After the show, the audience flocked to the city's taverns to discuss the new play "The Temple of Los Angeles" by the Bredero Theatre Company

In the past, there was a lively discussion about the plays of the Bredero Theatre Company, with occasional minor frictions, but on the whole it was still enjoyable.

But this time, it's like sprinkling water into a boiling pan of oil!

Fierce quarrels resounded through the city of Askatra!

The situation gradually spiraled out of control, and the quarrel gradually turned into a fight.

In the Poseidon Pride Hotel in the port area.

"Bredrow has changed, he's been carried away by the hype and the immense wealth that came so easily, and this new show is nothing short of a bunch of rubbish!"

"That's right, ridiculous, twisted and hypocritical, made up for the sake of gimmicks and dramatic conflicts!"

"Hehe, it's normal for people in robes and bubble pants to not like this show! You can't understand it, you don't want to understand it, this is the real great drama! ”

"Rough man, do you know who you're talking to?"

Jack, the dock worker who interjected, did not dare to say any more, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he could only clench his fists and hang his head silently.

"Hey, you're very arrogant, I'm not afraid of you, I just think this show is good, and it exposes the nature of your rancid vultures!"

A man with a hood and several scars on his face suddenly spoke.

"Damn the Shadow Thief! You're just our dog, and you dare to bark at your master! ”

The shadow thief was so insulted, how could he care so much, he pulled out the shadow thief dagger and pounced, stabbing the young nobleman in the stomach......

……

Such fierce clashes are playing out all over the city of Askatra!

Young aristocrats and priests and holy warriors were extremely disgusted with the show, and criticized and even abused it endlessly.

Ordinary citizens, dock workers, sailors, vagabonds, and beggars have a lot of respect for this play, they have little knowledge, they can't organize flowery language, and in the debate they can only stalk their necks and say, "Good looks are good looks!" ”

Although they were numerous, they did not have the upper hand, and the nobles and clergy spoke louder, their language richer and more ornate, and they were more confident, as if they had grasped the truth.

The wind was tilting in favor of the nobles and priests, and when the "Temple of Losanda Temple" was about to be criticized, adventurers and the city's shadow thieves joined the debate.

Most of the adventurers are the bodyguards of the caravan, they are not afraid of the magnates in the city, and the shadow thieves are even more told by the nobles: "You are just our dogs." "Provoked, draw a sword at the slightest disagreement.

The "everybody loves Bredero" ethos in Ascatra changed dramatically overnight when a stage play was staged.

……

In the temple of Luosanda, the high-ranking priests gathered together, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

High Priest Gartnes was furious, the golden scepter in his hand slammed the ground, and said in a stern tone, "Why did Bredrow do this? Muritt, he so shamelessly slandered you and directed against you, what do you say? ”

Murrit is the vice-presiding priest of the Temple of Losanda, and in the drama "The Temple of Losanda", he is portrayed as a hypocritical two-faced man, even more evil than the devil.

Murrith was an old man, he was not angry, his expression was calm.

This deputy priest is actually the most devout of the many priests of the temple of Losanda, not at all the kind of person depicted in the play, he started as an apprentice priest, and for forty years, devoted himself to the study of doctrine, until his beard was white, and he was promoted to deputy priest, and the high priest Ghatney was more than twenty years younger than him.

"High Priest, Bredero is not targeting me, I have long reported to you that among the young priests and middle priests, there are some who do not behave in accordance with the teachings of the 'Holy Father', who are lost and degenerate in the prosperity of the gold capital, and I think that Bredero is aimed at this phenomenon. We should reflect on ourselves, take serious action against those priests who violate the rules, and make an announcement to the citizens about this matter, and ask for the people's understanding. ”

The High Priest frowned and pondered, he knew that what Deputy Priest Murit said was true.

Priests have divine powers, and even low-ranking priests can perform magic techniques such as "healing minor injuries", "delaying poisonous hair", and "removing diseases".

Ordinary people came to the temple and had to spend hundreds or even hundreds of gold coins to be healed, and the temple forbade priests to use magic privately and for free.

This is like a monkey who has to pay for the Buddha's scriptures.

The Temple of Los Sanda is one of the most luxurious temples in the continent of Faeron, with a large number of statues and ornate (even vulgar) stained inlaid glass windows, showing the vast wealth of the church.

All temples had a hall facing east, so as to ensure that the first light of dawn could be seen at the time of the early morning assembly, and the temple had to be built on a high ground in the center of the city to show the highest glory of the Holy Father of Lossanda.

If you want to build a magnificent and luxurious temple, you need the active dedication of the believers, and the priests will transform the magic into the assets of the temple.

Many poor families could not afford so much gold for treatment, and when they encountered misfortune, they fell on their knees in the temple and prayed for no answer—priests could not offer free treatment, and the power of the gods was by no means a cheap giveaway, which was disrespectful to the gods and would make believers feel contemptible.

Victims who have beautiful daughters, charming mothers, and lovely sisters at home have no choice but to let their ladies try to find some young and energetic priests to help.

Of course, this kind of help will not be free, and the divine power will be rewarded.

In the original plot, there was a woman with a five- or six-year-old child who dragged the priests around the temple area, insisting that the child was theirs, but there were very few priests who denied it, and most of them thought that it was a debt left by them after countless romances, and obediently paid alimony to her.

In addition, the phenomenon of a small number of priests collecting money behind their backs to perform divine magic to enrich their own pockets also occasionally occurs, after all, the magic position is not used, it will be invalid after expiration, even if it is used today, it can be restored after the dawn prayer tomorrow, and no one knows.

There are many young people in the church of Los Angeles, and one of the teachings of Los Angeles is to shelter young people, who are uncertain in their hearts and have difficulty enduring long and arduous penance. Therefore, there are also many fallen holy warriors in the Church of Los Angeles, so many that they have formed gangs in the Bridge District to do evil everywhere.

In the original plot, Chanem received the task of getting rid of the fallen paladins in the temple area, and used the Holy Grail as bait to kill all the fallen paladins.

The deputy priest, Murit, was strict with himself and also with others, and hated this kind of unspoken rules in the church, and reported to the high priest many times, wanting the high priest to investigate thoroughly and remove all the priests who had fallen from the church.

High Priest Gartnes sighed secretly, Muritt was older than him, but he had only been promoted to deputy chief priest for so many years, precisely because he didn't know how to be flexible.

If being a priest is like an ascetic, with only boring prayers, ceremonies, and reciting scriptures every day, how can impulsive and active young people persevere, how can they want to become pastors in Los Angeles?

In order to become a high priest, the first condition is not that the faith is the most devout, but that a certain level of piety is sufficient.

The high priest must know how to operate, be able to build a magnificent temple, recruit more priests, develop more believers, and spread the glory of the Holy Father more widely.

Isn't the purge of young and mid-level priests who have violated the rules to confirm the accusations in the play "The Temple of Losanda"?

In addition to the loss of a large number of young pastors, the self-exposure of this big scandal will also lose a large number of believers, leaving the church in a state of collapse and a long time before it recovers.

The big picture should be in mind!

Father Loshanda's ambition is to establish a new divine system and spread his faith throughout the continent of Faeron, even if it causes a tragedy such as the "Dawn Tribulation".

Turning a blind eye to oneself is truly in line with the doctrine, and Murrit is too old-fashioned, so he can only be a deputy priest.

High Priest Gartnes shook his head slowly, he was not going to take the suggestion of the Deputy Priest.
