"No, not necessarily His resurrection."
Lightning split the night, the sky and the earth turned white, and the face of the king was as cold as a plaster statue in the light of thunder. He put the holy book on the table, and there was an inexplicable chill in his tone.
"Those who betrayed once will never be stingy with betrayal for the second time. Since they have tasted the sweetness of extraordinary power, and because of this, they are majestic and unique in this land, then...why don't they think about replacing them? ?"
The easiest thing to forget is awe, and the easiest thing to breed is ambition.
"The original Holy See did not have the concept of the pope having universal power." The king's fingers were touching, and his memory was always astonishing. When the Earl of Wally talked to the king several times, he was surprised to find that the king's familiarity with history was not inferior. For any outstanding historian, "Bishop Anil once mentioned that the missionary slogan when the Holy See was first founded was 'build the city of the Lord on the ground', and the city on earth is the embryonic form of the kingdom of God. This At that time, all rights in the teachings of the Holy See belonged to Saint Peter and the Lord."
"The rise of papal power has been a gradual process."
Earl of Wally spent most of his life researching the history of the Holy See, and the king responded quickly when he mentioned him.
"In the beginning, the Holy See doctrine emphasized the worship of the dignity and power of the Lord, as well as the doomsday and the universal outlook. However, by the sixth century, the importance of the pope and the power he wielded began to rise. Like theologians, they also carefully cultivated a group of eloquent jurists, and by the seventh century, when the first Lucados were promulgated, they began to preach that the secular kingship had been subordinated to the pope."
"Before that, secular kings were the incarnation of the Lord in the world, and they were the same agents."
said the king.
"In the early days, only the jurists of the Church advocated and supported the universal supreme power of the Pope. But soon the theological circles began to try to confirm this. They claimed to In the present and the future, the eternal Creator stipulates that the monarch must obey the priest[1], and the excommunication order was born from this time, but the excommunication order itself has logical problems - the same as the incarnation of the Holy Lord, the Pope Where does the right to punish the monarch come from?" Earl Wally's speech was rapid, "Lukado started from the set of decrees, and the subsequent decrees have become more and more powerful, the universal supreme power of the Pope, how did they achieve it? of?"
"Purgatory and Intermediaries."
The concept of purgatory requires people to believe in the Holy See, and the intermediary role played by the clergy in the right of redemption, the role of the guide of the gate of the kingdom of God, allows them to skillfully transfer this part of the power to themselves in the name of God. And with the development of the internal order of the Holy See, the prototype of a divine kingdom system appeared with the bishop system, and inevitably, the power was concentrated to the top of the system - the Pope.
"He personally taught his followers how to steal his authority."
said the king softly.
This is a great irony.
The Holy Master steals power from history and wants to use it to resurrect. The Pope and the Holy See stole power from the Holy Lord and used it to rise to the top of the secular throne.
The cycle of fate, like an ancient curse, betrayal will be betrayed.
If the conversation between the King and the Earl of Wally was known to the world tonight, then countless people would lose their spiritual sustenance overnight, and they would be in panic and do not know where to go. The gods of salvation are fake, history has been tampered with, beliefs have been exploited... The sturdy spiritual empire collapsed in a conversation, leaving only the cold and cruel truth.
"Although the Holy Empire has been established, the Holy Lord may not wake up - there is a person in this world who is more reluctant to let the gods truly revive than us."
Earl Wally's clothes had already been soaked in cold sweat again during this conversation.
The king's pale fingertips rubbed the bone ring in his hand.
He was thinking of something else, about "laws".
The incompleteness of the decree allows mysterious powers to hide in the darkness and interfere in human history before the Millennium Kingdom begins. Half of the incomplete part of the law was in the hands of the World Serpent. It betrayed in the "Battle of Twilight" and intercepted part of the victory of the war. This half-broken decree makes it hide in the cemetery of the gods to absorb power.
Then, there should be half, and who is in the hands of that half of the incomplete laws
"The Olde."
The king whispered, as if answering to the Earl of Wally, and as if speaking to himself.
…
Theold was walking in Colin City.
The atmosphere in Colin City has been tense these days, even though Siold has restrained the Knights Templar from allowing the massacre of Kothsoa to be staged here. However, the relationship between the knights and the citizens is still full of gunpowder, and conflicts may break out at any time.
"I know that within the Holy Court, there have been many different voices about this Holy Army movement. Some people think that I am too aggressive, and some people think that the time has not come."
Siold stood in front of Morse University in Collin City, looking up slightly at the college's arched stone pillar gate covered with roses.
"The long-term vision of His Majesty is beyond our comprehension."
Accompanying Siold on the walk was a bishop of the Holy See who had crossed the Abyss Channel. He was also a messenger with a secret letter from Holy Spirit Bay. However, when Pope Siold learned of his arrival, he was not in a hurry to get a secret letter from him, but instead invited him to walk in the city of Colin with him.
Since the establishment of the Holy Empire, there has been a delicate relationship between the Holy Court and the Empire.
Nominally, the Holy See and the Holy Empire are equivalent. But in fact, the Twelve Sanctuaries of the Holy See and the original systems were not completely integrated into the Holy Empire. Although the relationship between the two is still very close, as long as the Holy City of Holy Spirit Bay still exists, there will naturally be a separation point between the Holy City system and the Holy Empire system.
Even in the elders of the Holy Court, some elders thought that the entire Holy Court was fooled by Siold.
Siold took away the bones of the Holy Court's elite and created a new shell called "Holy Empire" on the land of Blaisey. Between the new shell and the old body, he is the only one who benefits, not the Holy Court. It's just that Siold's personal prestige within the Holy Court is too high, and this kind of voice has been suppressed before this.
However, when Siold led the Holy Court elite to attack Legrand, while Holy Spirit Bay was struggling to deal with the attack of the Furious Gold Empire led by Hull, this different voice surfaced again,
The presence of the Holy See bishop as messenger here is a representative of this voice.
The bishop of the Holy See knows the role he plays, but he is not a fool. This journey through Legrand's heard of The Olde's record is enough for him to know that he is facing a pope with unprecedented power in the history of the Holy See. -Also a king.
Faced with Siold's words, he carefully organized his words.
Siold smiled slightly: "Along the way, you look at these towns, these academies rising in the land of Legrand, what do you see?"
"I see heresy and disrespect to God."
The bishop of the Holy See replied.
This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart, not a lie.
In his view, Legrand was a place of filth that deserved hell, where commerce flourished, and Legrand's monarchs encouraged it. What is taught in the academy is not theology, but science. Heliocentrism, which has been defined as a fallacy and heresy in the "House of Truth", is widely spread here. What hangs in the gallery is not the Holy Spirit and angels, but some ordinary mortals...
Evil breeds here, and the believers here don't even recognize Holy See doctrine, they are indeed a group of heretics who call themselves "believers".
"But I saw anger, I saw vitality. This is a country so old, yet so young."
Siold looked at the arches of the university and said slowly at the rose reliefs.
"The battle of God's Punishment that broke her apart was the greatest victory of the Holy Court and the greatest defeat of the Holy Court - it should have been completely destroyed by then. Blasey's repeated expeditions could not defeat her, our preacher. She couldn't change her, but was changed by her. By the time we finally valued her, she had become strong again."
"Strong enough to go head-to-head with the 200,000 Holy Army."
Siold's voice suddenly became severe.
He has always been very gentle, but when the father-like gentleness recedes from him, what is revealed is the icy majesty of an emperor.
The Holy See Bishop only felt that in his eyes, he was like falling into an abyss.
"Legrand only has such a castle, with a mere tens of thousands of troops, but it can withstand 200,000 troops. And our Holy Court has twelve sanctuaries that took thousands of years to build, and each sanctuary is a sanctuary. An indestructible military fortress. Such a Holy Court, but unable to sustain the attack of a group of herdsmen?" Siold's voice was soft, "I'm disappointed."
The back of the Holy See bishop was soaked with sweat.
He handed the letter to the Pope, drafted the rhetoric that represented the meaning of the elders' house in his belly, and left without a word.
Sisien turned from the shadows on the side, went to Siold, and asked the Pope in a low voice if he wanted the Holy Court visitor to die in battle on the way back.
Theold shook his head and opened the letter.
The letter is not unexpected, it is the rotten elders of Holy Spirit Bay who intend to let him send the Knights of the Temple back to help.
Siold shreds the trust at will, letting the wind blow it away.
"It was a mistake to let them stay in the purge campaign," Sisian couldn't help saying.
"A bunch of rotten bugs that don't help. It's not useful, and it's not wrong." Siold said, he raised his head and looked at the city of Colin in the morning light, and watched the Knights of the Temple had to patrol the city in full force. , "I finally understood one thing these days. The year William III died, I made the most fatal mistake."
Sisien looked at The Olde in astonishment.
In his mind, Theold was a figure close to the gods, and he once thought that he would never see the day when this man made a mistake in his life. No matter what, he can take advantage of it, but today Siold himself said that he had made a fatal mistake.
"William III and the Duke of Buckingham were the craziest gamblers in the world."
Siold said.
They crafted one of the most daring lies and blinded everyone.
Purland, Purland.
There is simply no King Purland I of the Legrand Empire in this world.
