Chapter 499: The Decision of the Holy See of Light
In the Middle Ages on Earth, there was countless bloodshed because of religious beliefs, the struggle between kingship and theocracy almost never stopped, and the famous Crusades lasted for two hundred years, killing and wounding millions, but fanatical believers still joined in because they thought they were doing the right thing.
This is the power of religion.
However, unlike the medieval religions that people on earth are familiar with, the religion of Plandar has very clear rules, especially the Holy See of Light, which is widely worshipped by humans.
The royal power belongs to the royal power, and the divine power belongs to the divine right, and the two do not interfere with each other.
The reason for such a clear division of authority is that the gods of Plandar really exist, and there are real and credible records of miracles, altars, oracles, and even divine descents, etc., and under the fear and worship of the gods, the divine power and the royal power can be separated from each other without interfering with each other.
In this case, the Knights Templar of the Holy See of Light, as an extremely combat-ready force, had already established its existence from the very beginning.
It is forbidden to interfere in national politics and to get involved in national wars.
They can only be mobilized when cultists (especially cults that believe in false gods and have clear dangers) or when dark forces that pose a great threat to all lives.
Just like the last time he went to the underworld to find the artifact Yabirni's blessed tome, he and the saint Eluli had to disguise their identities and not act in the name of the Templars.
It is worth mentioning that the so-called dark power does not refer to the dark magic, but refers to those uncontrollable forces that will corrode the human mind and induce human beings to fall, and the aura of chaos is the most typical one.
The reason why it is called a dark force is only because human beings are accustomed to associating darkness with negative emotions such as insecurity, danger, and fear, which is convenient to call, as for the dark god system behind the blame...... Who cares?
Returning to the point, Adrien is now quite certain that Girard is under the control of the dark forces, so it is entirely feasible to ask the Holy See for help.
After deciding on the plan, the two immediately left the secret room, walked around the small alley wearing hoods, blended into the crowd on the street, and quietly came to the Cathedral of Light.
Girard's coronation had no effect on the Cathedral of Light, and the faithful still flocked to pray and receive blessings.
After quietly showing their identity to the priest, Aubury and Adrien soon met with Jesolini XXIII.
The two of them saluted briefly: "Hats off, Your Majesty." ”
"The god of light protects you, Duke of Verayre, Duke of Bolaite."
Jesolini returned the salute with a smile on his face, and at this moment he almost guessed the meaning of the two of them: "Sit down first." ”
After sitting down, Obury, who was more anxious, couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, I think you should have also seen what was announced in the Datang Daily, right?" A penny for your thoughts? ”
Really.
Jesolini restrained his smile: "I am the leader of the Holy See of Light, and it stands to reason that I should not criticize such a thing as the change of kingship, but ...... Are you really sure that Prince Girard has been corrupted by the dark forces? On Coronation Day, there was nothing wrong with him in the Light. ”
Obery knocked on the table and said impatiently, "Maybe it's because I've endured it?" Maybe it's a temporary suppression? You may not know that His Royal Highness the Prince was already a supreme-level ninth-order powerhouse a year ago, and he was only one step away from the legendary level, and enduring the purification of the holy light was nothing to him. ”
"But are you sure?"
Jesolini's expression was very serious: "You know, if the Holy See is allowed to get involved in the struggle for royal power just because of an uncertain possibility, it will have an extremely bad impact, and once this precedent is opened, it may lead to the royal power being suppressed by the divine power in the future, which is obviously not what the gods want to see." ”
As soon as Aubery wanted to speak, Adrien interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Aubery, don't get excited, His Majesty the Pope must have sensed something, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to us, would he?" ”
Jesolini was stunned for a moment, and nodded helplessly: "That's right, I know that the royal family members are wearing magic props, which will record the scene of death, and the identity of the murderer can be directly determined, but the premise is that another direct member of the royal family must be found." ”
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "Princess Aurelia!" ”
"That's right, now that Princess Aurelia is in Ellington, everything will be clear when you see her."
Jesolini said slowly: "If it is really certain that Girard has been corrupted by the darkness, then the Holy See can rightfully participate. But now that Ellington has declared independence, it will be very troublesome for our men to travel to Ellington. What's more, it takes time to get from Alinks to Ellington, even if it is assisted by magic throughout the process, it will take at least a few days to arrive, which is very delayed. ”
Ilully and Leon did not tell Jesolini about the teleportation array.
"I would also like to support Ellington, after all, Lord Don is a man who is recognized by the gods, and he cannot be evil. If I can, I'll send someone out now, and I'll need your patience for a few days. ”
How could Jebirny's Blessed Tome and the Scepter of Light confess their Lords to Leon and Eluri despite their identities?
Aubury and Adrien looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
They didn't expect the Pope to be so optimistic about Donne!
In this way, a lot of things will be much easier!
Obury smirked and said, "It won't take a few days, in fact we can-"
"It won't take long for us to get to Ellington today!"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside, and Ilully walked into the room.
"Her Majesty."
Jesolini was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”
Ilully closed the door and said, "Lord...... Don has set up a teleportation array in Alinks, which can lead directly to Ellington. ”
Under the long sleeves, she clenched her fists tightly, and in the days when she was separated from Don, the effect of the enslavement contract left by the goddess of eternal darkness became stronger and stronger, making her miss Donn all the time every day, and even in her dreams, she was almost tormented by this feeling and went crazy, so much so that she once wanted to sneak to Ellington to find Donn.
As a result, the coronation of Girard took place at this time.
As soon as I passed by here, as soon as I heard them talk about Don, I couldn't help but break in.
"Teleportation array?"
Jesolini took a breath of cold air and said with a shocked expression, "Isn't the technology of the teleportation array lost?" When I discussed it with Lord Jean before, even Lord Jean hadn't been able to restore the teleportation array technology, and Don He-"
Ilully said with a little pride: "This only shows one thing, Don is a more powerful magician than the legendary hero Jean. ”
"How is this possible......"
Even Jesolini couldn't believe it, unlike Angus, the hand of miracles who haunted all day long and only existed in the background, Jean, the lord of the stars and moons, was in the Silver City, in the tower of the stars and moons, leading his disciples to dig into the mysteries of magic, monitoring the flow of magic in the entire world, and devoting himself to eliminating the pollution of chaos.
He and Angus are considered to have reached the pinnacle of human magical power, and are legends that cannot be surpassed.
Don, although he is favored by the gods, this has nothing to do with his natural strength!
"In fact, Donne's strength is really unfathomable."
Aubury said very reluctantly: "Although I haven't felt that he has a field and a law entanglement so far, it is undeniable that his strength is very strong. ”
"Well, it seems that there is another super strong person in our human race, which is really gratifying."
Jesolini nodded and smiled: "If that's the case, what he says is more credible...... Your Majesty, why don't you go to Ellington on behalf of the Holy See of Light? I need your help to determine the truth about the death of His Majesty Victor, which is related to the next countermeasures of our Holy See of Light. ”
Jesolini subconsciously chose Illuri, who had dealt with Don and had a good relationship, and asked the holy woman to come forward on behalf of the Holy See of Light, which is enough to explain the attitude of the Holy See of Light.
Yiluli was suddenly excited, feeling that the golden runes on her neck were faintly starting to heat up, she quietly pulled the silk scarf around her neck, carefully covered the circle of golden runes, and said lightly, "Understood." ”
"In that case, without further ado, let's go, anyway, there is a teleportation array, you can go and come back quickly."
Angry Owbery couldn't help it for a long time, and Huo Ran got up.
The others didn't have any opinions, and after Ilully went back to the house to clean up a bit, she came out again.
Looking at Illuri, who seemed to be carefully dressed, Aubury looked weird, I had never heard of the Holy Maiden like to dress up before, and ...... What's the deal with that silk scarf around your neck?
The saint has the holy light to protect her body, is she still afraid of the cold?
However, neither Aubury nor Adrien thought about it in that direction, even if they were very optimistic about Donne, but the saint was a saint after all, and the saint whose first mission was to serve the gods, although there was no restriction on their marriage, but so far no saint had married during her tenure.
Ilully knew that it was wrong for her to be so excited, because of the power of the contract, but she just couldn't control it, she couldn't help it.
What made her most helpless was that she secretly prayed to Yebilni, the god of light, when no one was there a while ago, and asked the gods to help break the contract, and the result was ......
But Yebirni, the god of light, did not respond, and Ilully's prayer vanished silently as if swallowed up by a vortex of darkness.
Why is that?
In the blink of an eye, the trio arrived in Ellington. (To be continued.) )
