Chapter 560: The Templar's Correspondence
Jenn was so excited that he had acquired a legendary mage, and even that night, he asked Elise to relive his excitement with him. And just when Jenn and Elise were tossing together. In the distance, in the White Tower of the Templar Order, a meeting is also taking place.
Archbishop Hegel looked at the noisy crowd in the conference hall in front of him with a tired expression, and at the same time pressed his forehead helplessly. He knew exactly what the meeting was about, and because of what Jenn had done, the White Tower was now passive. And what happened to Archbishop Edward to Passus's territory before had already spread throughout the inner court of the church, after all, this kind of thing could not be hidden. The purpose of this meeting was to summon Archbishop Edward and inquire about his previous journey to Passus on behalf of the Templar Order. In the face of the Council's inquiry, Archbishop Edward was naturally furious, and even more severely criticized Jenn's actions. He even said to his face that this nobleman was an accomplice of the devil and an evil minion, and that the Templar Order should arrest and eliminate him at all costs!!
From a certain point of view, he can be regarded as crooked.
At the same time, Archbishop Edward also pointed the finger at Morris, believing that he was not religious, could not resist in the face of evil threats, and even raised his hands to surrender, which was also a depraved act.
And this pot Morris definitely does not carry it, he told the truth bluntly, and unceremoniously said that if you want to fight a war, please send troops directly, we are not specifically going to send them to death. This Archbishop Edward doesn't blame others for slapping his face if he wants to provoke trouble, not to mention that the other party has not done anything wrong, Archbishop Edward ordered his subordinates to kill people in this situation, and he is also the henchman of the lord......... Hehe, if you want to die, I won't die for such an unreasonable order!
The two sides directly tore their faces and quarreled at the meeting. The archbishops were also quite surprised, Edward was a fiery temper and everyone knew it well. But it was a surprise to the archbishops that Morris was so annoyed. Although he was a reformer, he was always mild-mannered. That's why these Archbishops' Synods sent Morris with them, and also to counterbalance Edward. But I didn't expect that this trip would end up with such an ending, which is really speechless.
It's no wonder Morris is so annoyed, they didn't cause the incident in the first place. As a result, because of this old stubborn obstinacy, he and others were inexplicably locked up in prison for more than ten days, and then kicked out. Anyone who puts this kind of thing on it will be annoyed. Not to mention that Archbishop Edward kept whispering in his ear, which annoyed Maurice as well. And now that he dares to publicly accuse himself of ungodliness at such a holy archbishopric synod, then Morris will naturally not sit still.
There was a fierce noise above, but the archbishops below were silent. Because they all know very well that there is only one central point in the dispute between the two sides, that is, whether the outcasts of God are sinful people or not, and whether they should be eliminated?
But this is a difficult question to answer. God's outcasts are one of the few historical problems in the church that cannot be solved. Moreover, the message of God's outcasts was not sent out by the church at that time, but first arose among the people, and then in turn forced the church to acquiesce. Of course, the rumors of Godforsaken also have their historical background, it was a long time ago, the entire Klein continent suffered a disaster, grain production was reduced, and there were many droughts for many years. In this case. People can't afford to feed themselves, and they can't afford to raise children. So they chose a very cruel way. That is, only able-bodied children are left to raise, and those born with disabilities are thrown out to fend for themselves. Of course, people themselves feel guilty about doing so, and this is where rumors of God's outcasts come into being. At the time, the Templars had not yet united, so there was no way to respond to such rumors. It wasn't until the Nine Saints united that the Templar Order was formed. This can be regarded as consolidating the power and status of the Sky Divine Kingdom on the ground.
But hundreds of years have passed by this time, and during these hundreds of years, the rumors of God's outcasts have not stopped. So when the Templar Order took shape, they found that the rumor had become a headache. You know, this rumor has been circulating for hundreds of years. No one knows who exactly it was in the first place. But those lower classes of people are simple, and in their opinion, such a rumor can be passed down from ancient times to the present, then it means that the rumor should be correct. Not to mention that even many of the clergy who joined the Templar after this were convinced of this, so it became a muddled account for the Templar.
Not to mention that the rumors about the outcasts of God have noses and eyes, and even the scriptures quoted are indeed the content of the creation epic, so that many senior archbishops and scholars do not know whether this is really the will of the gods or what is going on.
This is also the reason why Archbishop Edward insists on this, because as long as it is proved that the outcasts of God are sinful people, then everything he does is for righteous and proper behavior. Morris was naturally adamantly opposed to this, and his reasons were very good, since the establishment of the Templar Order, there has never been a code of law that says that the outcasts should be eliminated, and as paladins, they represent justice and order, and naturally have to follow the rules. Instead of what you think is evil, what is the difference between us and those wanton cultists? Morris even bluntly claimed that Edward was not as good as Jenn, and that the lord had killed all the evil creatures in the Order!
As soon as these words came out, he almost fainted to death in anger for Archbishop Edward. For a while, the two sides also came and went, and they did not back down.
"A farce."
Sitting in his chair, watching the quarrel below, Supreme Bishop Murray frowned and whispered to himself. They convened the Archbishopric because the Templar later learned that Jenn had received Imperial envoys from Colensia. Although there doesn't seem to be any substantial development between the two sides, considering that the envoy is personally led by Pragg, one of the seven mages of the Rainbow Council, it can be concluded that Colencia has decided to intervene. That's what makes the Templar Order's nervousness. If it were someone else's, maybe the Templar Order wouldn't be so nervous, but with Jenn, this young man was so bold and daring to do anything, and it could be said that there was nothing he couldn't do. If he had made any deal with the Wizard Empire, the Templar's face would have been lost to his grandmother's house.
Moreover, Jenn's identity is still a diocesan bishop, and it is definitely not a happy thing for a diocesan bishop to have a connection with Colensia. Not only that, but the most important thing is that the news of what Edward and his party did in Passus has spread, and that the archbishop of the Templar Order has attacked and even tried to kill innocent people in other people's territory, and once this kind of thing spreads, then the prestige of the Templar Order will drop a lot, not to mention the backlash from the nobility.
It's a pity that judging from the words of Archbishop Edward and Chief Paladin Maurice, this time Jenn still has no handle that they can grasp, and as before, he does things very "politically correct" every time, but the way he does things is "inappropriate".
Of course, it is also very simple to make what Jenn does less "politically correct", as long as it is determined that the outcasts are sinners, then Jenn can go to the judgment seat as a shield for evil. But after a whole 1,235 years of unconclusive rumors, can they now make a decision at once? Not to mention the fact that Jenn was sheltering the outcasts, the Templars had known for a long time, and it was impossible for them to make trouble in this regard now.
It seems that there is only one way.
Thinking of this, Murray raised his head and looked at the top bishops sitting in their chairs not far from him, only to see that they also exchanged glances with each other, and then nodded. It seems that they think the same way as Murray.
"Silence!"
After agreeing, Muradin, the Supreme Bishop of the Sun Temple, stood up and tapped the gavel in his hand, stopping Edward and Morris from arguing. Hearing Muradin's words, the other archbishops also stopped their discussion, because they knew very well that the Supreme Bishop had already made a decision.
Facing everyone's gaze, Muradin also coughed, and then spoke.
"It is well known that the necromantic army from the Lost Swamp is currently moving forward, and after the loss of the Northern Frost Fang Fortress, our coalition forces have taken a considerable blow. If we can't keep these evil commander creatures at bay on the Shores of Chaos, the consequences will be dire! ”
Hearing this, all the archbishops were stunned, they originally thought that the archbishop was going to announce the verdict on this matter. But I didn't expect that as soon as Muradin's mouth opened his mouth, he would directly digress from the topic and talk about the undead army......... Does this have anything to do with this? But soon, they understood what the Supreme Bishop meant.
"In the glorious city, the Bishop of the Diocese of Pachanon showed his bravery, fearlessness and noble judgment against the undead. We believe that when the disaster strikes now, he should show his own courage and glory to inspire the soldiers on the front line! Therefore, we have unanimously decided that the Bishop of the Diocese of Pashanon will lead a group of knights to the Chaos Coast to stop the invasion of the undead army together with the defenders there! ”
Hearing this, all the archbishops suddenly opened their mouths, and immediately applauded in their hearts. The archbishops couldn't have been better. Since the bishop of the diocese of Pashanon Mens is so fond of causing trouble, then simply let him go to the front to cause trouble. Anyway, the war on the front line is tense right now, and we need help. And the dragon legion under the bishop of the diocese of Pashanon is also a good help for the front! Not only did it strengthen the defenses of the front, but it also prevented the diocesan bishop from running elsewhere to find trouble, killing two birds with one stone.
It couldn't have been better! (To be continued......)
