Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 354: Conflict (Part 3)

As the church's latest strategic center, the Kingdom of Holm has gathered four legends and seven or eight golden knights, which are much stronger than the parishes of the Duchy of Viorit, which traditionally oppose the church in the north, so even if they are stationed in rotation Retreat, also with three cardinals.

Hearing a night watchman knock on the door with the prescribed signal, the three cardinals looked up at the same time, but one of them had already got up when he looked up, and walked towards the door.

"Is it information from within the Magic Council?" The cardinal didn't have any excess fat on his face, and his blue eyes seemed pure, but they were so deep that they couldn't see the bottom.

The night watchman took out a letter and saluted respectfully: "Yes, Lord Andrade."

After receiving the sealed letter, Andrade drew a cross on his chest: "The Lord will bless you."

"Only the truth lasts forever!" The night watchman replied solemnly, and turned away.

"Andrade, what level of intelligence is it about? Do you need to report it to His Excellency the Cardinal?" Another cardinal asked with concern.

When Andrade heard this, he looked at the back of the envelope, where there were key words of intelligence written in secret - after the previous incidents, the church has asked spies to briefly write the key words of information on the back of the envelope when delivering information , if it involves shaking the teachings and theological theories, it must be noted so that the cardinals and cardinals can be mentally prepared before reading the information, lest even the leader of the ascetic monks, Varenhill, be shocked and injured like last time .

"Holy Spirit Level, New Particles, Shaking, Atomism."

Four key words caught Andrade's deep eyes.

The first is the level of information, indicating that it is the third level of important information that is inferior to the archangel level and the angel level. It cannot be viewed privately and must be submitted to the cardinal immediately.

Andrade's dark blue eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied calmly: "Pious disciple level, regular information from the Magic Council."

"After you read it, make a record and distribute it to the bishops." Another cardinal never suspected that Andrade would lie about this kind of thing.

If a cardinal's beliefs are no longer pious and he joins the magic council, what awaits him is the devouring of the Holy Light, and there is no other way.

In the retreat room, the three desks faced each other in a triangle shape, so after Andrade sat in his seat, he was not worried about the prying eyes of other cardinals. He looked at the letter in his hand like reading ordinary information, and then read the Wrote: "In the Magic Council, due to the contradiction between the periodic law of elements and atomic theory, many high-level arcanists began to reflect and discuss atomic theory, but no valuable results have been produced for the time being. It belongs to the information that needs to be tracked for follow-up development."

After a period of time, information came in from time to time, and the three cardinals each read a part of it, put it away by category, and recorded the general content of the information.

When it was close to ten o'clock, a bishop who was in charge of distributing information knocked on the door and took away the stacks of rubbing information placed on the upper left of each cardinal's desk. convey.

The bishop, carrying a thick pile of information, came to the room of the magical circle dedicated to rubbing documents, and started rubbing according to the number of people at different levels.

Due to the large amount of information, he didn't read it carefully as usual, and planned to wait until it was distributed before looking at the ones that belonged to him.

At 10:30, pieces of information were delivered to different places by different people.

In the relatively calm retreat room, the three cardinals exchanged "reading records" to grasp information, and began to summarize them, preparing to submit them to Cardinal Philibel and the giant of the tribunal Baha'u'llah at 11:30 Waiting for your Excellency.

"The Magic Council has begun to doubt the atom theory? Does the Pope have to hurry up and revise the content of theology?" A cardinal smiled sarcastically.

Andrade narrowed his eyes, his eyes were deep, and he smiled without saying a word.

The "Holy Book" is doctrine, the truth spoken by the gods, and the Gospel to teach believers, while theology is the study and theory of the "Holy Book", including the improvement of divine arts, in-depth interpretation of doctrines, and various Discussions of such inexplicable issues are teaching materials for pastors, and the two are not equivalent. The former can be full of metaphysical content and do not care about specifics, while the latter must have detailed explanations and demonstrations.

…………

Abidal is the bishop in charge of the monastery, and he worships the Pope's improved theology, because he knows very well that without these improvements, with his talent and understanding of the doctrine, it would be difficult for him to accept the Pope's theology in his thirties. Become a bishop of the fifth rank, in charge of the largest monastery in the entire diocese.

"This is the Lord's gift to us devout believers, and it is the truth expounded by the spokesperson of the gods under the crown." Abidal said similar prayers of gratitude every day, "greed and weakness will blind our hearts, let us Forget about thanking the Lord for His gifts... Gratitude is the most beautiful morality of human beings. I hope your ways will be practiced on the earth, just like walking in your country..."

At the end of the prayer, Abidal drew a cross on his chest and whispered: "Only the truth lasts forever!"

Opening his eyes, Abidal saw that the priest who served him was waiting at the door with some information, so he nodded to indicate that he could come in.

"What important information is there today?" Abidal took the document and asked casually.

The young pastor replied respectfully: "My lord, it's just some routine information."

"En." Abidal nodded slightly and began to read. This is the normal world, and it is impossible for important information to appear frequently.

Since it was routine information, Abidal read it very quickly, and it didn't take long before he saw the fourth-to-last one.

He usually teaches theology seriously and has a strict attitude. He often scares the trainee pastor into a state of anxiety, secretly calling him a "devil angel". It's like falling into hell and finding yourself transformed into the most evil and terrifying devil duke.

"About one in two thousand..." Abidal seemed to make a hoarse and low voice from his chest.

"Has the sanctity of the atom... the foundation of theology... been destroyed by the hand of the Lord?"

The young pastor did not dare to leave after delivering the information, because he had to wait for Bishop Abidal to read the information and give him instructions.

After waiting quietly for a while, he suddenly felt that the whole room became hot and dignified, and heard an inaudible voice from Bishop Abidal.

The panic-stricken young priest no longer cared about etiquette and dignity, and looked directly at Abidal's face.

Then, he saw a shocking scene that he will never forget:

Great fear, anger, and bewilderment remained on Bishop Abidal's livid face. Immediately afterwards, a pure and holy light burst out from his body uncontrollably, swallowing that frozen strange expression.

A little bit of light splashed, and the young pastor was completely stunned.

Under the fierce sunlight at noon, this pure holy light seemed to be tinged with a little golden red.

…………

In the Diocese of Holm, several bishops who believed in theology were devoured by the holy light under the violent impact-this was the information distributed by the church after verification, and they subconsciously did not doubt the authenticity of the experiment.

In addition, although more than 20 bishops survived, they had a strong distrust of theology and doctrine, and it was difficult to be promoted to cardinals in the future.

…………

At noon, inside the Glorious Cathedral.

When Philibel was preparing to pray according to his own habits, the sound of the cardinal's chaotic and flustered steps came from outside the door.

"What happened?" Philibel, a priest of the Holy Spirit, had a strong premonition of danger and bad situations, and asked directly before the cardinal opened his mouth.

The cardinal who came to report was still in a trance, and replied with a slightly blank voice: "Your Excellency Philibert, six bishops have been swallowed by the holy light, and twenty-three bishops have suffered serious injuries. Cardinal Vili was also badly wounded in his faith."

"Swallowed by the Holy Light? The faith has been severely damaged? What did they read? Aren't there clergy guarding the newspaper?" Philibel asked in a serious tone.

"It's not a newspaper, it's the information publicly conveyed to bishops and above clergy. There is information about the discovery experiment of new particles, which is the internal structure of the atom." The cardinal seemed to have also been shocked, and his speech was a little slurred.

"Such information will be conveyed directly to bishop-level clergy?" Philibel was about to burst into anger.

…………

It didn't take long for Baha'u'llah, the giant of the tribunal, to lock on Andrade and bring him, who had no intention of escaping, to the interrogation room of the tribunal.

Legends such as Philibel and Valenhill watched the interrogation outside.

"When did you join the Magic Council?" Baha'u'llah tried to suppress his anger, but he was also very curious. If he took refuge in the Magic Council, why would he still be able to perform divine spells?

Andrade looked at the cardinal robe on his body with a plain and pure smile: "I have nothing to do with the Magic Council. The pope who borrows the magic council's arcane theories to transform theology is the biggest heretic, a blasphemer!"

"His transformation has tarnished the sanctity of divine arts, blasphemed the majesty of the Lord, and caused the clergy to be played by the Magic Council again and again! Such theology must be abandoned!"

Outside the interrogation room, Valenhill squinted his eyes and said to Philibel: "When did such radical conservative retros appear in Holm Parish?"

"Facing the Magic Council head-on, and accepting shocks again and again, there will always be people who begin to doubt the necessity of theological reform." Philibel looked back at Valenhill calmly.

In the interrogation room, Baha'u'llah roared: "What does that have to do with other bishops? You want to kill your own brothers and sisters in this way? Is this your piety?!"

"Anyone who is severely injured by this experiment is a heretic who has already believed in blasphemy. To severely injure them and kill them is the greatest piety!" Andras said without fear, "Burn me to death, Your Excellency Baha'u'llah, I will ascend the mountain of heaven in flames!"

…………

Parliament headquarters.

"Cursed Eye" Atlant Forman smiled at Douglas: "It is true that we cannot control the clergy to do things that violate their beliefs and fundamental ideas, but what if it is a seed that has sprouted in their hearts?"

"Finding their spiritual loopholes, and then giving them reinforcements and hints, this is the deepest application of illusion." Atlante opened his eyes, and there seemed to be countless figures in the black pupils, which was extremely strange.

"As long as you can think, you will be affected by illusion!"

It's the last ten minutes, don't waste your monthly pass, just ask for a guaranteed monthly pass for September.
