The Roman Empire is very large, if you talk about the area alone, it is even much larger than the Tang Dynasty, and it is used to relying on the speed of Xiaojin, and now Han Tongwen feels that riding a horse is not much faster than a snail. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info rode a horse for four days in a row before I could see the shadow of the seven mountains.

"Ruby, we should be almost there," Han Tongwen asked.

"You should be able to get to Rome tonight, I heard that Chang'an is the most prosperous city of the five empires, I will take you to Rome City in a few years to see it," Ruby said with a smile.

"Don't do it, wait until I see Kandy"

"Are you sure you don't want to see Rome?"

"I have a vague feeling that something is going to happen, so I won't go"

Han Tongwen was a little worried, the strongest guards of the Holy See were all near the city of Rome and the Seven Mountains, but according to Ruby, the Inquisition was built behind Palatine Hill, and if something really happened, the support of the Holy See would definitely not arrive so quickly.

"Well, let's go to the Inquisition first, and you'll know how ridiculous your worries are when you've seen the guards there," Ruby laughed.

The two of them kept approaching the Inquisition, the city of Rome built on the Palatine Hill, with the Holy See of Light on the sun and the Inquisition on the shade. The overall pure white architectural style looks grandiose, but this building built in San'in still looks a little gloomy and depressing.

In the main hall in the center of the Inquisition, an old man over half a hundred years old, dressed in a red shawl and a half-red round hat, knelt in front of a huge statue of the god and prayed devoutly, with a belt of eight knots washed around his waist. In the Holy See, the dress code is very strict, such a dress is the standard for cardinal archbishops, and the identity of this old man kneeling in front of the statue is also about to come out, that is Don Pedro, the current director of the Inquisition!

The setting sun stretched a slender shadow, and a thin-looking young man stood outside the main hall quietly waiting for the archbishop to end his daily prayers. When the setting sun was completely hidden by the mountains, the cardinal archbishop got up and walked out of the temple.

"I've seen the referee"

"What's the matter, Bills," Pedro said slowly, but sounding very deep.

"Recently, there has been a lot of movement on the Dark Soil, and many people from the Dark Earth have begun to infiltrate the interior of the Roman Empire, and the Knights Templar have already sent a lot of knights, so do we have a few people sent out from the Inquisition?" asked Bills.

"No need, there are only twelve people in the Inquisition, and there are only sixteen of you children, His Highness the Son is being baptized in the Holy Spring, and our greatest task is to protect the Holy Spring," Pedro said.

"Lord Referee, but King Arthur sent news just now, saying that Lessenlu Dracula and Bruchcaine had personally appeared outside the city of Rome, and King Arthur had gone to arrest him."

"Lesenlu Dracula and Bruchcaine?" Pedro's eyes looked into the distance, "Among the five dark families, Dracula's strength is second only to Bruchkata, and Bruchcaine is the younger brother of Cartai, these two are strong, Arthur is not necessarily an opponent"

"According to you, Chief Judge, did King Arthur send a letter to ask for help?"

"That arrogant guy won't even call for help, let alone for help," Pedro knew Arthur very well.

"What should we do then, Chief Referee..."

"Beals, do you remember how you got to the Tribunal?" asked Pedro about something else.

"Of course I know, my family was originally a dilapidated aristocracy, and because I performed well in the City of Seven Hills, I was recommended by Mr. Toulouse of the Inquisition to enter the Inquisition. "Beers doesn't know why Pedro said that.

"All the harsh conditions for entering the referee, life experience, faith and strength are indispensable. I've looked into your family, and I don't know if you can help me out," Pedro asked, looking down.

"The referee, please speak," Beers bowed his head, not daring to look directly at Pedro.

"Look me in the eye and tell me that your family was attacked while passing through the Dark Soil Border, and only a few people came back alive, tell me why you want to stay in the Inquisition"

Beals's heart was beating so fast that no one could disguise it in front of this seriousness. Pedro's terrifying strength can rank among the top three in the Holy See, and he is known as the supreme guard of the Holy See along with the Holy War Angel Michael and King Arthur, presumably those two Pedro are the most feared, because the serious and stiff face in front of him once executed a tenth-level supernatural and martial saint!

"Judge Chief, secretly kill my family members, Bills's lifelong wish is revenge!"

Pedro looked at the indignant Bills and didn't know what he was thinking, with talent, Bills's awakening ability is very rare, in terms of faith, Pedro even personally asked Raphael in the Fargutal Mountains, and Bills passed the test of faith perfectly.

"Child, the light will dispel the darkness in your heart, and those who sow hatred will eventually be punished by God, let go of your arms," Pedro said.

"Obey the Teachings of the Judges"

"If you do well after the Holy War, you can officially join the Inquisition, and the Inquisition also needs young blood with good talent like you."

"Thank you, referee!" Bills hurriedly thanked with excitement on his face.

Pedro finished speaking and walked off into the distance.

"You're going..."

"Bills, gather all the members of the Inquisition near the Holy Spring, protect the safety of His Highness the Holy Son, and I will go see King Arthur"

There are twelve official members of the Inquisition, and these twelve are all powerful hermits, except for Domas who was sent to the North Court to find Kandy, he no longer has any force, but it does not have much impact on the strength of the Inquisition. In addition to these twelve, there were four probationary members of the Inquisition, and it was very difficult to enter the Inquisition, except for the noble family and the sponsorship of the great nobles, he could only show extraordinary talents from the trials of the City of Seven Hills, and it was in that trials that he met his teacher Toulouse and led him to the light. Toulouse and Thomas are now the two most senior members of the Inquisition, and under Toulouse's tutelage, he has become one of the very few people who can pass the four trials.

At present, he is still only a probationary member of the Inquisition, and he can only be accepted if he makes an extraordinary performance, maybe he will not be a full member of the Inquisition before the age of forty, looking at Pedro's distant back, a fire dances in Beers' eyes, Pedro gave him an opportunity that he once craved so much that he couldn't even refuse, but...

Bills, who was supposed to be ecstatic, was now in a very nervous and hesitant mood, kneeling down in front of the idol of the god, clasping his hands together and praying sincerely....

"Bright.... Dark.... Where the hell is the road!"

Bills, kneeling in front of the idol, kept thinking about his childhood, and it seemed that all the memories began when he met his teacher, the chubby teacher Toulouse who wore a smile every day.

"Bills, you're still praying so late, is there something on your mind?" a fat old man walked in with a gentle face.

"Teacher.. I.." Beers' words flickered.

"Today, the referee said that if I do well in the Holy War, I can officially join the Inquisition."

"That's good news," he said, "Toulouse, who is very satisfied with his student, is humble and kind, and is very talented.

"But there are still some things that students don't understand and want to ask the teacher what faith really is."

Toulouse thought for a moment, "This question is actually very difficult to explain, and many people who have believed in gods all their lives don't know why they want to believe."

"Can you tell me what you think?"

"It is recorded in the Bible that God is actually a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he will be afraid and afraid, but why should he believe in God? I think that life is full of temptations and sins, and it is only one step to be lost, and God has set some rules and commandments for our followers to follow, and our faith is actually to obey. Faith is a shackle, the shackles we put on ourselves, faith is to follow the good in our hearts. ”

"Is faith good or bad, and how to distinguish it"

"Teaching people to be good is good, and leading people to learn evil is bad"

Toulouse began to pray for belso, Beers's eyes were confused, and the confusion in his heart still seemed to be unresolved, but he had already made another decision, since he could not make a choice, so let's do as originally planned. Bills's eyes watched the middle of the Inquisition walk step by step, where the strong of the Inquisition gathered, and where Kandy was baptized by God!
