byron might have to deliberately arch two fires.

Led Catherine and Salant out of the building, the black [Deathwing] behind them neatly lined up in two rows, silently following in the rain.

Stomp and tread

The invisible sense of oppression made the follow-up late, and the city guards and the Star Chamber Court, who could only be responsible for washing the floor, swallowed their saliva, and automatically gave way to the sides, and no one dared to come forward to talk.

Byron's [divine view] fell into the thickening cumulonimbus cloud a few hundred meters overhead.

The ink on the logbook is smudged: "No. 10 painting spirit, Notos, rain god, creator [Hell Painter] Leonardo." ”

With a flash of his eyes, he already knew why the material world had just entered the "intertidal zone", which would cause a death stranding accident.

"It's hard to flood the whole thing, but it's easy to get flooded in parts, like a heavy rainstorm and a bloody slaughter in the court.

Things are getting more and more interesting. ”

[Hidden: The death stranding incident under the dispute between the two parties, the historical influence 28] The resolution density then jumped to 46%

A few streets away from the scene of the murder, the attic of a building with a great view has been carefully arranged to look like a studio.

The small space is filled with beautiful paintings, large and small.

It's just that these oil paintings look lifelike, but the content on them is all a little overly gloomy and bloody.

Most of the paintings are numbered, from one to eighteen, and have a uniform prefix in their names: "Eighteen Views of Hell".

A young painter is holding a paintbrush and a palette and painting an equally gloomy oil painting of downtown Kingston outside the window.

The main body is an almost one-to-one replica of the royal capital city, and the central location is the Ganquan Palace, which has belonged to the White Rose York family.

However, a big red dragon with seven heads and ten horns spread its wings in the sky, casting a pitch-black shadow that enveloped the entire Ganquan Palace and several nearby streets.

Melrose Street, not far from Ganquan Palace, is one of them.

If anyone has studied the Gospel of Creation, they will be able to recognize at a glance that the superfluous image on this painting is [Abyss Messenger: The Great Red Dragon Abaddon]!

Legend has it that it was the embodiment of the devil, and in the battle of Ragnarok, he tried to devour the son of the woman who wore the sun, the Son of the Trinity, and was knocked to the ground in battle.

Then he was caught by an angel sent by the Creator, bound in great chains, and thrown into the bottomless pit at the edge of the world, where he was to be imprisoned for 1,500 years.

In addition to the [Abyss Messenger], the great red dragon Abaddon is also known as: [Lord of the Bottomless Pit] and [King of Harmful Grasshoppers].

Reign in power over the Land of Destruction, the Realm of the Dead, the Blight, and more.

However, a handful of ancient explorers like Byron knew that all of the villains mentioned in the Gospel of Creation were the old gods of the great races in the mythological age.

For example, the Great Red Dragon King Abaddon was originally the ruler of the Channel Islands during the era when the Dragon Court ruled the entire Old World.

Even the famous [Knight King] in ancient times had the blood of a red dragon on his body, and was also known as the "Red Dragon of Black Tins".

As for now, this eighty percent is another avenger who has been lying in the sea for more than a thousand years and is seeking to make a comeback.

"Leonardo, what's going on? I just received a message from the City Guards, why was 'Death Stranding' triggered earlier?! ”

In the studio, a gray-haired but majestic projection appeared behind the painter and questioned him urgently.

At the same time, the pitch-black [Headless Horseman] in the No. 3 oil painting suddenly let out a scream.

Then, as if someone had been chopped off, it fell to pieces on the canvas.

Immediately afterwards, the paint turned black and flowed from the canvas all over the canvas.

The painter stopped his brush and turned around with a frown.

It is clear to people that Leonardo, the [Hell Painter] with strange and unpredictable methods, is just a handsome young man about twenty years old.

He was wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, his long blonde hair was tied into pigtails and hung down to his waistcoat, and his olive-green eyes were extremely deep.

No matter where he goes, he is a standard artist in the minds of ordinary people.

And it does have the maverick of an art practitioner.

Completely ignoring the questioning of the Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker, he took out a pile of powder and remixed the pigment as soon as possible.

From a small glass bottle beside him, he poured out a magical liquid as light as gas and heavy as mercury.

Let the otherwise ordinary pigment present an incomparably real dreamy texture.

One can't help but wonder if in the next second these paints could become brioche bread, clouds, castles, night sky, and so on.

[Kingmaker] Warwick has long known the character of this collaborator, and his patience with him is obviously not low.

But seeing him paint with the incomparably precious "Fifth Element", I couldn't help but feel a pain in my flesh.

According to the Bottomless Pit Beast Seal, the forbidden book obtained from the secret society "Abyss Esoteric Sect" to which the other party belongs:

"The fifth element is mercury, which has the duality of spirit and life in itself, and deals with all things that are unstable and imperfect.

It is the eternal brilliance, the elixir that grants all wishes, the glorious immortal bird of the heavenly kingdom, the most precious treasure of all wealth, and the important possession of the whole of nature.

As long as you get a steady stream of fifth element replenishment, the soul can gain immortality!

Although it is not as perfect as the blood of eternal life, it is also the most precious treasure in the world.

All of the Evil Spirits Lost from the Death Stranding are essentially used as extractors of the Fifth Element.

It can absorb the existence and lifespan of a living person and transform it into this precious substance. ”

Leonardo, the painter of hell, took care of his own pen and painted, and quickly repainted a more fierce "Headless Horseman" on the canvas.

The theoretically immortal being was slashed by Byron's penetration, and a new cursed spirit was born again.

The painter looked at his work, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the [King Maker] behind him, and explained to him lightly:

"The water level is not high enough for the time being, and the death of less than five people at one time will not cause an accident.

This time, it was because a group of nobles encountered a monster rampaging during a monster party, and they didn't die so decently.

Many transcendent souls with strong resentments were born at the same time, which accidentally detonated the 'Death Stranding' accident locally.

Although there was a small accident in the middle, it was dealt with in a timely manner and did not cause the situation to get out of control.

Rest assured, Your Excellency, this forbidden knowledge has never been seen in the Old World before, and they do not know the nature of Death Stranding.

By the time the Inquisition and the Night's Watch have found some clues, our plan has already succeeded.

However, Your Excellency the King Maker, you are really bold enough to come to me in the royal capital through the projection of the legal net of the [Iron Law of Kingship].

Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out? ”

[Kingmaker] Warwick heard the other party's explanation, knowing that this accident would not affect his future plans, his face relaxed slightly, and he said with some pride:

"Don't look at me as I don't have a surname York, nor a surname like Lancaster, nor a descendant of any branch of the Plantagenet dynasty, but this kingdom of the Black Courts is still half as much as my kingmaker Warwick.

Coupled with the Earl's Party that I control, the so-called 'Majesty' may not have as much weight in the Magna Carta as I am. ”

In fact, the special effect of the title of [King Maker] is somewhat similar to Byron's stock, as a powerful minister and the first meritorious hero, supporting a king to ascend the throne can divide half of the other party's authority.

Even an overnight stay in the dragon bed is only a step away.

As long as his son-in-law, George, Duke of Clarence, ascends to the throne, Warwick will personally put on the crown that belongs to Edward IV, and he will be able to share half of the power.

At that time, the entire kingdom of Darks was in power, and his son-in-law, the new king, George, was just a puppet on the surface.

It is enough for him to reach the extreme realm of a foreign surname and a powerful minister - to bring the king to order the princes.

What's more

Warwick's eyes flickered with blazing flames.

"The fourth-order mythical creature corresponding to the Forbidden Book 'Bottomless Pit Beast Seal' is the [Devil] who rules the bottomless pit of hell!

Although it is a spirit creature, it can also be immortalized in a clever way.

It is precisely because the soul and the fifth element are the source of the devil's eternal life that they become the currency of the devil's trade.

As long as the soul is immortal, you can possess others at will, replace your body that will eventually grow old a little bit, and live in the world forever.

And the best object of possession is the descendants of one's own bloodline, whether it is a direct bloodline or a grandson! ”

Yes, grandson.

The succession to the throne in the Old World has always paid attention to blood, and under the [Iron Law of Royal Power], only nobles who have royal blood and are at the top of the succession order have the opportunity to become kings.

And although Warwick is strong enough to help Edward IV gain the throne, he does not have any advantage in this regard and will never be recognized by the law.

According to common sense, no matter how powerful he is, he can only be a powerful relative of the king's mother's family, helping his grandson suppress uncles with the same surname.

But the forbidden book "Bottomless Pit Beast Print" gave him a new chance.

Therefore, Warwick has only one goal, which is to become the one who has the most influence on the king first, and let his daughter have children with York's puppet king.

Occupy that grandson's body again.

As long as he obtains the bloodline of the York family, and with a two-pronged approach, taking the throne of this country is not a matter of probing?

He didn't even care if it was a girl or a boy.

Anyway, if the plan goes well, every few decades, Warwick will change his body, and sooner or later there will be a woman's first experience.

Moreover, it is not speculation, but success stories are just around the corner.

Legend has it that Leonardo, a painter, sculptor, scientist, military engineer, architect, and other professions at the same time, is the "Painter of Hell".

The true artists of these temple sequences are so perceptive that when they open their vision, they often see many things that should not be seen.

And it's called inspiration.

In peacetime under the strict protection of the Silver Law, it may be fine.

But as the world has slipped down the "intertidal zone", they have gradually become a walking time bomb.

For example, Leonardo, the [painter of hell], is said to have visited Hell in an accidental coma after hitting his head, and after waking up, he suddenly had extraordinary drawing abilities and painted countless scenes of hell, each of which was a powerful curse.

And he knows without learning, and knows countless advanced knowledge that no one knows.

But in fact, his body has been occupied by his ancestors for an unknown number of generations, and has become someone else's instrument of immortality.

And his role model.

[Kingmaker] Warwick looked at Leonardo with burning eyes, and said coldly:

"The day after tomorrow is the knighthood ceremony of that Byron Tudor, I want him to die a miserable death, and I want the royal party to bleed!"

Leonardo, the Painter of Hell, nodded calmly.

"As you wish."

Picking up the brush and smearing two more strokes on the oil painting in front of him, the torrential rain in the sky immediately became heavier and heavier, and the water on the ground rose higher and higher.

After being castrated, the [Iron Law of Kingship] has no power to command nature, and two days later, Ganquan Palace will definitely become a Ze country.

The high water level will also be an excellent breeding ground for the birth of countless [Lost People]!

Warwick left satisfied, not seeing a hint of mockery flashing in the eyes of the [Hell Painter] behind him.
