Negotiations with the emperor of a certain country have been over for three days. After the small storm has passed, the city seems to have regained its calm, but in my personal opinion, it seems that this can only be regarded as the calm before the storm.
"Mills Milan, the most devout prince of the Baier royal family, he was diligent and diligent, shed blood for the motherland, and was highly valued by my emperor Oros, but today, he was assassinated by despicable assassins, those The hypocritical villain even pretended to be an ally from the country of mages in an attempt to provoke discord between the two countries, but in the eyes of the wise and powerful His Majesty Oros, how could such clumsy tricks be effective? There is only one truth. , the murderer is... the Church of the Holy Church!"
Although it is ridiculous, this is indeed the "real" that all parties expect to see.
The assassination of Mills has been characterized. He was killed by assassins sent by the Church of the Holy Church. As for the so-called dark elf assassins, it is only for the convenience of blaming Bayer's "closest ally" the kingdom of mages.
When the citizens saw the announcements on the advertising boards and outside the city walls the next morning, their expressions probably concealed what was called "The world is changing so fast, I don't know anything."
Of course, the rumors and so on have been flying all over the place.
But rumors are sometimes very useful, such as when the country is in turmoil, and sometimes they can only become interesting stories that the tabloids dare not publish, such as this time.
Then the funeral was held the next day, and it seemed that it was time to put the matter to a conclusion.
But in a sense, to hold a funeral for Mills in this name is actually putting gold on his face. When Baier's royal guards cleaned up Mills's house the next day, unexpectedly He found the traces of undead collusion, and then checked the information from where they were found, and copied the homes of two princes.
reason? It's actually very simple. What the princes are looking forward to most now is the power to fight, and the undead are naturally good at fighting. Coupled with the previous friendship, they hooked up.
In addition to covering the undead, the princes will also provide blood food for the undead who have bloodthirsty desires. Judging from the dozen outsiders and the punishment room looted in Mills' basement, Mills was directly tried by Yawen. "The Evil Ones" really isn't wrong.
Judging from the testimonies of the rescued, it has not been a day or two since he fell. He worshipped the evil god of torture in private, and while making great progress, he also personally "used" a lot of sacrifices.
"... He used to be a real soldier, he once fought bloody two days and two nights for his comrades in desperation, he once swore in front of me to change the rotten and inefficient warlord aristocracy of the Bayer army, and now... I'm the one who did it him."
Hearing the report from the chamberlain, the old emperor spent a morning in the garden, and finally only squeezed out this sentence.
Perhaps, the hero who returned on the hellish battlefield, his firm will can withstand the most desperate situation, but after trying for ten years of wealth and power, he unknowingly became the man he once hated the most.
"... Let's have a thick burial."
Perhaps, this little mercy for retaining his reputation was the last sympathy the old emperor had for the candidate for the successor who had held great esteem.
The funeral the next day was for the three princes, and of course the assassins from the Church of the Holy Church killed the heroic and fearless princes, in an attempt to create a conflict between the two countries, and even cause a war.
So the Church of the Holy Spirit was shot again... Why did he say "again", in fact, it was not wrong for him to be shot.
Human beings are creatures with a natural inclination towards light. The gods of light, holy light, etc. are born to benefit when preaching. Whether this tendency comes from the sun is irrelevant, and when a church representing light and justice dominates the spirit of more than half of mankind And religious words, in a sense, he has achieved absolute rule.
why? Because as long as he puts forward a certain opinion and a certain thing is correct, I am afraid that other people's objections are meaningless, and in fact, considering the remaining opinions, it is difficult to unify, as long as he can achieve one-third Enough is enough, but in the world of Ashe, the belief in the Holy Light today is more than one-third of the human world.
Absolute power represents absolute corruption, and what does absolute theocracy represent
"...You well-dressed bishops of Holy Light claim that what you do is authorized by the God of Holy Light, then, if your reason and morality are guaranteed by God of Holy Light, who is the reason and justice of God of Holy Light? I can guarantee. At least from what I have seen, the kind-hearted people are doing the deeds of beasts, and the robbers are showing the name of God. According to your logic, since you hypocrites have not been punished by God today, is it you? Lord True God has lost his mind? Is God dead? Or is God crazy?"
The ravings of a mad blasphemer whose name has been erased has unknowingly spread throughout the world, and the mad man who laughed at the stake is said to have been a devout cardinal whose crime was his own hands Killed several colleagues who played with the boy, including his mentor.
But I think his biggest sin is telling the truth - God is crazy.
Perhaps human beings worship the light out of instinct, but human beings get rid of shackles and restraints also out of instinct. Coupled with the natural struggle between kingship and theocracy, the most important thing is that the holy church, which has obtained absolute theocracy, is always in the cycle of decay, corruption, and innovation. As long as they survive, the rebels will naturally never end.
Ordinary plants cannot survive in the desert without water and soil, and the seeds of discord often grow on the cliffs full of gaps.
“…Pure Holy Light does not need to believe in false gods. The Holy Church only believes in a false god in the name of Holy Light. Prince Mills, Prince Maas, and Prince Cattelan are all saints who believe in pure holy light. , their death is the evil god's fear of true faith!"
In front of all the nobles and big businessmen in Baier, Archbishop Amoye of the southern sect angrily denounced the hypocrisy and shamelessness of the Holy Church, while showing his holy light.
"Only light is eternal! In the name of the first pope of the church, I declare these three princes to be martyred saints. We will fight for revenge, for justice, and for pure light."
An accident created history. Now that there is an opportunity in front of us, the Church of Pure Holy Light has entered the stage of history. Archbishop Emoyer has also become Pope Emoyer I, and the three villains who are full of evil have become saints. .
As the background, it was the old emperor who had lost his beloved son in tears, and Archduke Helent took the lead to imitate the ancient oath, scratched his face with a knife, vowed revenge, and then responded to the shouts of the people with a roar.
"...We've lived here for generations, and those hypocritical villains actually condemned us as heretics, invaded our land, and killed our people. Well, since they want war, we'll give them war! Bayer , Wansheng!"
When Helent's speech came to an end, the funeral scene became a swearing-in meeting before the expedition. When the audience gathered together, war was no longer a symbol.
In the crowd, I covered my mouth in a cloak to avoid laughing, and bowed my head and explained with a smile to Grena beside me.
"The righteous Helent? The sincere Oros? The holy Mills? At this moment, the relationship between the holy and the evil is so ambiguous. This is the royal family famous for the snakes and scorpions. Perhaps, this is how I always feel that human nature is always like that. It's elusive, the reason humans are so interesting."
