Chapter 378

The prayer hall suddenly became silent.

Perot was silent for a long time and finally said, "I found that the refugees led by Randall are not as pious as before, especially the children of the refugees..."

Faith is the source of holy power pool, which is related to the foundation of the church and can not be lost! The Pope and the first Paladin were indifferent, as if Perot's concerns were not worth mentioning.

Clement said slowly, "turnans and I also noticed this change. In order to make paper, Severin of Marcia gave up the holy light and prayed, but he almost died. What happened then?"

"Miller used his magic to save three lives. Randall's believers went to the church to pray and donate money." "They are very pious," turnans said

Perot argued, "however, not all priests abuse divination like Miller..."

"We master divinity, which is the gift of the Supreme Lord. It is true and undeniable!" Clement interrupted the disciple and said firmly, "if there is magic, there is faith!"

Perot seemed to have a light in his heart, but he couldn't see anything clearly. His two gray eyebrows relaxed and wrinkled from time to time, muttering, "I seem to understand, and it seems that I'm a little short..."

"Your promotion is too fast and your understanding of the doctrine is not thorough enough."

Clement shook his head, drank and asked, "does the Supreme Lord need mortal faith?"

Perot said positively, "the Supreme Lord is the true God, incarnated in the sun, with no beginning and no end. When the Supreme Lord lights up the world, mankind has not been born. He does not need human faith, but mankind needs faith."

"Then why are the refugees led by Randall not as pious as before?"

"They regard themselves as leading the people and are eager to become vassals..." Perot thought and his voice became lower and lower: "they are now living a stable life, becoming richer and richer, far away from poverty, disease, pain and disaster..."

"Isn't this the direction of our efforts? Or do we need believers to struggle and struggle?"

Perot stood up, saluted solemnly and said, "teacher, please remove my confusion."

"We don't need it, we just have to!"

Clement thought for a moment and said slowly: "When the legendary priest Arya started the feudalism, he said, 'this may be a bad thing, but it must be a good thing. The important thing is that we have no choice!'... Many people think that the church has to compromise with the Knights and nobles and let some believers become vassals of the Lord. In fact, on the contrary, the Knights and nobles have become victims of the feudalism, and the church is the biggest beneficiary 。”

"The root of all this lies in the glorious code!"

"Article 1 of the code: Knight protection, church redemption and public dedication. It stipulates the responsibilities of the three, and the responsibilities correspond to the rights. Therefore, the knight holds the secular rule, the Church holds the divine power, and the people seem to have only obligations and no rights. Is that really the case?"

"The code does not stipulate what punishment the knight cannot protect the people and what punishment the Church cannot redeem. The code does not even require the clergy to completely eliminate wizards, because they can't do it! If they can't do it, the code will collapse. The rider can't protect all the people, but must protect himself. The church can't redeem all the people Believers, but they must redeem themselves, and the people do not have to dedicate to the Lord and the church. They can dedicate themselves, protect themselves and redeem themselves. This is the true meaning of protection, redemption and dedication! "

Perot asked cautiously, "the meaning of the establishment of the code is..."

"You're right. The code is a trap." Clement smiled and said, "Your Majesty Enoch set a trap for knights."

"In the era of electors, wizards thought their souls were noble and Knights' blood was noble. Both the Parliament and the Pantheon consciously protected knights. Crazy wizards sacrificed blood to orcs, blood to barbarians, blood to elves and blood to people. They never had blood to Knights... This is a historical mystery that has not been solved. Maybe his Majesty the Pope knows the secret."

Clement paused and continued: "it is only because the wizard war led to a large number of Knight sacrifices that the knight family turned to support his majesty Enoch and put an end to the tyranny of the chosen one."

"His majesty Enoch established the glorious code, attributed the secular to the Knights and nobles, and attributed the divine power to the church, which is certainly a compromise to the reality. But I suspect that the Pope was coerced by the Knights... Although his majesty Enoch is extremely powerful, he still can't protect himself in front of the divine knights. His majesty Enoch had to give in, but he set many obscurities in the glorious code Articles are used to restrict knights. For example, the clergy shall not persecute knights and nobles without reason, otherwise they will lose God's protection; knights and nobles shall not slaughter civilians arbitrarily, and shall not sacrifice more than 50000 soldiers, otherwise the clergy has the right to punish knights. "

"The right to sanction means that sanctions can be imposed or not, can be executed or fined... The initiative is in the hands of the church."

"In the glorious calendar year, Omi, the goblin king, led an orc army to enslave 14 white apes and attack the northern cities. The black emperor galdemer summoned the northern Knight family to forcibly recruit 800000 city-state soldiers to fight against it on the mourning plain. Although he successfully blocked the goblin king, the northern knights were killed and injured seriously, and 530000 city-state soldiers died on the battlefield. His majesty Pope Berto led the glorious knights and saint The palace army then launched an attack and completely wiped out the orc army. His majesty Berto opened a glorious era with the momentum of great victory, and then executed the black emperor galdemer for sacrificing soldiers. This announced the end of the golden age and the beginning of the silver age. "

Clement said coldly, "no matter how the monastery whitewashes history, in my opinion, Berto is a sinner of history. He opened the disaster of the human world!"

"Since then, the relationship between the knight family and the clergy has fallen to the freezing point. The citizens of the city-state have the shelter of the church, escape from danger and become refugees. The northern city-state has been falling, and the human country is in danger. Until the glorious calendar 2973, the noble daughter Arya proposed the vassal system in the ivory castle."

"On the surface, the vassal system strengthened the power of the knight family and weakened the influence of the Church..."

Thurnans shouted, "we humans are all going to die. Do we still care so much?"

Clement nodded with a smile and said, "the core of the canonization system is to let the knight open his blood to the common people. The knight's blood has also spread to the church, and there are many noble priests, such as me. The canonization system strengthened the connection between the knight and the church, but also led to the decline of the knight's blood, and the bronze knight has become the mainstream of society. It is also known as the bronze age."

"Arya is a noble woman and a priest. She said, 'this may not be a good thing' refers to the knight, 'it must be a good thing' refers to the church, but the knight and the church really have no choice. The orcs don't care who is noble or low... The result is good. The ancestors guarded the human world."

Clement asked Perot: "My student, are the vassal soldiers soldiers soldiers? Should their sacrifices be held accountable to the knights? If the vassal soldiers can dedicate themselves, protect themselves and redeem themselves, can the refugee mercenary Corps do so? The answer is yes, they have done so! In fact, we are not good to the refugees. There are almost no refugee priests in the church, and the holy pool is not good to the refugees Open, the children of the vassal family have the opportunity to become priests. In that case, what's the problem with Lord Randall's recruitment of the exile mercenary corps? "

Perot shook his head and said, "no problem."

"There's a problem! It's a problem whether the refugee mercenary Corps works or not!" Cried tulnans.

"You're right!" Clement patted thurnans on the shoulder, stood up and said with his negative hand: "Sylvia and I are thinking about whether we can expand the southern continent by relying on the vassal soldiers? The answer is no, as evidenced by the failure of the sassanne Empire and the Borui kingdom! Viscount Randall's large Legion strategy gives us hope, but Sylvia and I are not sure whether the mercenary Legion will work... But I am clear that the more we master divinity, the more the population, the more the holy pool will be The more abundant, this is our fundamental interest. Randall's reform is in the fundamental interest of the church! "

"Arya has changed the church. With the trend led by Victor, what changes should we make to adapt to this new era?"

Perot's eyes brightened and whispered, "under the crown, you mean..."

"Yes." Clement said: "development is only a representation. Who can guide the change of the church is the protagonist of the times. Therefore, I don't want to let monasteries and tribunals enter Randall's territory. This is the hope of our Benedictine sect."

"Under the crown, what are you going to do?" Perot asked excitedly.

Clement walked back and forth for two steps, looked up and said, "I persuaded his majesty Rex to recruit 300000 refugees to build large-scale water conservancy projects in order to make the Neville Kingdom follow the development model of viscount Randall. However..." the Pope frowned again: "Lord Randall seems hesitant. The school he set up is only for the leading families, and the migrant employment families are excluded. This shows that when he develops to a certain stage, he must close the door to the floating people and concentrate on cultivating the next generation of vassals and leading people. Otherwise, there should not be only 400000 but 800000 Randall leaders in 20 years. We must give him a push."

"Cooperate with Lord Randall to establish church schools and recruit the children of leading families and employing families!"

"Church school?"

Clement said with burning eyes: "Church schools and public carriages are the direction of church reform! New farming and animal husbandry will fully explore the potential of the territory, which will only lead to one result - the population growth of the refugees and the gradual disappearance of the refugee groups. This means that the secular influence of the Lord will expand. If we do not adjust the way of preaching in time, the church is likely to lose its dominant position in the human world."

"Missionary schools can make our influence go deep into the families of vassals, leaders and liberals. The public carriage will make our changes spread rapidly."

"But... We don't have so many priests? How can church schools be promoted? Can we give Ivory Saint castle and ograt Abbey A share?"

Clement smiled like an old fox. "There's no priest. People are in King al's country."

Perot suddenly realized that he now fully understood Clement's layout.

Clement gave up the two dioceses of Gambis and Borui. On the surface, the Benedictines gave up the leading power of development and were specifically responsible for the logistics of the church, so that the ivory castle and the Knights of glory put down their guard and focused on development. Secretly, the Benedictines quietly led the reform of missionary methods.

The people of Ayres are the descendants of the clergy. They have firm faith, are diligent in martial arts and are proficient in academic affairs. They belong to the preparatory clergy. The shining knights and ivory castle are busy developing, so they must transfer the priests and paladins of Ayres. Benedict's personnel are insufficient, so he had to call the preparatory clergy, but they can't carry out academic affairs independently. They can only engage in missionary work - establishing church schools , help the kingdom of Neville and the horse hills transform refugees.

The purpose of mastering the public carriage and the prairie diocese is to guide the migration of the refugees of the Sassanian Empire and strengthen the strength of Neville and the man horse hills.

The strength of Neville and Renma hills soared and successfully opened up territory. Other lords must follow suit and request the establishment of church schools. With the increase of population, the holy pool can be expanded, and these preparatory clergy will be promoted to priests and paladins. They will be firm supporters of Benedictine and bring new missionary methods to all over the world.

By the time the shining knight and the ivory Castle react, the status of Benedictines will be unshakable!

The key question now is whether Viscount Randall's mercenary army has combat effectiveness?

Clement said almost to himself, "tomorrow, Randall will lead a military parade. I hope Lord Randall can conquer the Rose Queen."

"May my lord bless Lord Randall." Perot whispered.

Clement saw the sheepskin scroll on the table, frowned and said: "This file records that Miller was once an exile of SUS. He told his son that he was a wizard and watched him purified with his own eyes. Considering that Miller was a devout believer, the priest who presided over the purification ceremony left him to do chores in the church, and finally became a God's family by our Lord's favor... The information in this is incomplete, and I need a more detailed report. You send someone to Shenghui cathedral to get information about him All the files of that purification ceremony should be sent to me as soon as possible! "

"Yes, under the crown!"

**************************

The priest's bedroom in the left courtyard of the church.

Mountain pig lay quietly on the floor with his eyes closed. He was more than 2.2 meters tall and weighed 450 pounds. The humble wooden bed could not accommodate this tall and fat fool.

Miller's thin fingers coagulated a mass of white gold light, in which were countless small platinum runes, which were slowly rotating in a mysterious way.

"Child, I will open your wisdom and give you divine power. You will be immune to toxin damage, immune to soul damage, control the wind with holy power, make you light and agile, control the water with holy power, make you heal wounds and diseases, control the earth with holy power, make you strong, control the fire with holy power, make your heart complete and intuitive. You are the shining God of war, and the holy angel will accompany you. You are my eyes, my ears and my body. It is your mission to protect the master, and it is your destiny to keep him from death. Child, I pray that our Lord will have mercy on you, and may the angel not come to you. "

The white golden light mass was buried in the mountain pig's forehead, and the virtual shadow of a four winged angel appeared on his body surface, just like a pair of armor covering his whole body. In a moment, the angel shrank into a little and disappeared without a trace.

Miller gazed at the ugly face of the mountain pig, sighed, knelt on one knee and recited: "I said, there will be nine partners around you. They are your sword, your shield, your armor, your hands and your legs. They will accompany you into the endless forest, cut through thorns and thorns for you and face the mother of the ant tribe. Five of them will cross the river with you and see the truth of the world. You will not die, and the glorious god of war will take over your destiny. You will return Return, will open a new era. "

With that, Miller stood up trembling, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper.

The wooden door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside, and a small head poked in. His round face was fat and his big eyes were as clear as a baby.

She bit her tender white finger and whispered, "Grandpa Miller, you seem to be old again. Didn't you eat well and sleep well?"

Miller's old face smiled into a flower and waved, "bell, come on, I'll introduce you to a new friend."

Bertina jumped to the bed, stared at the mountain pig and exclaimed, "he's so fat. He must eat more than bell. I don't want to be friends with him. He'll rob my dessert, my moire ham, my roast salmon... And mine..." as she said, her saliva flowed down.

Miller had a black line in his head and said dryly: "in fact, mountain pig is easy to get full. He won't rob your ham..."

The mountain pig suddenly opened his eyes and muttered vaguely, "hungry... I want to eat ham."
