"It's you!" After learning the name of the middle-aged man in front of him, Sun Lin exclaimed in surprise, and in his mind, when he had previously learned about the structure of the Holy Light Sect of the Holy Light Great Empire, a figure and information that had been ignored that he valued gradually appeared in Sun Lin's mind.

As a great empire of divine light founded on a theocracy, his greatest reputation within the eyes of outsiders is the religion that this country believes in, the Holy Light Religion.

This religion, which emerged from the formation of the human alliance 10,000 years ago, has now become the religion of all human beings in the middle of the Middle Continent, even the Griffin Empire, which is a mortal enemy of the Great Empire of Divine Light, and its country, including the rulers of this country, also admit that the religion they believe in is the Holy Light Religion.

It is precisely because of the far-reaching influence of the Holy Light Cult that the Holy Light Cult, which has gone through more than a hundred centuries, has also evolved its own system of rights within the religion over the course of time. Among them, the first chair of the Holy Light Cult is the Pope, followed by the two major bishops, who are in charge of the command of the members of the Holy See in the two regions of the Griffin Empire and the Holy Light Empire, and then the 12 white bishops in addition to the internal affairs of the Holy Light Sect, and the 36 regional bishops who lead the priests of the Holy Light Sect to spread their faith outside (there are now 9 in the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, but it is obvious that the spread of Christianity in the Great Empire is too aggressive, although Sun Lin has slightly rectified the canon several times, And focus on the 12 bishops of the empire and missionaries in various regions, but it is obviously not effective, which can be seen from the fact that the Holy Light Cult is almost unable to preach in the area of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, and by the way, the city of Atlantis and the land of the Thousand Islands are the only two areas of religious freedom in the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, which allows Poseidon, Shintoism, and Christianity to coexist here, but this also means that the area is very strict in guarding religious people, and the Holy Light Empire, which is a potential enemy of the Great Empire of the Sunset, Even if Sun Lin said it, the regional officials under Sun Lin would not necessarily let those Holy Light Sects enter these two regions), and the lowest level was the so-called Holy Light Sect priests. Although in the eyes of the lowly people, they are still divided into apprenticeships and other ranks, but in the eyes of the big people, as long as they are priests, they are the low-level personnel of the Holy Light Sect.

However, this is only the most basic understanding of the Holy Light Cult in the eyes of the world, in fact, there are far more classes in the Holy Light Sect than the people know, and several of them are departments that are separated from the outside of the class and second only to the Pope, such as the main force in the military strength of the Holy Light Cult - the 10 Knights of the Cathar, for example, in the control of the middle-aged man named Baidran in front of him, and can even directly punish the Holy Light Pope's religious tribunal when necessary.

"When did the people of the Inquisition also get involved in the papal election?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Sun Lin was a little frightened in his heart, in addition to the fact that the head of the Holy Light Sect's religious inquisition, Bai Deran, would actually appear here, the main reason was that Sun Lin couldn't believe that the Holy Light Inquisition, the most neutral organization in the Holy Light Sect, would actually join this papal race.

"Doesn't this continent exist for the people to pursue power? Badran smiled and said: "Your Excellency the Great Conqueror, can you answer me a question before answering your question, I want to know that at the beginning, I was young and vigorous and instinctive to become a bishop, and even now I am very likely to become an archbishop, but at the moment when I was about to become a bishop, I gave up the glory and wealth that the bishop should enjoy, and chose to become the chief judge of the religious inquisition that is the most rigorous in the Holy Light Sect, and I can't even marry a wife and take a concubine, do you think I was crazy at that time?" ”

“……… Probably not, but if I were you, I would probably choose this path too. Sun Lin pondered for a while and suddenly thought of something, then raised his head and said in a low voice to Badrán: "Because I have chosen this path, even if I am the adjudicator in the entire Holy Light Sect, I can rule against all those who do not obey me, especially in this religious organization that has become corrupted and reduced to secular words, as long as you can seize the handle of the other party, even the newly appointed Pope will not be able to escape the punishment of the religious ruling, am I right, Your Excellency Baderan?" And I also want to say that it seems that I have found the answer I was looking for when answering your answer as well. ”

"Haha, it is pleasant to discuss with wise people, Your Excellency the Great Conqueror. That's right, in fact, the high priests who only know the immediate interests (the existence of the bishop or bishop in the basic hierarchy of the clergy, even though the dividing line between the two is a chasm) do not know where the real power of the Dao lies, and their pedantic thinking tends to make them only know how to climb to the bishop, and they do not know how miserable it is when they fall down after climbing to the top. As he spoke, the look on Padran gradually calmed down, and his face became very serious: "Then let's spread it out, Your Excellency the Great Conqueror, you should be able to guess that at this time I have the handle of any Bishop of the Holy Light Sect in my hands, including the two archbishops who are running for the Pope this time, and I think you should also know that one archbishop will definitely die in this battle, and the other archbishop will also be killed by the other party in my hands when he succeeds to the throne. Since the two bishops have died, and the archbishop cannot be entrusted to other bishops so quickly, the papal candidates will choose the rest of the people in the Holy Light Church who are second only to the pope in power to elect, including me and the Holy See's military chief: Badback. In fact, I'm better prepared than Budbuck in every way, but the only thing I'm missing right now is a backing from the outside of the mighty Empire of Divine Light, which Badbuck does, because he was originally a court knight instructor in the Griffin Empire. ”

"So you want me to back it up?"

"It's not just backing." Badelan shook his head and said, "The King Continent is generally military-oriented, and Badback has a private army but I don't have it, so I want to .........."

"Understood." Sun Lin said with a smile, and showed a hint of cunning: "Although I can't provide troops like you, I can let you hire the soldiers you want in our mercenary guild of the Great Empire, and we will be responsible for the equipment, but .......... I want to know what good it is for us to do this?" ”

"It's ............ What about the Anubian Islands? Badran thought for a moment, and finally said through gritted teeth.
