Law of the Devil

Chapter 404 [Tit-for-tat (top)]

In fact, in the three major festivals on the mainland of Roland: the summer festival, the new year, and the three festivals of the Qingfeng Festival, the church is rarely intervened. The only festival with the participation of the church is the "New Year". According to tradition, during the celebration of the New Year, the Pope will personally preside over a prayer ceremony.

As for the summer festival and the Qingfeng Festival, in general, the church will not participate. There is a traditional reason for this: According to the inside of the church, especially the Yenis, who are more fanatical in religious tendencies, it has always been considered that the two festivals, the Summer Festival and the Qingfeng Festival, are religiously “illegal”!

For the fanatics, they believe that since the world was created by the goddess, as a festival to celebrate the harvest or the summer festival, the object of gratitude should be the goddess! Not grateful for what world.

Especially for the Qingfeng Festival, in history, the Yenis sent several motions to ban the festival. Although they all failed, there is no doubt that this represents the church's attitude towards the festival.

For example, the traditional project in the Qingfeng Festival: In order to appreciate the harvest in the past year, people have to sing and dance around a burning pillar of fire. They have been fiercely opposed by the Yenis, because the habit of this celebration is from the Roland Empire. It was passed down before it was established. This act of dancing against the burning pillar of fire is believed to have been circulated in a religious branch of a fire worship in the era of the various sects before the reunification of the mainland.

Since the reunification of the mainland, the Church of the Goddess of Light has been designated as the state religion and the only legal religion, then the worship of any other situation should be strictly banned!

but. The Qingfeng Festival was preserved. Because, for the vast majority of farmers, perhaps they are also willing to believe in the goddess, but the annual harvest of crops is a matter of life and death. If you can’t even eat enough, who cares? Take care of other things?

Moreover, as for the Yenisi, the ceremonies of the “Fly around the Fire Column” of the Qingfeng Festival are passed down to a certain fire worship that has disappeared... but they cannot provide strong evidence! Do I like to dance around the pillar of fire? Then when people go out in the wild, there are people who like to sing and drink! Are you worshipping fire?

The majority of the people value the bumper harvest of the crops and the result of the celebration of the festival. I have been greatly resisted and I am finally lost.

However, at this festival celebration, the church never attended the show to express its dissatisfaction silently in this way.

Therefore, at the dinner of the Qingfeng Festival today, the Pope Paul XVI of the temple suddenly came. This thing that has never happened in hundreds of years immediately shocked many people, of course. There are also some people with a keen sense of smell, guessing what might be happening...

In the ceremony, the main hall door opened, Pope Paul XVI, wearing a white robe with gold rims. He held a scepter in his hand and wore the crown of the pope inside the outer circle, and slowly walked in. And behind him, followed by two sacred knights with silver scorn. The badges on the chest are all eight strong.

When the spiritual leader on the mainland of Roland walked in, the original cheerful music immediately came to an abrupt end, and then the dancers who danced also stopped the dance steps and retreated to the two sides, giving way to the middle passage, along with the pope. Step by step, people came on and the people on both sides bowed and bowed. Paying high tribute to the spiritual leader of the continent.

Chen Huangzi and Du Weifei quickly exchanged a look, and both of them had a hint of worry in their eyes, but Chen Huangzi quickly stood up and walked down the steps, then greeted Paul XVI and smiled. , faintly said: "Godfather, today is the Qingfeng Festival. Such a day. I really did not expect you to attend."

I heard that Chen Huangzi called himself a "godfather", and there was a glimpse of a smile on the face of Paul XVI's old face. He deliberately raised his voice and responded: "My child, because the clergy have to eat."

"My child" is called this way, so that Chen’s eyes flashed a hint of haze, but he instantly concealed the past, his face was full of no flaws, and he reached out and helped the Pope to go with the Pope. The steps.

And "Aug. 6 of His Majesty Augustine" also stood up and had to say that the tailor who had been performing perfect tonight, now finally has some cramped look.

After all, I didn’t expect this kind of scene to happen beforehand!

The old emperor's face was obviously not very good-looking, but under Du Wei's eyes, he quickly quieted down, coughed, and whispered with a slightly hoarse voice: "Welcome, kneel."

"That is my honor, Your Majesty." The Pope smiled lightly.

Soon, the court servants moved in a new seat, placed next to the emperor's throne, a little bit lower. This is also a tradition. In public, the seats of the emperor and the pope are generally juxtaposed. The only difference is in who is the "home", today is in the palace, the pope is a guest, so his seat can only be a little bit below the emperor's slightly lower.

The two holy knights brought by the Pope are also very low in status. In fact, the seats of the two are placed under Du Wei, because the identity of these two people is the incumbent Grand Knight of the Holy Knights!

After all, after the sacred knights passed the Hussein rebellion, there were no nine-level knights. They only relied on the eight-level knights to fill the facade, and they looked slightly shabby.

Chen Huangzi was sitting next to the Pope. He raised his hand and took a picture, the music re-sounded, and the following guests continued to dance.

Subsequently, the prince of Chen and his whispers and the Pope chilled a few words that were not salty or not, the only role was to attract the attention of the Pope, so that he did not have the opportunity to speak with the old emperor.

And Chen Huangzi’s mind quickly turned his mind: At this time, the Pope suddenly appeared, what is the intention? !

Sure enough, after a few words of chilling, Paul XVI quickly turned the subject to Augustine VI. He looked at the old emperor and smiled. "His Majesty, I heard that you had a slight discomfort a few days ago?"

The old emperor hesitated, slowly nodded, vaguely said: "There is nothing."

"Oh, that's good." Paul XVI smiled a little: "However, you are the monarch of the empire, and the physical health is related to the national movement of the empire. There are some powerful priests in our church. The gods of the light system Should have some help for your body... Do you want to send two senior pastors to the palace tomorrow to give you..."

"No need." Chen Huangzi suddenly said with a smile: "My father's body has recovered, so you don't have to bother the priest in the temple. And..."

At this time, Chen Huangzi deliberately glanced behind him behind him, sitting in a court magician old man wearing a red mage robes.

This old guy probably became the head of the court magician after the coup d'état. It is naturally the confidant of the emperor, and looks like he is about sixty years old. Faintly said: "The Pope, our court mages, naturally have people who are good at healing magic. His health problems have always been the responsibility of us and the court doctors, I am afraid there is no need to worry about the church."

This is a hard state. Not welcome.

However, the Pope did not care. He just smiled. Whether it was the magician of the magic union or the court magician, he always had some disdain for the attitude of the church. Because the magician thinks: this world. Only the magician is the closest to the gods profession! As for the church...oh, that’s just a bunch of **** sticks!

"I just express my concern." The Pope's temper returned very well, and then suddenly began to chill with the old emperor.

Among the melodious music, the top leaders of the two empires, so whispered, talking about some nonsense "nonsense", nothing more than today's good weather, this year's harvest is good! Your look is good. Etc., etc……

As the two said a few more words, the next emperor and Du Wei were obviously a little nervous. Because the tailor Grum could still reluctantly answer two sentences at the beginning, but at the end, there have been some foreheads to see Khan, clearly when facing the mainland spiritual leader, the tailor is too nervous.

The middle emperor symbolically inserted a few words, but the old pope seemed to deliberately want to talk to the emperor. Without two sentences, he deliberately transferred the topic back to the old emperor.

at this time. There is another very tricky question:

Originally in accordance with the plan. In the third dance, the old emperor can announce the first exit.

But now. The Pope’s sudden arrival, “The Emperor’s Majesty” is not good to go!

After all, as the head of the Temple of Light, the spiritual leader of the mainland, the Pope is squatting down, and a heavyweight guest is sitting in front of you. You are the master, how do you mean to flash? In love, Augustine VI can't go! Can only sit here with you!

Finally, Du Wei spoke up.

The Duke of Tulips suddenly stood up from his seat and took two steps. Looking at Paul XVI, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I can't see you for a long time."

Paul XVI narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Wei's eyes. He smiled and said: "Tulip Dagong... Ah, I was wrong. It should be my Archbishop of the Northwest Territory. I heard that under your leadership, Northwest. The parish is very prosperous now."

Du Wei’s heart stunned and sneaked an old fox. This statement is to remind Du Wei: You still hang a northwestern bishop's identity, count it, my subordinate!

Although Du Wei does not care about the identity of the **** subordinates, but have to admit that this kind of words thrown over, it is easy to make their momentum suddenly weaker.

There was a smile on his face, but his heart was dark for a few times before he continued: "Take your blessing, the development of the northwestern parish is not bad. But some time ago, I was still very self-blaming. After all, in my jurisdiction, some people pretend to be the identity of the Holy Knights to swindle and swindle... Well, fortunately, I was all arrested and executed, but after all, my management of the northwestern parish is not good, and my heart is really embarrassing."

Said, Du Wei looked at Paul XVI with a sincere and sincere look and a pure forty-five degree angle: "Your Majesty! I decided that after returning to the Imperial Capital, I must go to the temple and face the goddess of light. Like a good remorse, pray that the goddess can forgive my sins... Please be sure to promise me!"

Paul XVI listened, and the muscles in the corner of his eyes trembled in an imperceptible manner, biting his teeth in the dark...

Hundreds of people! That is the reserve member of hundreds of the most elite angelic corps! I was slaughtered by the guy in front of me! !

However, after all, **** is old and spicy. The Pope took a deep breath and his voice became more and more kind: "Du Wei, my deputy Rudolph, please don't worry about it! This kind of thing is often impossible. Avoid it. Moreover, I think that you have done a good job in this matter. I have ordered that your behavior be rewarded. I think if the bishops of the various parishes in the mainland can do their best for you, then our church. It will definitely be more prosperous."

After a pause, the Pope suddenly turned his head: "I heard that the northwestern region is not stable. Because of the remote location, there are often people like 'the wanted criminals' who fled there. Hehe...you not only It is the bishop of the church, and the duke of the empire, the lord of the northwest, and the responsibility of maintaining local tranquility is also on your body, but it is hard for you."

Du Wei’s “嘿嘿” laughed twice and looked at the old fox in front of him. He couldn’t help but think: What? If you were not the one who saved your life, you are now sleeping in the coffin! Have a chance to sit on this throne and find me trouble! Humph!

At this time, Paul XVI had already turned his head. After saying a few words with Du Wei, his heart was angry and he did not dare to say anything to Du Weiduo. For fear that he would continue to talk about it, he could not control his heart. The fire is gone.

He looked at His Majesty Augustine VI and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I suddenly came here today, there is one thing I want to ask you."
