Chapter 352 Taunt
It must be admitted that although what Earl Sullivan said was straightforward, it actually made sense.

The charge of blasphemy is serious indeed.

In Parvatiga, blasphemy and enemies of God are the most serious crimes related to religious authority. Other crimes are only related to a certain family or a few temples. Even if they are convicted, they may still be able to pass The hostile forces taking refuge in these temples can escape punishment, but the enemy of God is different. Once the identity of the enemy of God is determined, that person will definitely die.

Because all the churches in Parvatiga will be enemies of this person, regardless of whether the churches are related or not, even churches that are completely unrelated, and even sworn enemies like the Water Temple and the Fire Temple, will join forces to join forces. In the operation to destroy the enemies of God, he devoted all his efforts.

The most typical example is the Ephesus Rebellion 400 years ago. It was the darkest era of chaos. The temples were fighting each other endlessly. In a small border town, the evil demigod warrior Ephess passed by. At that time, he drunkenly raped a priest of the Lady of Mist, a third-rate god in charge of the mist, who was only regional in terms of number of believers and influence.

In fact, this kind of viciousness is nothing new in the era of chaos, and with Ephes's transcendent status as a powerful demigod, no one will really hold him responsible for this. At most, he will apologize in person and pay a large amount of compensation. It will be solved.But perhaps thinking that the temple had no time to take care of other things, the demigod Ephes lost his respect for the gods. Not only did he insult Ms. Mist in front of Bishop Mist and the priests of the temple who came to argue, but he also killed Ms. Mist in the end. Archbishop of mist.

The enemies of God were established, and the fighting temples actually stopped fighting. All the temples joined forces to encircle and suppress the demigod Ephess.There are very few powerful demigods among the priests, but all the temples clearly rejected the offer of several demigod believers to assist in the encirclement and suppression, and relied only on the temple's own strength to fight against the enemy.

Demigods have long been separated from the category of mortals. Their strength cannot be considered with mortal thinking. No matter how many legendary and golden experts there are, it will be difficult for them to have an impact on demigods. It may be difficult to kill them with the power of the temple alone. Damn Ephesus.However, no one expected that these priests were going crazy. They caught up with Ephesus in Robiat City, who was walking around as if nothing had happened. The seven legendary archbishops introduced the power given by the gods into their bodies and forcibly His strength has been elevated to the level of a demigod.

After a great battle, the city of Robiyat was reduced to ruins, and Ephesus was killed on the spot. Four of the seven archbishops who participated in the battle died under Ephesus' counterattack, and the remaining three were also killed. They died one after another within a few minutes of the battle. Their bodies were completely destroyed by divine power and turned into dust, and their souls returned to the Kingdom of God.Priests can use the power of the gods to strengthen themselves, but once it is overdosed, the body will be destroyed by the power of the gods, or even the soul will be assimilated. Therefore, this is a destined result before the battle begins.

This battle also allowed the world to see the bottom line of the temple. Everything else is negotiable, but blasphemy has exceeded the limit of the gods' tolerance. No god will tolerate it, including gods who are the enemies of gods. Same.Because daring to blaspheme the gods means that you have lost your respect for the existence of the 'gods'. What you do is not against a certain individual, but a provocation against the gods as a whole. Of course, the gods cannot let go.

Once an enemy of God appears, no church will speak for him, let alone protect him. And due to the pressure of the church, no government dares to risk offending the divine authority to protect the enemy of God. After all, clergy are in the secular world. In the eyes of power, he is half a lunatic. He can even risk his life for the glory of the gods. With the example of Ephesus in front of him, who is willing to fight against these lunatics.Moreover, the church is only the agent of the gods. Even if it temporarily suppresses religious authority, there is no point. Among the eight gods in 920, some of them particularly like to come to the mortal world.

However, precisely because blasphemy is a serious crime, it is often very cautious to establish it. If you are facing an ordinary civilian, any church is an existence they can only look up to. Once you are accused of being a blasphemer, you can easily be characterized. .

But the nobles, especially the big nobles, are different. As long as they do not openly blaspheme, like insulting the gods they serve in front of the apostles, or openly challenging the majesty of the gods in front of the world like Ephesus, it is difficult to judge them as blasphemous. Gods, after all, they have the protection of the secular imperial power, which is completely different from ordinary civilians.

Therefore, even if he utters blasphemous words, Earl Sullivan is not worried at all. This level of blasphemy is not enough to anger the gods and make them personally punish them, but wants to accuse himself of blasphemy. Haha, the people present, There are only himself and his two sons, and the rest are Dark Moon Church insiders. There is no evidence, just their family's words. Even if they are a powerful church, the accusations against him will be resolved in a protracted dispute. After all, what's more, they are just a small church outside the mainstream. Anyone, including other clergy, will only laugh at them because they don't understand sense of proportion, and it is impossible to stand on their side.

Therefore, Earl Sullivan is very sure. He has always been so sure. In his knowledge, except for the accident that broke his arm, as long as he is willing, no one can escape his control and violate his will. The same goes for Shuuer, who is highly rated in the data.After cleaning up these troublesome things, I have plenty of time to educate my disobedient daughter.

Not only did she disobey, but she also dared to cut off one of her arms. She must pay the price.Although the arm was reattached in time, I always felt that it was sluggish to use, and I often felt soreness and pain. Especially every time before something big happened, the pain would be severe. This was the case last night.Um?Is something big going to happen? Will the political situation of the empire change again?
Earl Sullivan began to think about other issues, because in his eyes, this matter was over. Seure and his party had no ability to resist. They had no choice but to obey. It would be better if they refused to obey. He didn't mind crushing them like a bug, and he could completely cut off his rebellious daughter's last hope.

Then, he saw the smile on Shuer's face.

A bright smile, with a bit of relief, as if he was the winner, made Earl Sullivan feel angry again.

You still dare to smile in front of me, and you still dare to show a winner's smile. The lion is angry, and anger spurts out from his eyes.

"Praise the Lord of Sincerity, Your Excellency, you are right. I admit that most of your judgments are very correct. I can't find any words to refute it. If it were not a matter of position, I would want to applaud you. "Just when Earl Sullivan's anger reached its peak and was about to explode at any time, Seul wore the holy smile unique to the clergy and said leisurely, "But with all due respect, I have a question I want to ask you first. Hey, you are the commander of the Black Feather Legion and a big shot in the imperial military. May I ask, have you really led an army and participated in a war? Even if it was just a small-scale local friction." I didn't want Earl Sullivan to answer. , Shuer immediately took it up himself: "If you have really participated in a war, then you must know that the most important thing on the battlefield is the control of information. Information can decide everything. Therefore, the pseudo-war was born. If the generals commanding the troops are fooled by false reports and make decisions based on wrong information, they will pay a very heavy price, and may even be wiped out and lose everything."

Earl Sullivan's anger subsided instantly. He only felt the dull pain in his broken arm again. Facing Seul's gentle gaze, he felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, and his subconscious was giving crazy reminders. Danger is all around him, but he still can't figure out where the danger comes from.

There was even a thought in his heart that he didn't want to admit. Could it be that the eyes in front of him were the real source of danger?

"Your Excellency, the Earl, is very careful, always observing, and always forbearing. From the time I got off the aeroboat, I spent most of the time with Saff, wandering around the city without any cover-up. I don't believe your eyes that escaped me. , but you didn’t come forward or even did anything, whether Saff and I were together or apart, this gave me a headache, Your Excellency, Haha.”

"You should be lucky that I didn't bother to pay attention to you then."

"Too lazy to care? Haha, no, no, no, it's because you are not completely sure. Although the Earl may seem tough and rough, he is the kind of person who will never act rashly if he is not completely sure. Once he takes action, he will bite his opponent to death. The problem is If you don't take action, how can I have a chance and an excuse? So I invited the Silver Fox Duke, tsk tsk, the lady serving the soup is so beautiful, the soup she served tastes different, and that The old women who clean the restaurant are so dedicated and clean every corner. However, if their walking postures were more natural, maybe I wouldn't be able to tell that they are secret agents." Shuu Eryi He spread his hands, with a smile that made people want to punch him, "I don't want to see it, I'm also desperate, but what can I do? Who told me that I have had the experience of training secret agents for a long time, even if I keep it closed Eyes, I can also smell the secret agent smell on them.”

"Thank you for their cooperation and timely delivery of the information that I was taking Safu out of the Lion City. However, you could still bear it. You just burned her secret stronghold with a fire. It's strange. You can't possibly not see it. The root of the problem is me. If you want to continue to control Safu, you must first deal with me. But you haven't come to put pressure on me yet. I'm a little suspicious. Are you really Safu's father? She is so stupid. You are so cute and stupid, how can you be so 'smart'?"

　The big taunting spell is activated. As I write this, I almost want to slap Shuer. Well, I am ready to counterattack.
