Chapter 130

Aware of someone entering, the black dragon turned his head and stared at the people coming in with its ferocious eyes. The wings of the Dragon flapped, and the stench of the wind was blowing. In the wind, the flesh and bones of cattle, sheep and animals were smashed at the white robed friar.

White robed friars holding the chest of the cross, a light layer of light released, the stolen goods will be blocked. Holding a torch, he walked along the edge of the huge underground cave, admiring the captive dragon. Originally, it was just a stone like egg, which was brought back from the far north by the holy court with special means after the glacier, and hatched in secret in nearly 300 years.

Unfortunately, on the one hand, because the age of legend has come to an end, on the other hand, it is only a hybrid descendant of the real dragon, and the black dragon is far less than the legendary dragon.

A replica.

A replica that's shrunk countless times.

"The back of the legendary dragon crawls like an ancient mountain range." The white robed friar sighed to himself, "I really want to see what an amazing creation it is."

The black dragon had calmed down gradually. The white robed friar approached the iron rope and put his hand on the mechanism.

"As a dragon killer, why not kill a dragon again?"

He said, with a strange smile in his voice.

………………

Legrand, Rose Palace.

The witch leader's suggestion to take the lead in attacking the "Papal house" was similar to the last warning before the devil left. The king did not express any attitude towards it at that time, but after the hunting, the housekeeper immediately summoned Dean Anil at the king's order.

Or "Archbishop Anil.".

Not long ago, he was appointed Archbishop of St. Louis by the king.

When the king summoned Archbishop Anil, the witch leader temporarily hid. Although the king sheltered them, as a witch, she was always reluctant to meet the clergy. In particular, for the dark world, father Anil's name is much louder than the bishop of the twelve holy places.

"The house of the Pope."

Hearing the king's inquiry, Archbishop Anil pondered for a moment, and then told the king in detail.

The so-called "Papal house" means that the Pope enjoys absolute authority on all religious issues. The Pope is the head of the family, and all believers must obey it. [1]

"the Pope is the monarch of the spiritual world." The king said thoughtfully that he had probably guessed something.

Instead of continuing the subject, he asked Archbishop Anil about the miracles of the holy Empire and the progress of the reformation in Legrand.

After the famous Legrand dispute, a group of theologians and scholars gathered at the gray hawk tavern in METZL City, where they held the first discussion on Legrand church reform. Later, when the Holy See launched the "Hall of truth" on the other side of the abyss channel, General John almost tit for tat presided over the Legrand religious conference which the king had previously ordered.

In the "Legrand jurisprudential dispute", the Legrand church lost its judicial power. In the first religious reform conference, this point was further fixed in the form of "Prohibition of appeal" on the basis of the book of obedience to the teaching law. On the surface, the "Prohibition of appeal order" refers to the prohibition of bypassing the royal court and directly filing a lawsuit to the Holy See.

In fact, however, it is a more complete fragmentation.

It completely separated the Church of Legrand from the church that had become a holy empire. It not only completely cut off the judicial contact between Legrand and the Holy See, but also cancelled Legrand's tribute to the Holy See.

"It's hard to imagine that the implementation of the prohibition of appeal order is so smooth."

Archbishop Anil said in a low voice that although he was not good at politics, he still had some basic knowledge. When the injunction was voted on, it was passed at an astonishing speed. Even some representatives of the high lords remained neutral in front of it for the time being, and the support rate of the lower class members was even astonishingly high.

"I thought you knew why, Monsieur bishop." The king laughed in a low voice. He leaned back in his chair and reminded Archbishop Anil, "you should be very clear about the court case."

Archbishop Anil was silent for a moment, looking sad.

The king's fingertips were tapping on the armrest. On his desk, there were a lot of files he had already read. If he wanted to target the enemy, he had to know more about himself. The understanding of the Holy See was the king's assurance of implying that the reformation conference put forward the "Prohibition of appeal order".

He knew it would be supported.

Because the Procrastination of the papal court is notorious.

In name, the holy see is the Supreme Court of the whole church, but in fact, the Holy See has taken many cases that could be solved in the Bishop's and county Bishop's courts into its own hands. Even the local lords who did not support the king were extremely dissatisfied with this. To some extent, it also divided the economic income of a large part of the local Lord's court. On the other hand, each case submitted directly from various countries to the papal academy needs to go through countless hands. For each hand, there is a corresponding "unwritten fee", and in addition to these usual fees, there are more additional bribes. [2]Even the aristocrats with considerable income could not bear such exploitation.

Some people have made statistics, and the remuneration for a single part of the case summary is as high as dozens of times of the official fee [3].

In addition, the cumbersome Procrastination of church court procedures has become a well-known laughing stock.

A vulgar joke reflects this point incisively and vividly. It's about a prosecutor going to the court of the Holy See to file a lawsuit. His wife waited for several years, but she couldn't wait for her husband to come back. She couldn't bear to ask the prosecutor's friend. Friends congratulated her: "God bless you! Your good husband has run through all the office rooms! He will be able to go home after finishing the summary next month! " [4]

as for the second point in the prohibition of appeal order, the tribute to the Holy See should be terminated.

Is there really anyone in the world who will hand in their money for nothing?

It has nothing to do with how many people believe that bishop Anil's "piety lies in faith". Although the reform is in the name of "religion", it is actually a re division of interests.

No one will refuse to get benefits, as long as the benefits are not cut from them.

Bishop Anil finished his presentation of the Religious Council, and at the same time, he asked the king one thing that puzzled him: "how did you make sure that the miracles of the Holy See had such little influence on Legrand? Your majesty. "

He, who knows the secrets of the Holy See, does not believe that the so-called "miraculous oracle" of the holy see is normal. However, the influence of the miraculous Oracle of the holy see on the ordinary people of Legrand is much smaller than he imagined.

After the miracle, bishop Anil was prepared to face stronger resistance from the larger people, and the result was unexpected.

"Because I didn't see it with my own eyes after all." The king replied, pausing, and he added, "besides, they chose the black death."

Bishop Anil's doubts are also the doubts of the witch leader.

After arriving in Legrand, the witches stayed at the first Institute of pathology in Legrand, and all they came into contact with were lunatics in the eyes of normal people. So they subconsciously think that the indifference of the people in the research institute to the miracles is due to their own abnormality - hell, someone is eager to study the differences between angels and humans.

But at the bottom of the witch's heart, they subconsciously think that normal people have a different attitude towards miracles.

On the way out of the holy Empire, they met more crazy believers than the judges of the holy court.

But Legrand is totally different.

Crosses are not everywhere, people don't kneel down outside the church in groups, and Atonement vouchers are almost extinct. Walking in the street, you will not hear people preaching "oracle" very often. Midwives and widows don't have a sad face. They worry about when they will be dragged out. There are also a group of scholars in various pubs, loudly attacking and mocking the records of the "Hall of truth" coming back from the other side of the abyss Strait

Everything here shocked and awed the witch.

She felt that she had stepped into a very different country.

Finally, after seeing a scholar give a speech in the street and the crowd dispersed, she couldn't help but walk over and put forward her own question.

The scholar looked at her in surprise, and then replied in a natural tone, "but what does Blaise's miracles have to do with Legrand?"

"But..." This answer makes the witch gape, always feel that there is something wrong, but it seems that there is nothing wrong.

Seeing her dull appearance, the scholar thought about it, and then carefully answered his own opinion: "the pope said that the black death was the punishment of the Lord for people, and the Lord forgave the world, so the angel came. However, as early as before the arrival of the angels, our majesty had already expelled the black death in the southeast and made the death bow down. Isn't your majesty, who solved the black death earlier than the Holy See, closer to the representative of God's will than the Pope

The witch finally understood why.

The Holy See wanted to use the influence of the black death to expand and build the holy Empire more smoothly. And this just made it lose its sacred aura in the eyes of the people of Legrand, because the king of Legrand solved the black death earlier than the Holy See.

She couldn't resist a smile of schadenfreude.

The scholar rolled up his drawing and was ready to leave. When the witch saw that the drawing was full of ellipses and spheres, she asked curiously what it was.

"Oh, this one!" Referring to their own drawings, scholars' interest suddenly came up, "this is the celestial orbit I simulated. Those guys in the hall of truth are stupid enough to claim that the heliocentric theory is wrong, but the fact is not like them! It's a pity that I wanted to visit Mr. TYA. I've written to him before, and his research progress in this field is much faster than mine, but it doesn't matter! "

Scholars are in high spirits.

"I believe that I can also take off the sun!"

The author has something to say: Legrand people: what does Blaise's miracle have to do with me? JPG

[1] quoted from the history of reformation[2] The same as [1]

[3] the papal court proceedings before the reformation must be recorded, but the remuneration for the summary of the case is as high as 24-41 times of the official fee.

[4] Before the reformation, the Roman Church had become a court, but not the most respected one, where the sale of privileges and immunity certificates and the purchase of sacraments were carried out. But the prosecutor has to keep running from one office to another with a complaint.
