Old days in the box

Chapter 157 The Choice at the Crossroads

In the past few days, Freya has been trying to contact Tain, and she has not paid much attention to what is happening in Marseille.

She had just learned about the appearance of the Raging Waves Tribunal. It was said that they had taken away the Bishop of Marseille and completely rounded up all the relevant personnel of the Raging Waves Cathedral.

The Cathedral of Raging Waves has the greatest influence in western Europe, especially in the Holy Roman Empire, and is almost the only legal belief. Naturally, they will not recognize an existence more powerful than the God of Raging Waves appearing in the Book of the Sea.

Before this old orthodoxy has gone far, this flame must be extinguished, and these twisted beliefs cannot be allowed to continue to spread.

The Raging Wave Trial Bureau is here for this purpose.

At this time, Freya was also near the church, quietly watching the parade of people and the knights of the Raging Waves Tribunal.

The knights all had serious faces, wearing stiff white leather coats, with muskets strapped to both sides of their thighs, and holding bound editions of the Book of the Sea in their hands. Their image was somewhere between a priest and a soldier, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Freya felt an unusual magical aura from them. According to rumors, the Raging Tide Trial Bureau is the only violent institution directly responsible to the Pope. They possess the most powerful blessings and power in the Church of the God of Raging Tides.

Now it seems that this rumor is somewhat credible.

"You are blinded by blind illusions, turning a blind eye and hearing but not hearing! You believe in false gods! The sons of the past are the real saviors. I have seen the truth..."

In front of the church, the Bishop of Marseille and the church's senior leaders were taken away to white carriages, and they shouted angrily and loudly.

"This is not the Holy Roman Empire, but Frank! You have no right to arrest people here!" The Bishop of Marseille's eyes widened and he shouted angrily at the knights of the Tribunal.

"About foreign jurisdiction, you don't need to worry - before we get here, the director has already gone to Versailles to meet your Frankish king, take them all away!"

The knight from the Tribunal was obviously well prepared. He answered the Bishop of Marseille's question expressionlessly while waving and shouting.

The white carriage quickly took away all the people and strode away on white horses.

Freya had no intention of taking action from beginning to end, and had been secretly observing their movements in the crowd.

Essentially, both sides of this group of people were members of the Church of the God of Raging Waves. They would always send people to reclaim the branch. It was reasonable and she was not allowed to interfere.

Moreover, the most subtle part of this is that although the Raging Waves Tribunal arrested the bishop, it has never issued an arrest warrant for her, the former saint.

Freya's identity is not only a saint of the Children of the Past, but also an important diplomat representing the North Sea Kingdom. The Raging Waves Tribunal is wary of the powerful country behind her and does not dare to attack her easily.

"It seems that now it is the turn of the God of Raging Waves to be dissatisfied with me... This is really not interesting. I just helped you suppress Egil." Zhou Xiao watched the internal confrontation within their church with relish, and found it very interesting. .

If he hadn't been busy dealing with Tayin's affairs now, he would have been really interested in playing with the God of Raging Waves.

But in any case, through this great victory and the spread of the Book of the Sea, the image of the Son of the Old One has been established in the Frankish Kingdom. Next, it is time to consider how to harvest these beliefs.

"Freya, return to Beihai first, we need you there." Zhou Xiao turned on the microphone and gave a simple divine guidance to Freya.

The Port of Marseille is currently in a storm. At this time, it is better to take a step back than to take a step forward.

The Raging Wave Trial Bureau deliberately did not target Freya, so the Beihai Kingdom naturally could not break its rules.

After all, it is easy for Freya to take action against these people from the Inquisition, but it is difficult to establish a good image in Europe. If he takes action first, he will become a son of the past who has no name and interferes in the internal affairs of other churches at will.

Zhou Xiao doesn't need to do anything special now, he just needs to wait for the Raging Waves Trial Bureau to make mistakes.

The more they mess up Marseille and arrest prisoners everywhere, the more beneficial it will be to Zhou Xiao. It is best to send another news about the execution of the bishop by the Inquisition Bureau. By then, the Frankish people will be completely angered, and the beliefs of the Sons of the Old will be justified. The earth has come to take over this mess.

"Understand my Lord." Freya disappeared from the crowd, quickly returned to the port, jumped into the sea, and moved towards the Eastern Continent not far away.

And just when the city of Marseille was in a commotion over the old orthodoxy and the raging orthodoxy.

A group of white carriages that also belonged to the Raging Wave Trial Bureau had quietly arrived at the Palace of Versailles and stopped in front of the Hall of Mirrors.

The director of the Raging Wave Trial Bureau got off the carriage, looked around with a serious face, and then walked into the Hall of Mirrors.

In the Holy Roman Empire, only the most ardent believers in the God of Raging Waves are eligible to join the Inquisition Bureau, and the director of the Inquisition Bureau regards the faith in Raging Waves as an honor more important than life, and one can imagine his level of loyalty.At this time, they came as the Holy Roman Empire. The soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop them, so they had to lead them into the Hall of Mirrors.

Passing through the corridors of the Palace of Versailles, the Chief Judge came to this hall, which is famous for its luxury and magnificence. He saw the crystal-clear walls composed of countless floor-to-ceiling mirrors on both sides, as well as His Majesty the King on the throne.

At this time, there was no candlelight in the Hall of Mirrors, and everything was plunged into gloomy darkness. Only a little sunlight leaked in from the window, and was refracted by the mirror walls, providing very limited illumination.

His Majesty Taiyin, who was famous for his successful expedition, was sitting on the throne, like a decadent walking corpse, or like an old man who was about to die, with empty eyes.

The director was a little surprised. According to the information he had, His Majesty Tai Yin should have hosted a banquet in the Hall of Mirrors today to entertain a group of extraordinary people from Frank. Why is there such a scene here?
The air is still filled with the smell of death. Although Hela has left, the smell of the kingdom of death has not completely dissipated in the hall.

"Dear His Majesty Tyin Odinson, I come on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire, on behalf of the Holy See of the God of Raging Waves, and on behalf of the Pope of the Sea." The director spoke calmly, and slowly saluted Tyin with one hand on his chest.

Taiyin didn't answer him, he still looked forward as if he had lost his soul, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I'm here today to discuss the issue of the Faith of the God of Raging Waves in the city of Marseille in your country. You may not know that there are heretics in the church in that city and they are spreading twisted beliefs. I need to bring them back to the Holy Roman Empire."

The director continued to speak in an orderly manner, seemingly not caring about His Majesty the King's silence.

"In addition, the Holy See of the Holy Roman Empire has officially issued an invitation to your country. I hope that the Frankish Kingdom under your rule will return to its lost ways and join the embrace of the God of Raging Waves. With your great power, you are fully qualified to share God's power with us."

"roll."

Taiyin's eyes finally fell on the director of the Trial Bureau, and he gave an extremely concise answer.

At this moment, he was in no mood to talk about God's power.

Especially after he had just been rejected by the gods.

"I completely understand your feelings. In fact, today I am not only here to apply for jurisdiction with you, I also bring a gift from the Pope."

The director raised his eyes, and his deep voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he had already anticipated Taiyin's harsh words.

The Raging Waves Trial Bureau is responsible for hunting down heretics, investigating and eliminating corrupt elements in the God of Raging Waves faith. How could such a violent organization suddenly be so abiding by the rules and come to Taiyin specifically to apply for jurisdiction in another place?
His target has always been the powerful king of Frank.

"If my information is correct, Your Majesty the King should have lost someone important recently, right?" The director stood up straight and raised his voice: "Before I set off, the Pope personally presided over a private meeting that was not open to the public. The public interpretation meeting was informed of this by the gods.”

"What do you want to say?" Taiyin gradually frowned.

"Like I said, a gift."

"The God of Raging Waves has given a clear divine guidance to the Pope, let me bring you the words - as long as you can make the belief of the Children of the Old disappear from Europe, what you are pursuing is the yin and yang between life and death. Despite the distance, He can reverse it for you.”

As if the chief judge had played his biggest trump card at the card table, his voice became more passionate, echoing in the empty and dim hall of mirrors, and reaching Taiyin's ears with deafening excitement.

"what do you mean……"

"You know what I mean very well, Your Majesty Taiyin, think about it carefully, but please remember that time waits for no one."

The chief judge interrupted Tai Yin's words, then turned around indifferently and left the Hall of Mirrors on his own.

The Inquisition of Raging Waves does have to deal with the faith of the Children of the Old Ones, but how could they be so stupid to get their hands dirty and take action against a sudden rise of the North Sea Kingdom.

The reason why they deliberately skipped arresting Freya was because there would be a more suitable person to do it for them.

While Zhou Xiao was waiting for the trial bureau to make a mistake, the director of the trial bureau had already made an equally clever move.

Everything started with the Frankish Kingdom and should end with the Frankish Kingdom.

Tai Yin looked at the departing figure of the chief judge in despair, standing at the crossroads of fate and not knowing how to make a choice.
