Chapter 1561 There must be a reason for the relocation of the Glory Holy City!
"Can't move away!" The Pope subconsciously objected. Facing the surprised and accusatory looks of several foreign legends, he calmed down, straightened his expression, and tried to look at each other with firm eyes:
"To move away now is to admit that the Holy City is a fallen and cursed city! This will shake the legitimacy of the Holy See!"
"Lord, who can be a guest in your tent? Who can dwell in your holy mountain? He who is blameless, whose deeds are upright, and who speaks the truth in his heart."
[Walker of the Immaculate] Sigi Frere lowered his eyes and chanted softly. The Pope's old face became even stiffer, and the staff in his hand was tightened and loosened, loosened and then tightened, almost touching the hard staff.
Make your fingerprints.
These ascetic monks are all stubborn, their heads are colder than ice and snow, and they are stronger than stone!
When you open your mouth, it is the holy word, when you shut up, you are the meaning of the scriptures. Every word and every action is measured against the teachings with a ruler, and you are not willing to make a mistake or make a wrong step. There is no such thing as any trade-off or strategy!
"The entire continent depends on my Lord for protection. The Holy See is my Lord's agent on earth." He endured his anger and explained in a low voice:
"If the reputation of the Holy See is damaged and cannot bring many kingdoms and nobles back, it means that the canonization of the Holy See is illegal and the legitimacy of each royal family and nobles will be flawed!
In this case, many people will have ambitions that should not exist, and the entire continent will fall into chaos! It will fall into endless war and killing! The Lamb of the Lord will bleed in large numbers!"
The ascetic monk snorted and stopped talking. Beside him, [Pale Sword] Ebi Lucio had a solemn face and remained silent for a long time:
As the former leader of the Holy Knights, he is much more sensitive to politics than the ascetic monks.
Needless to say, what the Pope just said needs to be said. He has foreseen it. Once the legitimacy of the Glorious Holy City is shaken, needless to say, the small friction between the Brolin Kingdom and the Lain Kingdom can turn into a big conflict at any time;
Joseph I, the king of the Kingdom of Lain and also the king of the Kingdom of Boyin, would not be shaken by his throne - in any case, he was the king of the kingdom elected by the seven electors.
However, recently, Joseph I is seeking to be crowned by the Holy See, so that he can obtain the legitimate title of "Emperor". If the legitimacy of the Glorious Holy City is shaken, God knows how this king will change his face!
Not to mention the seven princes of the Kingdom of Lain, three of whom are archbishops of the diocese. They may claim their status at any time, seek to replace the status of the pope, and even demand that the Holy See be moved to their territory;
Several border vassals were a little bit dissatisfied with the propaganda, but the Protestant turmoil in the territory was serious, and the vassals turned a blind eye.
Whether it is the family of the [Golden Lion] Duke of Saxony or the family of the "White Wolf" Count Askan, if the Holy City of Glory becomes a cursed place, guess whether they will simply praise the Protestants and make them orthodox?
The Holy City of Glory has really become a cursed place, forced to relocate, religious wars, wars between kingdoms, and blood will flow into rivers in minutes!
To be honest, he didn't feel it was a pity to destroy such a decaying glorious holy city. However, in wars, those who suffered were the Lamb of the Lord, and His Excellency the Pale Sword couldn't bear it.
Because of this, he accepted the invitation and quickly returned to the Glory Holy City. However, the situation in the Holy City was far worse than he expected...
"If it can be maintained, it's better to maintain it as much as possible." He persuaded in a low voice:
"No matter how bad the order is, it is better than no order. For the sake of the Lord's lambs, we, the shepherds, should not shed blood, even if we have a lot of patience."
[Unsullied Walker] Sigi Frey snorted and stopped talking. His next speaker, [Hand of Mercy], Sister Marietta couldn't help it:
"But now, the situation in the Glorious Holy City has become so bad! In order to maintain the status of the Holy City, the Lord's Lambs, the Lord's shepherds, must endure pain and disease for a long time, and are slowly tortured to the point of death.
Die?!"
This is also one of the reasons why Lord Pale Sword has been hesitant.
In the Holy City, mourning was everywhere, every family was sick, and every household was infected with the disease. Even the soldiers who lived dozens of miles away from the Holy City and were mobilized for emergency relief began to show symptoms one after another half a month later...
…
This city is no longer safe.
Even he himself could feel the faint sting when he gathered all his strength and only relied on his body's instinct to walk in the city.
Especially near the detonation center. Before he even got there, his heart was already beating wildly due to the warning signs. As a legendary warrior, he was like this. A slightly weaker person would not even be able to get close!
"...It's definitely impossible to relocate like this." He lowered his head and skillfully tapped seven points on his chest with his fingertips, and then, almost without pause, tapped two more points:
"Removing it directly without any explanation or coverup will only make the Lamb of the Lord uneasy and provide an excuse for the secret observers to attack."
He glanced sideways at the Pope who relaxed slightly, then quickly tensed up again, and said in deep thought:
"There must be a justifiable reason... This reason must not shake the legitimacy of the Holy City..."
[Unsullied Walker] Sigi Frere and [Hand of Mercy] Sister Marietta looked at each other, with solemn faces and said nothing. In the dilemma, they had no better way and could only express their acquiescence.
The Pope breathed a sigh of relief and asked eagerly:
"So what's the reason?"
What?
What reason?
His Excellency the Pale Sword glanced at him speechlessly:
you ask me?
You actually asked me this question?
If I were so good at making up reasons and stories, I wouldn’t have chosen the path of a knight in the first place. I would have gone directly to become a pastor, shepherd the Lord’s lambs, and convert the Lord’s believers!
If I were good at making up excuses, I wouldn't have run away in anger, I would have simply left the Holy Knights!
I have already thought out the purpose for you. "As long as there is a suitable reason, I am willing to support the relocation of the Holy City." I have made this attitude clear. Next, you can think of the reasons yourself!
Fortunately, the chief referee coughed slightly and spoke slowly. He did not give an excuse directly, but started from the beginning of the establishment of the Holy City:
"Actually, the original origin of the Glorious Holy City was not the place where the Lord performed miracles, nor the place where the earliest saints returned to heaven. It was the capital of a great empire, and it was precisely because it was the capital that the Holy City was created.
The city’s supreme status…”
This is different from the Archdiocese of the Levant. The reason why the Archdiocese of the Levant is the first of the five dioceses is because it is the place where the earliest saint was born and where he suffered and was resurrected.
The Levant City is naturally sacred, and its land is stained with the blood of saints. As for the Glory Holy City, it had existed for a thousand years before it became the holy city of the Glory Holy See...
"The original belief of the great empire was not our Lord. In fact, this city was once a city harboring filth and evil, a city of luxury and licentiousness. It was the Vatican who was stationed here, and it took thousands of years of holy light to cleanse it.
Let it be a holy city..."
The pope's eyes lit up. Wasn't it coming? Wasn't it a ready excuse?
"Yes, when the Glory Holy City was founded, we have been committed to fighting the devils, destroying them, expelling them, and sealing them. To this day, the most ferocious and despicable devils are still sealed under the Glory Holy City..."
The cheeks of several legends relaxed. There are too many names of devils. The Holy Scripture records the establishment of the Glorious Religion, the process of the Holy Army's conquests in the north and south, and also records the names of many devils.
——
After all, in the ancient times, ancient times, and even in the early days of the great empire, all kinds of beliefs flourished. The god of thunder, the god of fire, the god of war, the sun god, the god of love and beauty...
In the process of the rise of the Shining God Religion, they either disappeared from people's memory, or were declared illegal, the temples were smashed, the priests were killed, or the old gods were simply beaten into devils.
Among these devils, select a few that have a particularly bad reputation and are related to the local legends of the Glory Holy City...
"Recently, the world has been in chaos, and the power of the devil has increased. The evil god Ahriman, sealed under the glorious Holy City, is ready to try to break through the seal.
Seeing that the seal could not be maintained, the Pope made an immediate decision and called on our Lord’s power to destroy the devil. Because of the urgency of the matter, a large number of our Lord’s loyal servants sacrificed their precious lives...”
The Pope slowly stated. The legends looked at each other and frowned slightly, but they didn’t say anything else——
That's all, this statement can barely be solved. Although those who don't believe it still don't believe it, but those who are doubtful have an official statement, which can almost comfort them a little.
"Although the devil has been eliminated, the seal broke under divine punishment and the devil's breath still leaked out.
In order to protect the Lamb of the Lord, the Holy See has decided to temporarily relocate the people and low-level monks of the Holy City, leaving the elite behind to gradually purify the Holy City."
He sat solemnly, looking at the legends one by one with the expectation he was trying to hide. [Pale Sword] Abby Lucio pondered for a moment and nodded fiercely:
"That's it! No matter what, get the people out first! Then seal it again and purify the Holy City. I can also take action. I can't let the Holy City go on like this forever..."
"I am responsible for guiding and comforting the believers." [Wugong Walker] lowered his voice and whispered:
"The lambs of the Lord are innocent. As shepherds, we should comfort them."
"I am responsible for treating them... Although magical treatment cannot be used, there are always some herbs and other methods that can make them feel better..."
[Hands of Mercy] Sister Marietta took over. One after another, the legends claimed their respective tasks on behalf of themselves and the forces behind them.
In the end, only one task remained unclaimed:
Should opponents be suppressed?
Do you want to suppress those who talk nonsense?
Do you want to patrol various places to maintain the majesty of the Holy See in this turbulent time?
