The Original Vampire
Chapter 341: Secrets of the Church (Part 2)
The **** is dead?
Colin's eyes widened, and the storm surged in his heart.
Of course he knew what this sentence meant in this extraordinary world, and finally understood why the Black Emperor had to die.
Even after his death, all records about him were deliberately destroyed, as if someone desperately wanted to erase his existence from history!
It turned out to be because of such a rebellious remark.
If the church allows the Black Emperor’s words to spread widely in the Glorious Empire, it is conceivable that this will cause a great blow to the belief system of mankind.
Therefore, the judge-the Duke of St. Theon appeared.
Colin's right hand couldn't help supporting the Judgment Blade on his waist, feeling mixed in his heart.
The history that puzzled him at the beginning has finally lifted the veil of mystery.
"So, Lord of Radiance, is it really dead?" Colin couldn't help asking.
Adjani shook her head and said, "I don't know. No one knows."
This is indeed true. How can mortals speculate about the life and death of gods?
It just doesn't collect the power of faith, which doesn't mean that the Lord of Radiance is really dead.
Perhaps, He just doesn't need the power of faith.
Of course, this guess seems more likely to cause panic...
The protection of the Lord of Radiance to mankind is actually obtained by mankind's service with the power of faith.
If he doesn't need the power of faith, does that also mean that he no longer needs humans and no longer protects humans?
In any case, once the believers are informed of the secrets under the church, the foundation of the Glorious Church's existence will be shaky.
"Should many people know this secret?" Colin asked again.
"Yes. The high-ranking priests above the bishop know this secret, and the core figures of the five paladin families also know it."
"The Paladin family knows this secret because of the Black Emperor, right?"
"Yes." Adjani nodded, "Moreover, the reason why he was killed is because he called the five princes to make this secret public!"
Colin sighed and felt that the Black Emperor had indeed died unjustly.
This kind of behavior is not only digging the foundation of the church, but also harming the fundamental interests of the nobles.
You know, the Glory Church and the imperial nobles are interdependent. Don't look at them now fighting for power and profit, but both sides tacitly control the intensity of the struggle within a certain range, and it won't really make it impossible to deal with it. .
After all, if the church really collapses, who will baptize the nobles?
How can a knight be born without being baptized?
Without knights, why would nobles rule this empire?
Why is it against the alien races who are eyeing everywhere?
Therefore, even if the nobles knew this secret, they would never disclose it to the public.
Therefore, even if the royal family has torn their faces with the church, they will never use this kind of method that hurts both sides.
Except for the black emperor who doesn't know what to think...
"So, you tell me this secret now because I have become the core figure of the Saint Hild family in your eyes?"
Adjani nodded, confirming Colin's judgment: "The core figures of the five paladin families all know this secret, and I will also inform the Lord Duke of the North."
But immediately, she changed the conversation and said: "However, I tell you this secret, there is another reason."
Colin's eyes narrowed, knowing that this should be the real purpose of Ajani's coming here, and said, "What's the reason?"
Adjani's eyes flowed, her whole body exuded a holy brilliance, but what she said was blasphemous: "I want to make this secret public."
"What?" Colin thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Ajani with surprise.
Ajani's eyes were firm, and she repeated what she said just now.
"Are you crazy?" Colin couldn't help exclaiming.
Of course, Colin's shock did not come from his sincere faith and reverence for the Lord of Radiance, but because he could not understand Ajani's motives for doing so.
As the Archbishop of the Northern Territory, the Glory Church is the foundation of Adjani's body. What good is it for her to make this secret public and trigger a crisis of faith?
Not to mention the scourge that will surely lead to death.
The last person who wanted to do this, but the imperial emperor, still had a miserable end. Does Ajani feel that she can be spared?
As long as she dares to do this, she will definitely become the enemy of the entire glorious empire. Whether it is the church or the nobles, she will desperately want to kill her.
"Why are you doing this?" Colin asked in a deep voice.
"Because the believers of our lord have the right to know the truth." Ajani said lightly, giving a reason that Colin didn't know how to evaluate.
Seeing Colin questioning her face, Adjani's expression remained unchanged, and she explained:
"Regardless of why our lord no longer receives the power of faith, neither the church nor the nobles have the right to conceal this truth.
However, faith should not be based on deception!
I understand that they are worried that this truth will cause panic and even a crisis of faith, but if some people's faith is shaken by this, they are not worthy to become believers of our Lord.
What's more, is this a test of our Lord?
If this is the case, then our current response will surely disappoint him. "
Listening to Ajiani's righteous explanation, Ke Lin didn't know what to say for a while.
He didn't know if the Northern Archbishop was really so pious and could not tolerate his beliefs being desecrated, or just found a high-sounding excuse to cover up her truly ulterior motives.
Colin squinted his eyes, and his tone became a little cold: "Then, Your Excellency, why do you think I will support your idea? As a believer of our lord, a knight in the north, and a viscount of the empire, I should stop it. Are you doing such a foolish thing?"
"Because, I believe in the guidance of the Holy Light." Ajani stared at Colin's eyes and gave him an answer that made him a little speechless.
"Guide of the Holy Light?"
"Yes, your affinity for the Holy Light is something I have never seen before. I believe that this is the guide of our lord. You, a pious knight like you, will never tolerate the church's continuing to deceive our lord like this. believer."
Colin was silent.
He remembered that Adjani did say something like this when he was in Winter City, and Pope Gregory said something similar to Colin when he was in Dragon City.
Could it be that he is really "destined"?
Of course, this kind of illusory thing obviously can't win Colin's trust.
"Sometimes, white lies are more precious than cruel truths." Colin said blankly.
He didn't want to be an ally of this crazy Northern Archbishop, what the other party wanted to do, in Colin's eyes, was almost looking for death.
"Goodwill?" A sneer appeared on Adjani's pretty face, "So did you act in good faith at the Lord Duke's baptism ceremony?"
Colin's eyes narrowed, but he was not too surprised.
Adjani said that she had met Vera on the way to Swan City before. From her perspective as the archbishop, it is not unusual to see the hands and feet the Pope did on Vera.
Seeing Colin's face changed~www.readwn.com~, Adjani was overjoyed, and she hurriedly continued to instigate: "In fact, the church leaders have long been corrupted and degenerate, and they have long forgotten their original intention and mission.
Although many people desperately slandered the Black Emperor and tried every means to erase his traces, in fact, they were already affected by his wild words, faintly felt that the Lord of Radiance was really gone, at least they had cut off contact with this world.
When there was no scrutiny gaze above their heads, they also began to become unscrupulous.
The original pure belief has long been tainted by corrosion, and the struggle for power has become their only goal and pursuit.
They keep saying that it is for the Lord of Glory, but in fact, it is only for their own interests and status.
Viscount Angele, do you think such a church is really suitable for continuing to dominate the spiritual world of mankind? "
Colin stared into Adjani’s eyes, and somehow suddenly thought of another woman——
Queen Midella.
