This Paladin is so despicable!

In front of the city gate, Wright and Emily were radiating white holy light.

Seeing this, the guard guarding the gate skipped the two of them and began to check the next person who wanted to enter the city.

Without any hesitation, Wright walked into the city with a baffled look on his face.

After walking some distance, Emily still looked back with disbelief on her face.

"You just came in like this? The security guards here searched so strictly. Why can't they just not see the two of us?"

"Because we have the Holy Light, of course they won't stop us."

Emily covered her forehead and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no! Hasn't this country been removed from the ranks of the Holy Kingdom by the Holy Light Church?

Then all privileges for the clergy of the Holy Light Church should be canceled in the country!

Why, it feels like I have greater privileges and a higher status! "

Wright sneered: "Recently, the First Empire has been having a hard time.

Among all the Holy Kingdoms, the people of the First Empire were the least satisfied with the Holy Light Church.

This gave many people the misconception that people did not like the Holy Light Church.

In fact, for a 100-point test paper, if everyone gets a perfect score, even if you get a 99-point score, you will still be in last place.

Although the actual situation may not be so exaggerated, it is almost the same.

The First Empire's people's satisfaction with the Church of Holy Light was the lowest among all countries, but objectively speaking, it was still far above the passing mark.

Therefore, when the First Empire was kicked out of the sequence of holy vassals, the people's reaction was still great.

The most important thing is that this time the Holy Light Church gave enough time and face.

But the royal family still pushed back and could not give a convincing answer.

Therefore, although they were kicked out of the Holy Subject Kingdom sequence, most people in the First Empire believed that this was the result of the incompetent royal family's own consequences!

At this time, the elves on the border suddenly attacked and defeated the empire's garrison.

The people of the empire put the blame on the royal family.

In this environment, both the people and noble officials tried their best to distance themselves from the royal family in private and showed that they were still extremely loyal to the Holy Light.

Even in order to express their position, officials at all levels of the empire were respectful and open to the clergy of the Holy Light Religion. "

Emily suddenly realized: "No wonder, they don't dare to disobey the royal order, but they don't want to embarrass us two suspicious people who are obviously members of the Holy Light Church.

Therefore, pretending to see nothing is the best option.

But is this really good? "

"Of course it's not good!"

Wright raised his eyebrows: "Do you think there are no bad people in the Holy Light Church? The clergy are doing evil, and they are even more hateful than the local nobles.

Why did the First Empire have the lowest public satisfaction all year round? It is because of the clergy of the Holy Light Church in this country that there is a big problem.

Therefore, after the Holy Advent Ceremony ended, I sent people from the Sinful Light Faction here to secretly investigate the clergy who violated the rules.

Only by eliminating all these guys can the Holy Light Church's reputation among the people be slowly reversed.

To be honest, if the people of the First Empire were not satisfied with the Holy Light Church all the time, the royal family would not have the guts to break up with the Holy Light Church. "

"That's right, all the black sheep must be killed."

Emily geared up: "Now due to special reasons, the empire is more lenient and flattering to the clergy of the Holy Light Church.

In this case, those clerics who like to do evil must be very happy.

If the restraining force is reduced again, they will definitely become distracted and even get worse. "

Wright snapped his fingers and looked at Emily approvingly: "Yes, you are right. Okay, Emily, you have learned to answer quickly.

When the elves went to war with the First Empire, some of these factors were taken into consideration.

After all, once a war breaks out, the world will be in chaos, and some demons and monsters like to fish in troubled waters and make trouble.

I mixed the water for them and waited for them to emerge.

This kind of thing will never be tolerated, and it will happen in seconds! "

"But... are the Sin Light Sect reliable? I remember that their strength is not high.

Even if they get the inferior version of your holy weapon, Sin Light, it will probably be difficult for them to compete with some of the higher-ups of the Holy Light Church.

Although the clergy within the First Empire were not comparable to those in the Holy Capital, they were still a first-rate power.

Their fighting power cannot be underestimated.

Don't fail to subdue the opponent when the time comes, and end up in danger yourself. "

"To outsiders, their strength is really not worth mentioning. But to the clergy within the Holy Light Church, they are very targeted."

Wright spread his hands, and a ball of light twisted and deformed in his palm.

"This is the power of vows, or the power of oaths. They swear an oath and act in accordance with it, so they gain specific abilities."

Emily suddenly realized: "Sinlight's oath, right? Indeed... Then they called us this time..."

"Of course, they encountered interference from outside parties."

"ah?"

Emily took two quick steps and looked at Wright: "Didn't it mean that everyone in the First Empire is in danger now and dare not offend members of the Holy Light Church?

Although Sin Light has a special mission, he is also a member of the Holy Light Church.

Anyone else dare to offend them? "

"Yes, such as...the empire itself."

Emily froze in place, and it wasn't until Wright was far away that she recovered and quickly followed him.

"empire?"

"yes."

"Why?"

"Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit."

Wright spread his hands: "For the clergy in these empires, who is their community of interests?

They did evil things and ruined the reputation of the Holy Light Religion. This was precisely beneficial to the First Empire in strengthening its royal status.

After all, royal power and religious power are in potential competition.

Once the authority of the religious authority is asserted, the people will naturally move closer to the royal authority.

This is the simplest thing. "

Emily covered her mouth in surprise: "You mean, the corruption of the religious authority was deliberately caused by the royal power?"

"Then you look too high on those clergy who break laws and disciplines. This is the nature of these guys, they are just the royal power pushing things along.

However, it is not impossible for you to think so.

After all, deliberate connivance full of malice is ultimately unacceptable.

Oh, here we are. "

Wright took Emily to stop in front of a solemn church, looking at the splendid decoration and majestic buildings.

This Holy Light Church is even more luxurious and magnificent than most churches in the Holy City.

But this place is just an ordinary city in the First Empire.

"Look, who said that the First Empire was not good to the Holy Light Church?"

Wright joked as he started to walk up the steps of the church. At this moment, the old man selling fruit on the side suddenly stopped him.

"Young man! Young man! Come here, come here."

Wright and Emily looked at each other, then turned and came to the fruit stand.

"Old man, we don't want to buy fruit for the time being."

"Oh no."

The old man seemed very nervous. He deliberately lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

"You two, do you want to go to the church to pray?"

"Yes, we two are devout believers in the Holy Light."

"Listen to the old man, don't go here. There is a church in the northwest corner of the city. You can go there to pray."

Emily was very surprised: "Northwest corner? Another church? Old man, we have already reached the door, why bother to go to another church far away?"

The old man sighed: "You two, you two are from out of town, right?

Let me tell you, this church is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Just praying here once will cost one hundred silver drams, which is very expensive!

Moreover, when you enter this church, they will use all kinds of rhetoric to coerce and induce you to donate money and pay fees.

If you don’t spend a few hundred silver drams, you won’t be able to get out!

Go to the one in the northwest corner, it only costs one copper peso. "

Wright reached out and picked up an apple on the stall: "Old man, would you weigh some apples for me?"

"Ah? You want to buy apples? OK, OK, how many do you want?"

"You can decorate it however you want."

Wright took out a few silver delangs and said, "Just think of it as a thank you gift for saving us."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Your few silver delangs are enough to buy my cart of fruit."

"Don't worry, don't worry. We are new to this place and really don't know much about it. I just want to ask you about it."

Wright looked at the magnificent Holy Light Church: "Has this church always been like this?"

"Well, in fact, this church was quite good at first. The clergy here often give free sermons and treatment for everyone, and everyone can go inside and pray casually.

But in the past ten years, the clergy here have become more and more excessive. Instead of praying to the Goddess of Holy Light every day, they just think about how to make money from believers.

This church is getting bigger and more beautiful as it gets built, but it also charges more money, and the reasons are various.

They also said that they wanted to build this church into the first church in the empire. We must build this city into a small holy capital of the empire!

Listen, what a blasphemous statement this is?

Those clergy who were unwilling to join their ranks left here one after another and went to the northwest corner to build a new chapel. "

"If they do this, no one will care?"

"Haha, who dares to care about the affairs of the Holy Light Church's clergy? These clergymen and the city lord work together to protect each other. They are neither afraid of the empire's review nor the Holy Light Church's investigation.

They go on and on, they have the power, money and status, while others can only hide and hide. "

The old man shook his head as he said it again. He picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the two reddest and largest apples on the stall clean, and handed them to Wright and Emily.

“Over the years, many devout believers have wanted to sanction them, but unfortunately they have failed.

However, since the Holy City eliminated us from the Holy Subject Kingdom order, these guys who usually show off their power have all been huddled inside.

Hum, I feel like the days when they can be arrogant are not long gone. "

Emily took a bite of the big apple, which was sour, sweet, delicious and juicy.

"Old man, why do you say that?"

The old man chuckled: "You may think that I am old and my eyes and ears are not working well, but I understand it in my heart.

The Holy City announced that it would deprive the Empire of its title of Holy Subject State. Before that, it did not say hello to any Holy Light Church within the Empire.

After being stripped of their titles, there was no intention of welcoming these priests back.

It was exactly like cutting them off directly to the empire.

In other words, the Holy Light Church is actually unwilling to admit that these worms in our empire are clergy of the Holy Light Church.

Not only did they deprive the empire of its Holy Subject title, they also deprived these domestic churches of their legitimacy.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t regard them as one of my own.

right?

If they really regarded them as one of their own, the Holy Light Church would definitely not declare the title of the Holy Kingdom so directly?

Wouldn't that put the domestic clergy in a very embarrassing position?

For their safety, we have to pick them up immediately after the announcement, right? "

Wright gave a thumbs up: "Old sir, that's great. You really understand."

The old man selling fruit was very happy after being praised, and he took some other fruits and stuffed them into the paper bag.

"You guys, eat the fruit and go to the church in the northwest."

Wright reached out and took the oil paper bag filled with fruits: "Old sir, thank you. However, we have to go to this church today."

The old man trembled all over and looked a little ugly: "Do you have any acquaintances here?"

Wright laughed: "Don't be afraid, I... am actually a priest. However, I am a priest from the Holy City.

At this point, we are dedicated to investigating and punishing these scum of priests who have corrupted the glory of the Goddess of Holy Light.

In the name of the goddess, I will give you the blessing of light as a reward for your honesty, kindness, and hatred of evil. "

Milky white holy light bloomed from Wright's fingertips and enveloped the old man's body.

After the light dissipated, the old man looked obviously much better.

"You! Are you really sent by the goddess to deal with these bastards?"

"Yes!"

Wright reached out and held the old man's hand, speaking in a kind and gentle tone.

"I'm sorry that we are late and have made you feel wronged. But please believe that the goddess has never thought of giving up any devout believer.

The Law of Light will give these guilty people the punishment they deserve! "

The old man was so excited that he raised his hands and sang loudly: "Praise the Holy Light! Praise the Goddess!"

Some other passers-by cast doubtful glances, but Wright ignored them. Instead, holding the fruit, he led Emily up the steps to the door of the cathedral.

Bang bang bang...

After a rhythmic knock on the door, impatient questions came from the church.

"Who?"

"Hello, we are a community service provider. Could you please open the door?"

"What community? What services? What warmth?"

A priest in the church opened the door with a bored look on his face and glared at Wright angrily.

"Who are you? Dare to talk nonsense in front of the Holy Light Church?"

Wright immediately summoned his Holy Shield and Embrace of the Goddess and swatted it directly.

There was only a bang, and the huge door panel was smashed to pieces. The priest who opened the door flew out, hit the ground hard, and passed out.

Wright stood in front of the door, holding the holy shield and asked enthusiastically and concernedly.

"How is it? Is it warm enough?"
