Chapter 67: Archbishop Valen
Apollo Cathedral, located on the top of the holy mountain of Base 27, covers an area of 100,000 square meters, and the dark court located on the magic peak of Base 28 is far away, one black and one white, sitting at the "gate of the country", facing each other for hundreds of years.
On the border line of the two major forces, there are elite Legions of Light and Legion of Darkness, under the mediation of the federal government, there is no big war, small frictions are constant, from time to time you come and go, for the so-called struggle for faith and resources, I don't know how many people have died in hundreds of years.
On this day, the holy bell of Apollo Cathedral rang, melodious and solemn, like a call from heaven, and like a blessing from the true God, ringing in the ears of every devout believer, the alarm clock heart, overwhelming, gradually drifting away, as if to guide the believers to the embrace of the god of light.
The magnificent and charming multicolored glass dome is full of legends and countless gorgeous hymns of praise that the gods descended to the world to bless all beings, slay demons and eliminate demons, and create the kingdom of God.
The four cardinals, dressed in red robes, stood tall, but the pope, which symbolized the first person under the god-king, was empty.
A ruddy-faced bishop on the left side of the first seat spoke slowly, his voice was very magnetic and charming, and it stopped in the ears of people with an indescribable pleasant sound, which made people feel the approval and convincing in the depths of their souls.
"The war of the last days, for hundreds of years, the great Church of Light has been committed to spreading the glory of the gods, so that God's blessings can shine in every corner of this dark earth, but unfortunately, sadly, lamentably, there are still sinful heresies who are not only not grateful, but instead question the great gods and openly oppose the Church of Light, which makes me very sad!" said the red-faced bishop in a deep voice.
Beneath the throne were the jade chairs of the four different factions, the backrest on the far left was an extremely gorgeous image of the Codex, followed by the sword and shield emblem under the Iron and Blood Battle Banner, the second was a huge and heavy sword, and the last one was an ancient staff full of intricate runes.
The old man sitting on the stone chair with the back of the big sword was extremely burly, dressed in a fiery red holy robe, with a badge on his chest that sealed the demon cage, a fiery red ring in his right hand, and a delicate golden sword in his left hand.
He said angrily: "Respected Archbishop Hill, Pan Heng, a disciple of the Sword God Ancient One, wantonly slaughtered the fierce beasts in the base of the Church of Light, not only that, but also murdered Galileo, the Angel of Judgment, who went to stop him, and even Joyce, Bailey, and Rossini were brutally killed, I, the presiding judge Giles, proposed that we must dispatch the Judgment Angel Legion to capture and suppress him in the Divine Prison, and let him repent for a thousand years, maybe my God can forgive his sins!"
Archbishop Hill slowly closed his eyes and said: "The dignity of God cannot be desecrated, the glory of the Church of Light cannot be tarnished, Pan Heng relied on the sword god Gu Yi to wantonly kill the important believers of my church, we must kill heretics and revive the prestige of my Church of Light!"
"Kill heretics and raise your might!"
The crowd in the main hall was suddenly indignant, and the cries were like waves, full of voices condemning the heresy Pan Heng.
A silver-haired old man on the right side of the first seat suddenly spoke, easily suppressed the shouts of the people like a mountain, and said: "Sword God Gu Yi is in charge of the Sword God Mountain of the Martial Arts Association, and he is also the vice president of the Association, besides, the Martial Arts Association and the Human Limit Pavilion have always been friendly, and the Dark Court is ready to move, we have to guard against it!"
"Are you afraid, Archbishop Valen, are you going to throw away the glory of God?" said the presiding judge, Giles, who stood up and stared at Archbishop Navalen with burning eyes.
"Huh?"
Varen's cloudy eyes suddenly shot out ten thousand golden rays, and the believers looked at it as if two blazing golden suns rose out of thin air in the main hall, and the brilliant divine power made people dare not look at it directly, and even the other three cardinal archbishops were surrounded by holy light, resisting this golden light.
The presiding judge, Giles, was the first to bear it, only to feel a sudden sharp pain in his heart, like being hammered, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes when he looked at Archbishop Valen again, and hurriedly sat down.
Valen's voice as thick as a holy bell echoed in the main hall: "Believers, two hundred years ago, the former old pope was ambushed and seriously injured by the abominable dark court, who purified the demons alone and rescued the old pope?"
As soon as these words came out, the other three cardinals and the four cardinals were silent in their hearts, but their eyes were dripping, and they didn't know what to think about.
A hundred years ago, the previous generation of demon gods in the dark court set a trap, killing millions of light legions, summoning demon gods to trap the old pope, the church of light was frightened one by one, no one dared to rescue, only Valen alone, a sword and a staff broke into the boundless demon army, fought fiercely with the demon king Satan for a hundred days, and finally saved the dying old pope.
It's a pity that something happened before the old pope returned to the arms of the god of light, otherwise it should be the Archbishop of Valen sitting on the magnificent throne in the middle now.
Therefore, in terms of qualifications, strength, and courage, almost no one can compete with him, and even he is the default cardinal leader of the faithful, that is, the legendary vice pope, the supreme archbishop above ten thousand people under the Church of Light.
It's a pity that this thing will not form a faction, none of the four cardinals is his descendant, and he only kills the really guilty people, he ignores all the so-called "heretics", and sincerely adheres to the teachings of the Light Bible, never imposes the slightest personal will, and wholeheartedly considers the long-term development of the Light Church.
Since then, although Archbishop Valen, who is "weak and weak", is powerful and has a very high status in the Church of Light, his voice is relatively not so important, otherwise the presiding judge Giles would not dare to contradict him in public.
However, Archbishop Hill was Giles's immediate boss, and he had to speak: "Archbishop Valen, who is also a servant of the God of Light, maybe Giles's expression is wrong, but his pious faith is not fake at all, it is better to do this, I propose that you personally take action, suppress Pan Heng, let him repent under the statue of Light, and then inform his master, the sword god Gu Yi, to lead the people, what do you mean, my dear Archbishop Valen." ”
Archbishop Valen really hit the plan, and agreed without hesitation, saying: "My proposal will naturally be completed by me, and I will deal with this matter fairly, justly and openly under the supervision of God!"
With that, Valen turned into a golden light and disappeared, and the other cardinal archbishops looked at each other, smiled disdainfully, and then left their own ones.
Presiding Judge Giles was also angry and ready to get up and leave, but he heard the voice of Archbishop Hill in his ears: "Giles, come to me!"
Giles's eyes lit up, his heart was secretly happy, he glared at Wallen's empty throne with hatred, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly!
