If the other clergy in the church were surprised and frightened by the Chaldean bishop's admission that he had presided over the beheading of a nobleman, then the Chaldean admission that he had allowed another faith to enter the land of light directly caused anger and contempt among the other clergy.

At the moment when Chaldean's voice fell, a dying old monk raised his finger and angrily scolded:

"Traitor! Heterodox! Your heart is no longer pure! Chaldeans, you have betrayed the Great Light! ”

The anger of the old priest immediately triggered accusations from other priests against the Chaldeans, and several paladins even raised their weapons, apparently this behavior of the Chaldean bishop has touched the last bottom line of a faith organization.

The belief in the Holy Light of human civilization emerged 2,800 years ago, at the same time as the first human city-state founded by Emperor Soladin the Great, and it originated during the time when humans united with the High Elves to fight against the forest trolls, when the first priests of mankind sensed a gentle energy in their sleep, which appeared in the minds of priests in mysterious geometric patterns and the posture of winged angels in mythology.

After several generations, the first priests of the Light appeared.

According to the view of the great prophet of the Draenei Viren, it should be that group of ancestors who accidentally came into contact with Naru's extended thinking in the stars during meditation, and opened the holy light cleansing of human civilization, in short, although in the 2800 years of inheritance, human civilization has also appeared short-lived other beliefs, but the holy light has always firmly occupied the posture of faith in human civilization.

In the recent decades of historical changes, there are also dwarves and high elves who have converted to the Holy Light, but human beings, human civilization has always been the mainstream of the Holy Light faith, and after the empire moved westward, this sincere belief in the hearts of human beings has also been brought into the continent of Kalimdor.

But there has never been a precedent in the history of mankind for the Archbishop of Chaldea to take the initiative to distribute the land of light to other faiths! Although the Druidic faith is also one of the "orthodox" beliefs in Azeroth's major belief systems, faith can always make people blind, especially for those who live by faith, and the behavior of the Chaldeans can undoubtedly be described as "luring the wolf into the house".

This accusation made Chaldean's expression change for a moment, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end, instead of arguing with his angry compatriots, he stood quietly in front of the Pope with his hands tied, and let the angry rebuke and contemptuous taunts fall on him, like a statue, deaf to everything in the outside world.

This disdain to argue with them made the other pastors even angrier, and not just out of anger at the Chaldean betrayal, of course.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and once there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be disputes, although the priests claim to dedicate everything they have to the great Light, but the faith itself is also a system that is free from the state, and once this system is formed, there will naturally be a division of power, and the Holy See of the Holy Light has its own church organization in each subject country of the human empire, and each country has an archbishop.

Therefore, even in the heyday of the human empire, in addition to the Pope and the cardinal privy council, there are only 6 cardinal archbishops at the top of the Holy See, which is above millions of believers, in a sense, the status of a cardinal archbishop is more noble than the vast majority of nobles in the kingdom.

And the Chaldeans... A junior in his 30s actually occupies the position of a cardinal archbishop in a grand manner, how can this convince those seniors who have worked hard all their lives in the Holy See but are only a small bishop?

In fact, when humanity was still occupying the eastern continent, there was a lot of confusion within the Church about the Chaldeans. Morgan's discussion has never stopped, and many people believe that the Chaldeans. Morgan's position as Archbishop was "stolen" from the "martyred" Archbishop Benedictas, so the position of the Chaldean Archbishop himself in the Church of the Holy Light is actually very embarrassing.

The number of colleagues who want to remove him from the position of archbishop is almost innumerable, and any of his stains will be magnified indefinitely, but fortunately, the Chaldean archbishop is very gentle and very strict with the rules of the church, and his private reputation is almost impeccable. The Chaldean Archbishop is in trouble.

"That's it! Be quiet! ”

But the other priests in the church did not have an effect on the Chaldeans' rebuke and accountability, but made the old Pope very dissatisfied, people are old, always like quiet, this can not be avoided, the slightly angry Pope put the cane in his hand on the ground, the deep voice echoed in the church, so that those vicious curses dissipated at this moment.

"Privy Counsellors and below, get out!"

The cardinal privy councillor who stood beside the Pope, a sincere priest who had participated in countless wars, and who was also a good paladin, stepped forward and said in a majestic voice:

"Knights of the Cathar, close the church! Until His Majesty's interrogation is over, no one is allowed to come near here! ”

Seeing that the Pope's anger was overflowing, the priests who were still angry just now immediately obediently left the church hall, leaving only a few high-ranking archbishops and privy bishops who were qualified to attend, as well as a few recorders.

When the whole hall had finally fallen silent, Fao sighed, looked at the silent Chaldea in front of him, and whispered:

"The world says that you and your position are not worthy of your name, Chaldeans. Morgan, but only we know how much you have done for the Stormwind Kingdom, the tragedy of Benedictas is really painful, and every time I am after nightfall, I will recall the years I spent with that poor disciple, I think... The reason why you made this decision is probably related to him, right? ”

"Yes, His Majesty."

Chaldeans bowed his head and whispered:

"Although Benedictas has long since left the Stormwind Kingdom, the poison he left in the Kingdom has passed for so many years, but it has not been completely eliminated, and those cultists who believe in the ancient gods are flooding the entire border area of the Stormwind Kingdom, and they are dragging our people into hell little by little on the land where the Holy Light cannot shine."

As he spoke, the Chaldean Archbishop turned his head to look at a silent female archbishop beside him, and he asked softly:

"Lady Partris, is the situation in the Kingdom of Stormgard stable? Have the cultists hidden in the dust swamp been cleaned up? ”

"And Archbishop Johannes, are the believers in Gilneth as pure as they used to be?"

"Privy Bishop Constantine, I heard that a few months ago another heretical rebellion broke out in the Stosun Valley in Kurtiras?"

The few bishops who were questioned by Chaldea were silent, obviously, what Chaldea said was right, the Holy Light Church seems to be prosperous, but as an ancient organization that has existed for 2,800 years, its internal system has been seriously corrupted, and in the face of the sudden rebellion of cultists over the years, the entire bloated Holy Light Church has been extremely slow to react.

"As more dark secrets of the Elder Gods are unearthed, ladies and gentlemen."

The Chaldean Archbishop subconsciously stroked the purple ceremonial dagger on his waist, and he whispered:

"Not only our soldiers and kings, but we ourselves are facing a challenge, the faith from darkness is trying to divide and tear us apart, in this case, relying on ourselves alone, is not at all the opponent of the evil that comes from the noise, after all... This world is big beyond the world of Light..."

"The belief in the druids and the moon gods of the elves, the shamanic beliefs of the orcs and dwarves, and even the technological beliefs of the gnomes, these are all "true beliefs" that we have identified after a long period of discussion, and since they are both true beliefs, why can't we stand together in the face of the dark forces that engulf everything? Can relying on foolish views alone help us win this war? ”

The Chaldeans' voice became sharp, he looked at the Pope, and he took a deep breath:

"Of course, Your Majesty, there's another reason why I've allowed the Blightcast druids to enter the four southern counties of the Stormwind Kingdom... The land of the Kalimdor Continent of the Human Empire is too barren, and our people have worked several times harder to harvest less food than before, and this barren land has seriously affected the recovery of the Human Empire. ”

"And the Blightcaster Druids have the secret art of the fertile earth in their hands, and I have seen them grow an oasis of joy with a few roots in the barren Silissus Desert, and they have mastered the abilities that our people desperately need, but is it our faith that matters? Or is it more important that our believers can live a better life as a result of our actions? ”

Chaldea spread out his hands and said to the other bishops sincerely:

"I can assure you! The activities of the Blightcaller in the Stormwind Kingdom are closely monitored by the Church, and the problem is that we have always tried to spread the great Light faith to the civilizations of other races, but our repeated failures have proved that our methods of mission are flawed, and now, the successful mission of the Blightcaller Cult among the boar and minotaur groups has given us new revelations. ”

"We should not apply the teachings of the Light that are suitable for humanity to other races..."

A confident smile flashed across the face of the Chaldean archbishop, and he leaned down to the Pope and said in a deep voice:

"As far as I know, His Majesty the Pope, in the ancient traditional culture of the Minotaurs, they have a clan that believes in the sun god Anshe, called the Sun Walkers, and they claim that the divine power they use comes from the gift of the sun god, but based on my field research, I can tell you for sure that the power used by those minotaurs is the same divine power as the Holy Light!"

"The Cult of the Blightburners is trying to preach this powerful group of Sunwalker Minotaurs through a special sun demigod Rokma, and I have made a deal with the High Patriarch of the Blightcaller... We too can get involved and recruit the Minotaurs who use the Light into our Church! ”

"Fellow travellers, our Church of the Light has already appeared High Elf Paladin, so why can't there be a Minotaur Sunwalker? Why can't orcs appear as Holy Light Warriors? Why can't there be a Boar Man Paladin? Why can't Night Elf Walkers appear? ”

Under the astonished gaze of all the archbishops, Chaldea once again spread his hands, and he cried out in a generous voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Look at us, we are walkers born out of ancient beliefs, but we are facing a new form of the world, and we must adapt to it... That's right! In your eyes, I may indeed be deviant, I have done something wrong, but I plead with you! ”

"Brothers! Give me some time! Give the Stormwind Kingdom Church some time! ”

Chaldea clenched his fists and said in a pleading tone:

"I'll prove to you eventually... The faith of the Light will not stop at our land, and I will finally prove to you that great life will also shine in the dark hearts of those of the alien race! ”

"Please give us some time! The faith we hold on to will not fail in the face of other faiths, please give our faith some time! Give the Light some faith! We'll do it! ”

There was silence throughout the church hall, and at last it was the Archbishop of Stormgard, Lady Partris, who, turning the rosary in her hand, whispered:

"That's a crazy idea... But His Majesty Garin has asked me several times to open several small parishes in the Dust Swamp to the Blightcaster Druids, and my King wants to use the Druids' transformation of nature to make his country stronger... So, I will support you, Chaldeans, if your reform is successful, then this experience can be generalized to other dioceses ... I don't have to bear such a heavy pressure anymore. ”

The second speaker was Privy Counsellor of Constantine from Kurtiras, a balding middle-aged man who whispered:

"The Drusva Mountains of Kurtilas are already a parish of the Blightless, and other regions are also facing the possibility of being eroded by the Druid faith, in fact, His Majesty Drake has suggested several times that we start a conversation with the Blightburner to solve the problem of the twin faith of Kultilas..."

Archbishop Johannes of Gilneth said nothing, but his silence itself was an expression of opinion, and after a few minutes of reflection, the old Pope sighed, and the old priest, who had served the Holy Light all his life, said in a somber voice:

"Lothar discussed this with me many times during her lifetime... He also wanted to reform the Church of Light and make it a reliable defender of the people, but I thought so much about it that I failed Lothar and I failed to do what I promised him..."

"Now... Let me make up for it. ”

"Chaldeans. Archbishop Morgan, in the name of the Holy Light Pope, I give you 3 years... Until I am called by the Light, I want to see the new order you have promised... If you succeed, then it means that the reform of the Church of Light will be in full swing, and whoever my successor is, must complete it! ”

"The Light shelters human civilization... The Holy Light will surely shelter the whole world! ”

"So be it..."
