Chapter 119: The Temple of Distress
And when Jenn returned to the dungeon to count the money, Locks, who was far away in the stronghold, had a sad face at the moment. The Duchy of Valkyrie eventually reported the matter to the Templars, asking them to put pressure on the Temple of the God of War to hand over the killers of the two nobles. This time, the Valkyrie Principality naturally also made a bloody investment, two nobles were killed, and they were the strongest warriors in the Valkyrie Principality, this kind of thing can't be endured in any country. Not only did they demand that the Templar Order hand over the murderer, but they also demanded that the Temple of the God of War be punished.
And the God of War Temple will definitely not agree, they finally saw a little light, if it softens at this time, it will really be completely finished. Therefore, in the face of the representatives sent by the Templar Order, even Archbishop Bosson showed an unprecedented hardline attitude, claiming that he would never make friends. If Valkyrie wants to catch someone, then grab it himself!!
The uncompromising hardline attitude of both sides was also a headache for the representatives of the Templar Order, and in the Klein Continent, the secular and the temple disputes have always existed, and it is in this context that the separation of church and state gradually arises, for the Templar Order, why would they not want to rule the whole country so that the glory of God can better shine on the world? However, it is absolutely impossible for the ruling class to accept this plan, the Klein Continent is not the earth, and it can shout praises to God while killing people and selling goods without any, and the gods here are genuine. And this also means that once they believe in the gods, then what they do must be in accordance with the teachings, or they will be punished.
But how is this possible? People do need kindness. Equity and justice. However, the struggle for power and profit between countries and the struggle for power and differences between the parties is not a righteous and bright thing. Even if it's a Ming Jun. His ascension may also be indispensable to assassinations, threats and groundless rumors. And any political agreement is reached. It was the result of a compromise between the two sides. Instead of saying that I am righteous and you are evil, you must obey my orders unconditionally, or I will destroy you on behalf of the moon.
In this case, either the Templars would overthrow all the ruling classes and establish a fully sanctum dominantly religious state, or they would have to be separated from the ruling class. After all, the nobles do not necessarily need to believe, but the believers must act in accordance with the teachings of the gods.
And this is the main source of this conflict, Valkyrie is completely from the perspective of political interests, for them, if they can't punish Jenn severely. Then the trust of the Valkyrie aristocracy in them will be shaken, which in turn will affect the entire base of the ruling class. So they had to do it, and of course, it would be even better if they could completely suppress the Temple of the God of War by the way.
However, the Temple of the God of War looked at this issue entirely from a religious point of view, and in terms of the teachings of the God of War, Jenn's approach was not considered illegal. And what he did was also for a reason, although it was a bit tyrannical, but if it weren't for the Viscount and his soldiers who wanted to kill the other party, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. And the most important thing. Jenn has been favored by the god of war, which shows that the gods think he has done nothing wrong, and since the gods have said so, then we must naturally follow the will of the gods. You Valkyrie principalities are an egg. Could it be greater than the gods? If you dare to say that, then you are blasphemy!! Brothers, the copyists are ready to start a holy war!!
The two sides are tense. The church in the middle, in the middle, was in trouble. The facts are conclusive on both sides, and Jenn has killed hundreds of elite soldiers. And he also killed two nobles with his own hands, which is a sure fact, and everyone naturally can't deny it in their eyes. But after that, he was favored by the holy light of the god of war, and he was also in full view of everyone. Both the paladins and the mercenaries saw it. And there are also the proofs of Archbishop Bosson and Paladin Captain Locks, which makes the Templar Church feel quite tricky. As believers, they would never dare to deny the patronage of the Holy Light, although the Temple of the God of War was weak, but after all, they were still one of the members of the Templar Church. If they dare to deny those who are favored by the gods today, then tomorrow others can also deny those favored by their gods. On this issue, all the temples are both prosperous and lossless, and there is no need to negotiate.
But the Valkyrie Principality's request was reasonable, and they had lost so many soldiers and two nobles that it was impossible to say that there was nothing to say.
The problem now is that neither side is willing to compromise and, most importantly, the main owner of the matter has disappeared. According to Locks, Jenn had gone to explore the depths of the Shadows and would not be able to return for a while. And the Valkyrie Principality, after not finding Jenn, gritted its teeth and sent an elite force to stay at the portal. According to their thoughts, no matter where Jenn goes, if he wants to return to the surface, he must pass through the Guò portal, as long as he masters the portal, are they afraid that he will not be able to catch him?
Since the person concerned has not been there, the Templar Order finally decided not to wade into this troubled water, so after turning around and collecting information, they immediately collected their troops, while the Temple of the God of War was still carrying out its own mission in the stronghold of the dark region, and Valkyrie recovered his troops and stationed them outside the portal.
But for Locks, that's not a good thing.
Since the Valkyrie Principality and the Temple of the God of War have completely fallen out, they will naturally not give them any more assistance, on the contrary, they have begun to obstruct the Temple of the God of War openly and secretly. For example, the supplies transported to the ground by the Temple of the God of War, in the past, the Valkyrie Principality was only pretending, but now they have to "carefully check" and "from beginning to end", for fear of bringing in any dangerous goods. Each time the materials were transported, they had to be detained at various checkpoints for several days before they could be transported, and many of the materials were so tattered by the other party in the name of inspection that they were almost useless.
This made the people of the Temple of the God of War more and more angry, if it weren't for the pressure of Archbishop Bosen, I'm afraid those paladins would have erupted and fought to the death with those damned soldiers.
But it was not a way to go on like this, and Jenn had been delayed in coming back, and the others were a little shaken. The paladins are fortunate to say that they have a strong faith, and since Jenn has received the favor of the god of war, he will definitely return safely. However, those mercenaries are not so determined, the matter is so big, and most of them know about the of the Valkyrie Principality and the Temple of the God of War, but they are not afraid of the mercenaries of the Valkyrie Principality, anyway, it is the same wherever they eat, regardless of the faces of those nobles. However, the turmoil during this period still caused them a lot of doubts and worries, and many mercenaries wondered if Jenn would die in the dark region. After all, the Dark Regions are so dangerous, as the saying goes, there are many mountains and tigers, even if Jenn is very familiar with the Dark Regions, what if he encounters some terrifying and powerful monsters or dragons? Are they going to wait here forever?
As time went by, according to the rumors in the store, there were more and more rumors, and Locks also knew that in addition to the worries of the mercenaries themselves, the Valkyrie Principality sent people to fan the flames was also one of the reasons. They wished that the temple could not bear the pressure and turned away, and then the Valkyrie Duchy would be able to find a way to deal with Jenn properly.
"Hey..............."
In fact, Locks doesn't know what to do now, and it is a good thing and a bad thing that Jenn disappeared without a trace during this time. Truth be told, Locks also hopes that Jenn will return safely, and it would be better if they could find what they were looking for. But on the other hand, the thought that Jenn would return to the temple and have to clash with the Valkyrie Duchy again for this cause caused Locks to have a headache. The Temple of the God of War is also one of the Nine Saints, and of course it acts in accordance with the laws of the world. If something goes wrong on this issue, it will be a trouble to meet the Valkyrie Principality. Don't look at the shouting of the God of War Temple, but his family background is not hard, and he doesn't have much confidence to fight, it's more to pretend to show his attitude.
"Knock knock."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. And hearing the knock on the door, Locks frowned, could it be that those paladins below came to report that the stronghold's hearts were unstable? He's almost losing all his hair for this little.
But complaining is complaining, Locks still raised his head and spoke.
"Come in."
As Locks spoke, the door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the paladin.
"Looks like Captain Locks has been doing well these days, how's it going? 一qiē顺lì? ”
"Mr. Jenn?!"
Looking at the figure of the young man standing in the doorway, dressed as usual in a gorgeous aristocratic dress and with an elegant smile, Rockton stood up in surprise.
"You're back? 一qiē都回顺lì? ”
"Fortunately, although the gray dwarf watched a little closely, I still have some clues."
Jenn nodded to Locks' inquiry, then walked over to the table and sat down. Of course, he wasn't talking nonsense, and through Guò's experience in the Dark Elf City during this time, Jenn had almost gotten detailed information about the Sage Statue from Lord Dina Buddha. And after returning, he used the [Evil Eye] to go through a thorough scan of the entire Brandon Stone City, and had found the location of the statue of the Sage.
And Jenn is sure that if there is no problem, then the statue of the Sage that the Temple of the God of War and the Queen of the Spider God need should be the same thing.
That makes things a lot more interesting. (To be continued......)
