Law of the Devil

Chapter VIII Chapter [Scandal]

The room was silent for a moment, and Du Wei frowned: "How could this be? This Mithus has been able to combine the three genres and become the first pope, then his origins and identity, sure everyone It should all be known, why is it..."

"Speaking of this Mithus, his personal experience is a legend." Rams still plays the role of storyteller, and Maximos continues to remain silent.

"This Mithus is not the master of any genre. In fact, when he traced his personal history, he was actually a priest in a small church. He and the founding emperor of the Roland Empire, Aragon. His Majesty is a fellow countryman, and he is still an acquaintance of the past. His Majesty Aragorn was born in a small aristocratic family in the south-central part of Roland, and His Majesty is the priest of the Church of Light in a small religious institution in the area.

It is a small religious institution in a town that is not prosperous. There are few people in the religious school and there are not many clergy. His Majesty was born into a devout family of believers. At the age of sixteen he entered the religious office and dedicated himself to becoming a clergyman. At the age of twenty-two, he became a new priest in the religious school. The priest...because there was no other person at the time. As everyone knows, when Aragorn was young, he had a few years of adventure outside, and he had caused a lot of trouble. He was once caught by local officials at the time. It is said that for a while, Aragorn fled back to his hometown and did not dare to go home, and he was hiding in the religious institution under charge of Michaus. It is said that there is a deep friendship between the two.

After the fall of Aragorn, the power to control a small country made strangers feel strange. It seems that in all historical records, Mithus was from that time and appeared in the land of Aragorn. According to historical records, at that time, Aragorn gave Mithus a call for believers in his sphere of influence. Effectiveness.

Prior to this, there was no record of the cooperation between Mithus and Aragon. Say a disrespectful word. It seems that the two of them suddenly came together... Of course, the descendants made speculations, there is a saying that has been recognized by most people, that is, in fact, when Aragong’s troops are under the command, Mihesus is already God. Gong’s close comrades. And later. In order to help Aragun's united war, Mithus ran across the various schools of the Bright Church on the mainland, convinced many people to participate in the unification of the cause, and he used his outstanding ability to complete this feat.

Subsequently. In the war of unity, the Church of Light has stepped up the cooperation with Aragon step by step, and Mithus, from the beginning of the role of the liaison. Gradually, I gradually took control of the power of many churches. After all, he was originally a priest of a church. If it is said that the Church of Light has helped Aragon to complete the great cause of the empire, then perhaps it can be said that ... the cause of Aragon, and objectively created the position of Mithus in the church.

After all, at the beginning, he was the middleman of the alliance between Aragon and the church, and because he was also a priest, he gradually became a spokesperson for the cooperation between the church and Aragon. At last. In the unification of the great cause, he has made great contributions to the prestige, and there is no prestige in the church. He finally won the heartfelt support of all, and officially established the original loose church to become a strict organization: the Temple of Light! And he himself officially became the first Pope.

Objectively speaking, the Temple of Light can have today's situation. His Majesty has a great deal of credit. Without his efforts, the Church of Light is still only a loose organization. It may not even be an orthodox on the mainland. Moreover, without his efforts, the three genres of the year would not cooperate.

His Majesty is a smart leader. He is good at communication, good at connecting and uniting all aspects of strength, bringing everyone together and twisting them into a rope. It is a pity that even if it is smart, like Hughes, it is impossible to completely eradicate the differences in the genre within the church. Therefore, when he is alive, he can temporarily unite the various schools, but in fact, when the mainland is unified, he teaches After the ancestry, the differences in the genre within the church re-emerged, and the lives of the last few years of the Messi were almost spent on disagreements on how to quell the power struggle within the church.

Moreover, in the last few years of his tenure, in fact, according to the speculations of future generations, His Majesty has lost control over the dispute between the following schools. After all, before the reunification of the mainland, when everyone has a common goal of struggle, they can still listen to the persuasion of Mi Hughes, temporarily lay down their differences, and work together. But after the reunification of the mainland, there are no common enemies and common goals. Then the cornerstone of 'unity' no longer exists, and Mihsius can no longer find a reason to unite everyone.

He died in the third year after the establishment of the empire, and Aragorn personally presided over his funeral. Michaus’s majesty is dead on the bed, and it’s helpless...”

Speaking of this, Rams sighed and seemed to be unable to bear it. He looked at Maximos and hesitated.

"Let's say, Rams." Maximos sighed: "This secret thing is a scandal in the temple. But this disgraceful thing is always meaningless. It is said today. So much, then let's just say it all!"

Rams originally looked a bit sloppy, but at the moment it still has some sorrowful taste. He took a deep breath and slowly said: "Tulips, this thing, only a few genres in the church know the minds. And since then it has always been secret, and the outside world will never say it. Because this matter is really disgraceful."

"Well, why is it not glory?" Du Wei frowned: "Is it..." He whispered suddenly: "Is this Mithus killed?"

Rams was shocked and shook his head. "That's certainly not! Mithus's sire, although in his later years, lost control over the genre dispute, but he has a high reputation, especially among the lower-level believers. The fame is very high. It is very respectable. If anyone dares to harm him, then it is equal to the anger of millions of believers on the mainland! This kind of thing, no one will do the land! And... and... Although several genres have fought terribly, they have slandered the Pope, and they are not so dare.

Du Wei sneered, and said in his heart: Don't you dare? I can't see it...

Rams fixed his mind and continued: "In fact... It is said. Oh, it is also said. In the last few days of the death of Mithus, he actually lost power and was under house arrest by several genres. He couldn’t drive anyone, leaving only one old servant or loyal to him. The Yenis and the Moss factions sent people to stare at him and asked him to announce his will.

Du Wei’s eyebrows pick: “Don’t he ask him to be the successor to the Pope?”

"That's not, I want to come. Michas had already thought of this problem when he officially became a pope, so he had already announced the Pope's inheritance bill early when he still had power. The Pope himself appointed the candidate. The bill that was announced at that time was that the Presbyterians voted in unison, evaluated the merits of the archbishops of several parishes, and finally selected the best people. Only qualified to become heirs. In this way, avoid Afterwards, the position of the pope became a part of the ambitions. It is also a very correct practice to divide power."

"What is the role of Naxis's widow?" Du Wei did not understand.

Rams smiled bitterly: "The problem is here! At that time, the empire was founded less than two or three years ago, and Mithus was no longer able to do it. If at that time, the archbishops of several parishes were judged... Duke Adults, you think, the war of unity has only just ended. Several archdioces of the parishes said that everyone has made outstanding contributions in the war of unity! No one is particularly outstanding at this point. At that time, if purely comparative merits, then everyone is almost the same. Well, this time. The elders are assessed. Since it is impossible to use merits as a standard, then ... the emotional votes. It has become the most important!"

"Emotional ticket?"

"Yes." Rams sighed for a long time: "This is also a great contribution made by His Majesty to the temple! Before I said the battle between the Moss and the Yenis, the Montenegrin has always been Neutral state. And Mi Hughes is also making full use of the Neutral organization of the Montenegrin, using force to integrate internal contradictions. After he succeeded the pope, he made the largest and currently It seems that the very clever move is to set up the elders group! The majority of the members of the elders group are the Montenegrin faction! This neutral sect, and their teachings are biased towards the world, and they insist on their own Principles of penance, temperament suggestion and purity and cleanliness, while not afraid of external oppression.

They are the best candidates to act as arbitration venues and will not be tempted by power. Therefore, almost all of the local elders were Montenegro. The elders do not assume any power on weekdays, nor participate in the power and management in the temple. They only suffer from perseverance. In the name of the elders, it seems to be only a short honor, but as soon as the Pope inherits, the status of the 'elders' It will be important to be highlighted. Moreover, the strength of the Montenegrin faction is very strong. Whether it is the Moss or the Yenis, they dare not easily provoke or challenge them. At that time, the elders of the Montenegrin group, as the last voting rights holder of the Pope, could not make a final judgment after evaluating the performance of several archbishops. At that time, the emotional votes were very crucial... ..."

"You mean..." Du Wei frowned.

"The name of the genre." Rams said: "At that time, everyone thought that the position of Michus would determine the ownership of the final Pope. Although Mithus did not have the right to directly register the new Pope, After all, others are too big. The most important thing is that he himself has never publicly stated whether he belongs to the Yenis or the Moss. At that time, both sides believed that if this time, Mihus could admit that he was Which genre belongs to, then no doubt, it will become the last weight that leads to the last tilt!! Duke adults, you think, when the Yenis and Moss factions are equal, if at that time, Michos Stand up, just say one thing, he is actually a certain genre, then... because of his great prestige, all the elders will vote for the heir to the genre he said!"

"I understand, so at that time, they forced him to admit his own genre before Mihos's bed, right?"

Rams had a red face and closed his mouth, unable to speak.

Maximos spoke at this time: "Not bad... Duke, you said the facts at the time. This is indeed a big scandal! On the occasion of the great Pope, two genres The head, in order to compete for power, but before the bed of this great man, also intimidated him and bullied him... This kind of move is really shameful! Although I am a Moss, but to the Moss of that year This practice is also deeply shameful."

"The former things were done by former people, the ugly things that those guys did, and they didn't need future generations to take responsibility." Du Wei waved his hand and said, "I care about... then?"

"There was something happening that caused the internal division of the Temple of Light to last for a thousand years... and, the Temple of Light finally broke with the royal family! Since then, the two sides have been separated from each other, and the supreme battle between theocracy and the imperial power has lasted for a thousand years and has not been eliminated until today. On the contrary, it will become more and more fierce!"

Talking about Maximos, his face is helpless, on the old face, an inscrutable expression: "Duke of the Duke, the things after that are more secretive, do you really want to hear?"

Du Wei understands that this secret "story" wants to hear the words, but it has to pay a price.

However, he seems to be very relaxed: "I said at the beginning, if I don't finish it, I will not sleep at night. Bishop, now we are on a boat, you...say!"
