Salin destroyed churches in more than ten cities along the way. Unlike the last time he destroyed Iron Wall City, Salin only targeted churches and the believers who protected the churches this time. wWW!QuANbEn-XiAoShUo!CoM
The little girl who wanted to protect the cardinal never tried to persuade Salin since she arrived in the floating city, but remained a bystander. See with your own eyes how Salin destroyed the church.
Instead, Salin couldn't help it and asked the girl, "Why don't you try to persuade me to give up attacking these churches?"
The little girl's face was full of piety, and she said to Salin:
"It is God who uses your hands to cleanse the filth of this time. Those who do not believe in gods and those whose beliefs are not pure will go to hell."
"Is your faith pure?"
"Of course, I believe that gods will come to save me, otherwise how could I not die?" The little girl's words made Salin dumbfounded.
Is this the logic of believers? The only way he could refute the little girl was to kill her.
But I promised the cardinal not to kill this person... "How old are you-"
"Twelve years old."
Salin thought to himself, there is no need for me to kill a twelve-year-old child just to discern one thing. However, unless she is thrown into purgatory, this little girl will firmly believe in the Lord of Radiance and provide the Lord with the purest power of faith.
Even without magic, this little girl is close to a saint.
Salin didn't try to convince anyone. He came to Tangulas this time just to use violence to destroy the country's belief network. He would not let go of any church.
What's more important is that those who saw the floating city and were still guarding the church were the ones with the purest faith. It was people like this that Salin wanted to eliminate. A noble believer provides a hundred times more power of faith than a false believer.
What is the most important thing about a religion? Not a code, but a devout believer.
The Floating City gradually approached the Tangelas Empire. Between the Tangelas Empire and the Principality of Divine Grace, there was a relatively large city. This city belonged to the Holy See.
Cologne is a city with a population of only 100,000, but more than a million believers come to worship every year. This is a place second only to the Holy City. In the hearts of believers, this is also a holy place.
Salin's speed was not fast, so when he gradually approached the city of Cologne, more followers of the Holy See were marching towards the city of Cologne, preparing to protect the church.
In the headquarters of the Holy See, the Nick Cathedral in the Holy City, the young Pope, wearing a holy robe, sat at the end of the round table and listened to the reports of the cardinals.
Behind him, there is a young magician wearing a white robe. This is the new Pope Chief. In fact, the status of the Pope General is very special. Normally, he is only regarded as a servant of the Pope.
Gerges was a little impatient. He put his hands in his sleeves and held something.
He does not have the three artifacts of Pope Dinisio, but he wears a crystal skull around his neck. The young man behind him had a cold expression, and there was an obvious divine mark between his eyebrows.
That was a sign of his surrender to Gerges, a powerful young magician who was forced by the divine messenger to sign a contract with the young Pope.
This kind of contract can be said to be extremely unfair, but when the divine envoy was there, the Council of Cardinals was in complete chaos, and only the divine envoy's orders were the only ones that could be executed.
He paid for his freedom, but gained the power given by the divine messenger.
"Your Holiness, why are the people from the God's Mission missing?" A cardinal below asked Gerges.
Everyone knows that the divine messenger is missing. It is no longer a secret. At this time, people from the Mission of God came to the Holy City, but the young pope turned them away.
The elders of the Cardinal Council have long been ready to make a move. They can still suppress the envoy when he is there. If the envoy disappears, these people are all qualified to be the next pope.
Geges is just the pope appointed by the divine envoy. Without the three artifacts, it does not comply with the rules of the code.
Should this child be sent to heaven to receive the glory of God? The elders of the Cardinal Council exchanged glances with each other. No one of them was willing to take action first because they did not want to lose the chance of losing the papal throne.
In history, there have indeed been cases of popes being deposed by their own people, and of course, there was blood involved. Anyone who kills the Pope will be disqualified from becoming the next Pope.
Gerges sneered: "You all hope that I will leave here as soon as possible, so why ask me why I don't see the people from the God's Mission? If I have a tacit understanding with the people from the God's Mission and make secret deals, what will happen to you? Can’t even get it?”
Gerges said sarcastically in a tone that was not befitting his age at all. Those cardinals, because they were wearing red robes, could not see the change in the color of their faces.
Maybe this is God’s will, otherwise why would the members of God’s mission wear white robes
Seeing that the cardinals did not answer, Geges waved his hand and said: "Go and tell the people of the God's Mission that unless Faka comes to see me, let them go."
"The Pope, that blasphemous mage, is flying to Cologne." A cardinal couldn't let Gerges relax about meeting the divine envoy, so he had to talk about other things.
If Geges is willing to meet the people from the God's Mission, the Cardinals are willing to pay a huge price to let the people from the God's Mission kill Geges.
Everything must have fixed procedures. If we kill the Pope for no reason now, no one will gain anything.
The difference between God’s envoys is that God’s envoys can directly receive instructions from God. If the people of the God's Mission kill Geges, they can compile an oracle, and everyone will benefit from it.
As long as the Pope does not come out of the Nice Cathedral, no one can do anything to him.
This kid named Gerges has no idea where he got the messenger from. He has a cold personality and cannot be persuaded.
"Cologne, the city of saints." Gerges smiled, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Holiness, please re-issue your order." A cardinal babbled.
Geges turned around and said to his head pontiff: "Wuya, is that so?"
The magician named Wu Ya replied: "Your Majesty the Pope, you are the Patriarch of the Holy See, and all magicians must act under your light. This time, the magician came menacingly and targeted We cannot defend all the churches of Jiaoyan one by one, but he will definitely go to Cologne, and you should indeed issue an order to let the believers protect that city."
"Okay, I will temporarily hand over this right to you. I am still young after all. Wuya, you have the final say on how to mobilize manpower."
Gerges' words were a bit unruly, but what he said was unfounded. He was still young, and if he was asked to issue orders, he would cause who knows what kind of trouble.
But everyone in the Cardinal Council was very disappointed, especially the cardinal who asked the question. He originally hoped that Gerges could delegate power, but Gerges put the power in Wuya's hands.
Wu Ya is not on the same page as them.
When Wuya heard what Geges said, she was happy at first, and then saw the hostile eyes of the elders of the Cardinal Academy.
It seems that this position is a bit difficult to sit in.
However, there is a contract between him and Gerges, and he cannot disobey Gerges' order. He just hates why this 7-year-old son is so smart. When he first came to the Holy See, this was just the descendant of a mud-legged man, the remains of a farmer. I don’t know what magical magic God used to instill a lot of knowledge into Gerges, making this child very intelligent.
There was no one in the room of old men who could fool him.
"Ahem... Did you hear clearly what the Pope meant?" Wuya didn't care anymore. Those guys from the Cardinal Academy can do whatever they want. I am not the young Pope. With his tenth-level magic, If they want to kill themselves due to the master's ability, these elders still have to think about it.
"Wu Ya, then I'll listen to you." The elders replied coldly.
Gerges laughed. The divine envoy said that without Anchor II, the followers of this god would be dirty and full of lust. In this room, which was supposed to be the most holy place in the empire, it now looks so dirty.
The Holy See has not produced a saint for five hundred years, right
"Then I'll say it." Wuya took a step forward nonchalantly and said to the elders around the round table: "The defensive power of Cologne City is only average among the many cities in the Holy See. Even if it is a holy city, relying on It is impossible for ordinary people to deal with that mage. That is a city flying in the sky.
The emissaries reported that the blasphemer named Salin could fly the city to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters and throw stones downwards. Think about it, if he does nothing but collects boulders and throws them into the city of Cologne, what good way can the knights of the Cardinals counterattack? "
"What do you mean?"
"The Cardinal Academy, doesn't it still have the last strength?" The elders glared at Wuya. The so-called last strength of the Cardinal Academy is the 10,000 knights of the Kingdom of God, a truly powerful army.
This is the highest combat power on the sacred plain.
If the Knights of the Kingdom of God are destroyed, then the card in the hands of the Cardinals will be almost gone.
"Combat units that cannot fly are meaningless to that city. If you think what I said is wrong, you can refute it." Wu Ya said with a smile. His thoughts can be described as vicious.
In fact, everyone knows that in the end everyone can only defend the sacred city. Another way is to mobilize all the magicians who can fly to intercept the floating city.
If you don't take the initiative to fight, the floating city will fly everywhere, and the power of the Holy See will not be able to control it at all.
"Since no one objects, let's do this. Send the Knights of the Kingdom of God, contact the Black Prison Island, and ask the warden to send more flying jailers. I know that there are at least a million such soldiers in the deepest part of the Black Prison. , it would be good to lend ten thousand."
This is Wu Ya's plan. Black Prison Island will not covet the position of the Pope. The borrowed soldiers will hand over the command to Pope Geges. In this case, it is equivalent to transferring the Knights of the Kingdom of God and then introducing powerful flying jailers.
As for the city of Cologne, there is nothing we can do if it cannot be saved. (To be continued)
