Views:

The Holy See, located on Mount Hyjal, is the holy land of the Holy See, stretching for more than a hundred miles, at the foot of Mount Hyjal, is the seat of the holy capital of the Holy See.

Every day, there are an endless stream of believers who come to worship, but their scope of activities is limited to the peak of Mount Hyjal, kneeling far away towards the peak, and reciting holy prayers.

Without permission, these believers are absolutely not allowed to go up the mountain, because the mountain is the residence of the great figures of the Holy See. Except for the families and guards of those big men, no one can enter Mount Hyjal without permission.

The peak of Mount Hyjal is not high, but it covers a very wide area. The peak is covered with snow all the year round. Even in the hottest summer, the top of the mountain is very cold.

The supreme ruler of the Holy See is the Pope. As the spokesperson of the God of Light in the world, he has supreme power in name.

However, this is only in name, in fact, his power is also restricted by the Presbyterian Church.

The Presbyterian Church is the core force of the Holy See. Apart from the Pope, there are eight elders in total. Within the scope of their work, they have great power, and sometimes even the Pope cannot interfere.

The Holy Code stipulates that even the pope can be deposed if more than six elders jointly oppose it.

The Nine Sacred Halls, on top of the nine peaks of Mount Hyjal, each peak has a temple, and each temple has a hall owner, and the temple is the place where the elders live and handle their daily affairs. The names of the nine halls and Their supreme rulers are:

The Temple of the Divine Metaphor—the spokesperson of the God of Light in the world, the place where the current Holy Pope Entes lives, is on the peak of the Divine Metaphor.

In the Hall of Judgment, the lord of the hall, Judge Nord, has the power to interpret the sacred code, and is also the most powerful elder, at the peak of the judgment.

The Hall of Judgment, the Lord of the Hall, Ivan the Judge of Light, one of the members of the Presbyterian Church, has the power to judge heresies. Once a heresy is judged, it cannot be changed forever. It is at the peak of judgment.

The Hall of Honor, the head of the Holy Knights, Boulder, one of the members of the Presbyterian Church, is in charge of the core force of the Holy See - the Holy Knights, on the Peak of Honor.

The Temple of Order, the Lord of the Temple, Oliver, the Consul of Light, is one of the members of the Presbyterian Church. He captures and executes the heretics convicted by the Temple of Judgment, and leads the law enforcement agencies in various places. He is the peak of Order.

The Temple of Salvation, the Lord of the Temple, Priest Imena, one of the members of the Presbyterian Church, is in charge of all the priests of the Holy See, at the peak of Salvation.

The Temple of Pious, the Lord of the Pious Army Commander Wharton, one of the members of the Presbyterian Church, in charge of the Holy Crusade, is at the Peak of Pious.

The Palace of Guardians, the Commander of the Guards of the Palace Lord Helin, one of the members of the Presbyterian Church, is in charge of the holy guards of churches everywhere, as well as all the guarding forces of the holy capital and Mount Hyjal, the peak of guardianship.

The Temple of Faith, the lord of the Temple, Archbishop Dockett, one of the members of the Presbyterian Church, is in charge of the priests and priests of the churches of the Holy See in various places. He has the greatest power, but his status is the lowest among the temples, the peak of faith.

The masters of the nine temples all have strength above the sanctuary, and the Holy See has become one of the most powerful churches in the Noah Continent, with nine sanctuary powerhouses.

In addition, there are two branch halls in the hall of the Pope's oracle, which are the Hall of the Son and the Hall of the Virgin.

The selection of the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter is a major event in the Holy See every year, because the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter are the successors of the Pope. choose the real pope.

The Holy Son and the Holy Maiden are selected from the boys and girls sent by the Holy Roman Empire and its dependent countries. They are required to have the talent of light, and they must remain virgins before succeeding to the Pope, regardless of whether they are boys or girls. On the contrary, the Temple of the Holy Child and the Temple of the Holy Lady have the least power, almost no power, but their status is extremely high, second only to the Pope, except for the Presbyterians, anyone in the Holy See who sees them has to salute and speak rudely Those who do will be severely punished.

The Holy See, the Presbyterian Church.

In a majestic hall, there was a dead body suddenly. The body was covered with a sacred white red cross and white flag. More than ten people sat on the seats with solemn expressions.

The body on the ground was the body of the holy son Guderian. A few days after he disappeared, Aryan thought it was getting worse. He personally led the team into the dark forest. Unexpectedly, he found the body of Guderian and others. corpse.

It was a snowy day at that time, the body was well preserved, and the saint son Guderian still maintained the posture when he died.

Guderian was once the Son of God, and his identity and status deserve the honor of wearing the sacred banner.

Standing next to him is Father Aryan, who sealed Guderian's body in ice and snow and transported it to Mount Hyjal. According to his rank, he is not qualified to participate in such a meeting, but because he was a witness of everything at that time , the Pope hereby makes an exception.

"Sure enough, it's a necromancer!" An old man in his forties or fifties observed Guderian's body carefully for a long time before he sighed and said.

The speaker is Ivanov, the lord of the Hall of Judgment, the presiding judge of Light. His strength has reached the high-level level of a sanctuary powerhouse, and he is only a thin line away from the peak. As a sanctuary powerhouse, according to the strength of a paladin, The division has reached the level of a holy knight. Although he looks middle-aged, he is actually over a hundred years old.

After becoming a strong person in the sanctuary, their lifespan will be greatly extended, and they will be able to maintain youth forever, and Ivanov is no exception. Of course, eternal youth does not mean immortality, but their appearance and body can maintain a relatively young state.

"Presiding Judge Ivan, how can you be so sure?" An old man with white hair and no age can be seen frowned and asked, only to see him sitting on the throne, his wrinkle-free face was full of treasure-like dignity His expression, he was wearing a white robe, with a golden crown on his head, and holding a sacred staff that symbolized power in his hand. He was Ernst, Pope Ernst, a man with more power than the emperor.

For countries under the influence of the Holy See, as long as they do not have his permission and the blessing of the Holy Rod, even the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire cannot ascend the throne, which shows the great influence of the Holy See.

Ivanov nodded. Everyone knows that Judge Ivanov likes to be called Ivan, so people who know him will automatically omit the last two words.

"Judging from Guderian's trauma, it is highly suspected that the necromancer killed him. The outward wound on the shoulder, like the wound caused by a spear weapon, I clearly remember that the secret book in the Holy See The Necromancer described in the museum has a similar weapon called 'Bone Spear'... "

Ivanov spoke eloquently, and everyone listened carefully. No one raised any doubts. Everyone knew that the presiding judge Ivan, who was in charge of the Palace of Judgment, was a well-read figure.

"Your Majesty!" Ivanov bowed deeply, "Forgive me, if my guess is correct, what I met this time is not an ordinary necromancer we know well, but probably a legendary one. —Ancient Necromancer!"

"The ancient necromancer?"

"No way? Ancient Necromancer? Isn't this a legendary profession?"

"It is said that the ancient necromancers have powerful combat power. Is this true?"

"It should be, otherwise how could Guderian be killed?"

"It's also possible that someone else did it..."

As soon as Ivanov's words fell, all the hall masters whispered below, and most of them had a look of suspicion in their eyes.

"Quiet!" Just as the voice of the hall master was getting louder and louder, the voice of Pope Ernst sounded at the right time. He waved his hand, and the voices of the people in the hall quickly quieted down. The authority of the Pope still remained. It works.

At this time, Ernst glanced at Arya and said, "Aryan, please tell me what you have found and know, including hearing and rumors!"

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope!" Aryan was excited, he pulled himself together and began his long narrative.

His voice echoed in the hall, and everyone in the hall listened carefully, no matter how slowly Aryan spoke, there was no trace of impatience.

"Sure enough, heresy!"

After everyone listened to Aryan's narration, an old man stood up and said, this old man looks like a mouse, and the noble and sacred bishop's robe looks extremely uncomfortable on him. He continued, "Your Majesty, allow me to cast these blasphemous heretics to hell!"

A woman as beautiful as a young woman frowned, "Dokit, I don't think it should be so arbitrary, I have heard from the beginning to now, and I have never heard of the Necromancer that Aryan saw with his own eyes, all are heard, said and Doubt, based on these things, is it too hasty to define a good person as a heretic?"

The one who spoke was Imina, priest of the Holy Word of the Temple of Salvation, and she was a more serious person.

"Ugh!" Father Aryan was at a loss for words when Imina questioned him.

"Aryan has never seen that young man named Ron use undead magic since then! From his narration, he didn't even see Ron with his own eyes. Your Majesty, I always think it's inappropriate to be so hasty. !" Imina said the first few sentences to Aryan, but the last sentence was to His Majesty.

"Imena!" Docket's voice rose, "Then what happened to Guderian's death?"

"There is no evidence to prove that Guderian's death is related to that Ron, not even to prove that it is related to the Necromancer..." Imina did not show any weakness. She is a person who sticks to principles. In her opinion, without evidence, one cannot conviction.

"You..." Docket blushed with anger, unable to utter a word. In his opinion, Imina's behavior of insisting on principles was like holding him back.

Both of them turned their eyes to His Majesty the Pope, waiting for his decision.

"This..." Pope Ernst was also embarrassed. He trusted Aryan's words, but Imina was also right. It is unfair to classify a person as a heretic without evidence. The Holy Spirit who always claims to be fair The Holy See has no reason to do such things.

At this moment, a soldier of the Knights Templar hurried over and whispered a few words in Pope Ernst's ear. After hearing this, the Pope's face changed suddenly.

He waved his hand to let the soldier retreat, looked at the people in the hall and said slowly, "Just now there was news from the Holy Roman Empire that the heir of the Salter family died, and he was killed by a necromancer, and that necromancer From the small town of Maple Leaf, the same person who killed the Geralt family of the Naka Manor that Aryan said... "
