In the afternoon, it's the best time of the day.
The vibrant sun peeked through the dark clouds, illuminating the top of the hill and the Arcane Tower and the Imperial Palace in the distance.
But the most glorious thing is not these buildings, but the huge church.
This magnificent church has a rectangular plan, with a shrine protruding from the end and a spear at the top. Its atrium is wide and its vaults are covered with statues and decorations. The original side aisles were replaced by two rows of small prayer rooms on both sides. A dome rises from the center of the cross. The altar of the church is richly decorated and free, and the mountain flowers on it break through the classical French style to serve as icons and decorative lights.
This is the Church of the Holy Spirit, located in the most important church of Reims House, Winrington Cathedral.
It is one of the three top churches of the Church of the Holy Spirit, the other two being located in the Frank and Georgian imperial mansions.
The person who can become the bishop of such a church must be the person most trusted by His Majesty the Pope, and he has a high position of authority in the church.
Faircliffe is one such person.
Since his arrival at Winrington Cathedral three years ago, he has become the most powerful figure in the Church of the Reims Empire. Every year, he received hundreds of noble believers, preached throughout the country, preached doctrines, and received offerings from believers. The expansion of the Reims Empire, although not welcomed by the Church of the Holy Spirit, brought great opportunities for Faircliffe - the defeated people needed to be soothed and erased from their wounds, and the three groups of Franck's people needed the gods to listen to their voices, and all the devotions naturally went to the church.
Thus, in Faircliffe's own view, it was unnecessary for the church to interfere in national wars, whether it was won or lost, as long as their people still believed in the Church of the Holy Spirit and the gods who represented the light.
Of course, if the Reims Empire is defeated, perhaps Faircliffe will immediately ask for an explanation. It is said that the reason why the Church of the Holy Spirit intervened in this matter was also related to the archbishop of the Franconian Empire.
But today, Faircliffe didn't have the heart to complain about all this.
In fact, he was wearing a robe and crown with unprecedented pomp, holding a scepter in his right hand and a book in his left, followed by a large group of priests standing in front of the door of the cathedral. Behind them, a choir of eighty-eight teenagers stood respectfully wearing flower crowns.
They've been waiting here for almost half an hour.
The sun was scorching, and many priests were already tired and drowsy.
"Why haven't you come yet?" someone whispered.
"Hmm?......" Faircliffe glanced behind him dissatisfiedly, and the person who spoke was so frightened that he immediately shut up.
The long wait is tormenting, but fortunately, there will be an end.
The sound of horses' hooves trampling in the distance became clearer from far to near.
A war horse appeared in everyone's field of vision, it was a tall warrior wearing blood-colored armor, and his whole body was extremely majestic. His armor had three sharp spines on his shoulders, a blood-colored pattern carved into his chest, and a pitch-black spear in his hand, with a sharp edge.
After seeing the crowd of people, the spear in the samurai's hand raised it to the sky, and then a cavalry roared and rushed behind him, with an earth-shattering explosion, like a herd of beasts roaring on the ground, with all kinds of momentum.
If you look closely, this cavalry team is actually only 100 people, but it is this 100-person cavalry team, when their horse's hooves fall, they are neatly aligned, like soldiers stepping, which shows the training quality.
The cavalry roared towards the cathedral, seeing that they were getting closer and closer, but they did not mean to reduce in the slightest, so frightened that everyone was a little panicked.
The great general rushed straight towards Faircliffe, and when he saw that he was about to crash into it, the warrior slammed his horse, and Herod let out a cry, raised his hooves, and kicked his forefeet in the air, but he did not kick Faircliff in the head.
Almost the same action, all the knights made an emergency stop at the same time after the rush came, and the hundred horses roared in unison, and the momentum was magnificent.
Everyone was frightened by this hand, but Faircliffe's face remained calm as usual.
He clapped his hands slowly: "Rush fast, stop beautifully." ”
Under the blood-colored helmet, a line of appreciative gaze swept by, and a deep and heavy voice sounded: "The archbishop is indeed worthy of His Majesty the Pope's valued person. ”
"Lord Hamilton has passed the prize, and on behalf of all the parishioners of the Reims Empire, Faircliffe welcomes the arrival of the gods. ”
"You're welcome, Your Excellency, you and I are on the same level, so you don't have to be too humble. ”
After the politeness, Hamilton rolled over and dismounted, and the singing teenagers began to sing hymns.
As for the other knights, they turned to the back of the church under the guidance of others, and only two knights followed behind Hamilton.
Hamilton and Faircliffe talked as they walked inside the church.
"I'm sure the archbishop already knows what I'm here for?"
"Yes, Hue Igler. ”
"Honestly, I don't think it takes that much effort to deal with a Huigler, especially to mobilize a team of Holy Knights. Recently, the Church of the Cataclysm has been very active in Peking University6, and they have established several underground churches to secretly preach. Some time ago, I just destroyed one of their strongholds, and I got a message that they were going to make some big moves lately, and they were gathering resources everywhere. I had intended to follow this line, but His Majesty the Pope sent me to capture a teenager. You could hear Hamilton's tone tinged with dissatisfaction.
Faircliffe was a little surprised: "Have you heard of this teenager before?"
"I know something, I've done some things that give Stricker a lot of headaches, but that doesn't mean anything. Hamilton confidently replied: "I am a man of power, and the last thing I disdain is intrigues." This world cannot be supported by conspiracy, fists and faith can support the undefeated sky. ”
Hamilton raised his bowl-sized iron fist, the hideous thorns on his iron gauntlets glinting in the sunlight.
Faircliffe sighed.
He had thought that Hamilton didn't know Huey Glare, so he said that. Now it seems that he is too confident.
Arrogance is not a virtue of God's followers, but self-confidence is.
The problem is that the line between the two is hard to distinguish.
Hamilton was known in the church as arrogant, arrogant, and unremarkable, and in his eyes, Huegliel was like a grasshopper in the palm of his hand, from which he could not escape. In his opinion, there is only one reason why the Reims Empire is being played by Xiu Yi - it is not that the enemy is too cunning, but that the Reims people are too incompetent.
Faircliffe was skeptical of what would happen to him with Hamilton's mentality, but the church was responsible for the mission and the affairs of the church, the inquisition was responsible for adjudicating the guilt and sentencing, and the Holy Knights were responsible for carrying out the tasks.
So after all, he could only say: "Xiu Yiglaire may not be difficult to deal with, but his alchemy is very troublesome, and his black warrior may already have the strength to challenge the star powerhouse." If he is allowed to continue to develop, his future is limitless. ”
Hamilton replied in a cold tone, "That's exactly what I'm here for, and we're not going to accept a second Electra coming along." But the important thing is that no matter how great his potential is, he can't be our opponent right now. ”
"Hope it is as you wish. Faircliffe replied.
"So...... Any news of him?"
"Yes, our folks at the Arcane Tower have told us that Huigler will be at the Royal Coliseum for tonight. ”
Hamilton's eyes lit up: "The Royal Coliseum?"
"The problem is that we don't know who Hue Gler is, and if he's going to be disguised, we're going to have a hard time finding him. For this reason, the Wizards' Guild went to Raschel in the hope that he could find a way to force out Huyglaire. ”
Hamilton waved his hand: "Why bother? When the time comes, immediately surround all sides, and kill everyone except the royal family, and leave no one behind! In the name of God, cleanse all heresies, and the martyrs will ascend to Bliss forever!"
