Wherever he goes, he kills all living creatures and turns them into undead.
Just as he was getting bigger and bigger with his invisible army of ribs, the Holy See received the blessing of the Lord of Holy Light, and its combat effectiveness jumped to a big level. After paying a heavy price, Rodrigo was finally annihilated.
In this war between mankind and the undead army, the top leaders of human countries fully demonstrated their pedantry, incompetence and greed.
Even as the undead besieged the city, the upper-class elites were still singing and dancing, and the people at the bottom were even so hungry that they had to eat dirt for a living.
At that time, the Holy See was clean and upright and well-organized, and indeed deserved the title of Holy.
They purify the souls of the dead, they help the poor and the weak, they provide the illiterate with the opportunity to read and write, and they provide effective treatment for the injured and sick.
All this is free, the only price is conversion.
For someone who already has nothing, this is no price at all.
A free lunch is the best, isn't it?
of course not.
Sitting on the top floor of the castle and looking at the chaotic Holy See camp, Matthew sighed in his heart, the free ones are the most expensive.
You only need to play free mobile games a few times to understand this truth.
But in this world, most people never figure it out in their lifetime.
The Holy See did not seem to charge any fees, but took away the most valuable things.
Human heart and faith.
This organization grew as more and more people became believers in the Lord of Light.
As they grew more powerful, gaining status as a legal religion or even the sole legal religion in more and more countries, they changed.
They have their own armed forces and they have clear political demands.They finally transformed from a progressive group representing the people at the bottom into another form of king.
The pope and bishops ride on the heads of the people at the bottom and dominate.
They were completely lost, forgetting who had lifted them to this position.
Decades passed, and the common people never got anything, but there were more cyclists around their necks.
That's the price of free.
Matthew sighed in his heart. Although he could see the entanglement of interests behind this, he could not change it.
The law of historical cycles is there.
It rises and falls, rises and falls, and never depends on human will.
In the world before time travel, 300 years was the end of the dynasty, because 300 years was enough time for land annexation to reach its limit.
The exploiters will not give up power, they will break the bones of the people at the bottom, suck out their marrow, and carry out the final madness.
The people at the bottom who couldn't bear it could only rise up.
If they succeeded, they would be the new rulers; if they failed, they would have done something spectacular.
There is nothing new under the sun, and the only lesson humans can learn from history is that humans learn nothing from history.
The world after time travel is actually no different from before time travel.
The only difference is probably that the strong people in this world are very strong, and the top strong people can destroy a country alone.
In this world view, in the eyes of the super powerful, the people at the bottom are no more than ants.
This is pretty much what the current Archbishop Cauchon thinks.
Seeing the Holy See team raising their camp and preparing to leave, Matthew's lips became more smiley.
He can't change the world, but he doesn't want to be changed by the world.
He has his own behavioral logic and does not want to mix with these dirty and dirty people.
Archbishop Cochon has already been included in Matthew's must-kill list.
At the moment when they broke camp, the two officially blocked each other and were enemies when they met again.
Seeing the ugly expression on Archbishop Cochon's face as if he had lost his parents, Matthew stood up from the leather sofa and snapped his fingers coolly.
"Surante, accompany me to see off the guests."
no response.
Matthew turned around and looked in a good mood.
Surante was silently watching the farce outside the window, his whole body enveloped in a layer of holy light.
She was so focused that she didn't hear Matthew's words at all.
It was clear that Surante was on the verge of a big break.
Whether it is breaking through to a high level or awakening to the purple level, it is a good thing.
He quietly exited the room, locked the door from the outside, released barrier magic to cover the entire room, and then hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
Archbishop Cochon is leaving.
Even though he had already walked through it once three years ago.
Three years ago, he left Rundebel arrogantly. Matthew repeatedly tried to persuade him but still could not keep the arrogant bishop.
Three years later, although he was promoted two levels and even became a candidate for the Pope, his departure was particularly embarrassing.
Around the team, there were many melon-eating people standing in twos and threes.
Although these guys don't talk on the surface, they are already happy behind the scenes.
Archbishop Cochon's face was as ugly as that of a dead man, and no one around him dared to speak to him.
A young priest had just flattered Archbishop Cauchon, but he said the wrong thing and was slapped half of his face off. He is still lying in the car, not knowing whether he is dead or alive.
In short, to touch Archbishop Cochon's troubles at this time is to court death.
No one would dare to do that.
"Archbishop, walk slowly!"
Just when the team was dead, the sound of horse hooves sounded from behind.Along with the sound of horse hooves, a high voice sounded.
A red horse galloped across the dust, and the person sitting on it was none other than Matthew, the culprit who drove Ke Xiong to half-death.
Unexpectedly, Matthew dared to come, and Archbishop Cochon was stunned.
He squinted his eyes, hiding his murderous intent.
Good boy, you can't stand it anymore and come to beg me after all.
Today's hatred cannot be solved by a casual apology.
Archbishop Couchon had a fierce look on his face and gritted his teeth as he thought.
First, Matthew had to kneel down and apologize.This is the basis for discussing subsequent conditions.
Secondly, Matthew had to pay substantial compensation and return the Great Basilica to the Holy See.
again......
In short, this little bastard must pay a sufficient price.
Seeing Matthew chasing after him on horseback, Archbishop Cochon felt a little better.
He instantly understood Matthew's operation.
Let's meditate in seclusion first, and let a few maids come out to show off Archbishop Cochon, to dampen the spirit of the Holy See.
When the Holy See was in a dilemma, he [happily] ended his retreat, walked out of the meditation room, and then tried his best to lower the price during negotiations.
What a cunning boy, what a clever calculation.
It's a pity that you met me, so all this is in vain.
Archbishop Cochon had a smile of control on his lips.He turned the horse's head and looked around, deliberately not looking in Matthew's direction.
"Who is calling my name?"
Seeing the old guy's funny performance, Matthew almost couldn't help laughing.Is this old guy probably thinking this is to save him?
Matthew did not speak, but held the reins to keep the horse steady. He smiled and said: "Archbishop Cochon doesn't have to pretend to be stupid. Didn't you want to find me before? I'm here now."
Cauchon snorted coldly, looking at Matthew with the indifference of a winner.
"Earl Matthew, you used to hide behind closed doors, but now you come to see me, what's the matter?"
Cochon knew he had won.
There are many ways to manipulate Matthew, so don’t rush this one.
He wanted to see what tricks this shameless boy had up his sleeves.
Matthew put away his riding crop and said with a smile, "It's already night now. It's very inconvenient for the Archbishop to travel late at night. I suggest you stay in my territory for one night before setting off tomorrow morning."
Cauchon: "..."
What is the difference between staying one night and leaving now and leaving now?Does he still have to worry about safety issues?
He said with a smile: "I appreciate Earl Matthew's kindness, but my team is all elite soldiers, and traveling at night is no different from traveling during the day. Do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing Caochon's resolute attitude, Matthew put on a very reluctant expression and tried to persuade him to stay again.
Archbishop Cochon saw that Matthew had no intention of compromising, so he naturally flatly refused.
He felt a little relieved when he saw Matthew turn over and dismount.
This guy finally couldn't hold it any longer.Very good. If you want me to calm down my anger, it depends on how you behave.
Matthew's performance was an eye-opener for him.Since Archbishop Cochon insisted on leaving, Matthew naturally couldn't stop him.
He took the water-skin and brown bread from the saddle and handed them to Cochon's entourage.
Just when everyone was confused and didn't know what this meant, Matthew solemnly said:
"Archbishop Cochon, you left here three years ago. At that time, I should have sent you off with the highest etiquette. Unfortunately, I didn't understand the traditional etiquette of the Holy See and made a mistake."
"Fortunately, you came back and gave me a chance to make up for my regrets."
"A piece of black bread and a bag of water to bid farewell to the distinguished guest."
The audience was silent.
There were some knowledgeable clergy who understood what Matthew was doing.
Farewell gift.
Back then, the Holy See still wanted to face shame when it was in the early stages of its career.
They preach, treat diseases, and teach people to read and write in a place. When they leave, there will always be simple people who give them money and food, but they don't take any money.
But the enthusiasm of the people was difficult to dismiss, so they accepted a bag of water and a loaf of black bread.
Qingshui represents the pure and clear style of the Holy See.
Brown bread represents that they only need basic necessities.
This approach, which did nothing wrong but brought benefits to everyone, soon won the Holy See a high reputation.
The local lords or common people's representatives delivered water and black bread on the roadside, which represented recognition and gratitude to the Holy See and was the highest etiquette at the time.
This ritual continued for many years, and eventually more and more clergy looked down upon the bread.As a result, some people gave more food and even money in addition to black bread, causing this ritual to gradually change.
After the annihilation of Rodrigo, the ambition of the Holy See continued to expand with its strength, and it did not care about this bag of water and bread at all. This ritual only existed in the classics.
They chose to charge the faith tax directly to believers.
In Matthew's view, the Vatican is throwing away not only water and bread, but also human hearts.
From the moment it throws away the black bread, the Holy See no longer represents the fundamental interests of the ordinary people and the most advanced ideas.
They became part of the rulers.
Matthew used this retro etiquette to send him off. If it were a cleric hundreds of years ago, he would definitely have accepted it happily, but now Archbishop Cochon only felt that he had been greatly insulted.
Not only was he insulted, but his entourage was outraged.
What does it mean?
Is it a mockery that we only deserve to eat black bread?
An accompanying priest in white yelled angrily:
