"Is this your personal opinion? Or is it the official opinion of the Templar Order? ”

Hearing Jenn's question, Priest Doan instinctively wanted to answer, but the next moment, he suddenly shuddered violently, and then immediately stopped. Immediately afterwards, he saw that the priest of Do'an was like a rooster choked by the throat, and he could no longer say a word. Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience looked at the priest Duoan with curiosity and surprise, and they didn't understand why this dead fat man suddenly became dumb. And only the priest himself understood what a hole this young man had dug for himself.

Is magic evil?

This was not controversial at the beginning, and the mage's spells were all from the demons, which was naturally evil. However, after the previous wars of religion, the Templar Order has come to an agreement with the mages and removed the rhetoric and doctrine that the use of magic is evil. On this basis, the Templar Order banned all discussion in this area.

This is like those politicians on the earth, maybe they hate a certain race from the bottom of their hearts, or even want them to disappear from the earth completely, and may even use harsh conditions such as "inaccurate credit history", "no nationality", "non-compliant" and so on to deny them entry into their own company or an organization. But in any case, in front of the camera, in front of the public, they must be righteous and solemn, and say with a serious expression: "We will never tolerate any racial discrimination, and we will not allow such a thing to happen in our free land!" ”

Not to mention, the mage was able to get to his current position not by relying on those boring non-violent non-cooperative movements. Nor did it rely on any kind of demonstrations and take the opportunity to smash and loot. Rather, through real fighting and killing, by sacrificing tens of millions. Hundreds of millions of human lives in exchange!! They destroyed city after city and defeated one god after another. In the end, even the entire main plane was on the verge of falling apart in this war. And it was under such threats that the mages gained the respect and awe that they did not have in the first place.

Sometimes, war doesn't solve everything, but it solves problems after all. Because of this, if the mages heard that a certain bishop dared to make such an announcement in public, one can imagine what their anger would be, and at that time, if nothing else, the priest of Doan would definitely be unlucky.

And for now. This is the situation that the priest of Doan is facing. Although deep down, he did think so. But in public, the priest of Doan must not say this, because if he said so, it would be "politically incorrect", and the result would be that his position as the chief priest would definitely be removed, not only that, but even more serious. It is even possible that he will be sent to the Inquisition to "repent"!

Thinking of this, the priest of Doan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect things to develop to this point. What's going on here? Shouldn't he be here to judge old Peter? How does it now seem as if it were himself being judged? Could it be said. He's going to give up his claim, but that's ......... Isn't his arrest of Old Peter a joke? If that's the case. Then from now on, I am in Violet City. What other status is there?

Looking at Jenn smiling in front of him, Priest Doan only felt extremely aggrieved. At this moment, he had no choice but to secretly glance at Mason not far behind him. Receiving the eyes of the priest of Doran, Mason also immediately drew his weapon, and then pointed at Jenn, and roared loudly.

"Bold, you dare to talk to the Lord Priest like this, I think you are simply .................."

"Whew!!"

Before Mason could finish speaking, suddenly a sword light flashed, and the next moment, his right hand holding the long sword fell to the ground with a "snap". Blood spurted out, staining the white altar with large patches of blood. Mason, on the other hand, stared blankly at his severed right hand, as if he didn't understand what was going on for a moment. It wasn't until a moment later that he fell to the ground screaming, holding his arms and screaming.

"Ahh!!h

Intense pain came, and the irritated Mason kept rolling on the ground, blood spraying out of his wrists, spreading across the altar with Mason's movements. And almost everyone in front of them was stunned by this scene, their eyes widened in surprise, and they couldn't believe the scene in front of them. I don't know what to do -- who is this young man? He actually dared to do it on the altar of the Harvest Temple, is this young man crazy?!!

However, the priest was even more shocked than the others, and he stared blankly at the long sword placed in front of his neck in front of him, and the blood stains on it were still clearly visible. But it wasn't the sword that was the Priest of Doan's attention, but Jenn's right hand gripping the hilt, and on the index finger of his right hand, a silver ring reflected the soft light of the sun. And the pattern on that ring, Priest Doan is all too familiar.

"Teach, teach, diocesan bishop..............."

Speaking of this, the priest of Doan almost weakened his knees, and fell to his knees in front of Jenn, his face extremely pale. He is also one of the bishops of the Eagle Plateau, and naturally knows about the change of bishops in the diocese. It's just that Jenn hasn't bothered to care about the Templar Order's, so he basically doesn't show up except for the money. Because of this, most bishops, like Priest Doan, are not very clear about what is going on with Jenn himself. It was only known that the diocesan bishop above them had been replaced by a young ordination nobleman, and of course, these Templar orders were naturally issued through documents and orders. It's just that because Jenn has never had a sense of presence in front of everyone, all parish affairs are still passed on through Archbishop Howard as before. So it didn't take long for a local bishop like Doran to forget about the fact that his immediate boss had been replaced. And now, when he saw the ring on Jenn's finger, Priest Doran was immediately blindfolded.

He dared to speak out in front of the bishop of the diocese, this is crazy!!

The so-called diocesan bishop. It is the supreme leader of a diocese in the Templar Order, and such a person is not something that anyone can do. You must know that the Templar Order is made up of nine saints. Therefore, in a parish, there are often temples and believers of various gods. The diocesan bishop is responsible for ensuring that these people do not cause a commotion. There will be no confusion. This is not an easy task, but in fact the diocesan bishops are usually elected from among the most respected archbishops. For only these archbishops, who come directly from the Central Council, have enough majesty to deter the believers below. Howard was in this position before, so he was able to serve as the diocesan bishop of Eagle Plateau.

The bishop of the diocese has nothing special to do on weekdays, but at most he deals with the affairs reported by the temples in the districts -- of course, these matters do not need to be cared about by them, because the temples will certainly seek instructions from the higher temples of their own gods, so these reports are at best a backup report for the diocese bishop. Then the next step is to deal with the annual donations. And as a diocesan bishop. In addition to withholding a portion of the offerings, they also keep a faithful record of the amount of the annual offerings to the various temples, and in this respect, the position of the diocesan bishop is somewhat similar to that of a third-party neutral censorship. If there is a conflict between some temples, then they need to provide more objective information and proof as evidence, and at the same time adjudicate.

In this way, the diocesan bishop is actually more like the "Ecclesiastical Council" of the Templar Order, which has no presence at all, and is even so transparent that it is not noticeable at all. But once you encounter any disputes below. Or if any proof is needed, it must be resolved through him, unless the diocesan bishop cannot solve the problem, and then it will be reported to the Episcopal Conference.

And other than that. The diocesan bishop also holds a power that is terrifying to all local bishops -- the power of recall. The right of recall itself is explained very simply, when the bishop of the diocese discovers the members of the Templar of his diocese, regardless of the god he believes in. As long as he behaves contrary to the laws of the Templar Order, the diocesan bishop has sufficient power to remove him from his status as a believer. It doesn't matter how high or low the other party is, it's the same.

And because of that. The priest of Doan would be so frightened, he didn't expect that the rumored bishop of the diocese, whom he had never seen before, would actually appear in Violet City at this time!!

"Alright, now you can answer my question, Priest Doan."

Jenn raised his sword and patted the greasy fat face of the priest of Doan. He wiped the blood on the sword on the other party's face, and then he spoke in a timely manner.

"What you said before did you speak for you personally? Or does it represent the Temple of Harvest? Or maybe it's the Templar Order? ”

"Yes, on my own ..............."

In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Priest Doan replied with a helpless sad face. The other party revealed his identity as the bishop of the diocese, even if he borrowed eight more dares for himself, he would not dare to talk nonsense with empty teeth and white teeth. Therefore, he could only bow his head helplessly, and helplessly put down the black pot he gave himself.

"Very well, as a believer, you should understand that what you have done has violated the precepts of the Templar Order. Now I will strip you of your status as the chief priest of the Harvest Temple, hand over your bishop's ring immediately, and then go to the little dark house to stay obediently. You know how the program works, and I don't want to waste my saliva saying more. ”

"Yes, my lord........."

After hearing the words "hand over your bishop's ring" from Jenn's mouth, the priest of Doan suddenly lowered his head helplessly like a deflated ball. Then he stood up, hunched over and stretched out his hand, intending to take off the ring he was wearing. But before he could make a move, Jenn stopped him from moving with a flick of his sword.

"Oh, by the way, everything has to have a beginning and an end. Since this judgment was caused by you, it is up to you to draw the end, and now it is time for you to make the final judgment. ”

"Yes, yes......... My lord. ”

After listening to Jenn's words in a trembling voice, the priest of Doran nodded, and then he looked at the old man who was standing next to him, who had not reacted to what had happened until now, bowed his head deeply, and said with great difficulty.

"I'm sorry, Peter. Mr. Dutan, it turns out that all the charges against you are trumped-up and fabricated......... Now, you are acquitted. ”

Saying this, the priest of Doan completely lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

It's all over. (To be continued.) )
