Chapter 840: The Glory of Sadmir (Part II)
The conflict between theocracy and royal power has been going on for a long time, and this kind of thing has happened many times in reality.
But in reality God doesn't exist, maybe he is, but you can't prove it.
In the world of the brave, in the magical context where there are really gods who can show miracles and even descend to the mortal world, the power of divine power has undoubtedly been expanded to the extent of completely suppressing the royal power.
In particular, there was no religion in the Sademir region before, and the common people were quickly confused by the ornate and mysterious teachings.
And when the royal power feels threatened, the final outcome is naturally war.
"At that time, the Church of the War Lady and some other churches of neutral gods were swept up in the tide of war and went to war with the most powerful kingdom of the time."
"What kingdom?"
Bishop Tolan pointed to his feet:
"It's Amen, or the original. The city of Amen. ”
He sighed, Losanda never wanted his church to interfere with the royal power, and Bishop Tolan, like the god he believed in, encouraged people not to give up hope of progress, but at that time it was really impossible to stay out of the matter, and the only thing the Dawn Church could do at that time was to be as peaceful as possible, but it was clear that since it was the 'original' city of Amen, it had already explained the end of the war.
"The followers of the War Lady stormed the royal city and dealt with the lord of the city with their own hands, and the fanatics set the whole city on fire, and the fire burned for nearly a week, marking their victory."
"And then they built what is now Amen on the ruins?"
But then the time is not right.
An Yizhi knew that the city of Amen had only been established for more than 300 years, and the story told by the bishop was already thousands of years ago.
"No, it's not that simple."
Bishop Tolan shook his head:
"The news of the victory was soon replaced by a series of events, the land around the Far Asian Gate City was deprived of life for several years, the entire windmill plain was scorched, the groundwater was depleted, the rivers were diverted, and the area of influence even reached the edge of the Manaki Forest."
"It sounds like the land is cursed."
"It's not a curse, it's a punishment."
Bishop Tolan explains:
"In this continent, the existence of the king is necessary, this is the law of this continent, and the king can only be defeated by another king, if he is killed in the name of God, the land he originally ruled will die with the dead king, there is a very appropriate word in the East...... Hmmm......"
"Luck?"
"Yes, that's the word, luck."
This style of painting feels a little wrong.,Why did the story of the magical background suddenly run out of the setting of Xianxia?
But if you think about it carefully, there are cultivators of the kind of grass that leaves the plain anyway, and there is nothing wrong with the gods who have the style of the Celestial Dynasty.
"It is precisely because of the existence of luck that a city must not be without a king, otherwise the city will die out quickly in a very short time, the area around the city of Yamen at that time is no longer suitable for habitation, a large number of refugees who have lost their homes and the tragic war have awakened the people who have been carried away, and we clergy also know the cause and effect, so for the next few hundred years, the divine power has been silently under the royal power, after all, we just want more people to understand and accept our teachings, not to unify the whole world."
"Hundreds of years later, under the power of time, the environment around the city of Amen gradually recovered, so it was decided to rebuild the city of Amen, so a young and capable person was selected from among the heirs of the lord of the city of Kanso to be the lord of the new Amen, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the original Amen City, Amen was called a place of permanent neutrality, which was about 330 years ago."
After listening to Bishop Tolan's words, An Yizhi suddenly remembered the most common leveling point for players outside Kia Gate.
Endless Dungeons.
Could it be the ruins of the former city of Amen?
Bishop Tolan explains:
"So to speak, but tracing back to the source, it was originally a testing ground built by the ancient elves, and the original Yamen City was established on top of the Endless Dungeon, and the use of the Endless Dungeon became the most famous adventurer capital in the entire continent, countless people who wanted to become stronger would come here to adventure, and over time, the original Yamen City became the most powerful city-state at that time."
It's no wonder that the age of the Endless Dungeon does not match the time of the establishment of the Amen, and An Yizhi had suspected it before, but he did not trace the source carefully...... Anyway, it's actually a relic left by the ancient elves, how dick are these guys!
"I understand the reason why you asked me to go to the city lord, but since you can find someone from Kanso City to establish the new Yamen City, can't you find another one to replace the current city lord?"
"Yes, yes, but the current city lord is still alive, as long as the people still recognize him as the city lord, the king's luck will not disappear, and no one else can take over."
This is also an important basis for Bishop Tolan to judge that the city lord was only sealed by people and not destroyed by corpses, otherwise the city of Amen would have declined in a very short period of time.
"Okay, I see."
Then again, the decline of Amen City has little to do with An Yizhi, it's a big deal to change cities, anyway, there are many more, and it's really not unacceptable to go to Cormoria to be the companion of the dwarves.
And the Dawn Church is not only in Yamen City, don't worry that Yamen City will lose the thigh of the Dawn Church after An's finger, the main thing is that the bishop has already said this, and even took out the black history of a thousand years ago, and An Yizhi had no choice but to agree.
However, he didn't have much clue yet, only that he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the church in Waukin, but he didn't have any starting point. Maybe you can go to Lin Linglin, who is doing this task, and they can find out.
In addition, An Yizhi also has a little abacus of his own.
"What's the second thing?"
"The next thing I'm going to talk about is Skeletron."
An Yizhi's right eyelid jumped, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Skeletron should be a king near the original city of Amen, and it is unknown who his true body is, but it is certain that Skeletron has some relationship with the demon."
Demons again?
"The seal we set up in the Red Iron Canyon has traces of erosion, judging from the traces, it is indeed very similar to the demon's method, and the sudden resurrection of Priestley not only looks similar to Skeletron, but the allies of the Church of Justice also feel the demonic breath on him, which shows that the demon is deliberately resurrecting these ancient kings."
Combined with the previous mention, the significance of kings on this continent is extraordinary, and there must be a conspiracy for the demons to resurrect these kings.
"I have some information about this."
Then Ann Yizhi told Bishop Tolan what he had seen and heard in the Lopwen cemetery, of course, some less glorious places need to be brought over with Spring and Autumn brushwork.
"It seems that these ancient kings were indeed resurrected by demons, and they are also related to the lord of the dark dark......"
Bishop Tolan had a headache when he heard this, and the dark lord's evil wisdom civilization multiverse must not be underestimated.
"As for the Church of the Goddess of Wealth colluding with the devil......"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, and I hope you'll be more wary of them."
"It's not that I don't trust you, Mr. An, but it's a little unbelievable."
Bishop Tolan had long been aware of the strange actions of the Goddess of Wealth, but he had never thought of colluding with the demons, at most he had imprisoned the Lord for the sole purpose of monopolizing the power of the city of Amen.
If you really have a leg with the demon, this is not a matter of Yamen City, but a major event that the entire multiverse world must face!
This is because the sphere of influence of the church in Waujin is so extensive that as long as there are people, merchants are needed to trade back and forth, and the vast majority of merchants believe in Workin, the goddess of wealth.
One can imagine how large her church's sphere of influence is.
And the church in Waujin has always maintained a good relationship with all the other churches, no matter what the church, they can talk and know each other.
After all, businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money.
Once this matter comes to light......
No, the first thing to consider is not what will happen to the Church of Wauking after it is exposed, the point is that not many people will believe it.
Even the Church of Dawn does not have that much prestige, just by Ann's words, it can be determined that the Wojin Church is colluding with the devil, there is no such a powerful organization in this world, unless the Wojin Church itself is exposed in public.
"I will inform the other allies about this as soon as possible, as for believe it or not, alas...... Do your best. ”
Bishop Tolan had no other way, and honestly, even within the Church of Dawn, would not believe Ann's words entirely.
"Can you tell me more about this?"
An Yizhi nodded, sorted out the wording, and told the clues he got from Luo Puwen and the series of things he saw and heard after accidentally falling into the abyss.
Of course, some parts still have to be artistically processed, such as the fact that he impulsively caused the Floating City to poke a hole in the dark realm, which he described as an effort to save the good dark elves from persecution by their evil people, in short......
See, that Guangweizheng is me.
- What a shame......
Speaking of which, Viconia didn't know what happened in the end, but I thought that the dark girl Illitrias would go down to protect her, and this girl herself was very smart and witty, so she should be happily wandering around the continent now.
Bishop Tolan was a very competent listener, and he must have known that there was some deviation in what Ann Yizhi said, but he did not say anything, but quietly listened to what Ann Yizhi told from beginning to end, until the Devil's Grand Duke Baier sent them back outside the city of Amen.
"Is the devil also investigating the matter of the Demon Resurrection King? It seems that there are some problems here. ”
He didn't warn Ann to be careful of the devil, but Bishop Tolan knew what kind of character Ann was with, so he didn't talk much.
"In addition, as for the investigation of the Money Church, you must also know that it is better to hide it than to provoke them too early."
An Yi pointed out that this guy's destructive power was too strong, and Bishop Tolan still couldn't resist giving an order in advance.
Because maybe An will directly tear down the temple of the Working Church on a whim......
This guy can do it!
