Licinius withdrew his gaze, his eyes reflecting endless light, and turned to look at the people standing on the city wall, then spread his hands and said lightly: "I killed two people, and then what?"
No one answered.
Josiah gave him a long look, then turned and left without hesitation.
Only the Cardinal and the nobles were left looking at each other, as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially Cansius, his expression was extremely interesting, his throat was dry: "Priest of Light, isn't the Priest of Light already gone? And even if, even if he is the Priest of Light, can he just slaughter members of the Church at will? Wouldn't that violate the dogma and he wouldn't be punished?"
As the head of the Priest Department, Princess Penny knew what was going on. "The Priest of Light has a sacred and extremely special status in the church system. Generally speaking, priests never take the initiative to intervene in anything, so their presence is not strong. However, in the church system, no one wants to provoke priests."
"Because priests are the core of the church system and master divine arts. Father, do you know what divine arts are? Compared to us mortals, divine arts are also a kind of magic, but its essence is to directly summon the power of the goddess of light! You heard it right, it is to summon the power of a true god."
She paused and said, "All the forbidden secret arts of the Messiah Holy Church are based on divine arts, and in the huge church system, only the priests of light can use divine arts."
Cansius's old face became extremely ugly.
"So far, the Messiah Church has only one true priest, and that is the one who just appeared, Ophelia Acelt, but she has been confirmed to have lived for at least two hundred years."
Princess Penny paused and whispered, "If the High Priest of Light dies, then the entire system of the Holy Messiah will be missing the most important link until the next High Priest of Light appears. Before that, the successor to the priesthood has not appeared for a full fifty-seven years."
Cancius understood.
The emergence of the new priest is of vital importance to the Messianic Church.
Even if the new priest killed two high priests right away.
You can't punish him either.
"So, who is that person in the armor?"
Cansius murmured, "Could it really be Valerius Licinius? How could he be the Priest of Light? I cannot accept such an ending. This is neither magic nor reality..."

The Kingdom of Light...
The High Priest of Light stood at the end of the temple, holy and noble, like a god.
In front of her was a huge bronze round table, and on the table was a sacred and ancient sculpture of a goddess.
There were phantom shadows floating around the round table, looking solemn and sacred. The most eye-catching person was wearing a moon-white robe and a golden crown, looking dignified and majestic.
There was only his shadow, burning with sacred golden light, sitting at the head of the bronze round table.
The Pope of the Holy Messianic Church!
On the other side, there was the shadow of a middle-aged man with six large swords on his back, and he was silent.
The Hero of Light...
In addition, there is a paladin wearing a silver helmet and armor.
And an old woman shrouded in black religious robes.
The five demigods of the Messianic Holy Religion system gathered here.
"I also didn't expect that a new generation of light priests would appear in the Brentanian Empire."
The High Priest of Light said softly: "I understand what you mean, but I will not reveal his true identity to you. You have all seen the power struggles within the Church over the years.
The Ancient Priests only have one heir, so I will protect him to a certain extent before he grows up."
She paused and said, "There is no need to object to this matter, and no objection is allowed."
The Pope raised his eyes and glanced at her. After a moment of silence, he said, "I agree. The Abyss is about to awaken. The Book of Revelation has predicted the coming of natural disasters. The Ancient Priest Department cannot have any accidents at this time."
The High Priest of Light smiled with satisfaction.
"Rhine, especially you."
The Pope said calmly, "Don't try to investigate the identity of the new Priest of Light. It's just that Hart and Brian died. There are as many archbishops as you want. Moreover, these two people, like Archbishop Kallen, also violated the doctrine."
The Pope of Light and the High Priest of Light have reached a unity.
Then there is no room for maneuver.
The Rhine Paladin remained silent.
The Hero of Light never participates in these things, but just acts as a spectator.
As for the Grand Judge of the Inquisition, he had no opinion on this matter, but raised another question: "Regarding the betrayal of Archbishop Kallen, the opinion that the Inquisition can give is... since the person is already dead, there is no need to cause any more trouble."
"The new generation of light priests seem to have some degree of connection with Archbishop Kallen, otherwise they would not take such a huge risk to kill Archbishops Hart and Brian."
She said, "We might as well go with the flow and do him a favor. After all, before he came to the Kingdom of Light to be baptized, he was still a member of the Brentanian Empire, and no one can guarantee whether he has faith."
The High Priest of Light smiled and said, "Thank you for your tolerance."
End of the meeting…
Four sacred shadows appeared like ripples on water and then disappeared without a trace.
The High Priest of Light stood alone in front of the bronze round table, a faint smile on his lips.
After a moment, an old man in a religious robe came over.
The person in charge of the Ministry of Letters and Rites, Archbishop Gates.
"Gates, you did a great job this time."
The High Priest of Light said calmly: "Help me find my successor in time."
Archbishop Gates smiled and said, "This is my job. Speaking of which, this time was also very thrilling. We had already used the light of faith to accurately locate the young man named Valerius Licinius, but the group of idiots under my command became suspicious because of his last name."
"How ridiculous! The surname Valerius is indeed a descendant of the ancient demon clan. However, in the long river of history, their bloodline has long since withered and dried up, and they have been divided into the main family and the branch family."
He said, "If it is the main family, there may be some ancient demon blood flowing in it, but according to our investigation, the current branch family is pure human and has nothing to do with demon blood. I extracted the information of Valerius Licinius and basically concluded that he is an undisputed branch family member."
The High Priest of Light commented, “I see.”
Archbishop Gates raised his head proudly with a smile on his face. "Because he has never shown any magical talent since he was a child, he was abandoned by the Valerius family and sent to the border. If he were a member of the family, he would have been captured and bred to reproduce. How could he be abandoned?"
"Also, regarding the fact that he has no magical talent, I can only say that those foolish mortals are blind. He is a priest of light who possesses the power of light. His talent... is of course in the field of divine arts!"
He added: "How can a mediocre magician be worthy of a noble priest of light? So I came to you as soon as possible to report his true identity, otherwise I'm afraid it would delay important matters!"
The human bloodline that split apart.
It was detected that he had no magical talent since childhood.
And possesses the power of light.
There is no doubt that this is a priest of light, a priest of the Messianic Church!
And it turned out that his judgment was correct.
Valerius Licinius is the new generation of priest of light!
This time, Archbishop Gates felt that he was the main contributor.
"High Priest, look."
Archbishop Gates said: "There is a fundamental difference between me and the group of idiots under me. I am a smart person. Therefore, I know nothing about what Hart and Brian did."
The High Priest of Light responded calmly: "Well, in a sense, you have indeed made great contributions, and you are worthy of being the most intelligent person in power in the Ministry of Faith and Rites. However, to be on the safe side, I still have to erase your memory of the new generation of High Priest of Light. Do you have any objections?"
Archbishop Gates said sternly, "How could that be? I am different from those fools. I am the wisest person in the Ministry of Faith and Rites. In order to ensure the safety of the Priest of Light, all of this is what I should do."

No. 57 Zebra Street.
Noren looked at the two uninvited guests in silence without saying a word.
Because the young master was not at home, she seemed particularly reserved and at a loss.
The two little girls, Daphne and Desiree, sat obediently beside them, eating ice cream.
"Ahem..."
Dean Hodel, leaning on his cane, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Little Norn, grandpa came here this time to make an unreasonable request. No, it can't be said to be an unreasonable request."
The gravekeeper glanced at him, his expression a little unnatural: "Well, it's not an unreasonable request."
"Uh..." Noren said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Dean Hodel smiled amiably, took out a painting from his back, and said, "This is your young master wearing steel armor. Do you think he looks handsome?"
On the drawing board was an iron monster under the moonlight, with most of his armor shattered, revealing half of his bloody body. Blood was dripping between his steel and iron bones, and scarlet blood mist was steaming.
Noren nodded seriously and hummed.
"But your grandfather and I think this armor is also suitable for you!"
Dean Hodel said, "Do you want to wear armor? This is a man's romance."
Norn was slightly stunned. This was the young master's alchemy technology. Why would he give it to her
"Do you want to become a priest of light?"
Dean Hodel smiled and said, "Do you want to tear the Archbishop apart, punch the brave, kick the military, and no one dares to do anything to you? Do you want the Holy Messiah Church to lick your ass? Become a high-ranking official in the Church who combines glory and honor?"
The gravekeeper also said expressionlessly: "Noren, do you... understand what we mean?"
Noren blinked and tilted his head, not understanding.
At this moment, the door of the house was kicked open!
Licinius walked in anxiously, picked up the cup and drank some water, then lowered his voice and said, "No need to understand, what time is it? I still have the last bit of fallen angel power in my hand, let's try it out and see if it fits her. Then I'll teach her how to activate the power of light in her body and send her directly to see His Majesty! Damn it, two generations of Night's Watch can't beat a mere His Majesty?"
Noren: “…”
Li Xini ignored the others, put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and said affectionately: "From today on, you are the Supreme o Priestess of Light o Iron Giant o Savage Woman!"
Chapter 248: Just two generations of night watchmen...
Today, Licinius finally learned his lesson.
There is a price to pay for cupping.
On his way back from the city gate, he received a message from the dean and teacher.
The truth can no longer be concealed!
Originally, the entire capital was filled with traitors working for them, so it was easy for them to deceive their superiors and subordinates. A series of major events that had occurred recently could be reported to His Majesty after being polished.
It's as steady as an old dog.
But the problem now is that His Majesty is back.
The rival parties are back too.
Licinius, however, did not wait for the news to die down and without further ado, made a big news.
Explode directly!
When he realized the seriousness of the matter, he rushed back to discuss the plan with his allies.
Knock knock!
Licinius knocked on the table and said solemnly, "First, let's speak with one voice. From the beginning to the end, since I returned to the capital, whether it was the actions of the Administration, the revenge against Trinity College and the Valerius family, the annihilation of the Rose Sword School, or even the last Scarlet Night."
He paused and said, "Noren and his substitute puppets did all this, including what happened today."
At this moment, the long-forgotten substitute puppet was brought out again and dusted off.
This miraculous relic can replicate the appearance of a human body by dripping blood, hair and other body tissues into it.
It can even simulate the human heartbeat and temperature.
Although in essence, this thing is a wooden man.
Dean Hodel sighed: "At this point, this is the only way."
The gravekeeper hesitated and said, "It all depends on fate."
At the same time, Noren was sitting on the sofa, chewing an apple, with his head tilted and a silly look on his face.
There were three people present: one was immortal, one was about to die of old age, and one was already dead.
The three of them turned their heads to look at the savage woman, still feeling a little uneasy.
