Chapter 888 The beginning of change
A question of faith!
In fact, before the Battle of Wangxiangcheng began, Dale Sheews had already vaguely felt something strange about the Lord of Dawn.
Whether it was the subtle changes in daily prayers or the dream about the shepherd he often dreamed of at night, Dale Sheews felt a little uneasy.
The most obvious change is the use of divine art. Before, when the paladins used divine art, they relied more on their own understanding of the way of holy light. However, recently, especially before and after the Battle of Wangxiangcheng, he obviously found that it was more convenient for him to use divine art.
The speed of feedback from magical arts is probably one-third higher than before, but the quality has slightly decreased.
But this is just his personal feeling. For most middle and lower-class paladins, they almost couldn't detect this change in quality. Everyone was cheering for the increase in the speed of feedback from the divine arts, which meant that the Lord of Dawn had taken a step further as the authority as a god.
Lord Stannis talked to Dell about faith long before the Paladin Expeditionary Force set out.
"If one day the Lord of Dawn is no longer Lord of Dawn, will you still believe in Him?" Dale remembered that Lord Stannis was full of worry when he said this.
This kind of rebellious words made Dale Sheeworth's heart beat for a while. He forced a smile: "Sir, I can't understand your words, how could the Lord of the Dawn change?"
At that time, he naively thought that Lord Stannis had changed his belief in the Lord of Dawn because of his own situation. He did not have the courage to get involved in the affairs between the church and Lord Stannis, and could only pretend not to understand.
The legendary Paladin Stannis Baratheon has always been the signature of the Church of Morning. For many years, he has been holding on to the strongest Paladin tomorrow, making the Church of Morning superior to others in the entire church unit.
There are even rumors outside that he may be the only legendary strongman who can draw against the Witch King of the New World in a one-on-one battle.
But even this legendary strong man also has his own troubles. His daughter Shilin, the princess of the Baratheon family, and the only descendant of Lord Stannis, was plotted against by the Chaos worshipper when he was young.
Those Chaos worshipers infected the little princess of the Baratheon family with the plague from Nurg. Even with the power of Lord Stannis, they could not use the magical technique of removing diseases to dispel the special diseases in their daughters.
He could only rely on his vast power of holy light to maintain his daughter's situation. For this reason, Lord Stannis has almost never left his daughter in recent years. Even on the battlefield in the Chaos Fallen Zone, he would take his daughter to fight with him.
Because of this, Lord Stannis's daughter was infected by the chaos plague, which was not a secret within the church, and many priests knew about it.
There is never a shortage of dogma within the church, and a stone-like stinky and hard-working stone head like a stone. Many people have always used a tough attitude to "purify" Shireen Baratheon.
Of course, none of them succeeded, and many people even ended up paying a heavy price under Lord Stannis' iron fist and sword. However, because of this, the attitude towards Stannis within the church became increasingly tougher.
This tough attitude is just an obvious statement. As Stannis' most trusted adjutant, Dale Seaworth actually knew that in private, many priests and Stannis were already in a state of power.
Dale Sheews worriedly borrowed the channels of the Woking Church and contacted the upper class of the Chenxi Church. Sure enough, he was scolded so much that most of the Paladin expeditionary forces were wiped out in the Far South. This incident was definitely the biggest scandal of the church in recent decades.
Although this matter has not spread yet, it is only a matter of time before. The church can block it for a while, but it cannot be concealed.
And he, Dale Seaworth, is the best scapegoat, he is the acting commander and has no choice but to do so.
During the call, Paladin Dell pretended to be unintentional and asked Lord Stannis if he was doing well recently, but there was a message that made him feel heartbroken from the other side.
Lord Stannis Baratheon has temporarily withdrew from the specific work of the Morning Church due to illness recently and does not want to be disturbed by the outside world for the time being.
Dale Sheews, who heard this reason, almost choked to death in his throat in one breath. The disease that the legendary paladin was unable to go out due to illness could turn the Old Continent into a dead end, right?
Dale, who was wandering in other places, didn't know what was going on inside the church, but it was certain that Lord Stannis really broke up with the church this time.
I just don’t know what role the Chenxi Church plays in this. After all, the current Pope of the Chenxi Church is just a high-level pastor, not a legendary powerhouse. In many cases, although his status is more noble, he is not as powerful as Lord Stannis.
What Dale Seaworth didn't know was that the legendary Paladin Stannis Baratheon had pierced the sky in the Old Continent this time.
He publicly declared that the Lord of Dawn was violating the principles of the Way of Holy Light.
Not to mention the Chenxi Church, even the players from the Old Continent did not expect that the indigenous people could play such a wild way.
The EU government has always been unable to see the church on its territory, but it has suffered from insufficient high-end power to compete with the other party, so it can only take the middle-level route, expanding its territory in one city at a time. This time, no matter how the outside world reacts, it quickly sent people to contact the blasphemous legendary paladin.
As a result, the people they sent and the people sent by the church had a conflict halfway, and a sudden religious war broke out.
Stannis Baratheon still does his own way, doesn't care about rumors from the outside world, and takes his daughter to the Temple of Morning Light every day to forcibly promote his own theory.
Stannis publicly declared that the Lord of Dawn was abandoning his personalized side and moving closer to the direction of regularization of no feelings, no good and evil, no right and wrong. He believed that this was heresy and was incorrect.
For thirteen days, Stannis was in a state of no one, preached to believers and priests in the major temples of Dawn, forcing the Pope of the Dawn Church to announce his official abdication, and the agent of the Pope temporarily managed the Dawn Church.
