Chapter 282

The other side lost, a magician, in front of Queen Medusa, did not even insist on a face to face, was instantly killed. The rest of these people died, injured, and most importantly, the leading Knight geppel was also seriously injured, and the rest of the boats were defeated.

Duwei did not order the pursuit, and maximus did not seem to ask Duwei to order the pursuit of meaning, this just let each other a way out, let them with people run away.

And maximus put forward a strange request to Dewey: put back the two people he caught.

The Archbishop Ramsey seemed dissatisfied. When he returned to the cabin, he could not help complaining to maximus: "my bishop... Why are you still so kind? Don't you see that they have decided to kill you! Alas... Even if, even if you don't want to kill too much, you don't want to kill too much. But at least we just caught a few people. We can take them to the imperial capital and confront them in front of his holiness. At that time, those people who act recklessly will feel that they can't get rid of their debts. "

Maximus listened, just a smile, and then patted Archbishop Ramsey on the shoulder: "my old friend, things are not so simple."

Later, he did not explain much, but looked at Duwei: "tulip Lord, today I really let you laugh, let you see some ugly things in the temple. But please believe that these are just a few bad people. Most of the clergy are still bathed in the glory of God and are pure. "

Dewey laughed indifferently: "I don't care about that. It's just that I'm more inclined to the position of Archbishop Ramsey, the living ones. Why let it go? "

Maximus looks pale, and then looks at the old smoke and others behind Dewey. Du Wei immediately understand, let old smoke and other guards back, and asked people to put some tea up again.

Outside on the ground deck, naturally there are sailors and bodyguards cleaning the battlefield, and that Rhine shows the strength that makes Duwei very surprised. Duwei likes this fierce general more and more. He ordered to find a new set of knight armor from the cabin and reward it to this guy. He also laughed at Rhine and said, "I admire your bravery, Knight of Rhine. In order to express my friendship, I want to give you a gift. Well, I see the weapon you used, the big axe, though sharp. But it was broken just now. To tell you the truth, I personally don't think your martial arts skills are suitable for this kind of thing. I want to give you a weapon so that when you fight in the future. It will be more convenient. "

Rhine was also very happy, but then he scratched his hair in distress: "Your Highness, but... I've tried many weapons, they are too light. This is the axe... Alas. It's just barely used. If it's twice as heavy, it's almost enough. "

Du Wei said with a smile: "you may not know that I have a shop in the imperial capital, which specializes in manufacturing some special weapons. If you want, where can you go after you return to the imperial capital. I promise I'll get you something you like. "

Then Rhine left the room with Dewey and the two bishops.

"Lord Maximus, now, I think we need to have a good talk." Du Wei looked awe inspiring, and sat down calmly: "personally, I don't want to participate in the internal disputes of the temple, but today's affairs. Even if I want to hide now. It's too late, isn't it? So. Now that I'm in, I think I have the right to know. "

Maximus, with no expression on his face, pondered for a moment, looked at ramus. Ramus nodded and said, "how much do you know about the history of the temple of light, Duchess?"

"History?" Du Wei frowned and thought: "I think I still know a little bit, but most of what I know comes from history books. However, I think I can tell you the truth. I always feel that history books are not reliable. In order to beautify history, people who write history books will inevitably tell lies in them." After a pause, he and the two bishops looked at each other, and the three of them laughed at each other at the same time. Then Du Wei continued: "well, the history of the temple, I know, should be a long time, but there are official records, it should be from 961 years ago, when the Roland empire was founded. In the process of unifying the mainland and establishing the Loran Empire, the great king of Aragon got a lot of help from the Church of light. In return, after the founding of the people's Republic, his majesty recognized the Church of light as the only state religion of the Empire, And the only legitimate religion. It was also at that time that the Church of light gained its legal orthodoxy. In the same year that the Loran empire was founded, the temple of light was officially established, with its headquarters in the imperial capital. Before that, although the Church of light had always existed... But with all due respect, before the reunification of the mainland, the Church of light had no orthodox status in the mainland. At that time, there were many small countries and many pagans in the mainland, right? "

Rums nodded: "the Duke knows a lot about history. You're right. That's what the book says. It can be said that the Church of light assisted his majesty Aragon in unifying the mainland, and his majesty also helped the Church of light gain the only orthodox status in the mainland. "

"It's a win-win result." Dewey smiles.

"It's not easy for outsiders to know these things. After all, many things will not be recorded in the books circulated outside." Rums sighed: "but, your highness, it's not that simple. If you're interested in it... Maybe I can tell you some historical stories."

Dewey laughed: "the story? Good. My favorite thing is listening to stories. "

Rums coughed and began to speak slowly

"It's true that the temple of light has a history of 961 years. But the existence of the church is much longer than that. When was the Church of light founded? It's not clear now. However, before the Loran Empire unified the mainland, the Church of light was not the only religion on the mainland. Many religions worship gods. No goddess of light... Oh, may the great gods forgive them, poor pagans. Well, let's get back to the point, um... In fact, the Church of light has a long history. When it comes to assisting his majesty Aragon to unify the mainland, we have to mention one person. This man is his Majesty the first Pope in the history of our church of light, his majesty missus muyabaldoros. Oh, this name is a bit awkward. However, when people mention this great emperor, they will give him a friendly and respectful name. We all call him "wise micheus" or "prophet micheus".

Before the Loran Empire unified the mainland, there were many religions on the mainland. But the biggest one is still our church of light. Unfortunately... Our church of light has the largest number of believers, but it is not the most powerful one. Because at that time, the Church of light was not united. There are even dangerous signs of division. In the final analysis, it is because we all believe in the great goddess of light. However, there are some differences on the understanding of the doctrine, and there are also great ambiguities on how to spread the doctrine of the goddess of light.... "

At this point, Dewey laughed in his heart: all differences in understanding doctrines are high sounding words. They are nothing more than the uneven distribution of interests and power.

"At that time, there were three schools in the Church of light: Yemeni and Mosha. And the Black Hills. Among them, the Yemeni school advocates cruel treatment of the pagans. At the same time, the Yemeni school believes that the power of the church should be superior to the king and secular power. The divine power should be the only master in the world. It advocates the elimination of all the existence that dare to challenge the authority of the church by means of force... Well, we think these ideas are too cruel. The Mosa school advocates the dissemination of faith through enlightenment and persuasion, by the way. Maximus and I. It's all Mosha. We advocate to improve our self-cultivation, in order to realize the greatness of Goddess doctrine. To influence people, and we advocate that the church should be pure and should not have any intersection with secular power. "

When Dewey heard this, he said in his heart: Yemeni and Mosha sects are just so-called hawks and doves.

Thinking of this, he asked, "what about the Heishan school?"

"The Heishan school was a relatively small school at that time, but its strength was the most powerful, because the Heishan school was a typical ascetic school. It advocated self-cultivation, did not interfere in anything outside, and tried to improve its understanding of the goddess doctrine. It did not care about how outsiders were. Therefore, they are also called "ascetics" or "hermits". Although they are few in number, they are the most hardworking, so the diviners in the Heishan sect are the most powerful. They are generally independent of the world. As long as they do not interfere in their own practice, they are not willing to participate in anything outside. However, if anyone is against the Church of light, that is the only weakness of the black mountain sect. If anyone dares to threaten the safety of the church, the Black Mountain sect will use its great strength to destroy all enemies who dare to challenge the church. Therefore, the Montenegrin sect can also be regarded as the largest Guardian force of the church, but their proposition is not to take the initiative to invade, but to defend passively. "

"The three schools have been fighting for hundreds of years, but mainly the disputes between Yeni and Mosha, while the Montenegrin school is mainly in a neutral state. But about a thousand years ago, things changed‘ The smart micheus appeared, and his appearance changed everything. "

Dewey nodded: "I probably understand that the appearance of this micheus, his Majesty the first Pope, unified the disputes within the church? And then his majesty Aragon formed an alliance? "

"That's about it. His majesty Hughes is very clever. He is very powerful. He is also a natural excellent leader. It is said that he is knowledgeable, friendly, good at persuading others, and has a strong personality charm. With his efforts, he finally integrated the three schools of the Church of light... Of course, or in other words, The "temporary" are united. Later, with the help of the believers of the Church of light distributed all over the mainland, the army of the Loran empire was invincible. Everywhere they went, they could get the great help of the Church of light. Soon, the Loran Empire unified the mainland, and his highness Aragon officially established the Empire, and praised him as the first emperor of the Empire, And declared the Church of light the only legitimate religion on the continent of Roland, and all other religions are evil heretics. "

Dewey couldn't help but ask, "so... Your majesty, which school is he from? Mosha or Yemeni? Or the Heishan school? " As soon as the question was raised, Ramos and maximus looked at each other and showed bitterness“ No one knows. " Always silent maximus sighed: "this is the problem, let the temple of light internal quarrel for more than 900 years!" Dewey was a little surprised: "why?"“ Because up to now, no one can confirm which school his majesty micheus belongs to. " Ramses also sighed: "according to the records, his majesty micheus himself never openly admitted that he was a person of any school. He kept silent and no one else could press him."“ If we can determine the school of his majesty micheus, then I'm afraid the temple won't have internal strife for more than 900 years. In these more than 900 years, I don't know how much blood has been shed in the internal strife... I don't know how many so-called "heretics" have been burned on the burning column outside the temple of the imperial capital... Alas... "Maximus sighed and looked gloomy.
