If the group of cardinals and cardinals headed by the Pope are politicians, then the Inquisition under the leadership of the Chief Magistrate is a country's army. The only difference is that these politicians also possess powerful power.
To put it simply, the pope and the bishops are responsible for the spread of Catholic doctrine and show themselves as saints of tolerance, magnanimity, and fraternity. The Inquisition is the executioner who secretly carries out iron-blooded actions. Their most important function is to cleanse all heretics.
, send all those who oppose the Lord to hell.
The Inquisition belongs to the Holy See but is independent of the Holy See. On the surface, the presiding judge has a lower status than the pope. In fact, he is the two head of the Holy See who holds military and political power. The pope does not have the power to order the presiding judge.
It's just that, as a hidden murderous organization, the Inquisition is not well known to the world.
For those bishops who are responsible for promoting doctrines, the conditions for their advancement are strength and faith. However, the only condition for advancement in the Inquisition is strength.
Strength represents everything here. The one with the big fist is grandpa. No matter who is behind you, if you don’t have the ability, you can only become a pawn.
Four square formations stood neatly on the school field. They were as motionless as sculptures, not even blinking.
Referee Albert was followed by twelve young knights, all around thirty years old, and the oldest was less than forty years old, but each of them had at least the strength of the early stage of distraction. Except for the referee and
Apart from the deputy chief referee, he is the strongest person in the entire tribunal. If you say this, some people may find it strange - how can he be so strong in the early stage of distraction?
That’s right!
This is the difference between the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. Although their strength is not weak, they have not reached the level of the Grand Master. What really makes them advance to the top masters is the twelve sets of weapons created by the early Vatican.
A holy weapon that has been handed down from time to time and possesses infinite power.
According to legend, only those who are devout believers in God can be recognized by these sacred instruments. Once recognized by the sacred instruments, they will become candidates for the Knights of the Round Table.
Then, after being nurtured and trained since childhood, the twelve strongest people are selected from the candidates to exert the greatest power of the twelve sets of holy weapons as much as possible. These people are the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, and these holy weapons will make
Their fighting power increased to incredible levels.
What does the increase of a large realm symbolize?
That is a disparity of nearly fifty times, allowing them to step into the ranks of top masters in one fell swoop and become the best among cultivators.
Albert's attitude towards Xia Lei is quite good. He doesn't care about the other party's identity like the Pope, but a person with such a strong strength at such a young age can definitely bring great influence to the referee for him who regards strength as supreme.
Comes with many benefits.
Pointing to the phalanx of knights at the front, which consisted of only a hundred people and was covered in golden armor: "Kasa, this is the most powerful Golden Knights in the Inquisition. Although there are only 120 people, each one has great strength."
roar!
More than a hundred people uniformly drew out the knight's sword that emitted blazing holy light, and the roar resounded through the sky, shaking the white clouds in the sky to pieces.
Different from the Holy Light usually used by the Pope and those bishops, this Holy Light does not have the slightest gentleness, but is full of fiery energy of aggression and destruction, and also shows the difference between the Inquisition and the priests under the Pope's command.
A large swath of holy light tightly surrounded the phalanx, forming an almost solid dazzling ball.
Xia Lei couldn't help but be shocked. Judging from the energy they released, at least they had a cultivation level equivalent to the middle stage of distraction, and a dozen of them even reached the peak level of the late stage of distraction!
"No wonder the Holy See has been able to lead Europe for so many years, faintly overpowering the Dark Parliament, and still has the power to deal with other forces around the world."
Xia Lei had to be convinced by the Golden Knights in front of him. This power was not much different from the same level of power in the cultivation world, but this was only the power of the Holy See. There was an equally powerful Dark Parliament in Europe. Of course, those who had been practicing for two years
The cultivation of spiritual power has definitely reached a new level in today's world of cultivation. The old guys who have been stuck in the original realm for hundreds of years have probably made some breakthroughs, right?
"This is the Silver Knights, but three of them are permanently guarded in each parish. The total number is always maintained at one thousand. Together with the Golden Knights, they are the strongest operational force of the Inquisition."
"These two phalanxes are the Knights of the Dawn and the Knights of the Holy Light. Each of them has 5,000 people. On the one hand, it serves as the selection group for the Gold and Silver Knights. It is also the backbone of small-scale cleansing."
Albert's explanation was heard in his ears. Xia Lei was secretly shocked by the strength of the Holy See. Not to mention the Silver Knights, who at least had mid-level out-of-body cultivation. Even the so-called Dawn Knights and Holy Light Knights were the weakest.
It is also equivalent to the golden elixir stage. Among them, masters equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage account for 40%, and there are hundreds more who have reached the early and middle stages of out-of-body cultivation.
It is undeniable that the Holy See is still not as good as the cultivation world in terms of top experts, but the number of mid-level experts is much greater than that in the cultivation world.
While their life span is far less than that of cultivators, their cultivation speed is also not comparable to that of cultivators. Even if a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is extremely talented, it is impossible for him to reach the Yuanying stage if he does not take more than a hundred years. However, to practice fighting spirit and magic, he must advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
, those with better qualifications may only have more than ten years, and the gap is obvious.
Albert saw the surprise in his expression, and suddenly felt a little drifting in his heart, and his expression could not help but soften a little: "Since His Majesty allows you to enter the tribunal, I will hand over the Silver Knights to you, and the Gold Knights will always be led by me.
.Antonio, you will be responsible for assisting Sir Caesar from now on. North America has been making frequent moves recently, and there should be some trouble soon."
Immediately, a Knight of the Round Table came forward and saluted him respectfully, and then nodded to Xia Lei.
It can be seen that this guy is Albert's confidant and the strongest one among the twelve Knights of the Round Table. This can be seen from some subtle movements. For example, when walking, he is always in front of the other eleven people, such as the other Knights of the Round Table.
Be very respectful to him and so on.
Xia Lei is not stupid enough to think that he has great power. This guy who is nominally assisting him is actually trying to contain him and even deprive him of his leadership rights when necessary.
Sudden!
A young man wearing silver armor walked out of the Silver Knights and shouted in a deep voice: "Dear Lord Caesar, I, Longo, the captain of the third team of the Silver Knights, request to compete with you."
"Compete with me?" Xia Lei was a little confused. Could this girl's head be caught by the door?
Even if you want to provoke, you shouldn't choose this time. If you have trouble with yourself in front of so many people, isn't it the same as embarrassing the Pope? The situation depends on the occasion. Is it possible that the tribunal is full of people with strong limbs and simple minds?
In fact, he completely misunderstood what the other party meant. Longo's challenge was not ordered by Albert, or it was simply the unwritten rules of the Knights. If you want to lead this team, you must have the strength to convince the entire team.
The Inquisition does not have as many means as the Pope's.
Albert could see that Xia Lei had misunderstood, but he didn't know what to say. He could only look at Longge angrily: "His Majesty, Mr. Kasa is the person appointed by His Majesty. It has nothing to do with your damn rules. Besides, given his age,
How is it possible..."
"I accept your challenge."
Interrupting Albert's words directly, Xia Lei quickly understood that he had indeed misunderstood, and smiled: "Captain Longe, you must have heard about what happened two days ago, right? Do you really think you can deal with me?"
Longge was a straight-tempered person. He shook his head indifferently and shouted angrily: "I don't believe you can have that kind of strength at your age. Besides, what if the rumors are true? According to the rumors, your
The Holy Dou Qi is at least ten times weaker than mine, and it takes time to release magic, so I will not give you a chance to release magic."
While speaking, he took off his armor and knight's sword, and said in a deep voice: "A fair fight, I know you have a powerful holy weapon, and you are not allowed to use weapons. Do you dare?"
This guy is not too stupid. He knows that although he is much stronger than his opponent, he suffers a big loss in terms of weapons. Both sides are not allowed to use weapons. Xia Lei is definitely not his opponent.
Longge's strength is enough to reach the middle stage of distraction. Knights who have reached this level also have the ability to fly. Although the increase of the Tianyan Immortal Art is very strong, Xia Lei can only use the light-attributed true essence. Usually, he combines light and darkness.
Fusion produces the effect of one plus one which is greater than two. If he only uses light attribute primeval energy, his strength will only be at most 30% of what it was in its heyday.
Therefore, he who was originally in the middle stage of distraction after adding the increase, in this case is roughly equivalent to the early stage of distraction, and the magic released without the staff will not only be greatly reduced in power, but also the release time will be greatly extended.
"Do I have a choice?"
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders. The 2880 white golden elixirs in his body were running rapidly. Unparalleled powerful true energy rolled out and gathered together, and a dazzling holy light shrouded the body surface.
Longo raised his thumb and said loudly: "Then, I won't have any reservations."
The four knights dispersed with a roar, quickly made way for a large space, and sealed the area with holy power. Even if everyone gathered their strength, even if the referee personally took action, it would be impossible to destroy every plant and tree here.
Xia Lei and Long Ge were suspended in the air with white light lingering all over their bodies. The snow-white holy flames were burning crazily. The temperature around them instantly rose to a terrifying level, as if even the space was about to be burned. From the comparison of the thickness of the energy, Xia Lei
Lei is obviously much weaker than Longo, but the purity of his light energy is extremely amazing. When the quality and quantity are converted, the gap between them has narrowed several times.
Even so, according to energy conversion, Xia Lei is still about three times weaker than his opponent, which is a gap of one level.
drink!
Longge roared, and his whole body turned into a sharp meteor and rushed over. The holy light on his fist became ten times stronger, and tiny cracks could be faintly seen in the space.
A loud noise was accompanied by a terrifying shock wave, and the air was burned out in an instant. Xia Lei was knocked away nearly a hundred meters by a punch. On the other hand, Longo only took a few steps back. Surprisingly, it was his right fist that
He was covered in bruises and was still shaking, and the severe pain made his whole face twitch.
Using the true energy of Yin and Yang to warm and nourish the acupoints, and to temper the body, meridians, organs and bones all the time, the powerful body created by the Tianyan Immortal Technique is a million miles away from even the masters of the Demon Sect's physical training.
This is the fundamental basis for Xia Lei to dare to fight against Longge!
